The document opens with the following declaration:— “The republican government, which was already founded, has been completed by the election of two great assemblies. Universal suffrage has sanctioned the great constithtional results accomplished by the late Assembly. Power cannot have a higher origin. Never was a government more legitimately established.” CONSERVATISM. The statement reiterates the Presidential proclama- tion of January 13, maintaining that the existing insti- tutions ought not to be revised until honestly tried, and continues:— “These wise words will Ue our constant rule, The Freatness and future of the country depend upon the loyal practice of the constitutional laws. We shall in our relations with you and ip the preparation of future laws be faithful to the liberal conservative spirit which Inspired them. We shall insist upon fidelity Public functionaries will second our views by making the Republic under- Btood and appreciated. We sball tellthem the Repub- lic, more than any other form of government, must rest upon the sacred laws of religion, morality, family rights, respect for the imviolability of property and upon labor encouraged and honored.

No Power could view the termination of civil war in Spain with more sincere satistaction than France, COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT—FREE TRADE. “This pacification of the public mind at both extremities of Europe and the ardent desire for peace animating all peoples and governments will favor the prosecution of pending commercial negotiations. The approaching expiration of commercial treaties compels usto lay down a new economical régime. We shall seek by persevering in the wise policy of free trade to avoid perturbing industry.”’ ARMY AND NAVY. The statement refers to the necessity ot completing the reorganization of the army and of keeping pace With the other Powers in naval construction, INTERNAL ECONOMY —PUBLIC EDUCATION, In regard to internal administration it says:—‘'The yovernment, while seeking to reconcile important and msatly demanded liberties with the necessary preroga- live of the executivepower, will submit propositions in regard to the granting of degrees for superior education, and in regard to the composition of municipalities.” “AIBERTY, ORDER AND PRACE.”? The statement concludes as follows "It is not with- put emotion that we approach the first session of a Legislature under a constitutional Republic. We fore- tee possible difficulties, but hope they will be over- tome through your confidence in the superior, loyal wisdom of the President, through onr constant agree- ment with the two Chambers and through the general passionate desire to see France again rendered great by liberty, order and peace.’” POLITICAL PARTY FEELING. The republicans gencrally received the statement avorably. Some passages were much cheered, The Bonapartists protested against the sentence which denounces ‘military adventurers,” SENATORIAL ELECTIONS. The Senate to-day elected as its Secretary M. Rolom- det, of the Right. \ The election of the Duc de Broglie to the Senate was confirmed, notwithstanding the demand of M,. Tolain for an inquiry.

Léon Say, the Minister of Finance, at the request of the Khedive, has appointed M. Villet, the director of a department in the French Treasury, to assist in the reorganization of the Egyptian Finance Ministry. A SEVERE STORM SWEEPS OVER THE COUNTRY AND THE CAPITAL—HEAVY LOSSES OF PROP- ERTY—FATAL CASUALTIES. Loxpox, March 14, 1876. The reports of the effects of the storm of last Sunday which are being recieved from the Continent go to show that in France telegraphic communication was de- Tanged to an unprecedented extent. In Paris, roofs, chimneys and trees were blown down or carried away. Numerous casualties are reported, some of them fatal IN THE FLOODED DISTRICTS, ‘The damage in the districts which were flooded by the rivers is greatly increased in consequence of the gale, Numbers of the undermined houses along the Seine were blown down, ON THE COAST. ‘The gale was also violent on the French coast, ENGLAND. A YATAL DISASTER AND MANY CASUALTIES CAUSED BY THE RECENT GALE—TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION GENERALLY INTERRUPTED— THE FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL CONDI- ‘TION, Loxpon, March 14, 1876. ‘The gale of Sunday last was very violent and de- structive around tho entire coast, PERISHED OFF PORTLAND. Numerous shipping casualties are reported. An unknown brigantine was seen to founder off Portland at midday. All bands wero Jost. The sca was running tremendously high and it was impossi- ble to send assistance, THE TRLEGRAPHS, The telegraphs throughout the country are still de- ranged, and communication is slow and difficult, The weather continues unsettled, FAILURES ON CHANGE, This morning the stock market opened quiet and dull Three additional but unimportant failures have been announced in the House. . THE DAY OF SETTLEMENT, The Financier says:—In the Stock Exchange to-day (Monday) there was not much fresh business, atten- tion being largely occupied with the arrangement of the account, in preparation for Wednesday's settle- ment. This settlement has been looked forward to with a good deal of misgiving, and, although the in- stances of default among the members of the Stock Exchange were limited to two, and these unimportant, the tone at the closing was still somewhat uncertain, A feeling of relief will be experienced when the settlement is over. At tho same time the settlement bas been very extensively provided for, and this must tend greatly to facilitate the arrangement to-morrow and Wednesday. SILVER—THE DEMAND FOR BAR—RATRS AND FLOW OF THE METAL. The Times this morning in its financial article says:— “Bar silver was in strong demand yesterday, and in the absence of supplies was nominally qaoted at 534d. to 53%. per ounce. The more the circumstances under which the fail in silver has occurred are con- sidered the clearor docs it become that they could hardly have been more unfavorable to permanent re- covery. Apart from the diminished demand for export to the East, the demonetization by Germany, the tem- porary stoppage by several nations of their mints, and the increased production of mines, it seems to be ovi- dent that silver as a standard of value, either in com- bination with gold or by self, has had its day in Europe. To attempt to force this country into using it again as a legal tender side by side with gold is as impossibie as to restore tho old coaches in the placo of railways.” COMMERCIAL FAILURE, J. A. Hoffman & Co., merchants, of Nos. 14 and 15 Gresham street, E.C., have failed, Their liabilities are estimated at $350,000. CLOSING QUOTATIONS ON 'CHANGE, Loxpox, March 14—Evening. Stocks are rathor flat, and the transactions are mostly sales. Confidence is not thoroughly established. One additional failure—a small one—is announced this afternoon, Silver is stronger, at 53%¢d. a 54d. per ounce. THE TROUBLES IN THE COTTON TRADE. Maxcnesten, March 14, 1876, The Guardian ot this city says the transactions of various Liverpool brokers with the bankrupt firm of William Peers & Son, which formed the subject of an investigation last week, by the Liverpool Cotton Brokers’ Association, are now understood to have been more extensive than at first supposed. It is said one or two additional cases must be investigatea. Somo of the firm’s dealings have caused considerable complica- tion, as, though apparently sold to spinners, the cotton was really bought on the firm’s own account, and efforts are being mado to arrest such cotton, where practicable, for the benefit either ot the merchants, from whom It was obtained, or of the general creditors of the estate. THE UNITED STATES STEAMER FRANKLIN FROM PORT. Sovramrtoy, March 14, 1876, The United States steamer Franklin sailed to-day for Cherbourg and Gibraltar.

Loxpow, March 14, 1876, The Times’ Vienna special says that Belgrade was illuminated last night in honor of the battle of Mera- tovizza, JAPAN. THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE COREANS CON- CLUDED IN PEACE—BRITISH OFFICIAL NEWS CONTRADICTS A RUSSIAN REPORT OF WAR. Lonpoy, March 14, 1876, In the House of Commons this evening, Hon, Robert Bourke, one of the Under Secretaries for the: Foreign Department, replying to Sir Charles Dilke, member for Cholsea, said the Foreigr Office had received a telegram from Japan, March 8, announcing that the negotiations between Japan and Corea had been concluded, contra- dicting the St. Potersburg telegram that war had broken out between Japan and Corea. The Chineso government has assured the Japanese Mission at Pekin that they would not participate in any differ- ences between Japan and Corea, BRITISH RIFLEMEN, THE NATIONAL PREPARATIONS FOR A CONTEST IN AMERICA—INTERINSULAR CLUBS NEGO- TIATIONS—JOHN BULL SLIGHTLY OFFENDED. Lonpox, March 14, 1876, The National Rifle Association held its annual meet- ing to-day in this city. A report was presented which mentions that arrangements are being made to send a British team to the United States, under the presi- dency of Sir Henry Halford, to take part in the Cen- tennial rifle meeting next autumn, Sir Henry Halford made a statement showing the position of the negotiations in regard to the match for the champlonship of the world. Scotland, he said, persisted in her determination to send a Scotch team. Ireland was in that case resolved to do likewise, MUST DE MASTER. The association has resolved to have nothing what- ever to do withthe competition unless under its own auspices. He hoped, however, a compromise would be effected. SIR HENRY HALFORD ON THE CAUSE OF THE SHARPSHOOTERS’ HOME DIFFICULTY. Loxpox, March 15, 1876, The following additional particulars of yesterday’s meeting of the National Rifle Association are obtained from a detailed report published in the Standard:— Sir Henry Halford said the Irish club inquired if the Joint team to be sent to America would be composed in equal numbers of English, Irish and Scotch marksmen. He had replied that the selection of the team should be made by open competition, so that if twelve Irish- men proved tho best shots they should be sent out, Sir Henry added:—‘If the Scotch etub could be in- duced to withdraw its soparate team the Irish would do the same; bat there seemsto be no probability of this, therefore the contest will probably not take place. ”? WASHINGTON CORRUPTION DE- NOUNCED. THE NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE ON THE BEL- ENAP MATTER—THE HERALD'S EDITORIAL ON SENATOR GORDON READ AND INDORSED. ‘Trento, N. J., March 14, 1876, In the House this afternoon Mr. Youngblood, repub- lican, of Morris county, offered a substitute to the reso- jutions condemning corruption, &e, in the govern- ment at Washington, presented by Mr. Hendrickson on Thursday last, and which were then postponed until to-day, The substitute alters the phraseology of the origimal by condemning the “inefficiency and misman- agement of the Committee on Expenditures in the War Department, by which the chief witness against Bel- knap was allowed to escape, thereby preventing the speedy punishment of the offender;” and also “that the changes recently made in the officers of the House of Representatives at Washington are not im accordance with the sentiments herein expressed.’ These are the only alterations made, READING THE HERALD. Mr. Dopp (democrat) said he cordially accepted tho substitute. He sent to the clerk’s desk to be read (rom the HeraLp.of to-day the leading editorial, headed, “Senator Gérdon’s Speech on the Collection of the Whiskey Tax." The article was read in full. Mr. Dodd said he warmly approved ot its sentiments. ‘After the delivery o! speeches from both sides of the House, the democrats betas led by Measrs. Dodd, Egan and Hendrickson, and the republicans by Messrs, Youngblood, Griggs, Lewis and Halsey, the sabstitate was unanimously adopted, MISSISSIPPI JETTIES. Gatvestox, Tex., March 14, 1876.. The completion of the survey of this harbor by Lieutenant Quinn shows that tho Western point where, in June, 1875, there was only five feet of water, has entirely disappeared, and the soundings, at that particular spot, in crossing the inner bar, are entirely closed. The deep water of Galveston harbor channel has united with deep water opposite the end of the jetty and lacks only 750 feet of uniting with the deep water of Bolivar Channel When this connection 18 io there will be a depth of over eighteen feet on The inner bar. The gabions in the Jetty are covered with sand, The old Swash Channel 1s obliterated, and is now connected and forms a con- tinuatron of Galveston Island, The depth of weter in the shallowest spot at low tide is now fourteen and three-quarter feet; at ordinary high tide sixtoon feet? Before the city commenced tho pile breakwater there was only nine fect of water on the inner bar. The recent work by the government has confined the water to a single channel. The re- sults already obtained are very sntisfactory, ana there appears no doubt but that the jetty system as being ap- plied will terminate in giving Galveston eighteen to twenty feet of water over the bar. ATLANTIC, MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO RAILROAD. Ricumonp, Va., March 14, 1878. A bill of complaint hos been filed in the United States Cirouit Court by Francis Skiddy, William But- lor Duncan and 8. L. M. Barlow, of New York, through H. T.

A Majority in Both Legislative Houses Probably Secured, THE COUNCIL DEMOCRATIC. Enthusiastic Jubilation Among the Victors. THE UNITED STATES SENATORSHIP Coxconp, N, H., March 14, 1876. The election In New Hatmpsbire is over, and to-night the result is being discussed in every city, town and hamlet in the State, There never was a canvass in which there was a supremer confidence on the one side oracalmer waiting for events on the other, The ro- publicans would not admit for a moment the possibility of defeat and the democrats could not be induced to say more than that they hoped for a victory, Charges of corruption on the one side and of ffand on the other were freely made from day to day, and even riot and bloodshed were predicted. At Manchester the republicans pretended to think the assistance of the military would be necessary to prevent disturbance, but ajl these pretences were only parts of their PLAN OF THE CAMPA| A feverish canvass and feverish town meetings were essential eloments of their ticket, Both parties freely used the telegraph all day long, to better their chances by the dissemination of intelligence, true or false, all over the State. At tho polling places these despatches were read to the mob, and were received with acclama- tion by the side which had the victory. ly in the day came word that Lancaster bad elected a republican Moderator, and ,this raised high hopes, because last year the Moderator was a democrat, Tho election of the Moderator is prelim- inary to an election in a New Hampshire town, and consequently it has some significance as the first trial of strongth and as an indication of the fortunes of the day. Upon this early information it was assumed, not that Lancaster had undergone a political revolution, but that this result was the harbingor of other revolu- tions. Soon it was ascertained that Northfield, Gilford, Lisbon, Durham and Fembroke bad all chosen REPUBLICAN MODERATORS, and these being doubttul towns the republicans wore in higher feather tuan before. The only reply which the democrats could make to these despatches was to dis- cvedit them and to offset them by similar triumphs. ‘They failed, however, to contend successiully with the republican managers with this kind of thing, and as the day woro on even the republicans began to teel that they must have one or two big victories to en- thuse the party and bring out the laggards, THK NEWS FROM WARNER was of the kind to suit them. Warner isa democratic town, and there Colonel N. G, Ordway, not unknown to fame as the Sergeant-at-Arms at the national House of Representatives for ever so many Congresses, was elected Moderator by 36 majority. Here was a revolu- tion indeed, and it was not long until Canterbury was added as another surprising and unexpected victory. Everybody was electrified to hear that Canterbury had elected a republican Representative by 71 majority. Here was proof that the tactics of the lead- ers were succeeding in other parts of the State, tor the democrats carried the town last year, as it is claimed by tho republicans, by buying up the entire disposable population, Days and days ago, I heard that the democrats were to be outdone this year and that the republicans had money enongh to make Canterbury all right. Tho rosuit Proves that the people who told me this knew what they were talking about and that the seandal about brivery and corruption and the wholesale selling of votes in Now Hampshire has only 400 much foundation in fact, ANXIETY AT HEADQUARTERS, Tt was thus that all day long the tide of battle rolled, and when evening came there was apparently no rea. son for expecting anything short of a republican victory, A complete triumph for republicans means three things—that Governor Cheeney shall be elected by the people; that the majority of the Council shall be republican, and that the republicans shall havo at least a good working majority in the Legislature, The Council shares with the Governor the power of appointment to office, and it was feared, even at the republican headquarters, that three out of the five councilmen would be democratic. This would make a republican government more ornamental to tho State than useful to the party and it was a very great incentive to vigorous political action. Upon tho Legislature depends the selection of-a United States Senator to succeed Mr. Cragin, and this is a prize for which both parties are anxious. Messrs. Stearns, Rollins and Chandler are all anxious for it, and saw success for them only in a great victory to-day. Among the democrats similar aspirations were equally strong, and they fought their battle with a quiet desperation that at least deserved success. When the votes began to be counted, however, they were soon made to feel that the prognostications of the day and the conflacnce of the republicans previous to the election were not mere idle words, REPUBLICAN GAIXS were found in many democratic strongholds, and in thfs city their net gain is 136, The claim was that the gain in Concord would be 200, and it will be seen that the prediction was very nearly verified and that the victory is a very great ono in a State where every vote is hotly —con- tested, All through the evening the democrats havo conceded their defeat, and some of them are saying, rather dolefally, ‘We have met tne enemy and we are theirs.” The republicans, on the other hand, are jubi- lant, and still there are a few of them who await midnight with anxiety, fearing that, like last year, the dread hour might rob their victory of much of its glory. GOVERNOR CHENKY'S MAJORITY. Nothing was to come, however, that would reverse the judgment of what seemed inevitable from tho begin. ning, and the republican triumph isas greatas tho most sanguine politicians in the party claimed it would be. Governor Cheney's majority is put by his friends at from 1,500 to 2,000, but it is not probablo that it will exceed 1,000, Out of 199 towns Cheney has 31,163 and Marcey 28,936; scattering 310, This leaves Cheney a majority of 1,917, but the towns to be heard from are largely democratic, and can scarcely fail to reduco his majority to about the figures I have indicated. Tho republicans claim the Legislature by a majority of from 15 to 24, Including 8 out of the 12 Senators. It is likely they will bave in the Sen: Il they claim; but in the House their majority will not be so great, SOLACE POR THE DEMOCRATS. The 199 towns which have been heard from foot up 148 republican and 129 democratic, but the same rule appiies as in the case of the vote for Governor, and will reduce the figures materially. So far thero if & democratic net gain of eight in the House of Representatives, and this ought to give the House to the democrats, though it is not likely thoy will be allowed any such good fortune under the circamstauces. The only thing saved from | the wreck is the council, and this will stand three | democrate to two republicans, The republicans aro clearing a majority even in this, but {tis not likely that thoy will be gratified with a result which they so much desire, CHENEY'S MAJORITY FOR GOVERNOR ApovuT 1,200—REPUBLICAN PREPONDERANCE IN THE LEGISLATURE ASSURED. Coxconp, N. H., March 14, 1876, Tho returns of the clection boing received here are very full, and show decided republican gains throughout the State, The indications point to an etecion of P. C. Cheney (republican) Governor by the people, and there seems to b¢ no doubt that the republicans havo elected ® majority of tho Senators, The republicans claim NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1876.—TRIPLE SHKRT. that they shall have a majority in the House of at icast fifteen or twenty, though the democrats do not concede that the House is repub- lean, The republicans are confident that they have made a clean sweep and are very jubilant Sufficient figures have not yet been received to indicate precisely the status, £. H. Rollins, of the in State Committee, claims that’ the have elected nine out of the 3 that Cheney’s = majority will 1,600 | and ‘the majority in the be twenty or twenty-five, ‘There is little excitement i the city.

Wasuxetox March 14, 1876, The news from New Hampshire was taken quietly enough by both parties here to-night, The republicans are much encouraged by it, and the democrats are many of them frank enough to say that their hot headed Southern brethren of the Ben Hil! school needed a rebuke of some sort, and that a defeat of the party in Now Hampshire was about the cheapest wy it could be administered, provided it proves effectual enough to be beneficial in November, The repub- licans congratulate themselves that the Bel- knap seandal powerless to break up their y; but the ats say that the disclosure of either a week too late or a » early—they can’t tell which—to have eflect upon the election favorable to their way of thi ing. It was a week too curly, they say, because its ing power Was meantime Weakoned by the abor- mpt at impeachment and the ridiculous, if not action of the democratic committee, The republicans are anxious as to the complexion of the next Legislature, for the ‘reason that that body will choose a United States Senator, and that the re- publican majority in the Senate is now so slim that nota man more can be wasted alter the virtuous im- molation of Pinchback, CHARTER AND PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

Fortress Moxror, March 14, 1876, A battalion of marines and about 300 sailors from tho United States steamers Hartford, Plymouth, Vandalia, Huron and Marion came ashore this afternoon to drill in the fort, Thore wore twenty-three boats, and all formed in line and approached the shore, firing from six howitzers as they advanced. General Barry and the officers of the garrison were on the ramparts watching the manmuvres, On landing they formed and marchea into the fort, where they driiied for an hour, after which the troops of the garrison were drilléd and passed in review.
