HENRI RoCHEFoRT, ex-communist, reftl-
gee and agitator, has, since his arrival at San
Francisco, written an article on the French
situation. In the view of M. Rochefort,
President MMahon is bending the energies
of his great mind to the converting of him
self into tripod. He has one foot in the
Orleanist camp, the other in the Bonapartist
camp, and is pining for third whereby he
may obtain a. foothold in the Legitimist
camp. The ex-editor of La Lonterne holds
that the hope of the Republican party is in
the multitude of princely pretenders which
darken the monarchical councils Appar-
emily M. Rochefort is subject to sea-sickness
and hasn't got his head clear yet; for his re-
view of the situation is sngularly confused
and meaningless. Only at the very close
does he show any spark of Gallo wit, and
then he says. eff there is anything in the
world more ridiculous than republic with
out republicans, it's monarchy without a
monarch

ApRopos of the condition of affairs

APRoPos of the condition of affairs in
South Carolina may be cited some observa-
lions by the Rev. James Freeman Clarke dur
ing his recent southern tour. The coIored
man in South Carolina has, as might have
been expected, not remained entirely unaf-
fected by the bad example of his corrupt
white brethren. Colored legislators, after a
years term in the legislature, go home riding
one thousand dollar horses, and after the man
her of certain western representative to
Congress, build expensive houses with
the peoples money. The corruption of the
legislature is indisputable, and all the ras
calities of similar bodies at the North are
openly initiated 1t is but justice to add,
however, that such villainies are not sanction
ed by the colored men generally who would
welcome any practical method of repudiating
them. Thus, at one session of the legisla-
ture the school appropriation was stolen, but
such a commotion was raised among the col
ored men that it is certain that whatever else
is stolen the school fund for the future will be
left intact.

The CANADIAN WHEAT CRoP.-The pros
poets for good crop of fall wheat in the Do
minion appear to be decidedly unfavorable,
The reports from almost every section are dis
couraging, the farmers in many sections hav-
ing given up their hopes of crop, and plowed
their land for the sowing of other grain. The
alterations of thawing and freezing which
have characterized the spring, together with
the scarcity of rain in April, have had a dis
astrous effect. Here and there the farmers
have hoped against present indications, and
their reports tend to prove the wisdom of it,
have improved the prospect greatly, and ai fans
crop is looked for. The grass, also. is unusu-
ally backward, and while hay is very dear, the
probability of light mowings will tend to keep
prices up. Still, the yield of hay may be
greater than is anticipated at present, later
weather having proved more favorable for the
development of all the crops.

The Wisconsin War.

Governor Taylor of Wisconsin is 10 all ap-
pearances, spelling for q fight with the rail-
roads. He has not only caused the Attorney
General of the State to file a petition in the
Supreme Court, asking leave to bring a suit
against the Northwestern and st. Paul rail-
road companies for the vacation of their
charters as violators of the law, but has is
sued circular exhorting the people to pay
only legal rates and prosecute violations of
the law.
Senator Carpenter of that State, whose
term of office is drawing to close, and who
in his advocacy of the salary increase, did
not commend himself to the people of Wis
consin, now enters the field against the rail-
roads for the people of his State, and will be
likely to be the chief attorney if the suits are
pressed. Mr.. Carpenter is a much better
lawyer than Senator, and will prove quite a
match for Messrs. Curtis and Evans. He has
already written letter reviewing the opin-
ions of these gentlemen on the rights OF rail-
roads under their charters. He holds the
railways to be ''public highways" and in sup
port of this view cites the Supreme Court of
the United States in Olcott VS.. Fond du Lac
County, 16 Wallace, where this doctrine is
set forth and is further declared to be the
doctrine of nearly all the courts. Mr.. Car
penter also states two cases, one decision of
the Supreme Court by Judge Nelson, which
affirms the power of the legislature to SO far
"alter'' the charter of a bank as to substitute
individual liability of the corporators for
joint liability. In a subsequent case, Mr..
Carpenter finds that the court held that the
presence of the Preserved power" of State
to alter, amend or repeal charters in the
State constitution or statutes; is equivalent
to its insertion in the charter ITSELF In the
Olcott case just referred to-a Wisconsin
case it is expressly declared that this reser-
walton places in the hands of the State the
control and regulation of the railroads In
deed, the use of railroads can be defined and
their tolls and rates for transportation can be
regulated. If Mr.. Carpenters law will hold
we don't see but that the Wisconsin people
have dead sure open-and-shut case against
the railroads

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.-The Boston
Advertiser, in treating of the subject SAYS
''There is no objection, so far as we are aware,
to such treaty, provided it is really treaty
that gives equivalent advantages to both part
ties In spite of the opinion so confidentally
expressed, we do not think the treaty of 1854
was of mutual advantage to the United States
and the colonies, and we are unable to see what
we could gain in the way of market by re-
viving it,. There were ffty-two articles and
classes of articles which were made recipro
cally free of duty by the treaty of 1854 OF
these Canada now admits thirty-six articles
and classes free, without treaty What are
the remaining articles? The following il a
list: Animals, butter cheese, lard, meats,
poultry, tallow, fruits, plants, seeds, shrubs,
trees, vegetables, products Of fsh, fish oil,
These, with the exception of fruits and vepe-
tables, we are not in the way of selling to
Canada, as she has in general more to sell than
she needs to buy. Fish and fish products of
all kinds, we may add, are made reciprocally
free by the treaty of Washington, so that there
is no occasion for us to make treaty on &C.
count OF that trade. Let Canada propose to
put cotton, wooden and iron goods into a reci-
procity treaty, and it will then be worth consid-
ering; but as long as she confines herself to ar
tlcles OF which she produces an excess and of
which she needs none from us, the proposed
arrangement is liable to be thought one-sided."

Ar tax sale in Charleston, South Caroli-
ma. on Friday, nearly three thousand pieces
of property were forfeited to the State be-
cause nobody would bid for them. Now that
their thieving Governor Moses is restrained
from further peculation, the good citizens Of
that State ought to take heart, enter actively
upon public life and endeavor to remedy the
evils under which their State is suffering.
Otherwise they must soon follow the ex-
ample of Louisiana and beseech the general
government to assume control of the State.
1t is a curious fact that the conduct of native
Southerners, when they come to the surface
as in Arkansas and South Carolina, is so bad
that the performances of the carpet baggers
seem comparatively reputable.

were sent around to examine some of the

will fall due upon his next birthday, the last
installment upon them having been paid.

to provide against the devastation which will
follow the breaking of the Sebago dam.

THE story was current in Bruns-

mouth colleges had signified their willingness
to receive the rebellious Bowdoin students
should the faculty decide to expel them. 1t
is not customary for one college to receive
the expelled students of another, but Am
herst and Dartmouth claim that the Bowdoin
case is an exceptional one, inasmuch as the
branch of study, the neglect of which has
produced the trouble, is not a part of the
CURRICULUM of most American colleges. 1t
