Of the Boulangists pure and simple who have been elected,
the General himself, M. Naquet his thinking man, M. Laguerre his trumpeter, and M. Deroulede his Tyrta3us, are the most important ; but the General himself will not, it is said, be allowed to sit. The Revising Committee of the Seine have invalidated his election for Montmartre, on the ground that he is under sentence for treasonable practices, a plea which he can only get rid of by returning. If he returns, he will be arrested and tried again by the High Court, and this time the sentence would be a reality. He will, therefore, not return, and the idea of the party is to propose Revision, in the hope that eighty Republicans who promised it to their constituents, will support the proposal in the Chamber. That scheme will fail, for the eighty will declare the vote inopportune, and many of the Monarchists, to show their disgust with Botilangism, and their reluctance to follow the author of the Divorce Law, will abstain. It is more probable that a portion of the Right will follow the Moderates in supporting a new Ministry pledged to Economy, Protection, and a truce with the Catholic Church.
