The French Agitation.
MACMAHON AND THE LEFT ARE
HARMONIZED.
The Right say They Cannot Form a
Ministry.
THE BONAPARTlSTS NO LONGER SUP
PORT IMAGINATION.

New YORK, December l3. A Pari, despatch
this A. NJ, says MacMahon has arrived at an un
Outstanding with the left. Wednesday a depu-
tation of members of the right waited upon him
to say It was impossible to form a ministry
from then ranks, and all further attempt in that
direction were useless. The members of the del.
egaion while protesting strongest wish to sup
port the Marshal were most emphatic in express
IONS OF the necessity of coming to terms with the
republicans ana ending the crisis.
The Marshal was deeply moved, and after some
conversation with the deputatIon. among whom
were some Of his staunchest friends, for whose
opinion he had great respect. said there was no
other course left to him bat to resign.
Ills friends were appalled, at the prospect, and
besought MIN not to take this step, and on con-
dition of his retaining the presidency, they au-
thorzed to do whatever he pleased in order to
terminate the crisis
The Marshal still hesitsted. and reiterated his
unwlllingness to retain Office upder the circum-
STANCES, but the delegation urged their views
with great force, and pointed out the danger to
conservative interests of plunging the country
into an I'M etain future by resigning at the pres
ent time. Finally the Marshal yielded, and
promised to summon a ministry for the moderate
left.
McMahon with his usual promptitude at once
put ms resolution by communicating with Du-
taure and giving him carte blanche 10 form a
ministry.
1t is thought Dufaure will undertake the task,
and the long trying crisis which has afflicted
France Tor months, IS at last practically ended.
Recent Indications leave tile room to doub,
that the conservative coalition which brought
about this trouble, is fast dying. The Bonapar-
lists are assuming holder tone, and Legitm
as well as Orleansts, are beginning at last to
realize the fact that the Bonapsrtists alone, are
likely to profit by the prolongsllon of the crisis
The Pail Mall Gazette has despatch from
Paris, which says deputation from the Bona.
parllsts interviewed MacMahon to day and de-
clsred they could no longer support his policy.

THE BURDER TROUBLE.
GEN. KANE OF PENNSYLVANIA, ON
THE RIO GRANDE TROUBLE.
Gen. Ord Before the House Commi, tee
Again.

WASHINGTON, December Is. The House Com
mittee on Foielgn Affairs had before it to- day. in
consideration of the Rio Grande trouble, General
Thomas l.. Kane of Pennsylvania, who recently
visited Mexico 10 connection with railroad nd sci
enllhc affairs. He had very little information to
give from personal knowledge of the outrages on
either side OF the Rio GTande, but animated very
clearly that so far as his information went these
outrages were not oDe-sided.
Ills ideas were rather OF diplomatic order but
he was disinclined to give expression to them un-
til after he had commu nic sted them to the execu-
tive, IN case he might have the opportunity of do
ing SO. He volunteered highly complimen tary
opinion OF Daz.
lie said he had originally disapproved of the
military order permitting American troops to cross
the frontier IN pursuit OF raiders, but afler the or
der had been issued he considered its revocation
would have very bad effect and be construed by
the common classes of Mex leo as an evidence OF
tmdlly and weakness on the part of the United
States.
Gen. Ord was also further examined, the chief
points IN his testimony being that cessation or
dininuton of Mexican raids on the lower Rio
Grande was attributable to the presence of u large
American force, but that revocation of existing
orders would elate the dangerous elements in
Mexico, and cause more raids, and be an obstacle
IN the negotiation OF treaty.

PAPERS.
President Hayes Action Severely Crit.
cised.
HINTS ABOUT HIS ADVISERS.

NEW YORK, December 10. The Herald in an
editorial on Hayes defeat in the Senate SAYS:
Ii Is too early to indulge in conjecures as to the
effect of this Notifying defeat on the future
course OF the administration. Ii NAV or may not
lead TO the dissolution of the present cabinet
Certain it is that the president has been badly ad .
vised and if he is wise he will select better advis-
ers. Having been led into bog and sunk no to
his neck by following will of the wisp, he would
do well TO select a different lantern to guide his
footsteps but the President is q slow man, and it
may take him several days to realize the situation.
lie can blame only himself and mis- immediate ad-
visefs for the position in which he finds himself
we hope he will re-organiZe his cabinet. In any
event let him have nothing more to do with spe-
clous shams, ard try and adm mister government in
The true spirit OF our Institutions. 1t is still in his
power to make successful administration if he
does not exchange one set of bad advisers for an-
othef set OF different stripe, but equally bad. He
must not surrender TO the machine, but to com
mon sense.
The Times says that the President ought to uu
derstand that if large part of the most earnest
republicans in this State and throughout the coun-
Try are either made indifferent or weary BY the
course OF his al ADMINISTRATION, 1t is not because they
do not heartily desire to reform, or do not wish 10
see the standard of political action made higher,
and the business Of government conducted in u
business method
1t is because they cannot see in his acts proof
that he himself understands these all important
OBJECTS, or that he has no definite, intelligent or
intellgibe idea as how he will pursue them. The
mere trading politicians are mistaken if the sup
posed sentiments of the republican party in favor
OF practical and genuine reform is not strong.
If Hayes had followed reform principles rs firm
" as he has expressed them clearly, his strength
IN the ranks OF the republican party would be al
most incalculabe. 1t was on the principle of re-
form Hayes was nominated and elected Reform
within the party doesn't mean pretense of reform
to cover traffic in Offices, and hodge podge of
some good and more bad nominations
