The French Republic

The defeat or the ffencn at Ae ManS seems to deprive Paris of almost it's last chance of succor. Nevertheless, the peo- pie of that city are suffering all the priva- ticns of seige. and those of the provinces are making superhuman efforts to recruit their beaten armies, all evidently bent on fighting to the last gasp. We can discover at present but slight chance of their suc- cess but to those who make such sacrii- ces as the French are TOW making. relief often comes from unexpected quarters.
 The disposition on the part of the Amer ican press to sheer at Gambetta, Trochu, and the Republic, is passing away. That the men who now control France have shown uncommon ability and energy is too obvious for further denial. They took the losing hand the Imperalists threw down in despair and have played it more success fully, thus far, than would have been con sidered possible three months since. What ever the result may be, the effort they are making to save their country from degra- dation and dismemberment is highly hon. orable to the men who dare in the face of monarchical Europe to proclaim themselves republicans. They have undertaken to meet more than half million soldiers with militia scarcely three months under arms, and they have successfully defended a city of over a million inhabitants for many months. That such soldiers have been able to win battles, that Paris has offered . determined resistance when all other great cities surrender at the first summons, is no small glory, if glory alone would serve France in her present predicament.
 The chief accusation now brought against the present government of France is that they are prOlonging hopeless resistance. That their chance of success is very small we readily admit, but that republic should fight as long as there is any chance is very characteristic. This very quality of steady determination has often brought success. When the great Napoleon caught Prussia in 1906. as Bismark has now caught France. tvo battles settled the question. What followed was rush into Berlin and gener. d demoralization. Imperialist Austria af ter Austerlitz, after Wagram and after Sad owa. Imperialist France after the taking of Paris in 1914, after Waterloo and after Sedan, were ready to surrender at discre- tion. Republics never know when they are beaten. The Dutchmen who wrested Holland from Phillip IT of Spain, the Ja. eobins of l793-4 who defeated nearly all monaschicalEurop combined, all won their decisive successes after reverses apparently as decisiye as the French Republicans ol l07O-1 have suffered Least of all can the American accuse the French republican of useless stubbornness. what strugRlel ever appeared more hopeless to foreigner thsn the opening years of the wars of 177s and of 1881 ? Yet among the papers mos inclined to vaunt American pluck and pat riOtism how many show any sympathy witl che patriots of France The men who fo
 many years have opposed despotism ., oourageously. and who are now 60 coura gsously opposing invasion. deserve the d miratiOn and sympathy of republican
 everywhere.

Mir. Motiey.

The correspondence between MT. Motley
 and MT. Fish regarding the formers re-
 moyal, throws light on the weakest point of our diplamatic and indeed of our whole
 administrative system. It makes it evident
 that MT. Motley owed his appointment not
 to the fact that he represented tue views of Secretary Fish or of the President. but
 to the fact that he was q friend of Mir. Charles Sumner. His views regarding the all important Alabama question were em- phatically those of the Massachusetts Sena. tor, not those of the Administration. Be- fore leaving this country he prepared a memorial which fully disclosed this radical disagreement of opinion. On he went, however. honestly intending, no doubt, to carry out a policy in which he did not be- lieve. Few agents could have satisfied their principals under such circumstances, and Mr. Motley is naturally too iDpulsive for diplomacy" He honestly tried to represent the pacific views of the Adminis- tration, but the fire that was in him would blaze up little, now and then, and the Gov ernment concluded to withdraw the ques- tion from his control altogether. Then when the difference between the President and Mir. Sumner broke out. Mr.. Motley s official head fell as a matter of course
 In the published correspondence we think Mir. Fish has the advantage over his less adroit opponent but the great fact re- mains that Mir. Motley was dismissed with the scantest courtesy, because the political interest he really represented was one the Administration felt no longer bound to re- gard. The chief fault lies, after all, in the fact that diplomatic appointments are given to persons, not because they represent in any sense the views of the Administration, but because some prominent politician or member of Congress demands their ap. pointmeut.

LITCHFIELD.

Willis Carter, an industrious and able bodied colored man, about g years of age, living with his wife and child in this viii lage, has been warned put of town by our selectmen. in accordance with . barbarous old statute in such case made and provi- dej, now happily fallen into disuse. We understand that Carter has never called on the town or ou individuals for assistance, that he is abundantly able to support him self and family, and that the statement that he is liable to become chargeable is totally false. That the risk to the -teva must be very small is evident from the fol- lowing facts: He is Tennessee freedman who came to this State on the disbanding of tue army in 1865. He married an in habitant of Torrington. and consequently, that town and not Litchfeld would be Ii able for the support of his wife and chil- dren, should they come to want (Rev. Stats 618. Sec. J. There can be no req sonable fear that he will himself become chargeable, and the action of the select men is plainly as unnecessary as it it is unusual. As the law stands, there is scarcely single one of our summer resi- dents who is not liable to be warned out of town by the selectmen, and the town swarms with foreigners, some of them ac. tually requiring assistance, who are liable to expulsion in the same way. Why this exception to the general rule? Is there . republican vote in question?
 At the meeting of the stockholders oi the Shepaug Valley R. R.. on Wednesday last. the old board of directors was re- elected adding MT. F. B. Hand. of Ban. tam.

n@. An important decision was made in the case of Gibbs vs. Gilead, tried in Hart. ford, last week.

Gibbs Igetsa verdict of S. 3s6-uncommonly little balm of Gilead at any rate; and, to make matters worse, the defendants having made an offer of judgment for $1o. recover costs.
