4 THE COMMUN How M. Jules Simon Treats the Reds of Paris. AN INCAPABLE CROWD. Cruelty of Rossel and Blunders of Cluseret. MISGUIDED FEMALE PATRIOTS. Megy and His Accomplices Shooting Archbishop Darboy. pei ei ah a We yesterday gave an extended notice of a portion bf theadmirable work of M. Jules Simon ow the “‘Gov- ernment of M. Thiers,” but it ts not a book that can weil be treated ia brief, The momentous occurrences Attending tho tail of a power!ul empire, and the re- establishmont of a republic upon is rumms under the Mout difficult, even painful circumstances, are re- corded by M, Simon with a fulness, a brillianey and Vividity thas will place him among the foremost rauks of historians. A rich aad prosperous nation, humbled to the dust, after passing through the ter- Tible ordeal of couquest, the miseries of eivil War and devastation, suddenly rises aguin to a conspicuous place in the counerls of Europe ae a supporter of peace, It was through these won- deriul chauges that M. Simon ied us in the summary we printed yesterday, Below we reler to the sad days of the Commune, to tnat strange, eccentric sys- tem which, jor the most part, curried out by ferocious And inefficient men, lod to the pillage, destruction d bivodsued which will forever be a stain upon the annals of Paris, M. Simon telia his story im plain and unambiguous language, He neither simulates the grandeur of Lamarune, the crispacss of Hugo, nor the Yoluminousness of Thiers. Tuere are a dozen epectal Liviories of we Commune, written, many of them, by men who were present im Paris during the memoravie period irom March 18 to May 25, 1871, but the mine is by no meuns exbausted, and tt may be affirmed that the lags i the vest. M. Jules Simon was leading member of the Versailles Cabinet aur- ‘ng the fiery catastropne which laid in dust the proudest edifices of France, aud his personal relations with socialistic theorists for a quarter of a century before (he Commune abundantly fitted bim to be the bistorian of that lurid experiment, His convictions are firm ip behail of jaw and order, but ne is Do tb- discriminate foe of the men whose downtull ne belped to compass, He can gov the good qualities of a tow of the men who have been usually denounced as incar- nate demons, and can drop a tear upon the graves of many flory young journalists aua doctrinaires of the Commune who bud a year betore listened to his own eloquent lectures at the University. Thus com- Mmeucing With toe sogialsts and iniernationalists M. Simon proceeds :— INTERNATIONALS 48 POLITICAL ALLIES, All the workingmen were uot sociulisis and all the Sociulistic Working wen Were Lot members ol the AnLer- national This lutier association owed mach of its Importance to the dread of it cherished by the conser- vative party. lt was growiug betimes, A uuion was actually eflected between it and the communistic or simply socialistic writers, who labored to propagate by pamphlets, lectures or newspaper aruicies the jueas ot Proudhon or 01 Blungui.
