dismisssl Of q Ministry before it has been
allowed 70 discuss its policy in debate,
and through . vote taken upon an essen
tial, but still elementary point OF form
Great pressure was therefore brought to
bear upon the Ministry, after long discus
sioDs at the EiyS6e, it was resolved to ask
tho Chamber Tor . definite vote of conf
dence. This was drawn up by M. Guich.
hard, of the pure Left, IN q ve.y dry form
10 these words:-osThe Chamber, approx
ing the acts of the Government and
confiding in its declarations, passes to the
order of the day." The vote was pass
ed by 297 to 13l. but not until M. Ferry
had made an ambiguous declaration upon
priority of business which will give him
serious trouble 10 the future. He did not
waive it, only declaring that such priority
did not involve any question OF princi-
ple.' If therefore, he insists on his "
order, he will %disappoint the Extremists
afresh while il he does not, he will be
considered squeezable to a degree which
always makes French Ministry contempti-
BILE, and brings it to the ground. The
French never believe in men who do not
believe 10 themselves. In any case, his
Government. otter such q brutal rebuff, can
have little inherent strength, the Right
being mad with it for carrying out the
DEGREES against monks, and the Ultras
irritated with it for leniency to nuns. 1t
may potter along, if it insists 90 going its
W way but if not, it must either fall,
or openly declare that 1t holds power only
rs q Ministry ad interim till the country
has been consulted. The danger of such
an attitude is, of course, that the Chamber
will then take the bit in its teeth; and
this Chamber has lost, in a large degree,
mastery over itself. Passions are Excess
sively infamed, as is shown by the deplor-
able Baudry d'Asson incident, during
which some Of the first men in France
went to fsticufs with the guard of the
Chamber the groups which must coal
esce to obtain o majority have grown jea-
lous and suspicious OF each other; and the
authority Of M. Gambetta within the
Chamber, if not i a the country, has declin'
ed. Parties are SO savage that the bour'
geois common-sense of Frenchmen-that
sense of the expedient which constantly
operates when everything seems going to
pieces-may come into play, and the
Chamber sink for o time into q kind CT
apathetic calm but If this change does
not occur, it is difficult to see y way out,
except through q dissolution. The coun-
try must be asked how far it means
to 90 against the Church. and how tar it
trusts NJ. Gambetta. and parties must be
arranged according to the answer. Other
wise, we cannot but anticipate for the
immediate future q period of legislative
sterility, varied by scenes OF extreme
violence, each one of which deepens the
passion Of parties, and discredits the char.
acter Of the Chamber for gravity aud self
control.-Spectator.

A Duel Avoided.

Little Rock Gazette: The people of
hot Springs are very much excited over
silver mines. This fact prevented blood

Capt Blower met near the Arlington

Col. Jimson remarked:

Hold on" said the colonel, " let
me see that rock. I'll bet $40 there's
silver in it.
The captain lowered his arm, and the
colonel rushed up, took out micro
scope and began to examine it. "Sil-
yer, by the stars and stripes! One
hundred dollars to the ton"
Two hours later the men had ground
the rock into dust, and were, as best OF
friends examining it. There are better
ways of settling dispute than by
lighting.

Picnic in the Country.

EDITOR CHRONICLES: I had the
pleasure to-day of attending the Sun
day-school picnic at Humans schoo
house, in the 18th district. By the
way, these people deserve praise for
the enterprise and energy shown in
building a good house, and more praise
for establishing good Sunday-achool,
with Mr.. J. NJ. Kirby at its head.
The morning was clear, beautiful and
bracing. The writer was on the ground
early, but pretty soon the young peo-
pie, with parents aud friends, began to
gather in. till we had quite large
audience. The good people had erected
stand and seats in the grove, with a
beautiful evergreen arch and bouquets
ornamenting the stand, while the flag
Of our country streamed over all.
The exercises were introduced by
, some good singing, and by fervent
prayer by A T. Cottrell, Esq. for the
good of the SuDday-school, the chll-
dren, and for our country. Esq. Conner
being present, was called upon and
made short talk on the great im-
portance Of training the children for
the future good Of the church and of
our country.
The Hon. David Richards was next
introduced, who entertained US with a

happy style. The Hon. A. t. Cottrell
and Capt. Rule also made short bu

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1880:
SOMETHING NOT ON THE
BILLS.

The following extract from pri-
vate letter written by a friend in
Nashville, tells of one of the Incl
dents of the Nashville democratic
convention, which the papers have
not fully reported. It was written
the day after the convention ad-
journed:
You have no doubt read the full
proceedings of the democratic con-
vention here, as reported in the
American. It was noisy and turbu-
lent from the beginning-mor9 so
than any convention held here for
ten years. The climax was reached,
however, last night. In response
to a serenade, Judge Jno. V. Wright
made a sensible, conciliatory speech
from the rotunda of the Maxwell
house, which was filed to hear hiIl.
After he had finished, several speak
ers followed, among them Col. 4. S.
Colyar, who spoke of Wilson and
Savage, who had, in taking the
$4,000 as new issue lawyers for the
state, acted contrary to their doctrine,
that every appropriation should be
submitted to the people, etc, and
also contrary to the constitution in
taking the fee after they had been
the fathers of it, etc. He spoke of
1t as public act of Mr.. S. F. Viii
son, the candidate of the repudiating
wing OF the democracy for gov
ernOr.
When Colyar finished, good
many of the spectators (most-
~ boys) called for Savage, who
was seen in the gallery Of the
rotunda, not far from Colyar. He
began by saying that he was not a
repudiator; that he and Co'var were
upon the same platform a few years
ago; row he had been deserted by
Colyar; that Colyar had been on all
sides of every question; and from
these points he took up Colyars
private character and blackguarded
him for not paying his debts, for
being afraid to meet him on the
stump, and boosted that he could
put his feet upon the
neck of Colyar, Bailey and
other democratic leaders, if they
would only meet him in public de
bate before the people. The excite
ment increased all the time Savage
was speaking, and as Colyar sat in
full view of the crowd, all expected
q rejoinder.
Savage was repeatedly applauded,
but talked so long that the crowd
got tired of him and began to call
for Colyar SO loud that he desisted
with this remark: 'Boys I enjoy
