pire- This opposition, which six years ago
had scarcely skeleton organization beyond the
chief centres OF population. Is now an act We
and strong political party in almost every de l..
partment: and appears TO have cast more than
One-third OF all the votes. and, among the most
powerful and intelligen; constituencies, such as
PARIS. Lyons. ana Marseiiles, has uuifor nly
defeated the candidates OF the Government In
Paris /; has cast four-fifths Of all the votes
Ns3o'eons utmost exertions having ayaIled to
- = the polls but few more than those de-
pendent on his favor.
The number Of deputies elected by the op-
position Is twenty -six-only three more than
IN the Chamber Just dissolved But majority
is required to eject; and in fifty-nine .scircum.
scrIptions" no candidate has obtained ms ior-
i'y. In each OF these there was but one Gsy-
ernrent candidate: The opposition was divided
so that the Government has been defeated in
eighty-nve divisions; and If the OPPOSITION
should unite IN the supplementary elections, as
they are striving 70 do, they will have four
times As many delegates as ever before
The progress Of the opposition in Paris is
startling The number OF electors since 1852
having increased 5000. the Government has
lost 17,0oO votes In Paris, and the opposition
has gained l2i,oOc. At the present IN moment the
Government, Including its funcnonarie., its
sergeants and Its gendarmes, possesses scarcely
a fourth OF the votes in Paris.
