Here is a very readable English translation
of a work which in French luta already attained
inch celebrity as must have greatly delighted
the publisher s—for we read in the newspapers
that 'between the prabies of Its friends and tbe
censures of its enemies—tiust between the
strange, but of course unintentional and purely
fortuitous, co-operation in its behalf of ap
preciation and depreciation—of salvos ,of
welcome front the free-thinkers and thunders
of denunciation from the orthodox—of plau
dits from the lyceum and anathemas from the
chuich--thia superficial but brilliantly written
volume of rationalistic theology, biography,
exegesis, historical criticism, or what aloe. (for
it is a little of everything and not much of
anything, except yerhaps surprising examples
of cool assumption and flippant assertion,)
has reached the amazing meccas, commer
cially spooking, of a ale of 35,000 copies I
As M. Ronan presents his opinions in an agree
able, indeel an engaging style, speaking of
his work from a purely litenuypoint of view,
and as he is an accredited scho lar in the ori
ental languages, which saves hinrfrom the
folly of denying the authenticity of the sacred
writings, like the skeptics of the last genera
tion, and the more illiterate of those of our
time, it may be an Interesting and even pro-
Stable study for the stadtnt who has not yet.
examined . that phase of modern rationalism,
which probably reached its fullest and most
adequate expression in Stranas's celebrated
Lebec Jens,published in 1835' to 'open this vo

and clearness of exposition • that are almost
characteristics of French, as distinguished
from Garman, scholarship, and ace what this
now method of historical and critical inquiry
really is, how it is applied, and winder° its
results. After such examination, he will be
more than ever before, we think, ready to ex

We noticed, some time ago, the "French

casion in doing so to commend. the'care and
die criminationotith which Pref.lCiapp had per
task lie had undertaken. We are
happy to say that the present work on French
Grammar deeervoe equal commendation at
our hands. For a thorough eleatentary course
in the French language, as wall as for the
more advanced course, which contemplates
not only translating from books, but the ful
ler mastery and readiness required for the
purposes, of writing and conversation, we
now not that any better text-book can be
found than Professor Knapp has here sup
plied—speaking 'from the !repression it has
made on us during a somewhat pains-taking
examination of Its arrangement and peculiar
features. We consider it to be well adapted
to meet all the reasonable requirements of the
student who would attain a thorougti and
practicanowledge of the French language
—that is, as for as any grammar, or any book,
can meet them.

In the absence of Mr. Dorrington, Mr. W.
J. Montgomery was chosen Secretary pro
tan.
Mr. Hare, Chairman of the Committee of
Conference and Inspection, made a verbal re
port to the effect that, since the last meeting
of the Association, he bad made another effort
to call the committee together, but only three
members attended.
A discussion then followed open the import
ance of having a report of the condition of
the Fire Department, previous to the meeting
of the new councils, but the fact was apparent
that a majority of the committee hid no in
tention of performing their duty.
It was then ordered that thg members ab
senting themselves from the meetings of the
Committee should be tined.
A discussion then followed upon the pro
priety of enforcing that clause in the consti
tution which provides that any member ab
senting himself from two consecutive meet
ings of the Association, without giving a rea
sonable excuse, shall forfeit his seat in the
Association.
The list of absentees was called over, ma
Goes imposed in every instance.
On motion, the seat of Mr. Woods, delegate
from the Independence, was declared vacant,
and the Secretary requested to notify him of
the fart.
Mr. Capples moved that the Secretary be re
quested to notify the Committee on Fire En
gines and Hose of Councils) that thelliagara
Fire Company cannot use the now hose lately
furnished to them, in consequnce of the info.
riority of the couplings.
The motion gave rise to considerable dis
cussion.
The President stated that the Vigilant bad
no trouble with the couplings furnished with.
their hose, and that there must have been
some mistake made in ordering the couplings.
Mr. Guppies stated that the hose could not
be need until the couplings were bored gat,
and he thought ft very strange that the
Vigi
lant were so eucoessful in getting a good or
dole, while other companies were imposed
upon with couplings almost worthless.
Mr. Hare stated that the hose furnishedthe
Eagle wore of a very Inferior quality, and be
had notified the Chairman of the Como:dab°
on Engines and lipse of the fact.
After some further ,dismission on the sub-.
ject, the motion of Mr. Clippies prevailed and
the Association adjourned.

OZOLNIZATION" OP Tfl UOUBI
WASIitACTOII, Dec, 7.--The happy and
speedy organization of the House to-4y, is
loathe timidity of Emerson'Etheridge, rather
than to any leek of dishonest efforts. He
neat just far enough to demonstrate his caps-.
city for high-handed outrages, but got fright
ened and stopped short before going far
enough to mlize any benefit from it. The
Administration men all suPPoseil if he wen(
to the length of excluding . from his list the
names of Maryland and other delegations,be
would twist nit maintaininkthis list as a roll
of the house until an organization had been
effected. It was determined, however, to be
gin by trying to amend the roll by adding
the names he had loft off, and to the manifest
disgust of the Dynamite. _lns 'kneel aktollee
became weak sale suceolned. Tbatprinti
mbility ended the matter. all that' remained
was to move successively to read the cer
tificates of each delegation he jhad
left off . and to order their cameo put
on the cell. lie had omitted tbo names of all
the members from Maryland, Virginti4West
Virginia, gnaws and. Oregon, and a 9 from
Missouri h eave two copperheads, and had put
on the. names of three - bins membeli from
Louisiana. The. Adminietration soon first
called for the reading Of ilartificates of mem
bers from Maryland. On reading, thcyproved
to be from the Governor; to be duly certified
by seal and signature, ta recite the law of
Maryland under which they Were 011544, end
to specify with partionlareare titay.hey. Were
elected in accordance with this law. 'Nothing
could of course be plainer than this,.and a
motion wan Instantly mige 144 ring-them to
put the names onj. trot in calling the yeas and
nays he could only be required to call from
the roil ho had already made, hand it was
feared the remaining AdrainietratiOn men on
it would not be sufficient to have i majority,
To the dismay, however, of the conspirators,
(mites masher of Democra ts, disgusted with
bare faced fraud, voted for the resolution re
quiring Etheridge to put the names on,
while othere refused to eats against it, eo it
was carried by twenty-odd majority, and the
five Maryland men, four of 'limn Administra
tion roes, were put on the roll. After that, ell
was easy, and other excluded members, their
certificates having been read and found equal
ly good] were successively voted on. Ethe
ridge,
fitird the rooment'of tbg fret vote, hav
ing became exceedingly olisequiour, and
manifestlY cowed. On proceeding to the
election of Speaker further demoralization of
Democratic discipline was discovered.
It appeared that no mucus nomination on
their ride had hoestmade for Speaker, Poodle- !
ton having withdrawn, and the CAUCt.IS having
refused to nominate Cox. Their vote was
ecatterred on Cox, Dawson„Mallory, Stebbins,
King, Prank Blair and Stiles. The Adminis
tration men from the Northern States voted
"square through fur Colfax, Brutus Clay,
'Lucien Anderson, Clay Smith, and William
D. Randall, of Kenteeky ; Winter Davis,
Webster, and Creswell. of Mary land ; Blow,
Boyd, McClurg, and Loon, of NIMPOUTI
Smithere, of Delaware,,and all the West Vit.-
girds members formed the border State column
who voted for Colfax. lie had nine votes
morlthan a majority ever all•competiters and
had a majority of fifty-nine over little Mr.
Samuel Cox. Admit* have bad three votes
more, but fur the oillitnelair':cd , the Virgints'
membere, and `would. have had three less
agalasthim had the bogus Louisiana mem
bers been plaited ouihnfays....instead of after
the election. This would have brought his ,
majority up'to fifteen. That is about the prac
tical working Admlnistrationtnejority.
In the House; to-day, the announcement of
Mr. Colfax's election was received with pro
longed applause from the galleries, in which
the members on the floor heartily joined.
Mr. Colfax's speech receives univarsal praise.
The prevalent remark about it Is, that he
said jut enough, said it in the best possible
way, and stopped when be got done.
Mr. Brooks, of N. T., manifested a disposi
tion to lead off on the Democratic side, but
got handsomely 'nabbed. He tried to filli
buster, and his party refused to fillibuster
with him.
Mr. Frank Blair had the honor of being
put in nomination, and voted for Speaker by
the bogus Louisiana members.
The galleries were densely packed during
the proceedings, and the floor was covered by
• crowd of distinguished strangers, conspicu
ous among whom wore Henry Wadsworth,
Longfellow, Horace arealy, Ben. Heintzelman,
the members of the Senate and a hest of the
members of the last House.
ISIS DEMUR GOVERNOR Of LOUISIANA
The bogus Governor of Louisiana, who
signed the bogs* members' certificates with hie
private seal, was Postmaster in Now Orleans
under the rebel government, when Butler
entered that city. Oneef the bogus members
was inside the rebel lines at the time of the
pretended election, and was sent through by
them that be might &me on and take his
seat. Thad. Stevens ',tatted in debate that
they had applied already to the Sergeant-at-
Arme for their pay and mileage.

there Is no remedy at law. Minors between

Dick Taylor, and a sort of flying corm ap

The 'merchants of New Orleans and trades

to have all the river boat: armed.
Gen. Washburn., with his command, is
