The National Assembly effected an organize
tion on the 9th, by re-elocting President Grevy
and Vice Presidents of last session, as legally
elected representatives. The status of the Or
leans Princes promises to be one of the leading
questions before the Assembly. Bills, restor-
ing to them confiscated estates and all their
rights as citizens of France, are preparing and
ticipated that the measure will give rise to
long and excltiug debates. The ext1ene left
wing will meet them by proposals for general
amnesty, which, setting free tho thouaands of
Communists still held prisoners in hnlks and
will be 'considered an equitaaia
compliment act of justice proposed to the
Hense of Orleans. The President, with his
himself on subjects SO productive of agita ton.
President Theirs message to the Assembly
warns the deputies never to forget to what
depths of wretchedness the Empire led the
country. France shouid now look for complete
to God and to time. It was her
policy to endure dignifed peace Should war
occur despite her determination to stay at
resume the position to which abe was entitiNd,
not only for her own good but in the interest
of all nations. Franco sympathizes with tho
Pope in tho maintenance of his spiritual in !
dependence, and win, in case of need, give the |
Holy Father vigorous support The utmost |
is manifested towards Austria, for |
whose prosperity fervent hope Is expressed. /
rhe relations Of France with Russia, says the |
President, are those Of reciprocal interests. |
President Theirs deplores the Indebtedness Of |
he country, but says 10 10 duo TO the machiua- |
ions OF the Emperor Napoleon. The Presi- /
lent advocates the establishments of general l
ompulsory military service In war time and !
proposes q limitation Of the annual contingent /

rs THIS 4 TRACK SHOULD
NOT BE BEATEN?"

Many poor people afflicted With
q sickly fastidiousness, and q disor-
dered digestive apparatus are crying
out 1--WE have had enough of that
sort of thing; give MS something
else now besides the Customhouse
outrages; We have heard enough Of
them"
II ia to this very sort of con-
tentedness with merely making q
"grsat cry" and gathering no wool,
that We owe SO many Of the failures
OF our lives. THERE'S no persistency
in given course. We make the
fatal mistake Of imagining that all
We have to DO to effect reformations,
to accompIslf3 esirahlo ends, is. to
make one great noise, and to fold
our arms and lull in fancied security,
believing that the thing is done.
There are happily those who believe
differently. and who know better.
And they are persuaded in this
case that unless the hideous char
acter of tie recent ontrages is ex-
posed; unless the whole voice of
the American people is heard in its
denunciatory tones; unless the Press
of the country, keeps up attention
to the fragrant usurpations OF popu-
Lon rights by the Federal appointees
in the New Orleans Customhouse,
the whole object and aim of all the
struggle will fail of ultimate accom-
plishment and realization. We are
fain to acknowledge that this is now
beaten track, but
II. this g track should not bs beaten
Rather never beat enough, till enough
taught,
The truths it would inspire
TIL there has been such a vindi-
cation Of the rights Of the
people, till such a negative ex-
ample has been made Of the perpe-
traitors of the great wrongs inflicted
as will efectually guarantee pop
ular rights and privileges against
the usurpations of designing, un-
scrupulous men, and deter wrong
doors from the REPETITION Of similar
offences, there must be the contin-
uance in the agitation Of Custom
house Oitrages.

THE PISTOL MAIN.

There has been another life taken
in the city during the past three
days. This time ,Aesth ia met at
the hands Of an of6cer Of the law.
A Coroner's inquest held)over the
body of the deceased, Michael
Hickey. reveals the facts that Hickey
was, in company with two otherA
seen proving about the neighbcr-
hood Of Franklin between Canal
and Gasquet On Thursday night
between ten and eleven O'Clock.
That on the approach Of Policemen
they showed q disposition to svoid
being too .near to the officers.
They were however accosted BY
officer J. n. Stevenson, who observ-
ing their motions as OF searching
for something, asked them what
they were looking for. They said
50 breastpin." Another officer
appears and recognizes them as
thieves and thinks they ought to be
arrested. The men move away and
Hickey leaves the other two and &c
along the car track. The officers
persua',ing themselves that the mer
should be arrested, take the two in
custody, at the sight Of which
Hickey starts at run to get away
A chase ensues by officer Stevenson
and Hickey runs up Franklin, thu
cries of thief !" "Stop him" ana
such, attract crowd, and the atten
ton of officer Coughlin who, coming
down Franklin on one banquet a
Hickey was running mp on thu
other, drew his revolver and free
two shots at the fleeing man anG
killed him almost instantly.
The verdict Of the Coroner
jury is that Hickey came to hi
death from a pistol shot wound
from a pistol in the hands Of Office
Coughing.
I Coroner Creagh at once made al
affidavit before Recorder Houshto,
charging Coughlin with murder.
