THE COUNTRY OF CONSTITUTIONS
jjil- -TTHAT NEXT:'' -
France is a country of surprises,
and yet bofcody ought to be surprised
at any thing done in France. We
believe" there have been three dis;
. 1 tinct 'constitutions framed; since the
September devolution of 1870. Each
was a surprise. The Bordeaux Pact,
the Rivet Constitution and the pres
ent anomalous concern, under which
monarchists administera republic
which they utterly repudiate--these
m ume more man tnree years.
s McMahoniis President for seven
yearsV just as i Thiers was President"
: -for tha.term of existence of the pres
ent Assembly.' - Thiers was forced to
resign whenthe Conservative opposi
tion got too strong for his adminis
tration. McMahon may be obliged
of the lief t,s At present, in the light
of the recent elections and the evi
dent jemper of, the people,. this event
seems Hkely 'ta take place at any time.
The bullying threats of the monarch
ists to restrict the suffrage" so that
the Government may maintain itself
amount to very little. Such an act,
if consummated, would bat hasten the
doom of the violent faction guilty of
the outrage. : .
The National Assembly represents
a minority of the French people. If
an election fer a new -Assembly were
to take place to-day it ' would result

A Battle wlthfthe AHMOurl Bandits
Onepf ike Partner-'Captured.
From the Kansas City Times. Dec. 13th. 1
I i Various- rumors have been afloat
for the.past two days concerning the
toorsmt and capture ofl-the bandits
who robbed a village store near the
Kausas State line, id Cass county, last
Saturday night.
The Sedalia Bazoo says that on
Monday, or forty boursaftet the capr
ture and plundering of Bryant's store,
the robbers; increased by several ad-
, c u "
throusrh Appleton Citv, St. Clair
county, loaded with' 'plunder. They
were-closely pursued by a detaehment
of mounted citizens of Cass county,
who were reinforced by forty or fifty
of the citizens of Appleton City.
The robbers were overtaken near
Monegaw Springs, near . a roadside
hotel, kept by a Uol. bimms, formerly
a well-knOwn .and prominent citi
zen or Miami county. Ixansas.
The robbers were ordered to surren
der; their reply was a volley of bul
lets fired from the brush, into the
fastnesses of which they retired. The
citizens found themselves at a disad
vantage, the roughness of the ground
and the dense brush offering superior
facilities to the pursued. In the fight
the robbers succeeded in capturing
Mr. Alva Wyckoff, a lumber dealer
of Appleton City, whom they held
and carried with them m their re
treat. They sent word to the pursu
ing party that unless the pursuit was
abandoned they Would shoot their
prisoner. The desperate character of
the bandits, wha are supposed to be
none other than the Younger brothers
and others of the Iowa train robbers,
determined, the citizens to temporari
ly withdraw from the fight. Later
rumors have been brought into Ap
pleton City, none very reliable,
to the effect that the fighting had re
commenced, with fatal results to some
of the pursuers.
It. is expected that the Governor
will offer a large reward for the cap
ture or extermination of this desper
ate band of thieves, who have sojong
been a curse and a disgrace to west
ern Missouri.

entable fate3 have overwhelmed four
of the principal characters who fig
ured prominently in that disastrous
episode. Maximilian was most cruel
lv executed; his unfortunate widow,
Carlotta," went mad; Napoleon III
lost his own li,mpire and died in exile;
and now, Marshal Bazaine, degraded
of his illustrious rank, and condemned
to imprisonment, only escapes execu

Jrresident of the Republic.
The Anti-Slavery movement In Cuba.
Havaxa, Dec 17
The slavery question is now being
seriously discussed among slave
owners. According to telegrams and
letters from Spain the government is
determined to bring the question be
fore the Cortes for action, but desires
slave-owners to propose some plan
making abolition of slavery a certain
ty without injuring seriously the aer
ricultural prosperity of the island.
Many prominent slave-owners are in
favor of treating the slaves like con
tracted Chinamen. It is doubtful
whether the Cortes would sanction
such or a similar plan.;. The number
of members of the Havana Abolition
Society is increasing

The Preoa on Stephens.
The Georgia newspapers are very
outspoken in their condemnation of
Mr. Alexander 11. Stephen's defence
of the bark-pay grab. The Macon
ltleffrnph says "he has simply gone
daft." - The Atlanta Constitution
calls his speech ''a most uuauspieious
beginning. Ihe Savannah Aewts
says his reasoning is "unworthy o
his reputation." The Augusta Con
stitvtionalist says he is not in tfyrupa
thy with his constituents. The Rome
Commercial can find no excuse for
the back -pay steal. And the Savannah'
Advertiser, standing almost alone, lin
qualified ly endorses the position which
Mr. Stephens has taken. In the North
and West opinions differ. The New
