TEIE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: PARIS. The Change in the Presidency of the French Republic. AN History of tho Events Leading to the Ietirement of MacMalon. The Republican Covernment Consoli- dated 1n a Quiet and Conati- tutional Manner, Spectat Corresnondence of The Tribuns, Pams, Jan. §0,—Marshal ‘MacMahon’s resig- natton of the Presidency of France, and M. Jules Grevy's succession, fvero recefved nnd effected in a manner extromely quict, Thero was ho ex- citoment on the strects or In tho eafes, to spenk of.~.Tho police and milltary were prepared for any demonstration thut might bo made, but the precaution $vas unnCeessary; indeed, vonsider- ing thic importance of the cvent, the geuerally excltable and melodraniatic Parisfans behaved with more placidity than would the inhabitants of Chieago in slllar circumatanres, The news- papers did all the barkiog; the Parllamont ac- complished its work in an unusually quiet and parljamentary ways and the people on this ocea- sion stood nloofsqulctly obscersed, and now ap- plaud the ease with which they bave stipped from one President to another. But, although thocrists has been bridged so casily, it wasn most critienl one, nnd one which vory castly smight inva added another curious pazo to the troubled political Matory of France. Already the Marshal has served slx years out of soven,—tho Fronch Presidential term. 1t 1s dlflcult to any oxactly what party hio favors; the Republican hs cortaluly not odoriferons to hls nostrils. o Isn Lemtimist by family, and an Tmperialiss by’ military tratoing. So long as the . Monarchical prties were supremu in the Na- tional Assembl v, and the country bad not yet significd Its intention to establish the Republic, TE WAL A MODEL PRESIDENT. Tho Republicans have noted this all along; and the pertinacity with which he has favored the Conlition of Legltmiats, Orlcanlsts, Bonnpart- fats, and Clesleals has hind the effect of creat- ing intenso hatred among the Republicans to- ward ifm. ‘Thus, wlthough his term of office has been Jooked npon s & peaceful one, it has heen auything but that. Continual intrizucs have been in operation—alded and sbetted, it is openly sald, by tho ex-President—to over- throw or weaken the growing sirength of the new order of things. Yet, in spite of tho plots contivunlly beseiting thelr party, the Republienus have grown i strength until now they have a majority in Loth Mcuses. These recurring intrigues ‘bolween the Prestdont and the Benate, the major- fiy of which, up to the bth of e present month, Acge manatehieal, Jed to the famous 10th of May, when Jules Simon was percwptorily ousted by the Presidont. That afalr, looking at the past istory of France, might have created another ‘bloody revolution. It was, to oll intents and purposes, o Coup I'Etat. But the Republican porty has been disciplined to withstand all attompts to briog it to ruin,—attempta carried out by the De Broglie-Fourtou Cabinet, which ‘had adopted measures far exceeding In audaclty 1lioso which hud been the rule under the Second Emplre. In glancingat the composition of the bodics forming the Corps Lozislatil during the oxlstence of this Ministry a poing, I find the Ronateconstituted with oll the leading Monareli- {cal partics iu the majority, and witha firm Re- publican minorlty; while, in the Chamber of Deputles, 1 find n strong Repubilean mojorlty, * determined to look out for the welfaro of the countrs, and opposed to them a small bt com- poct minorkty, ab the hiead ol which wero such men os Rouner, Cassugmac, and Baravong, bent upon IR DESTRUCTION OF THE REFURLIC, ot whatever cost, At the clection of menbers in the place of those deccased, the Senntoal- ways placed o tho vacant scat a Legitimist, an Orlennist, n Bonapartist, or a Clerlenl, according to an understanding Letween the Coalition, The Senate, thusbecomting more and maro Monarehi- cal, kept urging the Marshal on to strinuent mensures againat the Republicsus, sud raising a8 many lesues hetween the President und them [y Dnnh)lc. But, whilc this was gomn on, tho Repubilenns of the Chamber of Duputles, re- cruited upon the death of . kome of its members, grew stroneor; und cach election also brought proot of the inereasing upnrobation of the veo- pla for the new order of things. Puring 1877 it beeame necessary to vote the appropriations for the Budeet ol 1878, which duty I8, according to the Coustitutlon, inctun- .
