CoRREsPoNpENr-But 1t appears to me that the
Right have majority In the Assembly. why DO they
not depose NJ Thiers and put some one IN his place
who would govern according to their Wishes
Monseigneur DuPANLoUP-No; the composition
of the Assembly is such that there is no majority
without the Left Centre, and this division OF the
Assembly, consisting OF about one hundred and
fifty members have the most unlimited confidence
in N. Thiers and, while being really mOnarchical in
sentiment, are willing nevertheless to accept the
Republic, n he should decide in favor OF 1t. They
are perfectly honest, we-meaning people, but
have no very fixed ideas or principles, and are,
therefore, very wavering, uncertain and not to be
relied upon. 1t 10 this fraction of the Assembly
that makes NJ Theirs position possible.
THE LEFT CENTRE
CORREsPoNpgNT-But II the Left Centre are really
monarchical can they not be induced to rally to
Whatever leader the Right may choose
MoNsEIGNEUR DUPANLOUP-The truth is that just
now there Is no man on whom the Right can unite.
since the Count de Chambords absurd refusal to ac-
cept the eadership and be reconciled his cousins
who have likewise shown themselves to be imprac-
tlcable by refusing to make sufficient advances TO-
wards affecting reconciliation, the Right really
have no candidate. They, Chambord and the younger
branch Of the family have both rendered themselves
for the moment impossible.
CoRREsPoNDENr-Th position Is certainly COM
pcatcd one. do not, for my part, see any way
out Of the dificulty.
PUTsMACNAHON IN HIS PLACE
Monseigneur DUPANLOUP-Yes, there is one way.
II M. Theirs should resign die we might put Mar
shall MacMahOn In his place.
CoRREsPoNDERT-But he has, believe, no politi-
COL oud inht inn IL
recting the mutifarious afrairs Of the government
Monseigneur DUPANLouP-He is perfectly capable,
but, not being skilful politician like N. Theirs,
he would not try to oppose the will Of the Assem-
bly,; he would not try to force upon them his IDEAS
but he would govern according to the wishes Of the
country.
CoRREsroNDENT-Do you think majority of the
Assembly could be brought to accept his nOmina-
tion; and, If they did, would the minority submit
to the choce2"
Monseigneur DUPANLOUP-In the case OF the
resignation or death of NJ Theirs the majority
would be undoubtedly in favor of MacMahon. As
to the minority they would be compelled to submit
He has the army on his side.
CORREsPONDENT-Why do you apprehend so much
danger from M. Thiers governing with the Lelt9
Have you not confidence In his patri0tism9
Monseigneur DuPANLoUP-I have all confidence
in his patriotism, but not in his views Besides he
Is deceiving himself He thinks he can gain the
confidence OF the Left and become their leader.
Never was there q greater mistake II the Left ever
get into power NJ. Theirs will be put aside for he
no more really represents the Left than he does the
Right
GAABETTA WILL REPLACE HIM.
But the French always go to extremes, and even
Gambetta viii not be advanced enough for them.
The Left Centre, now SO moderate, Will become
rouge and the Republic will drift into the Com
mune with all its horrors. And that means civil
war, the reoccupation Of the country by the Prus-
slams, bankruptcy and ruin. And do not see how
to avoid 1t except by openly declaring war against
M. Theirs, which would bring about crisis and
train of consequences equally disastrous. But to

glad to have 3 copy. " la9-
Monseigneur DupANLouP-I viii give you one.
Here he made sign for q domestic to approach,
and told him to bring a copy Of the document in
question: which, when brought he gave me.) But
tell me, \. havs heard that in the United States
there are many schools In which the children of
both sexes occupy the same rooms and Fairgrounds
IN common and take their recreations together. Is
this true
CoRREspoNDENr-lti Is true to certain extent in
al our public schools, especially In the country and
smaller towns In the larger towns, however, they
ore usually separated, although there is, believe
particular objection to their taking their recre-
ati0ns together.
Monselgneur DUPANLOUP-And no bad results
follow this promiscuous minglng of the sexes-as
regards morals, mean
CORRBsPONDENT-Not in the least On the con-
trary, 1t is thought to produce an opposite effect
The rough natures of the boys are softened and re-
fined by 1t, and their moral tone elevated. Boys
and girls grow up understanding each other bet
ter than when reared apart; real friendship and re-
spect spring up between Them there is co-opera-
ton and emulation without envy; there is not that
gulf which separates the sexes In this country;
they do not feel as though they were different
Of beings-a mystery to each Other-but compan-
ions, friends, helpmates, comrades brothers and
sisters all together. They grow up Knowing and
understanding each other, and the consequence is
that people, and the men especially, marry upon
an average at least five years younger than they do
In Europe-a custom which you must acknowledge.

Observation-Disclosures, yOu astonish me. !, OF
course, know but little about American society,
and the very tact that such state Of things can
exist Is proof Of the purity Of American manners.
But with us, can assure you, know that II this
freedom was allowed the result would be most de-
plorable for the morals Of the country. ] should
like very much to have book explaining the pub
lie school system in the United States thoroughly.
Could you get me such work.

him in any way, and that would procure work
on the subject and send 1t him, and after little
more conversation l took my leave.
