jaBt emerged from, two bloody und
disastrous wnrs, WCJQ iu a atftto of oivll
?anarchy, and the nation, was o?ntonfc to

alarms should bo no longer heard, and
as the only one that could be sustained
st-tbe time, without aggravation of the
publip calamity. It was a provisional re?
sort, to be adhered to at least until a
.?compl?te .restoration of quiet, when
some candid expression of publie opinion
could be .safely given. The Savannah
Republican thin ka thia evident from the
ladt ?hat, although the monarchists and
imperialista constitute large parties-iu
Franco-perhaps more than a mere ma?
jority of her people-their voices wero
almost entirely unheard in the election;
at least they voted for the present go?
vernment as the only one that oould be
set up peacefully under- existing circum?
stances. Su oh, at least, is our own
- opinion of the matter, and the future
-will determine whether we aro right or
wrong.
ROYALTY AND RICOHS,-Time was when
lunge owned their realms and all their j
-?abjecte, and all that those subjects pos?
sessed. This was in the day of divine
'right, and no monarch thought of a
'?rainy day;'* but in these latter times,
'when the poople are becoming uncom?
fortably intelligent, avery wino king puts]
away a portion of his inoome, and invests
in foreign countries, in expectation of a
flitting. Napoleon I was unfortunato io
.being caught by "the most generous of j
his enemies," bat Louis Philippe made
money and gavo his family a luxurious
.home in England. Napoleon III feather?
ed an English nest for his wife and son.
Isabella, of Spain, continues her plea?
sures with gold prudently sent away in
'her prosperous days, Viotor Emanuel,
?not;Ioug si nco a penniless king, is now
the possessor of 820^000,000 ia money
alono; and it is said that Albert, the ju
dioioas Prinoe-Ooosort of England, fore?
seeing the spread of Republicanism and
.danger to royalty, enjoined that economy
which the Queen ao rigorously praotioes,
saying: "The time may come when the
. savings you lay by now will be the only
.?-resp n roos left you." There never was a
?more moral, prudent and Troll behaved !
"family than that of Victoria, and yet)
' there never was a time in English histo?
ry wnen royalty was so lightly, esteemed
as now. _
The Paris correspondence of the Lon?
don Mercantile Gazette says that it is cal
culf.tod that by death, emigration and
arrests, the population of Paris has di?
minished by one-?ighth during the last
.twelve months. The city looks gloomy
and empty, and tho only Bho.w of ani?
mation about it is imparted by the tour
.ist?, who ooma to look at its ruins.
Numbers o' wealthy French families aro
leaving tho ci ty, and tho foreign, colonies
caa hardly be said to exist. If tho As?
sembly should persist in remaining out
of Paris, years must elapse before the
city pan recover its old appearanco of
gayety.'

blazing in all its former glory, but the
blood v traces of Ibo terrible oonfliots
that raged within its walls have all die
appeared, in certain quarters of the city,
under tho axe and, shovel of thousands
of workmen, and, with the exception of
the most important ruina, and the scene
of destruction outside the fortifications,
it is becoming- daily a rare occurrence to

STORM LAST SATURDAY.-On Saturday
afternoon, a very heavy storm of wind
and rain passed over this oity, prostrat?
ing reveral fruit and shade trees, and
injuring others by breaking off their
branches. East of the city, we learn, a
very heavy foll of hail ocourred on some
of the farms, by which the corn blades
were pelted into ribbons, and muoh of
the corn blown down.
At the commencement of the storm,
the residence of Mr. T. H. Oole, five
miles East of this place, was streck by
lightning, the stroke taking effect on the
corner of the building, doing but slight
damage outside, and then making ita
way inside to a closet, where it scattered
tho glass and orookery therein and splin?
tered a portion of the wood work. In
this room, a girl was sitting with one of
Mr. Cole's children in her lap. They
were both thrown to the floor by the
shock, but suffered no injury. Beyond
the alarm created by the sudden danger,
none of the rest of the family were
affected.-Oreen ville Mountaineer.

iron: Memphis, Tonn., taking tho train
for Huntsville, Ala. As there is a doss
of people who are ready to believe any?
thing that may be said against the Con?

to state that be was at Barnum's Hotel,
in Baltimore, on Wednesday, the 12th
instant, which would have allowed him
about twenty-four hours in which to
make a trip of some 900 miles. Of

A UNITED STATES MARSHAL MURDERED
IN TENNESSEE.-Some time ego an ac?
count wfis given of the swindling of a
man in Tennessee, named David Beatie,
out of a large amount of back pay and
bounty granted by a special Act of Con?
gress. The swindle was on snoh a large
scale that Deputy United States Marshar
Johu Woods was instructed to investi?
gate the matter and" bring" the guilty
party to justice. The fatal result to
himself is thus given by the Knoxville
Chronicle, ot Friday! last:
"WO learn from a gentleman JUBI from
FentreBs County that something over a
week ago Mr. Woods, in pursuance of
bis instructions,' arrested the sheriff of
the County, a man named Stromier, and
another fellow, for complicity in the
grab game. The arrest was made in a
irnloon at Jimtown, and before' leaving,
the sheriff bec?me displeased at tho
language of the mitchel, and said: *If I
was armed you would not dare to talk
so t? me.' 'You shan't have that ex?
cuse,' said the marshal, TU arm you,'
add 'presented a pistol, holding the
handle toward him. Before the sheriff
could take hold of it, however, several
of the bystanders, friends of the priso?
ner, fired on Marshal Woods, several
balls taking effect and killing him in?
stantly. Ocr informant stated that the
sheriff had left that part of the country,
and had not been seen sinoo, cor was it
known where he had gone."
_THB GREAT BRIDGE IN NEW YORK.
The Eaat Biver bridge, it is stated, is

reached a height of 100 feet. The tower
is not completely Bond, but has two
empty spaces in the centre, thus effeot

limvnishing its strength to any appre?

THE LOBT' BOURBON DIADEM.-An old
man who has resided by himself in Now
Orleans for many years, and whoso
singular dress attracted attention, died
recently; and in his room, ou a tabla,
near the body, was found a rich casket,
set in mother of pearl and gold. Jewels
flashed from the costly lid, and wreathed
in tho dust of diamonds were engraved
the "Lilies of France" in a coronet of
gold. They opened the box and thora
flashed on their eyes the Bourbon dia?
dem. It was stolen the night of tho
16th of August, 1830, when Charles tho
Tenth abdicated tue throne of France
in favor of the Duke of Bordeaux. Un?
derneath it was a manuscript, written in
French. It contained only these words:
"I am Oharette, the Vendean General.
Maria of Savoy was to have been my
wife. She was taken from me and given
to the Comte d'Artois. I could have
forgiven this, but he deserted me when
moat I needed his help and assistance.
I revenged myself and procured his
overthrow, and nm happy since he died
in exile."
A "spirited widow" bas been making

She was put in jail for biting and

one day last week a chango of cells be?

stable and jailor undertook to remove
her. The magistrate retired, with an
arm frightfully bitten, tho constable did
the same, severely bruised by his head
coming in coutaot with a bottle "defily
slung" by Ibo charming widow, and of tho
three tho jailer was the only ono that did
not leavo hastily, a fearful kick from t' o
"lively old girl" rendering him breath?
less on the floor of the cell. What be?
came of him is not stated; tho hist ac?
count from the scene of tho row, was,
that tho widow was practicing ou his

New Guinea, or Papua, tho island
which a cable despatch announces to have
been ceded by England to Holland, is,
next to Australia, the largest in the Pacific
Ocean. It is 1,200 miles in length, and
it has an area of 200,000 square miles.
It is divided from Australia by two small
straits, one of them eighty miles in
width. Little ia koown of the whole
island. The Dutch have a few settle?
ments on the cost, bat tho interior is al?
most ontirely unknown to Europeans.
The soil is rich in vegetable produots
and luxuriant forests abound. The na?
tives, who belong to the negro race, are
few in number. The Dutch population
numbers about 100,000, and the value of
the trade of the island with Holland is
estimated at 8600,000.

A late number of the Sheffield (Eng?
land) Telegraph contains an account of a
oorious discovery ot a ?mouldering fire
that bas been made beneath a large fac?
tory in that city. AB soon as the foot of
the existence of the fire was made
known, men were set to work to excavate
the ground about the boiler, beneath
which the fire was moat intense. The
result of their labor was that a quantity
of burning shale lind ooal was removed.
The fire seemed to extend the whole

Tho Illinois lyncher?, who hanged
Martin Meru for brutally murdering his j
sou, are known to the sheriff of tho
County, who has been instructed by the
Governor to arrest them, the latter
pledging tho whole power of the State to
assist him in the duty. If ever any une
deserved lynching it wus Martin Mera,
hy his own showing, and although re?
spect for the Liw should be maintained,
it ia hardly worth while to arrest 500 or
600 of the men who lynched him iu order
to maintain it. Tho delays and quibbles
of pettifogging lawyers in criminal eases,
whero guilt is undoubted, do more to
lower respect for the law than such crises
of lynchiug are apt to do.
