cnce OF the French people is at stake; for
where people is compelled to conform its
conduct to the will of q neighbor its inde-
pendence ends, and if France does not put
down this gigantic papal intrigue that fights
oil progress and liberty in the name of con-
servatism and order if it accepts that die
tation from Rome which its government has
accepted it will find itself face to face with
Germany and Italy allied in view Of this
very contingency, and will be compelled
to renounce automatically before Eu-
rope that which it had formally nc
cepted at its own affairs by great
electoral act. But the French people will
scarcely need an incentive like this to in
duce them to reject the candidates of the
coalition. France is republican to the core !;
republican in the sense that she will be
controlled in her political functions by her
own will, and not by the will of any indi-
vidual who fancies himself fit to be her
master Every nation that is proud, intel
ligent and self-conscious is and must be
republican in this sense. That is the spirit
of the nation, and they who would sup
press this spirit recognize at once its ex-
istence and strength by pretending that
their only desire is to serve it.


But it is impossible that the nation can
be deceived by this prctence. It's percep-
tions are too acute for it to accept as friends
of the constitution and republicans all the
fag ends of the parties that have fallen to
pieces through the fact OF republican sue
cesses. When bishops command services in
the churches that the faithful may pray for
the success Of MacMahon's candidates, and
add that the Pope has decreed certain in
dulgences for whoever takes part in
these services, he must be an unusual
kind Of Frenchman who does not
deem it strange that the Pope should
take such an extra religious interest
in the political fortunes of France. And
when M. Rouher is presented as an official
candidate and urges the cause Of MacMahon
people will certainly contemplate Mac
Mahon's good will toward the Republic in
the light of the political company he keeps.
It is not possible for the nation to mis-
understand the intentions of the admins
tration, and it is not possible for the ad-
ministration to give effect to those intentions
unless the popular will is suppressed

We print elsewhere an interesting collec-
tion Of private letters written by illustrious
men who were prominent in public affairs
twenty or more years ago. Among them
are several by Abraham Lincoln before his
fame had become national long one by
Salmon p. Chase SO early as 1841, when he
was already an ardent foe of slavery two
or three brief ones by General Scott
in the first and second years Of the
war; one by Henry Clay explaining
the absurd charge that he had stolen q
negro boy and one by Secretary Stanton,
intimating to Mr.. Chase President Lincoln's
probable intention to appoint him to the
written in the confidence of friendship,
give truer glimpses Of character than for
NAL productions, prepared for the public
eye. They are all honorable to the
writers, but those of Mr.. Lincoln
will be read with most interest. On
one point, the Fugitive Slave law, the views
which he held will no doubt shock some Of
his admirers, while others will regard them
as proof of the rugged honesty of his char
acter. SO long as the duty of surrendering
fugitives from labor was made duty by the
constitution Mr. Lincoln was strongly op-
posed to attempts to circumvent that
plain constitutional provision either by
legal refnements or insidious legis-
lation. He did not believe in getting
round positive engagement by any sort of
chicanery. The man to whom the country
is most indebted for the abolition Of slavery,
and whose name will be hallowed by the
African race while the world lasts, respected
the faith of contracts even when the con-
tract was condemned by every instinct Of
humanity

MR. E. F. COTTON, who came Tn from Camp Bowie on Thursday, gives us the following Indian items: About the middle of last month, It. Rucker, Sixth Cavalry, was ordered by General

 KautZ on a scout in pursuit of some renegade Chiricahuas who had been committing depredations along our southern border and had lately driven of a number of horses belonging to

 MT. Thomas Hughes, near Crittenden. It. Rucker at the time was already .Out on a scout but on receipt of the order repaired to Bowie and after fit ting out his party left there with ten men of the Sixth Cavalry and some 40

 Indian scouts. Reaching the vicinity .Of Crittenden he got the direction and soon found the cold trail of the In dians and stolen stock. With charac- teristic perseverance he followed this trail just where It led, over mountain, valley and canyon. He crossed the Huachucas, came into the White river lcountry and beat up into the Steins Peak range, quite regardless of advan- ltages of water or easy roads, and kept

 on as long as his supplies and allotted time to be out would allow. The trail

 led for a long distance northeasterly, then turned south or southeast, appar- ently to some old haunts of the South Iern Chiricahuas. He found that the Indians gained in numbers and stock

 as they proceeded and at points had killed and eaten some of their animals

 He followed the trail over hundred

 miles but he was so far behind that the most he could do, within his limit of supplies and time was to ascertain the probable locality of the Indians and return to Bowie for more men and fresh supplies. At the time time Mir ColtOn left Bowie It. Rucker had near ly and thoroughly reftted his new scout and would immediately start south and follow the trail wherever it led. And every one who knows him says he will do it.

Some one has written beautifully to the
boys in the following manner. Here is
whole sermon in few sentences:


Of all the love affairs in the world none
can surpass the true love of the big boy
for his mother. 1t is pure love and
noble, honorable IN the highest degree to
both. LIDO not mean a dutifui affection
mean love which makes boy gallant
and courteous to his mother, saying to
everybody that he is fairly in love with
her. Next to the love of husband, moth
ing so crowns woman's life with honor
as this second love, this devotion of son
to her. And I never yet knew boy
to 'sturn out bad who began by fall
ing in love with his mother: Any man
may fall in love with fresh-faced girl.
and the man who is gallant to the girl
may cruelty neglect the worn and weary
life. But the boy who is a lover to his
mother in her middle age, is true knight
who will love his wife as much in the
sere-leayen autumn as in the daisy spring
time. s,rg "a e4 ,,9,

boards, holes in the roofs, or doors and
windows that cape open and refuse to

the warm air will leak out. Such leaks
as these are disagreea5le TO see, and
are uncomfortable TO the occupants of
the buildings. But these are by no
means the whole Of the affair. The
