Re Election 81 President Crew.

.sss 1se-T1 elton OF SPresldent N1reyE.s
;s M. Francis Jules. r. Grevy was reelected
presto tent OF the French republic, ton TIE
clint yota8of the senate and chamber OF
deputies acting as a national assembly
El Inc balloting was carried on amid great
excitement. The streets in the vicinity
wore also thronged with people. During
d'Ornans shouted that the national as
sernbly as at present constituted, was a
body OF usurpers. NJ Paul de Cassagnac
cried out that the congress was illegal, and
the presidential election a farce, as four de-
spartments OF France were not represented
at the meeting.
Francois Paul Jules Greyy was born in
August, 1913. He was educated at the col
lege Of Poliquy, and afterward studied law
at Paris. He is short in stature, has a
square, bald head, grey eyes, and firmly
closed lips. Everything about him indi-
Gates strength and decision. When a stu
dent in the latin quarter OF Paris he took
part in the revolution of 1886, and when
fighting was over returned to his studies
with the determination to make himself an
accomplished lawyer. In 1848 he was sent
to his native department OF the Jura TO
act as commissi oner-one OF the most diff
cult ofpositions owing to the fear with which
the collapse OF the throne had inspired in the
provinces. The Jura testified it's gratitude
for his able administration by returning
him to the assembly, and he was soon
elected vice president by that body. In
1851 the coup detat drove M. Grevy from
political life, and until 1868 he was occu-
pied with his professional duties. In 1869
he was reelected to the assembly, where
he proposed the plebescite started on the
part OF Napoleon. After the downfall OF
OF the latter, Grevy was elected president
OF the assembly, holding the Office for three
years, and in 1879 ysss elevated to the
presidency of the republic. He is intensely
republican, and his special anxiety has been
to maintain tranquility, security and con-
fidence.

A Singular Case in wisconsin.

Gov. Rusk Of Wisconsin,, granted full
pardon to George Wilson, formerly OF Troy,
N. y, who in 1865 was sent to state prison
Tor life for the alleged murder of John Riley,
barkeeper in j. K. Graves saloon, Mil.
waukee. Wilson served twenty years, and
was pardoned last June on condition that
he leave the state. That condition was
imposed to favor j. H. c. Cottrell, who
prosecuted Wilson, and whom the latter
had threatened to kill if he ever got a
chance. Cottrell died in Milwaukee six
months ago. Hence there was no further
necessity for the condition being main
tanned. The governor is thoroughly con-
WINGED that the murder for which Wilson
suffered twenty years of imprisonmentw was
committed by another man, who was in
volved in a row leading to it.

Anent the effort to get up a panicky
feeling over the exports Of gold to
Europe which began a short time ago,
the New York Sun says: Consider
ing that our banks and the United
States treasury are both loaded up
with millions OF useless gold, and that
the rate OF interest for money here is
lower than it is in London, the exports
Of the metal have none but the or
binary commercial significance. They
are the legitimate results OF the action
OF the Bank of England, and will cease
just as soon as that institution has
replenished its stock of bullion"

neither Salisbury nor Gladstone will

Change in Civil Service Kules.

The animated contest now going on as
to the confirmation OF the postmaster OF
Chicago has incidentally brought out the
interest ting fact that important modifica-.
tions OF the civil service rules, approved by
the president as long ago as Nov. 27, have
only just reached the civil service commits
sioners, and are yet in the hands OF the
printers, and not yet promulgated.
Among the rules thus modified are the fol-
lowing.
That the local boards OF examiners shall
in the future only certify three names to
the appointing officer, and no name can be
certified to him more than three times, ex-
cept on special request OF the appointing
Office.
Under the old rules the names were to be
certified four times, and the appointing Of
ficer was obliged to appoint forr out OF
seven names certified to him. while now he
will appoint three out OF six. This makes
it easier to get rid of persons thought not
fit to be appointed. It is further required
that two Of the persons vouching for the APP
plicant must be residents OF thecity in which
the service is to be rendered. This is de-
signed to discourage applications from
persons residing outside the place OF APP
pointment. Quite number of other in+ar.
esting changes Of detail are made.

The justices OF the supreme court are
very indignant at a widely published par
agraph which represents them to be lot
OF old topers, with barroom behind the
scenes, and man employed at government
expense to brew punches and mix
cocktails for them. Everybody who
is familiar with affairs around

who read the article will believe it, and it
will do great injury to the purest, ablest

The Late Senator Sharon Wins His Suit.
San Francisco dispatch:-United States
Circuit Judge Swayer rendered a decision
in favor OF the deceased plaintiff in the suit
OF Sharon VS.. Hill, brought to declare void
the alleged marriage contract. The action
was brought by the late William Sharon
against Sarah Althea Hill to declare null and
void the contract upon which Superior
Judge Sullivan granted the defendant a d.
vorce from the plaintiff a year ago. The
decision, after stating the evidence in the
case, which covers 1,731 pages OF legal cap
written with a typewriter refers to there
iusal OF the defendant to produce the al
legged marriage contract before the examin-
er and her committal for contempt for
this offense, and adds:
This singular conduct can only be inter-
preted as an admission that such inspec-
ton would tend to prove it's (the marriage
contract's) falsity.
The main opinion is by Judge Deadly Of
the United States district OF Oregon, and
contains $4,000 words. Judge SAWYER
files concurring opinion.

The General Assem- bly,.

The General Assembly conveues to-day
in its regular biennial session. The list
of members elect shows that both houses
will be well supplied with men OF charac-
ter and ability, to whom the people of the
| State can safely cOntide the many i'm
portant interests which require legislative
action. This General Assembly is for
tunate In containing good proportion of
| experienced legislators, who Will be able
to give direction to the public bus ness
and prevent unnecessary delays, and
who besides possess an intimate knowl-
edge Of the condition and wants of the
State and people, and have ideas carefully
conceived as to the methods Of securing
the ends desired.
Quite NUMBER OF matters of great i'm
pOrtance will come before the body for
discussion and action. The most import
ant of these, probably, Will be the con-
Wet question, for IL any material change
is TO be made in the convict system of
the State, this General Assembly ought
to take the preliminary steps towards
making it. The question will doubtless
be very thoroughly discussed. 1t is to be
hoped the discussion will not provoke
lmpatience among the people, who seem
to be overwhelmingly in favor of a
| change for the better In the matter of tn g
disposal of convicted criminals, and this
change cannot reasonably be made
without drawing literally on the time
and wisdom of the General Assembly as
we'll as on the State Treasury.
The State road question will also proba.
bly, demand great deal of attention, and
the formulation of the future policy of the
State with reference to this property will
devolve in all probability on this session,
even if that policy should not be definite.
