ment that is not monarchical is the largest
patriotism; to keep open the book of fate in
hope of getting Providence to write up a
new chapter of royal chances is the most
statesmanlike. national policy. Again, the
only sure means of keeping the queer,
ramshackle majority, made UP Of Bona
partists, Bourbonists. and the two sub.
branches of 0rleanists, which NJ Buffet
managed to collect about him in a vote of
confidence the other day, is to give it a
vacation. To keep it's contradictory ele-
ments together at Versailles would be sure
to separate them.
What is perhaps more generally note.
worthy than the late temporary successes
of this reaction-such as the passage of the
Buffet vote OF confidence; of the New Uni
yersity bill, and of the vacation resolution
is the evidence which the party furnish of
a weakening in the sometimes admirable
discipline Of the republican parties. There
has always existed considerable difference
between the abstract. thorough republ-
cans-of which Louis tBlanc is the highest
type-and the practical.politc, thorough
reput icans-of which Gambetta is easily
the chief. BY holding hands since last
February they had narrowed the separa-
ton to line; it almost threatens now to
widen to gap. Seeing the present bitter
ness of the fruits it bears-a Sodom apple
of republic, filed with the ashes of royalty
and Imperialism--the old thorough goers
are tired of that shrewd Italian policy of
cuncessitn II and cOncil!ation; always restive
under Gambetia's sklllful guidance, they
are getting so that they kick out of traces
aud break harness with vlciousness that
threatens danger.
Meanwhile Architect Jolly goes steadily
on with his construction of sitting place
for the prospective Senators of the new
government, which, when completed. will
shut out from public view nearly all the
spacious galleries, and the art clothed walls
OF the sometime great national museum OF
versailles; that museum of good and bad
works Of art-the poorest having certain
historical yalue-founded and enriched by
Louis Philippe, and dedicated to all the
gloties OF France.
Apropos of nothing but the general bud.
get debate, Raoul Uuvaf, the Prime Min
lister of the future Emperor-it young
Chiselhurst ever come to what ls not his
own and has brains enough to be ungrateful
and prefer Duval, the fittest to Paul de
Cassagnac, the frienGliest for his man oi
all work-asked the Minister of Foreign AT
fairs whether the government looks for a
settlement with the United States of the
claims made out by Frenchmen for LOSSES
undergone by them during and by cause OF
our civil war. To which Minister Decazes
replied: "The government does not neglect
this business; negotiations are lively, but
there are no definite results; the disposition
of the United States government is Just and
kindly to q degree"
The rain that has fallen so long on the
just and the unjust has at last held up al
the tittest moment, and every day sunlgh,
bas been, pouring countless millions o.
value into the private baskets and stores oi
the French peasant and into the nationa
treasury of France. W. III. ii,
