q Elections were held last Sunday
in Paris, Marseilles and Bordeaux. The
radicals were victorious. And now
fears are expressed of civil war in
France. These elections are adverse
to the present Government and must
certainly be considered as portentious

the future. No one can tell the char.

r Peace is nearly established in
Louisiana. and Gov. Kellogg is likely
to establish his authority as chief magis-
trate of the state, with the aid of the
general government. There seems to
he but little prospect of securing, for
punishment, the white murderers of
the 200 negroes at Grant Parish. These
miscreants band together SECRETLY to
Cypress and murder colored people
The latter are more civilized and better
citizens than their enemies. We should
be willing, as Il matter of discipline. tO
see these ignorant and savage whites
put in the place on the plantations lately
occupied by the blacks. to STAY there
till this reform school should make de.
cent citizens of them, and thew become
tit to run at large. There are MANY
whites at the South who need som.
such wholesome discipline.

~ The Free Press congratulatcs the
citizens of Burlington upon the election
OF Mr.. Hatch as aldermanic chairman.
We wish to do so likewise. His ex-
perience as Il legislator for more than
twenty years-though most of the time
little on the verge of the assembled
wisdom of the state-must leave him
well qualified to decide nice parliament

The Modoc War.
THE LATEST FROM THE LAVA BEDS

THE LATEST FROM THE LAVA BEDS.
A lava bed special says that Donald
Mckay reports the stronghold now Oc-
cupied by the MOdOcs as much stronger
than that heretofore held by them. Our
cavalry are all dismounted, on account
of the epizootic. Gen. Gillem will adj
vance his lines sufficiently to allow only
his mortars to operate.
During the night of the 9th, there
were believed to be but thirty fighting
Modocs left, two having deserted.

Gen. Gillem is puzzled as to the where
abouts of the Modocs. 1t is supposed
that they are scattered. Small parties
are at times visible in number of
places, but are not found when the
places are captured, having escaped by
some underground connections. Gil
LENS inactivity has had bad effect on
all the unfriendly tribes in northern
California and Oregon. The outside
Indians are well posted in regard to the
ModOc war. No satisfactory movement
has been made since the 18th inst.
General Gillem requires at least double
his present force, and sharpshooters and
experienced Indian fighters are badly
needed. The latest reports are that the
Modocs are entrenched in new ambush
and are gradually approaching the edge
of the lava beds.

- The Argus suggests that Secre-

now afford to leave Vermont. He has

sometime before. and also got the Board
to adopt other books of New York

afford to do this as he has put large
bill upon the state i'll publishing his
long argument to show that the schools
must accept his arithmctics. and the
other books of his New York house
This is newborn idea. He did not
appear to understand this when he was
peramhulating the state in company
with his associates. by whom his arith-
metics were crovded into schools two
years ago. under his eyes-if he had
any eyes in this direction. The people
will not accept this argument. They
will accept instead that of Judge Steele.
The last Woodstock Post is about right
when it SAYS:
There is, practically, but one voice
from those entitled to Judge. and that
says, DO not Use Frcnchs arithmetics."
