THE French elections for members
of the Corps Le0iSLatif, will take place
on Sunday, May 26!h. Although the
opposition to the Government is much
more violent now than il was at the
previous election in 1868. yet it is be-
lIeved that the friends OF Louis Napo-
leon will be chosen in every part of
France, except in Paris and in seine of
the large cities. 1t is asserted that the
Government candidates, besides being
vigorously supported by the mayors
and projects, obtain many votes by
their promises to secure lavish ex-
penditure of the public money in works

BRAEDRETkA'S PILLS w. BLEEDISG
Bleeding may give ease, because the blood
lett has mere room ; but the ease does not
last. and is followed by premature weak
ness.
BRANDRETES PILLS relieve the circu-
lation and give ease more surely and almost
us quickly as bleeding; but Brandreth's Pills
never hurt, and the good they do Is perma.
nent, because they take only what the body
and blood are better without Purgation
with these pills will be found
a Universal Curative Principle.
Let the wise examine its claims to their
con hdence. Mrs. Hooker, OF Barnstable
mass, was cured by them OF ST. NItus' S

AFAITHFI;L PUBLIC MAN.

Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island, has attracted
the attention of the whole country, by bis recent
out-spoken rebuke of the corruption and incompe'
tency now so prevalent. Mr.. Sprague is beyond
suspicion as to his 'loyalty,' the only touchstone
of merit now recognized. At the beginning Of
the late war he equipped and sent into the U. s.
army, at his own expense, regiment of infantry
and battery of artillery. In his speech on the
24th of March, when taunted on his desertion, sc
called, by some whom his remarks made sore he
stopped their mouths by the assertion, which they
could not dispute, sin means [ have contributed
more than any member of this body, and in char
acter quite as much, to the success of the Repub
lican party. In point of means think my contri
buttons in that direction would offset the contri
buttons of all the other members of the Senate. y
He now, however, rises above prejudice and
breaks the shackles of party, by publicly declaring
himself disappointed in the results of that success
and the unusual spectacle of modern public mar
who is not afraid to speak his honest opinion
when adverse to his pary's interests has gained
him applause from all parts Of the country. Speak
ing Of the misgovernment of Congress, Mr. S. said
"What position do we occupy to-day? Is there
peace at the South? Is there spirit of harmoni
GUS influence here in this Senate to ward those peo
ple2 Is there government among those people
Do their occupations prosper? Are they not in

THE ENLISTMENT STORY.

Among our Scraps and Facts this week, is an
article from the Charleston Necs, giving an account
of alleged enlistments of negroes for the militia,
in Abbeville county. The attention Of Gov. Scott
having been called to the matter by MIR. George
W. Williams, of Charleston, he replied to that
gentleman in long letter, in which, he says that
while at the proper time he will organize the mill.
tia he has done nothing in the matter. If, there
fore, any such enlistments have been made any
where in the State they are null and void, and the
negroes so enlisted are the dupes Of designing
parties, who will probably come to grief The gist
of the Governor letter is contained in the follow
ing paragraph:
| have given no orders for the Immediate form
alton of company of negro State troops" No
orders have been issued for the enrolment of the
militia under the recent Act of the Legislature
even the Adiutant.G General Office has not yet been
opened and before any organization Of the militia
into companies or regiments can be attempted, an
enrolment of all the citizens of the State, white
and colored, subject to militia duty, must first be
completed; which, in itself, will require consider
able time. am led to believe, however, from a
letter recently received from Mr. GuAin, of Able
vile, that the Adiutant and Inspector General,
now absent from the State, promised him the po-
sition Of enrolling officer for that county, when the
enrolment is ordered. This may have given rise
to the rumors of enlistments and excitement in that
neighborhood, spoken ofby the -Ne,cs and Of which
I know nothing, except what l gather from its
fulminations. In reply to Mr.. Gufin, who is
native of fAbbeville, and as respectable and patri
otc as any in the county, directed him, if any OF
the colored people had supposed they were to be
immediately enrolled, to disabuse them OF that no,
ton; direct them to return to their homes and
labors and remain there until the enrolment is
ordered, when they will be duly notifd.

THE TENURE.OF.OFFICE ACT.

As public attention has been attracted by the
long debates in Congress on this subject, many
would doubtless like to know what the tenure Of
Office, or, as the Irishman in the West called it,
the ten-year-ofice bill, is. The history Of the
struggle is briefly this:
While Mr.. johnson was President, Congress,
in order to prevent him from removing their ad-
herents and his opponents from Office, passed a
law which entitled offce-holders to keep their Of
fees, in spite of the President orders for their
removal, unless the Senate confirmed such orders.
Under the protection Of this law, Mr. Stanton
de6ed Mr. johnson successfully, when the latter
wished to remove him from the Office of Secretary
of War;
When Gen. Grant became President, he found
this law very much in his way, in the matter Of
dividing the spois among his numerous hungry
adherents. He very soon called for repeal Of the
act. The House was both ready and anxious tc
crafty him in this particular, they having nothing
to lose by it. But the Senate had tasted the
pleasure contained in the ofice-giving power, anc
was 10th to give it up. The House repealed the
act; the Senate refused, but made amendments
which effected no material change. The House
refused to concur, and made amendments of it:
own. This bandying of the act between the two
branches of Congress was continued nearly 6
month, and was only ended last week by the Ia
bors of committee of conference, as is related il
another place.
| As the matter is finally settled, Gen. Grant anc
the House have gained the victory. The act is sc
char ged as virtually to repeal it. The Senate
have, however, managed to insert partial recog
milton of their right to confirm the removal. The
first section declares the right of every person
holding Office to retain it during the time for which
he was appointed, unless sooner removed by and
with the consent of the Senate, Or by the appoint
ment with the like consent, Of successor in biz
place, except as hereinafter prortded
| That last clause constitutes the surrender. Pro
visions are made afterwards, by which the consent
of the Senate is rendered an unnecessary part O.
the title to Office The second section enables the
President to remove officials, and that finally; to-
there is no provision for their restoration to Office
as there formerly was. Such removal is indeed
termed suspension; but as the suspended oficin
cannot return to his Office, it is in plain English
removal

FROM CUBA.

The complications of the United States with Gu
ban affairs are increasing. More vessels have beer
sent to the Gulf squadron, and memorial has
been presented in Congress from Z. S. citizen
claiming to have received certain injuries from the
Spanish navy in Cuban waters
As for the belligerents, both sides claim to be
gaining ground. The Spanish authorities have
followed the example of their opponents, and are
seeking to enlist negro soldiers. The Ioce dc Gu
Ja claims that the negro population favor the
Spanish rale, and repel all offers of the insurgents
On the other hand the insurgents claim to be able
to bring an army of 100000 men into the field
They are yet long way below those figures, al
though they have received considerable reinforce
ments of fllibusters.
