said to have thrown the last spadefuls OF
earth in making the grave of the institution
by which they would have claimed all France
as their property and all Frenchmen as their
submissive subjects But even if these men
had been possessed of ordinary sagacity it is
still doubtful if q monarchy could have been
set up in France, since the whole territorial,
political and social system which the mon
archy created and upon which it rested has been
e6ectually swept away, and there is no founda-
ton for the operaoions of such system. Even
the restoration was o bogus monarchy--a
mere sinaIacrum Of the old splendor without
vitality. and which fell at the FIRST real col
lision with popular power
But, as the monarchy is cleared away and
the moderate monarchy men seem to become
conservative republicans, the issue is made
plain that the only real foe of the Republic is
the party which hopes to set up that hybrid
system of imperial power which pretends to
combine the strong central authority of o
monarchy with the liberal spiritof democratic
laws, but which, in fact, is q vast ring of cor
rupt spectators, who hope to seize the coun-
try in order mainly to plumber the treasury
and appropriate the Offices. It is but natural
that the party which, without any scruple or
any restraint Of conscience, cultivates the
Napoleonic tradition only tor the ultimate
exploitation of the people and their rights,
should excite some apprehension; but it is
encouraging to know that the republicans
recognize the true source Of the only remain
ing danger, and we cannot but believe that
they will be able to oppose it with success,
strengthened as they will be by the accession
to their numbers Of all those who lately be-
lieved in the constitutional monarchy but
who have rehnquished the hope Of estab-
fishing it

Profitable POiitcuess.

The Boston Traveller, in COM
menting on the prevalence of rude
ness, tells the following incident
that happened some years ago
There was a very painly dressed
elderly lady who was a frequent
customer at the then leading dry
goods store in Boston. No one in
the store knew her even by name.
All the clerks hut one avoided her
and gave their attention to those
who were better dressed and more
preteutious. The exception was a
young man who had a conscientious
regard for duty and system. He
never left another customer to wait
on the lady, but when at liberty he
waited on her with as much atten-
ton as though she had been aprin-
cess. This continued year or two,
until the young man became of age.
One morning the lady approached
the young man, when the following
conversation took place:
Lady-"Young man, do you wish
to go into business for yourself?"
Eyes ma'am," he responded, "but
I have neither money, credit, nor
friends, nor will any one trust me-"
"Well," continued the lady, "you
go and select a good situation, ask
what the rent s, and report to me"
handing the young man her address.
The young man went, found a cap
ital location, a good store, but the
landlord required a security, which .
he could not give. Mindful of the
lady's request, he forthwith went to
her and reported.
well" she replied, "you go and .
tell Mr.. - that will be response
be"
He went, and the landlord or
agent was surprised, but the bar
gain was closed. The next day the
lady called to ascertain the result
The young man told her, but added,
'What am l to do for goods No
one will trust me-"
"You may go and see Mr.. -,
and Mr.. -, and Mr.. -, and
tell them to call on me-"
He did, and his store was soon
stocked with the best goods in the
market. There are many in that
city who remember the circum-
stance and the man. He died many
years since, and left a fortune of
100000. So much for politness, so
much for civility, and so much for
treating ones elders with the defer
ence due to age, in whatever garb
they are clothed.

NEWARK MATTERS IN THE LEGISLATURE.

The Board OF Trade of the City of Newark have
passed resolutions deprecating 'any legislative
ton looking to the separation OF the city from the
county Of Essex opposed to the real interests Of
the CITY," This refers to bill now before the
Legislature which seeks to set Newark of from
Essex as a separate county-a measure that If the
people had anything to say about it would be
sure to receive unanimous opposition vote. 1t is
true that there is good deal OF well grounded
dissatisfaction with the small vote of the city the
county Board OF Chosen FreenOlders, but it
is also true that the people are in no spirit to have
taxation ana joDbery increased, as would be in
evitably the case should the county be divided.
Besides the politicians have already begun
schemes OF gerrymandering.
bill has also been introduced in the Legislature
legalizing the payment to Newark Aldermen OF
bills due them Tor furnishing supplies to the city.
Recently batch OF these was vetoed by the Mayor
on the ground that the city charter expressly pro-
vided no such bills should be paid.
