NJ. cREMIEUx,
, The provisional Minister Of Justice (deput
Tor Chinonl was formidable opponent of N
late Ministry. He exposed all it, vices and Il
weak nssses. He demanded, on the discussio
OF the game-laws Originated in the Peers,) III
suppression Of the article which exempts IN
crown lands from the severe provisions Of ths

Ties, the Upper Chamber restored the obnoxiou
clause Nj. Cremieux's parliamentary cares

The name of NJ. Crenieax can scarcely BE-
unknown 10 you. His history, also, Il associa.
ted with the most interesting struggles. He IL
was, lsraelte as he il, who defended the Profess

The correspondent of the Patriot relates one
| or two facts in illustration of NJ. Cremieux's
character:-
Your readers will learn, with pleasure, that,
three weeks ago, he attacked the late Minister
OF Justice, hebert on account Of the rigours ex-
ercised against the Baptists, in the Department
de FAisne, and claimed for them, and for all, the
right Of worshPping God according to their re-
ligions convictions. | saw his speech in my
French papers.
Another instance Of his liberality il very re-
markable. The inhabitants Of poor rural
parish had raised money enough TO purchase a
beautiful silver osfensoir,' which they present.
ed to their curate, TO be used in the church ser
vice. The curato died, and his heirs claimed
the osfensoir as part Of the succession. An
action was brought TO recover il by the villa
gers and carried from the Courts Of First In
stance and Appeal TO the Court Of Cessation.
There Cremieux defended their cause, and
was defeated. When the poor villagers applied
to him for his bill Of costs. he replied, that,
having lost their action, he would ask moth
ing: and requested them to accept another o.
teHsoir, which he had bought for them, to make
up for the one they had been deprived Of A
revolution which places such Jew at the head
of the Government. and in the ministry of JUS
lice, indicates no disposition to irreligion sad
anarchy.
N. LEDRU RoLIiN,
The provisional Minister Of the Interior, was
elected for Mans, pies the late NJ. GARNER Pa
ges His speech To the electors sub,ec ted him
to prosecution on the part Of the Government,
and the trial Of the case produced great seusa-
ton. Nj. Roliin represents the ultra Radical
interest; and has often ATTACHED not only NJ
Gnizot, but also the policy of such men a.
Theirs and Odillon Rarrot. He sets on the ex-
IRENE Left, and has defended at the tribune,
with vigor and talent, the opinions advocated
by La Reforme newspaper. Rollin is also an
advocate. md in hi. issh year. Though a man
of extremely democratic opinions. he is per-
son Of good property, and Of undoubted probity
and talent. He came on a secret mission from
the French democrats TO ireland. when that
country was in disturbed state a few years
ago.
N. cARNor,
The new Minister Of Public Instruction lin :
GLIDING the administration Of religious affairs, J
was born in 1901, and is q son Of the famous
conven,ionalist Of that name. lie is a devoted
partzan of democratic ideas, and belongs TO the
extreme Left. lie voted against the Pritchard
indemnity bill, and for NJ. Remusat's project of
Parliamentary reform. "He would" saw the
authors of Biogrsphie DIES Deputies, writing in
1910, support large and complete reform,
which would have the effect Of restoring SINGER
ity to the Government, and all their rights to the
citizens" Hippolite Carnot is one Of the men,
bers for Paris, and is now in his a. year. Tie
too was bred as an advocate, but he il now by
profession an homme des ieffres an editor of the
Revae EneyelepediQae.
One OF the members for Paris, is GO wears Of
age, and also an advocate by profession. After
youth passed in laborious struggles, he rose
| IN $3.50 TO the place occupied by the Dupins
Mauguins, and Berryers, aud has since been
considered the leading counsel for political
causes. His defence tor one of the conspira-
tors Of the PoRt des Arts was a masterpiece O.
| cleyerness.
GARNER PAGES,
The Mayor Of Paris, was also bred 10 the bar
Though rather tedious and solemn man, yet h,
is Of upright and respectable character. HI
entered the chamber in 1891. at the age Of thirty
and is still young man. He took his station a
first as the advocate Of universal suffrage, ans
has maintained his opinions amidst many storm,
debates without Ainching. "The struggle which
exists said he, in 1891 is this that all desire I,
possess those political rights which at presen
are monopolized by the bourgeoisis. All con
ceive that there is no safety (bonhexr) for then
unless they have the power of choosing thei
representatives II is just and wise that tn
safety Of all should be confined to the care o
ALL" He is not considered a man Of great in
tellect, and as speaker he is more disting ~ she
by violence than eloquence.
