The various actors in the coming
drama of the liberties of France, are re-.
hearsing their parts, the properties are
in readiness, and new effects are pro-
missed, though the scenery may be old.
All things await the rise of the curtain.
That event will happen when The last
German soldier has left French soil.
Then the music, long restrained, will
break forth with maddcning crash. The
Red Republicans will have their mon to
the fore, at once, with torch and axe in
hnnd. The Conservatives will rally
around Theirs, or man of his mould.
Those who recall the glories Of the en-
pire, will beseech of MacNIahon to let
the army make way for the Regent Eu-
genie and her quiet son. And the Count
de Chambord, patient under many dis
appointments, now announces to his
Legitimist friends, that "Barkis is will
in" and that he is ready to. ascend the
throne as Henry V. Indeed, it appears
that they ere ell only too willing to take
the chair OF state, under whatever name
it may be designated. at present, only
one thing appears certain, that there
will bo terrible struggle for supremacy
in France when the German occupation
has ceased. Reasoning from past expe-
rience, the iavorite OF the army is likely
to be the next ruler Of the French.

Not less bitter than the fcuds be.
tween the houses of York and Lancaster,
or those Of the Montagucs and Capu-
lets, has been the lifelong vendetta
cherished in the Cherokee nation. The
rival chieftains were once Ross and
Ridge; later, the family of Downing
seems to be the sole representative oi
the anti.Ross party. The election which
took place in the nation recently was O
Ross victory, and q bloody fight is the
consequence. The report that war Of
determination is imminent, is probably
somewhat exaggerated; but it ia very
likely that many deaths will follow
this outbreak. just as has been the case
in previous instances. White men can
throw no stones at this semi-civilized
tribe. Election riots have heretofore
been the exclusive pastime Of the
proud Caucasian.

first wife, married girl of eighteen,
who, Of course, was only ennrlored Of
the old mans wealth. Sohweinhoff had

have been rather wild. On returning
home after two years. absence, the son,
who was aged twenty-five years, COM
mcncod li0ison with his step.mother.
Schweinhoff suspected the intimacy, and
determined to be avenged. Having ac-
quired proof Of the treachery OF the
couple, he awaited his opportunity. Oa
July S, he took horse and rode to q
country house, taen occupied by his
wife. Entering the grounds, he saw her
and his son seated ut the edge of small
lake, engaged in conversation. He at
once put spurs to his stecd and trampled
the woman under the horses feet. She,
flying, fell into the lake. The son
sprang upon the father, and, during q
struggle which ensued after Schwein-
hofT had been pulled from his horse, he
stabbed him fourteen times in the face
and breast with poniard, which tho ia
ther had carried in his own belt Then
he ran to the rascue of his mistress, and
leaped into the water; but his strength
failed him before he reached her. The
lifeless remains of the guilty pair were
recovered an hour later.

rh, FINANCIAL sky This Morning.

The general financial situation as re-
ported in this mornings dispatches 10 en-
courSging. Except tho suspension Of the
well.known banking house Of HENRY
CLEws g. Co., no failure Is reported from
New York, nor none from any other quar-.
ter except Petersburg, Va, where
some sort oflocal epidemic seems to have
broken out among the banks. The failure
Of CLEws & Co.-who we're deeply In
vOlved by their dealings in railroad secu.
ri,ies-caused a slight renewal Of excite:
ment in New York, but II does not seem
likely to lead to any serious consequences.
The precautions taken by the banks, with
the readiness Of the sub.treasury to throw
currency into circulation by purchase OF,
bonds to any amount required, can hardly
fail to tide over the trouble I'LL all solvent
parties have an opportunity 10 regain their
feet. Tho failure Of those who go under
from insolvency-the mushroom brokers,
Of whom they are many, can be spared
without detriment to legitimate business.
Quiet and confidence exist in all other
importan, business centres, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, &c. It Is
gratifying to note the continued steadiness
in commercial circles. The taking goods
out of bond at the New York Custom
house is not sppreciably affected. Arumor
that two large dry goods houses had failed
spositively contradicted as Is also report
Of the failure Of sundry banks and grain
dealers in Chicago, Itl6oks as Il the real
failures were TO DO generally confined TO
houses mixed up with wildcat railroad
securities and as II time enough had been
gained to prevent the general disaster
which might have resulted from the
stoppage Of solvent houses If insane alarm
had denied them the time needed to col
lect their resources. aI
