The second ballot for the Pas de Calais came off
on Sunday, and ended in the election of the Bonapartist, M. Delisse- Engrand, He received 18,000 votes more than before, the Legitimists, whose candidate had retired, having. apparently- voted for him to a man, in order to keep out the Republican. This vote is the more remarkable; as the Legitimist chiefs are believed to have advised abstention- and the Ultramontanes cer- tainly did. M. Brasme, the Republican candidate, also obtained 12,000 more votes, and the party quqte them as proof that the people who do not vote until pressed are with the Republic. The whole affair, however, only displays the-well-understood truth that in France there are only two ;serious partl'es, and that the Government, which this time swerved „towards the Bonapartist, can in many places secure the victory to either.
