PRESIDENT.
thought might be led by the very loyalty Of his
character the most devious courses He has often
declared that he would desert the conservative
party and seemed be totally unaware Of the fact
that he owed certain duties the nation and none
any fraction OF it to the exclusion Of the others Thus
Is was anticipated that II NJ Bullets heart had failed
him at the last moment and he had refused TO remain
in Office direct violation Of the principles OF paria
mentary government, the Marshal would have formed
A
and permanent civil servants and endeavored TO rule
without a1y parliament at all Now all alarms or
cops fsiai military conspracies against the estab
hshed order OF things have vanished for the chief OF
the army has placed his power a footing by
peaceful methods Might and the law for the pres
cnt as they always should be- on the same side
DANGER STILL EXISTS.
All IA of trouhles has entfrelv
appeared For there every prospect that spite OF
the ScyltiR ddrroRdissemcL the republicans will be
victorious at the polls and Marshal MacMahon will find
himself next spring face to face with Assembly
which will pronounce decsively against all forms OF
monarchy and in favor Of the Republic The Assembly
win not be red terrorist; il will not be ultra
LIBERAL but il will be decidedly antciericai and
royalist. The quest then arises
HOW WILL THE MARSHAL ACT ?
VIII he acknowledge that the interregnum is virtually
end aud that France has finally chosen q
rsgime under which henceforth she means to liver
Judging from the past conduct OF the President one
predict that he will be convinced by
the logic OF accomplished facts and yet, all things
considered the chances seem TO be decidedly
against his flying directly in the face OF the
ascertained wishes Of the nation. Much hope is
also to be derived from the decided ameliora
tion in the tone or French politics which has
been visible Of late years There has been general
tendency compromise during the period which has
succeeded the overthrow OF the Empire Each faction
has clearly seen that IT could not secure the adoption
OF its pet theories without large amount OF sacrifice
TO the theories Of other factions Scarcely single
Iegtmist has dreamed that Henry " could reign with
out q elected Legislature.

monarchic and the democratic spirit, just the
ideal OF Bonapartism Is empire based universal

highly probable--it would be rash 10 say more-that
Uirendf will be arrived at between the new
Chamber and the President For the republican ma
1nrty which il s assumed viii be returned is very un-
likely attack the Law OF the 10th November 1879,
which constituted the Septennate, and the Marshal
finding his authority respected, Will doubt pre-
fer govern the country IN accordance with public
opinion risking the chances Of revolution II must
never be forgotten that when Louis Napoleon

suffrage and had not confidence Of the nation In
restoring universal suffrage be had distinctly popu-

Gahon could appeal 10 il on no great principle.
PEACE AND HOPE.
Peace would seem, then, TO be almost assured TIL the
year 1850 ana by that time the Republic Will have
completed its tenth year. Now, Tocquevle WAS per-
suaded that II the Republic could last ten years It
would last forever Thus the first faint streak OF
far dawn begins appear the horizon and there -
prospect that he long night Of anarchy Is at length
drawing 10 an end
