At this point the conversation, which had grad
ually increased In loudness Of tone, completely
drowned the voice OF the speaker The President
called upon the Assembly TO observe the greatest
silence; and M. Louis Blanc, who was evidently
determined, in case OF necessity, to 'make night
OF it," continued 1.-THE country thirsts for re-
pose, tranquility work. Where can the Assembly
discover the right to proong itself indefinitely ~
The conversation had again become general. The
President stood up and rung violently. M Louis
Blanc, perfectly selpossessed, rested with folded
arms, leaning on the tribune. M Grew, standing
an obelisk, declared that II his unruly Deputies
would not keep silence he would ADJOURN
the debate. The orator then. like M. Gambctta.

very simple means for clearing 1t up. Let us con-
suit universal Suffrage" The orator then, to the
surprise OF all, quietly left the tribune.
Louis Blane's speech was the shot OF blank
cartridge-it hit nothing; was utterly without effect
In the mind OF the House.
He was followed by M. RaOul DuvaI, who had
the tribune when an adjournment was made Till o
aggressive language that the diss0lutiOnists and
Communists were all one. He attacked Gambctta
Tor having prescribed inc BOnaporCSt C8nuludteS at
Bordeaux and cited General Aurees de Paladine
as an authority that his military dictatorship was
fantastic. Referring personally to M Mestreau,

Duval is especially bitter in al he says against
rivals Duval il q red.hared man and thorough

full Of talent and fury and their mutual hostility
lie Roger pointed out to the Assembly the fact
that while II was not In session the country was
tranquil. prosperous and happy, but that Its SIT,
argued thus to the advantage OF Its diss0vng alto
gether.
NJ Dufaure closed the debate by appearing for
the government. He was evidently set on to
natter the Right and performed his mission with
WILL and for the moment succeeded. He said
the government though standing al0of from the
passions which had animated and prolonged the
grave debate, would shortly state its views This
discussion had become inevitable because the AS
sembly was elected in crisis without previous
constitution or regulations and no thought was
taken of fixing the duration of its existence. He
regretted, however, that M. Gambetta had sought
an argument In the Prussan treaty, which,
though stating that the ratification must be made
by the Assembly, was not so cruel as to limit its
mandate to that alone. He repudiated M. Louis
Blanc's reprOach, that the Assembly laid claims
to perpetuty, and his old theory that the
sovereignty. OF the people should dictate to
claim when asserted in arms on May To-
Approving laughter on the Rightly He only
admitted the sovereignty OF the people on election
day. Afterwards that sovereignty was delegated
to the Assembly, which was far better judge than
the petitioners could be IS to when Its career OF
usefulness was over. Triumphant cheers on the
Right hailed this official declaration, which almost
endorses the ducal argument against universal
suffrage, that o grocer can have no political sa-
gacityo The contrary doctrine had produced inf
mite evil In France for eighty years. Far was 1t,
however, from tho intention OF the government to
deny the right OF members to suggest that the
time for dissolution had come, or OF petitioners
legally and respectfully to support that opinion;
N. Dufaure closed adroitly IN adopting lot tne
government formula, or "0rufe az yot" tnas
satisfied the Right, but binds NOBODY LOT the
future. There were many projects, and the rurals

Christmas holidays are over we may hear Of this
