appointed Governor 0enerN or Algeria ne cnose
hartmprey as Deputy Governor and the post
suited Marttmprey well, for he was eminently
CARPET knight. courteous, diplomatic and COO. II
has been reported that Martimprey would perhaps
be replaced by General Guiod on the trial, for Mar
timprey's health Is still bad. The change would be
an unpleasant one for Bazaine, seeing that Guiod
ls hard and sharp, whereas Martimprey often met
bazaine at court. knew him, and IL is said liked
MIN. Martlmprey's narrow escape under the Conn.,
mune must also have embittered him thoroughly
against republicans.
10 sum up. then, the only two generals out OF the
seven who may be expected to declare themselves
emphatcally against BaZalne are Chabaud- Latour
ana Iripior. These, so lar as one can prOgnO8ti-
cate from their characters and known sentiments,
be relied on TO put the most favorable construction
on the Marshal,s acts 1t must not be forgotten,
moreover that according to French law In courts

convlctlon. II four were against the prisoner
and three for him he would still be acquitted. This
is called Ia mtn0rite de Jaueur.

Having the majority OF the judges, the techni-
calities OF procedure and the expediency or gov
ernment politics In his favor IL may be seen that
Admiral Byng, to whom he has been compared. But
even II all odds were opposed to him he would still
have tower OF strength In the person OF Mftre
Lachaud. the most powerful advocate at the
French bar. LachauG's voice Is like clarion. his
gestures are 1ery and forcefu. and his style OF
OF French listeners Other barristers, Duaure,
Grevy and AliOn may be more learned than he, but
none have been 30 successful In convincing Juries.
His forensic rriumphs may be numbered by hum
dreds. He has been reading up Bazane's monster
brief for more than o twelvemonth, having even
journeyed to Metz to study the fortlhcations tor
himself, and he does not conceal his sanguine
belief in being able TO vindlcate his Client
