returned the following year, his rival's election 

 having been annulled. In 1866 he signed and 

 defended the amendment of the 45, who 

 called on the Emperor to march frankly along 

 the path of political liberty. " I quite under- 

 stand," said Napoleon III. to him at the end 

 of this discussion; "the object is to draw the 

 lion's teeth, cut his claws, and leave him only 

 his imposing and useless mane." He was also 

 in 1870 one of the signers of the interpellation 

 of the 116 which brought about the Ollivier 

 ministry, the formation of which was so warm- 

 ly hailed by the country. He left it when the 

 adversaries of the Liberal Empire invented the 

 plebiscite of 1870, which he considered an in- 

 fringement of the rights of the Assembly, the 

 dissolution of which he had demanded. He 

 was among those who, on the 4th of September, 

 1870, protested the most strongly against the 

 forcible dissolution of the Chamber. Eeturned 

 to the present Assembly, he at first refused to 

 enter M. Thiers's first cabinet, figured among 

 the most active members of the Right Centre, 

 and succeeded M. Grevy as President of the 

 Assembly. 



DUFATJEE, JULES AEMAND STANISLAS, was 

 born at Saujon, December 4, 1798. He stud- 

 ied law, and settled first at Paris, and then at 

 Bordeaux, where he soon became one of the 

 best lawyers. In 1834 he was elected to the 

 Chamber of Deputies, was appointed Council- 

 or of State in 1836 under the Thiers minis- 

 try, resigned after a few months, when the 

 ministry was defeated, and then organized a 

 bitter opposition to the Mol6 ministry. After 

 the Revolution of 1848 M. Dufaure was elected 

 to the Constituent Assembly, and on October 

 13th of the same year was appointed Minis- 

 ter of the Interior by General Cavaignac. In 

 this position he did everything in his power to 

 secure the election of General Cavaignac to 

 the presidency. When it was found that 

 Louis Napoleon had been elected President, 

 Dufaure resigned his position, and again took 

 his seat in the Assembly. In 1849 he was 

 elected to the Legislative Assembly, was ap- 

 pointed Minister of the Interior on June 2d, 

 and suddenly dismissed on October 31st. The 

 coup d'etat caused him to retire to private 

 life. In 1863 he was elected a member of the 

 French Academy in replacing the Duke de 

 Pasquier. In 1871 he was elected to the Na- 

 tional Assembly from four departments, and 

 chose for Charente-Inferieure. On February 

 19th ho was appointed Minister of Justice by 

 President Thiers. In this position he remained 

 until 1873, when Thiers resigned. On March 

 10,. 1875, he was again appointed Minister of 

 Justice, which position he still held at the end 

 of the year. 



MEATTX, CAMILLE, Vicomte de, was born in 

 L830. In 1871 he was elected to the National 

 Assembly from the department of the Loire, 

 and on March 10, 1875, was appointed Minis- 

 ter of Commerce and Agriculture, which posi- 

 tion he retained at the end of the year. He is a 



son-in-law of the late M. de Montalembert, and 

 like him a zealous royalist, and an ardent de- 

 fender of the interests of the Catholic Church. 



CAILLAUX, EUGENE, was born at Orleans, 

 about 1823. In 1871 he was elected to the 

 National Assembly from the department of 

 Sarthe, and on March 10, 1875, was appointed 

 Minister of Public Works, which position he 

 still retained at the end of the year. In the 

 Assembly he is a member of the Left Centre.
