Theirs has caused extraordinary excite

tits well known that Bismark distrusts
the Bonapartist and Orleanist parties,
fearing military passions, of the former
and the clerical incinations of the latter.
But he has little confidence in the Repub-
lican party, now that the modcratinS
influence of Theirs is removed.
The truth is that almost all parties in
France, except a handful of Legitimist
fanatics on one hand and democratic
enthusiasts on the other, were restrained
by respect for the power and popularity
of the veteran statesman. What may
happen now that the check is removed is
difficult to predict, but tho grayest APP

An 0ssawattomie Ieremiade.

The erection Of n cheap monument to
John Brown ut Ossawattomic, Kansas,
last week, says the st. Louis Republican,
was the OCCASION of Il loud lamohtatioh
by the orator Of the day, Senator Ingalls,
a lamentation over the nations gradu
al departure from the lessons which John
Brown taught it. The Ossawattomie
orator thinks the country is going to the
dogs because it has grown tired of the
Republican party, and he is constrained
to halt even in his sky-rocket panogyr-
ic of the man Of Uarper's Ferry to be-
wall our recreancy to principles. "For
the past seven years the path OF the ma
ton has been downward" says the sena-
torial orator Z" if either of the constitu-
tional amendments were submitted to
states to-day | do not believe that one of
them could receive the number Of votes
necessary for ratification. 1t has become
unpopular to speak of disloyalty and
treason. Public opinion has grown fab
by A school of political pigmies whom
Providence for some imscrutible purpose
has placed in power are cndevoring to
pacify the country by debauching its
convictions, by asserting that those who
sought to overthrow and destroy the
government arc more entitled to its IA
vors than those who sacrificed all to up
hold it, by attempting to oblitcrate the
distinction between right and wrong and
to repeal the laws of God"
This is deplorablc picture of national
decadence, but when the orator comes to
the Hayes administration and the
postmastergeneral his Kansas eloqucnce
warns up, and he pitches into Mr.. KEY
in the following energetic style.
"Whcn a repentant rebel is Gagged as a
cabinet minister and made the chief at

called out at every railroad station and
compelled to speak his little defamation
like naughty pupil by his master, tell

The funds of the association, after pay
ment of all outstanding obligations, were
ordered to be turned over to the Soldiers
home at Bath, N. Y.
A letter from A, NJ. Clapp of Buffalo
was read before adjournment. In its
conclusion, he says its existence should
not be cut short to meet the behests of
any man, no matter how high or low his
estate officially or politically. "Are we
mere parasites or serfs that we must bow
meekly to official from the White House
