How THE French VoTE.-A correspondent
of the London Times, writing from Bordeaux,
France, gives the following description of
how elections are conducted in that country.
"The process is perfectly simple and neat.
Electors walk into the Marie NJ men go on
Change, and at the gate the friends of the
candidate or his agents offer plain white pa
per with the candidates name. III the hall
where the votes are taken, the Mayor and his
Bureau, without any civil or military guard,
sit with the ballot-box before them The
elector offers his numbered electors ticket,
the Mayor tears off corner of it, calls out
the registered number (Which is then crossed
off by his secretaries), takes from the elector
the white voting paper folded, and drops it
into the urn. In this way long files in queue
pass on in one even stream, and the process
goes on with immense rapidity. The law for
bids the presiding officer to take n voting pa
per open, or in any way marked outwardly
no armed force is permitted in the voting
hall the ballot-box has n double key, and
must be opened Immediately upon the close
of the poll. Electors have the right to be
present without any interruption from the
moment the box is first locked up, after ex-
animation, until the final counting out of all
the voting papers in it and in practice the
whole process goes on under the eyes of the
public. The only possible falsfcation of the
process, even in very benighted districts, in
wolves plain breach of law under the eyes of
electors and, since the new Chamber will in
any case have Republican majority, which
will be the sole judge Of all disputed elections,
and every clector has an absolute right of OBJ
lection, if the voting is anywhere Improperly
maneuvred, it can only be in places where
there il not single Republican elector who
has the spirit to enter q protest"

reason for granting the petition. The scan
dial spoken of by counsel as being rife, touch
ing the railroad management, is beyond the
cognizance and consideration of the court
The court does not volunteer action causes
but acts upon applications made by intrusted
and proper parties. When applications are
made, the court acts upon them, subject to
established modes of procedure, departure
from which will often render a judgment
void
That the existing system of managing the
property is cumbrous and expensive, does not,
nor does the plan of reorganization rs it is
called, fall within the cognizance of the court.
However we may personally regret that the
enterprise put on foot by the decree of 1864,
as it has gone on, has failed in proposed and
expected results, and that ADVERTISEMENTS are
serious, and complications are as yet unsolved
by any means that have been attempted, it
does not behoove the court, for the purpose
of making IAN end ALL of this hydra of con-
tention, bitterness, loss and litigation, to pro-
nounce as law what is not law, to adopt and

The FATE OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN's ExPEDI-
TIoN derives renewed interest from the report
of Thomas A. Barry, n returned Hudson's
bay whaler, of the sufferings and death of the
last survivor of the Erebus and Terror, OBJ
tanned from the Esquimaux, with whom he
passed last winter. The crew of the New
Bedford whaling ship A. Houghton, of which
Mr.. Barry was mate, went into winter quar-
tiers last October on the northern shore of
Hudson's bay, where they were joined by
about $50 Esquimaux The natives were full
of anecdotes of the visit to their settlement at
Cape Inglefeld of party of white men who
came among them many years ago, perishing
in single winter of cold and hunger, and
who were buried with their books, papers
and yaluables beneath heaps of stones. From
the Esquimaux's description, these men were
evidently the remnant of Franklin's expedi-
ton, whose fate and burial-place had been be
fore unknown. The natives exhibited several
relies ms proof of the accuracy of their state
ments, and Barry succeeded in obtaining from
them some spoons, one marked with Frank
Inns crest and the others with an unknown
monogram. The natives offered to pilot the
crew of the A. Houghton to the mounds but
the sailors were in no condition to make n
thousand miles journey of exploration. Mr..
Barrys story, however, has induced Morrison
x Brown, the well known New York ship
ping agents. who fitted out the Polaris, to
send an expedition next spring under Mr..
Barry's command, to discover the burial
mounds of these last of Sir John Franklin's
men, and obtain the valuable relics which are
probably preserved there. If the British gov
ernment's offer of 800, 900 for the recovery
of the records of the expedition is still open,
the firm will equip vessel at their own ex-
pense; if not, they will try to secure sub
scriptions of S15, 900, and, if that fails, they
will send a whaler, so that the expenses may
be betrayed by cruising for oil. Mr.. Barry
proposes to land on the western shore of
Hudsons bay, and reach Cape Ingleheld, 800
miles distant, by means of sleds and dogs.

ceived letter from George W. Jones, of
Tennessee, formerly member of Congress
from that State, while Judge Strong repre-
scented a Pennsylvania district In this letter
Mr. Jones said "When you and l were in
Congress together you were Democrat and
regarded as an honest man. Do you believe
that the people of Louisiana elected or voted
for the Hayes electorsY ?" To this Judge
Strong answered as follows, the letter having
Just been published by Mr.. Jones;
WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1877.
Mu Dear Sir Il was Democrat when
YOU and l were in Congress. am a Demo-
crat now. hold to all the opinions the
State rights Democrats have always held, and
which the acknowledged leaders of the party
have avowed up TO the present winter-never
more clearly than in 1873 to 1875. do not
believe that Congress had any constitutional
right TO inquire into State elections for State
electors. Congress has of late years inter-
fered quite too much with the States. The
electoral commission has no more power than
Congress has, and think it would be most
dangerous usurpation, were It to do what the
States alone have a right to do, even to cure
what fear was great wrong of the Louis
iana returning board. cannot doubt that
such will be your opinion when you reflect to
what the assertion of such power would lead.
It would place the rights of the States, re-
specting the choice of electors, at the mercy
of the federal government, and be the great
est stride ever made toward Capitalization.
Better suffer present evil than open such a
door, better than abandon all the time-hon-
ored principles of the Democratic party.
am yours, very respectfully,
w. STRONG.
