The RED AND THE WHITE The crisis
in France assumes new and interesting
phases. The Left Centre, or the resolute
republicans who follow NJ Theirs. deem
the Bonapartists strong enough to or
ganize against them although what the
friends of the Empire can do but in
trigue is a mystery to us. 1t is amusing
TO see Jules Favre, the extreme republican,
proposing to unite with the Extreme Right TO
effect the dissolution of the Assembly Ex-
tremes meet, even in France but it is odd to
have the descendants Of Terror joining hands
with the followers of the Bourbons to effect
coup dttat. This alliance, or rather the dis
position of a man like Jules Favre to form it,
shows the depths into which French politics
have fallen. What these contestants want is
revolution. Out of the revolution the royal
lists expect the king, the radicals republic.
The best solution for France would seem to
be the proclamation Of the Republic on the
part of MacMahon and the dissolution of the
Assembly. MacMahon would make as good a
President of o republic as France could want
and republicanism generally attains healthier
growth when it begins in conservatism.

REAL ESTATE IN THE WEsr.-The Chicago
journals complain Of the stagnation in the
real estate market and the great fall in val
ues. This simply means that prices have
been too high, tina. they have been falsely
supported. The truth is, we presume, that
real estate is finding its value

Although Mr. Green has been careful to
"extend' the bonds and stocks as they fall
due beyond the time he is likely to remain in
charge of the city finances, if from the present
moment we were to ''pay as we CO. the tax
alton of next year would reach forty-six or
forty-seven million dollars, calculating the
estimates of the depart tments, the State tax

we shall no doubt 'bridge over in 1875, as
We have bridged over in 1872, 1873 and the

Decoration Day.

Yesterday was 30 universally and SO enthusi-
astically observed as Decoration Day over all
the Northern States that it may be regarded
as a settled matter that the Thirtieth of May
will become like the Fourth Of July, grand
national holiday Of the American Republic
For some years after the war the decoration
ceremonies seemed unwise, because they kept
alive the memory of strife which many re-
gretted and which not few wished to forget.
AT Arst Decoration Day had the appearance
Of an annual insult offered by the victorious
North to the conquered and humbled South
For this reason many true Union men-men
who fought and bled and otherwise made
great sacrifices for the conservation of the Re
public in all its integrity-regretted the annual
ceremonies, and hoped that Decoration Day
would cease to be generally observed. As
they had saved the Union by blood and sacri-
fee, they did not wish to disturb the Union
which was saved by unnecessary ceremonies
over the departed dead. Time. however, has
worked a cure which the philosophic Unionist
did not deem possible. The enmities begotten
by the war are dying OUT North and South
now cordially shake hands but the day of
decoration becomes more and more national
holiday. The flowers Goods jewelry and
the playthings of children" as De Quincey
beautifully called them-are sprinkled no
longer over the graves Of the Union soldiers
alone, but over those also who. if less wisely
not less bravely, fought on the other side. In
few years from now ali the enmities OF the
war will be forgotten; but Decoration Day
will remain; and the opportunity will annu-
ally be given for the indulgence of those ten
der sentiments which will ever be cherished
by many towards struggle which. though sad
and sorrowful while it lasted had glorious
and beneficial result If the Fourth Of July
commentaries the birth of the Republic the
Thirtieth of May will forever be associated with
its salvation. Our reports of this morning
show how generally the day was observed; and
the propriety and good taste which charac-
terized the ceremonial observances do credit to
the enlightened sentiments of the American
people

The Mill RIVER DISASTER INQUEST brings
out more and more damaging testimony as to
the well known insecurity of the reservoir
dam. Mr.. Bassett, the contractor was re-
called yesterday, and after being put to the
test by searching questions, he admitted that
both ne and his partner had entered on the
work ID the belief that the dam might give
way, even if built according to the specifca.
tons. This is an astounding admission If
Mr.. Bassett and his partner ever thought of
the terrible consequences that might follow
the breaking Of the dam they we're guilty Of
great crime in not making the fact known,
OF in not refusing to undertake such danger
Gus work. At any rate they were guilty of
most shameful recklessness. This terrible
disaster and tue evidence elected show the
necessity of laws, where there are none. to
punish both the proprietors and contractors
of dangerous structures.

MORE CRIsfEs OF BLOOD IN THE SOUTH
WEST. The body of a former deputy sheriff,
Winn Lake, of West Tennessee, was found
yesterday morning about two miles from
Memphis, in a horribly mutiIated condition.
The head was beaten into shapeless mass.
Lake had sold property the day before, and
had money about his person. 1t is thought
he was murdered by two negroes who we're
seen with him. News comes at the same time
of q terrible tragedy in Mississippi county,
Arkansas. Two brothers named Clair went to
the house of q planter, an old man of sixty,
named Campbell, and in the presence of his
family killed him with shotgun and rifle
The murderers were arrested. There is, as
may be naturally supposed, great excitement
in the neighborhood over this fearful crime.
We have savages in the midst OF our civiliza-
ton Us well as on the unsettled prairies.

LITTLE Rock. May 9.--The railroads are
interrupted to stop recruits. Four Brooks
ties (nrgrocs) were killed yesterday. The
Baxtcrit"s are confident of quorum OF both
Houses Of the Legislature on Monday.
MENrHIS, May 9.-At 9:05 this morning
the Little Rock wires went down, and it is
now Impossible TO communicate with the
city either direct or by 81. Louis or New Or
leans. At last accounts lighting Was going on,
and tie supposition is that the lines all have
heeu cut or the telegraph Office seized. Cap
tain Lane Houston. who was killed yester-
day above Little Rock, was formerly super
ei>ing Inspector OF steamboats, at this port.
WASn1SGroS. May 9.-The representatives
of the Arkansas factions are in conference
with the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. If they fail to
come to an agreement the Attorney. General
is authorized TO issue orders. The ncgotit,-
tons will not close untii midnight. There
are intimationS that Williams leans towards
Baxter. There are seven million railroad
bonds involved. i'll which it is said the Ar
kansas officials have slice. The source of
trouble seems 10 be that Baxter was retrac-
tory abou, issuing them.
