During an exciting debate in the
French Assembly Saturday, NJ. Duval
made violent attack upon the Govern.
ment, and moved a resolution declaring
that the municipal councils had violated
the laws of the country, and that M.
LIE Franc, in receiving the addresses for
the President, had also failed to observe
them. The motion was carried by 3O5
against 299 votes, when adjournment
amid the greatest excitement took place.
subsequently NJ. lie Franc rendered his
resignation to Theirs, who accepted it.
The situation is now of the gravest ma
ture, and it would not be surprising to
soon hear of violence among the people.
President Theirs says there is nothing
left for him but to resign.

Stuart, and Miss Broderick, also lwit-
messed the death.
The room In which Mr.. Greeley died
was large one on the northwest corn or
of the first floor Of DR.. Ohoate's house.
1t was bright one, neatly carpeted,
but devoid of chairs, pictures, 0rna-
ments, wash basin, or any small articles
of furniture. All these had been re.
moved when Mr.. Greeley first mani.
tested evidences of wildness. Before
they were removed he on one occasion
broke his watch to pieces, and at another
threw kerosene lamp on the floor.

doctors that acute mania had set In.
THE SEAL OF SECRECY
placed upon DIR. Choate's lips in relation
to the actual condition and treatment
of his patient, and the development OF
the disease, deprives history of an i'm

Greeley. Nervous excitement, disap-
pointed hopes, and loss of sleep doubt
less produced the fatal disorder, while
terrible mental strain, proving too
great for the exhausted physical system
fastened the result.

appear in Mondays Sun.-N, Y. San.

HORACE GREELEY.

It is with sorrow most genuine and
regret unalloyed that we announce the
death Of the distinguished journalist
and statesman whose name heads this
article. He was, perhaps, at the time
OF his passing away the foremost
American of the day, although years
may intervene before the full merits
of his deeds are known and admitted.
As an editor he had no superior II in
deed he had an equal. His style Of
writing was concise, forclble, original
and convincing Probably no one man
In the country ever moulded public
opinion and gave shape and form to
national measures to 80 great an extent
as Horace Greeley. To him more than
anyone belongs the credit of the emsn-
eipatiop of the negroes. He was fear
less in his utterances when convinced
Of their truth aud necessity; ever ready
to aid the oppressed; ingenious and
strong in the defence of his opinions.
His private life was blameless he was
conscientious, pure, temperate and
charitable; he was the hardest of
workers and on looking back over the
many years of mental toll which he
has undergone the wonder is that he
hal not sooner broken down. The
world Is poorer for his death and the
void he has left will be hard to fill
From all parts of the country and from
all classes of men, municipal bodies
societies, re ligious associations, politi
clans and clergymen, the rich and the
poor, come expressions of sorrow; and
from hundreds of pulpits, sermons were
preached on the Sunday following hi:
death, whose text was the life of thu
farmers boy, who had raised himsel
TO a position secoud to none In thii
broad land of ours.
We have had no sympathy with hin
politically and supported him in tn,
recent election only as the leader in th
party Of reform, but we have no hesita
tion in bearing witness to the extraor
dinary ability with which he advocated
his own views, even when most op
posed to our own. We mourn for him
because the world contains too few o
such manly, courageous, able, jealous
defenders of their fellow men, not tc
feel the fall of such leader among
them. The circumstances surrounding
his death are tragical; the loss of his
wife, followed by'his own defeat in the
campaign, were too much for the earn.
est and ardent spirit to bear and the
mighty mind gave way. There is
nothing in the annals of our country's
politics one-half so sad as this.
1t will be long, we believe, before
Horace Greeley's loss to mankind will
be made good; before we "look upon
his like again" His busiest of busy
lives merits peaceful rest. Gcd grant

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia sunday Mercury, has the
following bit of gossip relative to our

"Did tell you last week that Cover

The New York Church Journal says
OF General Meade "A more sanity
knight never drew sword. A kinder

blot, than George G. Meade. Phila-

CONGRESS-

Congress met in session on Monday
last. Neither the Senate nor House did
anything lin the way of business aside
from the offering of large number Ol
bills, all of which were referred. In the
Senate resolution of respect to the
memory of Horace Greeley was adopt.
ed, and similar one was passed in the
House. Mr.. Banks offered his resigna.
ton as chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, but the House, by a
vote of 76 to "a, refused to accept it.
Speaker Blaine called the Hon. s. S.
Cox to the chair, and, in short speech,
offered a resolution for the appointment
of special committee of five to investi-
gate the charges in relation to the Credit
Mobilier matter. The committee was ap.
pointed, a request of Mr.. Blaine that it
be not composed of a majority of his
political friends being complied with
Both houses adjourned shortly after the
reading of the Presidents message,
which occupied over an hour.
The Senate on Tuesday transacted no
business.
In the House, Mr.. KELLOGG, of Con-
necticut, introduced bill to repeal thf
stamp tax on bank checks and notes. Re
ferred.
Mr.. RANDALL offered a resolution
calling on the secretary of the treasury
for information as to what law authori-
zes him to make an increased issue of
legal tender notes, as was done in Octo-
ber last, and whether such issue was
made in the legal tender notes hereto.

After some discussion by Messrs. Ran

country by surprise-the resolution was

and referred.
