V. THE DAILY EYeiNG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JUNE 12, 1871 THE FALL OF TEE COMMUTE. From the London Saturday Jtevitw. At last the reign of the Commune ia over, and one of the strangest forms of government tha world baa ever seen has disappeared ssiidst bloodshed, fire, and general rain. For two months the Commane has been master of Paris, has wielded its resonroes, controlled its inhabitants, and made it defy the rest of France. A concurrence of cironmstances withont parallel placed this power in its hands. The Emperor chose to make war while utterly nnpropared. His preoipitation led to the disaster of Sedan, then Sedan led to the revolution of September, and the instal lation of a Republican Govern mont led to the arming of all the dangerous classes of Paris. "When peace eame there was no French Gov eminent able to think and aot for France. M. Jules Favre, a weak-minded and emotional Republican, could not think of dis arming other Republicans, or of allowing the Germans to disarm them. Subsequently he asked pardon of Qod and man for not having accepted Prinoe Bismarck's suggestion that the terms of capitulation should include the disarming of the National Guard. His pardon may be easily granted, for it needs much less than omniscience to know that a gushing rhetorician raised to precarious power for a moment is not the man to appre ciate the gravity of political dangers. When it was too late the Government of which he was a member decided to deprive the Na tional Guard of its artillery. The attempt was made in the true modern French fashion. Nothing was thought of, no preparations were made. The Government troops easily cap tured the artillery, but no one had reoollected that artillery cannot move itself. So the troops had to sit where they were till horses should come. Meanwhile the people began to talk to the troops, and it suddenly struck these warriors that there was no reason why they should slay one man more than another. French society had been decomposed into those loose and conflicting elements which it is the one business of society to make into a whole. No one could see why one man, or one cause, or one set f theorists should be preferred to another. A few resolute men saw their opportunity and seized on the Gov ernment of Paris. What was called the Government instantly effaced itself. It made no appeal, it ran no danger. It merely walked off gently and prudently to Versailles, and left Paris to take care of itself. The day of the insurrec tion had been Btained by the murder of two generals in cold blood, and a few days subse quently, either in a panic or at the instigation of those who wished to bring matters to a crisis, a body of armed men fired on an un armed crowd in the IUie de la Pail. The effect was exactly the same as when the same manoeuvre had been practised by the Empe ror at the time of the coup d'etat. The citi zens were cowed, and the National Guard could no longer retreat from their position. The reign of the Commune was definitely installed, and it soon appeared that the ruling body consisted of two sections a larger body, properly called the Commane, consisting of persons elected or supposed to have been elected by the different districts of Paris; and a smaller body who exercised the real control, and who were either composed of, or were guided by, the Internationale, a secret society instituted for establishing a brotherhood of Socialism and Republicanism in every conn try. It soon appeared how ever, that the new Government did not govern so badly as had been expected; that it preserved some sort of public order, and was courteous to foreigners; and that it was really supported by a considerable amount of pnblio opinion in Paris. The claims and wrongs of Paris were thus farced on the at tention of Europe, and it was generally ac knowledge that, if the real issue between Paris and Versailles had been whether Paris and the large towns of France should be kept down by the army of a Government supported by the priests and peasants of rural France, it was Paris that had the best of the argument. It was notoriously true, moreover, that the re public was net only in danger, bat was doomed so far as the Assembly of Versailles could doom it, and the Parisians who thought a republio worth fighting for had at least the excuse of knowing that, if they did not fight for it, no one else would. It has been nataral in England to talk of the government of the Commune as of the government of the mob, and the lesson is supposed to be set ns by the catastrophe of Paris not to deal gently with our own mobs in case of need. Certainly English mobs should be summarily put down with as much force as may be necessary. But there is very little similarity between the Commune and an English mob, excepting so far as that in each case it is the lowest classes of sooiety threatening the higher. An English mob is a tumultuary gathering of useless, obnoxious people, with no definite purpose and no notion of fighting, whose principal if not only object is to see how much the Robbies under the direction of a tearful Secretary of State can be got to stand. The police persuade them to go away, their leader is made a County Court Judge, and the matter is at an end. The reason why such mobs should be at once put down is that the per sons composing them are perilously demora lized by navmg their respect for the law diminished, and that they subject large num bers of quiet, orderly persons to inconveni ence and danger. Who can think that such a description can be applied to the character and doings of the Commune during the last two months? The Commune had distinct aims, a distinct organization, and has fought with courage and resolution. It had a cause and a power of its own. It formed a body of enemies to those who differed from it. It had a creed in which it believed, which it was prepared to promulgate and to defend at every risk. It was forced into prominence by the extraordinary accident or bavin" a forti tied city and an unlimited supply of warlike stores delivered into his bands at a moment when there was no Government and no army to oppose it. The Red Revolutionists are a party in Franoe just as the Imperialists and Legitimists are a party. One French party was inside Paris, and a combination of other parties was outside Paris. This is probably the explanation of the carious mixture of apathy and bitterness wnicu France has ex bibited during the struggle. It looked on with something bordering on equanimity to see which party would win, while the mem bers of every party seoretly chuckled over the glorious license of partisan 'vengeance in which they proposed to revel if their prty happened to be successful. The balance was tolerably equal so lone as civilian Fraaue was left to itself , but gradually the prisoner irom uermany came no, and tne army d- cided the contest. This shows a state of things even more dangerous to France than if 1 ranee bad really been for two montns under the rule of a mob. Pans, until the incendi arista began, suffered much less than it would have suffered from mob rule, but it coffered less because the miachief of distinct ucfttical parties baa eaten into the heart of France, and each triumphant party strives to aot, not as a mob, but as a Government. What ia the eiaot creed of the Red Republicans, . and what are the principles and opinions they so tenaoiously defend, it might be hard to state positively. They are in some degree Social ists, although Socialism does not appear to influenoe them so powerfully as might be ex pected from the language of those who always call them Socialists because this is the strong est term of abuse at hand. They are filled with a deep hatred and envy of all persons who have the advantages whioh wealth, edu cation, and station confer. They detest above all thing strong centralized military powers. This is the link that binds together in their ranks the adventurers driven from Poland, from Germany, and from Italy. They hate and despise the priests, whom they look on as the toolsjand slaves of these military powers, and they revolt from the religion whioh they regard these priests as teaching in the interest of despotisms. In their fanaticism they are capable of all the acts in which fanatics rejoice. They have burnt the noblest buildings of Paris, not only to gratify a momentary thirst for venganoe, but to show their horror of all the things on which their enemies the kings, and priests, and soldiers, and oonrtiers dolight. The destruction of the Tuileries, of the Sainte Chapelle, and the Ilotel de Ville stand on very much the same footing ns the destruc tion of the abbeys and cathedrals of Scotland by the followers of John Knox; and it only seems dinerent to ns at first because we are accustomed to the fierceness and vandalism of religious sects, but we are not familiar wit h the notion of an equal fervor of politioal hatred. France is now transported with just indig nation at the burning of Paris, and foreigners can find no words too strong to condemn the atrocities with which the Commune has closed its career. If men choose to fill their hearts with unreasoning hatreds, and in their blind fury to spare nothing by which their neigh bors Bet store, it is not because they are fanatics that a word is to be whispered in their defense. The Commune has been stamped with the infamy of this odious in cendiarism, just as the First Republio was stamped with -the infamy of the September massacres and the murder of Marie-Antoinette. But if we look at the future politics of France, we are bound to confess that the punishment which will follow on this dread ful act will not be in all probability the end ing of the present troubles of the country. If this punishment is inflicted in the spirit which freely finds expression at Versailles, if the thirst for blood of a beaten and demoral ized military class is gratified, if reaction goea so for as to let Ultramontanism become rampant, the hatred of the beaten party will not only be intensified, but will communicate itself to thousands who are now more or leBS indifferent. But even if things go on as well as can be hoped for, if M. Thiers re mains master of the situation, and under takes the task assigned him in the spirit of a statesman, it is impossible not to see, in the reign of the Commune and in the burn ing of Paris, symptoms of a malady whioh aflects 1 ranee much too radically for any Government to cure quickly or easily. Per- naps it is some or tne smaller signs of the times that are most worth noticing. The picture of the inhabitants of Paris filling up every assailable crevice on the outside of their houses to prevent women and children from throwing down petroleum, the firemen called by the Government pumping petro leum into the houses they were pretending to save, the regiments of Amazons, and the dis gusting insults bestowed by the women of Versailles on these Amazons when captured, eave an impression of a generation grown up, and a generation growing up, in an atmos phere of recklessness, fanaticism, treachery, and cruel cowardice which is perhaps more painful than this of hearing that all that made Paris grand and beautiful is gone or injured. Nor are we sure that this burning of l'ans will not have a sort of fascination in time for some of the French themselves. However much they have nominally disapproved of the reign of terror, a large class of the littera teurs of i ranee have always shown a pride in the excesses of Jacobinism. They like to think that Frenchmen dare to do and dream of doing things which it would not enter into the hearts of other men to conceive. The burning of. Paris is but the end of a sensation novel on the largest possible soale, and the country men of Eugene Sue and Dumas will relish the thought of a catastrophe so diabolically grand. A French journal published in the interests of imperialism a few days ago indulged in a series of sneers at the Commune, as a mere pigmy by the side of the Revolution of 179:5. It did nothing strong, terrible, and worthy to be called revolutionary. It had not the orgueil du mat, as the journalist expressed it it had no proper pride in being transcendently wicked. This reproach at least is now taken away. The Coivmune will be no longer sneered at as a pigmy. It has graven its ter rible history on Paris far more effectually than if it had Bent some hundred priests and aristocrats to the guillotine, and the French men who ask for signs of the orgueil da mal before they can worship and admire anything win aamit tnat in tms respect ine aeiesieu Commane has shown itself worthy of its country.
