A GOVERNMENT EXPLANATION.

The following has been officially pub
lished in Paris: "ln a few DAYS the gov
ernment can explain its conduct. 1t was
only after the most labOrious efforts that the
conditions relative to the National Guards
stipulated by the convention could be OBJ
tained. NJ. Favre has not ceased for a sin
gle day his demands in favor of those by
whom he is accused of abandoning to the
possibility of being driven from their
homes"

RADICAL PAPERS.

The first number of Henri Rochefort's
new journal. the Mot d. Ordre, aHpeared
yesterday. 1t contains much revolutionary
rant about vengance. Felix Pyat's new
paper also made its appearance to-day. 1t
is the successor of the Combat, recently sup
pressed by General VinOy, and has the same
crew and coors aboard. 1t declares the
empire was invasion and the republic de-
liverance; the empire was capitulation, the
republic resistance. The republic will sur
vive the armistic, save France and avenge
Paris.

CANDIDATES FROM THE sLUMs.

Nearly all the Paris candidates for the
National Assembly have been taken from
the slums of Belleville aud St. Antoine
Napoleon Gaillard, a well known red repub-
lican. declared at a meeting held last night
that the present government was composed
of twelve bandits who had sold Paris for
gold. He denied the Prusian victories and
demanded that Paris vote in favor of con-
tinuance of the war. He was loudly ap-
plau1ed.
Some of the candidates are well known
men, violent socialists and revolutionists-
Among the names of those nominated for
the National Assembly bv the Republican
sociatiOn and Central Republican Union,
all ultra radical societies, are the following:
Louis Blanc, Victor Hugo, Ledru Rollin.
Felix Pyat, Henry RochefOrt and NJ. Bris-

defHnct newspaper, lie Combat
WAR BETWEEN GERMAN AND FRENCH WOMEN
More than ten thousand persons proceed
ed yesterday to the top of Antin TO gaze on
the Prussians encamped below. A consid-
cradle portion of the inhabitants of La Viii
lette are Germans, and some of the women
called upon their cOuntrymen to fire on the
French. They were Immediately arrested
by the National Guard and conducted to
prison. Another German woman was ar
rested for shouting Down with the French =
and was carried along the streets shrieking,
followed by crowd brandishing revolvers.
The danger of difficulties between the Ger
man and French women is much greater
than between the men.

A RuNAwAY.-The most exciting event
of to-day was q runaway, the most success
full one of the season, which occurred at
about one o'clock. Mr.. E. Peterson, of
Swedonia, left his team standing unhitched
in front of Kellerstrsss & Yogele's grocery,
while he was making some purchases. The
horses finding themselves at liberty, started
for Swedonla, via Illinois street. They stop
ped a few seconds at the corner Of Washing
ton street, TO exchange clvili,es with the
lamp post il front OF the City Hotel. The
lamp post was rather stiff in. its conduct, and
as consequence, was snapped of rath,r short
| Depositing the contents of the wagon in the
street, and leaving behind them a demol-
ished wagon box, two had wheels, broken
reach pole, and a numb OF excited cit

for the peaceful town Of Swedonia. They
we're destined, however, to be disappointed,

four inches; SO great was the force with
which it struck, that the wire, attached to
the upper part of the pole Was snapped,

Of the horses slipped on the stone walk

dashed in among the farm wagons on the
spen lot opposite the National Bank, and
alarmed team, causing them to tip over
the wagon to which they were hltohed.
Strange to relate, hardly a mark or scratch
could be found on either horse. The owner
took his horses and attempted to fad his
wagon. Ee sadly viewed the wreck at Ben

PIGNICs.-Se ated in one of GrshRns best

visited in turn, the various picnics Of yester-
day. The young ladies of Misses Rooinson's

contents of numerous baskets, divided the
attention Of those present, and Frank Eek.
hRrdt, and two other musicians furnished the
music for those disposed to dance. They al
seemed to be enjoying themselves hugely,
and undoubtedly had fine time.
The pupils of the High School enjoyed
themselves beneath the ,hsdow Of the
school house, and in croqust, games, and
other Gmusements, seemed to find a recon
pense for their exertions.
The scholars of the German English
school, about hundred in mum Der. marched
through the streets, escorted by Biehi 5
band, TO he upper part of the city, where
they took the excursion car to the new Mo.
line Park, on the Boulevard Arrived on
the grounds, the little folks enjoyed them
selves il various ways. About half pas,
three the dancing commented, and
although the day was warm.
many participated, The attendance was
large, and when We left the scene, the eu-
joyment was at its height. The managers
of this affair were well chosen, and succeed
ed in making q very sacce ssfal affair Of it.
The new park i5 on the north side OF the
Boulevard in the rear of Mr. Brooks resi-
dence, Rad is well and comfortably fitted up
with seats, booths, music stand and dancing
floor, and is delightful place for a picnic
by reason of its accessibility, good shade
