In ¢ portist and an Ultrnmontana, is almost a eoup detat, .to force the country back from Republicanism to the Monarchy, in defiance of the will and sentiment of the mafority of the people of France. IHia first movemont was to displace tho Miniatry of the Left nnd re- place it with & Ministry from the Right, or the minority. The next step in his schome hias been the removal of numerons Republic. an Prefects throughout the country, whoso places hiave boen filled with offloials who will prove facile tools in the hands of the Minis- try for carrying the forthcoming Eenatorial clections, Tho step i full of danger in overy direction. If MaoMamwox succeods in dissolving the Iouso, the new Houso will be etill more sirongly Republican, ond, unless he then rotracos his steps, he must- plunge Franco into civil war, If the Senate refusos to consent to the dissolution of the Hsuse, boing withont n Parliament, ho must resign or be impenched.

Tho latest acquisition is tho Republio of Transvaal, tho most north. orn of the Dutch free Btates in Southern Africa, and tho Iast of thom to hold ont syainst English encronchment, Tho Boors, who have been the ruling cluss, aro a thrifty and enterprising people, and it was probably o dosiro on their part to extond their posses. sions sad utilize a greater proportion of the native black Iabor thatled them into a war ogainst the neighboring blacks. This war gnvo England its opportanity, It absorbed the taxes, created a debt, and disarranged tho public finances. The Boers then got into sorious disputes among themnelves, and refused to pay tho taxes to dofray oxpensos. The English officials roport that the Govern- went was crumbling into pioces, and there- upon, without nny more ado, 8ir T, Bugr. sTONE, who sooms to havo beon intrusted with plonary powers by the Homoe Govern- ment, simply declared the country British territory, and & regimont of the Queon's troops, which was located in Natal (oue of tho sosconst provinces), wera marched to Protoris, tho Capital of Transvaal, Their Ppresonce seems to have been sufficiont to de- tor any sentiment ngainat British annexation from on outbreak.

Tho Dutch, who originally settled the territory and sot up & number of froe Btates, have boen powerless in tho effort. As o matter of fact, they scom to nccopt British rule vory complacently in the end, and it is not un. likoly that jta- ndvantages more than com. ponsate for tho sacrific of any pride thoy may have in the matter. ‘As the British ad. vance into, the interior, they will have a greater number of the native blaoks to roslst them, but their coloniza. tion wil be so gradusl and pru. dent that they will probably never hava a war of any magnitado on their haads, Thoy willnot find any resistance on the part of the other European’ Powers, nor of the United Btates, Tholr misslon is one of civilization and tho extension of production, after all, and they have al. ready demonstrated o pocullar aptitude for conciliating the blacks, and getting the most labor out of them with the smallest nmonnt of oppression. Tho policy may be rather hard on the Boors, who did so much for themselves in Bouth Africa, but in the end they and their descendants will be no worse oft; asn British province, they will enjoy Practically as much freedom s if they Lad rotainad the name of Hepublic, and will probably Lave a decidedly better Govern. ment aud pariake of a more rapld progresa in material wealth, At the samo time, the English people, in pursuing this * lmperial policy,” canuot reasonably expect much out~ side sympathy in thoir protests ngaiust any policy of annexation which they may urge in the case of other European Powers. —— The Riolunond (Va.)
