FRIDAY. FEBRUARY .. 1879.

Oar foreign dispatches bring many curious
aud notable items Of news concerning the French
and their government. The latest dated at
Paris, Feb. 18th, states thar the national assem-
bly, has "passcd resolution authorizing the
prosecution OF ten provincial newspapers" for
daring TO criiicise that body sharply. The as
sembly processes TO feel insulted by their erifi-
cisms and means to crush them. This is ropuh-
lean freedom, as the French understand it; but
nobody in France has mastered the simplest hrst
principles of political liberty. They have sew
eraI times, during the last seycnW-fve or eighty
years, proclaimed "the republic but they have
never for single instant had republic, nor
understood how to organize one; and they are
now no more advanced on this question than
thev were seveniy.iiyc years ago. By a republic
the communists mean complete suppression Of
individual freedom by on all-controlling COM
uuBe or state, VIII h shall steruly fix the place
of every individual and direct his activity
filters republicans" maintain the machinery
of dcspoiism. This machinery is now as com
plctc in the hands Of Theirs as it was in the
hands o. Napoleon Ill; and neither of French
republics SO called, would consent to part
with it,
Tb re never was a representative body that
mere deserved criticism than the present French
national assembly. TWAS elected to make peace
with Germany and take measures to reoreanize
the government. The peace was made; but
nothing else has been done There has been no
movement to give France republican cousii-
tuition, no attempt to secure a settled govern
mcnt Of any kind Meanwhile, the assembly re-
mains in session, with no disposition to order
a new election, nor to do anything but keep
itself in existence and sit permanently. Very
it is criticised; and, using the ma
cbiucry of despodsm, it undertakes to prose
cute and exterminate the critics.
