A REPUBLIC DECLARED.
Ont of the midst of the defeats, losses,
and wild excitement, occasioned by the
war with Prussia, the end of imperialism
is decreed by the French people and a
republic declared. This is the legitimate
reactionary consequence of the fall of Na
poleon. From a despotic ami hated gov
ernment overthrown the rebound is nutu
rally to republicanism. This feeling is
not confined to Paris but extends through
out the empire. The declaration of a re
public and the steps taken in accordance
with it appear to command the popular
support. The authorities yield to its pow
erful influence and join the current,
hoping to conciliate ami gain favor
whether they believe in the establishment
of a republic or not. At this moment the
sentiment iu favor of a government of the
]>oople is stroug enough to assert and
maintain itself against all opposition.
Hut ibis is not the first time that such a
sentiment has prevailed iu France. If it
were there would b# more cause to hope
perhaps for the success of liberal ideas.
In 1792 ft was strong enough to send
lAiuis XVI to the block and to stretch out
its hands and invite all nations to inde
pendence, but after a carnival of blood
and thousands of excesses perpetrated in
the name of liberty it terminated iu an
Krnpim. In 1*W the same fueling again
coulroled, aiid this too ended in the estab
lishment of lyonis Napoleon upon the
throne, from which the chance of war
and his own bad management have unex
pectedly hurled him.
The only reason for hoping that a third
attempt to establish a republic will he
more successful than the lirst two, is that
former failures may have taught and pre
pared the French for the trial. If there
are men of brain and nerve and honest
devotion to the cause to lead in the move
ment, who are able and willing to profit
by the failure of other leaders before
them, and if the common people have
learned and are willing to abide by the
lesson that they must govern themselves
in order to have a republic, then there
may be some hope of success, lint if the
wild theories and practices of the first
revolution still find favor and are to con
trol there is no possible hope for a republic
in France. Whether this will be so or
not cannot yet be seen, but the omens are
not of the most favorable character.
There is a lawlessness and mad excite
ment prevailing at Paris which looks like
anything but self-government. There is
courage and talent and doubtless honest
purpose, but the steady strength of char
acter upon which alone a republic can
stand seems to be lacking. We have
looked for it in vain thus far. Its appear
ance would be hailed with pleasure upon
this side of the Atlantic.
But aside from the peculiar character of
the people they have powerful elements to
combat in their midst and around them.
For the time the adherents of Napoleon
are crushed, but presently they will ap
pear to breed discord and mischief among
the republicans, and make them odious
and their labor difficult. They are a con
siderable body, accustomed to the ways
and means of wielding influence over the
popular mind. In addition to this as foes
of the republic is the Orleans party. These
see in the downfall of Napoleon a possible
chance for the restoration of the Orleans
dynasty in the person of Louis Fhillipe
D'Orleans, Count De Paris, but the estab
lishment of a republic is the last thing
they wish to see. Better anarchy for them
or a Napoleon with probable revolution
than a permanent republic. Outside of
these domestic enemies to the indepen
dence of Franco is the powerful influence
of other monarchial govenments in oppo
sition. Indeed it is not improbable that
they will take the task of providing a gov
ernment for France into their own hands. ■
Bismarck said at the commencement of.
the war that the Prussians did not desire j
to interfere with the government of
France, but with the head of that govern
ment a prisoner in his hands and a mob
ruling at Paris, he might not unreasonably
suggest to the monarchs ot Europe that
it is their duty to provide the destitute na
tion with a ruler.
So while the republic is declared its es
tablishment is a matter ot serjous doubt.
The war is doubtless at or near its end,
but the questions growing out of it may
not be settled in as many years as there
have been days of hostillities.
NO CLAIM TO CONFIDENCE.
The Washington Chronicle Jays “the
cardinal difficulty of the democratic lead
ers of the day is that they can show no
one thing within the tost tenor fifteen years
to establish their claim to the confidence of
the country. They made the war, and then
fought the Government in the South and
obstructed it in the North. They opposed
emancipation, suffrage, and reconstruction
generally. They first destroyed the pub
lic credit under Buchanan, and next op
posed all efforts to restore it under Lincoln.
They predicted that the public debt never
could be paid; favored, many of them, its
open repudiation, and studiously refused
to buy any of the national securities; and
yet now, when it is being paid, and when
its inviolability is established, they are in
dignant because it is liquidated too rapidly.
They clamor against taxation as bur
densome, and in Congress voted in a body
against the bill which cut that taxation
down eighty millions at a blow. Thus
have they been consistent in their united
hostility to the Constitutional amendments
which secured liberty and the ballot to the
colored man, which guaranteed the pen
sions to the widows and orphans of the
Union martyrs, and which sanctified the
public faith.
These leaders have especially failed in
Government, National, State, and muni
cipal administration. They ruled the Gen
eral Administration till it culminated into
the agent and victim of rebellion—till it
became an abject bankrupt, and utmost a
consenting party to treason. Repudiating
Mississippi and repudiating Arkansas, arc
the trophies of their State administrations
South before the war—precedents which
no Republican experiment in that section
has been successful enough to imitate;
while New York city, with its organized
frauds on the ballot—so monstrous as at
least to defy all Democratic apology or
denial—its organized frauds on the local
revenue, and its organized contempt of all
private rights—is its chef d'ceuere of mu
nicipal administration.”
The new' government established in
France is called the National Defence
Government. The Ministry is as follows :
Minister of Foreign Affairs—.Jules Favre.
Minister of Justice—Isaac Cremieux.
Minister of Interior—Leon Gambctta.
Minister of Finance—Ernest Picard.
Minister of Marine—Martin Fourichon.
Minister of Commerce—Joseph Maguin.
Superintendent of Dublin Works—1‘ierre
Dovian.
Superintendent of Public Instruction—
Jules Simon.
Minister of War—General Trochu, who
is also President of the Provisional Gov
ernment.
The election in Vermont passed off as
usual. Stewart, the republican candidate, !
| wax elected Governor by a largo majority.
[ All the republican candidates for Con
gress were elected, Willard in the first
district having but a small majority.
POLITICAL.
Humors are again received that Secre
tary Fish will resign shortly before the
meeting of Congress.
The Oregon Legislature will on the 12th
elect a United States Senator to succeed
Mr. Williams.
Senator Harris, of Louisiana, thinks the
Republicans will carry that State this fall,
but by a close vote.
Every day since General Grant's Admin
istration came into power the public debt
has been lessened at the rate of $300,000.
And yet the Democrats talk about its be
ing extravagant.
The Republicans of Virginia claim at
least three Representatives in the next
Congress out of the nine to which the
State is entitled.
The Chicago Republican says: “Long
years of toil and labor will be required of the
people to earn the money to pay the great
aggregate debt which Democratic weak
ness and teachings entailed on them. And
yet, when President Grant has but barely
made a fair commencement, and put the
finances in a way to render certain the
speedy extinguishment of the burden, they
are already asking the tax-payers to trust
them again, and give them a chance to
undo all that has been done. If the people
are as w'ise as we believe, whenever they
cast a ballot they will remember who made
the debt and, until it is finally extinguish
ed, will never venture the experiment of
trusting its authors in a position to inflict
more harm and misery on the country."’
We find the following in the Portland
Press of yesterday:

G. A. R., A. A. General’s Office, >
Portland, Sept. 0, 1870. )
Circular So. 3:
It having* come to the knowledge of the
Department Commander that a document
calculated to injure the Grand Army of the
Republic in the estimation of the public,
as it is drawn in such form as to be easily
mistaken for an official paper, has been
extensively circulated in this department,
said document emanating from a person
residing at Washington, i>. C., and being
an appeal to the Grand Army of Maine to
support Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain for
the office of U. S. Senator, and, therefore,
of such a nature as to create the impres
sion that this Order is political in its tend
ency, he hereby declares such document
to be wholly unauthorized, and hereby
emphatically denounces the same as being
injurious to" the best interests of this or
ganization.
While reserving to each individual mem
ber of the Order the right to act and vote

for political officers shall be made.”
Papers throughout the State, without
regard to party, are requested to aid the
Order in its public disavowal of all con
nection with the document alluded to, by
publishing this circular in full, or giving
the substance thereof.
