PARIS, Thursday June ? 1883.
The report mentioned in my last leter that Govern
ment would make or accept great modification OF the
bill presented to the Legislative Chamber by the Coun
ell Of State for restoring articles SO AMI = Of the Penal
Code has proved true As finally voted the bill ia
nearly in accordance with the spirit Of the decree OF
26th February lsl- and with article Of the COnstru-
ton of the late Republic which abolished the death
penaty in political matters the exception is in of
an attempt directed against the person Of the En-
"peror" which is punished by the penalty attached 10
the crime If parrcde, che same as an attempt upon
his life Other political ofenses are punished by deport
otcnaDd confinement in fortified prison. or by tne and
ruprisopmeDt in France. IL was somewhat remarkable
that Louis Napoleon should have proposed the reestab
sbment Of penalty that after lying IN the code dead
letter throughout Louis Phllppes reign, abolished
with general approval the second day after the close OF
that regn il is remarkable enough also. that he should
within two weeks have receded from the propositions
bat the most remarkable point in the whole affair is the
DECLARATION Of Master LaguerOnnefe, tn the abolition
If the death penalty for political Oenses is the work Of
Napoen III and the Legislative Corps Unyerdleal La
Querouniere says this in his report accompanying the
snended bill in which also be reserves with sufficient
ability the argument long since accepted BY all ntel
cent Frenchmen against the political scatiOh And 30

set forth By the Republic. The world gets on slowly.
