Two elections to the French Assembly came off on Sunday.
In one, for the Department of the Seine-et-Oise, the Republican candidate, M. Valentin, a rather pronounced Radical, was returned by 55,359 votes against 41,077 given to the Bonapartist Duo de Padoue, and 4,062 to the Comte de Keratry, who fought for his own hand. The Duke obtained fewer votes than he received at the last election. In the Cotes du Nord a moderate Legitimist has been returned, by 41,900 votes against 37,510 given to a Republican, and 33,934 obtained by the Duc de Feltre, the boldest Bonapartist who has yet appeased. -He made his appeal solely on the ground of his sympathy with the heir of Napoleon III. He has since retired, declining to face the second ballot, rendered necessary by the absence of a clear majority. The voting in the Seine-et-Oise is the more noteworthy, because the electors were thoroughly aware of all that is going on in the National Assembly, Versailles being within the Depart- ment.
