Means Committee, and attributed the
present financial distress and the cmbar.
rassed condition Of the country TO our
vicious system of legislation
At the close of Mr.. Kcllcy's speech,

Who IL Responsible for the Surrender
OF Sedan.

PARIS, February l2.-The trial of the
action for libel brought by General
Wimpfer against NJ. De Cassaganac,
editor of the Le Pays, for statement,
made in that journal concerning the
plaintiffs conduct at Sedan, was opened
to-day. General Ducrot, Lebrun, Galifct
and others were examined. General
Ducrot testified that it would have been
possible for part of the army to reach
Mezicrcs if General Wimpticr had not
impedcd its retreat. The plan suggested
by the latter to get through the German
lines WAS impracticablc. No such at
tempt could have succeeded. 1t was the
Emperor who caused the white flag to be-
hoistcd at Sedan. He did so to save
bloodshcd.

Compulsory EducatiOn-Don't Want
the Prussian System.

From the Philadelphia Day, Ind.
But, assuming that our educational
system Is all that its warmest advocates
insis. that it is, there are still valid OBJ
iections to compulsory system, which
would be anti-republican and, in many
cases oppressive and outrageous, to say
nothing of the INNER Sc expense
to which it would subject our
city, if adopted at this time
1t would be an outrageous sbsurdity for
the Legislature of free State TO put the
government OF the Commonwealth in
the place of parents, depriving them Of
authority over their own children and of
the proceeds Of their children's labor
We want no PrusSan policy engrattcd
on our system of laws. If we begin by
adopting Prussias enforced educational
system. we may end with PrusSla's en-
forced military system. These two sys-
TENS are alike in spirit and are equally
subversive of true liberty

PARIS February l2.-In the Assembly
the consideration of the Senate bill WAS
resumed. General DeCissy ascended the
rostrum and said President Macmahon
had not authorized the Ministers to in
terfere with the debate on the constitu-
tional vote, but the vote Of yesterday al
tiers the nature of the institutions proposed
and dcprives the constitutional laws OF
that character, without which the COnser-
vatine interests will be endangered.
The government must defend the Con-
servatvc interests. 1t cannot agree to
Yesterdays resolution of the Assembly,

luton is made final The announcement

lowed by stormy debate. NJ. Charncy-

venge and warned the Deputies that it
was leading the country to al abyss.
He declared that he and his friends
would oppose the third reading of the
bill as amended.

dOux of the Left, providing that each
department elect three Senators. Adopt
ed. This was incorporated with the
amendment Of yesterday which provided
that Senators should be chosen by the
same electors as the Deputies, and the
entire amendment WAS then adopt

first clause of the bill by vote of $50
yeas to 259 nays. The remainder OF the
bill, including the amendments introduc-
ed by the Lett defining the qualifications

was adopted, clause by clause. a mo-
tion was then made to proceed to the
third reading of the bill. This was re-
