Party Divisions in France.

We print elsewhere an analysis of French
political parties in France which will be of
unusual value now. We hear so much of
Right and Left, one Centre and another in
the French Assembly, that to keep thorough
knowledge of France and French politics
requires special education. Parties change
so whimsically that what may be conserva-
tive to-day is radical tomorrow. Thus JAG
obinism, as it was regarded in the past is lit
tie more than imperialism now. In other
words, the Jacobin principle of strong, Gen.
tralized government, resting on Paris, as
taught by Robespierre and practised in
the Reign of Terror, was the ele-
ment of Napoleonism and the main griev-
ance which led to the Commune, while the
Commune theory-which we regard as 30
radical and calculated to subvert society-was
almost identical with the views of the
Girondists, who were beheaded for their con-
servatism. Parties in that strange French
country change like the shoals and banks of
the sea shore. Where there is bank now
we shall find the deep water tomorrow. So
to speculate upon French politics, upon any
division of parties as known in history, even
in the history Of the late Empire, would be
impossible. Thus Jules Favre, who was so
extreme under Napoleon, is now classed
among the conservative republicans while
NJ Thiers, who was the chief minister of O
king, is now the chief of the republican
alliance.

A FALSE PRErENCE. CE.-Comptroller Green

thousand dollars. To this extravagant amount
the Aldermen object. In order to remove their
objections they are told that none of the
amount can be used except by concurrent vote
of the Board of Apportlonment and
Audit They probably are conversant
enough with the charter to know that this is o
false pretence, and we'll enough posted on last
winters lobby operations at the State capital
to understand that the money in the ''contin-

Mr.. Hawkins at the rate of one hundred
