HOSTILITY To CARNOT
His Enemies Trying to Force
Him to Reign.
TWELVE MORE DEPUTIES ACCUSED.

TIL Greatest Interest In the Trial of the
rl.li.La i;ou;Ilers- Little Doubt as to
Incir Conviction and Speculation Rife
as to the Sentences They VIII Receive.
rAiIS, Jan. IA --To-day the gravest
ruIrr, are ahoat il regard to President
Cur..ot. Several of the Deputies who
have been most earnest in pushing the
Palarn,; Investigation make no secret of
J lliIs tI:y they viii not rest until
'-A...Ct IS fore d to resign.
Inc siren til of the case against the
President depends t;roa the creIibility of
B;...ut. tAc eX-Mi,. er of Public Works,
;,n CARROTS friends claim that no faith
Wa ever should he attached to Baihut's
III closures; that he is malignant against
Ca"..ot iur lot having protected him from
p osrcu,i"n, and that he wishes to drag
the President down with him.
en- tie other hand, it is pointed out by
the enemies of NJ. Carnot that Baihut's
Charge, agree with the facts as known
%i..l that Charles de Le.seps would prob
ably corrobOrate Baihut if he were per-
I mit,ed to T. veal all that he could. These
enemies OF Cannot argue that the trial OF
III two De Lesseps has been FASTENED
in order to bring them within the grasp
of NJ. Caruot and keep them silent as to
any connection of the head of the State
with Panama affairs They argue also
that NJ. Bourgeois has not been as earnest
as he night have been in bringing the
truth to light, and that the opposition OF
NJ. Bourgeois to the arrest of Baihut was
really based upon his fear that Baihut
might accuse his former fellow Minister
Carnut.
Meantime President Carnot preserves a
serene temper, and seems Indifferent to
the assaults upon him. These assaults
are not confined to himself. The Radicals
condemn Nine. Carnot for spending so
mach money on her dresses and trying to
initiate the grande DANES of the Fau-
borg St. Germain. In addition they pre-
tend that MOnarchist habits and customs
are invading the Elysee, and, therefore,
| its present occupants must be turned out
i'll the sacred interests Of the Republic.
Constans the mstigator.
NJ Constans is credited by nearly
| every one with being at the bottom OF
| the attack upon Carnot. He is known to
| have II bitter feeling toward the Presi-
| dent, OH account of his election from the
| Cabinet, and to be DESTROYS also of re-
| moving Carnot from the Presidential
| rivalry.
! Constants keeps very quiet and dis
clrims responsibility for the existing agi-
| tallou but his declalmer finds no Gre
dence among the we'll informed. AL
eyes are turned toward constants as the
| coming master, if not already the master,
| of the situation, from Republican
standpoint.
The other prominent figure is that Of
General Saussier, whose control of the
military i'll Paris would give him, in the
event Of an uprising, an all unlimited
| Opportunity to crafty his own ambition
or serve the purpose OF others. 1t is
known that Saussicr has been sounded
both by Royalists and Bonapartists, but
these have not found the slightest en-
couragemcnt for proceeding with theil
| approaches.
Agents of the Duke of Paris have
limited at a ducal or princal title and the
enormous revenues that would be the re
ward of treachcry on the part of Genera
