Midnight came. The dark forms of
the men posted within the barricades
might be seen moving, noiselossly
about, or peering over the rugged
wall; the watch fires burned down
and smogldered in their ashes; we
were in momentary expectation Of
hearing the hoarse roar Of the a n
Of Montmartre sending forth
iron messengers to the Place de
rOpera or the Brousc. II was a
moment of intense suspense. The
General grewimpaticnt and excited.
Let them come, said he, and let us
have done with it. This cannot
last long. Commerce is suffering,
business is suspended, aud If order
is not soon restored so that things
may take their ordinary course,
they will turn against us. If they
do not attack us, we must attack
them. / wish they would come
But the night passed into the
small hours of the morning, and still
no attack. AT last M officer of the
staff, who had disguised himself as
a porter--it was easily done--and
gone out to see what was going on,
came back reporting that they had
given up their project for an attack,
and for this'uight at least the danger
was over. | took the opportunity
to ask them about the death Of Gen
erals Clement Thomas and Lecomte.
General Bergeret said that no one
regretted these unlawful; barbarous
acts more than himself; that it was
their intentions not to LET 1t be said
that this revolution was:charactcrlz-
cd by murder, pillage and disorder
but that, in his absence from Mont
Martre-he was then in direct com
handsome of the soldies of the
line had seized these men and shot
them without even the semblance of
o regular trial. In case he should
find the ring leaders, he would most
assurcdly have them shot, but in the
mean time he only wanted people to
have alittlo patience and forboaranco
THE men, he said, 'who are loudest
in dcuouncing these things as tho
fault Of the Republic are the very
men who ~applaudod the ~slaughtcrs
of the coup d'etat and who had not a
word to say tor the twelve hundred
victims who fell then, shot down in
the streets in cold blood. The mon
who murdered Thomas and Lecomto
will at least not bo rewarded with
offices aud honors.n
