Tx RRPURLIC IN FRANCE.

For the first time since the Septennat was
created, an effort has been made to present
that state of disorganzation to the people OF
France as a distinct principle to be sustained
at the polls. The result is not one to
crafty President MacMahon; but it goes
far to show in what esteem the
majority of electors are disposed to
hold the political system which he
asks them to support About fortnight ago
an election was held in the Department of
Maine let Loire There were three candidates,
whose convictions were announced with Singh
lar frankness, considering the antipathy which
the Ministry has for any expressions of
opinion opposed to its own welfare. The Re-
publicans, BOnapartists, and nondescriDt sup
porters of the Septennat were thus brought in
opposition to each other. The returns failed
to show an absolute majority for any
one of the candidates, although compare
lively small number of votes was needed
to secure the success of. NJ de Maille, the Re-
publican. This point, however, was estab-
lished with sufficient clearness, that the Bona
partst had no prospect, in simple contest
with one of the other candidates, of securing
a majority. His withdrawal, when it actually
took place, was accompanied with defiant
manifestation which proved how unpleasant
but memorable was its necessity.
The new election took place on Sunday. 1t
was not purely a question of Septennat OF
Republic, but of the disorganized Septennat
with an indefinite future or an immediate
permanent government, preferably Repub-
ican. The supporters of NJ. de Maill6 were
not opponents of Marshal MacMahon as Presi-
dent, but as the representative of an unstable
system, perpetuation of disOrganized govern
ment. Their demand was for permanent
institutions, and they regarded these as most
likely to be assured by pronounced Republic.
The supporters of NJ. Bruas, the rival candidate,
simply favored a temporizing policy, which
should keep open irritating political questions
that ought to be settled. Marshal MacMahOn
during his recent tour through the North of
France was repeatedly made aware of this
desire among the best commercial and indus
trial classes for settled Government; and
his efforts to convince them that the Sep
tennat afforded proper guarantees of sta
bilty were remarkable for their vigor
The success then of the Republi-
can candidate in the Department OF
Maine -et-L Loire was gained under circum-
stances which leave no doubt of the intention
of the electors to condemn that Government
which the President so painfully insists is
a firmly established principle. This election
will undoubtedly give great encouragement to
the friends of permanent institutions and
stimulate their more thorough organization.

are wise enough to nominate Judge d. f. Thomas for
Congress they will stand very good chance 10 elect

Is United States Marshal Packard Mr.. Packard
had great share in getting the President
into the scrape of recognizing Kellogg's pre-
tensions and thus setting up the usurpation.
Packard, the Attorney-General, and Judge
Durell were in the plot together for sendlng
troops to w-Orleans in advance OF Durelis
midnight order, and causing them to seize the
State-House at two o'clock in the morning,
before that famous mandate became known
to anybody outside the Ring. Packard Tin the
person of one of his deputies) stood at the
door with the soldiers, and directed the re-
pulse of the true Legislature and the admission
of the fraudulent assemblage which Kellogg's
canvassers, without any returns before them,
declared to be elected on the evidence or
newspaper reports, estimates, and manufac-
tured affidavits. And now it turns out that
Mr.. Packard has been receiving money from
the man he conspired to thrust into the Gov
ernorship. Mr. Kellogg's check book shows
such payments as these: "March B. Packards
draft, $500. March 10, Packard's draft, sou.
March II, S. b. Packard. $500. April ., ).
"B. Packard, $500. April 30, S. b. Packard,
$1,000. April 80. Packard, $780,"
1t makes no difference whether Mr.. Packard
took these comfortable little sums for himself
or placed them where they would do most
good. In either case his usefulness to the
party must be so much impaired by the dis
closure of such transactions that we should
think even Gen. Grant might dismiss him
without pang.

rlsurpation. But like Mr.. Butler, he separates
business from official relations, Though like him
procuring business through these relations,
and takes his little retainer for using his in
fuence with the party which he serves in
confidential capacity. This is not bribery; but
when Mr.. Chandler issues party documents to
the country touching the Louisiana disturb
ances, the fact that he is in Kellogg's pay is
very confusing to the public mind. 1t is so
difficult to discriminate between the patriotic
Secretary of the National Committee and the
paid attorney of Gov. Kellogg. But we do not
observe that it has occurred to any prominent
member of the Administration party that there
could by any possibility be conflict of inter-
ests or of judgment between Chandler the at
torney, paid to saddle Kellogg and his crimes
| upon the Republican party, and Chandler the
Secretary, trusted by the aarty with very much
that concerns its prosperity and success.
With such practices growing up 80 rapidly
among the professional men in and about
Congress, it is not strange that the unprO-
fessional who have not been admitted to prac-
tce law and accept retainers should cast
about for other channels of indirection by
which to reinforce their meager salaries
When Mr.. Conkling takes retainers from great
railroad corporations in suits against the
Government, and Mr. Butler carries the prac
tice of his profession to the floor OF the
House, and Mr.. Carpenter is retained in
political causes pending at the same time in
the Supreme Court and before the Senate
why should not Mr.. Harlan receive-not
retainers, for, being clergyman, that was
not in his line-but outside assistance from
the representatives of railroad corporations
when his election to the Senate was pending
Should he reject $1,000 checks to defray the
necessary expenses" of his election simply
because he was clergyman and not
lawyer, when the lawyers in the Senate were
taking general retainers" right and left,
without any pretense of using the money
for patriotic purposesf By no means. And
with all this professional practice and outside
business going on, is it any wonder that other
men who needed money just as much should
quietly take stock in such enterprises as the
Credit Mobilier, to exc out by the honest penny
of speculation their scanty subsistencef
Plainly not If the acceptance of general re-
tainers is right and proper, why not all the

We said the line was shadowy and dir be-

whole shall we not say that under our present
practice and with the present generation of
statesmen there is no such thing as bribery
