that any such resolution could be put in
force, when at the same time members OF
the Association are contracting with
immigrants for twelve months, at twenty
five certs per day? 1t may be argued
that such proceedings will be discontinued,
but as often as immigrants arrive, there
are planters who will employ them, and at
a higher rate than twenty cents per

sent a total of 14,924 persons. The
Field Marshal ordains that when q
male member Of any of these families
shall have attained his seventeenth
year, either the young man or his
father shall be asked to become natu-
ralised Germans. In the case OF the
refusal of both parties, the young man
will be obliged to quit the country,
and can only visit his parents once a
year for the space of from two to
three weeks. Unmarried men who
are OF French nationality can remain
in the provinces until they wish to
get married and bring up q family.
If they then object to become Ger
mans it will be notified to them that
their male issue shall be liable to con
scriptlon or expulsion from the
try. As to young men who, having
obtained permission to emigrate, have
returned home, they will be required
to produce proof that they have been
naturalised elsewhere. Without such
proof they shall be compelled to enter
the Imperial army forthwith for the
usual term Of service, If they "a
shew that they belong to another ma
ton they will be expelled, and can

to take, cannot fail to make the yoke

CALLING than before, while they will
have the effect of widening still fur
ther the breach between France and
Germany. An outcry has already
been raised here on the subject, and
the complaint is heard hat Marshal
Manteuifsls draconic clauses are rem.
dered doubly barbarous for the pur-
pose of provoking France. The
French Alsaiian journals have not, OF
course, dared 10 c~riticise the new law,
and content themselves with publish
inc in silence its rigorous articles.
The Partisan papers are not SO reti'
cent, and the Tel6gr0phe sarcastically
recommends Frenchmen to cultivate
now the political friendship of Prince
Won Bismarck, which consists in pat
ting them on the back in China for
the purpose of strangling them more
effectively in q corner of the VoSges.
A Radical paper says that if the Ger
man Chancellor offers France the illu-
sorry domination of the seas on the
condition Of previously beating the
English, he takes care not to dlsarm
at home. He is charging the boun-
diaries which his policy has placed
between the two races, and he makes
it clearly understood that nothing in
the Treaty of 1871 can be altered.
He is, therefore, to be thanked by
Frenchmen for this warning, which
he gives to a few fools and impru-
dent persons.
The France says that General 0
Manteufers pitiless order is too clear
and explicit to need any commentary,
1t signifies nothing but a war to the
death, which Germany is waging on
French ideas in Alsace- Lorraine ; a
war which the Governor of the con
quered territory is decided to carry on
to the bitter end. But, asks the same
paper, is it really General Manteuf1el
who is responsible for this order-he
who is merely a machine Of Bis

Germany and France

PARIS, Monday Night, Sept |.
The French have, in their excite
ment, lately made SO much fuss over
their good understanding with Ger
many that the Tossiche Zejtumg finds
itself constrained to announce to the
world that during Baron de CourcePs
visit to Varzin the idea Of an alliance
between the two countries was not
even mooted. For all who are at all
behind the scenes such a statement is
obviously superhuous. If Germany
is just now encouraging France to
continue her dangerous policy OF
foreign adventure the simple eXplano-
ton is that it suits Prince 0 Bis
marck to push the Ferry Cabinet
along tie risky path which it has
entered. But the French have
always been more amenable to SIMS
ter dattery than to honest advice;
hence their iIl-humour with England
and their joy at Germany's attitude:
A fortnight ago their press teemed
with frantic denuncIations against
perhdious Albion, and with offers Of
everlasting friendship to Germany, on
the condition that she should, just as
a proof Of her goodwill, give back
Alsace and Lorraine to France. Then
Germany and France would 60 hand
in hand and divide the world between
them, beginning with EngIand's colo
NAL Empire. That such a pro
erammc should have been discussed
in sober earnest is a phenomenal
symptom, which betrays habits Of
thought utterly at variance with es-
tablishcd facts. "OnIy return to us
the lost provinces,' cried a host Of
Jealous politicians, "and we shall fol-
low YOU to the ends of the earth"
10 this subject the German press
prudently refrained from referring.
But il is noteworthy that the German
Government has just taken a step
which will have the speedy effect OF
dispelling many fond illusions, and Of
the significance of which at this juno
ture there can be no doubt. The
measure has already given some
umbrage here, and will assuredly be
the theme Of further comment, of a
nature not altogether in c%onsonance
with the gushing language with which
we have lately been RECALLED. But q
bare statement Of the cas- will suffi-
GENTLY explain itself.
A new law relative to the naturali-
sation of Alsatians and Lorrainers has
been promulgated by Field Marshal
ManteuffeI, Governor of the conquer
ed provinces. This step has been
taken with a view to prevent the fur

FOCAL MATTERS.

FALSE STATEMEETs,-The Cali.
polls specials to the Cincinnati pa.
pers about the Bridge proceedings
do this town aud its people great
injustice. They charge that the
Bridge was held by an armed mob
against the Marshal and his posse,
which is a falsehood that none but
the most hardened liar could utter.
There never was at any time the
least show of resistance to the or.
der Of Judge Jackson's Court, nor
was anything done by our people
or the Bridge crew that could DO
tortured into an attempt to defy
the authority Of the United States
Marshal in serving his writ. The
Bridge men gave up their property
under protest, and that was all the
resistance that was offered 10 the
Marshal or any one in authority.
The people Of this town looked up.
on the order of the District Court
us q high handed outrage, and a
desperate attempt on the part Of
the Ohio Central Railroad Com.
pany and the Western Union Tel,
egtaah Company to steal a Bridge,
and Swindle the Keystone Bridge
Company out Of their contract
money, and their sympathy was
naturally with Mr.. Baird and his
Company. If the Marshal could
NOT KEEP. men at.work in defiance
Of State law it was no fault Of our
people. The Bridge men had the
law on their side and they we're
not slow to use it, and hence all
who went upon the Bridge except
the Marshals were arrested as tres.
passers and bound over to answer
indictments, and also to keep the
peace. Now, if this lawful pro
ceoding on the part Of our officers
can be construed into the doings Of
an armed mob, then well may the
people surrender their rights and
their liberties as well. II the cor
respondent who has been sending
these lying specials to the Cincin.
natl Melus Journal has one spark Of
honor about him he will correct
his infamous dispatches. If he
does not our people will always
look upon him as an unmitigated
liar, william and scoundrel and one
who delights in injurying the rep.
utation Of his neighbors.
