of Paris Manifesto.

PARIS Jan. 9.-The imputation of guilt
in connection with Panama scandals
made against President Carnot has
thrown profound gloom over the COM
munity. This climax of shame is re-
ceived by the people more in sorrow than
in anger There is none OF the excitement
and long denunciations with which the
first series OF revelations was received.
The question everywhere considered by
sober people is:
"Can we live several months under a
government which is universally dis
credited and whose doom is sealedP
AS long as the power OF the people to
,irive out BY ballot their present servants
is not threatened, the majority will un-
doubtedly prefer to deal With the situa-
ton by constitutional means. 1t must
dangers are appalling. One of these
dangers developed yesterday. when
Baron Antonin de Jacksonville returned
from Madrid, where he had been Ia con-
sultation with the Count of Paris. n
meeting of most of the senator's and dep
uties of the right was held to hear the
baron's report. The subject Of discus
sion was manifesto from the count
which it is proposed to issue tomorrow.
1t was said on behalf OF tLe count that he
was ready TO assume any responsibility
which his fri 'nds in France might ask
him to assume.
NJ. Dufeuille, who is the count of Paris
real representative in France said to an
interviewer yesterday:
Certainly, il is most probable that his
Royal Highness will give TO France his
views--the views Of an honest man upon
the shame which dishonest Republicans
have dragged the realm OF his forefathers.
You can rest assured that nothing will be
done or said by his Royal Higness TO fer
ment disorder or throw discredit on
France. He will always keep his motto,
DO right and fear not"
Up to late hour last night nothing
could be learned regarding the delibera-
tions of the followers of the Count of
Paris. Their plans are guarded with the
utmost care. 1t is still true that anything
the Royalists may do will fail TO awaken
any sympathy among the masses. Their
influence is only to be feared in a GER
tain famous regiment OF the army where
Royalist sentiment prevails. Many cav
airy officers. hussars, chasseurs, dragons,
and cuirassiers belong to old noble fam
lilies, aud, under the existing circum-
stances, their sympathies are with the
monarchiai regime. Their influence,
however, is limited. aud the army, as a
whole, is intensely Republican.
The opposition TO tloquet has been un-
able to settle on candidate for presi-
dent of the chamber. Appearances lndi-
cate that he will be reelected in spite of
his seriously compromised position. 1t
j. the present intention Of his opponents
to abstain from voting.
The Panama prisoners have been re-
moved from Mazas prison TO the famous
old jail, Conciergerie, adjoining the
Palais de Justice.

spondent OF the Daily Chronicle says that

mating documents, signed by NJ. Bal

dent Carnot, at the time in question he
