DR.. George NJ. Beard says in the IHde.

shows that MacAIahon has about him met
who would not shrink even from ~plunginI
the country into civil war, IL they could
thereby thwart the will of the Republican
majority. 1t is to the everlasting honor of
that ancient representative of legitimism
that he scorned the proposal with indigna,
ton. Bafiled there, the reactionists now
contemplate having their tool, MncMahon,
ask the Senate for permission to dissolve
the new Chamber Of Deputies, so soon as II
shall meet, and again appeal to the coun.
try" But in this scheme they are likely to
find u stumbling-block in the changed atti.
tude of the sixteen Orleanist Senators, who,
having before voted for dissolution, have
now, it is said, determined to vote against
dissolution, thus insuring its defeat. The
orleanist party now openly declares hostility
to the Marshal. The increase in the
strength of the Bonapartists and the bold
ness of the im%perialist propaganda have
alarmed the followers of the Count of Paris.
The fact Is, the real contest in France is
between the Republic and the Empire. All
other parties are side shows" The legit-
lmists hate the Empire even more than they
do the Republic, and when finally, MS they
must, they have TO choose between the two,
they will unquestionably cast their lot with
the latter.
