lishcd by law, and to pass certain
acts stated by Mr. Gray, as would give
the country all the currency it needs, and
for which it can give security. The

that they were now coming toward ac-

DIR. Gray laid before President
Grant the resolutions and memorial of
the Faneuil Hall meeting, ''reading the

THE SEPTENNATF.

The Pail Mall Gazette prints Gu.
rious statement to the effect that, in the
event of certain elections going against
the government, Marshal MacMahon
would appeal to the country with the
question DOCS the nation confirm
my election as president Of the rcpub-
lie for seven years? Yes or no ~ The
marshal entertains hope that the vote
would be in the affirmative, and that
with such a vote he could afford to
summon new assembly. Without
this support new assembly would be
a dangerous experiment. The chances
are that the vote would be largely re.
publican, and not disposed to respect
the will Of its predecessor. But if the
nation confirmed the marshalate he
would only have to change his minis

teresting question. The assembly
could recall Henry ", or there would
be a rlcbiscitum asking France whether
she preferred Bourbon, Bonarpar,e or
republican. Without some expression
from France of her confidence in the
present government it is little more
than scandal, and we can well under.
stand the marshal's uneasiness. His
power comes from an assembly which
long since lost the confidence of the
people. 1t is a government without a
root. In fact, the only governments
that seem to have a root in France arc
the republic and the old monarchy.
