"act truth: among the upper classes, VINO are
preoccupied with anxieties about order, ana
"who are perhaps right, there is some appre-
"hension and repugnance; but among the
"nasses the Republic has an immense MAJOR
city" What was true then is true to-day Inc
morbid apprehcnsions OF the President are
not shared by the nation. They know
that the Republic is not the Commune, and
that Republicans do not attack morality, re-
ligion, property and the foundations OF soci-
ety. If Gambetta inspires their enthusiasm
Theirs has won their confidence. 1t was ne

score with Germany. If President MacMahon
chooses to resign rather than face the kepub-
lican majority in the Chamber, Theirs, VINO
made peace abroad and restored it at home
can fill the gap, and France knows 1t. Inc
sagacity of the veteran statesman is worth
more to the Republicans than the rhetoric OF
the second generation.

fair progress In an official report the Minister of
Commerce states that the buildings will be COM

pected-and that space has been allotted to French
exhibitors and to every nation which has applied
for it, Prizes. he says, will be awarded in accord
ance mainly with the rules followed at the Exbibi-

Frenchmen. Among the prizes for general industry
will he 100 large ones in money, and 1000 gold and

GREETED that this country has practically done moth

The Democratic Convention in Maine declared
that Mr. Hayes holds his seat by the most mon
{" strous political fraud recorded in history; ana
Mr.. williams the Democratic candidate for Govern

puage to mean that Mr.. Hayes has nm excellent ana
nnimpeachable title to the high Office which he oc-
cupies Some Of the organs are taking energetic OK
ception to Mr. WIams's hermeneutics, and charge
him with wrestling the Democratic scripture anu
outraQ1ng the sentiment of the united Democracy Oh
Maine. But the organs ought to remember IN ex-
formation of Mr.. Wiliamss offence that nc Is
only an amateur Democrat. after all lie
has not yet become so Thoroughly luentheo
with the party and the partys methodS
that he can smother all those truthful and honor
able promptings which are indigenous TO the
ordinary human mind. As general thing man
who has been Republican for years and mas Dut
recently been perverted, can hardly be trusted TO
write letter accepting q Democratic nomination.
or even to offer exegesis of Democratic platform
which will not contain scntillations OF TRUTH
IL the moss-baclIed Democracy of Maine were
really anxious for q candidate who would do moth
ing else but lump up and down and shrek - fraud"
until the close of the polls next month, they ought
IN have selected a born Democrat who has never
been born again, or an original Republican whose
affections had suddenly turned rancid When Lie
missed the Office he was reaching after.

The determination of Seryia to declare war
against Turkey greatly improves the Russian
prospects. With moderate financial aid, Prince
Milan can place 10000 men in the field,
at positions where they can do more to
embarrass and alarm the Turks than q
much greater army in Central Bulgaria.
His forces will be at liberty to advance to-
ward Nissa, to attack Widdin, and to operate
generally in the rear of Osman Pasha's
great army now holding Plevna. Any Of
these movements would occupy the at
tention of a large Ottoman force, en-
aiding the Russians to act with greater
vlgor against Mehemet Ali and Suleiman
Pasha. In concert with the Russians, the
Servians are likely to prove efficient allies
and redeem the reputation they lost in the
last war; The suflerings which they endured
at that time will likewise incite them to at
tack relentlessly their ancient foe Austria
may take umbrage at the new alliance, which
brings the scene of hOstlities near her Dor
ders, but she will doubtless wait for greater
prOvocation before she even mobiles her
army.

The Georgia Constitutional Convention has I'm
ished its abors and the people will vote upon the
ratification Of the new instrument on the second
Wednesday of December. Apart from the black
blot of reputation, the Constitution appears to
be n tolerably good piece of work, but 1t may be
doubted whether on the whole, it is much better
than the old one. The only features which can be
claimed as notable improvements are the provisions
for heavy reductions in the expenses OF the State ana
County administrations but even these are assalIed
on the ground that the economy is too trenchant IL
is already evident that the Constitution Is going
to encounter bitter opposition. The railroad nu-
ence the Atlanta influence. and the otlce-holdng
influence in the Democratic party are arrayed
against it; so are all friends of projected public
improvements which seek State aid. The Repubh-
can vote will be sodly hostile because 1t had no
share in framing the instrument, and because IL
naturally prefers the old of its own creation.
Now that so many Democrats are interested IN de-
feating the Conventions work, there is prospect
that the Republican vote will be fairly cast and
fairly counted If this is done, the new Constitution
will be beaten, and the people Of Georgia will have
TO live while longer under the old one, which, after
ALL seems to be seriously Objectionable only because
it contains the word ''rebei,' and was constructed
by "carpet-baggers and niggers"

however, have certainly been made. The
Third Avenue Railroad Company has obtained
permisson-of which it has made no use-to
use steam on part of its road, leaving the
rest of it to the horses, and the Elevated Raul
road has added a horse attachment to its
steam line; and rapid-transt is supposed to
be several fmlongs nearer But this piecing
out of steam roads with horses and horse
roads with steam Is a slow process. In an

for the companies, we may have tangible

Mr. Justice Field gives us a very OminOus
shake of the head this morning. Justice Brad
ley did not read an opinion to him favOring
the Tilden Electoral vote of Florida, says Mr..
Field, implying that he spoke it or thought it,
or whispered it or roared it. This is fratenal
courtesy and judicial reserve. If Mr.. Field
had anything to say, he might have said it
like man; if he had nothing 20 say, he might
have held his peace like judge.

The defence of the Shipka Pass is the most
brilliant episode of the war. After SIX days,
almost incessant fighting the Russian flag still
floated, yesterday above the scene of con-
fict. The opportune arrival of Radetzky
with achievements on Friday turned
the tide of battle, and revived the hopes
of the Russian officers who had only short
time before appealed desperately to the Gar
for aid. The Russian loss is of course enor-
nous, but it must be less than the Turks,
who had TO advance up a steep incline
under the fire of artillery. The good
fortune which has attended the Russian
arms in the Balkans has likewise IA
favored them in the operations before Esk1
Djuma. The attempt of Mehemet Ali to place
his forces as a wedge between the army of
the LON and Tirnova has so far ended i'll fail
ure, giving the Russians ample time to send
reinforcements to the menaced points. Al
though the Car caHbOast of no substantial
gains from these operations, he has good rea-
to be proud of his army which has held Its
own so WELL

tlemen would have us believe that the jay
Commission was not an investigation but
conspiracy against the whole Custom House,
and, above all, against the weighers, that it
came down, like the wolf on the fold. to destroy
the weighers, "and even offered premium to
witnesses to "abuse" the weighers, they are
talking nonsense of remarkable altitude.
These worthy persons may be all that they
ought to be, but they are not people of such
size that it is necessary to conspire against
them. They are not so dangerous to the peace
of the Administration that testimony must be
manipulated against them, as their amusing
spokesman declares it was. So long as their
defence is of this description, it will be gem
orally suspected that, if the welghers were
weighed, they might be found wanting

How Smith Asked the Old Man.
A GOOD ONE.

Smith had just asked Mr.. Thompson,
daughter if she would give him lift out of
bachelordom, and she said "Yes."
1t therefore became absolutely necessary
to get the old gentleman's pl rmission, so,
as Smith said, the arrangements might be
made to hop the conjugal twig
Smith said he'd rather pop the interro-
gatories to all of old Thompson's daugh-
ters, and sisters, and his lady cousins, and
his Aunt Hannah in the country, and the
whole of hf5 female relations, than ask old
Thompson. But it had to be done, and so
he sat down and studied out a speech which
he was to disgorge at old Thompson the
very first time he got shy at him. So
Smith dropped in on him one Sunday even
ing, when the family had wandered around
to meeting, and found him doing sum in
| beer measure.
| "How are you, Smith," said old Thomp-
sons, as the former walked in, white as 8
piece Of chalk, and trembling as if he haC
swallowed condensed earthquake.
Smith was afraid to answer, because h,
wasn't sure about that speech lie kney
he had to keep his grip on it while he ha,
it there, or it would slip from him quicks
than an oiled eel through an auger hole. s.
he blurted out

How They We're Taken In.

This IS the story told by the Boston Her.
dld: Not many weeks ago gentleman en-
gagged apartments at one of our fashionable
family hotels. In appearance he was not
very prepossessing; he had an unpleasant
manner and ungainly figure, and possessed
none of those qualities calculated to recon-
mend one 10 the gentler sex. After several
days sojourn he succeeded in making him
self disagreeable to all those he came in con-
tact with. On the eleventh day after his ar
rival mddle-aged and young lady enter
ed the hotel Office and registering their names
as mother and daughter, engaged an apart
ment. Their appearance in the dining room
on the morning after their arrival caused
quite a sensation among the eligible young
bachelors, the young lady proving exceed
| ingly attractive, and before many days con-
siderable rivalry sprang up among the
young men and marriageable old ones, each
endeavoring to ingratiate himself in the
young lady's affections. She received their
attentions with a naughty dignity and cold
ness which proved very discouragng to the
less-determined and faint hearted males
Our awkward friend, the first arrival, was
among the candidates for the damsells ia.
vor. His repeated advancements and OBJ
trusive remarks to her brought down on hin
the Justly merited riGicule of all, especially
those interested and more particularly of on,
young man who was possessed of considera
BILE wealth and limited supply of brains
He declared that the ugly fellows attention
were insulting to the fair lady, while th
homely member of the race thought he wa
more acceptable in the young lady's eye
than any other man in the hotel and offer
f ell to bet the rich young man $500 that be
fore twenty four hours he would accompan
her to the theater. Foolish as it may seen
the young man took the bet, and 81 900 wa
placed in the hands of the hotel clerk. Tru
to his boast within the prescribed time tn
ugly man took the handsome woman to tn
; Globe Theatre. On returning to the hot,
| the clerk handed him 81 900. Going u
, stairs, the lady was overheard asking
: "How much was the bet ?" zone thousan
r dollars" he replied. ''Stupid little hu
. band, she said, why didn't you double it ?
= Next morning three persons had an earl
e breakfast at the hotel then folded their ten
| and stole away.
