REVOLUTION IN FRANCE.

The most remarkable fact connected with
the revolution in France, the particulars
of which we give in this issue of the
CHRONICLE, is that the change has thus
far been peaceably consummated, In the
United States, where our Constitution pro-
vides for a change of President and Adj
ministration every four years, the inaugu-
ration of new President awakens no
extraordinary interest. The French have
not been accustomed to such changes.
They have generally come by force, by
chicanery, or by election under extraordi-
nary circumstances, such as attended
the election of President Thiers. But
the peaceful revolution of last Satur-
day is an event in the history
of France without parallel. We
are told that the resignation of
Theirs and the election of the gallant
old Field Marshal, who sank wounded in
an heroic defense at the first onset of the
Prussians under the Crown Prince at
Woerth, was quietly received by the mer-
curial Parisians attending the French
races near Paris. This peaceful phase of
the revolution we say is its most striking
feature.
Whatever else may be said of Thiers.
France has prospered under his admins
tration. She has paid with wonderful ra-
pidity her war indemnity to Germany and
has recuperated from the desolation and
prostration of the terrible war of 1870 with
wonderful vigor. He has been beset by
many rivals and his overthrow is not very
surprising
Marshal Mcmahon, his successor, is a
soldier of the old Empire and probably has
strong sympathies with the Monarchists.
His military fame survives the war Of
1870, so destp@tive of French Marshals,
for he was wounded at the outset of that
struggle in gallant defense against the
eager, confident Overwhelming columns
of the Crown Prince, just starting out on
| their grand victorious march over the
plains of France. Frustrated by a severe
wound in that battle, he escaped the de-
| feats and disasters that followed rapidly
and ended in the complete subjugation of
his countrymen. The future developments
attending the revolution will be watched
with interest.

REPUBLICAN1sM IN OHIO.

The Republican State Convention, of
Ohio, that assembled last week was the
first meeting of political convention of
any of the leading States in the West. Its
ticket and platform are pronounced entire
ly satisfactory 10y the press of the
State. The platform spoke fearIessly
on all leading, live questions. Gov
ernor Noyes, who was re-nominated
10y reclamation, made a vigorous speech
accepting the nomination, in whichthe is
sues of the canvass were tersely but clear
ly met. He said that for sixteen years the
Republicans had been in uninterrupted
control of the state. In that time they had
collected and disbursed nearly forty mill
lions of dollars, and not dollar of it had
been paid out without warrant of
law, and not a cent had been squandered.
He said he did not ask the people to ac-
cept his word for that broad statement.
During the sitting of the last legi
an investigating committee was appointed
with authority to investigate generally as
to all subjects pertaining to the State Ad-
ministration. No limit as to time. This
committee. was composed of able
lawyers and the chairman of it was
the leader of the Democratic party. After
remaining in session three or four months
'and examining everybody it chose, it was
compelled to make report which is GER
tainly very creditable to the Republican
party of Ohio. 1t is clean State, and af-
ter reciting that 100 witnesses had been ex-
amined, touching public contracts, eXpen-
ditures ON public buildings, the conduct of
public institutions, etc., it concludes:
Your committee take pleasure in report
ing that, so far as the election of officers
and their subordinates is concerned, very
commendable honesty and fidelity have
been observed, and that the official con-
duct of no public officer, whether elective
or appointive, has corruption been disclos-
ed.

WE are unwilling to entertain such an
opinion of Virginia as that expressed by
our city cotemporary yesterday morning.
Speaking of the late duel which has created
such excitement in the neighborhood of
Richmond, the Press and Herald says:
In reference to the recent duel near
Richmond, Va, in which one of the duel
lists was killed, the press of the entire
country is demanding that the survivor be
put on trial for murder, and the seconds as
accessories. If this should be done and a
verdict of guilty be found, it would UNI
doubtedly have tendency to put an end
to this relic of barbarism. The only diff
Guilty in the way is, that it would be hard
to find a Virginia jury that would bring
in verdict of that kind. The surviving
principal, who was badly wounded, is con-
fined to his room and the seconds are in
Jail.
Now, we are unwilling to believe that
public sentiment in Virginia is such as to
make it difficult to find a jury that would
bring in verdict for the punishment of
murderers, We know the time has been
when such disgraceful scenes as that al
luded to were enacted with the approval of,
and in obedience to morbid sentimental
ism, which, in the opinion of some, COM
PEELED man to fight whenever challenged
to do so by another who felt aggrieved at
something said or done.
But in the broad light of this civil
liked age, a man is not required to vim
dictate his character for courage, by placing
his life in jeopardy, or by taking the life
of his fellow man. The times do not re-
quire any such concession to a brutal GUS
tom, that would have reflected discredit
on the middle ages. Not only the princi-
pals and their seconds should be punished
severely, but every journalist, and every
one who openly upholds such a practice,
should be held responsible as accessories to
murder, and punished accordingly We
are unwilling to believe that Nirgnians
are so degraded and so low in the scale Of
humanity as to foster a public sentiment
which allows the perpetrator of foul
murder, or those who aided and abetted
in the commission of murderous act, t.
! go scot-free, without mourning any sort o
punishment. We shall look with interes
upon the action of the authorities in tn,
case now under consideration.

come about. If there is a sane man
in all the Southern States who believes
that the immortal Lincoln suffered assas
sination because he had "violated his con-
science" or that Gen. Thomas was "se-
duced by Office to fight against his own
convictions, and as consequence dropped
dead in San Francisco" or that Senator
Brownlow is paralytic because "he cast
his lot with the Aboltionist and perse-
cuted his own people, we would like to
see him produce incontrovertible evidence
of his sanity as well as of his humanity.
We are surprised to see such things come
from Gen. Hill, for we had been led to re-
gard him as a man of at least ordinary
sense, prudence and judgment Such eX-
pressions do the South infinitely more
harm than all the speeches ever made by
Ben. Butler, and we do not hesitate to pro-
nounce Gen. Hill a worse enemy to the
South than Butler ever was.

CHOLERA.

There seems to be some alarm already
awakened about the cholera in the South
ern cities. The death of several parties on
Mississippi steamers from disease similar
to cholera has been the immediate cause
for the alarm. On this subject the Union
and american of the 23d says: 1.-THE re-
ports which come to us seem to leave little
doubt that the cholera, or a disease re-
sembling it very much, has made its APP
Dearance in New Orleans, and cases are
reported occurring on steamboats, that have
recently left that port. We have seen a
private letter from Memphis, dated the
Goth inst, which speaks of several deaths
from cholera having occurred there. The
disease exists in a sporadic form and may
not become epidemic. 1t may not spread,
but our authorities should at once take
steps to have the city thoroughly cleaned
and put in condition to meet the dread dis
ease should it come"

REFORM IN NEW YORK CITY.

1t seems that for the first time in many
years, New York city is to have an honest
government Mayor Havemeyer, elected
last fall with Gen. Dix, on the Grant tick
ct seems to be disposed to carry out in good
faith the reform movement begun by the
overthrow of Tweed and the Tammany
Ring. The present legislature gave a new
charter to the city which in the main is
satisfactory to its citizens. That charter
gives the appointing power to the Mayor,
subject to confirmation by the Board of AL
dermen. Thus far the nominations by the
Mayor, with a few exceptions, have been
generally satisfactory. Most of the new
officers are successful business men
of high standing. If the police, fire
department, docks, parks, chart
ties, and other important departments
of her municipal administration once get
under the control OF the character of men
now being appointed, it will be fortunate
day for the great commercial center of the
United States. Her courts, municipal and
State have been corrupt for years, so much
so, that important business offices have
Deeh IclhoNsu W oOeIOh W eoCaPc INC
black-mailing levied by New York city
Judges and their hackers. 1t would, in
deed, be grand triumph if in New York
city, Tweed, Hall and their Tammany as
sociates, could be succeeded in authority
by honorable, capable business men, far
removed from political corruption. The
influence of such government would be
felt throughout the entire country. We
are glad to see the Times the pioneer of the
press i'll the work of reform, sustaining the
new city government when rightand fear
lessly criticising it when wrong.

The Cincinnati Southern Road.

The new dispensation in the Covington
and Lexington Railroad is of an amiable
disposition in respect to helping Cincin-
natl obtain the Southern connection that
she longs for. There is modest sugges-
ton, in circular elsewhere printed, that
with "bonus of say S6,000,000," we can
have road to Knoxville and Chattanooga
by way of Lexington. Yes, we think we
might! 1t is our judgment that bonus
of $4,000, 600 money, placed right where it
would do the most good, would give us
connection. Now, while it is cool talk of
a 5000, 900 bonus, we think it fit occa-
sion to say that the object of the Southern
Railroad movement in CINCINNATI was not,
so far as we understand it, to build road,
or to bring our funded debt up to respect
able proportions, but to secure Southern
connection not subjected to the Louisville
blockade. Therefore, we think negotia-
tons between the Covington and Licking
ton road and our Railroad Trustees might
be had with mutual advantage.

ALONG THE TIGRIs AND EUPHRATEs.

The London Telegraph has rendered an
important service to mankind in sending
out at its own expense an eminent schOl-
ar, George Smith, of the British Museum, e
to explore the country on the banks of the
Tigris and Euphrates, and resurrect the in
scriptions and relics of its ancient civili-
zation. Under date of April 23d he re-
ports that he has obtained upward of eigh-
ty important inscriptions and tablets con-
tanning curious and ancient Babylonian
legends, together with historic memoirs of
Cambyses, Darius, and Nebuchadnezzar.
He has also made excavations among tn
ruins of Nimrod for seventeen days in pal
aces and temples. He found spacious halls
and fine chambers, ornamented in colors.
This exploration will probably accomplish
more for Oriental history and Biblical lit
erature than previous travellers have been
able to accomplish for years.
