AN EDITORIAL
In the same paper seeks to prove that the as
sembly now sitting at Versailles is legally in
complete, on the ground that the election of
some of its members is vitiated by foreign Occu-
patton and pressure. The chamber is described
as narrow minded, exclusive and countryfed
The article continues fOn Paris deVolVeS the
duty Of compelling respect for the sovereignty
of the people. She must see to it that she is
not separated from the provinces, and that the
| provinces are not separated from each other.
She must be the capital of France. 1t is I'M
questionably her right to proceed with elections
| of a communal council. The central republican

measures to prepare for the establishment of
| communal council, and for the election of chief
officers of the national guard by the members. -

A paragraph also appears in the insurgent
| organ, Stigmatizing the resolutions adopted at
the meeting of the editors of the Paris press, and
published in several journals yesterday, as direct
| proYOcatlOn to disobedience of government de-
| crees, and an encroachment on the sovereignty
of the people. Warming is given that, while the
central republican committee intends to respect
the liberty Of the press, it is determined to have
the decision of the people respected, and the
| committee will permit no Indictment to disobe-
dience. A repetition of the offence will be
| severely punished.

ed. The government is hourly growing strong
er Backed by the assembly, supported by the
