The Situation In Paris.

The carnival of blood has ended in
Paris, in the destruction Of the Com
mune, and in the restoration ct Ia"
and order by the triumpA OF lhe
Versailists. Red RepublicaniS'n has
been exhibited in its true coors,and has
achieved an ignominy and aroused a
hatred which arc most favorable to
the restoration Of o strong govern
mcnt The future Of France it is
difficult TO furcscc, whilst the rival
factions of Legitimalists, Orlcanists,
Impcnalists and Liberals are all con-
tending for the mastery. Tho first
find their representative in the Count
Do Chambord, the last scion Of the
elder branch of the house Of Bourbon; !;
the second in the Orleans princes
sons and grandsons Of Louis Philip !;
the third in the late Emperor Napo-
leon; the last in Thiers, Favre and
their associates, who now hold the
rcins Of power. These last seem to lack
nerve, and inspire no confidence; and
hence the impression is that their
tenure of Office is brief. The Bourbon
princes have dono nothing to gratify
French pride, ana have exhibited
none Of the qualities which would
entitlc them to the rule Of u great
people. On the contrary, tho late
Emperor, in spite of all his loss Of
prestige, is associated with the glory
and prosperity of Trance. lie has
the support of a large part of tho
army, and perhaps Of a majority OF
the people. Ho is sanguinc Of res'ora-
ton, and likely makes his calculations
from certain data.
The vote of the Assembly-if the
determination of the future gov
ernment of France is left to the
Asscmbly-will restore the Bour-
bons. The masses in France are
f orthe Bonapartcj-hence their love
for their pleJiscite. The intelligence
of Frauce is in favor of restoring
the House of Orleans-hence the
dread of the Assembly by the impe-
rialists. The question Of the hour
in France is-shall the Assembly
or the people decide?

Judge Orr Interviewed.

. We publish in another column, the
views of Judge Orr on the political
situation, as given by a Herald cores
pondent, which will be read with in
tcrest even by those who dissent from
his conclusions. There seems to DC
no difference of opinion as to the Po-
litical ills, under which we now s1tfer
and the necessity of relief, but only
~ to the mode of relief. According
to Judge Orr, this can only be achiev;
cd through the Republican party, and
bo advises us MI to become Republ!-
cans. If the difference between
these parties was only nominal and
involved no change of principle, the
advice might be followed. But the
cardinal difference is as. well defined
now rs ever. The Democracy
plant themselves upon a written Con
stitution, strictly construed, as the
sole guarantee, of the reserved powers
of the States. Rcpublicanism would
absorb all of these in grand central
dcspotism. AS to accepting the
Amendments as parts of the Consti-
tuition, they are agreed, but in their
estimate of the instrument itself they
arc entirely at variance. But even
if the change were practicable, the
history of the Reform movement
proves how little can be accomplished
by it,. Between Democracy and Re-
publicanlsm our people will not hesi-
tate long to choose.

Davis or Vallandingham.

The Republican journals of the
North are trying to make any
amount Of party capital out of the
declaration of Mr.. Davis at At
lanta, that he did not "accept the
situation," and charge the De.
mocracy of the South with a de-
sire to follow his lead in another
war for independence. The North
crn Democratic journals have been
prompt to disavow any sympathy
with such sentiments, and the
World thus refers to to'tle action
of the State Conventions:
The Democracy of New York
defined their position long ago;
thew will have thirty-three votes
in the Democratic National Con-
ycntion. The Democracy of Penn
syIvania have done the same
they will have twenty,slx votes
in the National Convention. Yes
terday the Democracy Of Ohio de-
fined their position they will have
twcnty-onc votes in, the couven.
ton. kentucky, which has also
ron,li,tod dead issues. will have
eleven votes, and Missouri the
same number. The Democracy
of Michigan and OF all the New
England States only await an oc'
casion to declare themselves in the
same sense, and they will have
altoyether forty-sevcn votes in the
National Convention. We regard
it as quite certain that the De-
mocracy of every other Northern
State will equally accept the stu,
alton. The Southern people should
therefore see that when Mr.. Da-
Wis anchors his hopes to the lost
cause, he resembles that apocry.

Tie Necessity Of Harmony Between
the Whites and Blacks.

Tho thoughtful and observant cor
respondent Of the New York Tribune
in a.reccnt letter, remarks thut there
can bo no prosperity for the blacks
until the present feeling of hostility
shall subside, and ami:ablc relations
shall be- established between the races
SAYS he: "Tho general condition
of the negroes throughout this State
cannot bo said to. DO encouraging.
The great difficulty in tho way OF
their prosperity is tho distrust and
animosity existing between them ana
tho white mon occasioncd by political
hostility. An intelligent mu'atto
member Of the Legislature argued
this to me, a few days ago, with mark
ed good sense: "Ncither race can DO
wcil,".he said, "until harmony and
confidence prevail between them.
Each is dependent upon tho other;
but, as tho white men have the land
and the capital, whilo we are poor
aud have notLiug but our labor, we
suffer the most in consequence OF the
existing cnmity. You must not take
my opinions as representing those OF
many Of my race. On tho contrary,
if they were known I should be un-
nopuar, But | am convinced there

the sufferers. We must yield some
thing for tho sake Of peace. Many
Of nv friends insist that VIC must
have Il race party and mako no com
promise. They are crazy for otnrc'
and as the negroes have $4,000 major

should control the government ana

ourht not TO be done If the colored
neonle were intelligent and had pro,
pcrty, this plan might succeed, ont II
1t should b. attempted now there
would be anarchy and bloodshed'
What our people need is to have
friendly relations with the white men.

THE Bowen BIGAMY :CAsE.-The
trial of ex-Congrcssman c. c. Bowen
for bigamy before the criminal court
at Washing gton, has resulted in YER
dict of guilty. His first marriage
to Mrs. Francis Hicks Bowen in
Augusta, in 1852, was clearly proved
and the defence relied upon, was a
divorce alleged to have been obtained
in O. New York Court in 1860. l"
this there was signal failure, as the
evidence showed that the records OF
the Court had been tampercd with,
and spurious decree exhibited 50
that to the crime of bigamy, Bowen
seems to have superaddcd, forgery
