10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNR
LONDON Thursday. May IS, 1871
The special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE at
Paris in a Telegram dated Wednesday night, says;
The insurgents are fighting desperately at the Hotel
de Vile. The Versaiists are afraid to rush on the
barricades. and have commenced TO undermine
them. The insurgents are dealing destruction and
death over Paris and the heat of the contiagrauon
ia intense The Versaillists not savage, but ex
hibt a childish delight to be in Paris.
The Communists do not attempt to occupy the
houses in order to fire on the advancing enemy but
ere satisfied to use the barbados and such cover as
The streets afford. The VerSaillists occupy the
houses, expose themselves very little, and never
ven,ule hand-to-hand fighting A handful of reso-
Int COMMUNISTS held the Boulevard Haussmann,
hut their TANKS were gradually turned, and after
gallant resistance, they stole away by the new
opcra-House. Twenty-Five insurgents block the bou-
leyard. The VeTzallists, afraid to rush on to the
attack. make their way from house to house, and
fire from the windows, while the artillery and mi
traillcuses sweep the street The Communists dis
ployed remarkable valor in attempting to get the
cannon on the side of the Opera-House in the Rue
Hal6vy. There was severe fighting in the adjacent
streets.
The Yersallists have carried the barricades in the
BonlcyarGs Bonne-Nouvello and Possoniere, but the
Communists hold with surprising courage the Boule-
ward Haussmanu and Rue Hal6vy.
Ats o'clock this afternoon the Yersaillists carried
the Opera-E ouse, and the people in the neighbor-
hood rushed out Of their houses clapping their hands,
and gave wine and money to the troops. Some
women even embraced the troops, and shouts OF
T7re Ia Ecge were everywhere heard. The soldiers
fateraized heartily with The people, and preserved
admirable discipline

The chronic revolution has broken
out again in Mexico. OF course it will
not amount to much. Mexican revolu-
lions never do, and they sometimes fol-
low each other SO rapidly that we have
not time to become interested In one
before another succeeds il and IL ceases
to be. 1t is announced, however, that
Juarez has been installed as President,
and IL any man in Mexico can restore
order and preserve semblance Of peace
he can. In any event there was no oc-
casion for the outside world troubling
itself with plying the Mexicans be-
cause their country is distracted by
civil war. They are thoroughly used
to it, and their actions would some
times seem to indicate that they rather
like It.

A bitter fight is going on in Douglas
county over the county officers. The
Lawrence Tribune is makiIg serious
charges against Paul r. Brooks, the
present county clerk, who is candidate
for reelection. Paul has the reputation
of being, not only the best county clerk
in the State, but one of the most upright
men. If We remember rightly he has
been clerk in that county several
years, and has enjoyed the confidence
OF the people to an unusual extent. He
objects to the hard names used towards
him by the Tribune, and has sued the
proprietors OF that paper-Shimmons,
Hutchison aud Sidney Clarke, for Ii
bel. Il SCENE to us the Tribune Is shark
ing up the wrong tree" when it gets
after Paul Brooke By charging him with
stealing. If they wanted TO beat him
they could have done 1t better in some
other way. We don't see where Paul
is going TO get his $4,000, but we hope
he will come out of the fight unscathed.

At last we have promise of general
revelation as to the frauds in the mu-
nicipal affairs of New York City. The
promise Is as yet faint one, but when
once an association of wrong-doers be-
gin to go to pieces, there are always
some of the number willing TO shield
themselves from punishment by turn
ing states evidence. We have the au-
thority of the Ecening Post for the
statement that Mayor Hall has promis-
ed, If placed upon the witness stand, to
"give q sensation of greater importance
than any that has yet appeared" and
with this intimation, of course the
Committee of Seventy will see that
Mayor Hall IL properly placed upon the
witness stand. Meantime Mr.. John III.
Keyser, whose plumbing account has
been one of the unsolved mysteries of
Ring arithmetic, has surrendered $3.50,
600 of his receipts to q trustee for the
use of the city, accompanying the sur
render with statement of such facts
as he knows regarding the frauds in
UAANh A4O Aoo POI SANiPo1O0s AAAo CIHSO-
ment is withheld for the present, but it
is very evident that he will make val
liable witness for the people. Inasmuch
as he was the one man in the Ring who
was believed to be honest, his surren-
der of SO large sum is a green-tree
indication of what is yet to come. But
better than all else is the fact that these
attempts to escape punishments are in
dicative of failing confidence on the
part of lll-doers. So long as they re-
main defiant the whispers of corrup-
ton in the courts gave the people un-
easiness, but now that these men admit
by their acts that they are afraid they
shall be sent to the penitenliary, il is
evident that they feel themselves una
BILE to control the Judiciary, aud there
seems reason to hope that the end OF
the matter may not come until the city
has recovered some of the stolen mil
lions and sent some of the thieves to
paison.
