If the Union was worth. a ighripg for ii is
worth paying for.
The French Oyerturn.

A year and more ago Gambetta announced
that President MacMahon must submit to
the parliamentary majority or resign-so,.-
METRE on deaettre, rendered into the Yankee
vernacular at the time by Submit or GIT"
The Marshal President submitted then.
This time he prefers to "gt."
Time was, and not long since when
change like the one just accomplished in the
government could not be effected in France
without a revolution. 1t would have been
regarded as signal tor an outbreak of the
factions. Some days have passed since the
resignation of MacMahon, and no symp-
toms of trouble present themselves. The
French people breathe easier, relieved of the
incubus Of a reactionary President, and the
machinery of government goes on as before.
The action ofthe legislative body evidently
meets with the approval of the country. Not
few of the friends of the Republic were
alarmed by the crisis and in their fear pre-
dicted trouble; but happily their predictions
have come to nought. The change peaceably
effected is for the good of the country. For
the first time since 1870 the three branches of
the government are in harmony, and act to-
gether. The Republican majority is no
longer hampered by an executive not in SYM
pathy with it. and no longer harassed by
suspicious of military intrigues. The Mar
shal was an honorable man, simple and
straightforward in his dealings, but
he certainly had ceased to really rep
resent the French people, and it was
was better that the nominal representation
should cease. His fidelity to his army com
rades is pleasing, ard if he could not bring
himself to demand their designations he did
wisely in making way for successor who
would carry out the will of the people. That
fidelity has naturally provoked sympathy.
and some Amurican journals have funnily
enough pictured him as a MARTYR to civil
service reform, forgetting in their zeal that
the civil service is not the military. 1t does
at first view seem absurd to an American to
remove military commanders because they do
not represent the parliamentary majority,
But with us the army is not an object of
fear. Had it been repeatedly used 10 subvert
the freedom of the Republic we should en-
tertain for it more than French dlstrust.
and demand that its great offices be put in
charge of upholders of a republican form of
government. The French commanders were
known to be Imperialists, favoring the re-
establishment of the Napoleonic dynasty,
and suspected, very likely with Justice, OF
intriguing for the return of the Prince I'm
perial. 1t might be unsafe to have them in
command when fhe Presidential election
came off. The Republicans decided that
they would not take the chances. The wis
dom of the decision remains to be proved.
but the course of events so far certainly tends
to justify it.

On Saturday a silver vase was presented to
Thomas Mast, the clricaturist of Hsrper's
Weekly, as a token of esteem from $500 officers
and enlisted men of the army and navy, at the

York. The presentation speech was made by
Gen. Crittenden. The vase is shaped like "a

The Dexter Myth.

The stupidity ofthe detectives, long ap-
parent, reaches its very height and crown of
absurdity in the theory put forth by the
members of the craft, (for as practsed 1t
needs practical acquaintance with the me-
chanical art of the burglar as well as with
the tricks of the illusionist and the dark
closet medium) thai Mr.. Barron 'tcommitted
suicide with the aid of an accomplice."
When astute detectives suggested that Mr..
Ross of Philadelphia had kidnapped and
hidden his own son in order to provoke the
sympathy of his fellows, that was thought to
be the last word of the profession. But
here is an idea more preposterous than that.
Further than this, it is safe to assert, the dis
eased imagination Of the widest lunatic can
not go. Mr.. Dearborn and Mr., Oh apman
can now turn their attention to the recovery
OF Stewart's body, on the theory that Mrs.
Stewart has it hidden somewhere about the
house, and that it is veritable skeleton
in one of her closets.
"Suicide with the aid OF an accomplice.n -
Shade of Vidocq! The dead cashier is as
sisted by one of his townsmen to murder him
self! And for what? To conceal defalca-
tion that does not exist. We are asked to
believe that man who had the brain and
cunning necessary to contrive so elaborate a
scheme and the persuasive powers to induce
other men uninfuenced by any motive other
than desire to serve him, to become accom-
plices, and the courage toinfiict so great ply
scal torture upon himself, did not have the
energy to live and the nerve to meet what.
ever trlfing difficulties (if any he had to en-
counter. We are asked to believe in the ex-
istence of this chine without model or a
parallel in the history of mankind. Is it not
easier to believe that the detectives, whom
we know are often fools and sometimes ras-
Gals, have added one more to their long list
of blunders? Because they IN their stupidity
are unable to fix the crime upon the living

themselves to the last refuge of imbecility

The recent revival in the stock market and
other indications of improved business lead
the Shoe and Leather Reporter to say:
Without entertaining any very strong faith
in the probability that the commodities of
life will materially advanced, especially while
they are so abundant, and before the system
of labor has become re-established, so as to
give full scope TO the earning power of all
classes of the people, we are strengthened
day by day in the opinion that the country is
at the threshold of an epoch of great brisk
ness and vitality in business. Perhaps it will
not be as profitable as aavrice would have it.
1t looks very much as If the reward of In.
dustry were to be meted out on that princi-
pie of impartiality which makes the order
and magnitude of the distribution dependent
exclusively on the merits of each competitor.
This is rule to which nobody can, with any
show of Justice, take exceptions, and it does
act so powerfully as an incentive to manly
rivalry to excel in the arts of serviceable
productions that the people have every
reason to desire its perpetuation.

bushels, the largest OF the season. snip
ners to Europe and local millers were the
buyers, the price ranged from III 10 TO LII
and long berry 81, 1S to ST. goa bushel. The
new wheat market opened With good
pro mise to the growers, and the receipts,
which will now come forward IDerally,
will have a ready market. The advices OF
bad crops in Europe excited themarket all
around. Western wheat ON the spot ad-

other leading mai ketS somewhat similar
excitement has been experienced. The
following Press dispatch from New York
explains the situation i'll that city;
New York, July S,-The excitement in
the grain market increased to-day and
wheat has further advanced in price from
to cents per bushel. 1t is uncertain
whether or not the rise is a healthy one
It is what may be termed a ''crop scare"
and has risen from the reports of bad
weather in Europe and in the West. Should
the reports be confirmed within a few days
it IS very probable that the present prices
may be even further advanced. Some of
the spectators have been bidding to-day
four cents higher than the closing prices
yesterday on the first call, but they weak
ened somewhat b fore the close of the call
and have since been selling-or, more def
nitely speaking, unloading-at ates below
the extreme prices of the day. This would
indicate that the rise does not appear to
them to be a sound one, and that proba-
ble fall is expected when more definite
! news is received. AT present the quiet
and regular traders do not feel very anx-
ious at the rise. and look upon it as the an
nual return of the scare.-Baltinaore Su.
