Election Of Sue.

EleCuOn % tues
EUGENE SUE, the Socialist candidate for
Representative Of Paris in the French AS
scmbly, has been elected over Leclerc by
5000 majority.
There can be no mistake as to the sgnlt-
canoe Of this result. AT the preceding cleo
ton there were three candidates on each
side, of various shades of opinion. Many
Republicans voted for the Democratic-Social
candidates who were not themselves Social
lists, from hatred and distrust of the Reac-
tionary, monarchical tendencies represented
by the Order ticket. A number of the
Protestants classed as Evangelical voted
for one or more of the Socialists, disliking
their Socialism but confding in their devo-
ton to Liberty The Order party, though
surprised and discounted, did not admit that
the defeat was conclusive. They considered
it blow aimed at Monarchy, at the Cabi-
net at Louis Napoleon, not deliberate
verdict of Paris in favor of Socialism.
Vidal was elected also for the Lower
Rhine, and decided to sit for that Depart
ment creating a new vacancy, or leaving
one untitled, in Paris. The Socialist camp
was divided and distracted with respect to
o candidate Girardn, the powerful Editor
of La Presse,' aspired to the nomination
the 'voix du Peuple, Proudhon's paper,
ardently commended the venerable Dupont
de pEure the whole camp was in confusion.
After protracted and violent struggle, the
Nominating Committee settled upon EUGENE
SUE. He is man of faults and Of unsound
opinions; he is not a man Of political repu-
tation or family influence; his one recon-
mendation is that he is emphatically So
cialist. This gave him the nomination; this
elected him, over candidate who thorough
ly combined the Order strength, and who
is personally and Justly popular. The vote
for Susis simply the Socialist vote Of Paris;
that Of Leclerc is the vote of all the various
parties rallying under the common banner
of Order The majority of 5000 for Sue
is the emphatic verdict of Paris against the
old Social Order and in favor Of the New.
Said Sue in his Address to the Electors:
"Iam Socialist from my heart, because have

Such are the ideas which Paris has rati-
6ed and inscribed on her standards-the
very ideas which knaves and impudent char
latans have told our people were utterly dis
