In Defense of the French.

Few more startling exposures of "jour-
nalistic" methods have lately taken place
than that made by our Paris correspond
ent in the letter which we printed yes
terday. As our readers know, every
newspaper IN the country has contained
detailed accounts of the dastardly con-
duct of the French gentlemen" at the
time OF the recent disastrous fire. They
were described with minute detail as
beating down ladies with their canes and
tramping on them in their brutal deter
mination to save their own lives. These
accounts were so circumstantial as to
have every appearance of truth, and we
have heard several persons moralize on
the superficial poiteness Of the French,
and declare that these incidents proved
that beneath a veneer of courteous man
ners there lurked the spirit of the saw
age. The facts stated by our correspon-
dent show that the newspapers have
practiced an outrageous imposition on
the public The count of Montesquior,
who has just fought duel on account of
the SANDERS arising out of the afflir, was
not present at the bazaar on the day of
the fire. In fact, there were Certainly
less than 5o and probably less than go,
men in The building at the time. OF
these about = dozen were engaged in the
arrangements of the sale, and had left
their canes in the coat room. The ma
jor,ty of the remainder were middle-aged
gentlemen interested in charitable work,
some of whom distinguished themselves
by saving the lives of Others Altogether,
our correspondent concludes, tn young
men of the class u.ade infamous through
out the world as a oeca dent aristocracy
could have been counted On the fingers
of nGe hand. The charges against them
have been proved false N almost every
case where they were made definite
