1HE FRENCH ELECTIONS. second trial
in Paris. resulting in the choice of all three
OF the Republican candidates, furnishes the
evidence 1t any was wanting after the first
trial, that the real sentiment of Paris Is
against the ruling dynasty, that the submis
sion to the Emperor is an enforced one, in
the capital, where trade is ready to make the
greatest sacrifices for quiet Considering the
large number Of votes directly dependent up
on The government, the immense indirect in
Huence which it can exert, the restrictions
upon the press, and upon all the modes of
Influencing or concentrating public opinion,
the result shows that great majority of the
people are against the Empire. This fact
VIII give new hopes to the republicans all
over France. 1t may be of no immediate
consequence, but i. is of immense future sig
nitlcance. Thousands are watching the OBJ
portunlty, and some day we shall hear that
the barricades are across the streets Of Paris.
and that there is a crown the less in Europe'

BODY Found ON MOUNT WASHINGTON, A
correspondent at Gorham, N. H., sends us the
particulars respecting the discovery, on Mount
Washington, last Sunday, of the remains of
the elderly gentleman who was lost last Au.
gust, on the ridge. His name was Mr.. Chand.
Ter, and he lived in Wilmington, Delaware.--
He left the Alpine House for the Glen the
trst week of August, and started from the
Glen to walk to Mount Washington late in
the afternoon. A party from the Glen
House, with a guide, intending to stay all
night on the mountain, passed him on the
ridge, since which time nothing has been
heard of him until Sunday morning. His
remains when found not more than forty rods
from the summit of Mount Washington, and
only stones throw from the point where
Lizzie Bourne found her death. The coat was
battoned around the body; the bone of one
leg was preserved the feet and hands were
gone. His watch and money were safe 1t
is very singular that the corpse should not
have been seen before. Our correspondent
says -" must have passed very close to it
in my rambles over the Cone, ten days ago."
The night when Mr.. Chandler was lost was
not very cold one, SO that he must have died
from other causes than freezing or starvation.
The mountains are receiving sad consecra-
ton every year, as graves and tombstones.-

MAN DROWNED. During the passage of the
steamer Connecticut between Allyn's Point and
New York City, on Saturday night last, an un.
known man, about thirty five years of age, jump
ed from the fre.room window into the water be-
low, and was drowned.
The man was, apparently, suffering from de-
lirium tremens, or temporary insanity from some
other cause, as he had been noisy and trouble
some from the moment of his embarkation. Fan
cying the officers of the boat to be police officers
he had repeatedly made offensive demonstrations
against them, defying them "to take him, &c.,
and protesting that if his wife was dead, he
didn't Kill her," &c. From the fact that he wore
Grape upon his hat, it is probable that his wife
some relative had recently deceased but his
declarations concerning the cause of her death
were supposed to be mere rawlings.
Upon ascertaining that the man was over.
board, Capt. Wilcox instantly stopped the boat
and used every effort, by lowering his boats, &C.,
to recover him, but without effect, as he did not,
during the hour thus bestowed, rise to the sur
face, and was probably fatally struck by the pad
die wheel. The officers Of the vessel deserve
much credit for the active humanity displayed by
them during their prolonged but useless exer-
