TIE SITUATION In RRAncK.

When the French Assembly meets nex,
month the friends Of the Comte q
Chambord will he able TO show sufl-
cicnt strength to exert great influence In
the control Of It's organization and subse-
qucnt deliberations. They have succeeded
in so thoroughly conciliating the factions op,
posed 10 the republic rs 10 DO able now to
present an undivided trent In support OF the
divine right" Of the Bourbons to the throne.
The circumstances and influences attending
this Cancellation will probably never bo made
public. 1t Is believed, however, that COM
promise has been reached between the ad-
hcrcnts OF the rival claimants for the throne,
by which, after the Comte de Chambord has
realized the dream Of his life and asserted
the divine right of his family, other changes
In tho Government will follow. This belief
finds partial support In the rumor that
he will, In the event Of being declared king,
remain on the throne only long enough to
revive the peculiar features Of the Bourbon
dynasty, to which he is especially attached,
aud then resign In favor Of the Comte de
Paris. II Is impossible TO foretell tho result
o. such a course and 1t is, perhaps, idle to
speculate regarding It, The situation re-
mains critical II IL true; but Ii Is by no means
that the Republicans will not be able
to retain control Of the Assembly. They are
not as haunoniou'ly organized as their oppo
ssnis claim 10 b.; but II IL more than prob

THE PRESIDENT AND THE PANIC.

When the stock jobbers and wall-street
thieves, at the beginning Of the Fifth avenue
conference, declared that President Grant
knew nothing about the laws Of finance OF
the laws regulating the administration Of our
financial affairs, few inslgnileant Journals
In the country repeated the declaration with
extraordinary glee. They evidently believed
that he had been trapped BY mon whose busi-
ness II was to know more than any other
class In the country about such mattos. But
the result has discomfted them and given the
. llo to his slanderers. During the conference
referred to his familiarity with the law and
with the necessities Of commerce was 80
plainly demonstrated as TO occasion surprise
In the minds Of those who were present many
OF whom anticipated that Secretary Richard
son would be forced into extraordinary
prominence. But the President proved him.
self to be more than equal to the 6ccaslon,
and asserting the natural force Of his charac-
ter, became the leading spirit Of the confer
ence. Ills arm determination 10 adhere 10
the letter and spirit Of tho law awed tho
brokers aud railroad magnstos who had been
boldenoughto TO engage him In the controversy,
with what was to them new and unexpected
belief In the existence Of public integrity
Accustomed as they had been, Ia tho transac-
ton Of their daily business, 10 trickery and
deceit, they were thrilled by q new sensation
when they found themselves brought into
contact with a plAin-spokon man whose every
energy was devoted to the accomplishment Of
the greatest good to The greatest number.
Friendsand foes alike presented their specious
arguments aud brought to boar influences
that would have overwhelmed q weaker will.
The country has not beeu slow to recognize
and testify Its appreciation Of these facts.
SO long us the history Of the panic lasts In
the memory OF our people, the conservative
policy Of the Government, dictated and
framed under his Immediate supervision, will
remain as monument to the sterling worth
Of his CHARACTER. The Baltimore Sun, fol.
lowing the lead of the New York Journal Of
Commerce, and sustained by tho unanimous
support Of the Intelligent press Of tho
country, accords to HIM the 'houot which
Is due" and gives him the credit Of having
rcmandcd the speculators to the "back seats,
where they belong" When 1t Is remembered
that the Sun Is emlnently an Independent
paper, and practically Q Democratic one, 1t
will be understood that no partisan or
friendly motive prompts Its praise. in short,
II Is but simple justice to say that tho ProsI-
dent has compelled even his political oppo-
ncnts to acknowledge his power to grapple
with questions which, In their important re-
lations to the vital interests Of the country,
required the gravest consideration and the
most statesmanllke ability. It Is true that
there are those who fnd fault with tho re-
suits of his efforts, but they are Of the class
whose pretentions to wealth have been eX-
posed, or whose financial bubbles have been
prickcd, and whose growls will only odd
strength to the conviction that he has rem
dcrcd most Invaluable service TO the country.

THE ASPECT OF POLITICAL AFFAIRS In
Maryland Is decidedly encouraging to Re-
publicans. The State Is not so hopelcssly
Democratic as the public has been educated
to believe 1t to be by tho succession OF Re-
publican defeats since tho war. 1t was car
Red for Mr.. Greeley last fall by the small
majority OF 0a7, and, Notwithstanding the
disgraceful and bare-faced gerrymauderiug
under the new apportionment, two Republi-
can members Of Congress were elect ed. In
every section Of the State the Republicans
are aroused to the necessity of active and
harmonious work, while In miuy counties
the Democrats are divided against each
other, and bitter feuds have arisen, which
will serve either to drive numbers OF them
into the Republican ranks, or provoke them
to nominate third tickets. In view OF all these
facts, It Is among the possibilities of
fall BY tho friends OF tho National Admins
tration. It Is apparent from the tone Of the
Democratic press Of the State that the oppo-
sition fears such result. The appeals from
that source for harmony, and the arguments
advanced to combat tho positions assumed
BY the boilers, are so earnest as to provoke
chuckle of qualification among Republicans.
In fact, they have begun to calculate their
strength In the next Legislature, by which
United States Senator Is to be elected, and to
arrange for postponemont Of the election In
the event Of their failure to carry the House
Of Delegates. Referring to this subject the
Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says;
The Maryland Radicals are quito sangulne OF
success IN The ensuing fall election In that State
and they count upon securing o majority In the
Legislature, by which they will have the choice
OF United States Senator to succeed Senator
Hamilton, whose term expires In 1875. The
Democrats do not seem to be very highly en-
couraged by their prospects In the next pollti-
cal contest, although they feel sure OF carrying
the state by q respectable majority. Some OF
the latter entertain the belief, however, that
even II the Republicans shall carry the State
this fall. the Democrats will still retain control
Of The State Senate, and 1t Is limited that II the
Radicals secure the lower house the other branch
OF the Legislature would probably decline u
vote In Joint ballot, thereby producing q dead
lock, preventing the election OF q United States
Senator, and deprlvlng the State Of one repre-
sentative In Congress.

Reynolds belongs to the old school Of noyests,
who spin their stories In webs, tangled and tu-

are caught, and held fast, all sorts OF mysteries,
crimes, plots and intrigues. Knives and slaves,
banqueting halls and frightened vassals, secret
cells and midnight prisoners, delicate maidens
with streaming hair, willy priests with words OF
treachery, heartlcss desperadoes with frowns
and menaces, death-beds with curses and impre-
cations-a perfect hodge -podge. "Kenneth" Is
Scotch, historical novel, written, as the author
expresses 1t, to show that "the human heart
contains many temples, In which angels may be
enshrined or friends raised up" And by wadlng
through three hundred and forty-two nnely

enabled to step out all dripping with achieve
