Went to tuo cemetery to pay a tribute to the memory
or GodefYold Cavalgnae and Pandin. but be did not

He had frouirht with biin two "immortelle" crowns,
?Jid aft-r laying one on the toub of Cavalgnae
he went In quest of Hamlin's, but he could not
hud It. so he returned to Caiaignuc s. which
thus had the benefit of the two crowns.
(Laughter.) 1 had not requested M. Qiieutm
to go to the cemetery to ni.ue a speech In his
capacity as editor of the Aetwtt. 1 had aske I
huu to go there professionally and see what was
going ou, in order to give a correct account of what
might take place in the paper; I really don't see
why I should he held responsible because a nunitier
of young fellows asked M. ouentin to say a lew
words over Haudiu's gtave.
President?In the article published In the fle-vC I

President? According to the prosecution tnese
facts constitute "manoeuvres" calculated to excite
the haired and contempt of the government and
disturb the public peace. Answer? Which, by the
way. was not disturbed.
President?Will you trust to what yonr counsel
may urge in your behalf ? Answer?Ves; hut 1 menu
to address the Court, too. if I think fit.
The President then put questions to Gaillard, Sr.
An extract of the examinat on is worth giving, as a
specimen of the way In whicu they manage these
things In France.
President?Gaillard, have yon ever been con
demned ? Answer?Never M. le President.
President?un the 2d of November you went to the
Cemetery of Montmartre v Answer?Yes; 1 went
there with my son.
President?Did you not wear a red cach'twz (com
forter) ? Answer?M<tn o eu, I wore the same
each n z that I am wearing now; I used II, us I am
using it to-duy, in lieu of a cravat; 1 did not incau
auvihmgby it.
President?It has been noted that though the
weather was not cold both you and your son wore
comforters. However, I understand you to say that
you had ?0 design in doing so. l)ad you any family
nioilves tjyjy io tlyj e^li^ier^ Auatfer.?I have
PieshlAiit?Did ydn riot go to the cemetery in con

^Lengthened my determination to go there; I go
every year witn my sou to lav a crown ol immor
Mien over the grave of Uodefrold t'avalguuc, whose
chanet r 1 admire.
Prcaident-cWell. when you had laid the crown on
tho graye, wny did you not go? Toff-sat down and
read a newspaper. Answer?? es, 1 read La CUtahe;
1 went as 1 told you just now to lay au offering of
flowers on the grave ol? Cavalgnae; 1 waited because
1 knew some friends were coming for the same pur
pose; 1 was seated and reading very quietiv when
some people came up to me aud asked where rau
dio's grave was; as I knew wbere It was 1 really
knew no reason why I enou dn't tell them.
To out the mailer short Halliard admitted that he
went to Haadin's grave, aud seeing a lot oi people

Gaillard. Jr., said he only meant by these lines to
express his oplniou of the riglnus which Haudiu died I
ill opposing.
M. tjuentln was asked why he made a speech over
Ftaudln's grave. He explained that alter looking out i
for it and not finding it he sod suddenly come upon i
it. A number of young lellows came up to lilui to
ask him to say a few words. The lollowlng neat
little scene of fence then took placet
President?What were the words you nttered?
Answer?1 beg, A. le Presllent, to remark tiiut I
am a defendant; you bring me here to answer for
a speech 1 made; you must know what that speech
was.
President?It Is to be fonnd In the Gauloia. An
swer?Is the Gaiilol* ihe prosecutor?
President?No; but as itie words nave been printed
and you did not contradict them, I presume you ad
mit their correctness? Answer?I really have notu
ing to do wttu that. I said nothing In anv way repre
Uensible, but 1 really do not (eel called upon to stffci
ply the prosecution with proofs. The prosecution
has no substance; It Is founded on nothing. 1 ou
prosecute me for having made a speech, aud you
want me to tell you what that speech was. Lay
It before me and then J will tell you if the report is
correct.
M. Peyroutoh was put through a long Interroga
tory to Induce him fo admit that lie had made a
speech In which the words "uiay Haudiu's d;e be au
example to us on the day of the fight" occurred.
Hut he refused to admit having aald anything oi the
kind.
M. Peyrat, the editor of the Avenlr National, was
next Interrogated.
1 resident?Defendant Peyrat, you have Incurred
condemnations before this? Answer?Yes; for press
offences.
President?Yon published In the Aivnfr of the 4th
the letter written to you by M. Delescluze ? Answer?
1 did.
President?Yon added some remarks of your own
and fou opeuM asnbecripUon for Baudin? Answer?
Quite ?*>.,_
president?That Is what yon are charged with.
The prosecution views In those facts a previous con
cert, a premeditated ui.dcrstand.ng. Auswcr?A
few words of exp.auatlou may not be unneces-ary;
on ?he ;id Inst., on arriving at the office. 1 learned
tea. several friends contemplated erecting a mo iu
niont to Haud.n. whose grave had been discovered
ou the previous day in tho Mom uiai tro Cemetery.
I thougnt the idea was a very good ouc; I thought It
would produce au excellent euect, and that our
li ends would be g od to subscribe; 1 t.uui diut ly
open d a subscrlp.loii; ti.eie was no m..n<riivre
about the thing at all; It was, you see, f.cnectiy
epontane us.
Presid ut?Well, but that very fact of making an
appjal in the Atvuir National? Answer ? i here
was tio appeal to nuke a manilcstation, as the sub
script on came after tho id oi .November.
President?Man it I see all 1 say Is koenty
watched; 1 am sharply tnkon up at every instant; I
am not prosecuting you; I aui merely telling you
wnaivou are c >arg' l w ith, not giving you my owu
opinions. I repeat, that the prosecution relies on
those articles wnidi you contend arc meie.y meant
to honor Haudiu's memory, aud whicu 1 call an ap
peal.
Mmllar questions were pnt to M. Chaltemcl La
eour of the Keen* Owing to tlicabsen e
of tils counsel. M. Jules Havre, M. Dure;, of the
Tribune, elected to be tried by default.
Several imdcemen deposed that tne speeches over
Band n s grave were followed by cries of "I'ire
la ttettnbiufue." Uneoi the poiic.-tneu created great
Indignation In court by talk ng of the grave oi tue
"Sieur hand in'' and the ".-dear Cavaiguao." An
other cou>d not reinetnbcr what he hud heard, but
pulled a paper out of his pocket to refresh his mem
ory.
M. Le Chevalier, a member of the Paris bar. de
posed that Queiiim only made a speeru with the
greatest reluctance and that ilallliard everted bi n
sod so strenuous y to keep tue peop.e quiet tuui
several ol them <h jUtcd l.ial h j was a .a ? u/t ir L
Advocate General Aulois iheu ad Iressed the Court
for the ptoseruimn. He laid it down It was u regu
larly organi/.ed p.au to attack the very prl.ic.ple of
the goverument under the pretence of doing honor
to Hamlin s memory. He developed that tueme at
enormous length.
The couns i lor tha defendnn's then addressed the
Court and were e.\cersive.y bitter. M. cremieux,
who spoke tor M. Quciiiln. had no difficulty in snow
Ihg up the absurdity of the pros ruilou ol' his e icut
for a speeeu of which tin i'rocurcur Imperial couiu
not produce either the text or the substance.
4. Km lanucl Arago did not pit-ad tor ms clients,
but conuned hluisoll to carrying war into tlie enemy s
camp?he diew a parallel lietween .M. ue Morny aud
M. Iiuiidin, aud ca..eu ou tue Court to "shudder at
the coutrast."
The most idling speech -was that, or M. Gamlietta.
He stated that li was very evident that the present
government was founded on the hi of December,
and asked why It did not celebrate as a JPt* day that
of Its birth' He would tell itiem tue reason why.
They were ashamed of it, and the friends of liberty
kept the aunuersurv as thai of a day of mouruiug,
lu the hope oi a brighter future.
liie Couit then adjourned to deliberate, and
brought in a judgment acquitting Qiicnuu un one
coun . on the grouud that ihe speech he was pro
sccuted r->r having delivered had not kmtwin
down accurate y enough to have Its o.Teusive cha
racter legady asceriained, and convicting him an I
all the others, ou the ground that tne laets tliey are
reproached with, "when they are considered
in the aggregate and not arbitrarily sepa
rated," constitute tue offence of "practis
ing manmuvres;" th.it is to say. tha' the
subscription pee * tn harmless and that tue inani
lesUtion per se was equally so. but that, taken to
gether, tliey form tne elastic offence of "practising
manoeuvres." M. Delescluze gets s x moaths' im
prisonment and S.MM. llW. Me*?rs. Peyrat, Oh a;
leniel Lacour, Quentin and Dnret (this latter by de
fault) to 2,uoui'. flAe; Messrs. Peyrouiou ami Gaillard,
Jr., to ouc month's imprtsoumeut and 1601. flne, aud
Gaillard, Sr., to 6iiuf. flue.
Now, without any hair-splitting or mincing mat
ters, I must sty tn.it il we once admit the principle
of prosecuting individuals fur their "intentions,"
tnere can be no doubt but that the conviction ol the
defendants is perfectly Intelligible. There cannot
be the smallest doubt but that all the papers did
DC tlie BlUHIlunv uva>. ?- - ,
mean, in paying a tribute to Haudlu, to show
what their opiuton of the government was.
Hut how the government was weak and
Ill-advised enough to rnn the risk of
having the speeches or Cre nlenx, Arago and
Gauioetta hurled at its head, copied into every paper
In the country, and read with all the eagei ness wn.ch
the fromleut spirit of the times imparts to such
spicy mon-ela, really passes comprehension, the
< n.i, irtioii of >1. Iieiesciu/.e and the otuer uefend
snts is very poor compensation for the errtfic in
dictment launched against It by some of the keenest
Intellects and bitterest tongues at tne Paris bar. It
w as a fearful mistake to institute this prosecution,
and the conaequeuces of it have yet to he developed.

SPAIN.

The crisis 111 Spain litis yet to come; and It nifty be

crisis Is almost frightful on the condition of the
mass of the people. The wuole population is

While such is the unsettled state of things
throughout the country, discoid reigns among the
chiefs of the revolution. Each is jealous ol tt'C
others. And lroni a dread of losing his popularity
not one ol the leaders ventures to name aud ad
vocate an occupant (at present there are no candi
dates) fur the vacant tluone. It is alleged t .at Gen
eral Prim, unquestionably the foremost of the re
volutionary chiefs, Becretly aspires to t e throne

really entertained) is hopelesi, all .e from the natural
jealousy of the other chicis and ir mi the fact that
there is no great party In inc nation that would sup

As a necessary consequence of this state of affairs
republicanism gains ground. The advocates for tue
abolition of royalty and the eatablisuuieut of a
republic grow bolder every day. Yet this Is simply
the consequence of the present deadlock of affairs.
Every one who knows Spain knows that of all
the possible solutions of the present crta.s the
establishment of a republic is the most
impossible. We do not venture to say
that a republic n ay not be tried; for in revolutions
the "party of action," the vloi.-nt und extreme men.

which they have 110 real claim, and which is over
thrown as soon as the national sentlmen s, the de

CITY POLITICS.
The Charter Election?The Cww?e*t for the
Mayoralty and Corporation Couaael?The
Vacancy la the Office of Dlotrlct Attorney
aud in the Hapreme Court?The Applicauto
for Appointment?The Aldermaale Content?
The Candidate* for School Comuiiaalonera
and Truntrea.
The clntrter election, which comes off on Tuesday
nest, hao had considerable additional interest and
excitement given to it front the fact that the Mayor
alty Is vacant and the people are called upon to elect
a Chief Magistrate lor one year?the unexpired term
of the retiring incumbent.
TUB MAYORALTY.
The contest lu this regard, however, will lie
tame In comparison with the Mayoralty
contests of past years. The Tammany chieis
in the late election struggle# have so perfectly
and thoroughly disciplined their vast forces, and have
them under auch obedience and control throngh the
host of ortlcc-aeekers aud subalterns In the pay of
the chiefs that to contest a city otllce of such high
trust and power av that of Muvor may be deemed an
entirely futile ail'&ir. The efforts made by the Demo
cratic Union party to nomiuate a citizen from the
democratic ranks that eoul I command any consid
erable aiuouut or democrailc votes and at the same
time be acceptable to the republican party having
ended In failure, that organization may from hence
forth lie deemed defunct as to any claim its present
leaders may put forth for consideration as a political
power in the city. There Ib but cue democ
racy and Tammany Is its prophet. The re
publican party, that they rn ght not be charged
with surrenTerinlfTKo mTmiolpgj power of the city
Into the hnnd9 of their formidable opponents with
out a struggle, have nominated a candidate for
Mayor. Whether they m gnt not have chosen better
were tha chances of success better is hardly worth i
commenting on. Any man was good enough to be |
put in the ring to be knocked down, and certainly
lis victim in this case has taken upon himself the
sacrtlicial lata with commendable coolness and
plack.
Tammany selected Its standard bearer from the
highest order of sachems that minister in the
Temple of the Salut-one who ahvayB stood
nearest to the high priest thereof, and to
which high dignity he Is about to be trans
lated, At any timo the present cardtdate
of Tammany would be a formidable opponent, and
under him hts brother Sachems might enter the lists
against much greater forces than can be broughtto
c uiront them at tins Juncture, the party, tlKrt>
lore, acted wisely in nominating A. Oakey Hall as
their tUndard bearer at tills time. FUturfe resu ts.

TUB REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.
The republican party have put in nomination as
their candidate tor Mayor Air. A- Uonklltig.
for.iici ?y u prominent merchant In tlilrf city amila
leading mcmtier ol the Chamber of Commerce. He
was a member of Assembly trora this city, serving
In the Legislature two or three terms. He subse
quently served one term tn Con toss. It was aitcr a
1 .rig caucus and a more than usually noisy discus
sion-owing to the d.ssensious that exist in the re
puolTcan ranks?that the choice fell upon Mr. couk

cate I in caucus: but in every Instance the
parties named for the proposed honor, when
miii .ed thereof, at once dec.lned to accept.
Under the circuiustauccs the only wonder la that the
republicans nave succeeded so well tn a choice, and
that they have induced Mr. Conkllng to accept the

There are three vacancies to be filled In the Alder

There is but little opposition to tue regular Tammany
caod.dates.
ASSISTANT ALDERMEN.
Tiie contest that reigned for a time throughout all
the Aldrriuanic districts for the nomination by local
organizations has almost died our, and only Hie nom
inees of the T itular organizations in each district

admitted that the best men mat could have Ihjcii se

many democracy have received the nomination of
the regu.ar Tammany Ahlermantc nominating con

elected. Had there been two democratic candidates
running for Mayor the result wounl be differen . for
then tu inany of the districts where candidates
first appeared the contest would nave been
maintained at little expense to those ambitious
for assistant aldcrmanlc honors. Hut as it is those
opposing the regular nominations will have to go
into the contest at their own expense?to prml
tickets, pay distributors, put up boxes and Incur all
the cost of running the election machine?a rather
costly matter; and therefore, as we have said, in
almost every caae the regular nominee will tie lert in
undisputed possession of the field.
