Ghostly Voters in Chamber.

When, as occasionally happens even
under republican government, there
is debate in the Chamber on SUBJ
ject which is not of popular interest
a curious phenomena occurs. There
will be six or eight Deputies in the
Chamber, and on looking over the
Journal Officiel it will be found that
$50 votes have been recorded.
This does not mean that astral
bodies have appeared and dropped
their voting pellets in the urns, but
that the few Deputies present had
voted for the absent members Of
their party. A motion has been set
afoot to put a stop to this abuse, for
it has given cause for SO many dis
putes for the last thirty years that
of the Chamber think that
it is time that no vote shall be valid
unless Deputy is there to vote him
