Tho Republic in France.

Organization of the government, in view of
the new laws, proves rather topsy-turvy
game in France. Two days ago we had the
names of new Ministry, and twenty -four
hours later the announcement that it could
not hold together that the Bonapartists had
broken up the combination, and that Mac
Mahon would resign, and now we have o
rumored coup d'ftat, also, of course, operated
by the ubiquitous and omnipotent Bonapart-
lists. From all of which it appears to be felt
by the parties that the organization of Min
stry on the present occasion is critical
event, and one to be defeated at any cost by
every interest whose claims are not satisfac-
torily recognized in the combination.
The dispatches announce that M. Buffet
has at last consented to enter the Ministry as
Minister of the Interior. This would seem to
be solution of the present difficulty. M.
Buffet has been President of the Assembly,
and is conservative enough for the monarch
lists as well as honest enough for the repubi-
cans Leon Say becomes Finance Minister
most excellent man-while M. Dufaure as
Minister of Justice will satisfy the republican
sentiment. NJ. WALTON goes into the Cabinet,
and, as the mover of the resolution which
proclaimed the Republic, his name will give
strength to the new government. The Due
Decazes remains in the Foreign Office, to
the satisfaction, let US hope, of Bismarck,
while General de Cssey retains the War De-
partment Bonapartists, monarchists and
republicans all recognize that in view of
the very substantial advantages gained by
Ministry to be now made is of supreme
importance. 1t Is made up Of men
of capacity, who, if not all of them
republican by conviction, are men of such
sterling political honesty that, taking Office
under republican laws, they will sincerely en-
laws. In such case the republican system
will get fair trial. and in oil likelihood be
grand success. IT the Ministry had been
composed of men determined against the Re-
public, either by predictions in favor of the
empire or the monarchy, then the new laws
would be administered in such q way as to
secure their defeat, and the republican system
would once more fail and go down.
This is the great issue, therefore, upon
which the present Ministry turns. Another
great piece of good providence seems to have
fallen to France in the acquisition of such
Ministry as We announce this morning. 1t
is the best combination yet made at any time
since the cataclysm of 1870 Every name in
it Is that of a man Of experience. of fair

talent and Of sufficient honesty for the occ".
sion; and it has the great merit OF be-
ing without extravaganza in any feature.
An earnest of the good faith Of the new
Ministry is seen in the report from Paris that

settles. If this programme is adopted it will
show that the Republic has been accepted by
MacMahon in good faith.

knowledged by very liberal annual appropri

gave testimony before legislative investigat.
ing COMMITTEES that he had paid notorious
lobbyman ten thousand dollars to look aftn

ply bill items. The same member of the firm
now gives evidence in the matter of the sub
stitution Of an altered bill to improve Fifth
avenue by the application of poultice pave
ment for the genuine bill reported by the com
mittee of the Assembly From his testimony
it appears that the legislative printers did thu
job for private party, and not for the Clerl
of the Assembly. Mr. Parsons adds,
IF gentleman calls on US and
asks US to print bill, with the Endorsement
that it had been favorably reported by com.
mittee, we would certainly print it, if he paid
for it" This sort of business may increase
the receipts of the firm, but we would suggest
that it may lead to many frauds on tha
Legislature. We should imagine it to be the
duty Of Legislative printing Office to refuse
to print any matter in an official and appar.
emily authorized form without receiving ample
proof that it is genuine and not fraudu
lent document.

phytes who came over to it last year. These
new recruits from the republican ranks are
easily repealed by any seeming Endorsement
OF men against whom they formed unfavora-
bic opinions during our great contest. 1t is
too obvious that the permanent success Of the
democracy depends on their gaining and
holding reinforcements from the party which
kept them SO long in a minority. A sagacious
policy would preclude them from putting
forward men who were made peculiarly odious
70 the republicans during the war, and thus
affronting. old prejudices Instead of this, it is
the clearest dictate of prudence to welcome
and promote men of ability who had o strong
original hold on the republican party. AS a
conspicuous instance of the mistakes made
by the democratic party, we may mention its
substitution OF small rebel general for United
States Senator in place OF Carl Schurz,
who held every valuable principle of the dem
ocratic party, and who would have been
bond of connection between it and the re-
publican converts who are necessary to its
success Had Mr.. Schurz been reelected
Senator from Missouri and sent to New
Hampshire, in place of General Gordon, to
speak in this campaign, he might have saved
the democratic party from this notifying
reverse. There are other similar instances of
democratic mistakes in the election Of Sena-
tors, but We will not refer to them now.
The lesson of the New Hampshire election,
if the democrats would have the good sense
to receive it, lies on the surface. They must
avoid, in the interest of the South as well as
their own party interest, their irrepressible
tendency to Bourbonism. It is sentiment
that does not take with the country. The
people desire a change of policy, but they
are not willing to purchase it at the heavy ex-
pense of renouncing convictions which they
cherished during the war. The democrats
have presumed too much on last years cleo
tons. They ioolishly accepted them as
carte blanche to do anything they pleased, and
are brought to sudden and salutary check.
They must make better use of such power
as they have gained if they hope to be in
trusted with more.
If the republican party repudiates Grantism
it has more than an even chance for carrying
the next Presidential election. The republic
cans of New Hampshire had the sagacity to
denounce the third term in their platform, and
if the party in other States takes equal pains
to separate its political fortunes from the
personal fortunes of President Grant it may,
perhaps, recover in 1876 all it lost in 1874.

The latest mail advices from London con-
tain report of another debate in the House
of Commons on the case of John Mitchell A
motion was made by John Martin, NJ p,
calling for papers to show that the jury which
tried Mitchell had been packed. In this
speech Mr.. Martin made an earnest appeal in
behalf of separate Parliament for Ireland,
the same as is now possessed by Canada and
Australia. The government replied that it
could not produce the papers, and that it
would be bad precedent for the House of
Commons to try over again constitutional
question which had been decided by court
and jury in Dublin. A notable circumstance
was the speech of Mr.. Smyth, who declared,
from his own knowledge, that the statement
that Mr.. Mitchell had broken his parole, in
escaping from Australia was untrue. Mr..
Mitchell has in the meantime delivered lee
ture in Cork upon Irish politics. He was so
feeble that he could not read his address, On
Office which was performed by friend.
It seems to us that Mr.. Disraeli could do no
more magnanimous act than to pardon this
iOAeiy, lecDio oii HALL iiio oHohCC was GULL
mitted nearly thirty years ago. Since then he
has been convict and in exile. His offence
was altogether political Even if he were
elected to the House he would soon be lost
and forgotten, if not trampled down by the
younger and more strenuous men who lead
the Irish party in Parliament. AS great a
government as England can afford to forgive
the political offences of past generation. As
shrewd politician as Disraei should not
make martyr of an opponent.

The proposal of the Metropolitan Rapid
Transit Railway Company to build railway
from the Battery to the Harlem depot has
taken official shape, and the people are asked
to subscribe for bonds to enable the owners
to complete this work. As we have said on so
many occasions our policy is to support every
scheme Of rapid transit until we get the right
one. This road will suit US as well as any
other if the m1hagers are honest in their
scheme and do not mean to trife with the
people, as 30 many railway corporations have
done in the past Its projectors propose to
build an elevated railway with two tracks,
and to have it constructed in from six ia
twelve months. We see no reason why tho
company should not accomplish it.
At the same time the plan that should
be considered now is the connection
of the Greenwich street Elevated Rail
way, which is now running, with thu
Harlem depot We see no reason WIN
road could not be built on Forty-fourtl
street. for instance, connecting.this line with
the Harlem depot, or why it might not ever
be run along Thirty-fourth or Thirty-second
street. connecting with the tunnel under Park
avenue, which could be used by steam en-.
gines. The truth is we have rapid transit, in
one direction, from Thirty-fourth street to thu
Battery, and from Forty-second street to West
chester, in another direction. The problem
of bridging this small space is so simple thai
we marvel there should be any delay about it.
Let us take what we have. complete it and
then assist our friends of the Metropolitan
Rapid Transit Company and all others who
have honest railway schemes of rapid transit.

The verdicts or tho Jury.
The Coroner's Jury in the st. Andrews
church disaster yesterday brought in in
effect three verdicts One, signed by ten
jurymen, finds ~ that the Chief Of
the Fire Department and his chief of
battalion in charge are censurable
for inefficient discharge of duty in not
throwing down the west wall of the Shaw
building before leaving the fire on tho 18th
OF January; (2) that the Department of
Buildings has been guilty of violation Of
duty in having neglected to have the wall re-
moved or made entirely secure in the forty
four days that interviewed between tho fire
and the date of the calamity, as well as in
having failed to warn persons in the immedi-
ate neighborhood Of the danger; (S that the
architect, John B. Shook, erred in judgment
In not having taken additional precautions
for the security or removal of the dangerous
portion of the wall, and recommends the
Mayor to make application for such amend
ment of the Building law as will secure
adequate means of esress from public build
ings. Another juryman Endorses this ver-
dict, but adds on his own account an
additional censure on the construction of the
gallery stairways and the inward opening
doors of st. Andrews church. The re-
naming jurors give a separate verdict oon-
demning the construction of the doors and
stairways, finding that the chiefs of the Fire
and Building departments and the architect
''erred in judgment in allowing the wall
to stand, and placing the heaviest blame
rebuilding the Shaw building.
The duty of the Grand Jury and Of the
Mayor in this matter is very plain. So for
as the former Is concerned, indictments
should be found against all who are de-
clared to be in any degree responsible for
the calamity, and each should be left to
meet the charge in court of justice before
petit jury. The measure Of culpabilty will
then be properly determined The Mayor
has now no choice but to act Immediately on
the evidence and the vefdict, and to
remove the Superintendent of Buildings
If it is really necessary under the law
or under the singular Interpretation put
upon it by Governor Tilden to go through
the farce of formal charges and y
hearing, the notice to the Superintendent
should be short, the trial should be pushed
without moments needless delay and the
certificate of removal with the evidence,
should be promptly sent to the Governor. We
can understand why the Mayor should hest
tate to make removals while the Governor
holds those he has already made in his hands
and neglects 70 pass upon them one way or
the other. But this is an exceptional case, in
which even Governor Tilden will see the
necessity of decisive and speedy action. The
Chief Engineer of the Fire Department is in
the hands of the Fire Commissioners, them
selves under sentence Of removal. But the
head of the Building Department, who is at
once ignorant of the law under which he
serves and criminally neglectful of his official
duties, is in the hands of the Mayor and Gov
ernor, and should not be permitted to remain
q single unnecessary hour in position for
which he is so glaringy unfit
