Never before has Canada experienced such a low and unsatisfactory state of trade as at present, an'l never more we I hope will this experience be renewed. l Everybody is complaining, and not without cause.

No better illustration o. the scarcity of money rnn be furnished than the dilliculty the Collectors have getting the taxes. Mr. Merry, the Col lector for Eldon, informs us that at the village of Hartley, where laat year in- took $1,450 taxes in one day, he thix year took only $240. This is a aura. - ling diflereuCe, but it is a true indica- tion of the state of the people, and one that cannot be ignored. When the taxes are not paid it may be taken for granted that the people have no money. Already we begin to see the indications of forced retrenchment. The things generally considered as unnecessary, and many luxuries, have been abandon ed.

At the last meeting of We Eldon Township Cmmcil, Mr. Anmlrong sig- nified his intention of bringing in 11 motion at the m'x; sees-«ion 0f the Conn. cil fur the abolition of the ward system in Eldon.

The crisis in France is over. Mar- shal MacMahon has resigned. M. Grevy has been elected President of the Republic, and the government of the country will go on as usual. France nmy congratulate herseif on the peace-« ful and constitutional fashion in which thus gre'tt change has been brought. about. Time was: when the resignation of Marshal MacMuhon would have lwml fraught. with considerable danger â€"â€"thnt is to say, there might have been terrible disturbances in Paris and all over FHUICU. In the early days, in- aloml ul the Marshal’s Presidency, his friend’s were nccustomt-d to talk of his u-sigoing as if it would involve diSas~ trons conevquche, and it was more than onee threatened, as though France Would never survive it. Now, howx ew-I', Marshal MacMahou has really gone. the Elysee knoWs him no more, .m 1 wt Fiance is perfectly tranquil. â€"â€" lulnl, then, she now be congratulated m t' u- m -re fact that this chant'e has Inho- no place without any disturbance , “'11 the Republic will gain in popular wtnnation, now that it is seen to wotk ln' Constitutional methods. The history of the Marshal’s resigna- tion is simple enough. As President of the Republic he was simply the mouthpiece of the Cabinet, and after the recent electoral victories it Was .in evitable that strong measures would be taken to put Republicans into the high commands of the army, and not leave them, as has been the case, in the hands of men notoriously opposed to the ex~ isting regime. It is easy to understand how supremely distasteful it must haw- been to the Marshal to be asked to sign decrees supercetling old comtades. more ‘ especially as his own personal sympa- thies are by no means with the Repub lic, howen-r fairly he may lliquIllSr charged his duties as President. The reasons for his resignation are put plain- ly and succinctly in the letter which lu- addressed to the Chambers. In that communication the Marshal says :â€"-â€" “ The Cabinet, in the belief 0| respmnl- ing to the Opinion 0! the majority in the two Chambers. now proposes to me as regards the great commands general measures which I deem contrary to the interests of the armr. and consequently to those of the country. I cannot sub scribe to them. In view of this mlusal the Cabinet resigns. Any other Cab»- inet taken from the majority of the Chambers would impose the snme CUIi" ditions on me.” 'l'herefore, he goes on. he resigns the Presidency of the Re- public. There is a soldierlr directness and honesty about these sentences which will recoiVe due recognition from Franc-J; and. indeed, it may fairly be sanl that nothing the Marshal has done durinu his tenure of oflice is m much to he credit as his resignatiozi. He has al- ways [men a drag on the lidlilliviiuan .wheel, and ho- has not lacked advisers who desired him to oppose this will of the Chambers even more aclivrlv than was the case, so that hisywsigmuion is a clear gain to the Republic in every way. It is also fortunate for the .‘viar slml that he should have resigned at this juncture. for he would certainly haw- had to‘tlo so sooner or later, and he now lelil'rr; amid the good wishes of those who can respect. the feeling-t ol'_ the soldier, however much they mar deplore the views of the politiri:m.-« .\loreorc-r, ail Frenchmen who (lo-sire :n-aw- :tvnl tin-inquilitv for their country must rejoica that the chief commands in the army will now he bestowed upon men concerning whose loyalty to tho- Ropnhlio them can be no question. You may not understand in America, why any fears should exist as to the attitude of the army in a coastitutitmal ouisis; but Frenchmen have had too bitter an oxpcrieuCe in the past of what a man can (it) with the army on his side against the people, to desire any repetition of it in the future. An In the now President, M. Gravy, h". is mhnittml on all lmmla to ban sin- gnl-n-ly ulnlc and upright man.
