—— POLITICS IN FRANCE. pet en, On the Eve of the Struggle for the Presidency. GAMBETTA OPENS THE CAMPAIGN. Bonapartist and Bourbon—Re- publican and Radical. THE REPUBLICANS ADVANCE THEIR LINES. os Wear on the Church and the Reac- tionary Judges. LOUIS BLANC’S RADICAL PROGRAMME. —_—-—_—— Panis, Sept. 23, 1878, In France everything runs to politics. Que would think that the onexampied prosperity of the nation, pow first in Europe in the way of attractiveness and wealth, and the imme: Progress that bas been made nce the German war, would lead to a period of ro. pose—the repose at loust of complacency, But repo: Je not an attribute of this race, and we are now, even while we have an Exposition on our bands and ais, posed to waive everything lor tne sucred rites of bo! pitality, embarked on a political campaign of more than usual intensity. Although the Exposition 1s tne ene thing in France which the world has beon pbserving ior months the political campaign bas wever ceased. France is proud of her Exposition, but is not absorbed in it, Political affairs grow more and more interesting, The Republic is an experiment in various stages of growth, and the ex. periment 18 now in a critical stage. In November the delegates who are to elect the new Senators will be chesen. In January seventy-five new Senaters will be elected, and the result of that election will make the Senate republican by a working majority: In November, 1880, we are to have anovber President, if MacMahon holds out that long, and a year later a new Assembly. So, if in Amoricu, where we have jettied ways aud accustomed forms of procedure und @ constitution that has been runing for nearly a cen- tury, there is an excitement over the election of a President in 1580, bow much more excitement should there be in France over an election so important as to ‘be in many senses a revolution? OUTSIDE ENEMIKS OF THR REPUBLIC. The fact that the Repubiic hus been winning from year to year—that it bas not sustained a serious re- verse since that memoruble September day when it arose from the pavement of the Seine quay:—must Bot be assumed as au assurance that it is secure, without danger. The Republic was never welcome in Europe. Bismarck has net forgiven himself that ho ald not bring Bonaparie back with Bizaine’s army. While Prussia desired to bumilite France she did not care to createa republic.’ Kyen the most gentle pf republies isnot a good neighbor tor a monarchy, and such a monarchy asGermany, ‘the Germans are thinking peopie, and there is a dally beauty in the lite of a republic that must annoy those whose trade is royalty. Therefore, current revelations that there Was a disposition on the purt of Germany to assail France in 1873 and to assail it again in 1875, and that enly tho firmness of Russia and the all-powerful will pi Bismarck prevented it, are not surprising. You will remember the coalitions which were formed against the old Republic, when Europe took up arms to prevent France having her will; when Frenchmen of rank ‘and namo did not diss dain to ‘serve im the army of the invader of France. Cold history now says that the Boalitions were crimes, ‘Truc, they wore the crimes of kings committed against a peepie, and you dbserve how tender public opinion 1s in dealing with royal crimes, Well, tno spirit which inspired these coal: tons has not died. Royalty is as much of a trade now as it was in 1792, ond as Joslous of its privileges. There has been no irmed assault on France, becau: the republicans are careful to give no pretext, no guillotine, no torror, uo throwing the head of a king at the feet of tyrants, People are not so easily led or driven as they were in the good old days, ‘Tbe press has had something (o say, If Germany had assatied France it woult have been for the Fatherland or some- thing of that kind, While no such coalition as that which Dumouriex resisted is porgiole the spirit thas warred upon the old Repuvlic survives, When you consider the elements which compose this antago- nism you will see its strength, Abroad is every mon- arch in Europe and all who believe ia monarchy, At bome you have the three monarehical p:rties—the Bourbon, the Orleans, ihe Bonapartist. You have the Charch and the nobiliuy. These parties represent much that is stroug and groat and revered in France. They are led by gifted men, who control unlimited Fesources, among others the patronage of France, At their head is the President of the Republic. The Church is an institution that enters into the lives of nearly every frmily in Franco, Marrieg dgath, buptism, education, busin every day life in the smaliest commune come under the scrutiny of the QCnerch. ihis in- uence is hostile to the Republic, Everything has been done to show the l¢aders of the Church that the Republic is not the enemy of religion—that in free America the Church has avsoiute freedom ; but us yet the success is vague, If the Republic were an im- mutadle power the Church would accept it, But so long as there is any chance of successful war upon it the Church will twke part. BONAPARTISM AND ITS ALLIES, Ol the parties arming against the Republic nono is more dangerous than the Bonapartist, 11 is the only party which has grown in the past seven years, When the Avsembiy met alter the Empire tobe a Bonapartist was usimost to be an eutiaw. But the Yeaders heid together avd kept up an egitation, and they are now cond ty in France. Bonapart- Ism is composed of three elements. 1, bas the Crown, which satisfies the Divine right idea, It bas the pl .

Gum- betta insists that they shall take their turn atthe him, Let muskets, It appears on its face aca small matter, but M8 gre in France, because it means war upou the regular clergy, war upon the Vatican, war upon w joucordat, Ip some respects it 1s unfortunate that the Republic should make war upon the Cuureb, bot, the fault is with the Church # great deal in seeking every occasion to beiittie and destroy the Kepublic, Another point was the judgos, When the Republic was formed the judges were retained. ‘the idea of the Republic Was Lu have tie law above even revolution, As the judges were all, or nearly ull, creations of the Emvire they Lave presumed upon this immunity to become enemies of the Republic, Gamvetta insists that they suail give the nation a vow ol alegiance or be re- moved, This vpeus up a serioue question, and the Jawyvers are in urms about it and eioquet over the sacreduess of law and tho sanctity of the Bench, But Napoleon removed judges, anc go did the Bour- bons—on~ dynasty changing the judges named by tb oluer, Why, then, should not this Republic exac: from the Bench fhe sume allegiance exacted by Bou parte and Bourbon? 1a the Court of Cassation there ure filly-six Judges, a president, three vice presiuents and forty-five asgistants.

THY OUURKCH FIGHTS GAMBETTA. The Churcu in #ravce bas Vvallunt cuampions, and they come to the irout in answer to Gambettu’s as ult. We sbali, of course, hear irom the eloquent Dupanioup. Freppei, Bishop of Angers, writes a spicy letter, He tuuuts Gambesia with opening war on the Church at the time wuen even Protestant Germany 48 mal peace. He insists thas the concordat of Napoieon 1, ana the Pope settied ail relatious between the Courch and State, Gambetta bad taunted Jesuit. ism with thriving upon nauonal mistorcune, and the bishop auswers that Gambeta’s existence daies from the ruiu ot France, tuat her ruin has been bis Pedestal, (ua ho cuauged defeat into a catastrophe, He insists that the priest who teaches the young, burses the sick wod comlorts the poor, does his duiy to the State as mucn as the soldier, Life in a bare rack Would destroy the possibility of a priestiy ourecr, and be calls upon all Catholics to rise und war against this new persecution, the more iasidious because it Gomes in Lhe name 0: law.

THR WIDOW IN MILAN. Madame the widow soon made progress in Milan, She effected a lodgment in the family of an American resident of Milan and drew around ber the kind wishes and many doliars to perfect ber to ber lauda- bie attempt to become enabled to distinguish herself on the operatic stage. But although professors were found to stimulate ber ambition it was not until the doliars begun to give out that she was given to un- derstand that her voice was uo great shakes and that she would never succeed in the rdle she nad auopted.

H. Napier, agsiged by Lieutenant Pirie; while the Fawn, Com- mauder Wharton, is at present on the oast const of Africa, On the 201m of last month Sir George Nares recommissioned the Alert at Sheerness, and has now Preceeded on exploring and surveying work in Magel- lan Straits and the Sout Pacific. The duration of the present voyage has been fixed at two years, but when the oature of the work is taken into account it 4s not atall probable that the tight little craft will reach home at the ond of double that periou, Due precautions have veen taken with regard to barometrical tifluences, but the same de- scription of extra clothing and muiller bedding as was used op the Arctic expedition wii! not pow be ren- dered necessary, for although the Alert will have to Pass a great deal of time in boistereus regions, und at other times will be employed on the borders of the tropics, yet no such weather as was experienced on her Arctic commission will be possible.

A very impovwnt branch of the work will be the survey of the numer- ous Islands on tue Pacific side of the Straits, as there exists a dangerous spot in Smyth’s Chanuel, called the Boglish Nurrows. Itis between Wellington Island aud the mutuland, and in ecnsequence of the exact nature of the danger being either not sufllciently ua- derstood or not clearly marked, steamers which used to enter the inner ctiaunel rom the Gulf of Penes now eater from tho Gull of Trinidad, two and a baif degrees to the southward, Theso channeis and is- lauds will be all expiored and surveyed, and, with somo outlying islands, will bave their positions prop- erly chartog, INTO TRY PACIFIC.
