The Prospect in France.
The condition of affairs in France
is more encouraging. The Red
Republicaa organization in Peris,
labial. was. dignified- by the name
a government, is in a state of
oklapse. At first, it met With great
success. The disoiderly element of
Paris, 'always ready. for a change,
flew to the support of the new
Ctovernment which promised to
make e community of property, e
leveling of grades in societie and CO
restore France, without delay, to
i.ts''former glory end prosperity.
They „expeeted the. scenes which
ntarke.d thhhistory of their country
at the close of the last century
would be repeated at the present
time, aod that the impossible theory
of a• government•by the mob would
this time be established as a success.
Their leaders were men who though
possessed of abundant audacity, had
none of the commanding genus
and talent which characterized .the
matter -spirits of the. radical move-
ment in former efforts of this kind.
FOL' a few days, it seemed as if the
invelutionists were to carry e eery -
thing before them t but no sooner
was an armed Iceee brought agaiost
them by the Versailks Goyernment
then their w.eakoess became apparent.
They have up to this time been
defeated in every engagement, 'and
the -Versailles Government -are now
masters of the saw tion, and M.
Thieve,: is only restrained from
entering. Paris andiminediately put-
ting an end to the rebellion by a
merciful consiieration for the- lives
•of -peaceable citizens who have- taken
no part in the rebellion. It: is
worthy of notiee that the present
revolutionary movement of the
"Reds" hes met with no sympathy or
response from, thh_Feench Provinces.'
The outbreak Was eit tit y confined
to Paris. The fact is, that while
the lower orders in Paris and a few
a the other large hides are always
ready for a revolutihn, the peasantry
of France are the most Conservative
people in Europe,. They would be
content with any Government, no
-
matter what, that secured them
peace and left them at liberty to
accublUlate property. This Con-
servatism was the secret of Louis
Napoleon's long lease of power, and
explains in a great measure tne
lie manse me rarities his _Plebiscites
invariably received. With Napoleon
they had physical prosperity, And
they cared -little for aught else.. The
-French peasantryare as ignorant as
Conservative, and were unabld to

refer to : what is known as
Nab -Tupper scandal. The papers
are filled with articles on the subject,
—one set giving t'pecia1prozninence
to the worst features of the ase, the
other distorting facts so as o throw
the whole blame off the shoOders of
the President of the Council. I will
endeavor to state fairly the facts of
the.case. The Local Gov rnment
;
of Nova Scotia recently-. in rodueed
a Bill into the Legislative Assembly
of that Province to .disfranchise . all
Dominion officials. Now, whatever
may be said of the -wisdom or jus-
tice of that measure, there ei4n be no.
doubt that the Legislature • had a
constitutional right to pass it, and
there isthis much .to be said on the
merits of the measure: A similar
law, although perhaps not quite so
sweeping in its nature, is in force in
Ontario and Quebec, and t ietElec-
tiou Bill introduced by the Domin-
ion Government a 'couple. of sessions
eon but never passed contai ed sim-
ilar provisions. There can 110 noth-
ing extraordinary _then in t e Nova
Scotia Legislature passing such a
mew!, u re, especially as in tee n t elece'
tions in that Province the D minion
Officials were very active lectiont
eering agents fur the candi ates in
opposition to the Local Goveleament.
The Bill passed the Legislative As-
:.-setubly and was sent to the Council.
Tititt body appears to have been- pret-
tylevenly divided upon the measure.
One member of that body is the Hon.
!James MeNab, an old gentleman,
,
'frail in body and mind. 8o far, all
is plain. sailing. .. After this there is
some conflicting testimony; Dr.
Tupper says that the old gentleman
,wished to vote against the measure,
and that Mr. Annand, the Nova
Scotia Premier, approached his S0.14
(Peter) and offered , him an office
worth $600 if be would induce his
old father to vote for the Bill. The
friends of the Local Government, on
the other band, assert that Itin Mc -
Nab has always been ,a steady sup -
[Seder of the Government, and was
in favor of the Bill. There is no
doubt that he was an Anti -Confeder-
ate. But let us follow the 'whble-
eome yule of giving the criminal the
benefit of the, doubt, and -assume
ihat the Doctor's version of the case
is true. :Whet comes next' On
the day when the vote was to be ta-
ken in the Legislative Council, Dr.
Tapper received the followieg tele -
(tram from Dr. 'Wickwire, -a, proles-
-ional partner and political frientiof•
ris in Halifax :.

Dr. Tuptner replied as follows : _^

,
This Mr. Hill is another ph' litiea.I

'Orrnwa, APRIL 1871.
For the eretlit of the con try and
its House of Representativ s it is to
be hoped that our futur history
will disciose few such transac-
tions as the one exposed on the
day. I
the Mc -
,e
ing to vote fur the Bill. 2. The
friends of Dr. Tuppei• who were in-
teiested in the • defeat of the Bill,
believed that if they 'could guaran-
tee the son an office, they could get
the father to vote against the, Bill,
or at least to stay away, and on the
dear the vote was to be taken, they.
egraphed to Dr. Tupper to know
if he could give the sort an office if,
asithey expressed it, the &titer could
be "put right." 3, Dr. Topper re-
plied in effect that he could guaran-
tee the office. He engaged to carry .
out whatever Mr. Hitt would do, ,
knowing that Mr. , MR was more
than any other man interested ine
the defeat of the Bill, he would pro-
mise the office, whech it appears was
all that was necessary to secure Mr.
McNab's vote. Tfreee are all the
facts so' far gi Dr. nipper -is con-
cerned. Every one will: of course,.
draw his own inference. To my mind
there can be but One inference, and
that is that Dr. Tupper and WI
friends attempted to inffuence the:
action of the Nova Scotia • Legisla-
ture by promising an office to the
son of one of its Members. Parlia-
ment has itself defined offences of
this kind and placed them in the
-category of high crimes. • Here is
the order passed by the House at
the commencement of every session :
Besotted, That the offer of any money
or other advantage to anymember of this
House for the promoting of any matter
depending or to be transacted in Parlia-
ment is a high crime and misdemeanor,
and tends to the subversion of the Con-
atitutinn.
In view of all these facts, every
candid mind will admit that Mr.
Mackeezie was only fulfilling a sa-
cred duty, devolving upon him as
leader of the Opposition, when he
proposed at resclution which, after
reciting the fact., declares :
