From France We have the intelligence
that the conclusion OF peace is now certain
that Thiers and Favre ana the Consultative
Commission have accepted the following
conditions: Ist. The cession Of Alsaee and
Metz, bat Beliort to be restored to France
2d. The payment of war indemnify of FIVE
milliards OF francs, lone thousand millions
of dollarsl. 8. A portion of French terri
tory with some fortified towns. like Sedan,
to remain in possession of the Germans I'M
til the conditions of the treaty are fulfilled.
4th. The German army to enter Paris on
Monday, and occupy the Champs Elyses.
9TH. Peace to be proclaimed when the
French Assembly ratisfes these conditions.
Bismarck might have enforced other
more obnoxious conditions than this cession
Of territory; but less than this the Ger
mans would not accede to, and France could
not well ask him to grant more. II any are
wronged in this forced restitution of proper
people who are transferred with the proper
ty, not France. The indemnity claim is
considered moderate, when con; rasted with
the great sacrifice which Germany has been
unnecessarily forced to maze. But she can
rest consented with the laurels she has won
in this contest.
So far as can be Judged from the news,
the French are submitting to the conditiOus
Offered, with better grace than was antici
pated There have been no violent demon
might have beep expected. But now
crisis is upon France, hardly less momen-
tous than the recent past The formation
of new Government corfronts her. Fac
tions exist which will have to be either re-
conciled or subdued, Upon the sue
cessful termination of this contest depends
the Immediate future peace of France. All
nations aGait the result with Mingled hopes
and fears.

Notes from Harrisbu,gh.

The return of taxables in Fulton county
having been transmitted, completes the list,
and the Legislature now has every data on
which to proceed with the apportienment OF
the State.
The people throughout the State have
been anxiously looking for a movement in
respect to the apportionment of the State.
Now that the necessary data is complete, 1t
is to be hoped that the matter will be
promptly proceeded with, and that the
work may be honestly and well done.
The petitions for the prohibition of the
sale of Intoxicating liquors which have come
into the Legislature, this winter, are over.
whelming and unprecedented in number and
signatures The Local Option Bill is urged
by at least hundred thousand petitioners,
whose memorials are now on file in both
Houses.
What the representatives of the people,
at Harrisburgh, will do in the premises, is
not as yet apparent. That intemperance is
on the increase. in many localities, is unde
niable, and that some preventive is neces-
sary all will agree. But, how can this much
desired reform be most effectually brought
dDOE'i Is q Question upon W llcn tHeie - ID
diversity of opinion. Moral suasion, and
the making Of dealers in intoxicating liquors
responsible for all damages and injuries sus-
tanned through its sale, would, perhaps, be
the best and most speedy remedy.
In the bill reported by MIR. Buckalew, to
the Senate, to authorize he election of del
egates to a Convention to amend the Con
stitution Of this State, provision occurs
that, after the Convention meets, any thirty
members of it may demand that any pro
vision Of the amended Constitution shall be
subElitted to a separate vote of the people,
and upon such demand being made such
provision of the Constitution shall be sep
arately submitted to the popular vote.
The Convention, according TO this bill, is
to consist of l40 members. 1t follows that.
if ! 10 members vote against submitting
particular proposition to the popular vote
and 80 for it, the 80 will prevail over the
10! Is not this running minority repre-
sentation into the ground? By what rule
of fairness can 80 men be made equal in
power to ll0. in republican government?
The great principle upon which republican
governments is founded is that the major
ity shall rule. According to M. BucEa-
LEWIS idea, this is all to be reversed, and
hencelorth the minority is to rule.

The National Election Laws.

Democracy is stirred to Its heart core,
(says Republican cotemporary,) by what
it calls, the famous bayonet election law.
The fact OF some provision being necessary
to preserTe the purity of the ballot box, is
so self-evident that it requires no argu-
ment. Without such provision, popu-
lar elections would be nothing but farce.
If the Democratic party had really and
truly any respect for the law or the Con-
stitution, it might be possible that such q
provision as was lately presented in Con-
gresS was not necessary. As it is, how
ever, nothing but the knowledge that
strong and determined power enforces the
rights of the people, viii prevent Democ-
racy getting into power through fraud and
violence. 1t will be seen, however, that
those opposed to such provisions, have no
arguments to support their reckless and
untruthful assertions They TAIL to point
out in any instance where an individual
has been wronged, or where he has been
prevented casting his vote, through the
operations of the law. All they do, and
all they can do, is to hurl epithet after ep-
tibet at the Republican party, without, in
single instance, attempting to prove that
the operation Of the Law will have an in
furious effect Their clamor over the
rights Of the people to cast their ballots,
uniuHuenced by Federal Interference, is the
most miserable kind OF trash. Who has
been interfered with? Is it not a known
fact that the Democratic party is to-day
responsible for the maa;Hg Ct such laws?
Just as responsible as cline Is for the
erection of places of punishment Had it
10; been for ba!ioa-b box stufing, fog fraud.
violence, intimidation and riot, by the De
mocracy at the polls, there never would
nave been any need Eor such law, and
none would have been enacted. Just as
soon as that party g;7es evidences of its
adherence to law and order, just that soen
will the law become dead letter.

Every effort on the part of Republican
members, says the Pittsburgh Gazette, to
bring the question of a Constitutional Con-
vention before the Senate, is defeated by
the Democrats. Mr. Whites motion to
make all bills for Constitutional Reform
Convention the special order for Thursday
next, was defeated by the Democracy.
From the hour that Democracy has had
control of the Senate, it has proven itself
utterly unworthy the confidence of the peo-
pie. 1t has trampled on all law and order,
violated plain rules, and taken ground ut
terly impossible to justify, either in hon
esty or sound sense, with the public Not
withstanding its most earnest promises of
reform it evades the question whenever it
is brought up, and defeats every attempt
to secure a fair discussion on the question
of Constitutional Convention Holding
the power in the SeEate, gained through a
most outragcously fraudulent election, COW
cred over By equally gross frauds by the
Democratic Senators, it is every Cay prov
ing TO what underhand means it can resort
tr when It has the power. But let it be
kept before the people; Democracy IS in
favor of special legislation as well as cor
ruption and fraud, and is doing its best to
prevent having the Constitution reformed.
The hollowness of its parry cry thus be-
comes exposed, and it can be more thor
oughly realized how unreliable are oil It's
protestations and promises Wallace, as
speaker, made bitter vindictive, partizan
and threatening speech when he took his
office in the Senate. After abusing the
Republican party, he Immediately set aside
all law in the Lyndail- Dechert case Having
made up windy speech over what have
been the rules of the Senate, and declared
what should not be offered as bills, he

TIE ARKANSAS TRoUBLE-A curious
state of affairs exists in Arkansas. which
may lead in tbs end 10 serious difficulties
in that State. The whole trouble arises

ment of Governor Clayton was carried by a
vote Of AZ to 3S. OF these ~, seys the

Inc other twelve were Brooks and John
son parlsans, Thirty eight Republicans
voted against impeachment, and had it not
been Tor the thirty Democrats, Gov Clay

The Philadelphia Press says: 1t would
seem that no legal decision is necessary to
demonstrate the old maxim that the dancers
must pay for the music. But such is litter
ally the case in conservative Kentucky.
Louisville is one of those cities" which for
years has lived in luxury and ease at tie
expense of her slave population They have
sweat: she has luxuriated They have piped.
she has danced, but paid them not. 1t il,
then, no more than fair that the debt be IL
quidated now Judge Ballard has just de
cided that the colored soldiers in that city
are entitled to the same bounty as the whites
who enlisted at the same time, even though
slaves AT the time of the enlistment. As this
race was by far the most patriotic one in the
city during the war, the bill will be heavy
one, but not near so severe burden to her
us the lie of rsenial toll and hardship she
imposed on them. OF course, they deserve
the bounty for their heroism in the rebel
hon, but they deserved it s thousand times
before.
