inc the week of fighting in the streets the
Communists lost 10000 in killed and wounded
and 10000 in prisoners, while their total losses
during the siege aggregate $4,000 in killed and

numbers the victims assaSsinated in La Ro-

The execution of Cluseret completes the ex-
termination of the one hundred and six mem
bers of the Commune Government, with the
exception of Pyat and Grousset, who have not
yet been found. Cluseret might well have been
spared at an earlier day, for he did infinite
mischief to the cause which he aspired. Only
two of the whole number of the Commune,
Duval and FlouIens, fell hOnorably in battle
all tie rest were victims to the iealOusies
of comrades or the rage of the conquering
Versailists. Flourens, young and impulslve,
misled by Lis enthusiastic love of liberty,
which he could not understand, and sacrificed
to his ignorance OF war, was perhaps the best
of the piratical crew. They have sunk their
ship with them, and gone down amid the
curses of their cOuntrymcn. No association OF
men in power ever combined such blind lgno-
rance of government with such wild cnthu-
siasms for freedom, or in the mad pursuit of
power and license did more mischief III as

FREE TRADE F4LLACIES.

We are already prepared for all manner of
absurdities respecting the Tariff in The World,
but it appears to have touched the climax in
the following:

Now, it would be very Improbable to
demonstrate the fallacy of the above, solely
because it has appeared in The World. That
journal has two classes of readers whom it
equally pleases by such reckless msrepresenta-
ton: those Free-Tmders who know it is
untrue but think that 1t deceives others; and
those who, blinded by passion, ignorance, or
interest, are disposed to approve the most
reckless misstatements where Protection Is
concerned So long as that journal receives
approval from these sources, it will perslStently
repeat its unfounded allegations.
But the same basis of calculation was used
by Special Commissioner, and also III Con-
gress, and forms the staple argument OF every
demagogue who finds an audience so foolish
az to listen TO him, assailng Protection.

The reports from this city and its vicinity
show how general and how spontaneous were
the hOnOrs paid yesterday to the memories OF
the loyal dead, and the telegraph informs us
of the universally of these touching Obsery-
ances. There was no bitterness mingled with
the expressions of tender regret by which the
exercises of the day were distinguished; in
very few cases was there the slightest political
bias exhibited by the speakers, and
these were not approved by the audiences.
The practice of any one virtue gives strength
and viyacity to the other. The exercise OF
the sentiments Of gratitude and patriotism
which give rise to these solemn ceremonies

it were an approval of the conduct of Fisk and
his associates in all the suits which Judge
Smith pronounces fraudulent. 1t is plain to

beginning to its end, no charge of impTopriety
