After Fourtou concladed, Gambetta
ascended the tribune. The deputies
and galleries were under the induence
Of profound emotion. His first SEN
tences were met with q storm of dis
appreciation and insult from the right.
In vain the president tried to preserve
order. Every appeal was met by scOrn
and insult. Such was the violence OF
Paul de Cassagnac that the President
demanded q vote of censure against
him. It was passed. This had no
effect in allaying the storm. Almost
every word the orator uttered was met
with bowling and imprecations from
the right, the left responding by voci-
ferrous applause. AT every hit made
by Gambetta q number OF members
would rush into the area in front of the
tribune and menace him with threats
and uplifted hands. The Lett would
also rush to the area, and at times q
collision seemed inevitable. For Ave
minutes the chamber was perfect
pandemonium, the president losing all
control over its angry elements. Dur
ing this time Gambetta, with folded
arms. stood unm0ved In the tribune.
During the remainder of his speech
there was scarcely q pretenoe Of order.
were hurled ut him from the Right,
and met by the widest applause from
the Left, and amid all this disorder
and violence, Gambetta continued his
speech unmOved. Never was the great
orator 30 terrible in invective or scath-
ing irony. His stentorian voice was
heard above all the din and clamor of
his enemies, and he compelled them to
listen to him. Concluding his speech
he was overwhelmed with congratula-
tiOns by the Left.
At one period the president arose
and tried to appease the tumult. In
terruptions were coming chiefly from
the Right. sst
"Gambetta has insulted us :" cried
De Cassagnac.
"Grevy replied, "He was defending
himself; you provoked it.D
Then Robert Mitchell rising retoit-
ed: I'M. Grevy, De Cassagnac is not
q criminal lawyer, and need not offer
the same excuse as Gambetta.U p 2
Grevy-''I call you to order.u
Several voices from the ryght--"Call
yourselves all to order yes all to
order"
Grevy became pale with passion and
addressed himself directly to De Cassa-
gnac and Mitchell said d:-"The left
has made the Interpolation. The
right defies them and they cannot be
heard. Do not force me to take more
severe measures" ~ td ---a ai' p =
The Bonapartists =" Yes, do your
worst--do your worstpi x
Grevy, however, took no further
steps, as the rules do not give him
power. Meantime he continued to de-
fend Gambetta: 'srhis gentlemvn, -
said he, "has only replied to an attack,
and he has answered as he ought to
do. De Cessagnac will withdraw what
he has said" f
The Due de Cazes ascended the tri-
bune at z o'clock to reply to Gambetta,
but the left, irritated beyond endurance
at the treatment Of the right, refused
to listen, and after vain efforts he gave
way, and the chamber adjourned until
Monday. 7H q
The spectators Of the extraordinary
sitting left the chambers with the
most painful impressions. One of the
Oldest Of European diplomats re-
marked with emphasis, "That will
end In civil war;
