To the Editor of The National Era:
The relative position of parties has not changed
since my last. The same disunion reigns in the
ranks of the Reaction. Legitimists rail at the
Orleanists ana iovnaparnsls, VINO return the
treatment with interest The Presidents papers
attack the Assembly and the Legislative power,
while the papers in the interest of the Assembly
majority find no terms too harsh for the Presi-
dent and his advisers One portion of the Goa
lition refused to vote for M. Foy, and the other
denounces the attempt to substitute the name of
M. Leclerc as {" base intrgues" To put an end
to the depression, the Electoral Union or Central
Committee has ordered preparatory election in
their party.
The Socialists preserve their pacific tone, and
do not quarrel among themselves. They are all
united on the candidature Of M. Eugene Sue,
whose dramatic efforts against the Jesuits have
recently been the object of the violence of the
Government agents at Rouen. The objection to
the venerable Dupont tde rEure was, that he
had approved the sanguinary and violent proceed
ings of General Cavaignac. If M. Leclerc, the
hero of June who, after one of his sons was shot
in an attack on the barbados, went home and
brought out the second, who continued fighting
by his side to the end Of the instruction should
be nominated by the Coalition, the result is very
doubtful. All the passions of 1s4s will be re-
vived.
The news from abroad is, that the Pope entered
Rome on the 10th, and, to use the official language
of the announcement, to the joy of the whole pop
ulation.
The people of Paris were stunned yesterday
by the announcement of terrible accident at
Anglers The eleventh battalion of light infan-
try were crossing the suspension bridge, when the
chains on one side gave way, and four hundred
were precipitated into the river loaded with arms
and baggage. About two hundred persisted.
On the 18th, M. Baroche asked an appropria-
tion of 900 francs for the celebration of the
4th Of May, the anniversary of the meeting of
of the Republic We shall have then another
illumination, one Of those splendid fetes which
only Paris and Constantinople can offer.
On the Goth of March, the jury of the Court
of Assizes found Patres, and other Legitimsts,
guilty of holding secret meetings not authorized
by the law. The Court condemned them to i'm
prisonment for periods varying from six to thirty
days. On the 18th of April, the same jury found
Buoignier, and Hizay, two Republicans, guilty of
the same offence The Court condemned Buoig-
nier, who is now candidate for the Assembly in
the Department of the Saone a Loire, to one years
imprisonment, 500 francs fine, and five years.
loss of all civil rights, and Hzay, who is not so
dangerous, to six months imprisonment, 100
francs fine, and loss of civil rights for two
years. 1t was proved on the trial that the rules
of this society had been deposited with the proper
civil officer, but the Court decided that this was
not equivalent to an authorization. M Buognier
was member Of the Constituent Assembly, and
was one of those elected last month by majority

lie is now disposed of fairly for the present.
The French Judiciary understand how to dispose
OF the foes Of the Government
M. Theirs has declared himself at last openly
for the Republic. After great deal of frettiDg
plunging, and running, like steed unwilling to
be bridled, he bows bis head and takes the hated
bit into his mouth. At late meeting of the
Legislative caucus Of the majority, he said there
we're but three classes of measures which would
insure the safety of France first, the most ener-
getic measures; second, measures Of a secondary
character third, an unreserved and honest aid
given to the establishment Of the Republic
Energetic measures! Who will take the
responsibility Of them7 No one. Secondary
measures A certain number of these were pro-
posed after the 10th Of March but their ineffi.
