MILITARY CHARGE ON A BIOTOUS MoB. ‘The contest for Lincoln city was close and exciting and attended by great disorder. A large mob at one time held possession of the streets ; attacks were made on the polling yplaces, windows were smashed and-an attempt ‘was made to set fire to a hotel. The military were finally called in and -eharged upon and dispersed the rioters. Further disturbances were feared to-night, | bat at last accounts they had not been re- newed, the declaration of the result of the election having o tranquillizing effect on all FIGHTING AT OTHER POINTS. A mob broke into a liberal ‘Wolverhampton last night, dispersed the as- | semblage and destroyed the platform.

The Result of the Polling During Four Days—Conservatives Still Advancing— The Boroughs May Decide the Fate of the Gladstone Ministry. The reports of the progress of the British Par- amentary elections, which we publish in the HERALD to-day, are quite interesting. It will be | remembered that the nomination and election of members Of the British House of Commons com- menced last Friday, and have now continued four days. The remainder of the week will be con- sumed in completing the choices for boroughs, when | the elections for counties will begin. According to the reports that have veen sent across the Atlantic it would appear that about 180 members have been declared returned (including places where there | Were no contests), Of whom 107 are conservatives | and 73 liberals. It is true that the number so far | chosen is but three-elevenths of the total body of | the Commons, and would not constitute a safe basis to predict the general result, which will not be reached within ten days; but it has been pretty much, since 1832, upon Eng- ; isn boroughs that the fate of Britisn | Ministers has depended, The conservative | power in boroughs has been chiefly found in places | where the influence of the neighboring landed and | commercial aristocracy have procured the election of their candidates. The first guns from the cities and towns have at every general election told the story of the campaign, just as the returns from the great States of the Union indicate the tide of pop- | ular opinion at a Presidential election, About one- half of the boroughs in Great Britain and Ireland have been heard from—there are 376 in all, The proportion of successful candidates is three con- Servatives to two liberals, This a poor showing for @ majority in favor of Mr, Gladstone, as there has been nothing that experience during the last forty years has shown clearer than that the party that carries the boroughs will have control of the government. The progress during the past four days shows that many liberals have lost their seats, while the conservative loss | ig reckoned by only afew. Tne gain to the latter has beep continually increasing, giving some evi- dence that thousands of voters, who pow for the first time exercise the franchise, remember with gratitude the party and its leader, Disraell, to whom they are indebted for it. IN EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT the general eiection took place in November and opened, as on the present occasion, with the bor- oughs. On the first day 61 members were elected— 89 liberals, 22 conservatives; second day, 240 mem- bers—172 liberals, 68 conservatives, On the fourth day, when all but a few of the elections in cittes and towns were concluded, Gladstone had a ma- jority of 114. The country elections tnat followed were equally divided between his and Mr. Dis- Taeli’s supporters. The borough elections decided the matter, five reste ago, as they had on every borage: beiore back to the passage of the Retorm The report that “three liberals and two conser- vatives have been elected in Scotland” after two days’ polling does not augur that the Ministry is about lating its own beyond the Tweed. At the general election in 1868 out of fifty-three repre- sentatives chosen, to which Scotland is entitled, only eight were supporters of Mr. Disraelt. Mr. Gladstone is evidently the sufferer, as can be seen by the returns of the elections in the boroughs, which are the true criterion of the fate of the istry. THE CRISIS IN IRBLAND. The only report trom Ireland is that the home rulers are making gains. Irish questions are those upon which most ministries have been wreoked. Home rule is pow the great question before the British nation, and all the successes of the Irish nationalists, while beingineither gain nor defeat for liberals or conservatives, place either party that may attain power completely at the mercy Of this section that will appear in the next House of Commons, Mr, Butt, its leader, is re- garded as being as experienced and adroit as any chief opposea to him, ana there is no reason to doubt that he is heart and soul wrapped up in identifying his name with the triumph of the cause ; of Ireland, obtaining from her stronger sister the right of self-government.

Having failed to pay | taxation in 1818-19 the land was gold from him by the County Treasurer, and was purchased by the County Commissioners. The county held it for six | years, and 1p 1826 it was bougnut at commussioners’ | sale by H. Derringer, the tnventor of the well Known derringer pistol, Alter his death | in 1868, the heirs of the Coxe estate claimed | title to the land, averting that Derringer had not paid taxes on it for 1832-33, and that Judge Coxe, of Philadelphia, son of Terch Coxe, had bought it at the County Treasurer's sale in 1884, and entered upon the land and began im: | rovements, and hence these suits by the heirs of | Blency Derringer. The plaintiff are repre- | sented by ex-Uhief Justice Woodward, Judge Linn, of Williamsport (who was engaged {a ‘place of ex-Chiet Justice Thompson since his death) and Stanley Woodward, of this city, and Clarence Derringer, of Philadelphia.

A Catholic Archbishop Consigned to Prison— Government Case Against the Prelate of Posen—Papal Approval of the Conduct of the Bishop. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. ~ BERLAN, Feb. 3, 1874, Archbishop Ledochowski, who was arrested yes- teraay, has been sent to Ostrowo, in the Province of Posen, where he will be imprisoned, in accord- ance with the sentence of the court. The Prussian Prosecution Against the Archbishop ot Posen—Papal Defence of His Priestly Position, The Catnolic Archbishop Count Ledochowski, of Posen, has now, altogether, been fined 1,300 thalers, and consigned to prison for having appointed priests in contravention of the prison law, and for having threatened a priest ana religious teacher, Schroeter, with the greater excommuni- cation. As far as hus been reported to the Berlin authorities, the Archbishop has altogether ap- pointed forty-three priests contrary to the new German law regulating ecciesiastical appointments | in the Empire, In addition to the imprisonment of the Arch- bishop, che landrath of the circle of Posen has, by order of the Chief President, informed a village priest (Arndt), appointed, that he will be punished if he executes any ecclesiastical functions; that all such acts performed by him will be considered invalid, aud that all marriages performed by him will be held to be concubina ges, THE ARCHBISHOP’S STATEMENT OF HIS CASE. We give below the text of the letter addressed by Archbishop Count Ledochowski to the District Court in the matter of the priest, Arndt, at Filehne :— Having received a summons from the Royal Dis- trict Court, criminal division, to appear belore the Court, J nave the honor to state that the canonical institution of a clergyman to @ parish is an ex- clusively ecclesiastical act, which to execute every bishop Of a diocese is not only entitled, but also bound. by duty. For this reason it is impossible for me to rec e in this matter, as well as in every other which is exclusively of an ecclestasti- cal and spiritual nature, in the execution of my episcopal duties, the competency of any other authority than that of the Holy Apostolic See. Con- sequently my conscience does not permit me to appear before the Court, in order to defend myself on the charge of having insti- tuted the priest Anton Arndt, hitherto vicar at Czarnikan, to the parish of Filehne without in- forming previously the Chief President of my in- tention to do so, although admit the fact. With reference to the paragraphs quoted of the law lately passed on this subject, I beg to be per- mitted to declare that I, together with all other bishops of the monarchy, and already betore the laws came into force, have not failed to point out &t the competent quarter that the law in question is not compatible with the principles and dogmas of the Catholic Uhurch. Alter the publication of the law I have, together with the whole episcopate, declared to the iniperial and royal government that, without grossly violating my duties towards God and the Church, 1 could not assist in carrying out these laws, . Papal Approval of the Prelate’s Posi- tion. The following ts a translation of the text of the Pope’s letter to Archbishop Ledochowski, of Posen, on the subject of his position as a prelate of the Church, towards the Prussian government :— Rey. BroTHER—Greeting, Apostolic blessings. If at any time it has been God's pleasure to show to men that the fabric ot the Church is of Divine building, and that on that account all attacks di- rected against it by the powers of hell and the malice of man must be in vain, surely it is now, reverend brother, while this truth 1s forced upon the sight even of those who do not wish to see it, for He has permitted all to conspire for the de- struction of the Church. We see contempt, calumny, laws and temporal superiority arrayed against it, the effect of resolutions long formed brought to realization by protracied labor and developed by the most exasperated sect, which has almost everywhere secured supreme power. Its pro- Jessors are designated rebeis; its bishops are con- demnea by lay courts as agitators, persecuted with fines, deprived of their ofices and expelled the country. The Lyle orders are prohibited, the clergy is gagged, and, by arbitrary measures, prevented from exercising its office. Education of youth in the spirit of the Church ts tfor- bidden, in order that, on the one hand, the population may not be confirmed in the principles of religion, and that, on the other, the hope may vanish of able and faithful servants of the altar being trained up. In order to undermine the Rory of God the property dedicated to God ts robbed; even the chiei helmsman of the Church is kept in bondage in order that, though utterly despoiled, he may not govern the Church with freedom ac- cording to his powers. All this, reverend brother, makes your heart bleed, but it likewise rends our own; for, though we are grieved at the heavy [pokey of woe meted out specially to you—so eavy that by tne weight of our persecutions your health has been endangered—we see on the other hand, and beyond this, the evil spreading over the | whole of Europe to its full length and breadty, and, moreover, over other continents likewise, Nevertheless, the very magnitude of the evil and the uncommon breadth of tne diffusion gives the sure hope that deliverance ts close at hand; | for if God at a former time, when he desired to Save the world, permitted so many devilish per- pA tu even : te ora tir was not spared, we have cause to. ie. Bame Gog | is now, wae Thbrdied mi) a dH prepa the generally eventual regeneration, and for a triumph of the Church, at this moment deprived of all human assistance, and that by the visible Ppanilestation of His power He will compel even ié proudest hearts into obedience. Furthermore, reverend brother, you make the tokens of your love the dearer to Us the more you are aMicted with troubles, and magnanimousiy sacrifice every- thing, even life itseli, to the execution of your office; and the more resolutely and stanch’ you fight for the Church the more does our desire gain in intensity that you may be quickly restored to all the more complete health. The gifts from your diocesans which you have forwarded to us forced us to admire their fervent love, but have at the same time occasioned a cer- | tain regret because these alms are otfered by those who are themselves hemmed im on all sides by severe tribulation. Receive, therefore, the assur- ance of the deep gratitude of our heart, you as well as your clergy and your people, on behalf of whom we pray fervently to God, that He may give them the same spirit which he has given their pastor, and like rseverance in the hour of peril in which they ind themselves, May God grant them and you that uniailing unanimity which annihilates and exhausts all the power of the adversaries, in order thus to provide a tresh victory for the just cause and fresh glory for the Church. Meanwhile, as herald of the grace of God, and in proof o! our par- ticular attachment, we pronounce upon you and bovh your archdioceses our apostolic blessing.

Republican Caucus on the Louisiana Question. SHERMAN’S FINANCIAL SCHEME Opposition of the West and Southwest to Reduction of the Army. Wasttinaton, Feb. 3, 1874. Caucus on the Louisiana Question—No Election Agreed On—What Is To Be Done! An informal caucus on Louisiana affairs was held | at Senator West's house last night, at which Sena- tors Cameron, Morton, Frelinghuysen, Conkling, Logan, Terry and others were present. They | agreed on no new election, and decided to con- | tinue the debate on the question untti March 4— | the day of the adjournment of the Louisiana Legis- lature—so that Pinchback cannot be re-elected by that body. Ketlogg has pledged himself to appoint no one during the interim, so that the issue can be made fair and square during the November elec- tion; but, if party necessity requires it, obligates himself to appoint Collector Casey during the Interim; but they now pre‘er no appointment. The new boay after the November electfon will elect an entire new House and more than one-half of the Senate, on account of the large number of vacancies, There will be seven vacancies of hold-over Senators, which would prevent @ quorum, as required to organize, anti | these vacancies were filled. At this election a State Treasurer and all parish officers are to be elected, and the constitutional amendment on the Funding bill ts to be passed, so that tt will be one of the most important elections held tn the Stat e, At the last election Warmoth would have con- trolled the Senate by a combination of the hold-over Senators with the democrats, and they would bave controlled the organization of the new Senate by admitting such as they saw fit of the new Senators in the contested districts, of which there are twelve; but this plan was prevented by issuing the Antonie injunction, restraining all Senators other than those he named m the writ from acting in body, and by a mandamus compelling those whom he named to take seats in the body, which is an unheard of adaptation of law. ‘The Senators further agreed, in this West caucus, that if the House presents articles of impeachment against Durell, as Butler, the Chairman of the House Jndiciary Committee, has promised, they Will suspend ail business and dispose of the matter promptly, and, what Senators are generally very reticent about, was confidentially ex- pressed among them in this caucus, that there was no excuse or legal juetification for the Durell orders, and that his impeachment is the only method of saving the reputation of the republican party from disgrace, arising from the Louisiana troubles, On this point President Grant is sald to be very anxious, as itrelieves him trom the re- sponsibility of executing the orders of the Court, which Senators Frelinghuysen, Conkling and oth- ers contend he has no business to inquire into, but simply to execute, The caucus adjourned, the | participants pledged to secrecy, im order to prevent any developments of their plans, sena- tors West and Morton have, as already stated in these despatches, taken action to cause the resig- nation of Dureil, ana he in return has telegraphed Norton, hie assignee in bankruptcy, that it they wili continue Norton in office under his successor, beyond all peradventure of doubt, he would resign, but it is understood Norton is to transier certain real estate to a trustee for the use of life tenure of Judge Durell, so that he will not be left ina precarious position pecuni- arily. This Norton can well afford to do, as his \ assessed real estate in New Orleans alone amounts to $250,000. Pinchback and McMillan, finding that they are both euchered as things now stand, have been comparing notes and have had a reconcilia- lion, preparatory to a common interest in the impending struggle in Louisiana which they both intend to make very warm. McMil- lan left to-night and Pinchhack will leave in & few days direct for New Orleans. Pinchback has agreed to address the Kellogg, McMillan and McEnery Legislatures, and from their understanding agreed upon here they will assume this attitude :—Pinchback will allege that | he was keptout of the Senate because he is a | megro and through the duplicity of prominent re- publican Senators who have committed themselves ; to him ana since have gone back, com- | mitting themselves, also, to McMillan, where- | of he has produced satistactory evidence to Pinch- | back, The latter says that certain leading Sena- tors had a confidential knowledge of all concern- | ing the Norton $15,000 transaction, and some Sen- ators told him not to say anything about it; that he was foolish for having given up the money; that | all Senatorial elections were more or less effected by such proceedings. When Senator Morton made | but taking from this the garrison of eastern torts Gesirous of establishing a new class of clerks in addition to the four grades already in exist- ence. To the new grade it is Proposed to allow a Salary Of $900 & year, ‘The Assistant Secretary said that the business of the department had grown materially since the present organization Went into effect. Atthe same time they did not see @ necessity Of appointing expensive clerks. It was proposed, if the new grade were allowed, | to require all origina! appointments to ve made tn that grade and then to promote on the basis of ability from that into the higher grades as vacancies occurred, The committee also examined into the uses of the contingent fund of the depart. ment, There were some uses to which it was applied which it was considered might be limited to a smalier range. The hoilday excursions under the guise of bearing despatches and other applica- | tions of the fund it was thought might as well be | dispensed with. The Congressional printer, represented by his chief clerk, the former being tll, was also exam- ined by the committee on the question of salaries and contingent experfses of the government print- ing office. In answer to a question as to the rela- tive cost of printing and binding, a statement was read showing that in 1873 the printing for Congress and the departments cost $1,300,00, and binding $600,000, Mr. Clapp stated that the force of the office was entirely governed by the amount of work assigned to it by Congress and the Executive; that it was customary when work was slack to make a reduction; that the orders of Congress and the Departments were now very large, and it would be impossible to carry on the work in sea- sonabie time except the office were permitted to retain the present force. White the Sundry Appro- Priation bill is under consideration, the question of material and work will be brought up. The Sergeant-at-Arms, Postmaster and Captain of the Capitol Police were also belore the com- mittee. The Sergeant-at-Arms was in favor of the police. The object in the distribution of this patronage is to have as many States represented as possible. Each member, lt was stated, is ad- mitted to the corps upon the recommendations of State delegations in Congress. This explained to the committee the amount of strength developed by the police in some of the former attempts made to abolish the force. The Captain submitted a statement to show the salaries, duties and strength of the Capi- tol police. Among the duties mentioned was a list of windows and doors found opened and closed through the efforts of the police. The committee were not profoundly impressed with the arduous or dangerous nature of this exhibition of active operations, and wished to know what the twelve watchmen also employed had to do. In re- gard to pay, the Captain said it would be impossible for a police private to live on less than $1,800 a year. He also asserted that cheap men Would not perform the duties as well, and might be guilty of indiscretions which would not be toler- ated in a well paid corps, A proposition is before the committee to add a reasonable number of men to the Metropolitan Police, which is now in part paid by Congress, and turn the protection of the pubiic buildings over to their guardianship. This proposition was received with favor, and will, doubtless, be presented as the final result of the investigation. Secretary Rich- ardson will be before the committee again to- morrow on the expenses of the national loan; and on the next day, in company with Henry Sanford, General Superintendent of the Adams Express Company, wili explain about the express bills amounting to $250,000 last year. Comparative Dulness in the Senate. The Senate enjoyed aday of comparative ease and dignity after the morning hour, in which a multiplicity of business was offered in the way of Petitions, resolutions, reports, memorials and bills, which, if ever to be disposed of, the hands of time must move more slowly, or the active, well trained and methodic members of the body must be allowed by the inexperienced to go for- ward more expeditiously than they have been able to do for the past two montns. The Bankrupt bill Was taken up, and speeches were made on it by | Senators Edmunds, Frelinghuysen, Sher.nan and | Ogiesby. A portion of the amendments were adopted, and the bill i still before the Senate tor consideration. The West and Southwest Opposed to Re- duction of the Army. It is very evident that the Western and South- western members will be a unit against the reduc- | tion of the army. It is feared that this would necessitate the withdrawal of garrisons from some of the frontier posts where they are needed for the protection of exposed settlements. Then, too, there is some feeling in the fact that none of the Tepresentatives {from this section have been consulted as to the propriety of this re- duction. Though the army {s now nominally 30,000 strong, the actual available force is, from various causes, but about 21,000, and this reducing the force 5,000 men in- stead of making the number 25,000, as suggested, would in reality take that number from the avail- able force and make it but 16,000 men, an army so smali that if all could be placed on the fron- tier to watch and restrain the Indians it would | be hardly more than sufficient for that purpose; | the matter public Pinchback wrote him demanding am investigation and chal- | ! lenging the proof of any personal corrup- and the troops stili retained in the South- | ern States, it would leave the Territories poorly | defended. Mr. Dunnell, of Minnesota, commented tion on his part; but Representative Sypher and | on the speech of Mr. Wheeler, of New York. | others of the Louisiana delegation appealed to | who had charge of the bill, and who, on | | Senator Morton not to have an investigation, as it ;@ previous occasion, had said that be was would compromise Kellogg and prominent sup- | in favor of @ retrenchment of settlements, | | porters of his in the State by developing the vul- | and that, if the people did not want to see | | nerable points of their political conduct in this | their scalps, they had better withdraw from the | ¢' | Tweifth street, m * | corroborate | whole matter. Pinchback says that when Senator | Hamlin began to see the duplicity in the Pinch. | | back matter he offered a resolution forthwith | for his immediate admission and his vestigation alterwards, believing he had nothing to fear from it, Norton, the assignee in | 3, i bankruptcy, and nis friends, believing that this | some years since, when advocating the Northern | it | fight on the admission of Pinchback would cause | an eventual, if not an almost immediate, Impeach- | ment of Durell. They, therefore, through intrigue, | made a proposition to make up a purse for Pinch- back’s benetit if he would resign ali claims to the | Senatorship,. They believed that they thereby | would cause an arrangement to be made by which _ all further action by Congress in the Louisiana | matter would cease, In that event Durell had | | agreed to resign in the interest of the appointment | |‘of an acceptable friend of the Louisiana delegation | tn Congress, who would continue Norton in the | | assigneeship. To this proposition Pinchback, | | through Colonel Carter, his attorney, indignantly | refused to accede ; for Carter said that Pinchback | is neither a pauper nor a petty larceny thief, but yet will show his people that he is the best abused man of his race, and has as much intelligence and integrity and personal | honor a8 a majority of the Senators who profess | republicanism for votes, and deny practical re- | | aults to the race that continues to keep them in | power, as exhibited by their action in Pinchback's case.
