Franco made war on Germany Ill 1870, rs
she had repeatedly done in former years. II

pcciolly those of Louis XIV, were "a WAnton

tbe ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of France by the conquest
and absorption of German territory on the
Rhine. and the humiliation OF Germany by the
victorious capture and occupation OF Berlin by
Napoleon's grand army.

tables so completely turned upon an invader:
Franco has been routed in battle alter

The PariSiaus have been so long the pet+ed
children of fortune that IT seems impossible
for them to accept with dignity the yisitdtions
of disaster. Ever since the announcement was
made of the intention of the German army to
occupy the city, the excitable children of Paris
have been in frantic state of passion and
rage The usually calm and reasonable Trochu;
who has held his tongue during The siege with
true Breton Obstinacy lost all scli-contrOl on
hearing that the victors were to march into
the surrendered capital, and made the silly
proposition that the gates should be closed by
the authorities and opened only by the enemy's
cannon. 1t is well known that the discussion
of this subject in the Convention consumed
more time than any other, and that the French
plenipOtcntaries yielded the point as an
equivalent for the retention of BclfOrt. 1t Is
q matter of form purely, and might have been
Welded by the one side or the other with no
material damage. We have already expressed
our opinion that if the Prussian army had
reSolutely turned away from their PROSTATE
quarry and gone to their homes without further
parade it would have been an act Of very
unusual generosity and magnanimity. But it
is not possible to deny the entire right of the
Germans to avail themselves of this provision
Of TIE Convention The entry of the real
Napoleon into Berlin has been for sixty-ive
years n ranking memory in Germany. When
the pnchbeck usurper started last July on
lis way to the Rhine, he promised his
courtier5 trumphal entry into the city of
the Spree and "A glorious treaty Of peace at
kOnigsberg Now that his dream of dishonest
conquest has fallen TO pieces, it is almost too
much TO expect OF human nature that those
who have conquered his armies and broken
| his power should deprive themselves of the
GROWING qualification of a march through his
capital. IL would have been difficult for Bis
marcS to bend the Kaiser from his cherished
purpose OF reversing the drama of Jena and
even if the Court agreed upon the expediency
of foregoing the parade it would have been n
sore disappointment to the rank and file. who
have been cheered through a thousand priya
tons with the hope of treadng the beautiful
streets of the worlds metropolis.
If we leave out of view the question of eY-
nedicney, the right Of the Prussians is incon-
testable. 1t is theirs by conquest and by
treaty, and any attempt at forcible resistance
OH the part of the Parisians would be equally
disloyal and absurd. The war is over. The
representatives of the people Of France, duly
authorized for the purpose, have made con-
yention throwing open to the coDquering
army the gates of Paris The National
Assembly has ratified the conditions
submitted by its delegates. The Emperor
Of Germany and his soldiers, therefore entered

government,

The treaty with Prussia was received by
the Republican members of the Constituent
Assembly of France with many expressions of
Indignation; and propositions of rejection
were submitted by delegates from Alsaco and
Paris. An unfortunate COTsiCan rising to a
defense of the Empire and of Napoleon, gave
another direction 10 this blind rage
and fury; and the whole Assem-
bly,, possibly with the exception Of
the Imperial delegate voted resolutions
decrccing the fall of the Empire, as if that
were not already an accomplished fact, and
stigmatizing Napoleon "a the author of the
Eiseries of France, as though it were an Opin-
ion which any one would take the trouble to
seriously dispute. After this vent Of rage, and
an earnest speech from NJ. Theirs, demanding
the immediate ratification of the treaty, the
Assembly grew calm, and yesterday the treaty
was accepted and ratified by a vote of 5iG to
l01. the noes being largely composed OF Re
pUl lCans.
