OFFICIAL JOURNAL ef The Parish Of LAFAYETTE

A NOBLE PoLlr1cAL LEssoS TAUGHT By
MARSHAL MAcMAHoN.

The Boston Herald says: When Mar.
shal MscM*hon resigned tbea presidency
Of the French republic, }be taugb, the
world more than one notable Lesson in
politics. For the FIRST and .most impres.
siye precept. he showed tha1 1thefe is some.
thing higher than the highest Office. The
matabal president sat, 50 to say,. in the
shadow Of the throne. He was head Of
The State over one Of the greatest. n ations.
H was housed 10 palaces. Hs xAs sala-
'ied like king. He received ~, 900
per annum, $4,000 IS stipend, Ind an
additional grant Of 100000 for the ex.
penses Of bis household. Search thesworld
over. no man born out Of tho purple could
compare positions with him for moment.
All this was his to have and to hold for
nearly two years more. To keep it, be
had but to close his hand-to close his
band and shut his teeth, snd let the Re.
publicans do and say their worst. Yet,
immeasurabIe IS was the temptation, he
found strength to cast it behind him. We
profess there is nothing in recent history
that should stir sympathy more deeply
than that cabinet meeting, last Thursday,
where the marshal president, after the fail.
ure Of bis clumsy attempt to detach the
president Of the council from the side Of
the minister Of finance, sat With flushed
face and pushed back the decree which
the minister Of war had laid before him.
u cannot do it, cannot stay at such .
cost. ! blush 4 tho thought. l assure
You, on nv honor, l will not do it.
Ny children would not forgive me for such
W act" He thought Of his children, not
after the fashion Of the ''faiher Of the pc.
rod" as % excuse for burrying his con.
science undsrss heap Of gold, but as one
who remembers that stainless name is
the best ioheritance. No doubt be would
have gone through ere and water to retain
the presidency; bu. be fel. that .here are
moral MalskofIs which cannot be keld.
He walked By the rule, that Ba,ns laid
down 50 clearly,
