split into two camps, preparatory to
other tadpole subdivisions-the radi.
Gals proper, who would abolish every
thing and take chance for recon
struction, in twenty four hours, and
intrsnsigeants who desire to denlolish
every institution in an hour and re-
construct nothing. 1t is polite not to

does not appear to be making way,
nor his rival, Jules Ferry, the prime
minister and standard bearer of NJ.
Grevy, either. Yet governmental
working majority cannot be formed
without the union OF the followers Of
these chiefs. Grevy desires to stand
still like the Egyptisns-the ancient
ones understood. Gambetta would
like to go forward, but the rapidity of
bis pace seems to be graduated
little on Ferry's. Both chiefs are
laboring earnestly to crack up their
partisans not to consider busting
pledges as graver bonds than dioers'
oaths and pie.crust promises; both
leaders ague however on the necessity
to make common war against the
ultras, for loving the republic not too
wisely, but too well. Now the ultras,
who represent about the eighth of
the total number Of deputies, hold as
the most important of their thirty
nine articles, that they represent
France-perhaps as the Tooley street
tailors did England; they have
become more plucky since N. GreVy
has promised never to send for
Clemenceau, Roohefort and Louis
Blanc, to form g cabinet. The ultrss,
however, are not the less down in the
mouth, because Ferry and Gambesta
intend to seek them in their repaires;
hence sbrieks as when husbands and
lap dogs breathe their last.
III. Albert GreVy having succeeded
in compromising the existence OF
Algeria, and catching tartar in
place of Kroumir in Funisis, has
naturally resigned. Freycinet is the
best civilian to replace him; only
Freycinet is the dark horse contem-
plated to be backed when the presi

vacant, and naturally he does not in

exhibit no new tricks; acrobats rely
