another President was as promptly
chosen with, ut any disorder or un-
due excitement. This shows that
Republican ideas and constitutional
methods are gaining in France, and

ment with moderation. NJ. Grevy,

years President OF the Assembly. He

as a great victory for Gambetta, who

ton in the new cabinet. The only
danger now is that Gambetta and his
adherents may try 20 do too much.

There is great excitement in Eu-

exploring expedition, which started
out to try to find northeast pas
sage from the Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean via. North Cape and Behring's
strait. Prof. Nordenskjoid sent bis
last report from the mouth OF L ma
river. and the cold this winter In
north eastern Siberia has been more
severe than usual, consequently it Is
believed that the steamer containing
the explorers is fast in the ice north
east OF East Cape, and considerable
distance from land. Vessels are fit
ting out in different parts Of Europe
to go to the rescue. but fears are en-
.tertained that, like the Sir Johs

The Ply mouth Democrat of last
week, declares in favor Of Samuel j.
Tilden as the Democratic candidate
for President in 1850. Tie South
Bend Herald declares that il will
stick to Hendricks as long as there
Is button on his shirt. 1t says:
There is one thing in favor OF
making Tilden again the Democratic
candidate for President, which has no
little weight with certain Democratic
editors, and that is the amount OF
money he would spend in furnishing
editorial matter already written and
printed for the use OF the Democratic
press. During the last canvass Til
den kept full corps OF editors and
printers at work in New York in
furnishing the country press in all
the states with ready made editorials
To US poor devils who lacked either
brains or time, Tilden's editorial bu-
reauf was a God send. IL the party
gives us Tilden, the Herald will de-
rive great consolation in the expec-
tation OF being relieved from the
heavy. burden OF editorial labors
through the canvass by the Tilden
editorial bureau. II Tilden is nomi-
mated, we expect another barrel oil

A Funny Robbery.

The most audacious, impudent and
ludicrous robbery ever known In this
city, was committed the other eve-
ming, just after dark, at a clothing
store on South Illinois street, near the
union depot. II it is not fresh item
it is a funny one, and as no reporter
has "got wind" OF ii till now, it is
fresh enough A stout, rough looking
fellow went iuto the store while the
attendant was at the far end OF the
counter, and two or three persons
were standing in front on the pave
ment. The fellow looked for while
at some oyercoats hanging on the
wall, as IL he wanted to buy, and fl
nally took one down and put it on,
smoothed down the sleeves, settled
the collar, pulled 1t round him, but
toned it, pulled down the skirts, and
went through all the motions usual In
trying on new coat. The salesman
came forward to assist in the opera
ton, and while stopping to pull the
back into proper smothness the fellow
turned suddenly and struck him a
tremendous blow under the jaw and
chin, knocking him back against the
counter and partially over it. In his
struggle he fell clear over on the in-
side, while the man with the overcoat
walked out at the door. whistling cool
ly, and walked Off toward the depot.
Those who saw it were not anxious to
run the risk of another lick" like
that the clerk got. and did not try to
stop him. and before they thought OF
an alarm he was gone, Indianapolis

Ono Of the most desperate schemes
ever attempted by city or munich
paliiy to avoid the payment OF debt.
il exhibited in the action OF the city
OF Memphis, Tennessee. Two bills
have, on petition OF the Council and
citizens OF Memphis, recently passed
the Legislature OF Tennessee which
virtually rereai the city charter and
remand the corporation to State ter
ritory so that Memphis, as corpor-
ate city, no longer has an existence.
The city had incurred "A debt of about
i've millions OF dollars, and this ex-
fraordinary step was taken TO avoid
its payment, a method Of reputation
almost equal ia originality to that by
which the so called Greenback party
attempted 10 repudiate the debt OF
the nation. The city attempts to JUS
tify this action by reason Of its pow
erty and general bad luck. Five mill
lions OF dollars Is a large amount OF
Indebtedness for a city containing a
population OF $4,000. and shows bad
management. Had Memphis Teen
uuder what Is termed carpet bag
rule" our Democratic friends would
think this action perfectly awful, y
but as Memphis and the State of
, Tennessee are, and have been for a
long time. Democratic, nothing will
be said about the chivalric sons OF
the South; and AS the State has been
managed almost as badly as the city,
this is probably the first step toward
repudiating the entire debt OF both
city and State.
