How Elections ars Conducted I'm

correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Bordeaux, France, gives
the following description Of how elect.
ions are conducted in that country,
."'rhe process is perfectly simple and
neat. Electors walk into the Marie
as men go Oh chance, and, at the gate,
the friends of the candidate or his agents
offer plain white paper, with the can.
didate's name. In the hall where the
votes are taken the mayor and his bus
reau, without any civil or military guard,
sit with the ballot.box before them,
The elector offers his numbered elec>
tors ticket, the mayor tears off a corner
of it. calls out the registered number,
(Which is then crossed off by his scores
taries,) takes from the elector the white
voting paper folded, and drops in into
the urn. In this way long files in queue
pass oil in one even stream, and the
process goes on with immense rapidity,
The law forbids the presiding officer to
take outwardly; no arm forces ia per>
mitted in the voting hall; the ballots
box has double key, and must be
opened Immediately upon the close OF
the poll Electors have the right to DO
present without any interruption from
the moment the box is first locked up,
after examination, until the final count
ing out of all the voting papers in il,
and, in pratice, the whole process goes on
under the eyes of the public, The only
possible Justification of the process, even
in very benighted districts, involves D
plain breach of law under the eyes of
electors and, since the new chamber
will in any case have republican majs
GRITTY, which will be the sole Judge of all
disputed elections, and every elector
has an absolute right of objection, if the
voting is anywhere improperly mans
euvred, it can only be in places where
there is not single republican elector
who has the spirit to enter protest"

with the rosebud iu a drawer, where II
remained for eight or niue months.
When the drawer was overhauled and
the letters again brought to light, the
rosebud was discovered to be petri'

The Popes. why They change Their
Names.

The Boston journal says Ii Is a fact
generally known that monks and nuns,
on assuming their vows, and popes, on
ascending the pontifical throne, usually
change their names. The reason OF
this change in the. case of the popes Is
a superstitious belief that unless this is
done the new pontiff will not live long,
The custom has prevailed Since 1t was
inaugurated III $50 by 0ctayian Cont,
who assumed the name aud titleof John
XII. Julius Medici would have made
d breach had he been permitted, but his
friends prevailed upon HIM to take the
name of Clement, he being the seventh
pope to beer that name. Thirty>two
years later, in 1865, Marcellus Servius
was elected and insisted upon retaining
his own name. As Marcellus l., there.
fore, he assembled the throne on the 9th
Of April. He was young man and In
robust health, and yet he lived but
twenty>one days after his elevation.
Since that time no pope has ventured to
offend against the tradition. 1t > lit
tie singular that while the name John
has been favorite one, no less than
twenty-five popes having chosen itnone
have chosen IL since the death OF John
XXI, in l4l6. The first pope bearing
the name of Plus took the position in
l42. and the name did not reappear
after his death till 146S. The original
name of Pious TX, the present pope,
was Giovanni Maria Mastai- Ferretii.

JAPANESE STRATEGY.
A nrave Ll,,lo Dana and u. Ta,s..

Tho Japan Mail quotes from a native
paper. the Akebono Shimbun, the fol.
lowing account of the ruse by which tho
castle OF Mivako-o-no 10 was captured
by the imperialiats.
1T appears that the castle was so
strongly defended that the imperial
forces at first despaired OF ever being
able TO carry II by assault However
two young lieutenants, named respect
ivoly Okomuro and Ono, put their
heads togather In order to devise acme
means Of surprising the enomy's
stronghold, being fully alive 10 the
fact that, should the Imperial forces
DO compelled to invest this castle
for heightened period, It would
seriously interfere with the suppression
of the rebellion. The two young men
then secretly induced eighty privates to
join them in their enterprise, and with>
out the knowledge of their superious,
made n deiour by night, and approached
the castle from the direction opposite
TO where the imperialists were posted.
On nearing the rebel sentries this little
band was challenged, whereupon one of
the leaders called out in loud voice,
Men, here is q castle held by tho impos
rialists, Let us make desperate at.
tack on it and endeavor TO take it, so
that we may be rewarded by our CONS
mander Kirino.' This being overheard
by the rebels, orders was given TO admit
the band to the castle, as they were sup
posed to be insurgents from another
part of the country, and their presence
looked on as u welcome reinforcement.
An entry once obtained, an attack was
made on the duped rebels, and 10 much
uproar and confusion ensued that tho
din was heard by the imperilists in the
town, who, supposing the rebels to have
fallen out among themselves, FASTENED
to seize the opportunity of attacking the
castle in force, and eventually were sue
cessiul in carrying it by assault. After
the imperialists had obtained full pos.
session of the castle they discovered
how much they owed to the fearlessness
and bravely of small body OF their
own men, of whom, alas but few surs
vived to give an account Of the success
of their forlorn hope. Among those OF
them, too, who lost their lives were the
two intrepid young leaders.

The pressure Is tremendous on the
senatorial question, and the impress
sion prevails that should the question
be forced early next week, the result
will be the seating OF Butler from
South Carolina and Kellogg from
Louisiana.

OF Florida, will vote throughout for
the seating of Butler from South Caro-.
lima, and, as at present advised, Will
vote ,,,2,- seating Kellogg.
Ex-Governor Packard, 81 Louisiana,
had lunch with the president this af'
ternoon, and spent two hours with
him In conversation about the situa-
ton.
Mr.. Conover's friends say OF him
that his action In these cases Is en-
tirely of his own yolition, and must
not be construed that he is going over
To the democrats. They claim for him
that he has maintained consistent
record, and will be firm, notwithstand
ing the pressure brought to bear upon
him, and while repu blican, he has
the honesty and courage to do that
which his own Judgment dictates IL

entitled TO bis seat, is duly elected, and
will therefore vote for him, as persist
