New-York tribune., 1872-03-29

Gcndarmcs ar, IN full possession OF all thor ordinary
powers and majestic IA ever. They stalk about the
streets Of Rheims and Nancy in the exercise OF their
duties. The carrsons In France behave Just as
they would i'm Mayonce Cologne In Frankfort or Dis
sedorf. After many inquiries from oil classes the only
real grievance worth noticing against the Prussians
that in some places notably in Rheims, they still
betcd on the inhabitants. Now this is not the fault Oh
the Germans for they are ready to into BARRACKS
wherever there any sufficiently large ior
their accommodation Here in Nancy, for instance
where there very large barracks, there are "'
any troops quartered in private houses In i."oi'''
wooden sheds are In course of construction Tor 'he r
ceptiOn OF the German troops; at Vitry-ef
Prlssian garrison actually occupies these NUS
moi look to me as If they would be very comiort'o'o
abodes during the Winter months The iah' Is eh'no'S
with the French Government which has so mismanaged
matters "A 70 delay the construction of the temporary
barracks for the in the most absurd ana aos'
incredible manner NJ Theirs declared, III his last h'co
sage 10 the Assembly, that all the German troops were
LODGED in barracks, more than TWO hon'i'
ago at time when not single
shed had even been contracted 1Orl ipcn
when the representatives of the occupied departments
demonstrated at Versailles against extraordinary
misstatement NJ Pouyer Quertier threw all sorts OF oD
saces the way of the delegates from the occupied o
partments who required an advance from the Nauoha
Treasury to pay part for the construction OF the ne"
barracks. After endless Ullculty tne uucrcht """9
did what il would have better If they had begun by
doing l. e. they borrowed the money themselves, and
set TO work construct temporary habat0ns lor leH
foreign garrisons with all convenient speed.
AS have said, in or two towns the troops are no
longer uuarered the inhabitants aud they would not
be in any were not for the neglect OF the French Gov
ernInent to supply them with the necessary accomno
dations After ALL" said German officer to me yesler
day, "they can hardly expect to make our men
in the streets because Theirs is too stupid TO nave tents
built for We would much rather have the men n In IN
barracks as they under control ana II Is Deer
fty them in every way to be kept apart from tne
French" The streets much quieter IN the nlght
than those OF many a garrison town III Ireat
Britain and the French declare that the reason 10 De
found in the fact that the SO hard worked at
drill that the end of the day they are tired OUT ana
want only to go bed and sleep That the men are eN-
tremey hardworked at drill is fact which there is no
DENYING In spite of the assertions OF the PARIS press
there is not far can discover, any limit put on
the circulation of French newspapers, or even
French caricatures, in this part OF France. Duy
the Paris Figaro every morning here and every numner
of t contains silly Joke other against the frus-
slams In the shop windows there are numberess carea
lures OF the Prussians Of them being personally
insulting TO the Emperor OF Germany Pictures there
are too of Alsace and Lorraine waiting 10 be deNereu
from the cruel yoke OF Germany and at least nan tne
hooks on sale tell of the en0rmities committed Dy inc
Germans during the late No notice whatever seems
10 be taken of these There Is much bitterness ags
all foreigners shown in these departments and especially
toward the Americans and Englishnen VINO seem " DC
regarded as Germans in disguise.
