The proposed law, if enforced, would prove an economicsl measure to the owners of buildings and to tho ocenpnnts, *Pho Board of Underwriters proposs to ask tho Legisinture to pass this bill. 'I'Le law, if passed at all, must be a general law, ap- plicable to nll cities. Of course no such Iaw could pess tho Tegislature. However willing the Legislaturo may be to give smich a Inw to this city, they will not fores it upon sther cities, whero tha construction of wood- m Luildings is tho rle and not the ex- ception, The policy of prasing such o hill, and making it applicablo to all cities laving over o cerlain number of population, may tako this bill ont of the objection of being specinl legislation. Another, and perhaps the more conistent, plan would bo to ennct. the law generally, applienble to all cities, but not to be enforeed in nny of them until, by reso- lution, it hias been ndopted by the Common Council of such city. This is unquestion. ably the proper mode when a gencral law may be desirable in one city and not in others, Thero neems to boa fear that the Common Council of the city will hot adopt such nlaw. The great battle on this subject, liowever, hns been fought and won on the yuestion of prohibiting wooden bnildings. There is not the least popular objection to any regulation requiring brick buildings to bo built with regard to safety, and wo think the Common Council would eventually adopt the law. THE BITUATION IN FRANCE. A erisis seems {o he imminent in Fronce, It may or may not bave important results. The most that can be antieipated from it ab present is the dissolution of the Assembly, which hns recently opposed the Government by n vota of 250 against 240, and an appeal Yo the people. M. Mac)IAnon is represented 15 confident of popular support; if this is true, an nppeal to the popular vote is not un- Yikely. Butif he fears the result of such an wppenl, e is more likely to reorganize his Cabinet and trust to the frail tenure of strict party lines in the Assembly to securo tho end at which he is niming. Tho diffienlty which has led to this possible erisis wns a diffcrenco between President BLicManox and a majority of the Assembly os lo the consideration of a constitutional pro~ ject submitted by. the Government. This project embraced threce propositions, viz. : (1) The passage of a bill creating a second Chrmber ; (2) the provision that the Septen- nat (MaoManoy's Government) shall be main- toined in slatu quo till 1830 in the event of MacManox's death before its oxpiration ; and (3) that the two new Chambers shall provide the form of Government which shall succeed tho Septennat. Tho Assembly did not refase to fix n day for the consideration of theso propositions, but differed from the Gov- ernment s to the priority between® this and the Army bill. The Government desired that tho propositions should be dis- posed of beforo tho appropriations should be made for the army ; the majority in the As- sembly decided that the Avmy bill should be considered first, This majority was made up of the Left (Radical) and tho Bonapartists nnd Legitimists neting togethor. It isim- possible to tell, therefore, precisely what po- litieal significance this combination had. It might hove been thought favorablo to Radical Tepublicanism, or the recalling of the yonng ‘Narorroy, orareturn ton Bourbon monarchy. All that the vota shows with certainty is that all theso parties desire that the army shall be the rame under any form of Government, The mnjority may divide up ogain when the time comes to vote on the form of Govern- ment itself, A changs of Ministry or an appeal to the people,—ono or the othor of which the Presi- dent is nlmost forced by precedont to adopt,— isnot in itself a very dangerous thing ; but in France it i apt to meau anything,—the Commune, the Empire, Monarchy, revoln. tion, or war. Henco any such' crisis as that of tho present in Franco is important on eccount of its possibilities. As agninst the likelihood of any positive change in the form of the Governmont, MacManox's personal popularity and influence with the people must Lo rockoned ns favorable. Tho Iata evidence in the Pacitic Mail Steam- ship investigntion show that Mr, Panrsons, now member of Congress from Cleveland, and Marshal of the United States Supreme Court at tho time tho subsidy was voted, received §18,600 in all for his services s a Jobbyist, or as Mr. STOCRWELL'S *attorney,” as ho calls it. It is probnblo that Mr, Pamsoss told tho wholo truth, and that he pockated all of his lobby feo except %1,600, which he eays ho gave to his brother-in.daw, Mr, Soav- #Axen, Democratic M. C., however, wasneither 80 frank nor go comprebensible, He firat €0id that he was paid becauso he was ‘‘coun- sel” for Inwnr, BToczToN, Pacific Mail, eto, but, ps Lo evidently concluded that his *tconnsel " would scarcely account for so ex. traordinary & **fee” ns $275,000, ke related that this amonnt was placed to his credit by wmistake (7), and that he roturned all but $10,000 (¥) of the amount. He refused to 0y, however, that the money was paid back to the same person or persons from whom ha received it. Tho whole case is as dark s over, and much more suspicious, There is Tow no longer any doubt of wholesale frand in the securing of the subsldy ; and as, by a statement of the Pacifio Mail accountant, tho Company will be insolvent this year, even if it reccives ita subsidy (owing ®776,169.4G over and above its assets), why tho bost thing to do is to repeal the frandulent subsidy, and let Pacific Mail go to the * demnitlon bow. wowa,” r——— A Democratio correspondent, * who seeks for the truth,” asks us to explain *‘by what suthority Gov. Kriroce sent a squad of voldiors to the Hall of the House of Repre- sentatives, and droveout the five personswho bad been declared members bya majority of the body, oven if thoy were usurpers and had been illegally seated.” For his informatioy and that of others like him, we wonld ex- plain that it was done upon the written ro- queat and demand of jifty-two members of $he Logislature who lad protested in vain sgainst the illegal intrusion of five persons who held no certificates of eleotion, This eall for the military, be it remombered, was made subsequent to the call for the #ame military by -the Democratio members, who demanded their aid to remove the squad of Now Orleany polico from tho lobby of the hall, and they cheared tho soldiers es they bayoneted the police out of the building.

Beecher the tostimony, conversations, and coufessions of Mrs, Tilton will be excluded by the Court from the consideration of tho jurr. It may be good law g0 to rale, but what moral weight would the acquitat! of the defsndant have, acquitted by a jurs who knew nothing of all the statemonts and admisgions of her who is virtuslly & codefendant in tho case ? 1f Mr. Beccher and hia friends expect to claim & verdict in his favor as establishing bis inuo. conco bofore the people and the world, thoy should allow the whole case to go befors tha jurs. Tho letters, the confessions, the lifo of Elizabath Tilton through thoso direful yoars, mstzhing and dovetailing in a scoro of waya with Beecher's atatements and confessions, are as im- portant for a clear understauding of the oaze as avy testimony io it.
