GAMBETTA'S FOLLY.

From the H. Y. Tribune.
1t seems that Mr.. Gambetta is to be added
to the long list Of those statesmen who are
admirable in speech and worse than useless in
action. The members of the Provisional
Government who remainedin Paris have made
the best attainable arrangements with the VIC
torious enemy. A truce is provided for which
wieh common prudence and discretion might
result in peace and the final establishment of
a settled Government in France. Less than
three weeks are allowed for the momentous
business Of electing an Assembly, calling the
members together, and deciding upon the
terms of peace discussed between Mr.. Favre
and Bismarck at Versailles. 1t would appear
impossible that any one of ordinary capacity
should fail to see the absolute necessity of
perfect unity and harmony in the Republican
ranks. But this is precisely the instant Mr..
Gambetta chooses to denounce his associates
and impair their authority, and to call upon
the country to take measures to Legin the
war anew Immediately upon the expiration of
the armistice. His passionate appeals and
misrepresentation will have the effect, if
they have any, of rendering the task of the
Constituent Assembly well nigh impossible.
For if an excited public feeling be reused to
the extent of rejecting reasonable terms of
peace, the labor of the Assembly would be in
vain, and the establishment of Government
which would survive the retirement of the
Prussians would be out OF the question.
1t remains to be seen what action the Cabi-
net of the Emperor of Germany will take in
regard to this unheard-of reputation by one
half of the Government of the spirit and in
tention of a solemn compact entered into by
the other half. If the Government of BOr-
deaux insists upon carrying on offensive pre-
parations during the whole duration of the
truce, it may be that Prussian headquarters
will refuse to be bound by an agreement
which is openly scorned by their adversary.
We say nothing Of the question of interna-
tionai ethics involved, as the Gascon wing of
the Committee Of National Defense is not in
a state of mind to consider calmly the rela-
tion of its acts to the principles of absolute
right and the law of nations.
The effect of this senseless quarrel upon
the elections cannot be other than disastrous.
The Republicans, as it is, have no votes tC
spare. The Government is placed in posi-
tion of vast responsibility and little power

THE IMPERIAL RING.

From HdTper's Weekly.
During the long Republican ascendeney in
this State, the Democratic party constantly
alleged that the city of New York had been
virtually deprived of self-government by the
system of commissions appointed by the
Governor and Legislature. The people were
implored to save the very principle of free
popular institutions by overthrowing the
Republicans and bringing the Democracy
into power. At length the Republicans were
defeated. We are now entering upon the
second year of Democratic supremacy in the
State, and popular government in the city
of New York is already practically
subverted An imperialism has been esta-
blished here as absolute as that of Louis
Napoleon, and it is formally sustained, as his
was, by an occasional pLe5iscjte called an cleo
tion. De Tocqueville, that acute political
thinker, contemplated with the utmost appre-
henslon democratic state of society without
honest democratic institutions He thought it
the worst form of tyranny. This is the specta-
Gle which the city of New York now presents,
and 1t challenges the thoughtful attention of
every political student, as of every American
citizen who is looking candidly to see with
which party in this country the Just develop
ment of the American constitutional and DO
pular principle is most assured.
There are in the city of New York four
wel-known persons-Mr Tweed, Mr.. Sweeny,
Mr.. Connolly and Mr.. Hall. They are the
managers of Tammany Hall; and the most
conspicuous Of them, Mr.. Tweed, has been
/ described often and at length in one Of the
organs of his party in the city (the New York
] HOlld), in terms which, if not justified by
