tiles are gravely considering plans for the I'M
provement OF the new Boston, and great ques-
lions OF fire-proof construction which must
now assume such importance In every city OF
the world. The common council are deliber-
ating upon improvements In the map oil the
burned quarter. There ore to be no more
narrow lanes, but broad, straight streets and
open squares, and the owners of the property
are only waiting for the boundaries to be liked
In order to begin to build.
Such good humor In adversely, such courage
under disaster, such pluck, such enterprise,
and such solid sense, cannot be praised 100
too highly. A city whose merchants are made
of this stuff will soon forget catastrophe
like an $50, 600, 900 fire.
The loss has been estimated at all amounts,
from $4,000, 900 to s250.O00,O00. The best
judges agree to-day upon the smaller of these
figures. But very few vaults have been
reached, and no one can guess how much
NAV be recovered from the ruins. I SAW four
or five safes opened on Washington and Sum-
mer streets, and In every instance the books
and papers were reduced to cinder.
The sub-treasury in the postof1ce building
contained SIS, ,000, 900, all saved. The money
was escorted through State street to-day by
two companies OF marines and company Of
artillery, and the people cheered 1t as II 1t
were their best friend. The postof1ce will be
ready to receive and dispatch the malls as
usual after tonight.

PARIS, November II.
Theirs, In his speech, thanks God for the
reparatlon and general prosperity of the
country. Referring 10 the success of the last
loan, he says the whole available capital of
the commercial world was offered France.
Germany has been paid eight hundred mil
lions francs of the war Indemnity, and she
will receive two hundred millions more in
December. The budget shows deficiency of
one hundred and thirty-two million francs
for the past fiscal year, but the estimates show
that au equilibrium Of expenditure aud reve-
nue. will be restored In 1873, and a surplus may
be looked for In 1874. Alluson Is made to
the disasters of the late war, the cruel dsmem-
berment of the country, the frightfll lcssit
had to bear, and the establishment of the Re-
public. All these things suddenly bursting on
q suppressed and disheartened country. might
have resulted In irreparable dlsagter II order
had not been maintained. Appeals are made
to Republicans not to spare even excessive
sacrifices for sorder In their own interests.
Events have given them the Republic, the Be
any different form OF government wonld lead
to the most terrible revolution. The President
deprecates a formal proclamation of the Re-
publlc by the Assembly. The better policy
would be to impress on the institutions of the
country the features of Conservative Repub.
licanism. The Republic must be- conserVa
tive, otherwise 1t cannot exist. The absolute
need OF France is repose. The mass might
live through few days of agitation. After
frightening Others It fears Itself, and falls Into
the arms OF an adventurer, travelling the sad
and humiistlDg Journey from anarchy TO des-
potIsm, and despotlsn to anarchy. The light
est fault Is sufficient 10 wreck the Republic OF
France. Orderly and strong. 1t inspires conf
dence In foreign powers, who desire, above
all, q Just equilibrium. France, If she chooses
not to isolate herGelf, may become sur
rounded by trusting and useful friends.
TO the Assembly III left the Introduction
of constitutional measures. The decisive
moment has arrived lor The work. The Presl.
dent has promised defence, cooperation aud
devotion. The President concludes by invok-
Ing God to bless the work of the Assembly,
and render o complete and durable consnm-
nation. The message was we'll received by
the Left, to whom 1t gives great satisfaction.
The Conservatives moved Inc appointment Of
a committee to draw up reply. The motion
was agreed to by q small majority. 1t ls
thought that the Presidents message will
lead to an early dissolution of the Assembly.

"rHE TEMPER OF THE SOUTH"
What Grants Chief Organ Thinks of
our Prospects.

From the New York TtmeB.]
How does the South take the election is q
question frequently asked, and which the
Southern papers have, with more or less re-
serve, undertaken, In number of instances,
to answer. On the whole, their answers are
in the hlghest-degree encouraging. Without
going into detail, or quoting at length from
our exchanges, IL may fairly be said that the
following conclusions are generally accepted:
l. The election is acknowledged oy most OF
even the bilterest opponents OF Republican
ism to be an irreversible judgment against the
extreme Southern view of reconstruction. It
is accepted as q declaration that 10 Issue on
which parties divide In suoh way that The
sympathIzers With rebellion are on one Side,
can ever be made again 10 this country with
any hope that the majority will not be over
whelmingly against those sympathizers.
2. 1t is accepted as, on tne wno.e, gooo,
tempered act on the part of the North, and
not as an act of bitterness or hostility. In.
deed, we doubt If any considerable number of
persons were ever deluded bS the theory go
commonly advanced by Liberal" Republi-
cans, that to refuse to restore the Democracy
to power was an unlriendly act to the South.
8. The conclusion is almost universal that
the result Of the election secures an opporin-
nifty tor the South to quietly but energetlcally
devote itself TO its material interests, and I'M.
poses the duty OF doing 80 without delay, un-
disturbed by any plans or hopes connected
with national politics.
4. It is generally felt that the large propor-
tIon OF Southern men, heretofore opposed to
the Republican party, who have taken up the
cause of General Grant, is q strong guarantee
that every honest effort to make the State
governments pure and efficient will be helped.
as far as possible, at Washington.
On the whole jt NAV be reasonably con-
cluded that the election has removed many
obstacles to; and created many Inducements
for, the thorough tranquility and steady pro-
gress Of the South.
