Hampton came into power has jus. been held in

were sorry, and thus were shut out of the demo-

The New York Senate has passed very

facernent of natural scenery. 1t provides
that any person who shall maliciously de-
face any monument, building, fence. or
destroy or injure any fancy tree, whether
situated on any private grounds or on any
street. or who shall paint or print upon
any stone or rock anything advertising the
sale or manufacture of any property or

shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor.
and upon conviction shall, for each offence
be punished by fine not exceeding $3.50,

may. however, deface the scenery as

at does not yet clearly appear" says the New
York Tribune, what American interest will be
benefited by the war in Europe unless England
should be seriously involved. If England 10
dragged into the war IAN extremely improbable
EVENT. then the American flag will become the
safest in the world under which commerce can be
carried Cd, and the shipping interests of the Uni
ted States would experience q great revival. All
the idle steamers and ships in our harbors
and those suitable for the purpose now employed
in the less cossting and other trade. would be put
into the trade between the United States and
Europe, and great blow would be struck toward
regainipg American asccndency upon the sea. 1t
must be emembered, however, that the United
States will never regain its commercial ascenden
cy except with American ships. 1t will never
do it with foreign ships. The Americans are the
shipbullders 10 the world and it is only by foster
ing their own shipbuildng and using their own
ships that they viii ever again make their mark
as commercial nation. The merchant marine of
the United States still ranks second only to Ell e
land as il Is.

The French Crisis.

The situation 10. France Is critical The,
dismissal of the Cabinet of'which jules
Simon was the head has been followed
by the proroguing of the chambers for
month. This smacks Of personal, despot-
10 government The letter OF President
MacMahon dismissing Simon brings to
mind the arbitrary manner in which the
First Napoleon disposed OF Cabinets and
legislative bodies when they stood in the
way OF his abiocratic wishes and plans.
MacMahon has now Cabinet submissive
to his will, an army which will obey
him. and hopesto manipulate the elections
which will be held so as to reverse the
majority now against him in the leglsla-
tive body and secure maj ority in his fa-
yor. Nevertheless the republican idea is
strong in France. and the republicans will
not apparently suecumb without desper-
ate struggle The meeting of the Left at
Paris after the dissolution of the chambers
manifested bold spirit in the address
adopted. to be sent out to the nation. In
this manifesto 10 the people they say
France desires the Republic. She said
80 on the goth of February 1876 and she
will say 50 again when consulted. The
nation will once more show that an in
corrigible minority shall not snatch from
it the privilege Of self government. Not
withstandng this painful and unexpected
trial, France will never allow herself to
be deceived nor inundated. Public func-
.ionaries must remain at their posts until
removed by the Government. Council
ors-general and Communal councillors
must redouble their zeal and activity in
behalf of the rights and liberties of the
nation. Finally we, your delegates, shall
again enter into direct communication
with you. We summon you 10 pronounce
between the policy of reactioa and adven-
ture--placing everything in doubt which
has been laborously achieved during the
last six years, and the wise, firm, and pa
cifc policy which you yourselves sane
toned. In i've months at the latest.
France will be able to speak out. We are
sure the Republic will issue from the vot-
ing urns stronger than ever. Bygone
parties will be vanqushed, and France
be able to view the future with confidence
and serenity"
4, At Berlin the crisis in France has Great
cd great excitement. Germany looks on
with the most profound interest, and with
a strong belief that religious intrigue is
at the bottom of the disturbance. With
this French-embroglio and the Turco-Rus-
sian war Europe has enough business on
Its hands for while. We trust that the
hand which would strike down liberty in
France will fail to effect its purpose.
