LATEST NEWS.
Versailles, May 24—Night.
The Assembly reassembled at 2 o'clock this after
noon, and aftsr an energetic speech by M. Oasimcr,
Perier, Minister of Interior,
WAS REJECTED
by a vote of 362 against 348.
The simple order of the day emanating from the
Left, and supported by the Government, an order of
the day proposed by the Right, declaring that the
present form of government was not under discussion
and regretting that tho reconstruction of the ministry
niD NOT AFFORD CONSERVATIVE GUARANTEES,
was then adopted by a vote of 360 to $44.
Upon the announcement of the result of the last
vote, M. Bar og non, member of the Right, said
that the Supreme Interests of the country required
that the Government should not remain silent. His
remarks were received
WITH NOISY PROTESTATIONS
from the Left.
When the tumult had subsided, Barognon proposed
a night sitting of the Assembly.
M. Dufavre, Minister of Justice, ascended the tri
bune, and declared that France would not remain a
moment without a government, notwithstanding the
rote first cast. There exists a President and the Re
public, and the Minister would answer for the main
tenance of order. They would consult with the Presi
dent and agree to a night sitting.
THE LEFT SHOUTED.
Why will the government thus set Europe and pos
terity an example by this monstrous ingratitude ?
The Right insisted that the Government should
promptly communicate its decision to the Assembly.
After farther debate, amid great excitement, it was
decided to have a night session.
THE RESULT OF THE VOTE
caused intense excitement The streets were crowded
with people eagerly waiting the result.
THE NIGHT SESSION.
The assembly met this evening, aud M. Dufavre
announced the Ministers had resigned. Thiers had ac
cepted tbeir resignation.
THIERS RESIGNS.
A message was then handed to the President of
the Assembly from Thiers, in which he said that he
delivered back to the assembly, high functions which
had beeen conferred upon him. The recording of
the message produced profound sensatisn.
A movement that the Assembly immediately ap
point a successor, produced a terrific nproar. The
Left moved that Thiers’ resignation be not accepted,
which was rejected by a vote of 368 to 339. The resig
nation was then
FORMALLY ACCEPTED.
Buffel assayed to eulogize Thiers. The members
of the Left endeavored to secure adjournment of the
election, hut the Right insisted on choosing a Presi
dent of the Republic. The vote resulted in
THE ELECTION OF MARSHALL MCMAHON,
Who received 390 votes. The Left abstained from
voting.
The committee appointed to wait on MacMahon to
inform him of his election was beaded by Buffet.
The members of the Right enthusiastically cheered
C*—1—A —w— -••isued the Chair.
It was anno need that MacMahon accepted cue Presi

Buffet announced that the ministers would tempora

AN INTERESTING CASE.
Is a Man t« Blame for (jtotUBg Killed by
• Railroad Train I
UAXsiutmu, Pi.. lt*y 24. 1873.
A case of great importance, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, argued in the Supreme Court to-day, in
volved the right of plaintiff to recover damages for
the killing of a man on a crossing ef a publii high
way, where plaintiff proved affirmatively that the per
son killed did not" stop, look, or lfSten.” before he
drove on the crossing. The counsel for the oompsny
contended that this was negligence in law, and thia
was denied on the other side. Great interest is felt in
tbe case, as it is thought to involve the safety of
sengera and travelers, and is an entirely new point in
jaw. The case is also one of great importance to the
railroad company, as it would, if decided against
them, hold them responsible in every case of injury
at a public crossing. It is thought the decision of the
court below will be reversed.

FROG1KM IK SEWING MACHINES.
It may be a matter of some interest to our
many readers to know when the first sewing
machine made its appearance before the pub
lic, and what kind of a machine it was. In
the patent office at Washington is a model of
a “ machine to run a straight seam,” which
was patented Feb. 21, 1842, by James Green-
ough, of Washington. This machine made
wbat is known as the “ shoemaker’s stitch.”
The needle was made with the eve in the cen
tre, and pointed at both ends, being pushed
through and then drawn back by means of
pinchers ! In 1843 other patents were granted
to J. R. Corliss and B. W. Bean. Another
machine was patented in 1844 by Rogers.
Two years after, 1846, Elias Howe, Jr., pa
tented his, on Sept. 10. This was the fifth
patent Then in 1851 came the patents of
Wilson, Grover & Baker, and singer, with
about 15 other patents intervening. In 1854
Theodore E. Weed invented what is known
at present as the “ Old Weed,” but it was not
until 1867 that the Weed “Family Favorite”
was patented by Geo. A. Fairfield; which, al
though it is but six years bid, is placed far
ahead of all other machines, by reason of its
simplicity and perfection. Between the year
when Greenough’s patent was issued, to the
year 1871, nearly one thousand different pa
tents were taken out, and as many rejected.
In one year, 1869, eighty-eight patents were
issued ! but a great majority of these patents
have never been carried into popular use, The
most popular and reliable machine ot the
present day is the Weed “FF.” The com
pany manufacturing it is one of great capital
and strength; and it is a point with this com
pany to let their machines sell themselves, by
the strength of their merits, and nqt resort to
the means used by some companies to force
their sales, which we are sorry to say is too
often done.
’ The first introduction ot sewing machines
was less than thirty years ago, and yet, at
that time, the original inventor could not
have filled an order for a dozen machines for
less than five hundred dollars each. There
was not the machinery in existence to make
the various parts. Now, however, in a well-
furnished and properly organized manufac
tory, like that of the Weed Company, every aid
of machinery is made use of, and sewing ma
chines, constructed with a perfection of accu
racy which it would have been impossible to
attain thirty years ago, are now made in large
numbers daily, aud are sold at a price which
places them within reach of every fam ly of
thrifty habits.
Kellogg’s Spanking Bays—How
He Gave Dr. Elliott an
Office.
From tbe New Orleans Herald.
“Delighted to see yon doctor,” exclaimed
the gushing usurper; “you are just the man
1 desired to see.” “Now, you know, as Gov
ernor of the State, I need a fine pair of horses,
bays; and everybody tells me you are tbe man
to get them for me.”
*T am,” responded the doctor; “what’s the
figure ?”
“Twenty-five hundred dollars for a first-
class pair of bays, spirited, but well broken
in harness, without fault, not over five or
six years.”
“There are no horses to be got in this
city, Governor, but I can find them in the
West.”
“Then, you must go up there for the horses
—I must have them.”
The Doctor, pondering over the proposal,
Kellogg suddenly broke out in his impetuous
style:
“By-the-by, Doctor, you have been strongly
recommended to me as the man for for an of
fice in my gilt”
At which the shrewd Doctor, who had never
before been offered a political office, opened
his eyes and erected his ears.
Kellogg proceeded—“The office, Doctor, is
not a political one. It is one for which yon
are admirably qualified, that of weigher and
inspector of hay.”
The Doctor assented to this estimate of his
capacities, and would be quite thankful for
the office, especially when the emoluments
were indicated as reaching the pretty sum of
ten thousand dollars.
“JJow,” continued the Governor, “I will
order your commission to be made out, and
you will proceed to the nearest justice ot the
peace, qualify, then appoint your deputy, re
turn to me, aud I will give you a permit to
leave the State, and you can proceed to St.
Louis and buy that pair of bays ($2,500) for
me. ”
The doctor assented to. these propositions,
received his commission, installed bis deputy,
obtained his permit of absence, and hurried
to St. Louis to buy the pair of bays.
Engaged in this negotiation, looking arcund
through the horse market, and carefully
noting the points of all tbe animals offered,
some weeks passed. At last, however, the
doctor found tbe pair he needed —and truly
fiaer carriage horses we have not seen for
many a day—and closed tho purchase oi them.
Then he began to look around for a few more
horses and mules, which he might as well add
to his stock in this city. Whilst thus em
ployed, great was his surprise one day to re
ceive a dispatch from New Orleans from his
deputy, to the following effect: “I have been
put out of office; Spearing has ousted me
with a commission from Kellogg. ” Somewhat
aghast at this unexpected intelligence, the
doctor hurried his stock aboard the first boat
for New Orleans and started homeward.
Arriving safely here, the Doctor discovered
that tbe telegram was but too true. A rival
livery man had “stolen a march on him,” and
secured the office for which he had received
the commission, and the $2,500 bays were
left on his hauds. Yesterday these bays were
exhibited for sale on Union street, and excit
ed considerable attention. A new interest
and value were given to them by the narra
tion of the facts which led to their purchase
aud importation. There was quite a pressure
around them, and the Doctor was unusually
eloquent in describing their qualities and
pointing out their beauties, adding that he
was very glad that they would not fall into
the bands of a Radical Governor wao had
treated him so badly, inducing him to spend
several hundred dollars in weights and scales
for an office to which he had commissioned
another in his absence.
Harris of the Savannah News contributes
tho following tit-bits. They’ll do to take
along :
A Macon man put on his wife’s dress and
went over to see a neighbor the other day.
The neighbor’s bride was out in tbe garden at
the time, but heariog her husband laughing
and talking, she went to a back window and
looked in. She beheld what appeared to be
a lusty female capering around the room and
lasciviously hugging her husband. Setting
her snn-bonnet firmly upon her head, and
grasping the handle of a superannuated case-
knife, with which she had been cutting vege- j
tables, she sailed into the room. Tho sup- j
posed female said she jabbed him in fifty
places before he could speak, and finally
tore off his false hair. Then she sat down
and cried. The abus.il man says his calico
dress resemble s the ground plan of a patent
sieve.
