FRANCE AND EGYPT.

The French press, or at least the Paris
press, is said to be very much exercised
about the English supremacy in Egypt.
But The French press ought to have sense
enough to understand that when their
Government determined on the annexation
of Tunis it relipquished all claim to a
share in the control of Egypt The diff
ference between Tunis and Egypt moreover
is radical. France had no justification for
the Tunis expedition, which was conceived
in fraud and executed in iniquity. But
England was compelled to interfere in the
Egyptian business, and up TO this moment
she has given no Indication of purpose
to overstep the declared limits of her in
Prevention. She has saved Egypt from
anarchy, and she has undertaken to put
the country in a fair way to manage its
own affairs. But France, having in def.
anee of all laws seized Tunis, exhibits an
unprecedented impudence in complaining
of the English attitude in Egypt, and
above all, in demanding to be admitted to
her former partnership in the Egyptian
contest. Let her be content With her
evilly-acquired possession of Tunis. With
the control of Egypt she can have no more
to do henceforth.

THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.

Returns from the State election held
yesterday came in very slowly last night,
owing partly to the length of and number
of the tickets. The indications point to a
probable majority in the interior for Stone
man and the Democratic ticket. In San
Francisco the count Will not be completed
for two days probably. The total vote
cast in that city was some $500 below that
OF 1880, and returns from twenty precincts
received at l o'clock this morning show
Stoneman to have received two votes for
Estee's ore SO far. In Sacramento county
it is indicated that Stoneman will have a
small majority, and that the Democratic
legislative ticket, with perhaps one excep.
ton, is elected. Several members of the
Republican county ticket, and possibly
Grove L. johnson on the legislative ticket,
are elected. The incomplete state of the
returns, however, both locally and through.
put the State, render it impossible to do
more than form a vague estimate as to the
results at present.
