FIRST DATS OF TIIE FRENCH ASSEM
BLY. From the N. T. Tribune.
The opening scones of the Assembly at
Bordeaux are not sufficiently aooentedto
afford any sure Indication of the result whioh
is to follow from their deliberations. There
has bees some rather violent oorarnent by
Republican members on the fact of the doors
of the Assembly being guarded by soldiers;
one sanguinary patriot from Paris announcing
his intention to come in f ntnre to the sessions
armed. On the other hand, the elections of
officers bo far have been marked with the
greatest prudence end discretion. M. Greyy,
the President, was a member of the Third
party of 1869, so liberal and so fearless in his
opposition to the abuses of personal govern
ment that most of our contemporaries classify
him erroneously as a Republican. lie is
the same undaunted liberal that mounted the
barricades of 1830, the same unflinching
advocate of popular rights that withstood the
blandishments and plots of the Elysee in
1851, the same incorruptible tribune that re
cently twice defeated the Government in his
own district, when, after eighteen years of
seclusion, he came out again to attack afresh
the crumbling fortress of usurpation; but it
is too soon to claim him as a Republican.
If the will of Franoe. honestly expressed, be
in favor of the republio, she will find a true
and honorable servant in him. But his
early associations and later utterances alike
indicate his preference for the constitutional
monarchy.
Four Vice-Presidents have also been elected,
of the same highly respectable character. The
most advanced of these, Louis Joseph Martel,
has never been thus far graded as a Republi
can. He was a member of the Legislative
Body during the Government of July, and
was one of the earnest partisans of M. Thiers
in the debates of that day. He was promi
nent in the Third party just before the war.
Of his colleagues, Vicomte Benoist d'Azy was
an old and chivalrous champion of the Bour
bons before and after their expulsion in 1830,
and, since the shame and disgrace of the coup
d'etat, has retired entirely from politios until
called forth in his vigorous age by the shook
of war and revolution to take part in the re
construction of the country. Ludovic Vitet
is also rather a memory of the past than an
active politician of to-day; his last term of
Bervice in the Legislative Body ended twenty
years ago. Maleville, the fourth Vice-President,
also ended his publio life on the day
the liberties of France were strangled by Na
poleon and his gang of conspirators. Up to
that time he, as well as Vitet, had been dis
tinguished among the friends of M. Thiers
and partisans of the limited monarohy.
With suoh a tendency of the Chambers in
dicated by its choice of offioers, it will be
readily seen how premature if not entirely
apocryphal was the London despatch pub
lished by the morning papers reoently an
nouncing that the majority had agreed upon
a Provisional ' Government, of which M.
Thiers was to be the head, and the leading
members of the present Republican Commit
tee the most prominent members. A propo-.
Bltion has been introduced for conferring
upon the veteran statesman full powers of
forming a Cabinet, signed by the weighty
names of Dufaure, Maleville, and Vitet, who
are all old friends and life-long parti
Bans of his. The House of Orleans, among
all its moBt precious possessions, has
nothing to be compared with the faithful and
disinterested devotion of this great soholar
and politician. There must of necessity be
something worthy of regard and respect in
the Princes of a family which has been able
to retain through twenty-three years of exile
and misfortune the warmest devotion of such
enlightened men as those who have come to
the surface in the last great oonvulsioa of
France.
MM. Favre and Picard have arrived in Bor
deaux to receive the instructions of the As
sembly in regard to the German terms of
peace. These will probably be given in what
ever sense the Prussian Cabinet may direot.
All parties seem anxious that the question of
peace Bhould be disposed of before that of the
definite reconstruction of the country is ar
ranged. All factions will feel easier when
the overpowering presence of Bismarck is re
moved from their borders; and the election
of a king would be of ill omen if it were
made while France was writhing under the
conqueror's heel.
CAUSE OF THE DECADENCE OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
From the N. F. Sun.
General Grant has now held the Presiden
tial office about two years. The Republican
party had never been so strong at any pre
vious period of its existence as when he en
tered the White House. It had just come out
of a protracted contest with Andrew Johnson,
whom it had completely prostrated, and out
of a sharp and severe struggle with the De
mecracy, winning a triumph so signal that it
seemed to have well nigh accomplished their
ruin.
Where stand the two parties to-day ? The
Republicans have lost nearly all their strong,
holds in the Southern States, while six of the
States in the North and West that voted for
Grant have gone over to the Democracy, and
with the apparent intention of staying there.
In Congress, as well as out of it, we see the
party widely divided on cardinal measures,
while its eminent leaders seem quite as eager
to make war on each other as to combat their
common foe. We hear of serious divisions
in the Cabinet on questions of great moment,
and the oountry believes that nothing pre
vents its breaking up exoept the fear that this
would be followed in March by an organiza
tion of the new House of Representatives by
means of a coalition between the Democratic
members and those Republicans who are
avowedly hostile to Grant's renomination, or
who dissent from some leading measures of
the party.
How does it happen that the Republican
party is in this perilous position ? The reason
is obvious. It has been compelled to traverse
a critical stage in its career under a leader
whose incapacity to guide its comse is only
equalled by his India erence to the disasters
that flow from his blunders. When passing
through the transition period between the
old slavery controversies and the new issues
sure to spring up after their settlement, it
was essential to the continued supremacy of
the party that a clear head and a strong hand
should direct its affairs. At this supreme
juncture it was a great misfortune tlut the
party found itself burdened with a President
incapable of broad views of publio question,
destitute of all experience as a politician, and
unwilling to call to his Cabinet those who
rould snpply his own deficiencies. The crisis
demanded a statesman of comprehensive
vision like Henry Clay, who could strike out 1
a new series of measures suited to the exi
gency; or a chieftain like Andrew Jaokson,
who by bis personal qualities could win to
his side a liberal share of the intellect of the
country, end inspire the masses with enthu
siasm for bis leadership.
But Grant was not merely inoompetent to
perform such work as this; he had not the
slightest disposition for attempting it. His
tastes lay quite in other directions. In this
crisis of the Republican party, instead of
marking out for it a new policy, and aiming
to harmonize and consolidate its ranks, he
bas seemed intent upon indnlging petty
spites against its independent members,
supplying fat offices to the endless retinue
of bis poor relations, sliding through
Congress some slippery job for the gratifica
tion of panders to his vanity, aocepting
valuable presents with one hand while be
stowing lucrative places upon the donors
with the other; but never for one moment
rising to the level of his high position, nor
feeling the pressure of its weighty responsi
bilities. If looks as if Grant himself had begun to
see that he must do something to retrieve
bis waning hold upon the Republican party,
and hence his dash at San Domingo, and his
special message to Congress tending to re
kindle the smouldering embers of sectional
animosity in the Southern States. But all
such despairing efforts to restore his lost
prestige distract rather than harmonize the
Republican party, and cover with a darker
cloud its prospects of suocess in 1872. That
Grant as a statesman is a lamentable failure
nobody doubts. Whether he will succeed in
altogether ruining the party that elevated him
to power remains to be determined.
THE REV. DR. VINTON ON ST. DO
MINGO. From the Jf. T. Jftrald.
The letter on St. Domingo of the Rev. Dr.
Vinton, of the Trinity Protestant Episcopal
Church of this city, furnishes some very
strong testimony in behalf of the annexation
of that beautiful and fertile tropical island.
In reference to the advantages which we
shall secure and give to the island with
this desirable acquisition, the learned doc
tor brings forward an intelligent volunteer
witness whose experience of forty-one years
in the West Indies qualifies him to
speak as by authority on the subject.
This witness is the British Governor Walker,
of the Bahama Islands, the capital of which
is the flourishing little commercial city of
Nassau, N. P. Governor Walker earnestly
hopes that the United States will secure the
island of St. .Domingo: first, because the in
troduction of our civilization and culture will
redeem the society of the West Indies; and,
secondly, because the soil and productions of
the island, surpassing those of any other, not
excepting Cuba, would enrich our country
beyond any cost that its acquisition would
demand. But the evidence upon this point,
from Christopher Columbus down to General
Grant, is overwhelming, and so we need not
enlarge upon it.
Next Dr. Vinton, from the hint of an old
sea captain, calls the attention of General
Grant to a chart of the West Indies, if he
would be convinced of the naval and com
mercial importance of this splendid island,
in view of a ship canal aoross the isthmus of
Darien or Panama. The enthusiasm of our
distinguished divins for this annexation car
ries mm bo far that ne wishes Lis old friend
and schoolmate, Senator Sumner, would
give up his opposition to the schema
and Bee the matter in a different
light. We fear, however, that Sumner is past
praying for, and we are quite sure that the
good work can and will be done without him.
But our learned doctor, in the very outset
of his interesting letter, suggests the acquisi.
tion of St. Domingo as a sanitarium a win
ter residence for our invalids; and he says
that the universal wish of those at Nassau is
"for a resort on American soil in the West
Indies for the benefit of invalids" a wish
expressed in a longing for the annexation of
St. Domingo. To many of our readers who
have learned to associate St. Domingo only
with the yellow fever, this wish of American
invalids at Nassau may seem somewhat out
of the way; but St. Domingo, especially among
its beautiful and fertile mountains, which
cover a large portion of the island, enjoys a
charming and salubrious climate. We have
no doubt that within a year or two from its
acquisition its winter resorts for our Northern
invalids will be oocupied by thousands, and
that a new lease of life will thus be gained
to the most of them.
We have east of the Pacifio slope no desira
ble winter resort on United States soil for the
invalid who wishes to escape our dreadful
winter winds. They sweep down through
Texas and to the Gulf coast in its whole ex
tent, even at times to the southern extremity
of the peninsula of k lorida. r or instance, we
have noticed in our telegraph reports a diffe
rence of fifteen degrees in the winter between
the temperature of Key West (which is in the
midst of the string of small islands which ex
tend out into the Gulf Stream from the
southern cape of Florida) and the tempera
ture of Havana, a hundred miles only across
the water. This difference comes from our
cold northern winds, the chill of which is
felt even at Key West, but is never felt at
Havana, because of the intervening warm
atmosphere of a hundred miles in width, rising
from the Gulf Stream. St. Domingo, lying
several hundred miles still farther south, is,
of course, entirely exempt from chilling
winds, and January among her mountains is
soiter and more delicious than June in vir
ginia, and her July temperature never rises to
the maximum of Long Branoh. We therefore
cordially approve Dr. Vinton's idea of St.
Domingo as a sanitarium for our invalids who
wish to escape to some island of refuge under
'the old flag," thank God, free from the chill
ing and searching winds of our continental
winters.
METROPOLITAN AND COUNTRY EDI
TORS.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
The editor of the metropolitan journal oc
cupies a position whioh entitles him to lecture
"the county (or country) editors" on the way
to oonauci ineir Dusiness. we nave a metro
politan neighbor, to wit. the Commercial.
ho assumes this prerogative with such alao
rity and zeal that our own metropolitan duty
rK v J "gniened. Upon the coming event
of the annual meeting at "th
country) editors," or, in fact, the Ohio edi
tors, at Akron, next week, the Commercial
aamiDJHiers a lesson on the way to conduct a
countveditorial convention and a county
paper. Firstly, they must not aooept any
deadhead entertainments, and must not bend
tuemgelves to pleasure, nor think of having
good time, but must buck to business. And
their first business should be to declare
against their free carrying in the mails within
im ir respoolive counties.
Thus thtv must imitate the stern virtues
and business devotion of the metropolitan
editors, who in thoir conventions and asso
tihted press meetings never accept free ride
or excursions, or trips to mamuiotu caves,
nor run foot-races, tut ricidlv Insist on eat
ing and drinking nothing but what eaoh one
pays for, and will not allow their minds to be
diverted for one moment from business.
ext, they must not imitate the city papers
in matter or manner. They must leave na
tional and metropolitan and European affairs
to the metropolitan editors, who by virtue of
their situation are made competent to discuss
them, and must confine themselves to their
county news and affairs. For example:
i ne more attention a county editor gives to
county aflnlrs the better paper of H kind will he
make, and If he perseveres the freater will be his
reward. Tne standing objection to country paper
a that they are to a great extent imitation of city
rnprra. If a country editor will nil till sheet wltti
be Intelligence of hta localit?, there will be no trou
ble among bis neighbors, getting the nelffhborhood
news In his paper, about a few cents postage per
quarter.
Thus the rural mind should be trained to
look to the metropolitan journals for light
upon national politios. How can the oountry
editor be expected to know State and national
politics or other large affairs ? On the other
hand, the metropolitan editor knows all these
things by instinct. . True, the news of a rural
county does not always afford matter enough
to absorb an expansive mind; and besides,
every American-born is by his birthright a
politician, and has a mind much occupied
with national politios; but it is improbable
that a county editor can discuss these as
wisely as a metropolitan editor; therefore, the
county press should eschew national politics
and turn their subscribers over to the metro-
rolitan journals for this wisdoxi.
IPerhaps it will occur to the rural mind that
the local affairs of a metropolis are much
greater than those of a rural county, and that
the more natural arrangement would be for
the metropolitan journals to occupy them
selves with local matters, lea viae national
affairs to the less locally occupied rural jour
nals. This would unquestionably be a better
division of the labor; but unfortunately the
county editor, be he never so wise, is inca
pable of disoussing national politics, while
the metropolitan editor, be he neyer so igno
rant, can write on these topics without end.
Indeed, he not infrequently makes of his
ignorance of political history and political
principles his highest qualification for a ready
political writer.
