After the Commune of Paris,
Thiers promoted the idea of a com
mission of pardons appointed by the
national assembly to decide on the
fate of criminals under sentence of
death by the courts. To secure a
pardon it was necessary that there
should be complete accord between
the chief of state and the commis
sion. As a result pardons were so
rare that a young and turbulent
deputy did not hesitate to decry the
body from his seat in the assembly
as "a commission of assassins."
Marshal MacMahon shifted the re
sponsibility somewhat, by following
Implicitly the judgment of the mln

the sentiment among the. farmers
and country people generally. The
opposition to the statement, . which
extends generally, if not so openly
and actively, to the primary law as a
whole, comes principally from the
politicians of the towns, men who
have been connected with former
machines, and hope to be so again,
and who have made such connection
somehow profitable to themselves
at the expense of the people.
