Irregular Correspondence
Paris, France, Jan. 9th, 1880.


As an example Of the dangerous
trash that is now set every day be-.
fore the good people l commend to
your notice the following hysterical
appeal:
The Presidency is nothing, in fact,
but relic of Royalty. It is the
American type of English Roy atty,
and the Third Republic is no more
French than Gambetta. It is an ex.
otto having renowned it's national
ity, its tradition, and its French Vi
tality by affecting Ouqelicisms. It
has nothing in common with the
Republic Of '92, nor with that of
Athens. It is a Republic with three
kings.
This extract from an article in the
Mot d. Oydye, shows with what kind
of enemies any French Republic that
endeavors to keep in the middle
course will have to contend. The
turbulent spirits represented by the
Mot d. Ordre and other papers Of a
similar type, in the war which they
are now waging against established
institutions, put in the foremost
place for denunclation the present
form of Government, more hateful
in their eyes then even the feudal
regime. The article explains that
the three kings already alluded
to are ''President Grevy at
the Elysee, President Martel at the
Luxembourg, and President Gambet.
ia ut the Palais Bourbon 1t adds,
"What a pity the Tuileries were
burnt! Oh, French people, why did
you guillotine Louis XVI! Is Paris
so rich, is France so blessed by ma.
ture? Is there less misery in the
streets and hospitaH Are there few.
er prisoners, soldiers, priests, and
functionaries, after four revolutions
under this Presidential Republic?
1.-THE drift of this article can easily
be guessed. 1t is return to the
Convention, with president elected
for fifteen days, with no official resi-
dence.
The Chamber met this afternoon
in spite of NJ. Jules Favre's funeral,
but many of the benches presented
a meagre appearance, a number OF
the Deputies being at Versailles.
The tribunes on the other hand,
were we'll filled, as M. Jan 7ier de la
Motto was expected to interpelate
NJ Lepere on all affair which had
taken place at Fidelaire. M. Bris.
son presided in the absence of M.
Gambetta, who was still indisposed,
and, like the President himself, op.
ened the sitting punctually at two
O'Clock. A number of bills having
been adopted without one word of
discussion. M. Janvier de la Motto
(pere) assembled the tribune, and de.
clared that M. Lepere had accepted
for to-day the debate on an Interpret.
lation relative to the suspension OF
the adjoint Of the commune of Eide:
laire, to the dissolution of the local
band, and the exercise of the ris hit
of holding private meetings. The
Minister of the Interior was, how.
ever, at the funeral of NJ. Jules Fav.
re, and as he had expressed a wish
that the Interpolation should not be
discussed in his absence, he, the
speaker. would defer 70 his desire.
NJ. Louis Blanc laid on the table of
the House proposition in favor of
the plenary amnesty, and demanded
the declaration of urgency, which
was accordingly granted. After the
discussion Of few topics Of purely
local interest, M. Janvier de la Mot
te's Interpolation was postponed
until Saturday next. The sitting
then terminated at a quarter past
three.
A charitable fete, under the patron.
age of Queen Isabella, is to come off
at the Continental Hotel on Friday,
the 3Oth inst. There will be con.
cert and ball. The Marqulse de
Molins and the Marechale Canrobert
figured among the lady patronesses.
History has repeated the Duke of
C]arence's tragical fate in the person
of a humble vendangeur. A vine.
yard proprietor of the Haute Gar
rome was recently engaged in tasting
his wine, and, comming to large
vat OF the last vintage, was shocked
at what he described as it's ''fantas-
tic flavor" He accordingly allowed
it to run off into other vessels, and
proceeded to examine the bottom Of
the receptacle, when, to his horror,
he discovered the body of one Of his
own workmen, who had mysterious.
ly disappeared last October. The
comfortable piece Of intelligence is
added that the authorities have for
hidden the sale of the wine, but the
secret is less satisfactory to brandy.
drinkers, who learn that the fluid,
which has been undergoing such
unusual treatment since October
last, will he handed over to the dis
tillers.
