lYRoM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE IRiBoNh'i
PARIS. Sept. 2s-The numerical result OF the de-
ferred election in the Department Of Mane-etLoire
yesterday is in round numbers 10000 votes for the
Republcans against 900 for the candidate OF the
Septeandt Republicans greatly pleased, not
without reason, over their victory. Wlthh
the fortnight they have raised their vote
by 5000, and that in tradihonally monaremcn
and clerical department. What is little
less gratifying, is the fresh brlliancy OF defeat
inflicted on the Orleanist ministry OF the Mac
Mahon Government in the person OF their otnclal
candidate These sternly liberal critics OF the
imperial administration had no hesitation In apply
ing ms constantly and shamelessy only tor lack OF
courage not so vigorously, every administrative
means of pressure at their command Despite
which. acquiring but 10000 votes for their favorte
two weeks ago. they and their spokesmen have since
swallowed their own words fattered the Bonapart-
lists whom they lately abused humbly courted their
aid bv most singular self contradiction and stultli-
cation of this Minister of the interior, accepted and
becced help from all quarters with this result: Inc
candidate nOminaly of the Septennd, really OF tne
Orleanists, has gained by all sorts of immoral coail-
tions equivocations and duplicities, $4,000 more
votes than at the former election and arrived at an
essentially more shameful defeat than when he fell
on the first trial with 10000 votes.
am struck with this paragraph in the Onip@s OF
Esd September, which falls under my eye:
But NJ Bruas will undergo the 9th defeat not
less humiliating than that Of the 13h 1t VIII not De
the fault of the Administration. BY this official candi-
daure the first since the fal OF the Empire, IL mas re-
sumed all the practices OF the Empire.
The one political moral taught by the Maine-et-
Loire experiment is ever the same that adorns the
tale of all French history since 1870 Shall there be
a Republic or an Empire7 To the plain teaching OF
this election the fairly intelligent, highly cultivated
and more highly self-conceted Orleanist proteges OF
the Empire in MacMahons Cabinet, are as imper-
yious as adamant France has entered on heated
term of electoral agitation. 1t is needlessy and ex-
cessivelly heated in advance by just those doc
trinaires of the directing classes. who, with the
sham Olympian GOODNESS Of sham gods, look with
condescending mild compassion on the low popu-
lar herd, and deprecate its political agitation. No
one not in the secret of the Orleanst ministerial
gods can explain and no one In their secrets ever
attempts to explain, by virtue Of what clear plan,
snbte scheme saSacious Interior view. they ave
lately decided to eckel0nne the coming partial cleo
tions through as much time, by as many intervals
of imitation as possible. W. lie IL
