How tIac tIahOn Came to be President.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Times. usually well informed in relation to
political currents in France. gives some de-
tails as to the struggle between the Duke
d AumaIe and Marshal MacMahon for the
presidency OF the French republic, from
which i. appears that tor some time the
former was the tavOrite; and there is good
reason to believe that when he entered the
Assembly tone of the earliest deputies who
arrivedi 10 take part in the Saturdays q
third sitting, it was with the full conviction
that he would leave the hall as President
of the republic. Ii this were so he was
only ,ardily informed of the attitude of the
Borapartists. who resolutely opposed the
Prince. declaring that il he were put for.
ward they would vote with the Left. which
wouid then have had a majority, Just as it
would have had if Messieurs Desseilligny,
Target. and other members of the Left
Centre had not voted agains: M. Theirs out
of dissatisfaction with their former leader
Casimir Perier, whom they considered to
have gone too far left.
When NJ. Buffet and the staff of the As.
sembly went on Saturday night to Marshal
Mac Mahon to offer him the presidency of
the republic. he was absent from home.
and had to be sent for. He had been for
some time with NJ. Theirs. The first states
man and the first soldier in France were in
clared himself indisposed to accept the
presidency should it be ,as he then may
have felt pretty sure it would be! offered
for his acceptance. He considered himself
bound in honor to refuse il. for. as he re.
minded NJ. Theirs he had repeatedly. in the
course of their frequent and friendly in.
tercOurse. volunteered the pledge that he
would never supercede him. NJ. Theirs re.
minded him. in turn. that he had never ut.
tered word which could be construed as
an acceptance of that pledge: and the Mar.
sila. may have had no difficulty in discern
ing that the outgoing President thought
hn preferable as his successor to the Or
leans prince.
In short. that conversation may be con-
sidered 70 have decided MacMahOn to ac.
cept the elevated position which a few min.
utes later was offered him. But i: turned
upon the merest trtie who should be the
new President. MacMahon. thorough
soldier. has little taste and probably no
great capacity for the duties which devolve
on him. He has already shown this by re.
questing tine Ministers. when they referred
to him as to the pcopriety of a projected
measure, to decide the matter tor them
selves. One thing which he has very posi-
lively stated to his Cabinet and also to
othe. persons, is that he vii! never be a
party to coup d'eto'. On this head he is
most decided, and he is also determined to
uphold the republic. Already some Of the
right are said to mistrust the wisdom of
having placed him in the position. The
Marshal seems resolved to content himself
with executing the measures adopted by
his Ministers. Perhaps later. when he gets
more into the current of public affairs. he
may deviate from this resolution.

Arrival of the President-Interview with
the Border Commissioners = II. Ray
Myers, of Mobile, Appointed to Cana
dian COnsulRte-OtheY Appointments
Secretary RObesen's Report On the
Polaris.
WASHINGTON, June l9-The President,
accompanied by General Babcock, arrived
here early this morning. He will return to
Long Branch by Friday nights train.
1t is not supposed there will be any for
NAL cabinet meeting in the meantime, al
though the heads of the departments will
call on him for the transaction of business
of routine character.
Among the early callers on the President
this forenoon were Messrs. RObb, Savage
and Osborne, the commissioners appointed
to inquire into the Outrages and depreda-
tions on the Rio Grande. Although the
visit was mainly one of courtesy, there was
some incidental conversation relative to the
result of the inquiry. The President ex-
pressed his satisfaction with the labors of
the commission. and remarked that he
would do all in his power to afford the re-
quired relief to those who had so severely
suffered by the raid.
1t was stated several days ago that there
would be about twenty changes in con-
sulates for the benefit of the Presidents 9
Southern political friends. Several such
changes have already been made. the latest
being the appointment Of Henry Ray Myers.
of Alabama, as consul at Hamilton, Ontario,
Canada. in place of Blake, suspended.
The President has also appointed as in.
ternal revenue collectors JoshuaAndrews for
the second district of Michigan. and Adam
Nase for the third Illinois district: also
William S, Defreo, of New Mexico. agent
for the Indians of the MaquOis Peublo
agency. vice Crothers. resigned.
Secretary RObeson has made his state.
ment from the evidence of the rescued crew
of the POlaris. He does not know whether
Captain Hall died natural death; thinks
the abandonment of part of the crew on the
ice foe was accidental. He has no doubt
that Buddington was frequently drunk, but
as the liquor was exhausted at that time
and as BuddingtOn. when sober. was a
most excellent seaman, feels sure that the
Polaris was managed to the best advantage
He will charter the "Tigress'' to go in
search of the Polaris. Cross purposes un
doubtedly existed on the Polaris.
