Revolutionary Excitcmont In Paris-An.
ether Crisis Mt Hand.


The special despatch which we publish this
morning, on the revolutionary excitement
which has sprung up in Paris since the execu-
tion Of Rossel is very significant. The Theirs
government is uneasy. 1t displays excessive
vigilance troops are actively patroling the
streets; the police are at every street corner !;
the public mind is unsettled; the impression
prevails that the present state of things can
not last. Among the last words of Rossel, it
appears, were these :-'If you have not be-
fore long crushed the army, 1t will crush you
1t has always been pratorian, and has always
formed distinct party 10 the country" and
hence, no doubt, this active fermentation
among the radical elements of revolutionary
Paris. The crisis is evidently near at hand
when the temporizing Theirs will be COM
PEELED to choose between the Jacobin Club
and the empire, for il is apparent that all the
political elements Of Paris and France are
joining the party which goes for an imperial
restoration, or the party intent upon another
revolution and radical republican govern
ment.
The execution Of Rossel, il is already made
manifest, was blunder which is worse than
crime. We see that the suppression Of the
Commune has not extinguisbed the revolu-
tionary 'reds"-that the revolutionary spirit,
which was the strength Of the Commune, sur
wives and is full Of danger to the existing gov
ernment. Nor shall we be surprised to hear
within short time that President Theirs has
retired from the helm, that Marshal MacMahon
administered coup-d-ftat upon the existing
Assembly, that he has proclaimed the restora-
ton Of the Emperor, and that Napoleon the
Third is on bis way TO Paris to answer to the
call OF the army.

Tho Municipal TumuIs Renewed In Brus.
seis-A Dctachnent Of the Civic Guard
Recusant.
Brussels Is again disturbed by political
agitation and popular tumult. The municipal
excitement was renewed yesterday morning
1t was intense in the evening.
Yesterday was q fete day with the Com
munists Of the European Continent. 1t was
observed as such in the Belgian capital,
despite an official warning which was issued
by the Burgomaster, In which he duly eau
toned the Inhabitants to remain within their
dwellings and otherwise deport themselves
as loyal men. He announced at the same time
that illegal assemblages would be dispersed by
force. 1t appears as if the people did not
obey the chief magistrate to any very health
full extent. Political discussions were COM
menced out Of doors; wranging among men
Of opposing factions began; crowds collected;
collisions ensued; the state of the metropolis
was soon made worse than it had been during
the first day of the riots; the police were un-
able-our cable telegram hints they were un-
willing-to act as the emergency required, and
the civic guards were called to arms. A detach-
msnt Of this force, sixty strong, when ordered
to charge upon the people, reversed their mus
kets and refused to obey. This added fuel to the
fame. Mobs took possession of many of the
Streets and held their position amid intense
excitement at tho moment when our despatch
was forwarded. Such Is the report of the
popular movement in Brussels. M. de Decker is
out Of the way and the Ministry is out Of office.
What DO the rioters want Do they know
themselvess Perhaps not. The continuance
of the political tumult reveals the existence Of
decided intent Notwithstanding. The agitated
condition of Brussels is not to be exactly de-
spised by rejecting persons, particularly when
we come to regard the feeling of the peoples
who neighbor Belgium on all sides, even across
the Channel in Britain.

GOVERNOR WARMoTH has called an extra
session Of the Legislature Of Louisiana, to iill
the vacancy occasioned by the death Of the
late Lieutenant Governor Oscar J. Dunn. 1t is
expected that Warmoth men will be chosen in
all the vacant places, much TO the grief and
bitterness Of the opposition. The New Orleans
Bee doubts the constitutionality Of this extra
session Of the Senate. The Times takes the
same view. As the regular session OF the
Legislature commences The nrsu ws~-1, sa"@ a"-@
airy, the calling Of an extraordinary session 81
one branch Of the body so short time in ad-
vance is generally considered unwise and
unnecessary, and hardly up to the standard
Of reform which the Warmothians are
preaching.

ance, although they confess they have bad

Prince Bismnrck's Hines.

Prince Bismarck's health did not permit
him to be present at the opening Of the Prus.
sian Diet Considering the exhaustiug physical
and mental toll the Prince has gone through dur
ing the last ave or six years it is not much to
be wondered at that retirement and repose
should be agreeable to him. We are not led
to believe that the illness is at all serious. AT
the same time II is to be borne in mind that
the Princes tenure of life-important ~ that
life Is to Germany--is no more secure than that
Of any other man. His death, in the present
state Of things, would be an infinitely mora
serious blow to Germany than the death Of the
Prince OF Wales would be to Great Britain.
The British government machine would move
on all the same. But Bismarck has great
national work on hand-of that work he has
been the life aud soul. The unification Of
Fatherland will be associated In all the future
with Bismarck's name. But that work is not
completed; and we know of no German states
man who, in the event Of the death of the
Prince, would be equal to the task Of carrying
it on and browning it with success. Italian
unity is much more an accomplished fact than
is German unity. There is but little danger that
Italy will 90 back. Bsmarcks strong hand
and unbending will hold the German States
together. His death might leave Germany in
chaos aud change the face Of Europe.

THEIRS EXECUTES ANoTHER COMMUNIST
M. Cremieux, one of the French Communist
leaders, who was condemned to death by the
Court Martial, was shot to death yesterday in
accordance with the sentence passed on him.
The death penalty was inflicted in a very sum-
mary manner. He was taken from prison
early in the morning, conveyed a short dis
tance outside the city walls and there shot.
Cremieux bore himself bravely. He refused
to be blindfolded, His latest words were
"Vive la rfpu6Hque" M. Cremieux served
as President of the Provisional Com
mittee Of the Commune. He was
arrested last March. President Thiers is sc-
we're. He is also exceedingly watchful, as will
be seen by our special telegram from Paris.
His publication of the illustration of the ''Last
Cart to the Guillotine" made an impression on
his mind, evidently, with respect to "Red"
revolutions, and the great writer knows that
history repeats itself.

Tho Connolly Case.

Ex-Comptroller Connolly remains in Lud-
low Street Jail but it is rumored that
his bail has been secured and will be per-
fected by Saturday. Some of our contem.
poraries seem to suppose that the pro-
ceedings under which the ex-Comptroller has
been arrested are of criminal character, and
grow indignant over the idea that he should
have been allowed two or three days during
which to procure bail before being locked up
in prison. The suit is civil one. The
constitution specially provides against exces-
sive bail. The law contemplates that every
prisoner should have ample opportunity to
secure his freedom when an offence is bailable,
and hence in this particular case some jour-
nails are making mountain Of mole-hill.
When criminal proceedings are instituted
against the parties guilty of the rascally city
frauds it is very questionable whether bail will
be accepted at all. There is now little doubt
that they will soon be brought within the
grasp of the criminal law, but up to the present
moment the proceedings have been simply
confined to the recovery of the money dishon-
estly taken from the city treasury, and in such
suit no benefit is derived from the incarcera-
ton of the defendants. All that is necessary
is that bail should be provided to insure their
appearance in court, and that steps should be
taken to prevent the disappearance of their

letins issued by the physicians in attendance
at Sandringham stated yesterday the Prince Of
Wales passed an easy night; but the fever has
shown no further sign Of abatement. The
patient remained quiet yesterday evening;
but the symptoms of the disease were un-
changed. The Princess of Wales has recovered
entirely from her attack Of illness. The con-

TEE LATE CUBAN BARBARITIEs. have
special despatch this morning informing us
that the bodies of the poor students executed
the other day at Havana have been refused to
their parents; that others Of the students con-
cerned in their disastrous adventure Of dis
turbing the grave of a royalst are working on
the chain gang in the streets that the father
of one Of the murdered students has died of
grief and that the mothers Of two others have
become insane. This is horrible state of
things Indeed, the chapter of Valmaseda's
barbarities in Cuba is a scandal to the civil
lied world and reproach to our government
which should be wiped out. If President
Grant shall fail to submit this bloody business
to the attention Of Congress, as calling for the
active Intervention of the United States, he
will fall short Of his duty in the common cause
of civilization and humanity, and short of the
just expectations Of the country. He has
been temporizing with those Spanish savages
who rule Cuba too long, and he should shilly-
shally with them no longer. Peace is good
thing when it can be maintained with the ma
tional honor; but otherwise il is national
cowardice and degradation.
THE RETURN OF MINISTER SIcKLEs-WHAT
DOES IT MEAN?-Minister Sickles, having mar
ried an elegant Spanish lady, very properly,
we think, and very naturally, has concluded
to take a trip homewards. There are various
rumors afloat regarding his home coming.
Some have it that he is not likely TO return to
Spain. Others are Of opinion tha. consider
ing the state Of things which now prevails in
Cuba, Mr. Sickles has been requested by the
administration 10 come home and consult as to
the course which it is advisable to pursue in
the premises. Certain il is that the time has
come when the government Of the United
States should adopt bolder policy in regard
TO Cuba. If Spain cannot keep the volunteers
in order, let us relieve Spain of the response
bility by taking possession Of the island. The
return Of Minister Sickles affords fitting OPP
portuniiy for the reconsideration Of our rela-
ton. with Spain. As- ~'~--

TRUST WHAT TIME HAS SANCTIONED. Tho
maxim that the voice OF the peope is the voice
of the divinity, may in some ca cs, be open to
doubt, but the testimony OF honest and enlight-
ened witnesses extending through II series of
years, and all to the same pun lport, is worthy of
credcnCc, admits OF no question. Upon such
testimony the reputation of Hostettcrs Stomach
Bitters AS an antidotc and cure iormany ailments
is based. During the twenty years that II has
been before the world, innumcraOlc preparations
intended 10 compete with it, have gone up like
rockets, and come down the CXtnguishod sticks.
Meanwhile the progress of that incompatible
tonic has been swift and steady-always upward
and onward like the eagles flight. Its introduc-
ton produced n revolution In therapeutics, and
II proved TO be one OF those salutary revolutions
that cannot go backwards. To-day Iostetter's
Bltters is one of the most popular remedies In
chrstendom, and commands larger sale than
any other medicinal preparation, domestic or
imported, on this side OF the Atlantic. As u cure
for dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous alice
tions, general debility, and as preventive of
epidemic fevers, 1t takes precedence of every
other remedy. This fact should teach the ambl-
tious country dealers who endeavor 10 foist their

futile their small attempts to cajOle the COM
