Approximations of civil War

New YORK, April 26.--A special by
cable to the World from London says
dispatches just received there from Paris
show conclusively that the gravest APP
prehensions are felt in the highest poht-
cal and best informed circles of Paris, of
almost immediate civil war. The recog-
nized monarchists have been rapidly
gaining strength, and are determined to
have Theirs thrown over, let the cost be
what it may. An energetic effort will be
made to defeat NJ. Buffa aud elect NJ.

doubtful if the right would be able to
keep Buffa in the presidents chair.
TLiers is determined to force the Assem-
bly, to establish a republic or accept his
resignation should it be offered. Lyons
is seething and is kept from instruction
only by the extraordinary pressure OF
soldiers and policemen. The least
troubles elsewhere win precipitate a
crisis there. In Nice and Savoy there
is good deal of dissatisfaction, which is
actively fostered by Italian revolutionary
agents. Paris appears on the surface
quiet, but the extraordinary precautions
taken by the authorities reveal their ap.
prehensions and prove that there is the
strongest foundation for grave fears.

NEw YoRK, April PA secret meet
ing composed of twenty.seven delegates
from various trades unions throughout
the United States was held last evening
at Masonic Hall. The subject discussed
was the enforcement Of the eight hour
rule. Afler a long debate it was resolved
to postpone action until 1874, as it was
believed the trade organizations would
then be stronger and better able to com
pell employers to comply With their de
mands in this particular. IAN open
meeting viii be held in. this city in July,
when it is expected there will be a gene

trades unions in all the principal cities
in the United States.
The rumor that a disagreement has
arisen between Bischoffheim and the Erie

city for account of Bischotfheim Il Gold
schmidt; and that the feeling between
them and the Erie management is, ii
possible, better than ever. BE condemns
the whole as a fabrication gotten up for
speculative purposes.

POLITICAL, NOTES,

A CORRESPONDENT wants to know how
those ancient Democratic politicians, who
have worn the hair of their heads by buttinl
| against the Republican party, contrive tC
sProut the hay seed on their scalps. We
mournfully admit that they do not succeed In
so doing. They scatter the hay seed pro.
fusely, but 1t Is shed from those shining
gourds like water from ducks back.
THE impression prevails among the
Southern journals which are still devoted tC
the Lost Cause, that Beauregard's recent
accident on the Bull-Run battlefield was q
judgment. They believe that Beauregard's
horse was scared by the ghot OF some Con.
federate soldier, who arose from his gra We tc
rcbukc the general for trespassing on that
sacred ground after proving so recreant t.
the cause for which the soldier and his com.
| rades died.
A VERY sad event happened to u ''patcni
outside" rural newspaper In Ohio recently
Like many weekly newspapers It Inns one side
| printed at Chicago or some other large city
Its editor Is dyed-in-the-wool Democrat o.
the old school, who, rather than give up hi
party or say aught against II, would cut hi
own throat His amazcmeut can easily bt
imagined when, after he had published re-
! cent edition OF his paper, he discovered the
following revolutionary paragraph among
OtucTr, upon tHt patent tlut' Hc great un
| tiquity Of Bill Allen Is beyond question, as
Homer speaks of him under the alias Of
'Stentor.' After Noyes takes some OF the
wind out of him, 1t is said, he will be offered
q situation to act as fog-horn on the Rhode
Island coast" The editor has since apol.
ogized to his astounded readers, declaring
that the disrespectful mention Of the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor got into the
paper without his knowledge or consent, but
they, ignorant of the peculiar way In which
newspapers of that kind arc made, persist In
calling him hereto and backslder.
HERE is an indictment of the Democracy
from the Monticello Qowa) Express; elias
the Democratic party ever acknowledged its
blood-guiltiness or formally disbandedi Does
not the old hostile spirit remain, and are not
the same false theories of government still
heidi Honest Republicans who may feel dis
posed TO go with or sympathlze with this new
Democratiye move under new name will do
well to ask themselves what they will have
gained, or what any cause or principle dear
TO them will have gained, In the election, by
Democratic votes, Of the candidate they may
chance to personally favor. Remember, that
so long as the organization OF the Democratic
party continues IL Is u party still-retalning
the old feelings of passion, pride, prejudice,
anger, modification, reyenge-and the organ
izatlon Is the sign that 1t still cherlshes de-
signs and hopes of success. Remember that
whatever mask 1t may put on, under whatever
gulse II may appear, whether 1t calls itself
anti-monopOly, or peoples movement, or new
party, II is the same old Democratic party,
still controlled by the convictions and prlncI-
pies that made II q party. There Is no new
party"

The Troublo with the Carlists

The great difficulty with the Carllsts has al
ways been want OF discipline. The noun
taineeers, whether Basquos or Galatians, are the
raw material Of the most perfect soldiers. Pa
tieut under fatigue and priVatlon, preferrlng 10
die rather than surrender, they have always,
when well commanded, proved their yalor by
sea and land. Superstitious to q degree, bowling
most abjectly TO tho cowl and crozler; and, while
not scruping TO Kill an enemy, trembling TO dis
obey priest-they do not willingly submit 10

JUDGE WILLIAM LAWRENCE, member Of
Congress from the Eighth Ohio district, made
an able speech last week at Springfield, Ohio
which he concluded as follows!
."The Republican party has done more for the
perpetuity OF the Government more for the civil
material and moral interests Of the people, more
TO secare honesty and fidelity OF administration,
more to elevate and purify the public service
than any party that ever lived. II suppressed
the rebelllon-saved the republlc-emancipated
four million OF slaves-gave them civil and pO-
litical rights, and to-day, with no blot npon Its
record, II asks for your continued confidence and
support. In Its magnificent work since rebellion
commenced, Grant has been nrst In war, first
In peace, nrst In the hearts Of his countrymen.'
First In the means TO save the republic; 1rst In
the policy 70 render Il enduring; right on every
question OF civil and political rights; rst to de-
inand and enforce security for these and for life
and property; nrst In some, and prominent In
urging or preserving all, the great measures
which care for our moral and material interests.
And how with the Democratic party7 II has not
maintained one principle or one purpose for the
last quarter Of century which now commands
the respect Of anybody. Its record Ia one black
and eternal blot on our history. 1t has inscribed
on Its banner: slavery extension;' "Dred
Scott decisiou;' NO power to suppress rebellion;
Hostility TO emancipation Opposition to the
thirteenth and fourteenth and fifteenth amend.
men are bound to respect Opposition to civil
rights and the rights OF suffrage for colored citi
Iens; War men In reAce, peace men In war;
the war q failure;' CAN back your armies.
Its record and Its doom are written, and for l
there 10 no resurrection"

IT WOULD SEEM, from the tone Of the Bour-
bon press Of the South, that the Democracy
Of that section has transferred its former love
for the black race to tho redskins Of the plains
The execution Of Captain Jack and his
fellow-assassins has aroused the most earnest
sympathy for thom, and provoked the most
violent dcnunciatlons Of the Administration
for Its non-interferencc to prevent the faith
full administration Of the law. The editor of
the Raleigh IN. c. Ns,os, undoubtedly fresh
from reading "Beadle's Dime Novels" or,
worse yet, "Fennimore CooPer's Romanecs,"
Is stirred in the uttermost depths Of his chiv.
alric soul with admiration for the 'true
heroic fortitude" Of his rcd friends. To peo-
pic who have not had their heads turned BY
such agencies the career Of the Modoc assas
aims appears In q different light; but now
that the gushing affection of the Bourboni
has been damned IN It's flow toward thei
former slaves and servants, 1t must hud al
outlet In another direction.
