COLUMBIA, SOUTH’S FUTURE LOWELL Paris, January 1#. — M. Caslmlr- Perier, who succeeded M. Sadi Carnot as the president of France, has re signed. He announced his resignation last evening at a specially summoned meeting of the cabinet, having previ- onsly told M. Challemel-Lacour, the president of the senate, of his inability to solve the problem presented by the resignation of Premier Dupuy. The news of the president's resigna tion spread like wild-fire throughout Paris, and was received everywhere with consternation amounting almost to paralysis. In the newspaper offices the first report was considered absurd, but was soon confirmed. Almost simul taneously crowds began gathering in front of the newspaper offices, and in tering yacht Lagomla and three cases of guns were brought to the surface. While Borden A Co. endeavor to treat the affair as trivial, they engaged the services of Baker A Drew, the most prominent law firm of Fernandina, to look after their interests. Mirandi and Martell, who pretended to leave Jacksonville for Fernandina, are still suspected of being in hiding in the house of a Cuban patriot sympa- i thizer. Two houses are being watched by United States marshals with in structions to detain them if they at tempt to leave, and It is rumored among the Cubans in Jacksonville that Marti, the leader of the insurrection move- ment.,is in Savannah.

Casimir-Perier, was made public before midnight and is as fol lows : "The President ot the republic has taken a resolution to resign his official (unctions. Mon day's proceedings and vote of the Chamber of deputies are In his eyes but secondary inci dents of the struggle that has begun against parliamentary regime and public liberty. He had hoped that the president of the republic, being unprovided with means of action, would remain outside the lines of party struggles, and that the political confidence of all parties would give him the necessary force and au thority He had hoped that those who had In spite of himself, had placed him In a position where he cannot defend himself, would under take the defence of the first magistrate of the State. He has requested the ministers to withdraw their resignations provisionally in order to assure the regular transmission of his powers to his successor. "Monsieur Charles Dupuy. president of the council, hss Informed the president and the chamber of deputies of the decision of the president of the republic and they are going to convoke parliament with urgency." Caalmir-Perier’s reference, in his pub lic communication, to his inability to defend himself in the presidency may be explained by the fact that as he was a sub-secretary of state in the cabinet which concluded the railway conven tions in 1883, he regarded the adverse vote on the subject in the chamber Monday as a personal reflection upon him, although he had no vote in the cabinet when the conventions were made. Whether this be the real reason for his resignation or not. it proves to what length he is prepared to go against the socialists, whom he regards as aiming at a revolution. M. Challemel-Lacour, president of the senate, in an interview late last night, said that it had not yet been de cided whether to convoke the National assembly to elect a successor to M. Casimir-Perier for the 18th or 19th in stant. He will probably announce the date today at the meeting of the senate and chamber of deputies. Extremist newspaper men received the news with jubilation. The editor of La Petite Republique was wildly elated, but considered it oertain that M. Casimir-Perier would be re-elected if he would be a candidate again. Oth erwise there is a consensus of opinion that Henri Brisson is certain to be elected to the presidency of the re public. . LOOKS LIKE DISSOLUTION.
