sembly.
There seems to be general dissatisfaction at
the course pursued by the Assembly on the
subject Of the disarmament of the National
Guard and on several other questions. Gene
raj Faidherbe has even gone so far as to re-
sign his seat as a Deputy. The radi-
cal journals in Paris unanimously demand
the dissolution of the Assembly, while all
the other papers are bitter in their comments
on yesterdays proceedings. The National
Assembly has to all appearances outlived its
usefulness, and now there remains nothing for
it but to die gracefully.
It is noisy, fussy, unruly body, and its
majority is evidently bent on the establish
ment Of a monarchy. But the Assembly will
never vote its suicide 1t cannot be dissolved
by the present government, which Is part and
parcel Of it, The Theirs government
exists only at the pleasure Of the As
sembly, which is the real sovereign of France
Hence it can only be dissolved by q coup
dttat, and M. Theirs is not equal TO such an
emergency. But Gambetta Is. To oil appear
ances there is conflict impending which will
either lead to the firm establishment of re-
public under the leadership Of Gambetta or
to the triumph of the National Assembly and
q monarchy.

The President Of the French republic seems
to be both impulsive and weak. He has on
more than one occasion threatened, directly
or indirectly, to resign, when embarrassed by
the action of the Assembly. When inter-
rupted violently by the members Of the Right,
at the time he was speaking on the bill for the
disbandment of the National Guard, he re-
marked, lit was evident he had lost the con-
hdence OF the Assembly, and that he knew
what course to adopt" We now learn by
our special telegraphio dispatches that he had
determined last night to resign, though he did
not say SO In plain terms to the Assembly.
1t appears, however, that his friends refused
to communicate his purpose to the Assembly,
and, fortunately, the vote afterwards on the
National Guard bill helped to get over the
difficulty. With all his ability and experience
Theirs seems to be unequal to the exgencies
of his position. This threatening to resign,
or intimating 80 frequently that he might do
so, shows weakness. That would not be the
course Of great and bold statesman. 1t is
not unlikely that he will be pushed to the wall
SO closely by one or other of the parties in the
Assembly before long as to cause him to re-
sign. What would follow no one can foresee.
Probably desperate war among the different
factions for ascendancy.

BRooKLYN's INVESTIGATION OF THE WEST
FIELD EXPLOSION. Coroner's jury in
Brooklyn, which undertook the investigation
of the West6eld disaster, has gone step
further than the New York jury and included
Inspector Mathews among the persons
responsible for the explosion. We see no OBJ
lection to this, as we have always thought Mr..
Mathews should be indicted with the others /;
but there is certainly grave objection to the
action of the Brooklyn Coroner. These men
must not be vexed by unnecessary prosecu-
tons, and no principle of law can be clearer
than that they should be tried only where
their alleged crime was committed. II
Brooklyn is to have the right to try these
men, every county in the State may indict
them, and even New Jersey give them taste
of Jersey justice. A more silly piece of
business has not been seen in long time, and
Coroner Whitehill and his jury have only sue
ceeded in making themselves ridiculous.

A Significant Introduction.

Contrary to a cable report yesterday the
French government has, according to our
latest despatch, forbidden public rejoicings on
the 4th of September, the anniversary Of the
French republic. This announcement does not
argue 70. the stability of republican institu-
tions in France. II ever a nation deserved
the charge of Ackleness 1t ia surely the French
nation. 1t il less than year since all Paris.
we might say all France, went crazy with joy
at the proclamation of the republic, or the Gov
eminent of National Defence, which was meant
to signify the same thing. The republican
cause must have lost much of Its popularity
when the government which issued from the
events of the 4th of September deems It neces-
sary to deny its origin. This Introduction has
probably been issued at tho bidding of the
majority Of the Nation al Assembly. At any
rate it shows that the republic is far from
being firmly established in France. But there
may be another reason for this inconsistency.
By the light of the recent revelations the
Government Of National Defence does not
appear 30 white with pure patriotism and the
late imperial regime not so black with bad
designs as they were at first represented to be.
The empire caused Sedan, and the government
Of the 4th of September caused the Commune.
Hence both are connected with disgrace in the
memory of Frenchmen.

THE CHOLERA AT ANTwRRP.-A cable
despatch from London, which we publish this
morning, announces the appearance of cholera
at Antwerp. 1t Is manifest from this that the
epidemic is steadily progressing westward.
The European governments, nearly all of them,
have already taken precautions to guard
against its introduction into their respective
countries. In England, particularly, the
quarantine regulations have been rendered
more stringent in view of the approach of the
epidemic. The Italian government has now
ordered rigid quarantine Of all vessels COM
ing from Antwerp. Let US hope that the
health authorities on this side of the Atlantic
will not be found mapping should the terrible
scourge pay visit to our shores.

gether in two or three large communities,
each in district where they may sustain
themselves in the raising Of cattle, horses,
sheep, &C., and in the cultivation of the soil,
will be comparatively easy. 1t Is true that in
small communities, surrounded by white set
Elements, these Indians may be more readily
assimilated with the whites than they can be
in large communities; but their dangers In
small detachments from the aggressions and
provocatons of white border rufians are very
great and the Indian is quick and deadly in
his reverges.
In any event we are encouraged, from the
official representations of the Secretary of the
Interior, in the hope that General Grants
peace policy, even with our wild Indians will
mark In history the ending of the old, barbar-
GUS policy of swindling Indian agents and
wars of Indian determination, and the begin
ming OF the policy Systematically pursued by
the government of humanity, charity and
peace toward the red man, who has been long
enough robbed of his lands, cheated of his
annulties, swindled in every way and hunted
TO death as an outlaw. The Florida war
against less than a thousand fighting Semi
noles cost the Treasury, chiefly under Van
Buren's administration, the enormous sum Of
forty millions of dollars. Hundreds of mil
lions have since been lost by the government
in the needless costs Of Indian wars and swim
ding Indian contractors and treaty breakers.
In falling back upon the original Indian
policy of William Penn, the policy of peace,
and in securing the Quakers to assist him in
this policy, General Grant is sustained by the
general public sentiment of the country, and
has been so far successful in the experiments
made that we can hardly doubt that before the
end of his administration we shall have the
end Of our Indian wars and the Ratchet buried
from Oregon to Texas and from Dakota to
Arizona.

TIE NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION
is IN session at st. Louis. So far nothing
affecting the great cause of education has
been done. Most Of the time Of the delegates
has been devoted to reading long essays upon
abstruse subjects and junketing to Iron Noun

ncttion with education in this country is the
adoption Of some sound, practicable means BY
which its standard shall be improved and the
system relieved Of the incubus Of politics IN

THE CoREAN FIGHT.-We publish to-day a
graphic account of the fight between our sailor
boys and the Coreans by an officer engaged in
the expedition. 1t gives many interesting de-
tails in addition to those already furnished to
our readers by our special correspondent. As
may be seen, those who undertake to force
their way to the capital of Corea have no easy
task before them, as the natives are full of
fight and learn quickly how to adapt their
mode of fighting to what is in vogue at the
present day.

Is IT RIGHT or humane to set little children
like puppets upon triumphal car, and drag
them through the streets in the midst Of
drenching rain, merely to celebrate political
or even q national victory2 The crowds that
witnessed the Italian procession yesterday
were actuated solely with feelings of pity for
the poor, drenched, shivering girls who stood
on exposed platforms as representatives OF the
cities of Italy. There were two deaths from
sunstroke on the occasion OF the great Ger
man procession, and the victims we're young
girls attired In fancy costumes and placed on
. triumphal car, where there was nothing to
protect them from the fierce rays Of the sun.
How much worse is 1t to expose children Of
six and eight years to the mercies of such a
storm as deluged our streets yesterday! II Is
right and proper enough to rejoice in the real
ization of the Italian dream Of unity, but II is
not necessary to indulge in slaughter Of the
innocents. There are plenty Of people to
make fuss over the slightest act Of cruelty
inflicted upon dumb animals; is there no one
to prevent the cruel exposure OF children in
public 10 what might be termed sure death2

begins already to unfold the story of the work
OF destruction. First comes the announcement
that the steamer Lodona has been wrecked on
the Florida coast, with an appalling loss of
twenty lives. Other ships have been disman-
tied and damaged, and there seems hardly a
doubt but that more is still to come In how
far the loss of the Lodona was due to any un-
foreseen point Of weakness cannot now be
determined. Her captain bore high charac-
ter In his profession, and was known as a
thorough sailor. The vessel was believed in
by her owners, and the presumption, there
fore, is that her loss was ordained by Him
who rides on the whirlwind and directs the
storm. *

TzLLow FEVER IN CHARLEsToN.-A de-
spatch from Wilmington, N. c., asserts that
yellow fever prevails in Charleston, and, 1t is
feared, in epidemic form. A letter from q
prominent clergyman in Charleston says four
cases came under the writer's notice. and that
the disease is believed to be spreading. The
city authorities Of Wilmington on Thursday
telegraphed to the Mayor of Charleston
for information, but that official has
not yet deemed it expedent to re-
ply. This very reticence Of the Mayor gives
color to the report-had it been unfounded an
official contradiction would have been at once
returned. Thanks to the efficient quarantine
regulations Of our own port this dreaded
scourge has not invaded our city, although
arrivals in the bay from infected places are of
frequent occurrence, and the near approach Of
cold weather removes all danger from this
disease until another season.
