TROUBLES IN FRANCE.

Some days ago President Theirs asked
the French Assembly for additional reven-
ues in the shape of a strong tariff on raw
material and imports. The question came
before the Assembly on last Friday for
consideration when by vote Of $40 against
907 resol ution was adopted providing
that the government shall only resort to
taxation on raw materials when the 9TH
er taxes fail to produce sufficient revenue
to meet the expenses of the nation. A
committee of fifteen was appointed, who
are in the meantime to make a thorough
examination of the tariff.
Our dispatches Sunday morning gave
the result of this action in the resignation
of Theirs aud his Cabinet. Our advices
published this morning indicate that the
matter has been compromised and that
the Chief Executive will continue to
act

pointing power should be covered, to some
extent, by political and personal influences.
Such considerations always have and al
ways will have their weight. 1t is all well
enough to say they should not, but then,
as matter of fact. it is impossible to ex-
clude them entirely, and the safest plan in
treating such subjects as this, lis to deal with
things as they are, not as they ought to be.
But in this matter as in others,
we have considered, the best protec-
ton against abuses is to see that those
! who are appointed to public positions are
capable and honest, and when we secure
such qualifications, we have the best guar
antees we are likely to get. Any plan
that hopes to secure more than this at once,
will fail. If we secure for such places a
tenure depending upon faithful discharge
of duty, and then hold the President re-
sponsible for removals without reasonable
cause, we will have basis upon which we
can have an honest and efficient discharge
of public duties. We do not believe in es-
tablishing permanent class of office hol-
ders, neither do we favor rotation as mere
reward for partisan service. There is q
medium which we can reach, by securing
| capable men and then giving the Presi
dent and Congress control of their tenure
of office.

NARROW GAUGE ROADS.

Our friends in Jefferson county are earn
estly discussing the question of narrow
gauge roads. We have published num-
Der of communications from one of the
most public spirited and best citizens OF
the county, "Pro Bono Publico,".in favor
of the roads from Clifton to Knoxville.
We have good reason to know that he has
gerry many good citizens who endorse his
views.
We publish to-day an article in reply.
The question is one of interest to the peo-
pie of Jefferson, and we hope they may
discuss and act upon the projects in the
spirit of enterprise and for the best inter
ests of the county. We can see no reason
for any illiberal spirit in such discussion,
and cannot see that the allusion to Dan
bridge as made was called for.
