To the French, the defence of Parie serves a donble purpose. It not only retards the pperatious of their enemy, but it affords Yhem an incomparable school for the training of the new army which they so greatly need. According to the proclamation of Mr. Gast. err, the French Secretary of the Interior, Issued at Tours yesterday, there are now within the walls of Paris four hundred thou and National Guards, one hundred thousand Mobiles, and sixty thousand regulars—in all, five hundred and sixty thousand men now undor arms. ‘The character of Mr. GAMBETTA is such that his statement may be received without that doubt which always attached to assertions male by the members ot tho Imperial Gov proment, Tt is doubtless true that there are fow over half a million of armed men behind lls 0} the Paris, As yet, with the excep tion of the eixty thousand regulars, these are oll undise’plined soldiers ; but every day of the siege gives them an amount of warlike treining which could not Te gained in a month passed in barracks and in drill in time of peace. ‘There is no school of war like war itei’; and the army of Paris hasa great ad vantage in being elucated in this echool without that danger of panic and of disaster which would belong to such an undisei plned body if arrayed for battle without the cover of fortifications. Under such circumstances this army should be able to begin a vigorous offensive cam- yaurn against the Germans by the middle of December. That will give them two months and a halt ofconstant drilling, with such occa sional fighting as Gen, Trociu judges will be most advautageous, So far the General bas managed them with remarkable skill Every day has Lad its contest, and now one and now another corps or division hae been sent out to learn the smell of powder and the hiss of bullets. ‘The results amply justity the wisdom of Trocnv in assembling 80 vast a body of men in Paris before the siege. There is no other spot in France in which he could fit them 8o spe dily or efficiently for the work of soldiers, Thus the Prussians themselves are made useful as the drill mas- ters of tle new army which had to he cre. ated Lefore France could again be in a tondition to defend Lerself. Mr. GaAmnerra also declares that there is no danger of starvation, Ii this be so, thea there is also no danger of sedition, which he Bays is out of the question, In a city of two millicns of souls, more than one quarter of whom are constantly arms for the common defence, sedition can only arise in or serious military Both of these being out of th there is nothing to interfere with steady new under ponseuence of famine reverses, advance of the army in mn skill; nor does there seem t be hing within the city to aid the cffuris of the bes'egers without. The Prussians may indved make breaches in the walls with their improved artillery; but wth such an army of defenders to an assuult,a breach is of comparatively use to the assailants, Mr, Ganerra pro nounces the city impregnable, ‘This seems fike un oxag ion, but it is relatively truc W Pare connot be taken in ninety days, it is Impregnable indeed; for by that time th southern aud central ¢ will aleo have and formidable that no for bland | efore them partiuents of I wner raised armies so numcrous invader can The problem of the delivera:.ce of I eonsiets then in the problem of the sicgs of Paris Every day that the siege is protracted diminishes the resources of the Geraans both in men and material, while it forms and trains the forces upon which the redemp tion It also tends to consolicate the Republican Government, by to ace f France must depend showing that it is abl the Empire could not even undertake.

Hitherto all the nominees of the party have becn selected 1 from the West, Fremont hailed frou Cali- fornia. Linconn, and Jomunson, who entered the White House when Lrxconn fell, and now Gant, all sprang from the basin of the Father of Waters. From the accession of Porn, in 1845, that section of the Union will, at the close of Grant's Administration, have furnished the occupants of the Presi dential chair during a period of eighteen years; while New York, during this quarter century, has not had a single Republican candidate, Mr. Gnreetey may therefore urge with great force that the next Republi. can nominee should be an Eastern man, and be selected from the foremost State in the Union, And we need not say that when the eye of the nation is turned in this direction, it will certainly fall upon the unique form and benignant countenance of the famous jour. nalist, author, farmer, philosopher, and poli- tician of Spruce st reet. And what would be Mr. @reBLEY's chances of an election should he receive the nomina- tion? Of course, all the Republicans would vote for him, for his claim to be regarded as the founder of that party rests on solid foun. dations, and the country knows that he was the advocate of ite principles long ere the party was organized. All the negroes might be expected to sup- port him, for, in spite of the hostility of the fossils of the Whig party and of the fogies of the Republican party, he advocated not merely the emancipation of the colored race from slavery, but their admission to the bal- lot box, nists in the South and all the Copperheads of the North, ought to vote for him; for when the clouds of war loomed on the horizon below the Potomac in December, 1860, he announced through the Trivune that he was in favor of letting the insurgent States go in peace. Inthe third year of the conflict he urged Mr, Linconn to close the contest by offering the South four hundred millions of dollars to lay down their arms. After the war had ended, he went to Richmond, at an inclement season, to bail Jerrerson Davis on an indictment for treason, and returned home to brave a tempest of reproaches from the Union League Club of this city, whom he denounced as “narrow-minded block- leads.” And from that day till now he has made the land ring with the slogan of “ Universal Suffrage and Universal Amnes ty. If, then, Mr. GnreeLey can get the nomination, we may look to see JEFFERSON Davis and Senator Revers, Toons and Frep. Dovaiass, R. M. Honter and the Rev, Dr, GARNET all on the stump below the Potomac and the Ohio, and thus securing Lim the vote of every Southern State, Mr. GReeELry might reasonably hope to receive the votes of all the Germans, for he has warmly espoused their cause during the present war; while all] Frenchmen ought to support Lim because he is in favor of the new French Republic. Nor need he despair of the Irish vo His grandfather and his father were natives of Londonderry, New Hampshire, a town settled by emigrants from the North of Ireland, Mr. GreeLey himself was born there or thereabouts, and thie makes him as much of a Celt as Mr. KAvPMANN is a Teuton; and according to the theory on which KavrMANN claims the votes of the Germans for Licutenant-Gover- nor, GREELEY ought to get those of the Irish for President.

The territorial extent of about half the old die tricts hae been changed ; while in those left unchang»d, for some unexplained reason, the numbers have been singularly transposed. This is described in the elaborate article which we print elsewhore. But the important fact in this gerryman dering is the utter disregard of the law under which he assumes to act that O'HALL betrays. Thus, he is enjoined to fix the districts so that they shall contain, “as near as may be, not more than four hundred electors.” In executing this law he finds the average voting popaletion of the existing stricta to be three hundred and ten, deter. mined by the rule laid down in the law. With singular arithmetical obtuseness he proceeds to bring those districts up to the average population of four lundred pre- seribed by the law by adding fifty to the number of the subdivisions; and thus instead of getting nearer to four hun- dred ho gets further away, and leaves the average voting population but two hundred and seventy. And even in arriving at this unanticipated result, he violates every rule of propriety, and creates districts as dispro portionate in size and population as it is reasonably possible to make them. Some districts contain half a block, while others include an area half a milo square. Some districts aro left with a voting popula tion of less than fifty, while others contain nearly a thousand. Districts casting less than four hundred votes at the last clection are subdivided, while others that cast con- siderably more than the number prescribed Ly law are joined to neighboring districts equally above the designated limit. O'MALL’s gerrymandering clearly shows that ‘Tammany Hall, whose willing tool he is, means to undertake a general system of fraudulent voting at the approaching clee- tion, And to further this purpose, certain districts where it is not convenient for them to manipulate armies of repeaters arc made unduly large, so that the adverse vote may be kept out ; while others are made ridicu lously small, so that a considerable fictitious or fraudulent vote may not be noticed. The whole is shrewdly arranged, by changing the designation of those districts whoee territory remains a8 before, and com: Vining or dividing wherever it could be done, 80 a8 to render comparisons with the census as diffcult as possible, and thus con ceal the frauds intended. funny cireumstance is developed in the inve gation of this job. By tracing out on a map the boundaries of the districts a read justed by O'HALa, it will be observed that the block bounded by Avenue A, First ave nue, Second and Third streets is left out of all districts, and that its inhabitants are practically distranchised, Last fall this Llock was the 'I'wenty-fourth District of the Seventeenth Ward, and cast 181 votes, Last spring it was attached to the Twenty-second Distret, and now it is thrown out. We presam that Mayor O'Han. will open his eyes on learning of this omis sion when he reads Tue SUN this morning, and will forthwith issue a supplemental proclamation giving the benighted residents of that block some political relations with the rest of the ci however, —— : The Troy Timca eays that Tin § 'N is very able, ‘and is a great success pecuniarily.”” We don't dispute it, The Zima might also have added that Tur Sun is the uncompromisi friend of eve movement looking to the elevation of humanity, and of every good and tr compromising foe of every sneak thief, every brive-taker, every robber, and every fraud, good and generous idea and and the un e man ; ——_—_——— We are glad to notice that the Derry family isin the ascendant.
