Nicolas Joseph Péraldi (18 March 1841 – 18 February 1914) was a French notary who was Republican deputy of Corsica from 1881 to 1885, then senator of Corsica from 1885 to 1894 and again from 1909 to 1912.
Nicolas Joseph Péraldi was born on 18 March 1841 in Ajaccio, Corsica.[1] He earned a licence in law and became a notary in Ajaccio on 28 July 1866. He became president of the Chamber of Notaries of Ajaccio. He was elected municipal councilor in August 1870, second on the list. After the fall of the Second French Empire he was confirmed in the municipal administration on 10 September 1870. He was reelected municipal councilor on 22 November 1874.[2]
Péraldi was made Mayor of Ajaccio on 28 March 1876.[2] He was mayor during the 16 May 1877 crisis.[1] His appointment as mayor was revoked by decree on 26 June 1877.[a][1] He was reinstated as mayor on 23 December 1877. He was again elected municipal councilor on 13 January 1878, and was appointed Mayor of Ajaccio on 25 June 1878.[2] He was named a Knight of the Legion of Honour by decree of 26 July 1879.[3] He was elected to the General Council of Corsica in August 1880.[1] In 1881 Bonapartists loyal Victor, Prince Napoléon, removed Peraldi from his office as mayor.[4]
Deputy (1881–85)
Péraldi was elected to the legislature on 2 September 1881 on the second ballot by 6,850 votes against 5,771 for M. Cunéo d'Ornano.[1] He represented the Ajaccio-Sartène constituency.[5] He sat on the left, voted consistently with the Opportunist Republicans majority, supported the Léon Gambetta and Jules Ferry ministries, and voted for credits for the Tonkin Campaign.[1] However, he would not vote for the separation of church and state.[5]
First term as senator (1885–94)
Péraldi was elected Senator of Corsica on 25 January 1885, holding office until 7 January 1894.[6] In the senate he abstained on the vote over the expulsion of the princes in June 1886, voted for reestablishment of the district ballot, for the draft Lisbonne law restricting freedom of the press. He abstained from the vote on the procedure to be followed in the senate against General Boulanger.[1] He served in the congress committee and then the committee on petitions. He ran for reelection in the triennial renewal of 7 January 1894, but of the outgoing senators only Pierre de Casabianca was reelected. Two new senators won election: François Pitti-Ferrandi with 415 votes and Vincent Farinole with 409 votes.[7]
