County Commissioners this fall. Let no
man vote for any person for Commissioner
unless the candidate be one whose personal
character gives assurance that he will not

higher than that to qualify him, or to justify
any person voting for him. No man who
seeks the Office should be nominated, or, if
nominated, elected. The entire income of
Commissioner should not exceed $3.50 year,

No other kind of man should be elected, and

other Of clergy and those Influenced by
them,-we might realize, perhaps, more
fully than we do at present, the
| enormous power of the French Executive in
popular elections. The most important OF
the auxiliary forces is that led by the Church.
The clericals are contending not merely for
political theory, but for religious idea;
they find Justification in the promptings Of

| they mistake for moral sense. They con-
| troll large majority OF the women OF
France and through them Ill the men who

masters are the creatures of the priests the
ofliceholders support the Marshal because it
is their habit always to kiss the hand that
clothes and feeds them and the army wor
ships him not only rs its legal head but rs
the hero of Magenta. Nor are these the
only sources of strength possessed by the
Government. The name of NAPOLEON is still q
tower of strength in France; it is surrounded
with the glamour OF that romance which will
always attach to Austerlitz and Marengo,
and it is remembered even for the sake Of
the unfortunate man who died broken
hearted at Chise1hurst. The Third NApo-
LEON, it is true, overwhelmed his country in
disgrace and ruin, but he had previously
raised it to an uuexamp1ed pitch Of prosperi-
ty. The money-power, always conservative
in its tendencies, is also on the side of Mac
MAuoN. It sees the debt Of France already
swelled to $4,400, ,0oo, 900, or double that of
the United States and it trusts the Marshal,
because lie alone, Of all Frenchn,en, seems to
have the power to enforce peace. Every
little capitalist the country through thinks
On his rentes, and prays that the Marshal
may be successful.
The rccapitulation of advantages possessed
by the Republicans is briefer. They have
nothing to depend upon but the justice OF
their cause +; and Justice, we well know, does
not always prevail in popular elections. But
behind the ballot there is another remedy
for wrong which no friend of humanity can
desire to use under ordinary circumstances.
The Republicans hold Paris, and Paris too
often holds the country. If there should be
an uprising in Paris, the Marshal might find |
himself powcrless, in spite of popular YER

that the election OF majority OF Govern |

1t is impossible at the present writing to
| predict with any degree Of precision what
will be the result Of the elections in France
to-day. Both parties make large claims, and
neither has yet established its superiority III
! anything more convincing than words. The
advantages of perfect organization and an
abundance Of tue sinews Of war are with the
Government; while the Republicans are
strong in righteous causc The last few
days have cleared away some misunderstend-
ings. It is no longer possible to donbt-if,
indeed, any Intelligent student of French
politics ever did doubt--what tue Govern
ernment is striving for. Tho Marshal has
nominated as representatives OF his views 131
Legitimists, So Or1eanists, and POS Bonapart-
lists. This apportioumcnt leaves unprovided
for only twenty ACCOMPLISHMENTS, which are
in and around Paris; these haye been aban-
doned to the Republicans by COM
mon consent. The proponderance Of Bo-
napartists in the official lists is an
important fact. The Marshal asks France
to return Chamber, two-thirls Of which
shall be committed to the Empire. There
is no wisdom in saying that an approval of
the Imperial idea in Government does not
involve necessarily the restoration of the
Napoeonic dynasty. The Marshal would
understand the election of d majority of
Bounpartists to the Chamber to be nm authori-
zation of his plan for bringing back the young
Prince Imperial. He could hardly intcrpret
the election in my other manner. From the
day on which IN Assembly thus constituted
should meet, President MAcAIAuoS would be
the ricegerent Of the BoSApARrE family, He
would be permitted, out of consideration for
his distinguished services, to remain in office
until the expiration Of the Septennate in
1850, bnt his principal employment would be
tile preparation of throne for his Imperial
master.
In estimating the relative strength of par-
ties in France it is well to remember that
possession is nine points of Government in

THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION,
K Days Session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. @.
The electoral commission, alter taking a
recess OF half an hour, remained in secret
session until nearly eight o'clock this even
Ing, when they adjourned to meet again for
private conference at ten tomorrow. No
votes were taken to-day, nor was any con-
clusion reached OF any point at issue, but
1t was agreed that all pending questions In
regard to the admission of evidence should
be decided tomorrow. 1t can be stated
hat according to present Indications the
majority Of the commission will decide that
in addition to the electoral certificates, no
evidence can be received by the commits
sion in regard TO the Florida case except
such as relates 10 the Florida state govern
ment subsequent to the presidential cleo
ton. Conceding this to be the determine
ton Of the commission their inquiries in
regard to matters of fact will be restricted
to a narrow range, aud thus a final decision
in the Florida case may be expected sooner
than has been generally anticipated. Evil
dence concerning the action Of the Florida
courts and legislature on the matter is of a
documentary character, and Is already nc
cessible to the commission. 1t is probable,
therefore, that the final decision will be re-
ported to the joint session of the two
houses before the close of the present week.
