For the iase three seeks the Government of France has been eon- stantly either on the verge of or in a state of crisis. It seems that Pres. dent Thiers cannot command_ a satis- factory -majority in the Assembly, although the country at large is al- . most tmanimously. s in his favor. . . While the majoeity.in the Assembly are averse to Thiers and his policy, they cannot permit or consen to his resignation, as they are well Aware that, in the event of , the veteran Preeidefiei retirement; he Would be followed by a revolution, which a would place some oneatt the head of affairs yet more objectiona.ble than inniaelf., The Right "'as the. op- position 'Seen:is-to be 'called, appear to be afraid that.Thiers, in his ex- ecutive capacity, is assuming powers that encroach on the prerogatiyes of' the representative body, and demand that the constitutional functions of the Executive be limited and more strictly defined. *According to latest reports, a truce between the .war- ring factions had been arranged, and a Comar.ittee of thiqy members of theAsserubly had been appointed to • draw up a bill "regulating the Ex- ecutive powers and prescribing the conditions of ministerial 'responsi- bility." It is to be hoped that the result of the Comnaittee's labors secure tranquility, what France most urgently -needs. Since the1 titter prostration which followed the Ger- man war, the country has recuperat- ed with astonishing rapidity, and it would be sad, indeed, if it were now t3 be precipitated into another' :re- volution, and progress and cont- . 'Dermal prosperity again destroyed. It is quite difficult to understand the diepatches relating to French'afr. fairs, on account of the frequent use made of terms -Unfamiliar to English- • speaking readers, such as a Right," "Left," " Extreme Right," etc., re- ferring to parties in, the French As - sem bly. A. Paris correspondent sends, the colloyirig key; to the des, patches: • "In the Assembly there are now Six distinct groups : first, the Extreme Left or Republican Union, second, the Re- publican LeftorModerate Republicans ; third, the Left .0entre oratill more.Mod- erate Repa;licans ; fourth, the Centre Right who prefer Orleanism ; fifth, the - Right who desire Monarchy, preferring Henry V.; and sixth, the Extreme Right who believe in the extreme. legitirriate nations., the white flag, the Pope and no dynasty tacit a thousand year's These are the parties which it is President Thiers' taak to control and *direct. We do not wonder that he so often has to exercise his threat of resignation in bringing these dis- .cordant elements to accoid.

The r he foreshadowed the ftittire policy of his Goverummit in the 'follownag- wo rd s : "Ile would now - refer to a few of the measures which. it was the intention of the Government to carry. through. With reference to the Murnespal: Loan Fund debts, it was their intention to ,mature and carry some measure for the purpose of patting these debts on a satisfactory footing, for they were certainly on &very unsatisfactory footing now. He knew that there were „large debts owing by some municipalities to the Government, and in sonae cases attempt had been • raade to pay them, vrhile some debts were So large that the municipalities could. not _ pay them, and it was against all propri- ety and against the interests of public raorality that these debts should remain in the position they now occupied. He thought the municipalities should bold as a first principle that whatever debts were owing should be paid, for it had a f, most injurious effect upon- public moral- ity to allow large debts such az these, in- curred as those were, to rema.in. in the • condition they now were. He hoped to have the satisfaction of providing from the surplus revenue a way by which jrus, r tica would be done to the general cominu- • . nity, and at the same time to the muni- l'eipalities thus indebted.

Ise f the sudden and Gr •f this great man. ago he was vigor- . . canvaas 'foie the it of the United ture ; -but in 1841 he founaeA the Tria bane, and from that day his prosperity and influence as a journalist were as- sured. As we bane said, Mr. Greeley was always anxious for official hcir and position, but he was an unsuccelliffil on fice-seeker. In 1848 he was chosen to ffil a vacancy in the 30th Congress; but he only,seryed for rishort time, and did, nothing worthy of record. He visited 1 Europe in 1851, and held- a responsible posttion in the Great Exhibition, For the past twenty years he has been active, but never steady or reliable in political life. At the commencement of the se- cession troubles the course Of the Tri- bune was not satisfactory to the lovers andupholders of the Union.- As it to atone for vacillation at- the ,opening of the- war, Mr. Greeley then used the full power of his pen in. urging immediate hostilities. The disaster at Bull Run was in some sense attributed to a compli- ance with the "On to. Richmond" cry of his articles. When 'made the victim , of public indignation and reproof, Mr. Greeley's mind, brain and heart failed Mm, _ and at that time he,was attacked in a way strikingly similar' to that to which his life yielded on Friday last. "We will not follow Mr. Greeley's editorial course through the war. At times; however, he greatly discouraged the friends of the - Union, and demon- strated those weaknesses of charaeter that always preveuted his being a pop- ular man. The closing act in .his long public life needs no comment. It 'was the mortificatien and defeat of that failure that hastened him to his grave. Ile felt that he had crossed the Rubicon of party honor andfidelity, and:knew that huntili:, ation and reverseswi.ere to be his lot here, after. We can net but think that he. was in one sense a sacrifice. He was used by designing ambitious men, who had their own revenge to sate, 'their own personal advantage to serve. They made a tool of him, turning to their use that same desire for political office which had always been 'Herace Greeley's bane and 'which hie finallyproyed to be his ruin and the one great cause of his untimely death. - "As an author Mr. Greeley wee par- ticularly known by his work entitled "A. History of the Struggles for Slavery Extension or Restriction in the United States, frcm 1787 to 1856," and by a lat.- er work called the " American Conflict." and. published in 1864. But it was as an editor that he was best known; in the field of journalism his loss will be more especially felt. There was no man who, could *write with more force, energy and' convincing power. i For polish and style he cared nothing. What he tried to do, and often -succeeded in tioing, was to say the right word in the right way and upon the right thing. He did not al- ways_ say it at the right time. But those who were most sensible of Mr. Greeley's errors, faults and _foibles, will be the first to concede that the country has lost one of its greatest men and most valuable citizens. His death makes a sad chap- - ter in the nation's political history. It isa mournful ending to what was of it- self antemorable campaign. Two months ago Mie Greeley from the stump was ad - eating the cause of which he was the presentative, with all the talent and Wer that he ever showed in a political ntest. Re is now dead.

DIAR "SIR, --As the farmers of this township are invited to exerCise their right of franchise on this question on the 17th inst, and as very little interest seems to be manifested in the matters° far, few ideas cireulafid through the medium of your paper might be useful in assisting farmers and others' as to their duty on this question. In the first place, let'us ask, if said railwayls a neeessity ? So fat as Morris is concerned, we answer in the negative, and for obvious reasons, some of which areas follows : That the Wellington. Grey and Bruce Railway (whieh will be opened next summer) runs nearly parallel with the Grand Trunk Railway, at a distance of from. 15 to 25 Miles apart, froth Palmerston to Lake Huron, and so far as this township is concerned there is no farmer who will be more than from A to 10 miles from a rail- way station. And these two railways are cornpeting linee, while the London, Huron and Bruce is being promoted and will be run (if ever built) under the aus- pices of the Great Western, the very en- terprise to which you are already paying $30,000 of a bonus, and consequently the said London, Huron and Bruce Railway cannot possibly create any additional _competition. We might ask bathe second place; Are the farmers of Morris not paying as high ta,xes at present as they can hear? Yes, and more too. The taxes in these cora- aratively new townships in the North Riding of Huron are 50 per cent. higher, •than in many of the old and wealthy Counties of Central Ontario, where real estate is worth vastly more than in the Townshi the reports of the Heads of Depert-by this e p of Morris. We do not wish ments submitted. The substance of 1 conduct o omparison to reflect upon the f our Councillors and Reeves, as they have been manfully struggling to pay up our Municipal Loan Fund, and former railway debt, gravel road debt, etc., but what we do say, is that the farmers of Morris have all, and more than they are well able to pay at present, and that the benefits to be obtained by the construction of this additional rail- way, which gives no additional competi- tion, are not such as to justify us in giv- t e Message was given last week in these columns. The tone of the Departmental reports, excepting that of the Secretary of the Navy, is very cheerful,- and show a most promising condition of affairs. The expenses of the Governmentare de- creasine• while there is generally ing away a -single dollar for that purp Assuming the foregoing proposition he correct, atiother follows which i point, viz.: Are the people of the city London pushing this matter in alle different phases for the last two yea for their own. particular interest, or ours? Every intelligent farmer in M ris will answer, for the interests of t nterchants, Manufacturers and oth living in and around the city of Lond as purely and simply as he ever sowed bushel of wheat in the spring, to assist feeding his family in the ceming wintp There 18 a popular opinion abroad th a bonus to a railway, if not too larg can be carried_ in almost any townshi But there is a point to which matte may be pushed which even honest s ple farmers will not stand. We hare no objection to London , any other town or city building railwa or otherwise endeavoring to extencl the conunercial connections. But we sa " Gentlemen, if this is a matter of n cessity to you, put your hand in yo own pocket and pay for it, the same we must do. if we want to buy a hors a cow or a farm." The era •of borni granting is past in this section of th country for the present, especially t -railways that are in- no way calculated give us additional competition to wha • we at present enjoy, (or will very soon. In fact, I have been informed that th Great Western Railway Corapany ar very reluctant to have ariythino to d with this euterprize themselves; as the do notconsiderit necessary, but th London people' are pushing it, for fear o losing their trade in Huron and. Bruce en tirely, and the Great - Western woul rather take it off their hands, if we far mere are fools enough to give them th money to build, it, than that anothe Company should occupy the emintry I treat the farmers of Morrill trill look to their own interests in this matter, and pay no attention to the buncomb speeches and gratuitous advice of busi- ness men. from the villages, or railway stock holders and speculators from the cities, but turn out manfully in defence of their own rights, on the 17th inst., and vote down the by-law in such an emphatic manner, that, lor sonse time at least we May b3 relieved from this sys- tem of blackmailing farmers to extort money from them, and if we see that road we are now paying for, does all that is claimed for it, and we get It paid for, then, should any enterprize turn up, that would give us extended competition, or have a tendency in any way to enhance the value of our surplus produce, give a bonne, but this thing of extorting grants by way of bonus from us every year we cannot stand.
