lativs body. Notwithstanding the opposition,
passed vote of confidence in the Ministry by
a majority of ffty-eight votes. The result OF
the decision goes to show that the French
opposition to monarchism remains heaithily
strong. and, also, that France estimates and
approves the system Of confederative democ-
racy which has been initiated by President
MacMahOn.

Wanted-An Opinion on City Govern
ment from the United states Attorney
General. .s.- -

ment from the United states Attorney
General. .s.-.
In these days, when King Buchu exercises
such despotic power in high places and fulmi-
mates on every possible occasion portentious
ukases, it is usual when any knotty question
presents itself to appeal to him as the modern
oracle. Where the validity of a State or mu-
nicipal government is in dispute the Delphian
shrine to which the contestants have recourse
is an important department Of the potentate in
question, generally known as the Attorney
Generals Office in Washington. Thither re-
resorted the warning government Of Louisi-
ana, and, like Jack Bunsby, the potent
chief who has so narrowly escaped the
onerous position of Chief Justice gave
an opinion ''as is an opinion" The city
of New York is now in a similar quandary.
There are two Presidents to that ornamental
body of self-sacrifcing patriots, the Board Of
Assistant Aldermen, and it is not yet decided
which is the legal one. The Corporation Coun-
sci gave his views at length in letter to the
Mayor that the gentleman chosen as President
of the Board for the past year is entitled to
the position for the present. The Mayor
sturdily controverts this opinion in very en-
phatic document, which we publish to-day,
and says that the gentleman in question is not
entitled to his position. Now, where such
great luminaries fail to agree, what remains
for the perplexed people of the metropolis but
to throw themselves upon the mercies Of the
Buchu department Of law ct the national cap
ital? It is not necessary to explain to the in
spired genius Of that legal temple the exact
condition of affairs. He is above such petty,
commonplace weakness as examining into the
merits Of case. Only ask his opinion on any
subject, however sbstruse and complicated,
and, presto! it is given. BY all means,
Messrs. Assistant Aldermen, apply to him for
advice.

The parade of the so-called Labor League
is appointed to come off to-day. If the self
appointed leaders keep their promises they
will lead legions of unemployed through our
thoroughfares. The object to be served by
the monster demonstration is not very appar-
ent, and probably the ideas of the men who
will make up the rank and file are not very
clear on the point We do not charge any
such cloudiness of aim against the leaders
are keeping close watch on their own in
terests. So long as these men keep within
the law they have the right to travesty the
language of European socialists but when
they pass or threaten to pass from the mere
enunciation of unwelcome opinions to the
exercise of terrorism over the city govern
ment they come into conflict with the
law. Now we, in common with all
well-disposed citizens will insist that
the letter of the law shall be strictly observed
by all parties and all persons, whatever be
their rank or station. It appears that the
with the route laid down for them by the
police, and intimated their intention to march
down to the City Hall without permission,
and even in defiance of the orders Of the
police 1t may be well for the more violent of
the agitators to remember that by law the
police have the right to regulate, and even to
prohibit, the march of professions through the
streets of the city. This power is delegated
to the Police Commissioners, with the under
standing that they will use great discretion in
having recourse to their extraordinary au-
thority. Itwould be grave error on the part
of the Police Commissioners to adopt meas
ures that might appear unduly harsh towards
the promoters Of the proposed demonstration.
The leaders of such movements profit by
unwise efforts to suppress them. They be-
come important in proportion to the severity
Of the measures adopted for their overthrow.
Whatever might tend to give these men the
air of martyrs ought to be avoided If they
violate the law, Of course they must be pun
ished as the law directs; but the authorities
should be careful to avoid any action which
| might show disposition to treat these men
with exceptional severity or deprive them of
any supposed right which other citizens would
be allowed to enjoy. The best way to deal
effectively with agitators of the Labor League
class is to treat them with contempt. If any
riot or violence should be attempted the
police may be trusted to restore order.

leaves them to the Secretary Of the Treasury,
Just as he does foreign matters to Mr.. Fish.
He is in position to take the responsibility
when any credit is to be obtained from doing
so, and to shift it on to the shoulders of his
subordinates when there is any difficulty to be
met or discredit to be endured.
The difficulty with regard to the national
fnances-between supplying the administra-
ton with the money it demands and avoiding
taxation, or increasing the public debt-lies

are only the fit victims, in the way OF " of

office-holders. Each department, being desii
Gus, too, of maintaining its force of employees
and exhibiting efficiency, wants the largest
it can get. Besides, there is
always reluctance to reduce the number of
employees or the patronage once conferred.
1t rests with Congress, and at first with the
Committees on Appropriations and Ways and
Means, to force upon the department that
which they are unwilling to do. But there
should be no mere nibbling at superfuous ex-
penditures. A thorough reform is needed.

If the people of this country cannot stand by
the results of clearly pronounced judgment
at the polls, if that judgment is to be set
aside on one pretext or another by anybody
who may see chance for success, popular
government is fraud and a sham
In order apparently to make the case an
exact copy throughout of the Louisiana case
the usurpers have called upon the general
government to support them with troops in
their attempt to throttle the State In an
swer the President says: --s'The call is not
made in accordance with the constitution Of
the United States and the acts of Congress
under it, and cannot therefore be granted"
1t appears that the difference the Executive
sees between Texas and Louisiana is in the
form of the call for troops. No essential
difference exists in the principles at issue In
both cases the beaten party disputes the valid
ity of an election, and, having conveniently
disposed judges to call upon, covers usurpa-
ton with gloss of legal formalty and APP
plies to the government for force to sustain
is villany. We are not disposed to inquire
90 curiously into the motives for good act
It is q great deal to have the President do
right, no matter for what reason, and for his
refusal to stamp out the political vitality of
.he state of Texas the country will be thank
iui yet 1t naturally suggests considerations
VI tne case In which the President did not re- |
iuse 70 send troops and of the peculiar posi-
ton In which bis refusal to aid usurpation in
Texas places him with regard To usurpstion
