In another place in this paper will be
found the Boston Posts excellent review
of Judge jeremiah S. Blacks article in

the original article are well worthy of the
perusal and attention of every voter, of
whatever political stripe. Judge Black
truly says, "a great nation must not be
impaled upon pins point" The story of
the conspiracy should be kept before the
people, until they have a chance in 1880
to express their will. 1t is well meanwhile

the Assembly met again, MacMahon sent
in a message to the Senate ordering the
dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies,
1.-THE lower house( and demanding the
concurrence of the Senate. A wild scene
followed the reading of the message in
the Chamber, and that outspoken Re-
publican, Gambetta of the Left, cham
pioned the cause of liberty most nObly
and tearlessly, but at the same time
urged a prompt dissolution; otherwise,
he said, the government would be open
to the charge Of dcbasing the electors
He thought the result would be that the
majority will 90 to the country number

don Times correspondent says the debate
extended over five hours and half, and
during that time there was one prolonged
roar Of vociterations. At one point, when
Gambetta said "The power is in suspl-
cious hands" the minister of public works
sprang with threatening air toward the
tribune, and the members of the Right
and Left dashed forward. 1t appeared
as if hand to hand fight would ensue.
On June 22d the Senate voted $50 to
100 to dissolve the Chamber of Deputies,
thus RELOCATING to the people the question
of the perpetuity of the Republic for such
the question at issue amounts to IN Its last
ANALYSIS And as Gambetta advised. the
deputies belonging to the Republican Tn
ion have decided that no Republican can

of the 1863 deputies who voted to censurt

months of excited canrassing for the next

Marblehead waited and dallied 50 long
about water supply, that the town sub
stantially invited the catastrophe that
came at last. A short time ago a vote
was passed in town meeting to take water
from Reed Pond, but the work of laying
pipe has not yet begun. Had this enter
prise been put through at an earlier day,
the fire might have been confined to
small limits, and the loss to hundreds of
| thousands of dollars. Belfast is following
in the same path. When one Of our ire
pressible incendaries shall have set fire
! during a dry time and strong wind, it
will be too late to commence to construct
water works, and our now busy and
| prosperous streets will be long lines OF
ashes and cinders.
