Louis Napoleon. and why to-day 1t hesitates,
no, knowing the master. 1t Is no longer pos
sible to deny that the 1'lf6iscites of Louis
Napoleon were what they seemed to be--gen-
nine victories. He understood them; he did
not tax them overmuch he contrived TO
make them prosperous; and, in return, they
heartily responded to his every call. 1t
is as little possible to deny that the
vote which made the present National Assem-
bly, was an honest, hearty, national vote. The
peasantry were sick of war; they were
ashamed Of the doings Of the government Of
toe National Defence; they cast their votes
accordingly, and a moderate yet liberal gov
eminent was the result. II Is dstrust of the
peasantry who control the national vote which
has fired the had passions Of the 'sreds" aud
made all this trouble.
How the trouble is to end it is difficult to
say. The night is dark and the way seems to
be long. For the present all is chaos and wild
confusion. If NJ. Theirs cannot accomplish
his purpose and keep the Assembly out of
Paris the re-establshment of monarchy Is
certain. II the present government can put
down the insurgents and compel the allegiance
of the whole French population we have
hopes of a republic. But French republic,
with Paris for centre, is, in our judgment, an
impossibility. However the present fierce
commissions in France may issue this one
thing at least Is certain-Communism has
killed itself. A European republic on the
nlotfarYn of Cammuniam Ia a Ohi,nprn We
cannot ye! see the United States of Europe.

The MASONIC RECEPTION of the Grand
Master OF England, the Earl dc Grey and
Ripon, In Washington, on April 10, was
among the most portentons entertainments
ever presented In the United States to a
Master brother of the fraternity from abroad.
II Is the wish Of the brethren Of this country,
as It was that Of the immortal Washington,
that the Masonic brethren Of America should
unite with their brethren in all parts Of the
world In tho perpctuation Of peace and good
will.

Propesrd Tax Reducuons-ylr. bherman's
Resolution.


Mr.. Sherman, Chairman on Finance, has
introduced resolution in the Senate instruct
Ing his committee during the recess carefully
to examine the existing system Of national
taxation, in view of such bill as will sim
plify and reduce both the internal taxes and
the duties on imported goods now in force,
and in such manner that the aggregate of such
taxes shall not exceed the sums required to
execute the laws relating to the public debt,
and the current expenditures of the govern
ment administered with the strictest economy,
so that the taxes may be distributed TO impose
the least possible burden upon the people.
This Is something in the right direction. II
we are not mistaken the proposition means
that the leading republicans Of Congress and
the President have come to an agreement that
something must be done at tho next session to
relieve the taxed people of their present heavy
burden Of internal assessments and tariff
duties, and 80 spike the guns OF the democracy
and of the so-cailed republican revenue refor-
mers" engineering for third party and Presi-
Dental scrub race. We have over and over
again admonished Mr.. Secretary Boutwell, and
the President that while it is mighty fine
thing to be paying off the national debt at the
rate of eight. ten or twelve millions month,
it is heavy draft upon the pockets of the
people for u debt paying policy which, fine as
it may be, is not only unnecessary but un-
just; that tho present generation of our
people, after all their sacrifices, losses, trials
and taxes in the war for tue Union and in the
work of maintaining the national credit and
currency, are entitled to relief, and that this
relief may wisely be enlarged to general re-
duction of our present taxes, internal and ex-
ternal, to the extent Of fifty, seventy-fve or
even hundred millions of dollars.
We would here repeat these suggestions to
Mr.. Sherman, in view of the bill of reductions
| which he proposes to frame during the ap-
preaching recess Of Congress, in order to have
ii in readiness for consideration at the begin
ming of the next session. We hope, too, that
the President in his next annual Message Tin
December) to Congress will have some prac-
teal recommendations to make in favor of
relieving the people at once and Of frightening
the term aimed at by Secretary Boutwell, for
the redemption Of the debt. His policy Of
rushing it through is grand idea in theory,
but in practice it Is needless, foolish, oppres-
| sve, unpopular and unjust.

The SPANISH AMERICAN WAn--The war
that has existed for years past In
name only between Spain and several of the
Spanish American republics, was yesterday
virtually ended, by an armistice being signed
at Washington. whereby hostilities cannot be
renewed unless upon notice of three years.
This, OF course, means peace. There has
been no collision OF the opposing forces since
the rcpulse Of the Spanish feet before Callao,
hut no change In the warlikc situation has
occurred since that event until now. Under
the arniis!ice trade Is to be resumed at once
between tho bcliigerenis as well as neutrals,
and negotiations for peace will begin nextweek.
Thus will end . war begun upon a very slight,
If any, provocation--on that was without any
result Of importance. II cost a vast amount
Of money, and neither Spain nor the republics

'DEIIvER Us FROM TEMPTATION. This
prayer should now be repeated all the
time, day and night By the weak-backed re-
publicans Of the Assembly at Albany. One,
two or three Of them may be wanted regard
less of expense. Can they all resist the pre-
MUM which for q single vote upon big job
may be offeredf Doubtful, very doubtful; or
If there is any certainty upon the subject il is
in favor Of the jobbers.

PUGILIsTIc ARGUMENTS in many cases carry
great weight with them, but the experiment Of
Mr.. Irving as legislator may be pronounced
failure. This settles great question on the
right principle, for otherwise a professor Of
"the manly art" in the Assembly might carry
any question by the simple process Of pound
ing conviction into tho heads Of refractory
members

Our Special Letters from Paris.

The European mail at this port supplied the
special letters from the HERALD correspond
ents in Paris which appear in our columns to-
day. The communications are of quite an
exciting character. They are enlghtening
witha They enable our readers to see the
French capital as it is ruled by the Commune.
The American people can travel in idea from
behind the city barrcades to the interior of
the Place Vendome, and behold the fred"
democracy writhng and struggling in its des-
perate, yet blind, effort to substitute the rule
of brute force for the sway Of constituted gov
ernment-the latter science which they do
not comprehend, either 10 lis principle or mode
Of application, and the power Of which they are,
consequently, unwilling to admit. Ono of our
writer's dined, Ivy special invitation, with the
commander in the plac, Vendome. His de-
scription of his reception, of the surroundings,
tho visitors and the official routine, goes far to
show an extemporized democracy exercising
power prematurely, and, as it appears to us, en-
deavoring to parody some Of the scenes of the
first French revolution--n feeble effort, GER
tainly, but perhaps with just as much trucu-
lence of intent as that which moved the origi-
nal actors. Idle, and consequently impover-
ished workmen, were there in large numbers.
They were unwashed, ill.clad, suspicious, full
of self constituted Importance, contradictory
and murmuring. They were without any
definite object They bad attained a sumaauaa
5onuna, 10 an absolute idleness from labor but
they did not know exactly what to do or
what to demand next Hunger and the want
Of tobacco had almost precipitated q reaction
airy revolutionary crisis, and it required all
| the tact of the communicable host OF our
correspondent-to avert the occurrence Of q
new political crisis. The hard listed artis..1, rs
Of Paris hayc attempted tho 'job"
Of government. They are out of their
sphere and unable to grasp Paris in its social
CONFUSION with the strong hand, as did Theirs,
| Favre, Trochu, Cbanzy and others who have
been in power since Bonaparte. These men
want to force an equalization Of classes to
| anticipate general democracy. They wor-

it is life In their disappointment they become

with the halter, and ~ to the gloom Of the
barbados as to q congenial tefnge from tho
haunting of conscience and the glance of the
eye of Order. Suffice 1t to say that Paris re-
NAMED chaotic--chaotic as Paris only can be
at the moment when our special letters were
mailed. Monarchism was rejoicing over de-
mocracy in its riot, but the serious question
still remains, Is European democracy riotons
and murderous as an essential, or does the
democracy Of Europe merely reflect the conse-
qucnces of its education under the mon
arches? $50.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.


Yesterday morning, at ten minutes past seven
O clock shop time, while the work was pro-
ceeding as usual in the rolling mill of the Knox
Vile Iron Company, the large fy-wheel sud-
denly gave way and the heavy cast-iron perrin
eter, section after section, crashed through the
strong timbers which supported the roof break
ing them like reeds, aud the greater part of
the building fell a mass of ruins
Most of the hands who were working at ther
various stations had barely time to escape in the
short interval between the bursting of the wheel
and the falling of the timbers A few who did
not get out, as if by q miracle, had the good
fortune to escape instant death.
Frank billiards, colored workman, was
struck on the back by piece of timber, but his
physician says his injuries are not serious. The
air was filled with a cloud of dust, and in the
darkness and terror of the moment it was un-
certain how many had escaped The engineer
VIM. Nickle remained heroically at his post,
and crawling out from the rubbish stopped his
engine and blew the fire-alarm whistle 1t was
at once discovered that the debris had taken fire
from the rcd hot iron lying on the floor of the
mill. The hose was promptly laid from the statiOn-
ary fire engine few yards distant across the
creek, but before it was ready for action the fire
had been eXtinguished by the hands with water
from buckets.
The hy-wheel was very large, being about
twenty-five feet in diameter. The spokes were
of wood, and the rim of heavy cast iron, each
section weighing from fifteen hundred to two
thousand pounds. 1t was making about fifty
revolutions per minute, the engine running only
for "a pudding heat"
The accident could not have happened at
more fortunate time, as during the day and eve
ming more hands, are at work and numerous
spectators are sometimes present At such a
tim the loss of life migh have been fearful.
The actual damage Gone is much lighter than
was at first supposed, as the company were
aboat to put in new work for all that was de-
stroyed by the accident, A new wheel had
been made and will bo put in at once. We are
assured that there will be no serious delay, and
work will be resumed in very few days.
The building will be replaced with new one
every way larger and better adapted to accom-
mOdate the growing business of the company.

BEST WAY TO KEEP POTAToEs.--Pota-
toes should always be kept in the dark.
Intelligent rural housekeepers do not need
to be told this but many others living in
towns and cities should know that potatoes
exposed to the light for day only, have
their flavor injured; and the longer they
are exposed the worse they are. Never
use greenish potato, as such tubers are
unfit for human food. When Irish pota-
toes are removed from the cellar, they
should always be spread out thin on the
floor, in a cool building. If the apartment
is not dark, the potatoes should be covered
with boards, to exclude the light. 1t is q
good practice also to. cover them with saw
dust. The injury done to potatoes by the
light, after they are carried from dark
cellar. is the chief reason why there is
such universal complaint of poor potatoes
in the spring and during the forepart of
summer. Every sort of vegetables that
grow in the dark-beneath the surface of
the ground-should he stored in bark
apartment, while those vegetables and
fruits which mature in the light will ripen
more satisfactorily, and develop more
lucious flavor, if they are stored in a light
room.

in the public mind on the subject of edu
cation calls for suitable efforts on our part
to meet the demands of the hour teach
ers are so much in demand that competent
ones cannot be had the expense of travel
ing is bar to much help from the North,
and more than this, we feel that it is of the
first importance for us to arouse an interest
among our people for the vocation of the
teacher, ami to qualify our own children
for it.
We, therefore, call public meeting to
consider what steps may be taken to es-
tablish a normal institute for the training
of teachers and the accommodation of such
young men of our own race in these coun-
ties as wish these advantages, and to pro-
vide means for cheap and comfortable
