THE REMAINS OF NAPOLEON.

In the French Chamber of Deputies May
Goth, in the midst of discussion on the sugar
duties, M. Remusat, Minister of the Interior
assembled the tribune, and made the following
communication from the Government, which
excited the greatest enthusiasm in the Chamber
The Minister said that he had the satisfaction to
inform the Chamber that his Majesty had d.
rected the Prince de Joinyille to proceed to the
Island of St. Helena, marked attention, for the
purpose OF bringing back to France the mortal
remains of the Emperor Napoleon. Cries of
"bravo! bravo"l AT last France win possess
the ashes of one who conferred so much glory
on the country. Bravo! Our ally, England,
has shown her desire on this occasion, to blot
out the last traces Of luminosity if any still ex-
listed between the two countries, they would be
eternally buried in the tomb of Napoleon APP
probation. The permission of England had
been applied for, and the answer of her Britain
mic Majestys Government did honor to both ma
tons, as it in the most noble manner acceded
to the proposal, and stated that England had no
| longer any objection to the removal of the ashes
of Napoleon from st. Helena, and their being
deposited in France. Applause The frigate
employed for this sacred mission would bring
back the ashes of Napoleon to the mouth Of the
Seine, whence they would be conveyed by an
other vessel TO Paris, and placed for short in
terval at the Invaldes. A grand ceremony and
procession would take place on that occasion Ma
| poleon was the legitimate Sovereign OF France
and il was therefore just that his remains should
be received with all due honors. Appreciation. I
His sword would be placed on the monument to
be erected in tina: glorious and quiet ASYLUM
of his companions in arms. Bravol The
Minister then read the project of law for an ex-
traordnary credit of l,000,00Of TO defray the ex-
penses OF the translation Of the ashes of the
Emperor, and the ceremony and construction of
a tomb upon their arrival in France.
M. Hernaux proposed that the Chamber should
vote forthwith (by acclamation) the credit above
demanded; and although it appeared TO be the
general wish of the Chamber the President OBJ
jected, as such course would be contrary to the
standing regulations.
The above communication was received with
burst of applause and was followed by the
capping of hands and other demonstrations of
intense satisfaction.
The Sugar Bill was thrown into the shade.
the most part of the deputies having Quilted
their seats, and were engaged in shaking hands
and congrauating each other upon this JOYOUS
announcement; it was more than half an hour
before the Chamber could be prevailed on to re-
sumo the order of the day, even with the din of
private conversation.
The Constitutional and Courier Francois an
nounces that Generals Bertrand and Gourgaud
and Count Las Casas are to accompany the
Prince de Joinvlle to st. Helena. General Petit
of whom Napoleon took so affecting leave at
Fontanbleau in 1914, will likewise proceed on
that pious mission.

ONE TURN OF THE BALL!

The gathering Ball stiH rolls and gathers
as IL rolls We have letters from our Cumber-
land correspondent, this morning, BY the West
ern mail, that the Wings of Allegheny gained
an immense victory on "Wednesday, in the
Frostburgh District The election was for a
Commissioner OF the county, to supply vacan-
cy occasioned BY the resignation Of Loco-foco,
who was elected last fall by large majority.
Frostburg is on the highest peak Of the old
Alleghanies, and il was from this point that the
great ball'' started on its way to join in the
grand national procession. The Commissioner
to be elected would decide the majority in the
board, and give to one party or the other the APP
pointment of all the officers of the county. The
struggle, IN consequence, was Unprecedented
and the vote polled, a large and full one The
result was the election of the Wing candidate
by majority of Is votes being a gain since
last year, of nearly 200 votes!
This indicates that the Harrison majority in
old Allegheny next fall will be overwhelming.
Well have the hardy mountainecrs of old Frost
burg sustained the distinction they gained on
the glorious 4th of May and the beacon fire
which they have lighted on the highest peak of
their native hills, will shed its light throughout
the land. Truly have they fulfilled the motto Of
the ball

The procession formed about II o'clock, and
with music and banners proceeded to the beau
