THE CRITICAL CONDITION OF FUANCE.
Yrom the X Y. 11,-rahl.
Our latest rnllo tlosrufchcs from Paris do
Hot show thut we, more than two thoiinnixl
miles nwny, esn'oraiotl tho sitnution in
Franco. 'v hud prci'ined the pulilie mind of
this country to regard tho election in France
as a test of' the French estimate of Napoleon
ism. 1 lio facts which the elections brought
out just itied our strongest statements. Tho
result, of the Paris elections was so clearly, so
fully, so emphatically finti-Napoleonic, that no
one, no matter what his previous opinion may
have been, was left room for doubt. Tho re
sponse made by tho other largo cities and
generally throughout tho departments was
quite ns decided and qui to as unmistakable.
Paris, tho lnrge cities generally, tho intelli
gent sections of the departments, have nil
spoken with ync voice, and that voice has,
without any qualification, condemned tho 0110
man government.
Tho situation is not much altered to our
view by the explanations which tho Govern
ment, through the acknowledged official jour
nals, has given to Franco and tho world. That
the Government was fully awaro of what was
to happen, and had takeu all the necessary
prccait ions to prevent serious results, Rooms
to us rather confirmatory of our views than
otherwise. 'When praiso is metod out libe
rally to the troops for their patience, firmness,
and moderation in suppressing tho disturb
ances, it convinces us, if conviction were neeos
sury, that anti-Napyloonic feelings were mani
fested, and manifested more strongly than we
have been encouraged to believe. Even the
Government and the Government journals can
not disguise the fact that tho situation really is
serious. Documents of secret societies havo
been seized, but only through tho instrumen
tality of paid spies and hireling agents. This,
however, is not all. The Duke do Persigny
is deeply exercised by all that has happened.
He has written to his friend Ollivier, tho one
French statesman who has advocated the joint
cause of Napoleonism and liberty, admitting
tho wisdom of Ollivier's position, and going
in for the empire and liberty on tho ground
that a just, firm government can bear tho ex
istence of every liberty. Tho Duko do Per
signy thus admits that Napoleonism, if it
would live, must change its base. From tho
Jjiet that Baron Haussmann has resigned his
position as Prefect of tho Koine, it is not un
reasonable to conclude that tho Duke do
Persigny foreshadows the future policy of tho
government.
Looking at all the facts of the case, and giviug
them a liberal interpretation, we can come to no
other conclusion than that the policy which
the Emperor for seventeen years has been
sedulously pursuing has been endorsed by tho
country and admitted by the Government.
It is now made abundantly manifest that the
Emperor has made a mistake: that his ideas,
grand aH some of them have been, have not
laid hold of the French mind, and that France
now, in place of being driven, must bo ha
inorod, fluttered, yielded to, and otherwise
gently led. It was evidently Napoleon's
opinion that if Franco could only be daz.led
by imperial splendor and success, X' ranee
would be satisfied. No doubt ho was so
far correct. The Kussian war, the Italian
campaign, the Grand Expositions, tho costly
improvements of Paris, all for a time had a
good effect. But wars and expositions are
expensive, and so is the remodelling of a great
city like Furis; and, unfortunately, tho Empe
ror has lived long enough to allow the ex
penses incident to such undertakings to loom
too piominently before the public mind.
This, however, does not fully state the case
The Grench people not only now see the
costly result of this splendid and protracted
show; they have been feeling, and they are
now feeling, that the success which for a timo
gratified their vanity has of late been totally
wanting. The Mexican blunder, with its
tragic results; still pains them. His inter
ference in the affairs of Italy has been to thorn
a doubtful benefit. His policy with regard
to Prussia is on all hands admitted to have
been a failure. He attempted too much
and accomplished too little. After seventeen
years of pretentious and rather brilliant impe
rialism, France discovers and, hesitates not to
proclaim, that she is not what she once was,
not what she thinks she ought to be; that ter
ritorially she is too straitened; that among the
powers of Europe she is no longer the first,
and that liberty, except in a form in which
liberty is an insult, is denied to her citizens.
In other words, France has declared that
twenty years of universal suffrage, coupled,
as universal suffrage has been, with impe
rialism, has been a mockery and a sham.
The question which more than once we
have asked already, is still the prominent
question of the hour What will Napoleon
do? Events have proved that to pursue the
policy which has become identified with his
name would be fraught with serious clangor.
His embellishment of Taris, which has made
that city at once the most beautiful city
and the most magnificent fortress in the
world, has not done so much for him as he
expected. A rising in Paris is now at
once more difficult and more easily put down.
The days of barricades are gone, but Paris is
not France in the old sense any longer. Tho
sympathy between the heart and the extremi
ties is as strong, nay, stronger than ever. It
is this strength of sympathy, in fact, which
constitutes the difference. The railroads and
the telegraphs have compacted the groat body,
and every pulse of tho body beats harmo
niously with the action of tho heart. In olden
times Paris alone felt and thought and acted,
and France was willing to follow. Now all
France feels and thinks equally with Paris, and
is equally ready to act. Paris is no longer
France, nor is France Paris. Yet Paris and
France are now more a unit thiui ever they
have been. To hold Paris now is only to hold
a part of France; and bloodshed in Puris now
would not fail to act as a signal for a general
rising ull over the country. In a conflict with
the people Napoleon knows well that it is now
dangerous to trust the troops too far. French
soldiers have found out the vulue of going with
the winning cause. A general rising, iu con
sequence, in present vircuuistances is a thing
to be avoided. To persist in his present
coune would be to provoke such a rising; and
it may be taken for granted that such a
course will not bo followed. Further reforms
have thus become a necessity. That some
thing will be done in this direction we havo
Ho longer any doubt. How far concession
Will go we must wait to see. In the present
latitude of l'russia, we must still be allowed
to say, there is an opportunity furnished Na
poleon for giving an outward (Urootion to
Freneh discontent. "We look for reform, but
as reform is only a means to an end, we shall
Dot be suipiihud to learn that reform is to bo
packed up by a foreign war.
SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS mOMOTINO I
CONCILIATION AND PLACE.
From the K. Y. Timet.
Governor Senter is resolved that thorc shVl
be nomisnpprehonsion of tho position ho occu
pies in the Tennessee contest. Ho means
that the battle with tho Stokes section of the
Republican party shall ho fought out squarely,
with no resort on either side to fal-iu pretense's.
'I he main issue separating them relates to tho
proscriptive measures which nre among tho
relics of the bitter conflict with Rebellion.
And while Stokes proclaims a purpose to up-
noli i 1110 (iisaiHUiioH onacted when tho ms-
sioiis of the conflict were at white licit,
Senter with equal emphasis avows himself a
convert to the magnanimous policy laloiNc l
liy I lie l liicago t a.ii velit ion, and approved by
General Giant in his intercourse with Vir
ginians and Congress. There is nothing hesi
tating or dubious in tho couiho pursued by
the Governor upon the subject. Ho mils the
only proper interpretation upon disfranchise
ment when he describes it as a tomporry
necessity growing out of tho needs anil
the situation ot the tunc: and adopted ' with
no expectation that, it would bo long con
tinued. He sees in it now tho cause of "rest
lessness and discontent," and in its history an
mlluence thut 'engenders animosities, dis
cord, and strife.' lie ascribes the desiro for
its perpetuation to "a selfish partisan ambi
tion to gain office or a selfish partisan fear of
losing it" an explanation so evidently ra
tional and just that it applies with a happy
suggestiveness to the proscript ionists of Mis
souri and West Virginia, as well as of Ten
nessee. For himself, Governor Senter dis
cerns in a policy of conciliation tho proper
path to peace and safety. In his judgment,
lie says, the time has come "when tho limi
tations and disabilities which have found
their way into our statute-books, as tho result
of the war, should be abolished and removed,
and tho privilege of the elective franchise re
stored and extended so as toembracetho mass
of the adult population of tho Stato." These
are sound and prudent utterances, whatever
the motives that prompt them, and it is satis
factory to know that the candidate who is re
sponsible for them has tho support of local
Republican journals and a powerful portion
of the party. His election on this basis
would give to the State a contentment and
prosperity never attainable by partisan harsh
ness and intolerance; and wo are not surprised
to hear that in the canvass ho is sustained by
an influential class whom tho events of the
last few years had driven into retirement.
Republicans of Mississippi, we are glad to
note, are preparing to reconstruct that State
on a platform identical with that, raised by
Senter in Tennessee. Tho Mississippi Ex
ecutive Committee, in a call for a Republi
can Stato Convention, invite the co-operation
of "all who desire the adoption of the new
Constitution, with every harsh feature omit
ted." A platform circulating in tho same
connection affirms the desirableness of recon
struction on the most liberal terms compatible
with Federal law, and of "tho removal of all
political disabilities on account of past politi
cal offenses, as soon as the Stato shall be re
constructed upon a republican basis." These
are not the whisperings of an enemy in dis
guise. Their harmony with the State Repub
lican Committee's call is proof that they reflect
a wide-spread and settled conviction. And
their significance is further enlmncodVhy closo
identification with the administration of
General Grant and the policy of Congress,
and by determined opposition to "the 2arty
and the sentiment which created the war and
opposed reconstruction."
Tho broad ground occupied by Republicans
in lennessee and Mississippi stands out in
bold contrast to the proscriptive policy which
in Virginia has its representative in the Wells
ticket. The same elements and motives that
are combined in Tennessee in behalf of
Stokes aro at work in Virginia in support of
Wells. "A selfish partisan ambition to gain
office" operates in conjunction with "a selfish
partisan fear of losing office; and the two,
united, make up Wells strength. The sensi
ble suggestions of Sonter, and the generous
E repositions of the Mississippi Committee,
ave their Virginia expression in the Walker
ticket, which aims at purging the local consti
tution of disfranchisement and political disa.
bilities, and electing an Executive and Legis.
lature deserving the respect and confidence of
the State.
As the first opportunity of testing the rela
tive strength of the movement for terminating
political disabilities and the movement for
perpetuating them, the lrginia campaign
possesses unusual interest. I he habit ol out
side Democrats is to represent the division as
one of color, and the result as typical of the
supremacy of blaok or white in the political
affairs of the State. But we trace no evidence
of a separation so defined, and tho attempt to
i -I e . 1 . " B a,.
create n proceeds irom no real regara ior me
welfare of either. It seems probable that
Wells will receive comparatively few votes
apart from those of the negroes, but there
are many localities in which the latter promise
to swell the vote for Walker. Such a result
is natural and greatly to bo desired. A rigid
division of races at the polls would be a
calamity too serious to be acquiesced in
cheerfully, and the moral strength of tho
Walker party in no small degree depends upon
its aiJititv to secure co-operation whore antag.
onism has been confidently predicted. This
effected, one chance of tho failure of the con
ciliatory policy alone remains; and that is the
chance arising from apathy on the part of
white citizens, or the disgust which some
affect because clauses to which they object
aro not to be submitted separately at
the election. The extent to which this
contingency affects the position of parties
will bo known when the registration
now m progress shall be completed. It it
prove a formidable reality, it will be another
instance oi me power oi prejuuice ami pas
sion, and of the folly which impels men to
throw away a substantial good because it does
not quite come up to their standard oi perlec

CUBA AND HER ALLIES.
.From the A". Y. Sun.
The importance to tho patriot cause in Cuba
oi the recognition of its republican govern
merit, not only as a belligerent but as a friend.
by Peru and Chili, appears to us not to have
been sufficiently weighed by those who have
commented upon it. Tho very wording of the
seconu arucie oi me decree by which the Lx
ecuiive oi i eru proclaims the will and inten
turn ot his people is highly significant. It
reads, "Ihe citizens, shios, and other nm
perties of Cuba which may servo the cause of
independence shall be considered as friends
of Peru.
The actual relations between Spain and
rem prior to the publication of this decree
were those of suspended hostility, renewable
ut the convenience of either party; and we
presume the Peruvian llepublio considered
well the rosnonsibilities ol her position be
fore thus casting her sword into the scale in
favor of the struggling patriot oi tviioa.
If, as would appear to be inevitable, active
hostilities are forthwith renewed by Peru
against Spain, or rife remt, the assistance
which the former may leader to Cuba may be
invaluable. In the first place, tho credit of
Peru in European money markets is fair, and
any expense incurred in inflicting a blow on
the common enemy would probably be gladly

purchased by Peruvian agents from our Gov-
rnment, and which wo last-hoard of at Bar-
badoes, were sold with tho condition that they
should not initiate hostilities against Spain
mtil they had readied Peruvian waters. But,
apart from the contingency of their being
attacked in transit it on account of this newly
declared friendship between Peru and Cuba,
which Spain may possibly construe into a
rupture of the actual suspension of hostilities,
Peruvian waters may bo reached without
doubling the Horn or threading tho nitrica-
ies of the Straits of Magellan.
THE BOSTON JUBILEE.
Vrmn the .V. 1'. Wm Ul.
The Boston Peace Jubilee has at last begun;
and although it is, on general principles, un
fair to condemn what we have not. heard, and
although it is not probable that Now Yorkers
will hear even tho six thousand anvils, more
or less, and tho park of artillery with which
icsthetic Boston purposes to accompany its
vocal emission ot "Hail Columbia, it is yot
quite safe to say that the Boston Peace Jubi
lee is a delusion and a snaro.
It has not the appearance of being got up
for any other human purpose than giviug au
excellent and cheap advertisement to certain
thrifty burghers of that town, and of filling
the pockets of its projectors and of the pub
licans of Boston directly, and the pockets of
tho whole tradespeople of Boston incidentally.
There is every prospect that, as a musical en
tertainment, it will issue in a disastrous
failure. Tho men who aro at the head of it
are such as nobody who knows anything about
tho matter will for an instant pretend to be
even among tho eminent and instructed mu
sicians of the country. Its nominal manager
s known mainly as tho loader of a "brass
band" which once accompanied Butler
whose personal "brass" one would think
might have dispensed Mm from the necessity
of maintaining this brazen adjunct to New
Oileiiiis and by its performance aggravated
the horrors of war to tho unfortunate inhabi
tants of that much-enduring city. He is
to Boston tho lesser analogue of the Dod
worth or the Grafulla of New York. Tho
latter two ave doubtless most worthy men and
bandmasters; but if they were to propose, on
behalf of the musical culture of New York,
to celebrate the completion of the Pacific
Railroad, or the laying of tho French cable,
or the ) rldx getting a now eight-cylinder
press, or any other great national event, tho
1 lutharmohic and the philanthropic of New
York would doubtlo.-s concur in a demurrer to
a claim so preposterous: and the aesthetic
cobbler who went thus far beyond his last
would bo sternly snubbed, and remitted to his
normal and fitter task of "furnishing music
for hops, balls, and private parties," or con
ducting an orchestra for the first live miles
ot tho trip of a Sound steamer. We ought
to apologize to them both for supposing that
they could be capable of impudence so ex
treme.
Yet an impudence even beyond this is
within the easy reach of the person who ful
fils their function for Boston; and this impu
dence has not encountered the slightest Bos-
toman snubbing. Ihe more respectable prints
and persons have devoured their disgust in
silence, and the baser sort have shouted ho
saunas to the "enterprise," the artistic spirit,
and the patriotism ot this musician who ap
plies the maxims of advertising to the prac
tice of art. It is t priirri impossible that an
enormous show like this can issue iu any real
good to anybody. As a means of aesthetic
culture, it is absurd to consider it. As a cele
bration of peace, it passeth all understanding.
But, as a business device, it is not ansurd
and it is perfectly intelligible. If it were put
upon the same footing that any other mana
ger would put any other concert on, we would
have no reason to complain. We could, to
be sure, compassionate the auditors
who were bo uniustructed as to fancy that
they were listening to the best interpretation
that could be had in America of tho best
music that ever has been written. We could
lament the clap-trap which put forward strange
and hideous clamors and clangors as the con
summation of a divine art. But these things
are so common that it would not affect us
with more nausea than we have a chance of
feeling almost every day. But, when the
manager of such a show appeals to us in the
character of a patriot and a philanthropist,
we have the right and the duty to tell him
that he is no such thing, but only an ordinary
man of business trying to make an extraordi
nary amount of money by disreputable and
unfounded pretensions.
As to the musical merit of the festival, it is
quite safe to say that New Yorkers who stay
at home and attend Central Park Garden
every night this week will hoar better music
better played than will any of the misguided
beings who have gone to Boston. Ami other
merit than musical the Boston Peace Jubilee
has none.
THE AMAZONS.
From the X. Y. Tribune.
We take back whatever we may have indis
creetly said concerning woman's lack of the
logical laculty. the ladies ot the bureau
seem to have a great deal more logical torce
than they havo any use for, and last Tuesday
they argued (or rather didn t argue) tho le
male warrior question with a surpassing
wealth of invincible demonstration. Airs
President Henry B. Stanton for instance
showed:
1. That there were a great number of fe
i;ale warriors in blouses and pantaloons in
our army during the Rebellion; but, so soon
as their sex was discovered, they were
drummed out of the ranks without any pay
'J. That, notwithstanding the pugnacity
thus exhibited, women, when they became
voters, would be all for peace, and "men
would no longer go out like wild beasts to tear
each others eyes out.
Does the lovely and logical President really
imiiK that "gouging Is a recognized military
operation? We beg permission to ask, if
there is to be no war any more, of what use
will be the splendid military ability which it
is jusi discovered that woman possesses! uu
tho w hole, we are not astonished to find our
warlike Mrs. President arguing that tho Asso
ciation should "not adopt ft resolution that I
seems to commit it to this or to that." "This
and that" are sometimos rather troublosonio
especially in black and white.
While our hand is in, wo may as well notice
a writer in The lAtrlifuld Knruirer, who coma
out against us to tho rescue of that eminent
virago, Queen Elizabeth, as follows:
"If Htm boxed Kssex's f-ar, ttinro Is no don'it the
puppy deserved It; anil, In the matter of cnma oir
heads, how ilnen flhe stand by tho mile of that royal
lJluobeard, her fattier ?"
The Virgin Queen did not cut off so miny
bends as her father, but she managed to exe
cute about two hundred Catholics, as such, i n the
course of her reign, "ten score," as Motley
snys, "too many;4 and he adds: "She was as
imperious and absolute by temperament as
her father had ever been." Lord Brougham
says of her: "An assassin in her heart, nay,
in her councils ainl her orders; an oppres
sor of the most, unrelenting cruelty iu hor
conduct; a hypocritical dissembler to whom
laisenood was habitual, honest frankness
strange; such is the light in which she ought
ever to bo held up, so long as humanity
and truth shall bear any value in tho eyes of
men."
