of divine authority The late President
Carnot was an upright man in public as

the funeral orations commenced.
Premier Dupuy, during his remarks, said:
President Carnot gave his life for his

honor. AT the moment he already could
see before him the hour of repose, for he
had not the slightest idea of soliciting re-

Carnot had the highest conception of the
Office OF President of the Republic. de

magistrate, and, more especially, for the
man of peace, to the maintenance OF which
