PARIS, Nov 4, 1879.
| The Bonapartists are naturally much pleased
with the result of the Senatorial election in the
Charentc and the Pays, after remarking that
Marshal CanrObert has been nominated by an
overwhelming majority, adds that the electors
are even more to be congratulated than the
marshal on this result 1t asks if the place OF
a man like Marshal Canrobert is not marked
out by right IN the Upper House. Who is
more worthy to sit in 1t than the great soldier
of Africa, the Crlmea and Metz Where are
finer titles to be found than the siege Of Sc.
bastopol and the splendid defense of st, Pr-
vat the tomb of the Prussian guardg The Re.
pubticd{R National predicts that the new Sena-
tor will vote regularly with the rcactlonary
coalition, but without bringing it anything
but faithful voice and tolerably discreet ut.
tachment He will speak on military ques-
tons with facility ana competence rather than
with much authority. He will be heard with
the Difference to which he is entitled; but he
is not considered very Jealous partisan OF re-
forms, the necessity Of which is admitted. 1t
is true continues the Ndtionai, that the retire.
ment OF NJ. de acMahon renders NJ. Canro
bert the only marshal of France who remains
en- rue. But the political career Of NJ Theirs
successor, is calculated to discourage those re-
dictionaries who battered themselves that they
would find IN a bdtoa the equivalent for a
sceptre.
Under the thin disguise OF the Met d Ordre
the NaySeHidise is continuing its attacks upon
the existing regime, 1t hopes today that when
it reasscmbes, the Chamber of Deputies will
not present the miserable spectacle Of Re
publican House accepting depotism in Judge
menls and inquiry in DEGREES at shall not
be said that because NJ. de Brogle has changed
his name and calls and himself lie Rover the
reaction is to reappear under a Republican
mask aud, under this disguise, to work at its
ease at the demolition of the Republic. Some
one will have the courage to remove the mask,
to throw it to the winds, and to lay bare the
facts, What "A temptation for an orator. Vic
tory Is not dilicult-detense impossible, Com
pare the words Of the Ministers of the Rcpub
he with those of the Ministers of the Empire
they are different. Compare their dccds-thcy
are alike, nay, worse" The Not d Ordrs must
be of Irish extraction. "lf you Rcpublcans,'
cXclaims the new journal, accept all this, PEG.
pie will end by believing that they have the
the Republic, and will certainly think that, il
there is no other difference between the En-.
pre- and the Republic than Gambctta taking
the place of Morny and LeRoycr that of Rou-
her, 1t Is not worth while to have republic"
NJ Jules Ferry, Minister of Public Instruc-
ton has Just written letter to the Vice Rec
tor of the Academy of Paris on the subject OF
school.masicrs' libraries He recommends that
one or two standard books in every language
on teaching should be carefully selected and
translated into French as "a guide TO those who
are entrusted with the education OF youth. \
committee would be appointed to make the re
quisite choice and draw up report. Those,
says NJ Jules Ferry, who are best acquainted
with foreign instruction will, doubtless, not be
the last to retain and appropriate ali the de
sirable innovations that they may have met
with but they will certainly be the first TO I'M
dersiand that progress does not consist in
blind imitation, and that the French methods
brought to a rational perfection are only those
which are quite adapted to French schools
