The Government of France.

On Monday night last the affairs of France
put on new aspect, by the determination
of IMAGINATION to enter upon policy of re-
sistance. He submitted the following rs q
list for the new Ministry:
Public instruction, NJ BATTLE; Interior,
NJ. De La REINTRY Justice, NJ. DEPEYRE
Marine, La RoNCIERE DE INQUIRY; Public
Works, NJ. BEHU; Commerce, MARQUIS DE
MoNTGoLFIER; War, NJ. DUcRoT; Interior
Finances, NJ PoUYER-QUERTIER Foreign
Affairs NJ. DE BONNEVILLE; Prefecture OF
Police, NJ. PASCAL.
This movement on the part of MAC
MAHoN, which seeks second dissolution
of the Ministry, is exciting much feeling on
all sides, and it is very doubtful whether
peace and tranquility will be preserved.
France is resting upon seething volcano
which is liable to erupt at any moment
and overwhelm the government and the
people in civil and perchance bloody strife
1t is said that the President is greatly ex-
cited and has declared that, not having
succeeded in forming Cabinet acceptable
to the majority of the Chamber, he would
constitute one to suit the majority of the
Senate. If the Senate refused to accept il
he would resign rather than renew negotia-
tions with NJ. DUFArRE, The Duke said
National Republican., 1877-12-12
New District Government.

The initiative is being taken in Congress
10 provide q new system of government for
the District Of Columbia, and we hope il
may result in something that will prove just
and beneiicent to the governed. The past
and present do not seem to have fully met
public opinion or subserved the best inter
ests of the taxpayers. We have had gov
emmcnt partially based on popular suffrage
and one exclusively the creature of the Fed
eral power, and neither so far appear to have
been entirely satisfactory to those who bear
the burdens Of government.
The object now is to take new de-
parture under the most auspicious circum-
stances and prospects available and cstab-
lish the government of this District upon q
basis that shall be just and equitable to all
interests involved. The people are suffering
under heavy debt that, so long as they
have no voice in its creation, they should be
. relieved from by Federal interpCsition and
provision, either in all or in part.
We are now in n sort of flabarynthine govern.
ment that but few seem to comprehend
The first purpose should be 10 find termi-
nation of the business of the existing gov
ernment, that we may have an intelligent
starting point for the new one, which can
be brought to the comprehension of all the
tax payers interested. At present the Fed
erul Government, which rules the District
docs not seem TO regard itself at all respon'
sible for the acts and the consequences oi

he had been sent in the name of the Con-
stitutionalists to make last appeal to the
Marshal to save the country from extreme
measures. He was in despair at the reiec-
tion Of the appeal, and trembled to think Of
the frightful responsibility the Marshal as
sumed.
II is asserted that the new Ministry will
not take part in the debates Of the Cham
ber, but will demand its dissolution before
the coming Of the new year.
On Sunday night the Bonapartist sena-
tors held meeting, at. which several
speakers referred to the events of the 16th
of May last, which were accomplished with
out their concurrence, and they would not
participate in carrying out a similar policy
under the same conditions.
The French press hold the following opin-
ions:
The Constittionnel believes that not only the
