ton. To-day, you still want order and
peace" It would be imprudent to revise
our institutions, before they have been

It is Unnecessary not only to dlsarm those
who might disturb the security Lot
legitimate interests in the present, but to
discourage those who menace it IN the tu-
ture by anti-social doctrines and revolu-
tionary programmes" France "knows that l
neither sought nor desired the power with
which [ am invested, but she may rely on
my exercising it without weakness /; and IN
order that | may fulfil to the end the
mission which is confided to me. The
Marshal concludes by "hoping that God
will help him, and that the cooperation
of the nation will not be lacking to him,
but obviously, even if those aids are
withdrawn, intends to go on. The clear
meaning of the whole document IS that II
the electors will support him he will be
content, and if not, he will resort to force,
and this threat pleases NJ. Buffet. The
Premier forgets, as Marshal MacMahOn
once said, that to play the role of a Bona
parte one should be a Napoleon.
The American Democrats are showing
their old tendency to be governed entirely
by Southerners. Their first step, now
that they are in possession of the House OF
Representatives, has been to propose an
ding Mr.. Jefferson Davis-and they will,
it was believed on Thursday, carry it
through, though possibly with the proyiso
of an oath of allegiance to the Union. The
result has been to revive some of the old
war-teeling in the North, and especially to
exasperate the bitterness about the treat
ment of prisoners. According to a tele-
gram of the 18th inst, one speech by q
Mr.. Hill defending the c%ruelties at Ander-
sonville,~ accounts of which, with photo

throughout the States, was ordered to be
suppressed in the official record. There is

we know of, except this, that the Demo-
cratic party is certain to accept the
amnestied otice-bearers of the Confederate
States as its avowed leaders, and that as
they are unchanged in opinion, they may
prove dangerous to the Republic.
Two remarkable incidents of the Prince
of Wales's progress through India are re-
corded this week lending Jan. 15]. One
was the laying of the fou~ndation-stone of
the memorial which Lord Northbrook is
erecting in Lucknow, at his own expense,
to the native soldiers who fell in the de-
fence of Lucknow. These men, as we
have observed elsewhere, ought to have
been honoured sixteen years ago, and it is
greatly to the credit of.Lord Northbrook
that he has perceived the indecency of the
failure to do it. From a hint in Sir
George Couper's speech on the occasion,
we gather that the Government had been
asked to make the memorial national, and
bad declined. The other incident was
the reception of the descendants of Mira
Jehander Shah, heir-apparent to Shah
Alum the last of the race of Timour.
They passed before the Prince of Wales,
saluting him reverently, but in silence.
That ceremony might, we think, have
well been spared. If these Princes, of
