THE SITUATION IN FRANCE.

r The situation Of the French Republic is
one of extreme peril. Its enemies were
never more active, and its friends never
more divided and inert The Government
is uncertain in regard to its proper course
OF action. Grevy, who was never remarka-
BILE for exhibition of nerve in extraordinary
cases, seems 10 be growing in indecison of
character as he increases in years, whilst his
jealousy of rivals remains undminished.
'H7 The policy Of President Grevy and the
ministers who have come successfully into
power and quickly passed away since his
accession TO office has the appearance of be-
ing exceedingly, discreet. The Franco Prus-
sian war left the country disorganized, i'm
poverished and weighed down with Il heavy
war indemnity. When this debt was paid,
the army and navy were reorganized and
placed on II footing so expensive that the
continuation of prosperity and heavy taxa
ton were required TO maintain the costly
armament. Hence there has been a pro-
tracted effort to keep free from foreign dis.
sentions and allow the country to grow
strong and resume its lost supremacy in
Europe. So rigidly has this been kept in
view that the country may almost have been
said TO have no foreign relations.
France has enjoyed a period Of peace for
twelve years. That has been far too short
an interval for the political education of the
people and the consolidation of the parties,
but it has been long enough to bring in the
vices Of peace, which flourish with special
luxuriance in Paris and other large French
cities. Though. the repose has brought
. wealth, it has not brought the strength and
/. unity of national feeling which President
q ,Grevy and his, friends anticipated. The
Communist element is vigorous and venom.
Gus among the workingmen of the cities,
who have became DISCONTINUED and envious
Of the prosperity of,their employers. Bis.
marck, who has the biggest brain of any
man in Europe says that war is the natu.
raj condition of.the human race. Without
endorsing the doctrine il may be taken as
general truth, that every strong nation is
proud Of IFS military armament and sensi.
tive TO the sights Of foreign governments.
A deep martial feeling pervades the French
people. Her military history till fifteen
years ago was something to be proud Of
Since the Franco-Prussian war they have
been smarting under the ignomny OF defeat |
and are anxious for revenge. Their i'm.
mensc army and powerful navy do nothing
10 sustain the national fame. The refusal
70 cooperate with England in Egypt has
mortified and Inundated the whole people.
This moment OF universal discontent and
wounded pride has been seized upon by the
internationalists, who have been quietly
'perfecting their connections with the social.
istic elements in Italy, Germany and Rus.

Our Next Governor.

M Editor As the time is not very far
distant when the Democracy of our good
old State will be called upon to name a can
dictate for Governor, permit me through the
columns OF your widely circulated journal
to suggest the name of Hon. Robert Ford,
OF ST. Mary's county, as one entirely worthy
OF the honor. While do not wish to say
word in detraction of the claims of other
gentlemen who may have aspirations in
that direction, am certain that no man who
is acquainted with the character of Judge
Ford will for one moment doubt that he
would prove most popular candidate, and
NIL the important office with all the dignity
and wisdom for which he is noted.
Having filled the position of Associate
Judge for many years, he has not been iden.
titled with any of the factional contests in
the party, and would bring into the con.
test with our common enemy none of that
bitter feeling which has unhappily been en-.
gendered of late years. believe that with
the nomination Of this distinguished gen.
tleman the Southern counties of the State
can be redeemed from Radical rule, and Ma.
ryland once more take her position as one
OF the States upon which no doubt can be
cast as to her allegiance to Democratic prln-
ciples.
MONTGOMERY DEMOCRAT

1t is significant fact that of all the GRIM
inals who were tried and convicted at the
late Term of our Court, embracing almost
every grade of crime, with the exception OF
murder, and their respective punishments
reaching from five years in the State peni-
tertiary down 10 eighteen months in the
House of Correction, all were negroes. 1t
strikes US that it would be we'll if the bril-
liant ~ editor of the Montgonserian would
turn his attention to the moral training of
his patrons, his supporters, his friends, his
wards. If he be unequal to the emergency
he can, during some of his leisure moments
this winter, whilst in Washington, visit the
decayed carcass of the Freedmen's Bureau,
where he will find hundreds of his philan-
thropic Republican friends still pecking at
its bones, who will gladly assist him in his
labor OF love.

dition of parties They know the dissen-
sions of leaders. They are aware that the
peasantry, if they are anything, are Imper-
ialists at heart. They understand that the
Royalists and the Orleanists, the Bonapart-
lists are only waiting to strike hands with
some successful leader who will transfer his
temporary power to them. They are for
the republic as little as for the empire, and
only wish for some temporary advantage
while things are passing through the period
Of change.
II the Prince Imperial were alive the re-
turn of the Bonapartsts to power would not
be improbable, for while the country people
would quickly rally to the name other ele-
ments and parties would be more than like
ly to throw themselves under that standard
which tended in the direction of social order
and stable government
The moderate friends of France, at home
and abroad, still look to Gambetta as the ma
tons chief hope The foreign correspond
ence from Europe states that most of the
newspapers of Paris are opposed to him,
and though he has large following of firm
friends in the Chamber of Deputies and can
thwart any measure of which he disapproves
he can accomplish but little useful legsla-
ton unless some of the opposition cliques
favor him. His return to power would be
regarded with pleasure in England, though
he is disliked in Germany. Its effect on do
nestle affairs and foreign politics would be
Immediately felt and far-reaching.
Regarded from any point Of view, the sit
uation in France Is deeply criticM. Those
who keep up with the history Of the present
hour, and who have studied and watched
the development and bearing Of the French
people cannot fail to recognize the fact that
the intellectual pabulum such as the novels
OF lola, on which the people at large feed,
and the lack Of education in the elementary
schools, does not help to solidify the nation
al character or give popular knowledge the
direction to national pcrmanency. In a re-
public the people must be the real source of
power, and there can be no stable govern
ment until they understand in what good
government consists.

The incident with which this lesson opens

reason is apparent for this unless we con

than the other apostles in recalling each
incident connected with the ministry of the
master. At Bethsaida, i. c., Bethsada
Julias, north of the Sea of Galilee, the
healing of this blind man occurred.
Friends bring him to Jesus. The same

engagement ut the merchants exchange.
AS for "Snuh." he watched the queer gen.
tleman out Of sight with kind of pathetic
curiosity. The rat had been Injured to
"chafling," and other branches of popular
street amusement, and so used to ridicule
on account of his puny frame and bristly
rcd hair, that it did not surprise him to
see this gentleman 90 eff, like every one
else, in spite of his steady eyes and clear
voice. For "Snub" didn't clearly remem-
ber TO ever before heard kind voice in
the whole course of his brief career. He
was still musing over the novelty when
the wagon turned down into Merchant
street, and the shadow of the Jail again
fell over his benumbed little soul.
But the man with the kind voice was
there before him, chattering ailably with
the captain in charge.
"H0w much will the maletactor's forfeit

ure charge WAS booked.
Ten dollars,n said the clerk with a
grin.
If an angel from heaven had risen out
of the floor to slow music and offered

had dreamed one did, he would no have

A Debt OF Honor.
PART l.
\ CRuMB TO A MOUSE.

1t was the wet forenoon of January
day, just two years ago, when the usual
gang Of idlers that hang about the ferry
wharves were delighted at having the
monotony of gazing out from under the
dripping awnings, broken by the singular
movements of couple of policemen.
One Of these well fed guardians of the
peace was on his kness beside hole bro.
ken through the flooring of neighboring Q
dock, and engaged in angrily issuing,
evidently disregarded, commands TO some
fugitive concealed beneath, while his fel.
low, with equal profanity and perspira-
tion endeavored to pry up loose board
fnrther along, for the purpose of also
gaining access to the offender.
"What's up? What's the matter?" asked
tho bystanders, crowding up, while the
passengers coming off the just-landed fer.
ry boat. stopped to look on.
The policemen, however, ignored the
inquiries leveled at them, with all the
haughtiness peculiar to the Celtic munici.
pal official of the period, for it is hardly
necessary to say that both belonged to the
favored race which Americans, with re.
markable modesty, employ to run their
own country for them. But when a bus.
tling citizen, who was evidently u mer.
chant and taxpayer. paused, and said
brusquely Hello, there, Mike! What arc
you after, Pat?" one of the blue and brass
luminaries looked up and growled out:
Nothing but wharf rat, zur."
"Then why didn't you send In dog, il
it's rat?" returned the me erchant, limo.
Gently. But the contemptuous criticism
of his ignorance, about to be made by the
officer, was interrupted just then by the
cries of the rodent in question, which ap
peared at tho first mentioned aperture in
