THE LATE KING OF DENMARK.

Charles Christian Frederick—Frederick VIL—
of
Denmark, whose death is announced this morning, wee
the son of Christian VII. by the Princess Charlotte Fred*•
rick of lieskleuburg-Schwerin, and was born in the year
1808. He travelled from 1826 to 1828, visiting Germany,
Italy, and Switzerland. He made a conaidenible stay at
Games, where he studied the military art and political
science. He was the only eon of his father, and succeeded
to the throne in January, 1848 ; and one of his first ado
was to direct four of his ministers to draw up a consti-
tution for the whole monarchy. As German feeling was very
strong in the southern provieces of the kingdom, and it was
deemed that the new constitution would bind Holstein,
Laueoburg, and Schleswig nearer to the Danish throne,
the new meditation was uspopnlar there, and iu February
so insurrectiou, encouraged by Germany, broke out. The
events which followed these opposite attempts of the King
and his German subjects form the materials of the history
of the stall uraolved Schleswig-Holatoin question. The
King was twice married to royal ladies, but was sot happy
is the relations thus formed. Thirteen years ago he was
manned morganatically to a Daniell lady, the Countess
Deaner. His death, which was preceded by only • short
dimes, is profoundly lamented.

PARIS. 60/11DAT_ ETZIMPO:

Some of the independent journals blame the
opposition deputies for having bees too indelvest
in the verification of powers. They have, it is
said, allowed upwards of 200 elections to be set
down as unopposed, although there were against
many of them protests of a very serious character ;
and a number of bad precedents have been made
ea the strength of reports gabbled over MasdiWy
to listless members, who paid no attention because
of a loose understanding that the time for serious
discussion had not yet commenced. All this is very
true. The majority has uublushingly sasetiosed
• number of flagrant illegalities, against which the
minority has scarcely lifted up a vase. As
the Sale justly observes, it is a monstrous doe-
' trice that abuse of authority, nay, palpable frauds
and open disregard of plain legal ointments,
shall never be allowed to vitiate an election unless
it appears beyond doubt that the result would have
been different had the law bees duly observed.
Facts of this kind are very difficult of proof, sad
when several of them are clearly established the
presumption ought to be that there most be limey
more of the same sort sot found out. A prefect,
nb-prefeet, or mayor, who i. oosvicted at illegality
in one plan is not likely to ham bees ecrepsdose
in another. A great many sets which the bureau:
could DOI have the face to defend have bees am-
nestied, on the convenient ground that the eigss.
tures of the witeesses alleging them were set
legalised. Here we get into a vicious info et
tyranny. The " legalisation" of a siemens, imam
attestation by the mayor, and it is soberiese that
the mayors, in almost all eases, refute Is alba
election petitions. But although there sea
be no doubt that a very loge preverbal
of the elections have been carried by, acid
that almost all are tainted with, malpractices,
I am disposed to think that the opposition has
played a prudent game in winking very bard at
them. As I remember telling yon some months
ago would probably he the case, the opposition is
afraid of proving too much. To have attacked
fifty or a hundred elections, and to bare shows up
the rottenness of the whole 'system in too glaring a
light, would only have been to have provoked the
government and the majority unnecessarily, and
prevented the opposition from getting on with them
at all. Of course everybody knows that no amount
of reason or eloquence would ever induce the
majority to vote their own disqualification, UT 11.
repudiate in a large and general way the means by
which most of them have obtained their sesta.
The tactics of the opposition are, therefore, to
grasp at little in the hope of g.iting wenetlminv.
They hare selected some half-Mu:en cases which
they esteem to be worse than any others, awl upon
these they mean to do battle. There was a report
a few days since that the government, fur very
shame and as earnest of better behaviour iu future ,
would abandon at least two or three ; but
from what I bear now, they sill fight every one.
We shall see, therefore, this week what the oppo-
sition is made of.
To those who are curious to know in detail what
are the manifold and ingenious devices of French
officials for working uuiven.al suffrage, I would
recommend a book just out at Dents a, "La
Lutte Electorate eu 184:41," by 11. Jules Ferry,
advocate. There you may see the Grand,.
Mogens and the Petits Movem, the threats awl
cajoleriee, by which the electors are either
driven or led, including the story of the Prefect of
the Loiret printing iu his journal that M. Pereira,
the opposition candidate, was in open rebellios
against the government and iu F.00116,0n011 .4 the
Hotel de Ville of Orleans, at the head ~f 4ou men,
and how M. Campaigne, the mayor of scuilhoose, t.,
make believe that a railway station was going to
be made by his influence, sent x patty of men to
stake out the ground, and then the day afar
the election bad the Alava pulle.l up again. with
many other delectable tales of toe like nature.
