from the Madrid DUcusxion.
Tbe Republican party have lost the elections
in Madrid. We said wo should yesterday. We
have had to combat against all the phalanx of
oiuciallsra. We have had to oomoat against
the army ot Prim and the more numerous one
of Kivero. We have had to struggle against
the plague cf employes ana pretenders who
live and agitate In Madrid. We have had to
struggle against the contractors who live upon
tbe city and the Government that Is to say. at
tbe expense of the people of Madrid and of the
Bpanibh nation, uur ueieat was certain.
Madrid always win ue unuer monarcnioai
governments a grand column of drones. Wo
have not conquered; nevertheless, we have
polled 15,400 votes In Madrid. This Is not t
triumph over the monarchical candidates
but It Is a triumph over the monarchy.
The monarchists know now that there
are 1.".U0U republicans In Madrid who
protest against tho raisins' of a new throne.

pay over 12,000 laborers. They would have
voted wn n us n trie mvero oi ino uau oeen tno
Rlvero of 18d4. Borne tbonsands of employes
live here. They also would have voted with us
if. in place of calling for the monarchy, tbe
Government had called lor the republic. We
have not triumphed in Madrid. The cause has
been a piece ol bread. The Government have
gained the elections here, as all former govern
ments have gained them. The treasury Is the
grand moving power of the Madrid electoral
machine. Those who have no interest la It
have given us 15.000 votes. Only by looklue in
that direction, and at the laborers employed by
tbe Aynutamiento, can we explain how it In
that lllvero has mmw votes aud film only

nor laborers, only gets lil.uw.

the word) will constitute the majority of the
future Assembly. Tho Republicans, we have to
confess, are in tbe minority. We have been
defeated. Tbe origin of our defeat has been In
placing ourselves In opposition to the provi
sional povernmeut. There is no mystery. In
spite ot all tbe efforts we have brought Into

rentatives. But, considering tho dlstinot

delay the re-establtshment of tbe aceord that
all tne neutral powers wonld gladly see re

should not be an obstacle to tbe suocess ot the

above all that peaoe shall be restored, we de

OBITUARY.
Tate Marquis le Moiisller.
A cable despatch which e announee this
morning Informs us of the death of the Mar
quis de Monstler, a member of tbe French
(Senate, and late Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Lionel, Marquis de Moustler, was born lu 1815,
and is the eldest son of the Marquis Clemeut
Edward de Moustler. He waa educated for tbe
dlploraatlo career, elected member of the
LeglE-latlve Assembly for the Department of
Djubs, May 13, 181'J; was Ambassador at the
Court of Berlin from Marob, 1803, to November,
1H59; Ambassador at Vienna from Deoember,
Wit), to August, 18M1; Ambassador at Constanti
nople from August, 1861, to September, 1800,
and appointed Heoretary of Stale for Foreign
A Hairs on tbe 2d of Heptember , 1806, whloh
place he held np to Deoember, 1808, when he
was made Henaior, and was succeeded by tbe
Marquis de La Valette. While filling tne De
partment of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis was
generally regarded as representing tue war
policy of the Kmpire, and, In particular, as
urging an aggressive interference in the affairs
ot Uermuny, with a view to preventing th?
consummation of Uerman unity. Ills health,
since tbe period of bis appointment to the
Henate, has been steaelly and perceptibly de
clining. Ills retirement from tbe Foreign De
partment was almost universally regarded as a
manin station on tbe part of Napoleon III of bis
abandonment of a war policy towards Prussia,
and the news of It was Joyfully received at the
1'rtiKtilHU Conrt.

Tbe limes ol to-day denounces the treaty, and
says It is incomprehensible and without order.
"Unless there was a secret stipulation some
where to the contrary, the consideration of the
qucition of recognition of the Southern States
si belligerents was plainly provided for in this
treaty. Kothing, indeed, was excluded.
' Tho defects of the treaty have grown out Of
and are owirjg to the semi-public fashion lu
which the negotiations were conducted, and if
the United States Semite hesitates to ratify the
project Ireland will not chufe. It is desirable
that tbe whole treaty be revised nnd recast. As
