FRENcHY.--Here Is bit of Freach
philosophy. 1t is set down to the
credit of Alexander Dumas, the
younger:
Walk two hours every day. Sleep
seven hours every night. Get up as
soon as you wake. Speak only when
necessary, and say only half what
you think. Don't write anything
but you can sign. Think neither too
much nor too little Of money; it is a
good servant but bad master. Be-
ware of women before you aretwenty
Avoid them after you are forty.

There Is about one million dollars

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION Re-
publican General Committee of this State de-
termined yesterday to hold their State Con-
vention at Syracuse on the 9th of September.
Now we suppose the war Of factions will begin
in earnest and the Fenton men and Conkling
fray A perfect lovefeast may be anticipated,
aud that nobody may be disappointed it is i'm
portant that at least two sets Of delegates
shall be sent from this city. But we have no
doubt that Mr.. Murphy and Mr. Greeley will
attend to the matter.

jump, and popular among the Southern blacks
on the ''new departure"
In dscardng the Presidential ticket for 1872
thus suggested where are the democrats to 60
to find ticket which will offer them the small
est hopes of success? We cannot tell, nor do
we believe they can tell Under the shadows
Of recent events, though they rather add to
than detract from the genuine popularity of
Governor Hoffman, he is not the man for the
democracy in 1872. Nor do we think that
Pendleton or Hendricks or Packer or Parker
or English or Andy johnson, or any one of the
regular democratic catalogue of politicians
holding over from the Convention of 1868,
carries guns enough to resist the heavy artil-
lery of General Grant to any purpose in the
coming campaign. The recent elections In
North Carolina, Kentucky and Montana, like
those of the spring in Connecticut and Rhode
Island, show that Notwithstanding all the
rebellious radical malcontents, such as Sum-
ner, Trumbull, Logan, Gratz Brown, Carl
Schurz, Fenton and Greeley, and in spite of
&ll the demoralizing cliquep and factions Of
the republican camp, such as those of New
York, Philadelphia and New Orleans, General
Grant has lost nothing of the good will of the
masses of his party, but has strengthened HIM
self in their confidence through tho generally
acceptable policy of his careful and prudent
administration.
1t needs no argument, however, to show
that the democracy have an uphill fight before
them in the contest for the Presidential success
sion, and that with their ''new departure"
new man, fairly and fully representing it, and
completely detaching the party from its dead
men and dead issues is the first essential to
the party in view even Of hopeful advance to
ultimate victory. Chief Justice Chase meets
these acquisitions, and the democrats must
prepare for some such representative man on
the living issues of the day in 1872, or the
occupation of the party, like Othellos, may be
gone. We say this because we cannot resist
the impression, from all the signs of the times,
that in the year 1876 the political parties and
issues of the present day will, in all probable
ity, be overwhelmed in a new revolutionary
agitation, the most radical and sweeping in its
consequences since the world shaking French
upheaval beginning in 1889.

Gathering Of Politicians mt Niagara.

1t appears from our Niagara correspond
encs published to-day that many of the re-
publican leaders of New York, as well as
prominent politicians of other States and of
both parties, are gathering together within
sound of the mighty cataract This famous
spot has attained historical reputation for
unorganized political assemblages, where pub
lie men compare notes and develop schemes
for the future. The great trouble with the
republicans of this State appears to be just
now the rivalry of the Fenton and Conkling
factions, aud that the only difficulty in the
way of reconciliation is the division of the
spoils of Office, present and prospective. The
leaders of the party think there is good
prospect for them Of defeating the demo-
Gratis in this State, aud, consequently,
are endeavoring to prepare the way for
harmony and vigorous action. Of course
the administration at Washington ear
nestly desires the harmony of the party.
The Fenton faction express the same desire,
and seem to be ready for overtures from the
Conkling party to that end. The Fentonites
want q reasonable proportion of the Offices in
the Custom House and elsewhere, and their
chief to be placed on the ticket for Vice Presi-
dent in the Presidential contest next year.
The great obstacle appears to be with those
who hold the offices at present. They cannot
endure the idea Of giving them up and shar-
ing with others, though of the same party.
Judging from present indications, however,
we think this difficulty may be solved. While
the republicans are thus caucusing and pre-
pairing for the issue the democrats of this
State seem to be in a tempest-tossed condition,
at sea without rudder Has not the time
come and is it not in order now for the demo-
cratic chiefs to meet at Saratoga, that other
famous place for gatherings of politicians, to
devise plans for the future? A little purging
of the waters there might clear their heads
and open their eyes, The Springs might
prove as useful to them as the inspiring inhu-
ence Of Niagara to the republican leaders.
The campaign is opening in earnest, and it
behooves all to be up and doing.

feeling which existed in the minds Of the old
oficers of the empire towards the new officers
OF Gambetta's making, as may be imagined,
was anything but productive of that harmony,
discipline and efficiency which go to make an
emcient army. We hear that the army is to
be recognized, and that bill for that pur-
pose is already before the National Assembly
but In its reorganization trouble may arise.
From what we have said it will be seen that
the army question in France is one which re-
qnires delicate handling, and one which may
produce fresh troubles for nation already
weighed down under the load of misfortunes.

THE MONTANA INDIANS, who have been on
their good behavior for some time, are be-
coming FESTIVE and are preparing to take the
warpath. Governor Potts says the redskins
mean war, and as the government troops in
the Territory are inadequate to its defence he
has commenced organizing and arming the
settlers. Generally when Territorial officers
take a hand in an Indian war it turns out a
profitable operation for them, especially If the
general government can be induced to foot
the bills. President Grant will find 1t cheaper
TO feed the Montana Sioux than to fight them,
although in doing so he may Illustrate many
wellaid schemes for plunderng the public
treasury.

The Calamities of the World-Tho Desti.
tuition in Southern Hungary.

The Calamities of the WOrld-Tho Desti-
tuition in Southern Hungary.
This year has been prolific of calamities
that have sorely tried poor humanity. Dis
aster has followed close upon the heels of
disaster. The elements have played sad
havoc with mems lives and property, not to
speak of the human holocaust sacrificed to
the devouring monster, War, and of other dire
mishaps on sea and land. We have had
mournful tidings of death-vomiting volcanoes
and equally destructive tidal waves in remote
parts of the world, of the ravages of the
famine in Persia and the inrOads of the
cholera in Northern Europe. But day or
two ago We were informed that the blight
had ruined the potato crop in Ireland,
report which, however, we are glad
to hear proves to have been exaggerated.
And now, as if there were not already
misery enough in the world, there comes
a special despatch from our correspondent
at the capital Of Hungary adding another
mite to the sum total of human misfortune.
Floods and hail storms have ruined the fertile
fields of Southern Hungary. One-third of the
district of Banat, the granary of the Austrian
empire, is under water These lands had in
former times been waste marshes. They
were reclaimed by the construction Of dams
under the reign of the Empress Maria Theresa,
and made the most fertile fields of Hungary.
But now the country has returned to its
original condition; for culpably negligent
administration has turned deaf ear to the
of the peasantry. 1t failed to repair
the dams and thus caused the calamity.
But, regardless of the misery of the pea
santry, the authorities levy the arrears of
taxes with undue severity, Selling all the re-
naming property of these poor, trodden-down
people.
The once fair and happy province is ruined,
and famine is staring in the face of the inhabi-
tants. Here the government may be said to
have aided the elements in their work of
destruction. We might 60 further, and say that
bad or improvident governments have caused
nearly all the calamities we have mentioned.
Their first care is not to alleviate the sufferings
of the people, but to keep what they consider
their skeletons in the closet perfectly secret
from the rest of the world In the teeth of
all authentic reports about the famine in
Persia the representative Of that country
in London but recently denied the seve-
raj accounts and made light of the calam-
ity, thus delaying the aid which might other
wise have been Immediately despatched to
that famine and pestilence-stricken people.
The like may be said of the cholera which
had been lingering for two years in Russia, the
existence of which was, however carefully
excluded from the knowledge of all but the
officials of the imperial government. The
angry elements know no mercy, but, after all,
mans worst foe is his fellow man.

The French National Guard-The Motion
to Disband 1i-Tho Regular Army.

to Disband Ii-Tho Regular Army.
The question of the disarmament of the Ma
tional Guard of France still continues source
of perplexity and annoyance to the govern
ment. The course which the National Guard
pursued when the Paris Commune cast down
the gauntlet of war to the government of
France has completely shaken the confidence
of the people in the efficiency, honesty or pa
triotism of the Guard. 1t cannot be depended
upon OF this fact the French nation is pretty
well assured, and hence the National Assem-
bly, are determined to abolish it. Not only is
the National Guard source of anxiety to
French Legislators at the present day, but the
army itself, as at present constituted, causes
great fears to rise in the minds of many of
them. Every intelligent person recollects how
suddenly and disastrously the armies of the
empire became broken up. After short cam
paign of few weeks the imperial armies of
Napoleon were prisoners Of war in Germany.
France, though disheartened with this series
of terrible reverses, determined not to yield
without an attempt to redeem herself. With
the defeat of the imperial armies fell the
empire. Then rose the republic. New armies,
commanded by new generals and led by new
officers, poured into the field. The struggle
was continued, and with what results the world
is already familiar. Our reason for referring
to these facts is to show that within short
six months two distinct armies, by two dis
tinct and opposite governments, were engaged
in France against common enemy. The old,
or the imperial, armies were nearly all cap
tured, and on their return home from con6ne-
ment they found their places supplied by
forces whose existence they did not dream
of when they commenced the war with
Germany. Old army officers came back
to find themselves outstripped in rank
by new men, inexperienced in military
affairs and unacquainted with the business Of
war, save what the brief campaigns which
interviewed between the fall Of Sedan and the
second siege Of Paris afforded them. The
