Tho Count dc Chambord has written letter to NJ.
de Chesneong, of the delegation from the Right,
which recently waited on him. The Count says
misapprehensons have arisen tending to obscure
his policy, which is as clear as day. He owns the
whole truth to the country He is asked TO sacrifice
his honor. He emphaticay declares that he re-
tracts nothing curais nothing of his previous dec
larations. The claims of yesterday foreshadow
what would be exacted tomorrow. Heeannot inau.

I'VE have q great work 10 accomplish which

at stake IL the reconstruction of society aud the
energetic insurance Of law. order, and prosperity.
Especially should not fear to employ force in the
service of order and justice. Conditions and guar

turned it to the Count and wrote to him repeatedly

Count insisted on its publication verbatim.

lFRoM TIE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE
PARIS. Oct l5-The elections held last Sunday in
four departments for the choice of many deputies
TO tho Assembly deserve all the attention they are
receiving. All the Republican candidates were
chosen and by large majoIities. The deceased pre-
decessors of two of them were ROyallsts. One OF
them, Turigny, was chosen last April by majority
of LIZ. but had his election broken by the Cham
Der; tue majority against him was nearly 1900.
Another one of the four is Count de Remusat, the
Minister of NJ. Theirs, who was defeated by Barodet
last April here in Paris, and now triumphs by an
overwhelming majority composed Of Republicans Of
all schools. All the four frankly proposed them
selves as Republicans, In one Of the departments
no Other candidate offered himself In the other
three none of the socalled Conservative candidates
presented himself Royalst BOnapartist for the
as simple as ptiful reason that frank declaration
on either hand would insure hostility on the other
His only chance Of success with the various Mon
archsts and hope of support from some undecided,
tmid Republicans was in ambiguity. These four
elections were deferred to the extreme legal term Of
the period Of six months within which vacancies
must be filled. AT the time they were ordered there
were seven vacancies, andnOw there are nine OF ten
The terms of five of these near expiration that
the latest decree of convoeaton must be issued before
the end of this month. For these, of course, and
most of the rest, elections legally might, and one
would think morally ought, TO have been called
simultaneously with the four of last Sunday.
The first love of Prime Minister Due de Broglie is
representative parliamentary government, with
moral order; he has an utter detestation for need
less agitation of the Masses and so he defers appeal
to the country till the last moment, and holds to
reserve of means for frequently renewing agitation
Since the oath OF May he has been in power and
used it diligently, with all strained legal appliances
in that half of France not in state of SIEGE toera
bly, free from restraint in the other half against
republcanism and in favor Of royalty. Ii is very
generally known how republican projects, magis-
trates majors and other officers have been removed;
how republican newspapers have been suppressed,
forbidden to be sold in the street, and even to be
sent to subscribers by carriers how manifestations
of patriotic JOY at final liberation of the territory
have been checked because the of the republi-
can Liberator got honor by them; how the pub
fishing of the report of Gambettas speech brings
zoe to the newspaper in which it appears how the
colportage of Thierss letter to tine Mayor of Nancy
ia interdicted While on tbe other hand, the
