The fear of military service in France
often leads conscripts TO employ various
ingenious devices to escape from their
tolls. A coRscript not long ago, ac-
cording to one of the French papers,
feigHed paralysis Of the rights arm. After
all other means we're exhausted to ex-
pose the fraud, it was proposed TO am
putate the useless limb, in the hope that,
rather than be manned for life, the ma
lingerer would confess that he was sham
ming. He was accordingly conducted
TO the operating room, where there was
made an imposing display of the requi-
site instruments. The tourniquet was
applied, the knife was in the hand Of the
surgeon, but still the conscript did not
finch; and it became necessary to in.
vent some excuse for not proceeding
with the smputation. This was done By
directing his removal TO a neighboring
hospital. To get there ariVer had to be
crossed, and it was arranged with the
attendant that at a given signal the con-
script should be pitched into the water.
The scheme was carried out, and the I'M
fortunate conscript suddenly found him
self compelled either to sink or swim.
For some time he managed to keep HIM
self above water with his left arm; but
at last he gave in, and struck out man.
fully with his right arm to save his life.

prevail and destroy our government OF
the form of the government, these two
great opposing principles OF Federal and
State supremacy will exist, TO spring
into life whenever there are great emer-
gencies ana great issues to call them
forth. Indeed so long as our govern
ment is Federal in form they will under
lie all our national political movements
and color our State politics. Inc TWO
opposing principles OF local sovereignty
absolute. and Federal sovereignty ALSO
lu,e are the extremes, The trle line
upon which the government was intend
ed to run lies between and accords q
qualified sovereignty to both, or rather
divides the sovereignty by dividing the
objects about which it is exercised.
The reason for the apparent agreement
of parties is not any coincidence Of
principles or change Of view concerning
the formation and structure OF the gov
srnment and the relative powers OF the
State aud federal governments, but in a
lack OF issues to exhibit those differ
ences of abstract opinion. Two South
ern States still afford some indication,
but so lar as official u~ttersnces or plat
forms are concerned, the treatment OF
those cases ought to be the same by both
parties. The Republican party has been
compelled to recede from the extreme
national position which would demand
continual federal interference. Besides,
these States afford a transient issue,
which, in any event, cannot last o great
length of time The Republican party
is still, however. the repository of the
national idea, and the Democratic party
still contains the principal o. local SOW
%ereiguty. Upon these two general prin-
eiples, whatever the issues that may
spri1g into existence, parties will be Ii
unless we are to expects destruc
ton Of a form Of government which
gives rise, Inevitably, TO those principles.

Grant, Responsible.

The defeat OF the popular will in the pre-
sidentiaI election is due to the tyranny OF
General GRANT. Louisiana would have had
an honest and capable Government, but the
us,lrpation of General GRANT in turning
out the MCENERY Government, which had
been elected and installed by the people OF
Louisiana, prevented it. The Government,
with KELL oGG at its head, then forced upon
the people kept in operationethe machinery
Of supervisors, returning boards, and the
frauds which, under protection OF the Fed
eral soldiers, reversed the voice Of the State
and dictated President to this great repub-
lie. The midnight order of the yillainous
Judge DURELL long survived the official life
OF that wretch. He lost his office, and the III
terfercnce of the Federal Executive IN LOU
isiana was cenSured by Republican and De-
mocrat, and even GRANT seemed to acquiesce
in the Justice Of the ceusures; but, true to
his inyariablc habit, he. surrendered no.
thing. He held OH like a bulldog, never
permitting the people Of Louisiana to re-
gain their right to self-government.
WHEELER, the Republican Vice-Prcsident,
denounced the Louisiana frauds, and he Is
now himself the creature OF those frauds.

TAKE 100000 TO COUNT In Nicholas
Washington, February I7.-Before the
Privileges and Powers Committee Duncan
+. Kenner testified that Governor Wells
told an untruth when he said he (Kenner)
offered to bride him (Wells) to cast the vote
of Louisiana for Tilden. During the long
conversation Wells said he must be re-
warded, but did not mention the sum, as ne
had not consulted Tom Anderson. Atsubse-
auent interviews Wells said Anderson
wanted 100000.
Kenner said this was ridiculous. Wells
said wait a few days longer. Subsequently
Wells said he could not give fair count,
but would retain enough votes to save
Nichols for 100000 in hand. Witness re-
piled that he had not that sum. This closed
negotiations.
The box OF papers said to cover all the
Louisiana election returns is four feet long,
two feet wide, and two feet deep. The pa.
pers are useless now, unless they can be
brought to bear on the Stale government OF

The Disorganized State Governments.
The beasts OF prey who have been held
back by the refusal OF General GRANT to
decide the cases OF the State governments OF
Louisiana and South Carolina are very i'm
patient, and have been urging the President
to unlock the treasures Of the two States to
their INVASION GRANT moves not as yet,
and it is supposed he will leave the yeXed
questions to his successor. "a
And what will he do about it, this Presi-
dent HAVEs?: We incline to the opinion
that he will endeavor to ailay the public ex-
element by some measure that will give
relief to the responsible and capable people
OF both the disordered States. Certainly it
will not tend to make his administration
peaceful II he attempts to take upon his
shoulders the rogues and barbarians Of the
southern States. Yet JOHN SHERMAN nomi-
mated him and may be supposed to be his
friend and guide aud JOHN SHERMAN will
hardly give advice that MORTON will disap-
prove. II their counsel prevails President
HAYES will have chance to crafty his. phi
lanthropic feeling for tho "poor negro"
and the carpet.bagger as well. Yet how
different should his policy be il he values
rightly the means for the pscification of the
nation and restoring contentment and pros,
parity to the Southl
The people will have an carly display OF
what sort OF wisdom he has on this subject.

THE FLORIDA NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Stearns testified Friday before the special
committee investigating the employment
of troops in the South that there were
demonstrations Of violence in Florida
during the election excitement, but he
could not say organized bands did
it, though it looked like concerted ac-
ton. The extra troops were sent to
Florida by the Secretary OF War. Witness
did not make any formal requisition for
troops, but did send dispatch to Secretary
Chandler at New York mentioning the adj
visibility Of having troops in Florida.
There was 10 time, the witness further
stated, when he could not quell any dis
turbance with his own militia, and he gave
no intimation to the authorities to the con-
trary. Thus does the truth gradually come
out OF the mouths Of the tools OF the revo-
lutionary political cabal headed by 4. Chan
dler. The evidence OF this Republican
Governor is enough OF itself to show that
all of the Florida case, as worked up by
the Republicans, was but wicked and
most disgraceful put-up job, in which
Chandler and Secretary-of-War Cameron
were the head devils.
