The question uoder discussion was Scrutin ds ZLitle va. Scrufin d'Arrondissement, which sy be fraoly tranaiated: Biate Tickeb v, Counky Ticket. The queation was, whetho” mombers of the Natjonal Assembly shoulil be choson ona gooeral ticket for each Department (s if tho poople of Tlligols should choose all thelr Mem- bera of Congress on ona ticket), or ooe in each Arrondissement, or amall divielon of the Departmant, sa we aciually elect our Congreas- . men. It will bosecen at a glance that Serufin d'Arrondissenient s {ho mote demociatic of the tno methads ; never:balcas, it was supported bypoaily sl the Afouarollsts and Bonapartisis In the Assembly ; while Scrutin de Liste was ad- wyoosted and voted for by Republicans of all stripes, Including Thiers, Gawbatta. and Louis Blanc. The reason for this ia, that, under tho opesation ol Scrutin de Liste, tho citias, which sza usually the centres aud hot-beds of Repub- licanism, would be likely to coutrol the vata of the Departments in which theyare ituated ; while, by the othisr method, tho rural diatricte, where svistocraiio infiuenca still holda ita ground, avd where ths psasantry aro largelv gov- ared fn thotr pollticai action by thio prissts, ‘mould be lkely to chooss monof their own nelghborlinod to represont them, lostead of tha gres: lawvors sod oratore of the clties, ? os derived additlonal intevest from tho fact that M.
