add TO the uncertainty, and consequently to
the difficulty, Of the situation. Then, again,
the House of Orleans has its following, and,
as all the world knows, that following repre-
sents the better portion of the French middle
class-the men who do business, who sustain
trade, who own property. If the imperlalists
have places to retain, they have property to
secure and places to win. The republicans
are unquestionably powerful; but they are
not united; and, while making certain honor
able exceptions, it must be admitted that, 80
far as we know them, they are not the repre-
sentatives of law and order, but the repre-
sentatives of anarchy and confusion. As
rule the imperialsts and the monarchists
have something to lose; but the repub-
licans, with similar qualification,
have everything to win. We do not say-we
cannot say-which party will win. We only
say that the ple6tscite is to fix the future gov
ernment of France, and that the ple6iscite may
prove fruitful of trouble not to France only,
but to Europe. 1t is difficult to believe In the
possibility Of the restoration of Napoleon.
Difficult, however, as it is, 1t has to be admitted
that as yet no monarchical rival has sufficiently
pronounced himself. The Count de Paris
may be wisely waiting; but up to the present
moment the Count de Paris is little more than
myth. Much will depend on the course
which may be pursued by NJ. Theirs. In our
judgment the restoration Of the Bonapartes,
in the person Of the Emperor or that of his
son, or the restoration of the House of Or
leans, means peace; but republic means q
European convulsion. As we have said, the
peace of the Continent rests with France.
Most thoughtful men do regret that France,
which is so truly the keystone nation of
Europe, should be 80 unequal to her constantly
recurring opportunities. She was the first of
the European nations to make an end of the
privileged classes. But of all the European
nations she has reaped the least fruit from
her own experiment. Since 1889 France has
been three times republic, twice an empire,
and she has tried monarchy in two differ ent
forms. Each change has seriously affected
Europe. Once again France is to decide
upon her own form of governments; and once
teeth, look on anxiously, fearfully. A French
republic definitely pronounced upon would
fire the two Southern peninsulas, might dis
solve Austria, might rouse the German demo-
Gratis and give new shape to German union.
In such case Napoleon might have many
fresh companions in tribulation. On the
result Of the coming pl66iscite in France the
interests of peace and the interests of
democracy are largely dependent. Europe
does not seem to have gained much by the
Franco German war.

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. latest
returns from Concord indicate that there has
been no choice of Governor of New Hampshire
by the people, although Mr. Weston, the
democratic candidate, runs ahead of the repub-
lican candidate Nevertheless, it is pretty GER
tain that the next Governor of the State will
be a democrat, as there is q democratic
majority in both branches of the Legislature
the Senate containing FIVE democrats and four
republicans, with three vacancies, and the
House one hundred and sixty-four democrats,
one hundred and sixty-two republicans and
four labor reformers, with three ,tow"e - i--.
/. . --vvvr VIII probably elect demo-
Gratis, and as the labor reformers are tolerably
sure to vote against any republican candidate
the prospect is that, after all, Mr.. Weston will
become Governor Of New Hampshire. II is
almost unnecessary to state that the failure 10
elect by the people throws the election into
the Legislature.

FRANCE FoREcAsTINa HER AyENGE.
MENrs. The French nation has commenced
10 cast about for an object of avengement for
the disasters which its people have sustained
in the war with Prussia. The hereditary feeling
Of France, combined with the smartipp sense
of present humiliation, causes the French
to direct their eyes to England. In their
rough radicalism they cannot understand the
Tefinements and nieeties of an elegant tradi-
fonary diplomacy. The French newspapers
are consequently crying out against England.
The writer's allege that ''when the sword of
France is unsheathed again its aim will not be
so distant as Turkey" indicating that there
was no need of a European Congress on the
Eastern question in London. Poor France
che thought, most unwisely, that the entente
ana glories of Inkermann, the Malakoff and tb |
hedan had atoned for Corunna and the Douo |
ana Talavers, and thus compensated .or

The Joint High COmmission-Reverdy john
son Completely Eclipsed.

1t was said that Mr.. Reverdy johnson, in
the negotiation of his unacceptable and wholly
unsatisfactory Alabama Claims Treaty, was
demoralized by English roast beef and plum
pudding-that the designing John Bull dined
him and wined him till he was brought
to believe that the moon is made
of green cheese. What, then, shall we say
of the Joint High Commission at Washington,
in which English roast beef and plum pudding
and dining and wining are the order of the
day from Monday evening till Saturday
night? 1t may be said that the English roast
beef and plum pudding is neutralized by
Chesapeake oysters, Potomac shad and
Yankee Goldfish, and that London brown stout
is no match for Bourbon whiskey; but we
have our doubts upon these points. We have
our misgivings Of the stufing process adopted
by Earl de Grey and Ripon with this Joint
High Commission. 1t is the process with the
pate de foie gras which is applied to the geese
in producing this choice pate-the fattening
process. 1t is the process by which the
doomed turkey is prepared for Thanksgiving
Day. Well, there may be wisdom in fattening
the Joint High Commission before they 90
seriously to the heavy work before them, be-
cause your fat man is an amiable man, and a
man who will listen to reason, and peace
man. AT all events, let us hope that the
labors of the Joint High Commission will
result in treaty of peace, and in thanks
giving, dining and wining on both sides of
the water.

THE UNSETTLED CONDITION OF PARIS
The news from Paris is not such as encour-
ages the hope Of speedy return to peaceful
pursuits. The city is disturbed and the dam
gerous classes are ripe for violence. Another
infammatory journal, the Ami du Peuple, has
been seized and suppressed for uttering SEN
tments tending to occasion breach of the
peace in the most aggravated form. The
gatherings which take place each year in
mid-Lent will, it is feared, be taken advanta ge
of by evil-minded people to create disturb
ances which may lead to serious results. It
is true that General vinoy has prohibited the
procession Of masqueraders in the streets to
day but it will be difficult matter for him
to prevent the congregation of crowds and
the perpetration of deeds of violence. Un-
fortunately, others than those who cause these
riots are oftentmes the victims of the excesses
Of the wretches who occasion them. Hoping
for the best for Paris we fear the worst, owing
to the unsettled state Of affairs existing there
at present. One of the many evils resulting
from the late war is this exhibition Of bad
blood on the part of the roughs of Paris, who
have nothing to lose by the riotous scenes
which their acts may occasion in the streets
Of Paris.

reI-Xoosaer Republican Breach.
The introduction of two bills for the sup
preston of the Ku Klux was the only matter
of general interest Brought forward in the
Senate yesterday. One Of the bills was
offered by Mr.. Wilson and the other by Mr..
Sherman, and both favor stringent measures
for the annihilation Of the rough riders in the
South. No discussion ensued upon either
bill, one objection being enough to send them
over for one day.
In the House the great sensation was the
encounter between Butler and Dawes and
Blaine, and, in fact, all the fifty-eigh republi-
cans whom Butler had denounced in his mani
festo. Mr.. Dawes first called on Butler for
definition Of the term "lrick," as applied to
these fifty-eigh republicans but the slippery
member from Essex managed to evade an an
swer. Speaker Blaine, however, vacated his
seat and, coming on the floor, made scorch-
ing onslaught against Butler, in which he stated
that he had shown the travelling committee
resolution of Wednesday to Butler, and that
gentleman, so far from objectng to it, sug-
gested On amendment that the expenses Of
such committee be paid out of the contingent
fund of the House. This Butler fatty denied,
claiming to have said that he would have
nothing to do with it; but Blaine stuck to his
assertion. On this question of veracity
between Blaine and Butler the country must
judge, however, and 1t is an unfortunate cir
cumstance for Butler in this connection that
he has never heretofore cultivated substan-
tial reputation for veracity. The Speaker took
further occasion to defend his course in
coming on the floor and maneuvring reso-
luton through the House, and succeeded In
getting off one of the most merciless invectives
that the old halls have heard for many day.
The end of the whole matter was that Messrs.
Butler, Maynard, Kelley, Coburn and Shella-
barger were excused from serving on the COM
mittee, and the House adjourned.
There is said to be great excitement pre-
vailing among the republicans in consequence
Of this new and unexpected break among the
party men in the House. 1t appears to have
been as causeless as it is unfortunate. Gen
eral Butler was treated with too much con-
tempt by the members who engineered the
Peters resolution. They should have deferred
more to the caucus resolutions. That many
of the influential republicans who were ap-
pointed on the committee feel little affection
for the substitute the declension of five Of
them plainly shows. But there was no cause
for party quarrel so fierce and disgraoeful
that Sunset Cox requested the combatants to
retire to their committee room and fight 1t out
where the democrats could not hear them. It
is a very unsatisfactory method Of ''closing up
the ranks" after the New Hampshire defeat.

Dr. VAN HoosEN, OF ALBANY, who killed
his wife in ft Of delirium tremens, has been
sent to the Lunatic Asylum. The Grand Jury
Failed to indict him for the offence, and the
court put him out of the way of doing further
harm by sending him at once to the asylum.
This disposition of the case is apparently the
only proper one, and 1t would doubtless
answer well in all murder cases where the
plea Of insanity is successful

DoINc.s OF THE LEGISLATURE The proceed.
ings ia our Legislature are becoming rather
interesting. The hitch in the new Tax Levy
bill creates some surprise, considering the help
the measure received from outside parties.
That it will be passed finally there seems to
be no doubt. The Pneumatic Railroad undex-
ground scheme has received ON unexpected
impulse, indicating that the workers behind
the scenes have some other object in view
than in carrying out the yiaduct suggestion.

THE ORLEANS DYNASTY AND THE FRENoH
THRoNE.-A despatch from London states that
'sthe Count Of Paris renounoes any intention,
on his part, to compete With the other princes
of the royal house of France for the throne"
This renunciation on his part is very impor-
tant act, as he is the legitimate heir Of the
Orleans dynasty, and If be refuses to compete.
for the throne he leave. it open to competition
among all the princes. 1t is probable, there
fore, that if France should decide upon the
restoration of the monarchy there will be an
interesting scrub race for the crown. Con-
sdering how very uncertain in these days is'
the tenure of oaice Of French monarch, It
must be admitted that the Count of Paris bas
displayed soand judgment in renouncing his

Sir John A. Macdonald, of the Joint High
