IN CARNOT’S PLACE.

M. C*»lmlr-Perier Elected to Succeed the Auasalnated Preaident. Paris, June 29. —M. Casimir-Perier, president of the chamber of deputies, was elected president of the third republic of France at the palace of Versailles by the congress of both houses of parliament. The national assembly consisting of the members of the senate and chamber of deputies, numbered 853. and Casimir-Perier received 451 votes on the first ballot. The result was announced amid great cheering and the new president was overwhelmed with congratulations, among the first to extend these being M. Dupuy, the premier. The scene was a very brilliant one. The election took place in the great hall or theater of the palace which has witnessed so many memorable events in the history of France under the republic, the Napoleons and the Bourbons. Here it was that on January 18, 1871, King William of Prussia, whose armies held Paris, was proclaimed German emperor. The ministers formally tendered their resignations to him. CasimirPerier requested them to remain in office. It is doubtful, however, whether Dupuy, the prime minister, will retain office. It is expected, in the event of his insisting upon his resignation being accepted, that the president will summon Burdeau to form a cabinet. ITALIANS FLEE FROM FRANCE. Rome, June 29. —Many Italian workingmen who were driven out of Marseilles, Lyons and Grenoble are returning to Italy. They tell of outrageous brutalities committed by unreasoning Frenchmen. They declare that many Italians in French towns have been wounded and that some have died of their injuries, but that the authorities are concealing the facts. Dispatches on the subject are being actively exchanged between Rome and Paris. SANTO’S TRIAL BET FO3 JULY 23.
