Two brilliant propositions arc reported from
the French Assembly. The first is that the
Left are responsible for the present agitation.
This is the Rights way of accusing the lamb
of muddying the stream. The next is a scheme
by a Deputy to constitute Section Of Con-
troll, which is finally to accept or reject all
laws passed by the Assembly. This control
ling section is to be chosen by lot. AS such a
body would not represent any other idea than
that Of chance. it might as well be instructed
to toss up fiye-franc piece to decide whether
a law should live or die. -

HOW WOULD IT LOOK FARTHER NORIH'
Here are some salient points in the late news
from New-Orleans:
1. There is dispute "a 90 who rs elected
Governor of Louisiana. Each side claims the
victory; and each side has a Returning Board
TO certify TO it.
2. One of the candidates, Mr.. Kellogg, is
now United States Senator. The Constitu-
ton of Louisiana makes U. S. officer ineli-
gibe to the Governorship. 1t is claimed that
a case many years ago gives precedent for
constituting the Constitution against its Ian
guage; and'this, in turn, is denied
8. ltis not pretended that Senator kellogg was
actually elected Governor 1t is only claimed
that he would have been elected, if all the
negroes had been allowed to vote. His oppo-
nents deny that any we're hindered.
T. The State Court sustains Kelloggs oppo-
nent the U. S. Circuit Judge sustains KEEL
logg. On this the U. s. troops are
pledged to sustain Kellogg, by the Attorney
General, speaking for the National Admins
tration.

THE CYRJST-CHILD.

The Germans have beautiful legend. which
they more than half believe, that on Christmas
morning the Child. born in o stable, revisits
earth, to look after all other little ones; that
from the little prince in his royal cradle to
the baby sleeping like Himself in straw, none
are left unvisited by Him, that He may know
how men have welcomed those whom He gave
as an especial legacy into their tenderest keep
ing. What if the story were truef What If,
when in few days Christmas dawns upon rs,
the Holy Child were actually to enter into the
myriad homes Of this sO-called Christian cityf
On one street He would find hosts of beautiful
children, guarded from every unkind wind,
wrapped in velvets, jeweled. pampered with
dainties, the constant care and delight of
watchful mothers and fathers. They are His
creatures; the good things which make life q
lovely dream to them are absolutely His gifts
to their parents. Side by side with them on
the crowded pavement, logging their foot
steps with outstretcled hands and hungry
eyes, are hosts of other children, His creatures
also. They are naked and famished and sor-
rowful. They arc so used to misery and want
that it has not yet occurred to them that they
have a right to complain. They look at their
more fortunate brothers with an awe and
wonder. rather than envy, as they might peer

ship. This is good Treasury law, which some
times forbids the importation OF certain
forms of goods, but. when they are
brought in, fines the importer an amount
equal TO tho legitimate duties and gives him
his goods. still this is after all only pitiful
evasion. and gives rise to no end of trouble
in similar cases. Aside from any mere tech
nical objections, the sympathy of our generous
people would naturally favor the rebate oi

In the House, yesterday. the Senate amend
ment to the new Internal Revenue bill, which
provides for the appointment Of 25 Special
Treasury Agents, was defeated. This, Of
course, sends the bill 10 a Conference Com
mittee. The bill was originally intended to
promote the interests of reform and economy /;
the Senate proposes to hinder both by turn
ing another squad Of special agents on the
country. Experience has steadily shown that
these agents, whether in the Treasury or
Post Office Department, are for the most part,
mischievous, expensive, and sti1TerS-up of
strife whatever happens to the pending bill,
we earnestly hope that it viii not create any
more of them.

l That q man who was not always understood
IN his own country, as was the lot of Mr..
Greeley, should pot be wholly appreciated in
England. seems natural enough But the
clarifying effect which the death OF & public
man always has on the vision of those who
remain is felt in other lands than ours. Our
London correspondent, whose letter is here
with published, sends some expressions of
regret and appreciation which were evoked
by the news in London of Mr.. Greeley's death.
These are simply, for the most part, indica-
tons of the tone of private society; but they
give a glimpse of q generous side Of human
nature.

There seems to be no end TO the variety Of
reasons which induce men and women in ir-
regular relations to shoot each other. The
NeilsOn-place murder was because the unhappy
woman would not leave the house. A thief
named Harrington, yesterday morning,
shot woman because she would. 1t is sim
gular to observe how much finer feelings
these scamps have than decent people. The
ordinary run Of mOrtais differ every day and
think nothing of it, But the Fairs, the
Macartbys, of one sex, and the Fosters and
Harringtons OF the other. are so delicately con-
stituted that the slightest word agitates them
TO the shooting point. And the average juror
and Judge are moved to tears over IL.
