The condition of affairs in Paris is q
very serious one, and is calculated to
make every lover of democracy anxious
for the future of the French republic.
1t appears that when the Panama Ca
nal company was given power a year or
two ago to establish lottery by which
to raise money to continue work on
the canal, large number of members
of the French parliament were bribed
to vote for the measure. Thousands
of poor people throughout France who
lost money through the lottery or by
purchasing stock in the canal company
have been for some time clamoring Tor
the prosecution of these members who
were bribed, and have at last sue
ceeded, aided by the royalists, who
have eagerly siezed upon this scandal
for the purpose of bringing discre dit
upon the republic. One cabinet was
overthrown because it did not readily
consent to aid in the prosecution. Sew
eral senators and deputies have been
arrested and the public have become
very distrustful of all members of par
lament. The royalists make no Sc
cret of their expectation to raise rev.
olution and seat king upon the
throne of France once more. The fa-
tai flaw in their plan, however, lies in
the fact that they cannot agree upon
the man, as part are for Bourbon
and another part for Bonaparte. 1t
hardly seems credible that the intelli
sence of the French people will allar
them to revert to a Honarchy.
