Brisson, on belng retilucted Chatrman of the French Budget (Ways and Means) Committee March 5, made a specch in which he deserlbed the progress of French finance, He sald that taxes to the amount of $24,000,- 000 had been “ remitted "—that is, repealed— , during the last four years; and there had still accrued surplus revenue to the amount of 850,000,000, of which $20,000,000 had been de- voted tomaking und improving roads and bullding schoothouses, and $9,000,000 to ex- tending postal and telegraph lines,—leaving B handsome balance unappropriated, to be applied ta other useful purposes, Ho pro- posed still further reductions In taxation,.as reiissions of dutics on wine and alcohol, cof- feo and tea, and soine other articlea, He con- erotulated the Chamber on the improved state of public-school cducation, and tha increased funds for its support, France appears to be Rotting slong very woll without Kings, or Emperors, or Dictators, and growing strongor in attachment to Republican principles, ee sich an amondment as would not defent tho excoution of tho law than to combat all fmendiments with n hopeless minority, But, though Mr, Garfield voted with tha Demo- crats upon the amendment which he had practically suggcsted, he entered his protest against the practice of using appropriation Dills as vehictes for political tegisiation by voting with the Republicans against tho bill on {ts final passage. Its tho manner rather’ than tho substance of the amendmont which fs open to censure; for 85 per day ts sufitclent} compensation for Special Deputies, and ther isno reason why tha Deputies for election purposes should not be selected by the Unit- ed States Courts from the dliferent political parties, ns the Supervisors always havebeen, While the Democrats have surrendered to the Election law, thoy have done so with bad Brace aud with an Insincere purpose. They have surrendered beenuse they did not dare to go before tha people again ns the oppo nents of honest clections and the nilvocates of free frauds. Ewing, of Ohio, virtually confessed this much In the speech which he made on the subject. Jie warned the Demo- crats that, if they refused to acquiesce In the Election Inw and provide for its execution, thoy would "find the ery of nullification go up in the next campaign from every hilltop ond valley Inthe North? Randall took the floor sud inade nspectal effort to secure tho passago of the Deficiency Dill, though pro- claiming that Ue Democrats still believed the Election Jaw to be unconstitutional. Cox denounced tho Supreme Court in outrageous terms for sustaining tho constitutionality:of the law, but he dit not dare vote against it. ‘Tho only irreconcttables and “ Inst-<ditchors ” who refused to vote for tha appropriation wero Blackburn, Hooker, Murd, Knott, and Thrnor of Kentucky, They were tho only menon the Demoerntic side who declined to sacrifice their convictions to party adyan- tage. : It may well be doubted whether this sur- render of the Democrats will be'of servico to them. It fs perfectly clear to the country that their only purpose has been to gain a partisan advantage. They ask for public confidence on falsa pretenses. ‘They surron- der to the people only to acquire a stronger hold upon the Government than they now have, and, when they shall have thus gained their point they will botray the popular con- fidence which thelr semblance to submission to tho Inw is designed to secure, This pur- pose was distinctly avowed. “I appeal to my Democratle friends,” satd Ewing, "to take the compromiso now, to modify these bad Jaws and make them non-partisan in character, ao thatawe may be able ere long to wipe them from the statute-hooke.” It was in the same spirit and with the same purpose that Randall, Cox, McMahon, and tho other Democratic leaders urged tho passage of the appropriation, ‘Tho Democratic position is briefly this: If they can once secure the pos- session of the Government by professing at- tachment to honest elections, they will there- after hold it by dishonest elections. ———— THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE ,... JESUITS, ‘The recent defeat of Art. 7 of Jules Fer- ry’s Education bill, in the French Senate, will probably cause much disturbance In France, Tho passage of the article was regarded as a necessity by tho large majority of French Republicans, It was defeated by'a junction of the Royalists and Imperialists with the Centro or Conservative Republicans, who wero ied in their opposition by Jules Simon, Dufaure, and Laboulaye, Tho French Min- istry have expressed the determination not to propose the article agnin in any modified form, and now declare their intention to en- force oxisting Inws for tho expulsion of the Jesults from French territory, These aro the most influentiat of tho non-authorized religious organizations to which tho article in question had reference, and {¢ Is probable that the attempt to expel them will causoa good deal of disorder between thelr sympa- thizers and those Republicans who recogulze the necessity for the passage of the articlo, It is sald that the Cabinet, in ‘order to mect this difficulty, will apply for authority to de- claro iartial Jaw in those localities whore collistons and breaches of the peace are lable to ocenr, Tho necessity for tho passage of some Inw in Franco to restrict and govern the educa- tion of French youth by,the clergy can searcely bedoubted. Measures to control !n- struction imparted by the non-authorized re- ligious societies are especially necessary, As they are not subjected to any of the rules by which education in Trance is legally gov- erned, thelr whole courso of Instruction Js antagonistic to liberal ideas and 1s calcu. lated to create o feeling of hostility to ro publican government. Thelr teaching {s monarchical in its tendency. It has nothing in common with religious or political free dom. Itis absolutely opposed to the princl- ples on which tho French Government Is based. Its natural result, therefore, 13 to make of every Frenchman who pnsses through thelr schools an opponent of all re- publican {nstitutions, But, besides this objectionable character of tho instruction these not-authorized organi- zations Impose upon thelr pupils, the number oftheir schools In Franca hns now become 80 great as to oxcite alarm, This number is being rapidly Jnereased by them with ro- markuble energy. ‘Tho thoroughness of tholr instruction, the admirable manner In which thelr schools are conducted, the adop- tlon in their buildings of every means which tho health and comfort of their scholars re- quire, ake thelr institutions far proferablo in overy respect to those of the Government. Recent discussions of the subjéct In both Chambers show that the schools of the Gov- ernment are much behind the times in oyery necessary feature, and that thoy are Inno sense comparable to those of the unauthor- lzed religious societies. ‘Ihe colleges of the Jesuits especially are said to sur- pass all others In the excellence of their arrangements and in the skill and ca- paelty of thelr tenchers, It ts alleged that tho Jesuit schools havo been exceptionally prominent in teaching doctrines host!lc to Freuch freedom. For this reason tho bill has beon regarded os particularly directed against thom, In a recent statement pub- lished by tho French Government it ts shown that thore are now In Franco ninoty-three un- authorized: religious corporations for men, Thoy are senttored among elghty-one depart- monts, possess 440 monastic houses, and are composed of about 7,499 members, For women there ure 406 communitics, similarly unauthorized, These possess*030 convents, and numbor 13,004 Individuals, of whom 6,655 fre engaged in teaching. About 3,200 are employed in hospltals, asylums, cte., while the remalnder, who lead cloistered Ilyes, spend thelr thme in the conduct of rotlg- ious seryices and In the work of propagan- dism, Three departments of France only are freo from unauthorized nuns, ‘fhe unileensed mate organizations lave estab- Ushments In atl but fous, The Jesults, three thmes expelled from France, now own pros- porous Institutions In fifty-one out of elgity- one departments. 1u 1877 thoy had soventy> four residencies in France, which tneluded ix large seminaries, two sinaller ones, and thirty-one freacolleges, ‘Thoy are now bulld- Ing, or havv just completed, two new colleges, and are rapidly acquirlug a leading influence over the Catholig universities, which have recently been instituted.

Tho person de- olared guilty by tho Court was sent to fall for sixty days; and from the evidence there can bo few who will not concur in the finding of tho Court. It is to be regretted that the princi- pal operator in this Instance has been able to evade the process and has not yet beon arrest- ed, In lls arrest and punishment the public will greatly rojoico, In tho detection of this one {nstance of interference with jurors thoro fs much cause for thankfulness, but after reading the statement of those con- corned tho surprise is that, notwithstanding the notorloty of the corruption of juries, no enso of the kind until now has been estab- Ushed. It may be that the stories concerning the bribdry of jurors haye been cxaggera- tlons, nevertheless the fact thatthe business of packing jurles nas been remunerative enough to support a gang of professional brokers seems to warrant tho belicf that the disgrucoful system 1a sorlously practiced. Tho action of Judge Moran, and especially Ils firmness and decision, may prove a warn- Jugto others engaged in tho business, and particularly ba a warning to those plalntiffs and defendants who furnish the monoy ta pay for the corrnption or packing of juries, —— A DEMOORATIO SURRENDER, Tho present session of Congress, under the organization and rule of the Democrats, who havon majority in both Jouses, fas been managed solely with reference to the ap- proaching Pres{dentlal clectlon. The policy of silence and Inactivity was openly pro- claimed at the beginning of the session, ‘Tho uniform dofents which the Democrats met swith Rust fall, following upon the extra sea- sion of the summer, warned them that thelr reactlonary policy had alarmed tho people of the North, and thats turther indulgence of their nulllfying procltyities would surely cost tho party the Presidential ‘eluetion, Hence the caucus declared that the only safety for the party was to bo sought Ino say-nothing and do-nothing program, The segolution has been pretty strictly obeyed, But thoro was g'legncy from the extras session that had to bo disposed of—viz,; tho defi- eleney in tho appropriations for the pay of the Maraljls, which had been withheld in order to defeat the execution of the National Election law. ‘The Domocrats have ap- proached this matter in fear and trembling, ‘They hove sottled It, at tast, by an unwilling surrender to the Inw which has been sus- tained by the Supreme Court. Itis true that the Democrats would not pass the appropriation for tho deficlency In tho pay of the Marshals without attaching a “rider” to the bill, Thoy demanded this much concession to the ultra position they took at the uxtra session, Dut the ‘rider?’ in question Js not objectionable In Itself, and will probably not attract an Executlye veto, It is objectionable on the general ground that {t ts always an Irregular and dangerous practice to pass political teglla- tlon or amend existing laws by means of an appropriation law, Leglalation thus attatned isalways an Implled menace to the Execu- tlva right of veto, It was on thls account thatthe Republicans voted almost solidly against the amendment, which provides that Special Doputy-Marshals of election shall recelye as compensation no moro than 35a, day, and that they shall be seleoted ‘In equal numbers from the different political parties,” In agreeing to this amendment, however, tho Democrats have acknowledged the validity of the Natlonal Election law, and have eatopped themselves, in all consistency and all decency, from any further attempt to nullify that law or cripple ity enforcement In tho general election of next fall. Theamendment finally adopted was sug- gested by Mfr. Garfield, who appeared fora thue to differ with his Republican confrtres in the House, But Garfield’s point was that the Democratic majority could not be pre- vented from attaching a “rider” to the bilt, aud it would be better for the country, even ata sacrilice of a party advantage, to securo making conyorts hostllo to*the principles of freo government than those which aro au- thorized and thoreby subject to civil control. ‘Thelr Infuonco also In restraining children from attending the pubile schools is much greater, From these facts {t will be seen that the French Cabinet, in desiring tho pas- sage of Art, 7 was fighting no vain shatow. The necessity for some actlon by which to control these organizations and put n stop to the propaganda taught by then against the Government was boyond ques- tlon, —“Thimay be doubted, however, if tho intro- duction of the aubject In the manner pro- posed by M. Ferry was wise at this tne, Neither the Government nor the authorized rellglous societies have schools of 4 cliar- acter to replace thoso which the unauthor- ized communities possess. Before tho tnstl- tutions of the Inttur can bo closed without {n- jury to education, and thelr members bo pro- Ibited from teaching, the Government should largely increase its facilities for in- struction. Its olt colleges shoukl be cu- Iarged and Improved as required by the wants of the country; now ones should bo bullt. During tho Inat ton years the Jesuits alone havo established gwelve new cotloges, while the number of Government {nstltutions Is the sana now as fn 18%. The Gov- ermment.ennnot hops to contend with these organizations in the education of youth until its factlittes aro largely increased, nor can it probably cause the adoption of any law to prevent thom from teaching until it Is evident that 1t possesses both teachers and schools superior to thoso which these organizations supply. Another strong reason why it would have been wiser to postpone for the present the measure pro- posed by Art, 7 Is to be found in tho fact that the non-nuthorized societies have acqulred a strong hold upon the country. They have known how to win the confidence of many funilies. They are supported and sustained by a large party of influential and leading citizens, Any attempt, therefore, at thistime to provent thelr teaching will probably bo fol- lowed by the sning result as that anticipated by tho Ministry in their contemplated re- moval of tha Jesuits, It will certainty pro- duce grent dissatisfaction even If {t docs no worse, France ls still 1n such condition that every discontent on the part of any large number of her citizens must be InJurious to her. Her republican Government {snot yet suflictently. assured to adopt measures whieh, although wise and intonded for the public good, are viewed by many of hor people with suspicion and distrust. Art 7 was one of thiskind. The romoval of the Jesults under an old and obsolete law fs simflar, Both will increase the numbor of snemies to free gov- ernmentin France, ‘The antagonism both have already aroused has, itis true, harmon- ized many Republicans heretofore separated An opinion, but both will have a tendency to shake the confidence of many others in the Governinent, who have, until now, been among its strongest supporters, RUSSIAN FACTIONS. Karl Blind bas contributed n paper to the Internatlonal Review upon the present rev- olutionary movement in Russian, which gives avery graphic ploture of the numerous cle- ments at work in the Empire agitating and plotting for change. They cnn hardly bo called parties, but should rather, Nke the German factions, bo classified into groups, ‘There are the Nihilists, who also are subdi- vided into sects, who have no futuro pur pose In view,—thelr present object being the destruction of all existing institutions, leav- ing timoand chance to develop order out of anarchy, if such a thing be possible; the Socialists, who are bent upon revolution, but in & moro pencenble manner than the Nihil- Ista; the Democrats, who aro deslrons for tho eonvoention of a National Assembly upon the principio of, universal suffrage; the Con- stitutional Monarchists, who would bo giant to obtnin any form of partin- mentary government; tho Pan-Russians of the Katkoff school; and the Pan- Sinvists of tho Aksnkoff, Tchernnief, and Fadleff school, who alm at further ox- tension in the direction of India, Porsin, Turkey, Dungary, tho Scandinavian coun- tries, and even Germany; and behind all these factions, it might be addcd, there Isa discontented, oppressed peasnntry, alrenty beginning to ogitate Jand-roforms, and the Jarge educated clasa, outraged nt tho restric- tions placed upon school and univoralty sys- tems. Karl Blind yery aptly describes Rus- sia when he says: “What is Russis from a political and administrative point of view? Tt is an immense building with s European exterior, decorated with a European front- age, but furnished and administered Insldto on tho Asiatic pattern. Tho vast majority of Russian offictals, disguised in moro or less European costumes, proceed, In tho exercise of thelr functions, like voritablo Tartnrs.” Tho Inconsistency of the Rus sinn system of government {9 in nothing inore clearly shown than its laws. No nation on earth hasso many of thom, Its code Is comprised in fifteen thick yolumes of moro than o thousand pages each, and every year now supplements ara issued, Surely such a nation ought to be well governed, if its laws aro enforced, but the very first article of the firat volume places the Czar aboyo all laws. Tie can disregard or nullify thesa at his plens- ure, When it is considered that this remark- able power is placed‘{n the hnnils of a des- potic, misanthropic, morbid, half-lnsanoruler, Mable to uncontrollable moods of frenzy, the discontent of his people 19 not to bo wondered at, nor will Jt bo surprising if the strugglo goes on until he {s compelled to surrender Ais authority absolutely, taking It away from tho present military dictator and placing it in the hands of his natural and more Hberal successor, in whom the Russian people have confidence, THE BRAZILIAN FAMINE, ‘Tho Hon Yorbert UH. Sinith has sent to tho Now York Tribune on urgent appeal for help for tho famine-stricken districts of Brazil. is reports, which are corroborated. by letters from Col, John Lny, of the State Department at Washington; and Andrew Cone, Esq, tho United States Consul at Per- nambuco, show a condition of suffering and mortality by the side of which the famine in Ireland almost appears Insignificant, ‘The famino-stricken district 13 included between ,the Rivers Parnnhyba ‘and San Francisco, in that part of Brazil known og the Sertno, The region is subject to periodlo- aldroughts, the present.one having begun In 1877, whon the winter rains were almost on- tlrely wanting, so that the crops falled and the cattle died for want of food, Mr, Smith says; “By July of that year a third of tho population were begging for food; by No- yember nine-tenths of the cattle had dicd, and rich and poor alike were anffering from hunger, Tho whole country was dried up, so that not even a green leat or blade of grass could be seen, exceptalonga few fertile hillsides.” At this time the famine «deaths ran up to ten or fifteen aday. In 1878, tho second year, the drought continued, and the famine and panlostricken poople rushed trom the interior country to the coast cities, In the single Province of Ceara 500,000 people Jeft and 150,000 died on the road of starvation.

The Stato should acquire owner- ship gf the machinery and equipment of its prison workshops, Tho prison should be conducted under the sole administration of the Stato and regulnted on the principles summinrized fn a recent report to the Legis- Inturo of Pennsylvanian: “Teaching ench prisoner a full trade, ayolding tho use of inachinery, dispusing of the product of con- vict Inbor in the open market, where the best article commanis the highest price, and con- fining, as far as possible, the IJndustrics taught to those articles that aro used In: pub- Ne, and penal, and charitable Institutions supported by taxation”? That Js, prison Inbor should be maintained, but the contract system abolished. 1 Some of tho facts quoted In) support of tho proposition that the contract system repré- sents a net loss to the Stato, which must be mado good by taxation, aro tnterest- ing In one Tenltentiary’ in New York, for instance, the profits of the contractor amotinted to 66 per cent of the capital invested. In anothor, the con- tractor employed $35,000 capital and the net profits were $22,857. There are not Iees than $0,000 convicts at hard labor in the United States, and thelr effect upon the market must bo appreciable. They work unremittingly- and continuously. Auburn Prison gjono manufactures one-fifth of oll the fron axles in uso in the United States. It is catimated that from Sing Slog Prison comes one-quarter of all tho felt hats, both for men’s and women's wear, mndo In the State of New York, Again, convict labor !s unduly con- centrated upon certain Mnes of production. Out of 1,500 convicts at Sing Sing, 900 wero engaged Ju tho manufacture of stoves; atthe Kings County Penitentiary all the convicts make shoes. Again, conviet Iabor {s too cheap, In 1877 the coutract price per diem for the Inbor of each convict was: Massa- chusotta, 53 centa; Maryland, 25 conts; Rhode Island, 50 cents; New Jersey, 50 cents; Sing Sing, 88 to 10 conta; Albany, 40 to 60 cents, Frea Jabor at the same employments ranged from $1 up, Labor must provall in ponal Institutions, Mr. Smith believes in the Crofton system, which makes {tn prize and reward, and ts used In England and Denmark, We do not exactly sco how any of Mr, Smith's recom- mendations remedy the complaint of tho workingman, except by equallzing the rato of wages within and without the prison- walls, Butthen, if the contract system Is abolished, no wages at all- would be pald, ‘The State would become a mere manufactur: ing corporation, having tho advantage of using labor costing, after deducting cost of inachinery and matorial, no more than at present, and under its absolute despotlo con- trol, ‘Tho State would usa its reformntory Institutions to make money. ‘The only bene fit dorlved from the change would be a pos sible reduction of State taxatlon consequent upon increased revenue. But men are weak, and we doubt {f the surplus revenue would boa very important factor in reducing State oxpensea for many yonrs after tho change took place,. Tha problem {s a dificult one to solve, Mr, Smith’s remedy does not seem much better than the disoase, ‘The contract system may need modification and chango; but the States can hardly afford to enter into competition with private manufacturers.
