M. Gambetta has returned to Paris from
Cahors, where he has been received with
ROYAL honours. and has made a series OF
speeches, which, as we have pointed out
elsewhere, are distinctly Conservative. lie

nobody will seek to NEEDLE with it. He
especially defended the Senate as q posi-
bio refuge of Republicanism. 1t is con-
ceivable that there is insincerity in these
speeches, though that is not our impression
of them; but on Tuesday NJ. Olemenceau
pushed his proposal for a revision of the
Constitution 10 O division. His avoWed
object was 10 abolish the Senate, which he
considered q mere device for enabling the
minority TO prevail over the majority. and
he was supported by the whole Extremist
party. Nevertheless he was defeated by 254

was opposed by NJ. Gambetta, though he,
as President OF the Chamber, and also as
representative of Belleville, did not vote.
Indeed, this came out in the speeches. for

Some excitement has been caused this
week upon Change, by O. telegram stating
that the Indian Gold Mines Company.
of Glasgow, the Company so many of
whose shares belonged to the CITY of
Glasgow Bank, has been crushing quartz
with an outturn of 4 OF. to the ton. That
is a very large outturn, and thouph
there is no proof that it il not accid entail.
or That the reefs are generally rich. the
tlo shares were sold at R65, and the
shares OF many other Indian gold com.
panies rose so per cent. Should exna-
renee confirm tue impression now afoat,
a gold.mining mania may be expected.
as India is full of gOldyielding localities.
and the Government is strong enough TO
protect the miners. There must be very
rich reefs i'll Assam, where a class Of
natives live by washing out the grains
accidentally drifted down by the rivers.
We must, however, remind our readers
that while accidental fortunes have been,
made, goli-mining on the large scale has
never paid we'll, that the expense of
European supervision in India is very
heavy: and that success on one property
is not the slightest guarantee for success
on another. 1t is said, we know not how
truly, but the story is quite possible. that
n reason of the persistence of the
Glasgow men in this speculation was a
conviction that Ophir was in South India.
and that there was consequently a "Scrip.
ture warranty" for the existence of gold
there.

One of the great Indian industries is
threatened by science, Professor Roscoe
states, in a lecture to the Royal Institu-
ton. that artificial indigo has at last been
made from an acid which is one of the
cOal-tar products. A Baden company
now makes it, and can sell a paste yield
ing twenty-five per cent. of true indigo
blue at IS. a pound. The dye can be
more readily used than indigo, and with
less waste and less loss of time. but it
costs at present nearly double the price
of the vegetable indigo. Should Herr
Baeyer, however, the discOverer OF the
process, be able gradually to cheaper the
manufacture till the cost Of the new dye
approaches that of the old indigo, the
cultivation must cease. That will not
be a loss to the natives, who will seldom
grow the plant, except when demanded
as part of rent but it will be a loss to the
Europeans in India, and diminish the
number of cultures possible in the wet
lands of Bengal. Perhaps the planters,
in despair, may yet find out the secret of
the green indigo, for which Mr.. Fortune
searched so long, and which may yet be
found in Cashmere,

ripped open the abdomen, i~nficting a
wound so terrible that the doctor was
unwilling 10 expose NJ. Seguin to the
useless torture of treatment. He was,
however, sewn up, but died in an hour.
The assassin was Immediately tried, and
sentenced to death; but unless the French

 The Washington correspondent of the Boston Adperttser reports that most curious and extraordinary condition of affairs con- nected with the electoral count Wednesday was shown by the inspection of the various tally-shee After the announcement of the vote these sheets were taken to the office of the secretary of the Senate, where the clerks began to compare them. It was at once dis covered that the tally sheets of Senators Hamlin and Thurman and one of tue House tellers were full of errors, in several instan- ces Garfield States being given to Hancock and Hancock States to Garfield, and while the footings were right as declared. by the Vice President, they were by no means cor rect footings of the columns of figures as entered. For instance, on one tally sheet Florida, Nevada and New Jersey were given to Garfield on another Louisiana was omit ted entirely; on another Vermont was given to Hancock; one showed simple zero in- stead of ten as the vote of North Carolina for English as Vice President. One contained no record of the vote of Vice President of either party from Georgia and one State was recorded as giving its electoral vote for Re- publican President and Democratic Vice President. Such tumble probably never before came from any set of tellers since the foundation of the republic. The trouble which might arise from such errors as these are readily seen. After the adjournment of it together, and no revisionary authority could be exercised to correct the tally list, and while the declaration by the Vice Presi- dent might be accepted as the constitutional result, the fact that it was in opposition to the real showing of the tally-sheets might prove under some circumstances very en- barrassing matter.

A curious experiment has been tried in Germany for some months past with success. It is the importation of live hogs from the United States at the port of Bremerhaven, from whence they are shipped to Hanover, finding ready market at Brunswick, Magde- burg, Cassel, and other North German cities. Last June decree was issued forbidding the importation of American chopped pork and sausages into Germany, presumably on tri- chinatous grounds, and some in genious butchers hit upon this meth cd of evading the act, which said nothing about live hogs. It was at first thought that so many hogs would die upon the voyage as to make the experiment rather unremunerative, loss of 5 per cent. being the lowest that was thought probable. Fx- perience has proved, however, that the loss is under 24 per cent, which gave such an impetus to the undertaking that company has been formed for the purpose of building large lairs for the arrivals at Bremerhaven, which is to be the hog depot of Germany, the animals being killed there and dispatched into the interior by rail. The American hog has more fat substance and less meat than his German relative, and a suggestion has been made to import number of German pigs into America for breeding purposes.
