THE NEW FRENCH REVOLUTION.

Nothing in the history of political changes
IN France is so remarkable an indication of
advancement in the methods of seif-govern-
vnent az the upshot of the recent elections in
that country. So quiet and at the same time
80 radical q revolution was never known be-
fore How different are the scenes which
form the background aud surroundings of
President CREWS Inauguration from those
which, in December 1851, characterized the
revolution planned in the name of Charles
Louis Bonaparte by Morny, Maupas, Flenry,
st Arnaud and their follow Conspirators.
How great the contrast between the elections
which have placed in power the Republicans
of France, and the Plesbisite under whose
laockery Of form the French nation was be
trayed into the hands of Napoleon III.
Marshal Mcmahon resigns his office Of Presi
dent rather than make the tacit admission
that the military power of France is subject
to the voice of the French Democracy. Born
into an atmosphere of Imperialism and
nutured amid the legends, passions and am
billions of warriors life, the old soldier
could not brook the humiliation put upon
himself and his comrades in arms by the peo-
pie who so lately were held in check by the
iron hand of military rule. France has made
many attempts to establish republic.
Hitherto the effort has been unavaiIng. The
traditions Of monarchy coming down to her
people from many generations; the innate
admiration of the French people for military
grandeur, and the pomp of mimic and real
war; the :nercurial character, not only of the
masses but the educated class as well these
characteristics and inheritances have conspired
10 render the establishing of republican gov
erument very difficult and discouraging
task But France has learned many useful
things within the last few years. The lessons
taught at Sedan and by the Commune; the
depressing weight OF German power; the
necessity for a period OF economy, industry
and peace have not been dlsregarded, The
seed of adversely has fallen upon fallow
ground and has grown up, in healthfulness,
aad even now bears it's wholesome fruit. 1t
II too soon to to predict what the outcome
will be Grevy in the chair of the Presidency,
and not Gambetta, is the wiser part. For
t1revy is enough of a conservative to check
the food of revolutionary violence while
