SITTING OF JAN. H.

M. Dupin took the chair at 1, but as there were not
deputies enough present to proceed to business, the sitting
was suspended until a few minutes before 2.
After the proces verbal had bee❑ read and adopted, M.
Andre Kwchlin, a deputy new elected, took the oath and
his seat.

The Chamber then resumed the discussion of the ar.
titles of the bill for regulating the departmental or

ganization.
According to the arrangement made at the close of the
preceding sitting, the question as to whether the elections
for the General Councils should take place in Assemblies
of Arrondissement, or in Assemblies of Cantonment, was
taken into discussion.

M. Charles Dupin and M. Emmanuel Pouffe argued in
favour of the Assemblies of Arrondissement. M. Foy
and M. Conturier in favour of Councils of Cantonment,
and M. De Podinas in favour of a system founded on the
agglomeration of several cantonments, in cases where
the population of each separate cantonment was insuf-
ficien- to render it of consequence enough to have a
separate assembly. The arguments adduced were mere
repetitions of those previously advanced. The Cham-
ber, by a small majority, decided in favour of As-
semblies of Arrondissement, but it was understood
that this decision was to be taken in the most general
sense, and that the questions of—whether there should
be one or more assemblies in each arrondissement ; and
whether the arrondissements should be taken as arrondisse-
ments of a sub-prefecture, or as electoral arrondissements,
were not decided by it. On these points an immense
variety of amendments had been presented, by M. Boudet,
M. Gaetan de la Rochefoucauld, M. Viennet, M. Du-
realt, and others; in consequence of which the Chamber,
after hearing those lion. Deputies, decided, on the sugges-
tion of M. Gillon, that all the amendments should be
referred back to the committee to arrange and make a
fresh report on them.
The discussion was then continued on the third section
of the bill, which involved questions wholly unconnected
ith those referred back to the committee.

Article 23 declares that there shall never be two indi-
viduals bearing to each other the relation of father, son,
brother, father-in-law, son-in-law, or brother-in•law,
members of a General Council, or a Council of Arrondisse-
ment at the same time.

M. Dumeylet, M. Fulcbiron, and M. Pelet, opposed
this article as unnecessary, since the electors would be
sufficient judges of the propriety of electing two relations.
M. Gillon (the reporter), the Minister of the Interior,
and M. Dulong supported it, pointing out the evils which
might arise from too much family influence being allowed
in a Council.

M. Glais.Bizoin suggested that the article ought to be
divided into two paragraphs, to be voted on separately,
since the Chamber might probably be of opinion that, even
though some inconvenience might arise from different
members of the same family being members of a small as-
sembly, such as a Council of Arrondissement, no such in-
convenience would exist in so large an assembly as the
General Council of a Department.
This suggestion was adopted, and the question being
put in that form, the Chamber adopted the restriction
with respect to Councils of Arrondissement, and njected it
with respect to General Councils.
A long conversation then ensued between M. Thil, NI.
Charamaule, M. Gillon, M. Gauthier de Rumilly, M
Laurence, M. July, and M. Lherbette, relative to the
mode of decidine, in the event of such double family elec-
tions, which individual should be excluded. As it ap-
peared that some of the suggestions, founded on a system
of maj,rity of votes, attached themselves to the questions
of the mode of voting not yet decided, the article was
referred back to the Committee, and the Chamber
passed to article 21, which provides that the sittings
of General Councils and Councils of Arrondissement,
shall not be public, that one-third of the members
must he present at all deliberatiow, and that the resolu-
tions of the Council shall he taken by ballot when required
by three Members. Some Deputies wished to adjourn
the discussion till the next sitting, but the Chamber de-
cided that it should be continued. The dissentients,
however, made eo much noise, that the President was
obliged more than once to remark severely on the impossi-
bility of proceeding with pubic business unless a proper
legislative decorum was observed.
The 24th Article, as above detailed, was adopted with-
out opposition ; but a somewhat long, though totally un-
interesting, discussion arose on the next Article, relative
to the admission of the Prefect and Sub-Prefect to the
Councils. The Government wished those functionaries
always to have the right of attending the Councils, except
when their respective accounts were under discussion ;
the Committee, on the contrary, wished them to be al-
lowed only to be present at the preliminary examination or
instruction of all municipal questions, but to be excluded
dui ing all actual deliberation.
M. Abraham Dui ois, M. Aroux, and the Minister of
the Interior, supported the former proposition, and M.
Gillon, M. Eschasseriaux, and M. Pelet, the latter. Gen.
Lafayette suggested that the best way of enabling the
functionaries in question to attend would be to make the
deliberations entirely public.--(A laugh.)
The Article, as proposed by the Committee, was
adopted by a large majority.—Adjourned.
