THE FRENCH CRISIS.
The French Assembly will Sus-
tain MacMaho

PARIS, July S.-The setting of the
Assembly opened to-day amid intense
excitement. The floor was completely
filled with Deputies, and the galleries
were crowded with distinguished spec
tatOrs.
Lucien Brun moved that the Assem-
bly, regrets the suspension of the Jour
nal II Union by the Government. This
motion was reiected-S0 to $40.
The Left abstained from voting
thereupon NJ Paris, "A member of the
Right Centre, moved the following :
" That the Assembly, resolving TO en-
ergetically uphold the Septennial pow
ers conferred upon Marshal MacMa~
hon, President of the Republic, and
furthermore, reserving the questions
submitted to the Committee on Con-
stitutional bills, passes to the order Of
the day.
General De Cissy. Minister of War,
and Vice President of the Council, an
nounced that tue Government identi-
fled itself with the motion, aud the
question was taken, and the motion of
NJ. Perier was rejected 10y Il vote of 33l
to 1858
The majority in this vote was COM
posed of tue three factions Of the Left
Righl. Several of the Deputies i'm
mediately moved the order of the day,
pure and simple, which was adopted
by vote of 339 TO 3l5.
1t is considered the last vote leav es
the door open for the Ministry's to
remain in power, but the impression at
the close of the sitting, was that noth-
ing had been settled and the uncer-
tainty which has all along character
lied the political situation is unre'
lieved.
1t is reported that Bouapariist depu-
ties in the Assembly will support the
cabinet in the important division, To
take place in the Chamber to-day, il
it will take anti-republican grounds.
LONDON, July S.-A special dispatch
from Paris to the Pail Mall Gazette
says complete understanding has
been effected between Gambetta and
the Legitimists for a coalition of the
extreme Left and Right.
On vote i'm the Assembly to-day on
the Interpolation i'm relation to The
suspension of the Union the LET
Centre is divided, but majority Of the
Deputies belonging to that party will
vote against the Minister,
The authorities are making prepare
tions to speedily quell any demonstra
ton of a riOtous character that may bt
made.
LONDON, July S.-A Times Pari
special dispatch says that the RICH
and Left Centres have agreed upon
the order of the day, declaring that thu
Assembly is determined to defenC
Marshal MacMahon's powers from
every attack of their opponents. Tn,
Cabinet has still majority of fifty il
the Assembly, but the BOnapartist
and portion Of the Moderate Right
who are able to turn the scale arr
wavering. If the Government is de
feated the dissolution of the Assem-
bly, is inevitable.

PULLING DOWN THE FLAG.

The Jonesboro' Hcrdid and Tribune,

In Che Country.

ORe of the editors OF the CHRONICLE
enjoyed the pleasure this week, of a
hurried trip to Sevierville and thence
to Mayuardville. We found the hos
pitabe people Of the countie- OF Sewer
and Union, especially in the former,
complaining of the long continued
dry weather. \ large scope Of cuun-
try east of Sevierviile, has had no rain
of any consequence for nearly
or quite two months. The cuu-e
quence is, that crops are suffering, rs-
pecially corn. We saw many field,
good soil, that looked very unprumi,-
ing, the corn being not more thnl
twelve inches above tue earth. The
farmers are thresiug their wheat aud
are satisfied with the yield. Wehetru
gentleman remark at NeVlcrtl ,e,
that the surplus wheat of the county
of SEWER Will pay every dollar of debt
that the county owes, il II were prop
erly distributed with that end ia view.
This is gratifying, and we presume few
counties i'm East tennessee can say AS
much. From what we know ut the
business men of Seyicr aud the fam
ers also, they are very cautious, and
never undertake the performance of
contracts which they cannot fulfill
We learn that there has not been
more than two or three financial fail
ures in the county since the war The
cOuHty does not owe a single dollar.
1t has occurred TO n, that if the Cnun-
ty Court would authorize the insu-
ance of a few thousand dollars in the
bonds of the county, the proceeds to
be used for the Improvement of public
roads, the money would be well spent,
and the people would not toe oppressed.
Unless rain comes soon the corn crop
in this locality will be exceedingly
short.
In Union county, the drouth is not
quite so severe, but has already dam
aged the corn crop. Oats are being
harvested and are little more than a
hall crop. The hay crop will not be tir't
class by any means. The fruit crop in
both Union and Sewer is an average
one. The people of the two countie-
do not devote as much attention To thus
crop as they ought to. With proper
attention, theIruit that might he easily
| produced, would command NOR,
money IMAM All lle oJlleI crops, uuuFl
| the present system combined
/ In these counties as elsewhere, the
tax payers are very much dissatisfied
| with the present system Of taxation
| They are honest, liberal and cOnsClen
| tious, but they pay out their hard
earnings grudgingly, when they have
/ good reason to suspect that selfish and
] corrupt men have the handling o
! them. They are particularly severe
on the present inquesitorial assessment
law, which they regard as oppressive
We were glad Of the opportunity e.
mix and mingle with the houJst SEQ
| mauery of these two counties. Thee
still keep up tina proverbial hospital
/ ity and old fashioned honesty ful
which they have always been ul,.iu,
guished. We hope TO be able to visit
