Il THEIRS AND HIS QUARREL.S
- - AND PESTERINGS. GO
We confess. with something Of unpEo-
fessional frankness, to a hitherto con-
fused state Of mind regarding the cause
of the excitement, not to say hullabolloo,
which has lately been agitating Paris and
tho French Republic in general; indeed
we have been quite at a loss 10 account
for the direful threat made, for the
cozenth time, by Monsieur Theirs. to re-
sign his position as President of the said
Republic; and it is with a great and
grateful sense of relief and satisfied curl
osity that we read and reproduce the fol-
loving from the New York Weekly Wortd
% Nov. n: 2i5'7'1''
The event of the week in Europe has
been 4 quarrel between President Theirs
and the French Assembly, resulting in a
dangerous crisis While debating the
bill for the reform of the jury system, \
member remarked that the republic was
now firmly established. The opposition
to President Theirs policy instantly
raised cries of dissent, and stormy scene
followed After the session a caucus was
held and coalition formed by the conserv-
alive factions, who passed o resolution
demanding a pledge from Theirs of
more conservative policy in the future.
The next day resolution was introduced
ceasurins Gambetta's late speech, and in
tho course of the debate the Government
was roughly handled for its laxity. Pres
ident Theirs, who has seat III the
Chamber, replied to the attacks of the
members, threatening to either resign or
to dissolve the Assembly and appeal to
the country if the opposition continued,
and demanded a vote of confidence. The
vote was taken and adopted by 267 to III,
half the members abstaining from voting.
The greatest excitement followed, Theirs
declaring his intention of resigning unless
the resolution received q larger majority.
The Left held a caucus and passed n res
elution requesting him to continue at the
head of the Government. He replied
that he would make any reasonable con-
csssion, but could not reinquish his con-
victiOns The Left then introduced
bill, with President Thiers' approval,
pzolongihg his present term four years;
providing for o Tice-President in case of
resignation or death; the President and
Vice President to be re-eligible to office
only for second term; one-third of the
Assembly to be renewed annually; the
President to be entitled to suspend the
promulgation Of bills passed by any As
sembly until after the annual election;
then If tie Assembly insists on the law,
it must be promulgated. At a caucus of
80 members Of the Right it was resolved
to oppose <sny formal declaration of the
republic, abstain from combinations for
the restoration CT monarchy, and adhere
firmly to the actp of Bordeaux At the
same tine they declared. their Willingness
to grant to n. Theirs the presidency for
life If he would frankly take conservative
eru0na, constitute o irresponsible Ministry,
and give up his right to participate in
parliamentary debate. President Theirs
ON Friday appeared before the committee
appointed to draw up reply to his mes
sage and urged them to terminate :he
present state of indecision, reiterated his
opinion that the republic was indispens-
able, and declared that he was willing to
accept the principle of ministerial res
possibility and a parliamentary system
which would not completely exclude him
from debate. The report of the COM
mittee was completed on Monday, declar-
ing . reply to the message unnecessary,
a. Theirs was u delegate to the Assembly,
and refused to resign his membership Of
that body, and proposing the immediate
election of . committee to draw up
