AN OLD STATESMAN RETIREs.

AN OLD STATESMAN RETlRES.
The Duke Of Argyll has announced
his retirement from public life, after
having tainted while speaking at
Glasgow. Next to Mr.. Gladstone,
he has had the longest and most
noteworthy career Of anyone now in
English parliamentary life. The
Duke succeeded to his title in lS47.
In 1852 he was in the Cabinet. His
eldest son, the Marquis of Lorne, is
married to the Queens daughter,
the Princess Louise,
The Duke will always be kindly
remembered by Americans, for he
was about the only one among the
British nobility who showed any re-
gard for the Union. He was not
only staunch throughout all our
troubles, but he has been the con-
slant friend of America and Amer
leans ever since. He was intimate
with Mr.. Motley long before Motley
dreamed OF being Minister to Eng
land, and was one OF the earliest to
greet the historian on his arrival in
London as Envoy.
France has escaped the melau-
cholo distinction OF being the first
country to fall into the hands OF the
revolutionists. Felix Faure, a mo-
derate Republican aud member of
the present Cabinet, was elected
President OF the Republic by the
National Assembly at Versailles, on
| 80 IN -
imir-Perier, resigned. He re-
ceived 430 votes on the second ballot
against 36l cast for the Radical can
didate, NJ. Brisson.
The credit for this conservative
victory is given to the handful OF
royalists remaining in parliament
They were patriotic enough to throw
their votes for Faure instead OF no.
minating q candidate of their own
There was a division OF the moder,
ate republicans between Faure and
Waldeck- Rousseau, which might
have proved fatal to their cause haC
not the royalist votes helped Faurt
J to get 244 on the FIRST ballot against
1873 for BIisson and 1874 for Waldeck
Rousseau. As soon as the result
was known Waldeck. Rousseau wrote
the following note: 81 thank IN,
. colleagues OF the Senate and Cham
&. ber for the honor done me in accord
ing me their support. l beg then
now to transfer their votes to Fell
Fsure." The second ballot was be

OMNIBUS QUIET.
, The correspondent of the Ne,

throughout the crisis has been won

: was so complete that it impresse
me it was an omnous feature of tn
. situation. The Parisians have be
. come 30 disquieted by an endles
y series OF political scandals that it
. almost true that they have lost col
. fidence in all public men of all pa
70 ties, The next step after this stag
9 reaches France is apt to be an indi
o criminate visitation of popular vel
y geance, which would not be confne
70 to the ballot box, as in Americ
J. There are more grave scandals to /
' uncovered before the exposures a.
u complete. Hence the political to

garded as a bad sign.
THE EX.PREsIDENT DENOUNCED.
