PARIS, November 27.-The chamber

This action suspends Fourton's right of

the state Of siege and press laws, is to
the effect that during a propagation of
both chambers the president may pro-
claim a state of siege, but the chambers
will meet on their own authority, within

be proclaimed 10 the event of a foreign

senne of auRonntinn.

DR.. Austin Flint, jr., of New York,
has recently demonstrated by expert.
ments which scarcely leave room for a
doubt, that the sense Of sutfocation which
gives rise to violent respiratory efforts, is
occasioned by a deficiency of oxygen in
the blood conveyed to the medulla oh.
longata. The respiratory efforts are due
TO reflex nervous action, thus occasioned.
Previous to these experiments it was
open to question whether the general
effect on the system Of the deficiency Of
oxygen might not be the exciting cause
OF the efforts; that view is no longer ten
able. The theory that the presence Of
an excess Of eArbonic a~nhydride in the
blood ocessioued IN irritation Of the
nerves and hence brought about the res.
piratory movements, had been attacked
by other experimenters and must now be
regarded as disproved.

Judge Irving halSey, CHAIRMAN OF the
county Democratic aud conservative
executive committee, has issused a call
upon the committee to meet at No. II
MoHroe street at 10 o'clock Thursday
morning the 29th inst, to consider the
propriety Of nominating = candidate to
fill the vacancy in the Legislature, caused
by the resignation Of Hon. 7. c. Lowe.
There is no party or party politics in,
volved in this race, as the only question
to be considered By the legislature at the
extra session, which couyenes on the 9th
prox, is oue of business upon which the
Democratic party is not united nor
likely 10 be soon. The proposed action
of the committee as we understand it is
merely to arbitrate the claims Of gentle
men who as mutual friends and Of the
same general political views do not eare
10 enter into an active canvass against
each other or against any one for the
short-lived if not doubtful honor Of at
tending an extra session Of the legisls-
ture, which, according to our view at
least, was called unnecessarily, and will
put the people to considerable expense
for nothing. We only hope that whoever
may be chosen and elected will properly
and fearlessly represent the prevalent
sentiment of this section and labor
10 be useful as the representative Of all
the people rather than to be prominent
as the exponent Of individuality, faction
or party. As Ec have often said, this is
not 8 party question, but one that con-
Germs every taxpayer, every laborer
and every child ia the State. Its con
sidsration should be approached only
with a spirit Of fairness, Of tolerance for
the views OF others and a knowledge OF
the history Of the debt and Of the csps-
bililies Of the whole people to stand
the increase Of taxation necessary to be
made under any settlement likely 10 be
proposed. Tie governors call limits
the action Of the legislature to a single
proposition. If accepted this can be
done in FIVE days; If not, the legislature
should adjourn sine die at once without
putting the people to the further ex.
psnse Of $500 per Gay merely to indulge
il useless discussion. We have no
6oubt that several Of The members have
already prepared lo~Dg-winded speeches.
These will convince no one, aud make
no votes, bat only cost the State Of Ten
nessee about 800 az hour. The people
Of Shelby county are deeply interested
ia this question, because they have hl-
ways been heavy taxpayers without real
izing much benefit from public revenues
A scrsmble over an election like this. II
merely on account Of the supposed
emoluments or bonors Of the position
now vacant, would be BDseemly and IN
called for. But it is a healthy sign to
see the people taking an interest in the
principles involved. AspiraDts sink out
of sight except as they represent certain
views or sentiments 10 regard TO the
question.
