Speaker Randall Receives the R-nomination IS LAST NIGHT FULL CAUCUS. Con tid en Sammy Cox Sorrowfully AV it lid taws. How Eandall Managed His Case. Special Despatch to Tbe Boston Globe.) Washington, IX. October 13.

The Democratic caucus on the Speakership was organised tonight. Soon after 8 o'clock there was a large attendance. Mr. Clymer of Pennsylvania was In the chair. Before the balloting the several candidates were presented; the list included Messrs.

Randall of Pennsylvania, Mr. Sayler ot Ohio, and Mr Goode of Virginia, Sammy Cox. so confident early In the week, having become discouraged, withdrawing. Only one ballot was had, Mr. Randall receiving the nomination, 107 votes being cast for him, against 23 for Mr.

Goode, and 12 for Mr. Sayler. The vote for Clerk of tbe House resulted in the renominalion of Mr. Adams, be receiving 70 ballots, against C9 for Mr. Caldwell.

The nomination of Mr. Randall was considered a foregone conclusion. During the caneusing of the week he has kept silent, bat worked inde-fatigsbiy. From his bouse on Capitol (fill he has directed the campaign, and has avoided all public meetings, noticeably keeping away from the serenade to the Ohio Democratle delegation the other night, where two of tbe candidates for the Speakership did themselves no good by speaking too These were Sayler and Blackburn, the former being the more discreet of the two. Amid red and blue lights they stood on the hotel balcony, talking to a motley crew below, and giving vent to bit.er remarks concerning president Hayes, Randall, the sly from his window on the hill, looked at the lights, imagined what they were saying and chuckled gleefully.

Blackburn displeased even his immediate followers by "pitying tbe usurper in the White House, who ssw his doom in letters of fire when he read the returns front Ohio, and knew that his own neighbors bad repudiated the fraud." He should have put up his quotation marks at the last word in deference to liana. It Is perfectly evident that the cry of '-fraud is almost worn to a whisper, and Southern members of Congress, and, in fact, everybody here, are heartily sick of it. THE STRUGGLE OVER DOORKEEPER.

There can be no section with Sating Ball, as the two tribes aetbarsao nice Great Excitement Over Today's Elections. MACMAHON'S LATEST APPEAL, The Last Word of the Republican Left. PREPARATIONS FOR THE STRUGGLE. By Cable to The Boston Globe.1 Paris, October 13. The elections which are to take place throughout France tomorrow are causing the greatest excitement, not only here, but rn all Europe.

President MacMahon has issued today the following final address to the people: Frenchmen: Ton are about to vote. The violence of the opposition has dissipated all illusions. No calumny ean longer pass for truth. No. The Kepubliean Constitution is not in danger.

No. The Government, respectful as it may be to religion, does not obey the pretended clerical influences, and nothing shall cause it to be dragged into a policy that would compromise peace. No. You are not menaced with any return to the abuses of the past. The struggle is between order and disorder.

You have already decided. You do not wish by hostile elections to throw the country into an unknown future of crises and conflicts. YoU desire tranquillity at home and abroad to be assured. The public powers to be in accord with security for work and business. You will vote for the candidates I recommend to your suffrages.

Frenchmen! The hour has come. Go to the polls fear. Listen to my appeal, and placed by the Constitution at a post which duty forbids me to abandon, shall answer for order and peace. This manifesto is replied to by Emile de Girardin, the editor of I France.who issues a reply which concludes as follows: "We have already decided. No We do not wish to plunge the country into a future of crises and conflicts by elections hostile to those of February J187C.

"We want-to have tranquillity assured at home as well as abroad, security of labor and of business, and harmony of the public powers by means of Senatorial elections in 1878. In conformity with elections for Deputies in 1877 we will vote for those candidates whose election will be a guarantee that 1877 will not see a revival of the law of the 31st of May, 1850. Yes, the hour has come. We shall go to the polls without fear, and it is our exemplary discipline which will be the surest guarantee for order and peace." THE EXPULSION OF UK, BEDFX. Republican comments on MacMahon's manifesto are very severe.

The expulsion of Mr. Bedel, the American, for canvassing for M. Menier, radical Republican, at Montrange, lias been made so much of by the Republican papers that the Foreign Oilice addressed a reproving an I admonitory communique to the Bien Public and France, and the same as to the Eappel, which censured that journal for endeavoring to excite public opinion in regard to Bedel's case. The agents of London papers are required to produce a written license for their bundles at the station. The sale of papers thus depends the pleasure of the Government.

The Daily News was seized at the post and railway yesterday. The Duke de Cazes, Minixter of Foreign Affairs, who has heretofore been very careful and reserved, has lost his head and delivered a most intemperate speech at Lebourne, in which he declared there was no distinction between the Republican party and the Communists and other demagogic enemies of the Constitution. He has also issued an electoral address, in which he charges the radicals with compulsory atheism, progressive taxation, the spoliation of large land-owners, the destruction of the Senate, and the re-establishment of the Convention of 1793 or of the Commune. At a meeting last night in support of Gravy's candidature, Victor Hugo presided and made an eloquent speech. I THE LAST WORD OF THE REPUBLICANS.

The following manifesto has been addressed to the Electors by the Left of the Senate: Dkab Fellow-Citizkjcs: At the last moment a supreme effort is about to be made to influence your votes te the advantage of the official candidates. If you are told that republican institutions are not imperilled, von will demand why the De Broglie-Fourton Ministry has only adversaries of the Republic for its agents; why that Ministry leaves unpunished and encourages insolent attacks of which it is the object, while it prosecutes with all its power the men who defy it; and you will reply, "No, we do not believe it." If you are told that this ministry is not subject to clerical influences you will remember the indulgences and prayers placed publicly at services of official candidates, and you will reply, We do not believe you." If you are told that the Republican electors would plunge the country in troubles and danger you will shew the names of the official candidates, all enemies of the republican regime, and concealing neither their aims nor their hopes, and you will reply, We do not believe you." If you are told tie Government guarantees order and peace, you will reply that the most profound order prevailed before' the 16th of May, and it has not since then ceased to prevail despite much provocation, and you will repeat with the late M. Thiers, that the only fomenters of discord are these men, characterized as anarchists and per-turbators. Electors, you will vote for the "363," and you will everywhere protest against official candfdacies, which are an insult to your liberty, to the dignity of universal suffrage, and to the sovereignty of the nation. Rentes on tbe Paris Petite Bourse fell tonight to 105.

lO, on apprehension of a Government defeat at the election tomorrow. FRENCH ELECTORAL LAWS. The Method Under Which the Canvass Has Seen Carried On Regulations to Prevent Fraud. The laws regulating elections in France are highly complexed; but in view of the fact that general attention is centred on today's electoral contest, they cannot fail to be of interest. The chief of these is the great law ef the 3th November.

1875, made in the time of the Republic, though not altogether as the Republicans wished. The elections, as everybody knows, are by universal suffrage, every Frenchman of one and twenty not specially affected by a civil and political disqualification having the rurht to vote. The voter's name must be inscribed on a register, and his vote taken in the commune or unit of territorial division to which the list belongs. Every elector has ipso facto the right of voting for a Deputy. The lists are revised between the 1st of January and the 31st of March every year.

No soldier or sailor on active service has a vote, and the gendarmes are considered as soldiers on active service for the purpose of this prohibition. Every male citizen of twenty-five years of age enjoying his civil and political rights is eligible for election to the Chamber, even though he may not himself be an elector. A sesidenoe of at leat six months in a particular commune is one condition of the right of voting, but the candidate is under no obligation of the kind. Soldiers and sailors on active service cannot become candidates for the Assembly, but this does not apply to those who are in the reserve. The clauses affecting the right of meeting and other means of carrying on a candidature are numerous and minute.

An electoral committee within the terms of the law is a temporary association formed for the purpose of supporting a candidate. Every such association of less than twenty persons may be formed without administrative authorization. The electoral period begins twenty days before the election, and, for saost purposes, ends an fifteen days from that time, or within five days of the taking of the vote. During this period electoral documents mav be posted on the walls or circulated without an authorization, though copies of them must be left with the Procureur de la Republique. Posters must be of colored paper, white being reserved exclusively for the placards of the Government.

All pcrsous. even women and children, may post bill during this period. The unauthorized tearing down of posters is considered an act of, intimidation, and is punishable by imprisonntent. Electoral document may be sent through the post at nv time, but when they are circulated by private agents copies of them must be left with the Procureur. The sale and the distribution of journals in the public thoroughfares cannot' be forbidden by the Government.

The pedler of newspapers, however, must have a license, which is revocable only for personal misconduct, and not on account of the sale of anv particular journal, (This law has been constantly evaded, not to aay broken, bv the present Government.) Public meetings for the support of candidates may be held during the electoral period, but only the registered electors and the candidates may attend. They must be receded by a formal notice of the intention to old them. Meetings must neither be held in the oen sir nor prolonged beyond the hoar fixed for tlie closing of puttie establishments in the district. The Government may also send a functionary, Police at Paris or the Prelects or the Departments may adjourn any meeting likely to lead to a breach of the peace, and the Minister of the Interior may absolutely forbid its being held. Private meetings are free, on the principle of inviolability of domicile.

Any citizen may call together any number of other citizens, either in his own house or in a pnblie building, for the discussion of electoral affairs. The essential mark of a private meeting is the personal invitation sent by the convener to every one attending it. The system official candidature, so much abused under the Empire, is not forbidden by the law; it is only discouraged. The present Ministers have taken no heed of the discouragement, and have revived the evil in full force. Tlie vote is taken in the principal place ki the commune, and generally in the ntairie.

The larger communes may be divided into sections for voting purposes by a decree of the Prefect. Votes are received between 8 fa the morning and 6 at night, and on one day only. Each "college" or electoral section must have a bureau, composed of a President, four Assessors and a Secretary. The Mayor, or some person representing him, presides as a matter of ri(Jit. The Assessors are usually selected from among the Municipal Councillors.

The.bareau must not be constituted before the opening of the hall, Its duty is to watch the voting and to make a provisional rulinsb for which it must assign reasons, on all difftcufties that arise. The maintenance of order is ia the hands of the President, and no arm I force may either enter or approach the polling place without authorization. All discussion in the voting hall is absolutely forbidden. Before beginning to take votes the President must read aloud the penalties for infractions of the electoral law. The voting urns are then examined Wi presence of the electors to prove that they are empty and have but one opening, and are afterwards double locked, one key remaining in the hands of the President, the other in those of the eldest among the "scrutineers" or examiners of votes, who are selected from the electors.

Each voter should, as a matter of convenience, though not as a matter of obligation, bring with him a card certifying that his name has been duly inscribed upon the register. The voting paper must be prepared outside the polling place, and this may be done either bythe elector or by any ether person on "his behalf. The paper may be either written or printed. It should contain only the name of the candidate; any addition of "unconstitutional or insulting expressions" will render it null and void. The voter, on approaching the bureau, gives his card to one of the assessors, who compares it with the name on the register, and this done, hands his voting paper, carefully folded and bearing no external marks whatever, to the President, who at once drops it into the urn.

The card, with one corner torn off, is then returned to the elector for future use. should a second vote be required. At 6 o'clock the urns are opened, the number of votes counted and compared with the number of persons who have voted. The bureau then places the scrutineers in groups of not less thnn four at different tables in the hall. The voting papers are laid out in heaps on the tables; a scrutineer takes them np one by one, reads out the nsmesof the candidates voted "for to be entered by another scrutineer on a list prepared for the purpose and then hands each voting paper to a third scrutineer for a verification of the accuracy of the reading.

While this is going on the electors have full power to verify tire return for themselves by passing freely between the different tables, which must be so arranged as to admit of this kind of inspection. Should the candidate with a majority fail to obtain a number of votes equal to a fourth of the number of names on tlie register, here must be a second poll, within a week or ten days of the first. No matter what the majority hi this instance, it carries the election. CORNER IN COAL STOCKS. They are Way Up.

Owing to the Efforts of the Wall Street Bears. I Special Despatch to The Boston Globe. 1 Kkw York, October 13. Towards the close of the Stock Exchange today coal shares advanced to the highest point of the week under the twisting influence of the bears, who have sold shout. The situation of the holders of these stocks is decidedly uncertain, and can only be ascertained by oompariesn with other securities of the same class.

It is a presumable fact that the resources of these companies are exhausted and the old stockholders and leading directors become impoverished by the purchase of stocks when they were declining heavily. They were full of confidence in these securities and believed when the coal war broke out it would result in a more absolute combination than has ever been formed, and when that belief was realized, the value of stocks woul greatly advance. Upon this supposition many of them hypothecated their stocks, and with the money realized purchased additional lots, and in turn again borrowed money upon these and carried all the stocks possible. This action was so general among the investors in coal road securities that the amount loaned upon coal stocks by national banks reaches, it is said, $30,000,000. SITTING BULL.

The Canadian Indians Go Back on Him and Escort Him Towards the States. CSpecial Despatch to The Boston Globe.1 Cheyexue. Wyoming Territory, October 13. The Leader publishes the following special from Fort Shaw, Montana: Your correspondent has just concluded an interview with Frederick Bensnider, a veteran scout and trapper, wbo has just arrived here today from Fort Walsh, in the British possessions. Mr.

Northern Blackleet and Assinebsin, and concluded a new treaty with them, the main provision of which is that these Indians shall at once compel Sitting Bull and all the disaffected Indians from the United States who have recently crossed the line and rallied around him to leave the British possessions. Tlie Canadian Indians also agree to keep malcontents out of Her Majesty's territory hereafter, and if Sitting Bnll or any of his band ever cross the line again they bind themselves to follow them np and kill them. In accordance with the provisions of this treaty or agreement the Piegans, Blackfeet end Assineboins despatched a delegation of chiefs to Sitting Bull's camp on the evening of the 17th, and on the morning of the 18th Bnll and his band broke camp and moved rapidly across the line, followed by a strong force of the Canadian Indians and a detachment of mounted police.
