PARIS May !, 1870.
The imperialsts are promoting the Communist
amnesty agitation, because they believe that in the
end there win be trouble about IT, and anything that
has IN 1t the shadow OF a chance they avail them
selves OF most readily. II they can succeed in
creating division among the republican factions
there VIII be an opportunity for new pamphlets in
dcnunciation OF what was so often termed "dema-
gogsm' during the canvass before the last elec-
tons To turn this new excitement to account for
party purposes will be something OF revenge for the
bly, well giving the leaders something to do In
these otherwise uncvcntful times.

which he suffered during the Empire, and nagellat-
ing without mercy all who have ever run counter to
his wishes From Olivier to Prince Pierre Bona
partc, from Theirs to MacMahon, he pierces every
one with his untirng free lance His publisher has
been repeatedly convicted and fined and his editor
imprisoned, but Rochcfort is always invisible
whenever sought for.
