ref. 46404887Paris, 14 mai 1871, adressée au rédacteur en chef du journal L’Estafette ; 1 page in-8, “Gagne, avocat citoyen du peuple universel” envoie sa déclaration pour la proclamation de République plébiscitaire qui seule peut arrêter le déluge de sang [pendant la Commune de Paris]. “Nous voulons enfanter la déesse de la république et par nos fureurs stupides et fratricides nous proclamons le diable archi-monarque de la France ! (...) Pour détrôner Satan qui a d’autant plus de puissance que personne ne croit en lui, il faut (...) le suffrage direct donné au peuple entier, y compris les femmes, pour faire tous les plébiscites et toute les lois, à l’exclusion des corps législatifs et des sénats qui sont des institutions diaboliques qu’il faut supprimer à perpétuité.”Né en 1808 à Montoisson (Drôme), Gagne fit de brillantes études à Valence. Avocat à Montélimar, l’ambition le fait bientôt s’inscrire au barreau de Paris. Il ne plaide qu’une fois pour un jeune “pervers” qui fut condamné au maximum. Gagne qui avait cru à l’acquittement fut dégoûté du métier et tenta de se consoler avec les Muses. Arrive 1848 et ce fut l’exaltation ! Il retourne à Montélimar où il est acclamé et nommé adjoint au maire et bâtonnier. Candidat à la députation, il échoue, puis retourne à Paris où il se lie avec Abd el Kader, se marie avec Élise Moreau, une poétesse de l’entourage de Madame Valmore et s’occupe de tables tournantes, un passe-temps qui lui ébranla la cervelle. Interné dans un asile, il est bientôt libéré car sa folie n’était pas dangereuse. Redevenu libre, il se met à écrire et rimailler à propos de tout. Il fut “candidat universel, perpétuel, surnaturel et inamovible” lors de toutes les élections. En 1870 il se proclame Archi-Monarque et demande que la place de la Concorde soit transformé en Temple Universel. Il est l’auteur de plusieurs ouvrages en vers qui lui valurent une place d’honneur au Panthéon des fous littéraires. Voyez Blavier, Delpierre, Queneau dans Les enfants du limon, Brugal dans Bizarre IV, etc. Les autographes de Paulin Gagne sont extrêmement rares. Le feuillet a été doublé, fentes aux pliures, salissures et réparations.

ref. M88Folio ca. 32x195 cm or 12 ¾ x 7 ¾ in. 2 pp. Brown ink on blueish laid paper. Fold marks paper slightly age-toned but overall a very good letter written in a legible hand. Interesting original manuscript letter providing an insight into an early legal dispute over the confirmation of what looks like a common law marriage in the Oregon Territory. Written by a resident of Oregon City who concealed his identity under the letters “R.J.G.” the letter is addressed to “Mr. Harding” – most likely Benjamin Franklin Harding 1823-1899 a notable Oregonian attorney and politician. In 1852 Harding established the “Harding and Grover” law firm in Salem; in 1855-59 served as the Secretary of the Oregon Territory. During the American Civil War Harding took the office of the US Senator from Oregon 1862-65. In the letter the author refuses the claim of an unnamed woman to be his alleged wife apparently common-law and declares that he can prove that she is in fact the wife of another man and that he is going “to defend myself which I shall do regardless of consequences.” In the beginning of the letter the author notes that the “claimant” lived “at Judge Olney’s” who was Cyrus Olney 1815-1870 then the 6th Associate Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court 1853-58. Later Olney served as a delegate to the Oregon Constitutional Convention 1857 and served in the Oregon House of Representatives. Overall an interesting early original letter regarding legal disputes over the confirmation of common-law marriages in the Oregon Territory. The text of the letter: “Mr. Harding Sir On account of your protestations of friendship I think it strange that you did not apprise me of your agency in depositing in … Office that petition. I have said that I was willing the complainant should marry that I never would distrust her that I would not lay a straw in her way. I am informed that she was so informed while living at Judge Olney’s. She has been influenced to make application for a Bill probably on account of such intelligence. Now it is a well founded belief that she would have been married last fall had I not come back when I did and that too without a Bill. She has taken the wrong step to succeed. No lawful marriage exists between us and hence she cannot obtain a Bill from me. I am certainly correct in this view. I consulted the law and lawmakers last fall in reference to this matter as I was determined to take lawful steps and found that I was free from her in every sense of the word. She wishes to marry again I am willing that she should impose upon some other man if she feels safe in so doing and can find one as foolish as I have been. The complainant is not my wife but the wife of one Mr. Walker as I shall prove to the court. Can you not see that she endangers herself you know the penalty I presume. I don’t wish her to suffer this penalty I wish her no harm whatsoever but if this affair goes to court its result may prove fatal to her happiness to her parents and to yours and family. It has proven an unfortunate affair to us all and I presume that neither party wishes any more than a quiet future and freedom from each other. She is not bound to me nor I to her. It would be for her welfare and happiness to immediately withdraw as she has the power of doing her complaint and then here or elsewhere apply for a Bill from Mr. Walker or if she prefers marry without such application. In either event I shall not disturb her. If she obtains a Bill from Walker she will be safe as there is no public record of our marriage nor were witnesses present at the solemnization. If she does not withdraw her Bill she forces me to defend myself which I shall do regardless of consequences. If I did not know that we are free from each other by virtue of the law then I should have long since applied. Take my word for it she cannot obtain a Bill from me by virtue of her relation to Mr. Walker. But if she blindly persists in her present application then I must meet her and answer for my horrid abuse! I have suggested this by advice of one of my legal friends and by virtue of my own feelings toward her. If you have any doubt of the propriety of this course call and see me and others. If the matter stops here you must act promptly for additional costs are making. Respectfully R.J.G.” unknown
