The French garTisons were beset on all
sides. The Arabs have gone to the very
gates of the Capital in their raids, and
the skirmishing has dragged on from
week TO week until to-day there are
20 600 troops in active service in Algeria
and $4,000 men fighting for their lives
in Tunisia. The holiday march has been con-
verified into a hazardous campaign Anarchy

How true it is that war, even when prac-

same Roberts who made the brilliant forced
march from Cabul to Candahar had taken
cruel and wanton revenge upon the popua-
+ion which had witnessed the massacre OF the
British Embassy. In like manner General
Logerot is accused of giving directions 10 his
troops to shoot every Arab who may be iohhd
with arms in his hands. If so cod-bl0oded an
order as this has been ISSUED. Is 1t strange tnat

THE PEACEABLE FRUITS or GOOD-NATURE
One feature of the Republican Convention of
Wednesday that was the subject of frequent re-
mark and comment was the prevalent good
nature among delegates of every shade of
opinion Not that there were not differences,
aud WIDE ones, az to the organization, the
admission of delegates, the selection of officers
and choice of candidates. the reorganization
of the party in New-YorS and Brooklyn,
and other matters of detail regarding
thu policy to be pursued and the de-
the Convention was harmonious in the sense
of being fully agreed upon all these points.
There was as had been anticipated from the
outset, warm and earnest contest. No one
who is at all familiar with the events Of the
past six months had any expectation that it
would be otherwise. The state of affairs that
existed when that portion OF the party that
has always been FESTIVE under Mr. Conk-
Engs somewhat dictatOrial sway laid down
their opposition and gave him their
support for reelection, or that was OBJ
served when the friends of Chauncey NJ
Depew withdrew his name ~ candidate for
United States Senator and gave their votes to
Mr.. Platt, had been entirely changed by the
designations of the two Senators, the offensive
tactics of their supporters, and the declara-
ton of open war upon President Garlield's
Administration. The death of President Gar
field and accession of President Arthur
necessarily changed still further the situ-
alton. mitigating the asperities and soften

THE FRENCH IN TUNTS.

The campaign in Tunisia has not been
holiday parade as the French staff fancied it
would b.. The invading columns were in mo-
ton on April 26, and within twelve days
battery was displayed at the gates of the Bey's
palace The principally had been overrun
under a hollow pretext for the Kroumirs had
not menaced the security of Eastern Algeria,
hut had laid down their arms at the request of
the Bey before marching orders were given to
the French troops. The capital had been ap-
preached, the treaty of peace dictated, and
the country virtually annexed under false
pretences, for these unjustifable measures were
in violation of positive pledges to the Bey and
to the European Powers. There had been no
fighting, for there were no KrOumirs in the
field. There had been q fortnight Of easy
marching, and the mobility of the new military
system had been demonstrated. A bold stroke
had been planned and executed at small ex-
pense. Military prestige had been gained, and
nothing had been sacrificed except good faith
and diplomatic honesty. The helpless Bey had
been bullied and the British and Italian
courts duped; the Nation had suddenly emerged
from retirement and done something that
was bold, aggressive and dashing, albeit
somewhat immoral, and the troops were ready
to reembark for Marseilles after an ENJOYABLE
excursion in the principally.
The illusion was soon dispelled. The French
lad not lighted a torch that would illumne
that benighted region with the blessings Of
commerce and civilization. They had kindled
a fanaticism that would spread from tribe to
tribe throughout Northern Africa. First came
a revolt in Constantine next an instruction
in Oran then fire and slaughter in the Span
ish settlements, when Bou Amena appeared
from his hiding-place in the desert and
finally the tribes of Southern Tunisia banded
together against the Bey and his new ally.
Now the fighting was to begin in earnest, for
when Sfax was battered down by the fleet its
six hundred defenders remained in the ruins,
firing slowly but steadily until they were over
powered by superior numbers. One tribe after
another renowned allegiance to sovereign
who was charged with bctraying the Calph
and leaving the holy places to their fate.

The sharp frosts of two nights remind MS that the

glowing coors, but it - probable that our autumn

renewed occasion 10 lament the raYages OF tho

the thin soil If rocky hills are already stripped OF
their leaves, which died and dropped before they

will burn out with dull flame compared with the
Lrilliancy of more prosperous years. But matter

This is the season when they should bo storing up a

the fall rains if we are to have any, Will come too

We are pleased to observe that the form OF bru-
