Itrpnrtorlal Peril.
It flftcn happens that the reporter at home In ex
IHHW.d to dangerx whli:h are only lesfl Imminent thao
' W08C which beset the corrcHpomUmt abroad. If he
tell the troth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
tnith, he Ih sure to create for himself a host of
enemies, whose vengeance can be appeased by
othlng but his blood. Every now and then we read
an account of the tragic experience of some "Inter
viewer," who probably went about his btiHlnens wltu
a heavy heart, well knowing ho must cither make
the Interview a success or Incur the malediction of
Is chief. The last anti-reportorlal demonstra
tion is that which has taken place against Dr.
Shine, Deputy to Coroner Flynn. In a recent suicide
caso at tho New York Hotel, Dr. Shine was Justly
aeensed by the Herald of exceeding his legal powers
and duties by holding a sort of Inquest without
authority from his superior. The reporter who made
this statement spoke of Dr. Shine as "the Coroner s
wan," which so Irritated the doctor that be at onco
proceeded to the Coroner's oillce in search of the
r.andld writer. When Iki reached it ho found only
Mr. Samuel W. Baldwin, of the UeraUL Mr. Bald
win Is one of'the Vets of tho press. If ho were an
actor he would have a complimentary farewell bene
fit got up la his honor at tho Academy of
Music or Grand Opera House. Bolng
aierely a pollco reportcr.l he goes quietly about
bis business, and may be seen any day from nine till
twelve and from twelve to four In the Tombs police
court, munching an apple when he Is not taking
reports, and completely lost to everything but the
progress of the trisil around hltn when he Is. Bo
tween whiles, like all the other police reporters, ho
fetches np at the Coroner's oillce, whither they all
go to compare notes and 1111 out their reports.
When Dr. Shine arrived at tho room appropriated
to the reporters, he found Mr. Baldwin there alone,
and having no respect for his silver-pated head or
his silver-plated lead pencil, Bquared olf at him In
pugilistic stylo, and Invited hlra to "come on." Mr.
.Baldwin has had an Immense experience In all the
tnirloHitles of crime, but he confesses that he never
before experienced anythiug like that. Perceiving
that his victim remained quietly on the defensive,
Dr. Shine turned his attention to the desk
at which he had been sitting, overbal
anced it, split it Into fragments, scat
tered the peuH, Ink, paper, and books, broke
several other articles of furniture, bestowed a choice
collection of profane blackguardisms upon Mr. Bald
win, ordered him out of the oillce, and tlnallyleft,
1 opine, however, that he Is sick of his conduct by
by this time. I rather think that he has repented in
sackcloth and ashes, and begun to feel what a bitter
thing It is to insult and abuse even the humblest
newspaper man who happens to have been In the
right. As it happens, Mr. Baldwin was not the re
porter who wrote the innocent urtlcle irliich gave
"the Coroner's man" such oirenne. lie was not in
anywise connected with it, and I'r. snlne has made
one of the biggest mistakes of lils Uo.

cused of having skinned a dog alive. A friend called
in upon him a few days ago and discovered lilm In
the process of canine vivisection, the animal howl

stated that he had been subject to attacks of in
sanity, and that he had been recommended to apply
dog-fat as a remedy. I am not physician enough
to explain what property there is In dog-fat capable of
exerting a psychical influence, but the Jury evidently

New York, Dec. 16, 1809.
The "Real" t!ae,
A little over ten months ago tho trial of John Iteal
for the murder of a policeman named John Smedick
took place in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, and
Heal was sentenced to be hanged on tho 2d of the
ensuing April. Owing to some technical quibbles,
and a factitious Interest existed by one or two un
toward circumstances attending the homicide, a
stay of execution was, with great dltilculry, ob
tained, and Real was transferred from the con
demned cell to the one he had occupied pre
vious to the trial. There he has remained
since last June to the present hour, Battering all the
horrors of solitary confinement, a Damocles of the
canaille, with a rope suspended over bis head Instead
of a sword. During his Imprisonment he has been
rapidly advancing In consumption, and If ho were re
leased to-day would hold his life by as slender a
thread as that of the Kmperor of France. After a
lapse of many months the decision of the Supicmc
Court, before which the case was reargued, lias becu
announced, and It is unfavorable to tho prisoner.
This decision, however, Is not necessarily final The
case will next be reviewed by the Court of Appeals,
and since probably one year more will elapse before
that tribunal gives its ultimatum, Real will probably
be, by that time, whero human judgment
will have no terrors for him. During his
Imprisonment various reports . relative to
his bavlng been seen on the street ami at various
places of amusement have gained more or lesa
credence. Tho simple truth is that he has never
been out of Jail. Guilty or not guilty of deliberate
murdcr.he bears the look of a man who has expiated
the crime, as much as such a crime can be expiated
In this life, by physical and mental suffering. Cer
tainty as to his fate whether it Is to be that of Im
prisonment or execution would be the best tonic in
his present collapsed condition. It is the uncer
tainty that kills. -If you could see his face, as I have,
you would say that tho seal of death was there.
' Honor to (ii'orife Pea body.
What do you think of the Idea Unit our city militia
shall turn out in order to do honor to tho remains of
Mr. Peabody? Isn't it absurdly ridiculous? Why
should a man whose whole life was one of peace
and good-will be surrounded In his death oy any
thing even remotely connected with martial honors 1
It Is well enough for the United States Government
to turn out Its marines In order to escort tho hon
ored relics to the depot. There Is some
show of propriety in that But how
can the great philanthropist possibly be honored
by the spectacle of a set of cpauleted amateur
caracoling around on cheap steeds that fliey don't
know bow to manage ? There might be some reasou
In parading all the boncvoleut societies, public
schools and Sunday schools, and improvising a
philanthropic Jubilee. Mr. Peabody was equally a
friend to every benevolent movement and a genial
appreclator of the advantages of education. Thero
are sacred as well as civic associations with his
memory, and there would certainly be no im propriety
In solemnizing the arrival of his remains with some
thing of devotional reverence.

m1 Houston street, New York city, of two bust
by the celebrated American sculptor, niram Powers.
One Is the head of "Eve," his most recent, and it is

Hnowbnlled to Death.
A littlo boy named John Doody, six years ol age,
died yesterday morning from the effects of a wound
received from a snow-ball. In company wltn some
other little men, he had been celebrating the fall of
the "beautiful snow" by an accumulation of beantl
f id'snow-balls,whlch he proceeded.to distribute gratis
at the heads of his friends. One of them, by wsy of
returning these attentions with interest, unwittingly
discharged back a snow-ball a littlo harder than the
rest. It hit tho child on the templo and knocked
him to the groond Insensible. He was taken to his
home, and was immediately attended to by skillful
physicians, but the wound was too serious for Its
effects to be prevented. Death was in that snow
ball, and. the little fellow died, having never recov
ered consciousness. The moral is not that little
boys should never play snow-ball, but that Ice and
stones are not proper materials to construct these
ermine pellets but of.
A Trick Ton.orlnl.
Senor Lorenzo Humassello Is one of those Spanish
barbers on Broadway who keep placarded. In their
windows and on their walls the announcement,
"Aqui xt habla EnpaynoL" One of his customers was
icnor Jose Fcrrcro de Conto, cdllor of HI CronMa.
For some reason or other 8cnor Conto provoked the
'ire of Senor Humassello, who expressed his revenge
by hanging up In his shop a caricature of the editor.
Senor Conto, being apprised of this, proceeded to
Senor Humassello's palatial shaving shop, tore down
the picture, and got up a small Spanish hull-flglit
the barber being the bull which he took by the
horns. The case came before the Justice of Jeffer
son Market Police Court, who dismissed it as being
of too frivolous a nature.

Of course tho RIchardson-McKarland caso is like

The latest "other" is that of a married couple over
In Williamsburg, whoso name was Conlin. For
several years Mr. and Mrs. Conlin lived, a codliu'
sort of existence. Wedded life to thera was one
long process of tnrtle-dovery. But Mr. Conlin was a
travelling agent, and was sometimes absent for
months at a time. During his last Interval of ab.
sence ho was informed by some of those "frleuds of
the family," who are always lying around loose, that
something wrong was the mutter at home. Instead
of saying "Shoo, fly, don't bodder me !" as less sus
picious men would liuve done, he came home at
once, fonnd Mrs. Conlin and a man
named Cunningham Imbibing connubial comfort
together, and forthwith smashed Cunningham, and
frightened Mrs. Conlin lu mysterious suddcnnens
down the first convenient back-alley. It is under
stood that Mr. Beecher has consented to perform
the ceremony of marriage between Mr. Cunningham
(the Injured seducer) and Mrs. Conlin (the faithless
and meritorious wife). Mr. Fiothlngham lias not
yet been interviewed, but 1 understand .thut he is
busy giving thanks for what "these two" (meaning
Mrs. Conlin and Mr. Cunningham) "have been to

THE ALMON SOCIETT.
The Anniversary Itleetliia The Toants and
mievcues.
The fourteenth anniversary ot the Albion
Society a society of English residents of
this city, for the relief of . Euiilishmen
in distreis was celebratod on Monday evenintr
by a most excellent dinner at Augustin's, lu
Walnut street. The elegancies of the table were
only equalled by the wit, humor, and enthusi
asm of the party, and it affords us a great deal
of pleasure to state that this dinner was one of
tho most successful ever (riven by the "Albion,"
already famous for its unbounded charities aud
excellent dinners.
Tho worthy President, Frederick Falrthorne.
Esq., occupied tho chair with his accustomed
grace and dignity. Her Majesty's Consul,
Charles E. K. Koriright, Esq., was on his right,
and (icneral Patterson, of the Hibornia Society,
on his left. Surrounding him were Chief Justice
Thompson, of the Supreme Court, Judge
Ilare, James Allen, Esq., of tho St. George's
Society, Charles Macalester. . Esq., of the St.
Andrew's Society, and qther invited guests.
Alter thorough justice had been done to the
delicacies of the table, the President called the
gentlemen to order, and among the first of the
intellectual duties, a letter was read from Ed
ward Thornton, Esq., C; li., her Majesty's Minis
ter at Washington, regretting his Inability to be
E resent, expressing his warm sympathy for the
enevolent object of, the society, and enclosing
a check. This letter had so much merit In it
that it was received with great applause. A let
ter full of . encouragement was Iso received
from WiUiaiil Welsford, Esq., now of Xevr York,
tho former President of the Albion. Attorney
General Brewster also expressed by letter his
inability to b present.
The lirst toast of the evening was then an
nounced, "The Quccu," which was drunk stand
ing, the national anthem of "God Save the
Queen" following with very great enthusiasm.
The second toast, "The President ot- tho United
States," was also drunk standing, and "The
Star-Spangled Banner" sung in thorough John
Bull style. The next, being the third toast,
"The Donors aud Benefactors of the Albion
Society," was drunk standing and in silence.
The fourth sentiment on the list was, "Jier
Majesty's Representatives iu the United States.'
Charles E. K. Kortright, Esq., her Majesty's
Consul, responded to-tlns toatst.
Mr. Kortright stated that it was with pleasure
he rose to respond to this sentiment, especially
as he beheld a body of gentlemen who, whatever
their intimate social aud commercial relations
with this great country, still preserve a fond re
gard and attachment to the sovereign and peo
ple of the country to which they owe their
origin.
in the common intercourse of nations, cir
cumstances will arise tending to disturb the har
mony and peaceful relations which it is so de
sirable should exiet between countries like
England and the United States, owning as they
do, one common origin; but when such ques
tions urlc and are met in v spirit of mutual for
bearance and good-will, the clouds which seem
to lower o'er our heads soon become sunshiue
under the genial Influence of patriotism and
Btatcsmunship, and eventually become buried iu
the deep bosom of the ocean of diplomacy and
politics.
The Consul referred to tho "Alabama ques
tion," which has been so much discussed, aud
like Socrates at tho end of his long career, all
wo can say is "that we know nothing;" but this
vexed question, In tho Consul's view, would
eventually be settled on the basis of truth, jus
tice, and international law. lie could not go
quite so far as the Prime Minister of England,
who recently stated at theLord Mayor's dinner,
that "we ceuld not quarrel with the nation of
Georgo Peabody. Such questions are not settled
by tLe act of any siuglo individual, but it is tho
result of the public spirit of those countries
where tho dlfllculty unhappily exists. While on
tho subject of George Peabody, the Consul paid
a handsome tribute to the manifold charities of
that great philanthropist, commenting upon
the manner in which those charities hud been
responded to by the Queen and people
of England; referring to, the oifcr of a
baronetcy; the graceful gift of the
Queen's miniature conveyed In a letter that
only u woman could write; the unveiling of his
ptatue under the auspices of the Prince of
Wales; tho penultimate houors at Westminster
Abbey; the mournful funeral procession now
wcudme its way across the ocean, and especially
the anxlons desire of the Queen to degecud from
her throne not from her dignity and whisper
Into the dying ears of the great philanthropist a
few wordsof comlortand consolation ershU spirit
should depart to those realms of bliss where he
uow enjoys the fruits of his noble deeds on
earth.
Mr. Kortright conclndod a most Impressive
speech with the following sentiment, which was
drunk with great enthusiasm; "That peace,
harmony, and good will may ever subsist be
tween Great Britain and the United Ssates."
Professors Thunder and Pierce, aud Messrs.
Blakely, McDonough, and Fisher followed with.
the song "All's Well," rendered In most artistic
stvlo.
Fifth. "England, the land of our birth." This
sentiment was responded to by Mr. McDonough
In his nsual happy and eloquent stylo, reforring
to the literature, the statesmanship, and the
powerful Influence of England In every clime.
The Queen also received well-mcrltcd compli
ments from his silvery tongue, as also did the
world-lamented George Peabody.
Slxtli. "The United States, the land of onr
adoption." Responded to by Macgrcgor J.
Mitchcson,Esq., In his well-known able manner.
Seventh. "Our Sister Societies." Charles Ma
calester, Esq.. of the St. Andrew's Society, took
charge of this sentiment, tracing the beneficial
effects of the various societies for the relief of
foreigners iu the large cities, referring to the
tears of gratitude he himself has witnessed In
many instances of relief afforded to persons
who have landed on strange shores without
means, without friends, and almost without
hope. Mr. Macalester also spoke in tho most
feeling manner of his lamented friend and the
universal philanthropist, George Peabody, whoso
great chnritlcs would tend more than any other
event that has happened for some years to
cement the cordiality and good feeling between
England and America. Tho speaker was much
applauded.
Eighth. "Tho Army and Navy." Ably re
sponded to by General Patterson, who made one
of his very best speeches,
Ninth. ""The Judiciary, the Bar, and tho
Tress." Kcsponded to by Chief Justice Thomp
son, in a very able manner, for the judiciary, and
by Judge Ilare for the bar, in very eloquent
terms.
Tenth. "The Clergy."
Eleventh. "The Ladles." Responded to by
un appropriate song, led by the musicians pre
sent. After the regular toasts were over, Mr. Falr
thorne, the President, opened the role for the
continued How of w it and feast of reason In a
very neat speeuh, which was greeted with rounds
of applause. James Allen, Esq., of tho St.
George's Society, (ieorge Bullock, Esq.( of the
Consholiocken Mills, Messrs. Wright, Thomp
son, and others made speeches savoring of
wit. humor, and piquancy. ,
At a late hour this body of thorough-paced
Inglifh gentlemen left for their homes in very
well-preserved condition.

UESSION OF NOVEMHEIl IIOTII.
The Fresident, Colonel Koguis, is assisted by
Messrs. Bournat, Dollpus, De Bcauchamp, anil
Martel, Secretaries.
M. Jules Favro ascends tho tribune I have
the honor to depose with the Bureau of the
Chamber the followiug demands of interpella
tion: We demnnd to question the Government upon
the motives that have caused tho delay in the
convocation of the Corps Legislatif, without re
spect for the rights of the Chamber, and iu face
of the serious risks that might have been in
curred by the uneasiness which was tho in
evitable result of that adjournment.
We demand to question the Government upon
the subject of ollicial candidatures, so that we
may bo informed whether it intends to persist
in that system.
We demand to question the Government upon
the conduct ot tho different authorities charged
to watch over tho public peace and the execu
tion of the laws in the month of June last.
' We demand to question the Government upon
the facts that have been the motive of the san
guinary repression of the disturbances in the
basin o"f the Loire. We make tho same interpel
lation for the disturbances of l'Aveyron.
Finally, we have the honor to depose upon the
Bureau of the Chamber the project of a law by
which we demand that henceforth tho attributes
of the constituent power shall belong to tho
Corps Legislatif exclusively.
M. Em ilo Ollivicr I desire to bo heard upon
a question of our regulations. The project of
law is presented to yon in virtue of our initia
tory right. I have no objection to proffer
against a project as yet totally unknown to me,
and this latter fact is tho reason of my desiring
to speak before the reading of the explanation
of motives. It seems to me that, no matter what
may be the regulations, the initiatory right of
each member of the Assembly should be subor
dinate to a previous examination, as has been
tho case in the regulations of all the precedent
Assemblies. (Interruption.) I say to a pre
vious examination of the bureaus or of a com
mittee instituted by the Chamber. It seems to
me, therefore, that in the absence of regulations
on the subject, it is necessary that the Assembly
should make a provisional rule to determine the
manner of proceduie to be followed whenever a
member of the Assembly shall propose a law.
(Agitation, and cries of "Read, read!" "No,
no !")
M. Jules Favre It cannot he contested that
the Chamber can, if it chooses, assent to the de
sire for prudence expressed just now by tho
Minister of the Interior. I have uot to explain
myself upon the political consequences of such
u desire, and upon its interpretation by the
country under the 'serious circumstances in
which we find ourselves. This is a reserved
point. I take the liberty, however, to observe
to the House that the proposal of the Minister
of tho Interior is a very serious one, for the
moment a faculty is accorded to us tho Gov
ernment thinks of restraining it (No, no.)
How, gentlemen, can you pronounce your
opinion upon the character of a project of law,"
when the rules concerning tho exercise of
onr initiatory right are not as yet made? A.
little while ago I heard Hon. M. Ollivier say
what Is very true, that our initiatory right, like
all rights, must necessarily be regulated. The
regulation that I can see beforehand is a pre
vious examination by tho Bureaus of tho Assem
bly. Is it then possible that when this right
presents itself for the first time, and when it
should be exercised without any sort of previous
examination, It is to be sacniiccd by a sort of
provisional but siulemn proceeding, to the terrors
that the Government appears to mauifest lu tho
presence of an act that places tho Constitution
In question. I vote against tho previous ques
tion." (Approbation on the Lett.)
M. Emile Ollivier I dosire (interruption)
(Several voices, "Address the Chamber.)
I desire to notify those who interrupt mo,
even before I have spoken, that they are mis
taken if they imagine that they make me lose
my calmness by these Interruptions, or make me
abandon the object that I have in view. (Ap
plause from several beuches.) We are dealing
at the present moment with a question of tho
Constitution, of the interest of the
tho dignity of tho Chamber. We will often
have occasion to examine it, to discuss it, and
express our sincere opinions in regard to it.
(Assent on several benches.) We are dealing
to-day with a question of regulations. Before
the regulations have been decided upon we are
liable to llnd ourselves daily lu the presence of
projects due to tho Individual right of initiation, ,
and that will be extremely serious. While we
are awaiting the establishment of regulations,
the necessity of which each oue of us recog
nizes, I propose that the House shall decide, as i
a provisional rule, that the projects of laws of
Individual Initiative shall be submitted to the '
procedures that regulate interpellations accord
ing to our actual rules. (Assent from several
benches. Interruption on the Left.)
The Mlnlstor of the Interior The honorable
M. Jules Favre has given us a very Imperfect 1
knowledge of the last proposition that he pre- !
senieu iu uic iuamoer. i cnuuui, niqireciaio It
ut this moment in a manner to make myself an
immediate proposal to the House. I only want
to reserve, from this momont, the right of tho
Government to demand the previous question.
(Interruptions on the Left.) : Don't Interrupt,
gentlemen, aud above all do not seek to distort
the meaning of my words. Bo assured that I
aw one of those who respect the independence
of the Senate that I respect it much more than
the authors of the proposals you have Just heard;
but It was my duty to make, in the name of the
Government, the most absolute reservations la
regard to Its conduct vU-a-vis of all similar
propositions. (Applause.) I
M. Kaepail Gentlemen, you Lave just beard
the reply of the Minister of the Interior to M.
Jules Favre. I have come to present to yott a
proposition for a moro advanced plan than his
a proposition which you reserve, whllo it
should precede all the rest namely, to impeach
the Minister who has slapped yonr face. (Laugh
ter on some benches.) I ou laugh, gentlemen,
and yet It is truo that you havo been gently put
out of doors, and that yon have accepted the
fact with the utmost meekness. With tho ex
ception of myself and a few others. Weill I
Impeach M. do Forcado (laughter) tor having
falsified tho elections, for it is he who has done
all the mischief In these elections. Without
him you might really consider yourself named
entirely by universal s;iffrago,whilo at present
each has doubts on tho subject. (Exclamations.)
A great number of this members of the House
cannot boast of having been named by universal
suffrage. You took tho oath yesterday; had
you tho right to take tho oath? (Confu
sion.) I make an impeachment; I hare
the right to be licard; this accu
sation Is formal. You havo had events
M. de TUlancourt One can't hear a word.
M. Raspail You hove had terrible events; you
have had the 7th Juno and the following days.
Who made those days ? Was it not you, M. de
Forcade la Koquette ?
Tho Minister of the Interior Yott know bet
ter than 1 who made those days, M. de Hosnall.
M. Kaspail It was you who invited M. Pletrl
to make those days. (Noise and cries of "We
can't hear.") You are responsible for them. Not
only have you attacked a portion of the popula
tion, but you have attacked all ranks of society.
All ranks of society have been, so to say, put
(Noiso and Interruption.) You may interrupt
mo as much as yon please, but you will not pre
vent me uUerlnlr the truth. Blood flowed; that
blood accuses you. It Is thus you desire to learn
to govern, rou are always tnrcatenea by
(The noise drowns the voice of tho speaker.)
Shout as long as you please: I will shout louder
than you. 1 have listened to you without inter
rupting yon, and I have the right to be heard
without interwiptlon. (The noiee continues;
from all sides cries of "Speak louder; one can't
hear you.") I'll interrupt those who interrupt
me. Hear me; I have presented myself before
you to demand an act of impeachment against
assassins. (Exclamations and laughter.) You
laugh at it. But they belong to your
class those who iwcre assassinated in the
streets. Three of your counts received blows of
loaded clubs, while going about to raise each
other when knocked down. They were your
men. None of ours were there. It is for tho
sake of the population of Paris that I address
yon and accuse the Minister guilty of such pro
vocation. It was infamous, and It happened
dally. On the 20tlx of October you had 40,000
men who arrived to produce tho samo phe
nomenon, and against whom? Against people
who were nowhere to be seen. You reserved
then all this for Inoffensive men. (Murmurs.)
You may well murmur. Ihis sort of speech, to
which you do not know how to reply; this
epecch of menace and of . (Increasing
murmurs!) You will not hear me then. I con
clude by saying to you that all Franco will ap
plaud me, and that you will remain the only
complainants ot a Homicidal power. (h,xelanuv
tions and murmurs.)
The President I ask tho Chamber to pro
nounco Its opinion upon tho question of send'
ing the project of law of the honorable M. Jules
iavre to the Bureaus like an ordiuarj' law,
(Yes, yes.) Then I will pass on to the interpel
lations. (The votes are taken.)
The President I now come to the interpella
tions. Tho first demand of interpellation for
warded to mc has been formulated by tho honor
able Marquis Andelarre. It reads as follows:
"We demand to question the Ministry upon
their delay in convoking tho Corps Legislatif."
M. Jules Favre has already made tho same de
mand. Marquis do Fire I demand that the interpel
lations shall be held back till alter the vesica
tion of powers. ("Yes, yes no, no, no.") We
must first of all name our President, constitute
the Bureau, and then verify the powers of those
of our colleagues that are not as yet admitted.
(Interruption on the Left.) As the gentlemen
of the Left complain of the delay of the convo
cation of the Chamber, let them be at least con
sistent with their complaint. (Applause.) I
demand that my proposition shall be voted upon.
M. Jules Favre My reply is very simple.
Those of our colleagues whoso powers it lias
been impossible to verify as yet will have tho
same rights as those whose powers have been
verified. (Divers movements.)
Maiquis de Pire The proof of the reply of
tho honorable M. Jules I avre not being com
pletely satiBiactory is tne tact that there are
some of our unverified colleagues whose expul
sion M. Jules Favre would be .the first to de
mand. But, pardon me, this expression was
neither just nor polite. I withdraw it and sub
stitute the word nou-admisslou. There arc some,
I say, whose non-admission M. Jules Favre
would bo tho first to Insist upon, because their
clectious seem to have been extraordinarily fa
vored by the Prefects. I do not wish to use the
qualification employed by the gentlemen of
the Left, and by their -journalists; it is worthy
neither of France of tho seventeenth nor of the
eighteenth century. (Murmurs.) I seizo with
cagcrnets this public occasion to protest against
it, for it appears to me to be as unbecoming as
it is trivial.
Tho President According to the old regula
tions, the demands of interpellations had to
bo sent back to tho Bureaus where they had
been examined. According to tho Scnatus Con
sultum there is no longer any question of their
being sent back. The Chamber fixes the day
when it desires to pass to the discussion. Do
you want to send the demands of interpellations
back to tho Bureaus, as tho old regulations pre
scribe ? ("No, no! Y'es, Y'esl") I consult tho
Chamber to know if it intends to apply the old
rules. ("No.no!")
After a short debate the Chamber decides that
the demands of interpellation shall be submitted
for examination after the coustitutiou of tho
Bureaus.
The President I have received a proposition
from Hon. M. Kaspail. (Noise.) M. Kaspail
proposes to the Chamber to impeach the Minis
try represented by M. rorcade tie hi Koquette,
for having committed assassinations (prolonged
exclamations), qualified by the statutes, ou tho
7th of June aud the following days. (Uproar.)
Tho Chamber desires that this demand shall be
dealt with like thse the examination of which
is deferred till after the constitution of tho
bureaus.
After a debate, in w hich the understanding is
arrived ut that tho old Bureaus shall continue
the examination of the elections referred to them
and that the new Burcausshall have to deal only
with the new elections, thedtviding the members
of the Corps Legislatif into nine Bureaus is
proceeded w ith. The President says he wishes
to consult the Chamber on the order of the day.
It is agreed that the Bureaus shall be organized
the second day after the sitting, and that the
Chamber shall assemble to-morrow for nomina
tion of its President, four Vice-Presidents, and
twoQuestors.
Upon the suggestion of M. Josseau it is
agreed that the order of the ensuing day shall
also comprise, if possible, the constitution of
the Bureau.
Tho sitting terminates at 3'30 o'clock.
The announcement of assembling of the
Oecumenical Council In Rome is put among the
local matters In a Boston paper. Boston always
wus modest.
