*326. The Problem of a Permanent Government.*--Pending a diplomatic
adjustment, the Assembly was disposed to defer the establishment of a
permanent governmental system. But the problem could not long be kept
in the background. There were several possible solutions. A party of
Legitimists, i.e., adherents of the old Bourbon monarchy, was
resolved upon the establishment of a kingdom under the Count of
Chambord, grandson of the Charles X. who had been deposed at the
revolution of 1830. Similarly, a party of Orleanists was insistent
upon a restoration of the house of Orleans, overthrown in 1848, in the
person of the Count of Paris, a grandson of the citizen-king Louis
Philippe. A smaller group of those who, despite the discredit which
the house of Bonaparte had suffered in the war, remained loyal to the
Napoleonic tradition, was committed to a revival of the prostrate
empire of the captive Napoleon III. Finally, in Paris and some
portions of the outlying country there was uncompromising demand for
the definite establishment of a republic.[451] I
