If President Grant wishes to pardon Avery, let
him not stand upon the order of his pardoning, but
do if at once The report that he is waiting Tor ad

It is fortunate that Mr.. Schuyler, our Secre-

There are strong indications that the French
Senate is becoming less Republican. The de-
feat of the University bill by vote of IA to
139 rendered this evident, since that measure
had been passed by the Chamber of Deputies,
and was strongly in favor with the Republl-
can party. Emboldened by their success, the
Moparchists are now trying TO reject the
Municipal bill, confering local government on
many French towns. Should these rcactlonists

The locality statesmen have an unpleasant
surprise in store for them. The announcement
comes from Washington that President Grant
has made up his mind-and that usually leaves
nothing further to be said-to veto the River
and Harbor bill, no matter when and III what
shane il comes to him. His reason is prac-
teal one, that, owing to the delay OF the
House, WORK cannot be got fairly under way
before Winter will interfere. This Is Kill
ing frost indeed. This bill was marvel OF
the art of {" "log-rOlling." The more 1t rolled
the greater it grew. Even in the Senate, where
party policy, if not public considerations, would
seem to demand a firm resistance To eXiraVa-
CANT schemes emanating from the House, 1t
went on rolling and growing until 1t was
swollen with seven millions of appropriations.

the President will save the country sum al
