LETTER FROM PARIS.
f Corms-pond ence of the Phila. Evenhez Bulletin.]
Pants, Friday, June 11,'1869 -
=A very few
words more must suffice to sum up the final re
sult of the elections, and then we must dismiss
the subject until the meeting and votes of the
new Chamber throw a more practical insight
upon its composition than any we can expect
to arrive at by mere cotinting up of numbers.
I confess to be a little disappointed, on the
whole, at the issue of the election's
for which a second ballot was
necessary. I had expected , • a larger
amount of success for the liberal side than ap
pears to have been realized. Out of 57 elee
nons, `..M have proved favorable to the govern
ment and 31 to the opposition;—a much more
equal partition than I had anticipated; for, as
I retuarked in a fernAr
sided a lig the liwrai candlidatea rY gef
erally exceeded those given to the single official
candidate, and it seemed as though tile former
had but to concentrate themselves in order to
be certain to carry the day. Partly, however,
from want of experience' in electioneering
tactics, and partly froth those divisions Created
by the ultras which I reprobated in my last
letter, this plan bas not been effectually car
ried out, and the government has gained more
than it need or ought to have dorie. This suc
cess, however, is much modified whenwelook
at the respective numbers of votes in many
cases, and see how very narrow the
offici - al - majority has proved. I mention one
or two of these by way of evatiiple:
M. Cremieux, for instance, a staunch old- re
publican, polled 12,920 votes against 13,1:1. M.
Pelletan was all but elected a second_time at
3farseilles,by 11,969 votes to 12,529. In the Gi
ronde, M. Lavertajou polled 15,011 to 16,073 .
In the Ilerautt, Jules Simon nearly won a .
third time, having 13,006 votes to 14,3 29 . In
the Loire, the official candidate gainedhis elec
tion only by 14,830 against 14,131 votes,'ln the
Meurille, the numbers were 15,457 to 15,088. In
the Iloute-Sa6ne, 10,394 to 10,387. In
the Fendie, 11,419 to 10,159. These are
some of the closest runs ; but in
many of the remaining cases the Govern
ment majority does not exceed 2,000, in a cast
of 25 or 30,000 votes. These 'can hardly be called
defeats on the side of the Opposition, anti are
certainly "victories of Pyrrhus" on that of the
Empire. But to sum up: I had calculated, in
former letters, the Opposition at 100' and the
Government majority at 200, in a Chamber - of
300, in round numbers. This calculation must
now be somewhat modified. The present re
sult appears to be 190 Official and
89 Opposition Deputies. But to the latter, we
must add MM. Jules Simon, Ernest Picard,
Bancel and Gambetta, all elected twice, and
to be replaced by liberals either in Paris or
the Provinces.. The final conclusion, there
fore, will be. a government majority of 199 to
an opposition minority of 93; and this appears
to be the numerical composition of the new
French Chamber, though we must wait to see
it at work to judge accurately of the
spirit which animates it. There can be
no doubt that both the majority
and the government.itself will be compelled
to bear in mind the fact that the fernier now
represents only about one-half the votes it did
formerly, and to modify- their •action accord
ingly.
Some demonstrations took place in Paris at
the close of the poll. One, of a peaceful Char
acter was at the house in the Rue Neuve.Aes.
Petits-Champs, where M. Thiers's committee
sat. A vast crowd assembled at it to cheer the
new member, who came forward in person.
He appeared greatly moved and elated
at his success, 'andwith great warmth
of manner deckared that "he would conduct
himself as an honorable citizen t should do."
Though cow past seventy, and 'his head
"whitened with the winter snow'," M. Tillers
seems still hearty und, vigorous, and to have
some good work lett in him yet.. It• would
have been a very ungracious act on the part of
his' fello*-citizens to have allowed a man of
his eminence, and who has fought their battles
as he has done for the last six years, to have
been beaten by 'a man like d'Alton-Shee, who
literally nevert did anything. The letter .of
the latter to M.. de M6rny, after the coup
d' Oat, which has been pablished, inwhich he
calls de Moray moil cher anti, and (Woven that
arch-plotter, and thanks him tbr , •fetting
off"--saying he "would have done as,much for
him"—did d'AltOn-Shee a great deal of harm,
and made people believe them both to be ~ a
couple of political adVenturers, who' sought
only their own advantage. It is a curious
ample of retributive justice to see how fatal
auy, the very slightest, cohneetion' with the
-origin of the present government now is to
popular favor. On the contrary; M. quiets; 'one
of 'the first victims of the coupd'itat, though
by no means a popular man in many, of Ins
opinions, bas been 'elected by ifiooo votes.
As he entered his carriege And drove off' from
his Committee Room, - 116 was prodigiously
cheered by an immense asaeifiblage all round
the house; and M. Dufanre, the PreSident
his Committee, came'forward'and prdnounced
an eulogism upon 'universal suffrage." The
whole scene was very exeiting; and wasfelthY
all present to be quite an example- of what
is called /a justice du 2Jeapli: Tir the evening,
after the election; the private residence of the
new member, in the' Mace St. George; 'was
thrown open to all centers, and some five or
six thousand of M. Thiess's constituents 'and
others, of. all 'r,anks and themes, •santeAri
blouses and- some in black coats and virhite
passed through the &dons, shaking hands
ties,
and Interchanging 'eengrittulations the
most friendly manner: , on the great 'success
which had crowned.-the day.
Seine scenes of a much ruder description took
place in other parts of the city, and especially
where M. Rochefort hruibemi defeated. His
adherents assembled in graet nmnbers, shoat-
ing Wit'e la Lanterns! and making a.dis' turbance.
The Government had the follY to seize ';and.
confiscate the Rappel, an organ written - almost
solely by Rochefort and the"'two- Victor
Hugos, father and son. This proceeding
created almost an imeute and regular battlebe
tween the police and the mob. All the caf'Cs
were ordered to be closed on the Boulevard
Montmartre, and the audience in the New
Vaudeville Theatre, close by, was 230 alarmed
at hearing what was going on outside that it
left the house en masse, and the performance
ceased. A great number of arrests were made
the police were much mauled, and a commis:.
nary nearly killed, but all was quiet againnext
morning. •

A 'Paris • correspondent, after giving an ae

as follows :
A disturbance occurred near the .Place de ,

several of them were seriously wounded , :by

Bellville, to the ~Rpulevardi, , du,i :Temple
armed with iron rails, , . , wrested, from
the ' fence .of the , 'market, : with, which,
they battered dawn "every lamp-post on
their entire route, destroyed all the kiosks, and '
sacked a number of cafes, and stores, besides
overturning all the omnibuses and carriages
that they came across. At one point, they at-,
tempted to raise a barricade withadimple of
omnibuses, which they had overturned, but
the mounted patrol were on- the spot qbick
enough to prevent an act that might have been
very serious in its results, because the moment
the mob is able•to get up a temporary defence,
there is sure to be a fight. The police are, there
fore, exceedingly active in preventing a suc
cessful first step., This band • from Bellyille
got down as far as the, Boulevard du Temple,
leaving its path strewn with wrecks of car
riages, cafés, lamps, kiosks, sls and' every
thing that could be reached by • the mob, when
the .cavalry charged. it and put' it to flight.
Every one of the mob dropped his bar of iron
or wooden pole and: trusted to his legs to get
out of range of the sabres of the mounted
guards.
The loss of life was somewhat serious, but
it is difficult to obtain the figures. Hundreds
of arrests were made, and by two o'clock the
city had resumed its wonted quiet and tran
quillity. Last night, however, there was an
other demonstration in the 'Botilevard Mont
martre, which was still more serious than any
preceding one. • It was pretty well understood
that the authorities had determined' to quell
these disturbances at every cost, and it was
known that the troops had , been
placed on •waiting orders; ready to move at a
ipoment's notice. In case the mob proved ,
stubborn the troops were to be used and
the crowd dispersed with bayonet and ball.
This announcement or impression caused a.
- still greater influx of curious people at / the
dangerous points, and the revolutionary lxinds
or agents were not less numerous. At /half
past eight o'clock the Boulevard was literally
crammed with people, some singing the Mar
seillaise
and uttering seditious cries, and all
more or less excited. Before nine o'clock all
the omnibuses and carriages were turned off
the Boulevard to make their way as best they
could by the side. streets. The police Were
soon on the ground, more than - 2,000 strong.
Several companies of Gardes de Paris were i
also brought up, while the mountedpolice
were stationed in. the side streets in full
strength. The police attempted to keep the ,
streets by pushing through strong bodies of
Sergents de Vile en nwsse, but they.only infu
riated the crowd and made matters still worse.
The demonstrative portions of the crowd were
made up of blouses and black coats,' about
equally divided. They :were exceedingly
noisy. They sung the Marseillaiso, hurrahed
for Rochefort, cried "Down with Napoleon,"
and shouted all sorts of seditious calls. '
The cafés and stores were closed long before
ten o'clock, and the aspect of qffairs was,.
accordingly, gloomy. As yet there was no
violence offered to the agents of the authorities,
and the crowd would probably have retired of
its own accord had not masses of troops been
Ilushed through, the dense masses of people to
tlfettrin maim,.
l A
out midnight there was a tremendous
charge of troops,on foot and mounted, and the
crowd was slowly dispersed; not without dash
ing off into side streets' and wreaking. their
vengeance upon lamp-posts, kioSks and every
breakable window. The damage to" public and
private property was very Considerable,as may
be seen to-day.. AIL the theatres were '
'emptied at. :an . early hour - by: 7 the revo
intionary ,cries •!. of. the - mob, although
strong detachments of soldiers . were ,
stationed at every entranco.r Until two o'clock
this morning the mob was at its work of de
' struction, and th° police:, were engaged in
making arrests. 3lore thanl,ooo persons were'
arrested during the night; . but it did not seem
to affect the spirits'of the balance of the mob
in the least: Several persons were killed and
a great many wounded . by Cavalry and in
fantry charges. 'The, police and soldiers' suf
fered considerably from flying stones and gun
shots,though the latter Were very few. '
In the faubourg St. Antoine; about the Bas
tile, the situation was exceedingly threatening:
Large masses apeopli3had assembled in the
quarter about the•Bastile. - Charges of cavalry
were required to.disperse the crowd around
the Column of Jilyrand many were wounded
in the- affair that threatened to become very
Serious at one time, but which, passed away
before the vigorous action of„the •author

eitement . was . intense,' and Many frauds Of

street:, and pillaged many shops and cares.
In some of the main streets all the stores
were closed by four o'clock, the air was so
tilled with rumors of trouble. It was well
that the shopkeepers were, on the lookout,
because the mob was made up of some Very
bininlements. It was noticed that the most
dotionsttative portien of all the mobs was
made up of young men, led on'by old heads,
who seemed to have control over them.
It is believed by. many that there is concert
iii` the 'action of the,masses due to the secret
organizations of a red republican hue': That
this Surmise is probably correct • is /.proved by
theprenarations made by the authorities, to
use troops at every point. Another proof may
he found in the fact that in all the great , cities
of Prance outbreaks eta revolutionary chat=
aster have been taking place the past few
days, and they are likely to be renewed when
the mews from Paris spreads, through
France. It is acknowledged _on
every side that the disturbances here' halre
a- deep significance. While people do not be
lieve that they will immediately cause serious
changes, it is everywhere feared that they are
the 1.? egi nuing of a movement that aims at the
overthrow of, the empire. The impresSion
obtains that the grand development of the
movement will occur in AuguSt next, on the
Emperor's Day, and that. it may be a
success. People begin to discuss the
feeling of the army---whether it can he re-,
lied' on to support the Emperor, or whether
it will affiliate with the people. Of course
these are nothing but speculations/ on that
point. No one can speak for the army now;
but it is believed to be true to Napoleon at this
moment. What'may be accomplished in three
months is quite another question. It is # • eless
to speculate on this point. I merely ng it
up to show that, the people are lookm # ahead
for more serious disturbances. )„
To-night they expect another cilit , and
I arn informed that powder and ball will be
used to quell it. The telegraph will tell you
whether the fears of the government are well
founded or not, long before this reaches the
steamer.

hard, of William Sport, and Miss Glass, of
Pittsburgh.
The above' are only some of the prominent'
features of the annual meeting.
A West Point correspondent writes that
during the recent examination it was observ7
able all. during the conversation, which was
general, how blr. Colfax and every other per
son except General Sherman, when addressing
the President, would say "Mr. President,"
while General Sherman, in the most familiar
style, would address him as simply "Grant."
They passed jokes and told their stories like
schoolboys, and the scenes around them seemed
to bring back their former days when they
were such. Grant and Sherman were one year
in the Academy together. General. Grant
observed that "Sherman was a tall, line-look
ing fellow," when Sherman said: "Yes, and,
Grant was a little runt of a boy, running
around here." Neither
,of them reached the
dignity of a Sergeant while here,• Sherman
saying that "was never anything more than
a high private," and Grant adding that he was
worse than that, for he "was always at the foot
of his class."
The President has a son now in the Academy,
and General Grant says that he is "following
in the footsteps of his father, always at the tail
of his class; but," said he, "he is not quite so
bad as I was, for he is only next the footin one
department, while I was at the foot." This
was a little exaggerated, for the register shows
that Grant, as a cadet,stood very fair in mathe
matics, as indeed his son does also.
Gen. Grant dined with the Board several
times, and one thing was observable,that while
several of the Board drank freely of the wine,
Of which there were several kinds on the table,
/General Grant abstained.: So did Mr. Colfax.
He is a thorough-going temperance man.
A good story is told on Henry. Ward
Beecher, who preached the sermon' to--:the
graduates last Sunday. On seeing the cadets
at their dresS-parade on Saturday evening, he
remarked that ho "wished Providence had
destined him for a soldier, for he thought he
would have made a good one." Major Boyhton,
the accomplished Adjutant of the poSt, said to
him on Sunday, as he came out of the pulpit;
"Mr. Beecher, I heard you say you wish you
had been destined for a soldier, for you
thought you would have made a good one; do
you think so still?" "Yes," said Beecher, "I
think I should."
"But I think I can prove that you ( probably
would have made a poor one," said the Major.
"How so, Major," said Beecher. "You, told
us in your sermon, that when Providence
wii - iireffc - •11 - 6 - a - , good work He chose the best
means—selected men who were fitted for the
work. Now we have come out of a war, and
you werenot a soldier in it. On your doctrine,
is, it not a fair, inference that you would not
have made a good soldier, as 'Providence did
nOt'call you into the service ?" Beecher
acknowledged that the application the Major
made. of his sermon was just.

and 'troops were attacked by about 4;000 in

all well armed with gins received by, the Perit.
The Spanish accounts admit that the. Cubans
fonght with bravery, and soon made their way
among the wagons and muleS of - the convoy
Gen. blannol is reported to have beeti

Gen. Peralta is also. supposed to have been
killed, as 'likewise Brigadier-General

very clearly that the Spanish troops did not'
remain on the field long enough to learn the
truth; and if they did not, it must naturally
follow their Opponents did, and so were the
victors. •
The losses of the Spaniards in the engage
went are given at sixty killed and wounded,
including among the last Major Boniche.,
That of the insurgents is not furnished by the
Spanish writers; but all the Spanish accounts
agree in representing that General Ferrer was
back in Puerto del Padre on the 2d, without
his convoy, and with less than 1,000 of the
1,800 men with whom he had started from the
place.
At Cienfuegos and Villa Clara the instir
gcnts are more numerous than ever, better dis
ciplined and armed, and are not only harass
ing the Spanish troops, but are also forcing
them to remain on the defensive in their forts
fled positions. On Saturday Gen. Lesca asked
reinforcements of Captain-General Espinar,
and in compliance with the demand 200 Civil
Guards on Sunday left Havanafor Cienfuegos.
These are some of the troops that refused to
obey Captain-General Dulce's order to fire
upon the mob that deposed him, and there is
no certainty that they will prove more valuable
soldiers to Gen. Lesca than they did to Cap=
taro-General Duke.
