In October, 1795, Cavaignac assisted Barras and Bonaparte in the destruction of some thousands of men, women, and children in the streets of this capital, and was, therefore, in 1796, made by the Directory an inspector-general of the customs; and, in 1803, nominated by Bonaparte a legislator.

When it was determined by the French government in the spring of 1847, to undertake several military expeditions simultaneously into the deserts to the south of Algeria, it was my lot to accompany the column of General Cavaignac, both in a medical and scientific capacity. The western route, being the most difficult and dangerous, was that assigned to him.
Dupont de l'Eure, bent and tottering, read from the tribune, with the authority of his eighty years, his own order of the day, amid a deep silence that was broken at intervals by cheers. The order of the day, which was purely and simply a reiteration of the declaration of June 28: "General Cavaignac has merited well of the fatherland," was adopted by 503 votes to 34.
When Lamartine was succeeded by Cavaignac, perhaps Nice would have been demanded as well as Savoy.
"And the Marshal Duke of Islay where is he?" quietly asked Marrast, with a significant shrug and smile. At this mention of his bitter foe, a frown lowered on the fine face of Lamoricière, as he briefly and sternly replied: "With the King, Monsieur General Bugeaud is with the King. But they mistake, Monsieur. Eugène Cavaignac is the man for this emergency.
They took them from them. General Lamoricière had kept his. A voice from outside cried three separate times, "Stop his smoking!" A sergent de ville who was standing by the door of the cell hesitated for some time, but however ended by saying to the general, "Throw away your cigar." Thence later on ensued the exclamation which caused General Cavaignac to recognize General Lamoricière.
As General Cavaignac did nothing to win the affections of the French people, as he was the mere agent of men rendered fierce by fear, it cannot be regarded as strange, that, when the Presidential election took place, he found himself nowhere in the race with Louis Napoleon.
As I was withdrawing Lamartine quitted a group and came to me. "Adieu," he said. "But do not forget this: do not judge me too hastily; I am not the Minister of War." The day before, as the riot was spreading, Cavaignac, after a few measures had been taken, said to Lamartine: "That's enough for to-day." It was 5 o'clock. "What!" exclaimed Lamartine.
The police agent charged with escorting General Bedeau to Belgium was one of those who, on the 2d of December, had arrested General Cavaignac. He told General Bedeau that they had had a moment of uneasiness when arresting General Cavaignae: the picket of fifty men, which had been told off to assist the police having failed them.
