Several Electoral Committees have been formed, each of which puts forward its own list that which sits under the Presidency of M. Dufaure, an Orleanist, at the Grand Hotel, is the most important of them. Its list is intended to include the most practical men of all parties; the rallying cry is to be France, and in theory its chiefs are supposed to be moderate Republicans.
The large Brumer Island is composed of igneous rocks as formerly mentioned; and at Dufaure Island I obtained from some canoes which came off to us a few smooth water-worn pieces of hornblendic porphyry.
He started the 10th of June in the best conditions possible not an instruction of any kind from his chief, M. Dufaure, President du Conseil very complimentary to him certainly, but the ministers taking no responsibility themselves leaving the door open in case he made any mistakes. It was evident that the Parliament and Government were nervous.
Thus, in May 1877, he ventured to dissolve the Chamber of Deputies; but the Republican party, led by the impetuous Gambetta, appealed to the country with decisive results. The President recognised the inevitable, and in December of that year charged M. Dufaure to form a Ministry that represented the Republican majority.
I replied: "Long live the Republic!" Everybody, including the National Guards and soldiers of the line, took up the shout. I drove away in a carriage, which the people followed. The Assembly to-day elected its committees. Dufaure proposes Thiers as chief of the executive power. We dined at home for the first time. I had invited Louis Blanc, Schoelcher, Rochefort and Lockroy.
Dufaure is a fine island, quite equal to any I have seen in the South Pacific plantations on all sides, right up to the mountain tops. They know nothing of firearms, for, on inquiring if there were birds on the island, they asked if I had a sling. The people are a much finer race, and freer than any I have seen further east.
The Commandant's name is Baudot. His appointment, made by Cavaignac in 1848, was countersigned by Charras. Both are to-day his prisoners. The Commissary of Police, sent by Morny to the village of Ham to watch the movements of the jailer and the prisoners, is Dufaure de Pouillac."
Among the portraits she has exhibited at the Paris Salon are those of Marshal Canrobert, General d'Aurelle de Paladines, General de Palikao, Count de Chambrun, M. Dufaure, and many others, both ladies and gentlemen. Her portrait of Thiers in 1872 was greatly admired. Paul d'Abrest wrote of Mlle.
Will you tell the coachman where to drive?" "I will go on the box," Cuthbert said, "of course Dufaure will go with you." He told the Communist what they had decided on. "That will be best," he agreed; "this is not a quiet quarter at present. What with drumming and drinking, it is not a place for a wounded man."
Sauzet, de Broglie, Vitet, and even M. Guizot, who was a Protestant, together with Messrs. Thiers, Cousin and Dufaure, who were only nominal Catholics. “Madame,” said M. Thiers, one day, to the Empress, with more truth than politesse, “history lays down the law that quiconque mange du Pape en creve.” So many and such decided manifestations of public opinion were not without their effects.
