with some other members of the Cabinet, has

Hearty support which was given to them by
the Left. Even His ExceeDcy the President
occasionally winces, when the loyal men Of
the Mountain applaud him and his old friends
on the Right sit in stern and silent disapproval'
NJ. Dufaure was at least determined to have
no applause from the Left. He weot out OF
his way in the most uncalled for manner to
attack the Republicans. He said. rs if it were
a final and unanswerabe IeprOach, that NJ.
Gambetta was the cause of this agitation Tor

be anything out of the way. Any ono who
can succeed in bringing about u dissolution OF
the present Assembly and an election OF
another in which the popular sentiment could
be properly represented would deserve the
thanks of his country.
The debate ended with n puerlle piece OF
malice. The Assembly voted to placard the
speech of NJ. Dufaure, and rejected PROPOSE
ton to give similar publicity to that OF NJ.
Gambetta. If the ingenious youth OF France
get their oratorical education from these pa-
cards, they will lose heavily through the bad
taste of the Assembly. But sooner or later the
dissolution must come and the longer 1t Is
delayed, the more will the monarchy be dis
credited in the eyes Of France.

THE DEBATE ON DISSOLUTION

The long threatened debate in the French
Assembly on the question of dissolution took
place on Saturday, and has ended, apparently,
without any serious result. very large ma
jOrity of the members preferred to hold their
places In peace rather than 90 before the
people for reelection, and the Government as
represented by NJ. Dufaure, took unexpectedly
strong ground i'll the same direction. The
question of dissolution is, therefore, for the
present, so far as the Assembly il concerned,
buried under an adverse majority of 400 10
2O1. The Monarchists In the Chamber and in
the press are, of course, in state Of insu1er-
able exultatiOn, and the Radicals calmly and
indifferently bide their time.
We see again in this performance, what we
have several times noticed before, tho great
superiority of the Republicans to their oppo-
nents in dignity and self-command. In the
condensed abstract sent by the cable Of NJ.
Gambetta's speech on Saturday, there IL no
indication Of anything in the least provoking
or aggressive, nothing Of that energetic tona
of defiance which is almost always to be oh
served in the speeches of the leaders of par
liamentary minority. NJ. Duval had opened
the debate with an attack upon the signers
and supporters of the petition for dissolution.
He indulged, as do all the monarch
ical speakers and writers, in those unjust and
insolent aspersions of the motives Of the Re-
publicans which seem to them a mere matter
of course NJ. Gambetta was not shaken from
his habitual reserve by these insults. He re-
ferred to the fact that the country had repeat
eddy manifested its dissent from the policy of
the Assembly, by embracing every opportunity
to return Democratic in place of Monarchicsl
deputies, even from those districts where the
latter were strongest in influence and in tra-
ditions. The anxiety consequent upon the
recent crisis furnished him with an additional
argument for dissolution, 80 that homo
geneous and practicable Assembly might
BE elected to decide upon the perma-
nent constitution Of the country. He
concluded by one of those brilliant and
graphic phrases in which no is accustomed to
condense the floating impressions of the town,
declaring that the monarchy was impossible,
because neither king would accept nor the
people mtify. This is probably literally true.
II is not likely that any king could receive an

That the fire at the Fifth Avenue Hotel was

BY this time one would suppose, the Ex-
ecutive has come to the conclusion that the
recognition of the Pinchback Government III
Louisiana was, to say the least premature.
The statement of Mr. Ogden, Attorney General
of the State, which we print to-day. is clear
and dispassiOnate. Pinchbacl and his Legis-
lature are put into Office by United States
Court, backed by no more substantial
evidence of election frauds than reports
of United States officers, unknown to
State law; they are kept Jin office by
United States troops. Pinchback, who claims
to be Acting Governor because he was
Lieut. Governor when articles of impeaoh-
ment were preferred against Warmoth, never
was Lieut. -GOvOrnor. He was Senator.
whose term OF office expired last November;
when Lieut.-Gov. Dunn died, Pinchback was
chosen presiding officer of the Senate; now he
claims to he Governor, because he was once
Senator and then acted rs Lieut.. Governor;
but his term of office has already expired.
Pinchback is kept in place, however, by Fed
eral bayonets, anil next we hear the State Ar
senal is taken into the keeping of Gen. En-
DRY, commanding the Department. The Leg
islature which has just presented articles or
against WarmOth is guarded by
Federal troops. The Presidents word alone
suffices to establish the legality of the con-
testing claims to the Goyernorship Ii this is

Representative Snapp may be rather small

offce-holders. OF course, none but Admins

fine promises made months ago of the early
commencement and completion of the work

Secretary Robeson's order in relation to the
treatment of the cOlored cadet at Annapolis
by his comrades ought to give some new ideas
to those young men. The Secretary informs
them that their persecution of young COnyers
is an impOtent protest against the spirit of
national law; an insOlent and unmanly ex-
preston of superiority over the solitary repre-
sentative of lately oppressed race; and an
open defiance of the authority of their supe-
riors, which is violation of the most COM
prehensive of their professional duties. This
is about the whole case, so far as the cadets
are concerned. and it is high time that they
learned their own position.

The cases Of both Stokes and Tweed are set
down for trial to-day in the Court of Oyer
and Terminer before Judge Ingraham. OF
course one of them must give way-possibly
both will 20 over; but it seems to us that at
this moment it is of the utmost importance
TO proceed with the case of Stokes. The cal
endar of criminals has been almost wholly fin
ished. and the Tombs nearly cleared of muir
derers. Singularly enough, the men who did
not want to be tried, and who have commit
ted crime since Stokes killed Fisk, have had
preference over him, who has been clamorous
for trial Between Tweed and Stokes we
think the Court should not hesitate. Tweed
is on bail, while Stokes. of course, cannot be
bailed. In common humanity as well as sim
pie Justice the latter should be tired first, and
we hope Judge Ingraham viii to-day so decide.
Il il reported that Prince Bismarck is about
ito withdraw from the Prussian Council of
Ministers and simply exercise the functions of
Chancellor OF the Empire. Although this re-
port needs confirmation, it is not without
precedent. In the Anstro- Hungarian Mon

Of the separate Governments of which it is
composed, the division Of Offices does not
work to very great disadvantage. In Germany,
where Prussia has preponderating influence,

to be in harmony with that of the Federal

are well-founded. In the present Ministry
