TOURS,
The Temporary Capital of France.

Officially, Tours may now be called the capital
of France. The Provisional Government is
represented by NJ Cremieux, M. Glais Bizoin,
and NJ. Fourichon; and also by the personnel
of the Minister of the Interior and the Minister
of War. The Prefecture, the Palace of Justice,
and the Archeveche are all given up to the
several departments OF the State. The presence
of sentries at the doors of these buildings denote
the height of official promotion to which the
war has suddenly lifted pretty, aud petty pro-
vincial town. Archbishop Guibert has given up the
greater part of his palace to the service of the
State; and, as the official residence of NJ. Gre
mieux, Minister of Justice and Keeper of the
Seals, the stately old house may be accounted
the political centre of France. A correspondent
of an English paper says that the palace is one
of those buildings which sprang up throughout
France in the days of Louis Quatorze. Long in
sweep of front, irregular in outline, hanked
with round towers, surmounted by the steep,
lofty roof of days that knew not Haussmaan,
and surrounded by stately trees, the Archie
veche points to time before the Revolu-
tion when the prelates of France we're verta-
BILE princes. The entrance hail. the stairs
proportions. A few portraits of bishops a bust
of the Pope, and such scanty furniture as may
be needed by the attendants and the visitors,
still make the lofty chambers look habitable;
but otherwise they have been stripped bare, and
they have that air of desolation which seems in
separable from public office. Monseigneur
Guibert's palace Is separated from the cathedral
of Tours orhy by the breadth of the streets
and throughout the day Its side chapels
or its grand choir and nave are the
scene of special worship. Even in the brief
intervals of duty, however, M. .Cremieux
can hardly be expected to join the suppliant
throng; for just as the Archbishop of Tours is
one of the chief prelates of France, so the
Minister of Justice is one of her most ilustrious
Hebrews; and pleasing comments have been
made on the fact that a Jewish statesman should
thus be the guide of Christian bishop. Those
EDglishmen who are at once Catholics and SYM
pathizers with France may be comforted by the
fact that the archbishop has issued form of
fervent prayer for victory, in which the armies
of France are placed ander the special guar
dianship of the Virgin and st. Martin of Tours
The recital of the prayers closes the daily exer-
cises at the tomb of st. Martin, and it is accom-
panied by an indulgence of forty days.

THE ELECTIONS.
The Result In the Different States.

INC Result IN tne Dtuereut SGAte9s
The returns from the States which held cleo
tions on Tuesday are not yet sufficiently COM
plete to give the definite result.
In Pennsylvania, the delegation, from pre-
sent appearances, will stand-14 Republic
cans to 10 Democrats, but there will proha-
bly, be several changes. John H. oliver Rep.) }
is probably elected In the Sixth district, and
L. d. Shoemaker (Rep.) in the Twelfth; these
two Republican gains being compensated for by
the election of Henry D. Foster (Dem.) in the
Twenty. first district, and William McClelland
Oem.) in the Twenty-fourth. The Sixteenth
district (Cessnas), however, is still in some
doubt
In Ohio, General Schenck is defeated by
Lewis ID. Campbell, in the Third district, and
the Republicans have also probably lost the
Fourth and Sixteedth districts But they gain
the First and Ninth, and the net loss is one
member only, the new delegation standing 13
to 6. The Republican State ticket is undoubt-
edly elected.
In Indiana, the vote is very close, but Repub-
lican by a small majority. The Fourth and Sc
venth districts are probably lost to the Repub-
lcans, making the new delegation stand Re-
publicans to Democrats.
In Iowa the Republican majority will be not
less than $4,000, and may probably reach
10000, all the Congressman being elected by
from 5000 to 5000 maj ority.
In Nebraska the entire Republican ticket is
elected by from 1000 to 3000

The deceased complained greatly of neural
gia on Wednesday last, but on Saturday seemed
in perfect health and spirits. He went to the
fair with the Andrews family, and after return
ing retired to his room. He was never seen
again alive. On Sunday evening the proprietor
Of the hotel, Mr.. d. Q. Siegrist, inquired of the
book-keeper where Cochrane was, and remarked
that he had not seen him about for q day or
two. The book-keeper replied that the doctors
door was locked, and he thought he must be in
his room.
Mr.. Siegrist then ascended the stairs and
burst open the door. The doctor was found
lying on the floor near open window, and
quite dead. On the mantel-shelf was found
bottle containing the prussic acid The Coroner
was notified, and at o'clock yesterday morning
held an inquest on the remains.
The testimony of number of witnesses was
heard.
Thomas Irwin testiAed-1 am clerk at Leitch's
drug store, the deceased came in about the 30th
of September and asked for prescription blank,
which he filled up; then put up the prescrip-
ton; he came in again on the 4th of October,
and l filled for him a prescription of two
drachms of diluted prussic acid and two ounces
of water; half q teaspoonful of the mixture is a
dose, and three times that quantity will KILL the
deceased was a physician, and knew what the
prescription contained; the first one he brought
was for morphine in the form of salve; he
also got six belladonna pills.
The jury being unable to determine whether
the deceased had poisoned himself accidentally
or committed suicide, returned verdict that
he died FROM an overdose of prussic acid.

A FORCED MARCH.
How Ten Thousand Men Escaped.

Bouillon letter eays:-
A French officer who is staying here on ac-
count of the very severe wounds he received at
the battle of Sedan, has just sent for me to go
over and see him where he is lodging He has
shown me letter from his brother an artillery
officer whose regiment formed one of the unfor-
tunate army under MacMahon that surrendered
on the I'd of this month. The letter is dated
from Paris on Wednesday last, the 14th and the
writer informs his brother that ten thousand
men, with thirty pieces of cannon from the
debris OF MacMahons corps, have reached the
capital in safety.
They took eleven days to get over about q
hundred and fifty American miles. They
marched in the greatest confusion and swarmed
over the country in small parties of two and
three hundred each. But they held steadily in
view the only object of their march, which was
to reach Paris-by any means and by every
means, but to get there somehow. How they
were fed on the road seems to have been
miracle. They were not commanded, for each
man worked for himself. They were composed
of all regiments and all arms and were all
mixed together in the most extraordinary
manner. At Soissons-so the letter says,
but l think it must be a mistake, for
that place was in the hands of the Prussians on
the 5th of this month--they found thirty thou
sand rations of bread and meat. Each man took
three days rations, and off they started again.
They had several detours to make in order to
avoid the enemy. but they managed, excepting
the weak and sickly exceptions, to reach their
destination, and to reach it all about the same
time. Here and there on the road they were
Joined by men who had left different army
corps after various battles, so that their num-
bers increased rather than diminished on the
line of the march.
One artillery, four infantry, and two cavalry
generals, whose names, am sorry to say, are
not mentioned, marched with them and reached
Paris safely. The whole force got to their
destination within twenty. four hours of each
other. The writer-whose letter seems to have
been one of the last sent out of the capital
before its gates were closed-regards with no
small triumph this feat of SO many individuals,
been accomplished by any other soldiers in the
world,
