Tyranny of French Magistrates.
The Frenchman who believes him-
self to be independent, a reformer,
and given to incredulity, still
serves a faith and a superstition
a superstition in the forms of justice
as they are practiced in France; an
absolute faith in every man who,
temporarily or habitually, dis-
charges the duties of a magistrate.
The bourgeoisie and the people have
brought about revolutions, erected
barricades, poured out their blood
in overturning four thrones within
n century, but, nevertheless, submit
without protest to the tyranny of
some hundreds of men who are ex-
magistrates. These
are answerable to themselves
alone, and the law delivers into
