President Thers and the Great Power.
of Europe.

President ThIers and the Great Powers
Of Europe.
The National Assembly of France has voted
on the question whether NJ Theirs term of
Office as Chief of the Executive of the French
nation should be prolonged, and the 'yaas"
carried it by an overwhelming majority. Five
hundred and twenty three as against thirty
four was surely vote of confidence. The
conservative journals are all satisfied; but
some of the minority have given indications
which encourage the belief that they may
resign.
Later news, which we publish this morning,
states that the great Powers of Europe have
officially congratulated NJ. Theirs on the pro-
longation of his term of office. Advices from
the departments show that the people. as a
rule, all over France, are satisfied with the
action of the Assembly in relation to the Chief
of the Executive.
A special despatch to the HERALD emphati-
cally states that the vote is, after all, not so
satisfactory as many are willing to believe.
The President is no. popular, but he is ne
cessity. In the peculiar circumstances in
which France is placed he is the only avail
able man for the office. DAumale was
sounded, but he positively and finally refused.
MacMahon and Changarnier were spoken of;
but it does not seem as if they had any ambi-
ton to undertake q task which is irksome and
thankless The name of NJ. Grevy, the Prcsi-
dent Of the Assembly, was also mentioned
but M C,r,, q. IL e.
and too much of republican to be accept
able to an Assembly which is at least
two-thirds monarchical. Not caring much
for the man, and not much alarmed by his re-
peated threats, the Assembly simply accepts
him as the one available man in the crisis.
In our judgment the Assembly has acted
wisely and well. 1t could not do anything
else without precipitat;ng revolution, which
it is anxious above all things to defer 1t is
not our opinion, however, that anything has
been gained in the republican interest by main
tanning M. Theirs in his office as Chief of the
State. What France is to be-under what
form of government it is to settle down,
whether republican or monarchical or
imperial-it is as difficult to say to-day
as it was when the Assembly held its
first session at Versailles. 1t is not posi-
bic, however, for the present anomalous
state of things to last much longer. The As
sembly has, by its own vote, assumed constit-
uent rights. 1t must, after the approaching
recess, begin to manufacture a new constitu-
ton. Then the tug of war will be felt. Then.
the factions will be let loose, and Bonapartists
and Bourbons and republicans will reveal
their mettle. Meanwhile the republic practi-
cally exists, and this at the outset gives them
vantage ground.

Suggestion for Naturalists and tho

Weather Bureau.
That delicious fish, the pompeneau, which
the gourmands of New Orleans and the Gulf
coast delight in and feast upon, has appeared
on our coast and in our markets. This is the
first season, we believe, this fish has been
caught on our coast, at least in such numbers
as to be marketable, common as it is along the
Gulf of Mexico. The same remark would
have applied to Spanish mackerel few years
ago. This last named fish was a stranger, like
the pompeneau, except stray one occasion
ally on the shores of the Northern States, up
to recent period, though abundant now. The
question is. what brings these fish of the
warmer atitndes so near to us? Intelligent
old fishermen say it is the unusual proximity
fortfy their opinion, they call attention to
the fact of the peculiar Gulf Stream
weather, with southcasterly winds, which
we have had for some time past. Then,
again, sea captains who have sailed
along the Southern coast for long time re-
mark that the Gulf Stream is coming much
nearer the coast than formerly-that, in fact,
it almost invades the land at Cape Hatteras.
Here is an exceedingly interesting subject,
and one that may prove useful for both the
Weather Bureau and naturalists to investigate.
The recent appearance of Spanish mackerel
and the coming now of the pompeneau may
promote scientific knowledge. Who will enter
upon the investigation of this piscatory immi-
grafton TO our coast and the causes of il?

THE NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.

WILMINGTON. August s.
Indications seem more favorable to-day to
defeat the convention by very small major
ty. Republicans claim. the State. by 5000 to
$1,000 majority. while the Conservatives still
think the issue in doubt, with chances in their
favor. Ifthe vote should result in the calling
of the convention, the revised constitution Is
to be submitted to the people for ratification.
The mcin purpose of the proposed change is
understood to be to get rid of a swarm of
''township" officials, VINO are now maintained
at great expense, and who, with the recon-
structed system which created their offices,
are said to be unnecessary, and, in fact, mis-.
chieyous
