The ruria Insrrgnnis.

mo further atrocities are reported from the
insurgent ''reds' In occupation Of Paris. The
shopkeepers, however, have no faith in them,
for the shops remain closed, and oil business
and labor, except the labor upon the barri-
cades, continues suspended. The benevolent
usurpers Of the city administration have issued
decree interdicting, till otherwise ordered,
to time with their rent. The parties RESPONSE
bic for this decree find it, no doubt, very con-
venient. They will, If tolerated much longer,
proclaim all rents for lodgings aristocratic Inn
positions upon the people, incompatible with
the republic Of ''liherty, equality and frater-
nity." This is unquestionably fundamental
doctrine of'Couut Bismarcks gentlemen of
the pavement" who now rule the capital Of
modern civilization, which appears, also, to be
the capital Of modern barbarism. As the
capital Of France, Paris, they contend, is the
only place for the National Assembly. They
want it In Paris, and they demand it but u.
Thiers is too old fox to be caught in such
trap. Not until these insolent ruflans ere dis
armed and driven back into their holes
will any government of law and order
be " safe in Paris. There is surely
no safety for the National Assembly in
the city while the officers Of the police are in
prison and the whole force is virtually dis
banded and an armed mob from the slums and
socialistic back streets are the masters at the
Hotel dc Vile and the Tuileries.
These facetious patriots betray themselves in
their declaration that while they will respect
the treaty stipulatous with Germany /! is bu.
Just chat the largest portion Of the indemnity
should fall upon the authors Of the war. The
''reds' mean by this that they intend TO have
their revenge upon the Imperlalists, the pro-
periy holders of Paris and France who sup
ported the Napolconic government, whereby
these sans culoHes for twenty years at the
bayonet's point were kept upon their good be-
havior. OF course all these things are operat-
ing in Paris and throughout France TO produce
reaction among the property holders and men of
capital and active business pursuits in favor Of
the empire and the strong mailed hand Of
Napoleon. No doubt the cy-Emparor and
Empress, in their secure retreat at Chiseihurst,
England, in discussing these anarchical scenes
in Paris, find in them not only strong viudica-
ton Of the empire before the world, but
strong hope Of an early restoration. This i'm
preston widely prevails, and all the circum-
stances Of the situation seem to justify it.
Still we apprehend that the fearful losses
and crushing humliatio1s to France result
in. from the disasters Of Weissenburg,
Woerth, Mars-la-Tour, Gravelotte, Beau
mont, Sedan, Strasbourg and Metz have left
an impression too deep upon the people Of
France to reconcile them to the restoration Of
the Bonapartes. We know not, however,
what France may be driven 10 as choice of
evils to escape tire horrors of anarchy. We
can only hope that every day gained by II.
Thiers against the Plris ''rcds" is q gaia in
behalf Of law and Order, and a strong and
stable government acceptable to the great
body Of the French people.
