In the words of a woman belonging to the Bonne-Novelle section： "My husband has been in prison four months. And what for？ He was one of the first at the Bastille； he has always refused places so that the good sans-culottes might have them， and， if he has made enemies， it was because he was unwilling to see these filled by ignoramuses or new-comers， who， vociferating and apparently thirsting for blood， have created a barrier of partisans around them."[24] Dauban， ibid.， 307. (Report of March 29， 1794.)[25] Ibid.， 150. (Report of Vent？se 14.) - Archives Nationales， F.7， 31167. (Reports of Niv？se 9 and 25.)： "A great many citizens are found in the sections who are called out after the meeting， to get forty sous. I notice that most of them are masons， and even a few coach drivers belonging to the nation， who can do without the nation's indemnity， which merely serves them for drink to make them very noisy." - " The people complain， because the persons to whom the forty sous are given， to attend the section assemblies do nothing all day， being able to work at different trades.... and they relay upon these forty sous."[26] Dauban， ibid.， 312. (Note by Quevremont.) - Moniteur， XVIII.， 568， (Meeting of the commune， Frimaire 11， year II.)： "The Beaurepaire section advertises that wishing to put a stop to the cupidity of the wine-dealers of the arrondissement， it has put seals on all their cellars."[27] Dauban， ibid.， 345.

324. (Denunciations of Pio to the club， against his colleagues.) -Dauban， ibid.， 35. (Note by Quevremont， Jan.， 1794.)： "The honest man who knows how to work cannot get into the ministerial bureaux， especially those of the War and Navy departments， as well as those of the Commune and of the Departments， without having a lump in his throat. - Offices are mostly filled by creatures of the Commune who very often have neither talent nor integrity. Again， the denunciations， always welcomed， however frivolous and baseless they may be， turn everything upside down.

(August， 1793.)"Plan adopted" for the organization of the Police， "excepting executive modifications." In fact， some months later， the number of claqueurs， male and female， is much greater， and finally reaches a thousand. (Beaulieu， "Essais，" V.， l10.) - The same plan comprehends fifteen agents at two thousand four hundred francs， "selected from the frequenters of the clubs，" to revise the daily morning lists； thirty at one thousand francs， for watching popular clubs， and ninety to twelve hundred francs for watching the section assemblies.

The committee demanded by Terrasson is appointed." - It is evident that they hold on energetically to this monopoly. - Cf. Moniteur， XIX.， 637. (Vent？se 13.) Motion adopted in the Jacobin club， obliging the ministers to turn out of office any individual excluded from the club.
