| RGdicdls-The New York Tribune says PR
| vate letters received here yesterday indicate
| that the movement for a fusion between the
Bonapartists and the radicals IN France is pur
| suing its course, independent of that general
/ ridicule with which the correspondence between
| Mr.. Portals and Prince Napoleon was at first
greeted. 1t is said that M. Portals and his
/ friends feel confident of returning the Prince
| for one or more circumscriptions, in the event
/ n
an uneasy rumo in Paris that there are secret
clauses embraced in the treaty OF Frankfort BIZ
| which Germany can reinvade France in case OF
| French armament in excess of given figure
| which has been already passed, and that this
will be done in of the accession of a legiti-
mist king. This report, whether true not
| vent the accomplishment of the mOnarchical
| programme. 1t is also stated positively that NJ
| Theirs, on being addressed by NJ. Portals in
| regard 10 his movement, answered civilly thai
| they were both working for the same ends
l These facts and rumOrs taken together, though
| they are by no means conclusive as to the prac-
tlcablity of the proposed fusion, still show tha'
| there are many people in Paris who consider il
| by no means absurd or impossible.
REBEL IN THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENT
| Riel, the Manitoba rebel, has been returned a b
q member of the Canadian House of Commons
| Riel, 1t will be remembered, some years ago
| headed an insuTrection against the CANADIAN
| government. Not only did he raise a rebellion
| but under his orders Scott, a man whose oDl,
crime was his refusal to join Rel, was executed.
| Lepine, Riel's "Adjutant General" who was
| the immediate agent in the murder, is no " il
prison awaiting punishment. But Riel is free.
How the government is to receive him is a qQes-
ton which must give them some trouble. He
has at his back strong French influence which
they do not wish to offend. 1t seems, too that a
promise of pardon to the Manitoba rebels has
| been made, but has not been fulfilled. The diff
Guilty, so 1t is said, is that the amnesty was
promised by Lord Lisgar and Sir Clinton Muir
doch in their own right, whereas the Queen has
reserved to herself the prerogatve of pardon
The English government appears undisposed to
gront the amnesty. But ii the Canadian gov
eminent desires to pardon Riel and his confeil-
crates, and his not playing the game OF Spen
! low and jenkins, there can be no trouble in Sc
| curing an amnesty from the Queen.

AN UNFORTUNATE But HONEST PosrMAsr-
ER..The case OF James l.. DunDing, postmsst-I
| at Atlanta, is hard one. Mr.. Dunning has
| held the office for two years. and is a tried and
| honest public servant Some wears ago his
| money clerk, Mclaughlin. absconded with a
| large amount of funds, and the postm aster ha
since been stintiDg himself of luxuries and com
| forts to make up the theft. He had almost
squared bis accounts when his son, James Dan
| ming, McLaughlin's successor at the money OF
| der desk, ran away, leaving deficit of SO 900
| and Dunning, the aged postmaster, declares
that he will pay every cent if il takes him unit
| the enc OF his days. If Mr.. Dunning were l.
vigliant as he appears to be honest his troubles
| might not be so successive and overwhelming.
and he might enjoy comforts and luxuries in
stead OF others enjoying them at his expense.
