manner in which the "details Of French cleo

A ponce U1ncor is stationed TT tnc entrance
Of the hall Of voting, who merely inquiries
whether you are uu elector. AS u stranger,
| was invited by the mayor, with my compan-
ion, to witness what was going On. The may
or presided over the table, on which was
placed the ballot-box. Every elector had at
the door separate tickets given him, on which
were printed the names ot the candidates.
Each ticket rcsembied the others, so that when
folded it was utterly impossible to distinguish
the name of Tie person voted for. The cleo
tor presented document printed en- green
paper, containing his name, quality, place OF
abode and certificate Of registration. The
name having been called out, tho scrutinccrs,
of whom there were four, examined the elec-
toral lists and on ascertaininS that the name
was found there, the elcctor delivered histold-
ed ticket to the president. by whom it was
dropped into the box. Voting always tukes

portion the electors vote OH the second day,

room, and no one was detained a minute after
his certificate or registration was found to
