[46] Archives des Affaires étrangères， vol. 1411. Orders of the day by Henriot， September 16， Vendémiaire 29， year II.， and Brumaire 19， year II. Many of these orders of the day are published in Dauban， ("Paris en 1794")， p. 33. "Let our enemies pile up their property， build houses and palaces， let them have them， what do we care， we republicans， we do not want them！ All we need to shelter us is a cabin， and as for wealth， simply the habits， the virtues and the love of our country. Headquarters， etc." - P. 43： "Yesterday evening a fire broke out in the Grand Augustins. . . . Everybody worked at it and it was put out in a very short time. Under the ancient regime the fire would have lasted for days. Under the system of freemen the fire lasted only an hour. What a difference！ . . Headquarters， etc[47] Wallon， "Histoire du Tribunal Révolutionnaire de Paris，" V.252， 420. (Names and qualifications of the members of the Commune of Paris， guillotined Thermidor 10 and 11.) The professions and qualifications of some of its members are given in Lymery's Biographical Dictionary， in Morellet's Memoirs and in Arnault's Souvenirs. ？？Moniteur？？ XVI.， 719. (Verdicts of the Revolutionary Tribunal， Fructidor 15， year II.) Forty-three members of the civil or revolutionary committees， sectional commissioners， officers of the National Guard and of the cannoneers， signed the list of the council-general of the commune as present on the 9th of Thermidor and are put on trial as Robespierre's adherents. But they promptly withdrew their signatures， all being acquitted except one. They are leaders in the Jacobin quarter and are of the same sort arid condition as their brethren of the H？tel-de-ville. One only， an ex-collector of rentes， may have had an education； the rest are carpenters， floor-tilers， shoemakers， tailors， wine-dealers， eating-house keepers， cartmen， bakers， hair-dressers， and joiners. Among them we find one ex-stone-cutter， one ex-office runner， one ex-domestic and two sons of Samson the executioner.

[49] On the ascendancy of the talkers of this class see Dauban ("Paris en 1794，" pp. 118-143). Details on an all-powerful clothes-dealer in the Lombards Section. If we may believe the female citizens of the Assembly "he said everywhere that whoever was disagreeable to him should be turned out of the popular club." (Vent？se 13， year II.)[50] Arnault， "Souvenirs d'un Sexagénaire，" III.， 111. Details on another member of the commune， Bergot， ex-employee at the Halle-aux-Cuirs and police administrator， may be found in "Mémoires des Prisons，" I.， 232， 239， 246， 289， 290. Nobody treated the prisoners more brutally， who protested against the foul food served out to them， than he. "It is too good for bastards who are going to be guillotined.". . . . "He got drunk with the turnkeys and with the commissioners themselves. One day he staggered in walking， and spoke only in hiccoughs： he would go in that condition. The house-guard refused to recognize him； he was arrested" and the concierge had to repeat her declarations to make the officer of the post "give up the hog."[51] "Mémoires sur les Prisons，" I.， 211. (" Tableau Historique de St. Lazare.") The narrator is put into prison in the rue de Sèvres in October， 1793. - II.， 186. ("An historical account of the jail in the rue de Sèvres.")

[53] "Un Séjour en France de 1792 à 1795，" 281. "We had an appointment in the afternoon with a person employed by the committee on National Domains； he was to help my friend with her claims. This man was originally a valet to the Marquise's brother； on the outbreak of the Revolution he set up a shop， failed and became a rabid Jacobin， and， at last， member of a revolutionary committee. As such， he found a way . . . . to intimidate his creditors and obtain two discharges of his indebtedness without taking the least trouble to pay his debts." . . . . "I know an old lady who was kept in prison three months for having demanded from one of these patriots three hundred livres which he owed her." (June 3， 1795.) "I have generally noticed that the republicans are either of the kind I have just indicated， coffee-house waiters， jockeys， gamblers， bankrupts， and low scribblers， or manual laborers more earnest in their principles， more ignorant and more brutal， all spending what they have earned in vulgar indulgence."[54] Schmidt， "Tableaux Historiques de la Revolution Fran？aise，" II.， 248， 249. (Agent's reports， Frimaire 8， year 111.) "The prosecution of Carrier is approved by the public， likewise the condemnation of the former revolutionary committee called the "BonnetRouge." Ten of its members are condemned to twenty years in irons. The public is overjoyed." - Ibid.， (Frimaire 9)， "The people rushed in crowds to the square of the old commune building to see the members of the former revolutionary committee of the Bonnet-Rouge sections， who remained seated on the bench until six o'clock， in the light of flambeaux.
They had to put up with many reproaches and much humiliation." - "Un Sejour en France，" 286， (June 6， 1795). "I have just been interrupted by a loud noise and cries under my window； I heard the names Scipio and Solon distinctly pronounced in a jeering and insulting tone of voice. I sent Angelique to see what was the matter and she tells me that it is a crowd of children following a shoemaker of the neighborhood who was member of a revolutionary committee. . . and had called himself Scipio Solon. As he had been caught in several efforts at stealing he could no longer leave his shop without being reviled for his robberies and hooted at under his Greek and Roman names."[55] Barère， "Mémoires，" II.， 324.
