When President MacMahon spoke Of appeal
ing to moderate men of all parties he hardly
intended to include NJ. Gambetta in that
category. There is no doubt, however, that
if the present Conservative Ministry remains
in power, it will be. to great extent, owing
to the moderating influence of that deputy.
The declaration which NJ. Buffet read to the
Assembly yesterday was well adapted to satisfy
the timid men of the country. But it seems
as if, in the matter of concessions, everything
in that line is to be done by the Republicans.
The declaration is as thoroughly in the inter-
est of the Right Center as if it had been
drafted at one Of its party meetings. The
statement tnat the state of siege cannot
be raised until the press laws are mOdi-
fed, and that the Ministry will sub
NIT bill on this subject indicates that
there are to be the same stringent measures
against the press which have heretofore dis
graced the Government The new Ministry
even shows as much distaste for the word Re-
public as the Duke de Broglie ever did. 1t is
NJ. Gambetta who is likely to come to the re-
lief of the Ministry and explain to the dis
satisfied Republicans that the Ministers are
probably not as bad as they appear. The
least the Conservatives could do would be to
recognize that he has placed them under heavy
ohliuatinns

The residents Of Murray Hill. who have pro-
tested to the Commissioner of Public Works
against having to pay water taxes and get no
water above their first stories, have not spoken
too soon. 1t is only the other day we were
told that four inches CT water were running
over the Croton dam. Under these cream
stances it is hard to see why water famine
should prevail throughout the region OF the
city which pays the bulk of the taxes. In
hundreds of the best houses there has not
been for weeks any running water above the
first story.

Senator Cbristiancy has afforded the country
most agreeable surprise by giving utterance
to several new and striking thoughts on that
threadbare subject, the Louisiana case. HIS
speech in the Senate yesterday, although his
first effort before that body, places him at
once in the front rank OF American
men of the present day. With the impair
TALLY of judge he reviews the testimony in
the case, weighs the arguments on either side,
and submitting them to the test OF sound
law. arrives at o decision which is the logical
sequence of his reasoning. This conclusion is
that there was no legal election in Louisiana
in 1872, and no legal governpent has been
installed since that election; that the election,
canvass of the votes, and pretended
installation of the officers claiming to
be elected wero equally void both as to
McEnery and his Legislature and Kellogg aud
his Legislature. Of course, therefore, Pinch
backs claims to seat in the Senate are de-
MED as being utterly without foundation in
law. Similar conclusions were reached by the
majority of Senate Committee, and were
presented by the Chairman. Senator Carpen-
ter, two years ago, but we doubt whether the
argument and conclusions have ever been so
forciby stated. A full report of Senator
Christiancys speech will be found on our Sec
ond page.

OF course the telegraph companies object TO
the bill requiring them to carry their wires
through our streets underground. Probably
they would prefer 1t. if instead the city should
agree to relieve them Of tho bother OF putting
up poles and erect for them system or
piers on which they could string their wires;
while with the money thus saved they could
make such show in dividends as to warrant
o further watering of stock. But of tho prac-
ticabihty and ultimate economy of under
ground telegraphy in large cities there is no
doubt in the mind of any impartial expert.
The system has long been in use in London
and Paris, and it is only question how much
longer the people of NewYOrk are willing to
lag behind and to have the safety OF the city
imperiled during every storm, and the beauty
of the city constantly disfgured to save the
telegraph companies from little expenditure.

GREELEY. Col March II. 1873.
To the Editor Of The OXFORD DemOcrat:-
wish TO say something In this letter
concerning the buffalo Of this vicinity.
The time was when the buffalo roamed
the Cache Ia Pobdre valley but the
older settlers say they have not been
here Tor over fifteen years. When hunt
ing in The mountains, some fifty miles
west OF Greeley. | saW numbers OF buffalo
skulls, and upon inquiry. was told that
the INDIANS say the buffalo formerly
sought the mountain valleys, Tor winter
retreat; but that some forty years ago
fearful snow storm came, covering the
ground TO such depth that the buffalo
could not obtain food or escape 10 the
plains, and every one perished. II is
said the Indians only escaped starvation
by eating their ponies.
Since 1871 our hunters have had TO 60
not less than twenty miles down the
Platte, TO find buffalo. But when the
hunters start out for them, they travel
until they find the game, whether the
distance be twenty or two hundred miles.
In the summer the buffalo generally
range southwark, crossing the Kansas
Pacific r. r. in such immense herds that
trains are frequently delayed by them.
At one time, during a great snow'storm
a train was surrounded by them Tor many
hours. the buffalo seeming to think the
,rai in a very good defence from the fierce
wind that was prevailing at that time.
At one place l counted one hundred
buffalo carcasses, all within short dis.
tance of the track. As they were not
skinned, presume they had been shot
down for sport.
Abou. October the herds begin 10 return
