Tho Election in France.


Franco held her election on Sunday
last; she always does her voting on Sun
day. The Baltimore Sun thus sums up
tho result
The great political contest in France, which
was precipitated in May last by the dismissal
Of the cabinet under Jules Simon, and az
gravated by the dissolution Of the Chamber
of Deputies during the excitement to which
that event gave rise, is ended. As anticipat-
ed the result is d republican victory, and the
Marshal President, who had taken so deter
mined position against the republicans, is
forced to recognize the fact that the will OF
France is arrayed againsthim. The majority
Of the republicans, It is true, has been re.
duced, but it must be remembered that the
government resorted to means for the defeat
Of the popular will whose parallel may fifty
be found in the history OF the Southern States
in this country during the reign of the bayo'
net and the detective. Officials were remoy.
ed from office, public men were prosecuted,
newspapers suppressed, and every obstacle
that Jealousy could devise and persecution
suggest was thrown in the way Of free ex'
preston Of the will Of the majority. Under
these disadvantages the republicans fought
almost against destiny, for it was the object
and the desire Of the Marshal President, with
all the power in his control, constitutionally
or uneonstitutionally exercised, to utterly de-
stroy their party organization and place the
control Of the nation in the hands OF the so.
called conservative element, consisting of
royalists and Bonapartists. The result OF
this election, therefore, indicates q determi-
nation on the part Of France to have done
with royalty and imperialism, a determination
which only violence and usurpation, too often
the fate Of France, can thwart. The last
Chamber of Deputies contained 1863 republi-
cans and lT0 conservatives. The result OF
Sundays election indicates the success OF
about 1926 republicans, and, eonceding con-
tests, POS conservatives. There is nothing in
this reduction of the republican majority to
impair the morals Of their triumph. A closer
result might naturally have discouraged them
and encouraged the President and his coun-
sellers to continue their course Of hostility
and persecution. As it is, there is nothing to
dishearten the republicans, though the con-
servatives will no doubt assume an advantage
by which to extort concessions, with another
dissolution as the alternative. The success
Of the conservatives would have plunged
France into a crisis Of conflicting agltations,
whose outgrowth might have been but another
succession of coups d etat for the Prince I'm
perial, for royalty, for the commune and for
the feeble republic again. The success of the
republicans, If wisely used, may now give the
republic permanent footing and place it
with the foremost nations Of the earth in pro-
gress, liberty andithe arts Of peace.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

TINS FAIR.-The past week has been one
Of unusual activity, the occasion being the
holding Of the State and Carroll County Ag-
ricultural Fairs, on the grounds Of the latter
in this city. The entries, in every depart.
ment, were very large, and in the house, cat
tie and swine classes some Of the finest speei-
mems ever seen were ON exhibition. The
machinery, carriage, grain and vegetable
departments attracted much attention, our own
manufacturers and agents occupying the great
or portion of the ground set aside for that
purpose. The household department was
filled with the handiwork Of our ladies, and
the building was thronged with persons who
were admiring the great skill eyineed. Fruit,
butter, bread, flowers, &c., received unusual
attention. The weather was all that could be
desired, and the attendancev Every
one was loud IN the praise of our grounds and
the very superior accommodations furnished.
We give the premiums awarded in the several
classes, up to the hour of going TO press on
Friday, the word best being understood ;

The New York Sun demands that the
army shall be reduced to ten thousand
men. Legislation in that direction would
far better accord with the public interest
than to increase the army from its present
number of $4,000, to $4,000. Every sol.
der costs the treasury one thousand dol.
lars per annum, and an army of 10000
men would cost the round sum of $780,
