Meeting of the French Assembly. =
The National Assembly met to-day at Yer
sailles. President MacNahon sent a message
to the Assembly, which was received shortly
after re-openiug. The message begins with
congratulations on the liberation of the terrific
ry and the continuance of peace. He reter-
ateS the fact that he is but the executive officer
of the Assembly and has no political opinions
he says that the present form of government
lacks two essential conditions-vitality and au
thority If the rights of the government are
daily questioned. with its powers liable to be
changed at any moment, 1T can secure peace to-
day but not safety tomorrow. Great undertake
ings are impossible and industry languishes.
We are unable to restore that confidence abroad
which is necessary to the restoration of the
greatness of the nation. The government lacks
authority, for it is Unable even to obtain ODE
ulence from ltS own agents or to repreSS the eX
cesses of the journals which are corrupting the
public mind.
The Deputies of the Right warmly cheered
the message. The Right moved that the exec
utive power be conferred ON MacMahon for the
term of ten years; that he continue to main
tain the present form of government until the
constitutional bills are voted, and that COM
mittee of thirty be appointed to examine said
bills. After debate the motion of the Right
was declared urgent by a large majority.
A declaration of urgency for the motion of
M. Eschasseriaux was demanded and was sup
ported by M. Thiers and the Deputies Of the
Left but it was defeated.

ings were taken he should hand in paper, TO

over it appeared surprised and indignant

it an extraordinary document.
Judge Davis declined to point out the obJec-
tionaole portion, and said he would consult his
brethren of the bench
After recess, Judge Davis announced that he
should take no action on the untruthtul and
extraordinary paper presented by Tweed S
counsel, and ordered the case to proceed sharp
by checking Graham and Bartlett who desired
to argue the point, After examining a juror
and rejecting him and when examining the
second one, Tweed's counsel claimed that as
