Turkey Will Fight Rather Than Allow Occupation. PERSIAN DESIGNS ON BAGDAD. Resignation of the Servian Ministry—The Difficulty with Austria, FRENCH PARLIAMENTARY CONFLICT. ferious Political Complications in Denmark. [BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Lonpox, Dec. 22, 1876. The last of the preliminary conferences has been , held, and the Porte has beon notified that tho plenipo- tentiaries are ready to commence their formal meet- ing. It is felt here that we are nearing the end, apd “that we shall soon know definitely whether there will be peace or war in the East. It is feared, however, that oven should the representatives of the Powers agree on | common programme, the Porte will fight sooner than allow any foreign occupation of Turkish territory. This feeling was expressed in very plain languago yesterday evening by the Pall Mall Gazette, aud as occupation, 1n some form, is likely to be de- manded by a majority of the Powers, it is dificult to sce how war can be averted. LAST OF THE PRELIMINARY CONFERENOR, Adespatch from Constantinople says:—‘The pre- liminary conference held its last sitting on Wednesday. Toe pienipotentiaries have agreed to formulate their { roposals in terms acceptable to all parties. ’” READY FOR THE FORMAL MEETING. Another despatch says that General Ignatieff, the Russian Ambassador, notitied the Porte on Wednesday that the plenipotentiaries were ready to commence the Plenary Conferenco, and asked the Porte to fixa day for its first meeting, RESULT OF THE PRELIMINARY MEETINGS, Asummary of the results of the preliminary con- ference at Constantinople is published here in official Porm this morning. According to this account, when Russia forbore insisting on occupying Bulgaria herself, Successive proposals for Roumanian and Belgian Decupation of that province were brought forward by Italy and France respectively. The objections to both being obvious, the tdea was put forward of employing a torce which should not partake of tho character of an army, but merely be escort to the European commissions which may have to watch the execution ofthe reforms. It was presumed that this force need not exceed 6,000 men, who might be obtained from a neutral country like Belgium, not as solaters, but as volunteers. The plenipotentiaries ultimately agreed on this outline project. RALISBURY YIELDS. The Marquis of Salisbury assented to itto avoid war, which would instantly have ensued if he had with- drawn {rom the conference. The proposal insures the peace of Europe for the moment and may admit of a farther adjustment in the full conference, We shall probably know by December 25 the disposition of the Porte, SWEEPING CHANGES PROPOSED. A despatch from Pera states that the reforms adopted by the preliminary Conference are very sweeping. They include the admission of Chris- tians into the Ottoman army and the traps. formation of the villayot ot Sophia into a Christian province under a Christian governor. Opinion is pretty equally divided as to whether the Porte will yield to the recommendations of the Powers. THK NEW GRAND VIZIER WELL RECEIVED It isstated that the Plenary Conference will moet on Saturday next, The Turkish constitution is to be promulgated immediately. The nomination of Midhat Pacha tothe Grand Vizierate has been very well re. ceived, and it isbelieved will hasten the solution of all difficulties, HOW IT 18 REGARDED IN BERLIN, A Berlin telegram says it is reported that the ap- pointment of midbat Pacha Grand Vizier is regarded at St. Petorsburg as a challenge to Russia, RESISTING “UNDUR FOREIGN INFLUENCE. ”? A despatch from Pera represents that Midhat Pacha’s eppointment means more vigorous action and fosistance to undue foreign influence, THX NEW TURKISH CONSTITUTION, The new constitution will be promulgated on Satur- day with great solemnity. All the public edifices will be illuminated in the evening. Djevdet Pacha has been provisionally appointed President of the State Council. THE PALI. MALL GAZETTE ON THR SITUATION. The Pall Mall Gazette of yesterday afternoon, ina Jeading article on the Eastern question, safd:—“It peace or war depends upon tho acceptance ofa pro- posal to garrison the European provinces of Turkey with Belgian or aay other foreign soldiery at the or- ders of a foreign State, there will be no peace, Our conviction is thatthe Saltan wil! refuse even to dis- cuas the scheme. Thore are abundant reasons for bo- pieving that the Porte means to make stand at any proposal of occupation under any digguise whatever, ‘Come and take what you ask for’ will be the Turk’s Foply to the Russian.’? THE TURK WILL riGHT. “We ourselves, it is to be hoped, would not hesitate a moment in such a situation. Why should we sup- pose that a determination which would seem natura, to us is out of the question with a warlike and fanati_ cal race like the Mussulmans? The wholo idcaisa delusion, as time, we fear, will but too shortly show.”’ The article also says:—“‘Wo have no doubt that, even if England formally withdrew all sapport from Turkoy, yet, if foreign occupation is put forward as an ultima- tum, tho Turks will fight.” MILITARY REQUISITIONS, A St. Petersburg telegram says it is reported that the law authorizing the making of requisitions in time of war will be put in force in Bessarabia ou January 1, RUSSIA STILL MOBILIZING. Besides getting ready for the levying of military fequisitions, Russia seems to think it necessary to call out more troops A Vienna despatch this morning says it is reported that Russia is considering the neces- sity of mobilizing two more army corps. PERSIA LIKRLY TO SEIZE BAGDAD, 1t is possible that in the event of war the Turks will bave more enemies to fight than the Russians and the Slave. A despatch from Teheran says it 1s considered not improbable that Persia will endeavor to occupy Bagdad in the event of war, BELGIUM AND OCCUPATION, A despatch from Brassels says the Government was interpellated to-day in the Chamber ot Repre- sentatives as to whether Belgium had been invitea to sund troopsinto Bulgaria, The Foreign Minister replied shat tho custom was to give notice of an in- terpellation beforehand, and he begged to be excused frow answering. NUTRAGE ON THE AUSTRIAN MONITOR. n irom Vienna says there is no trath in the repost published there that Frineo Wrede, the Austrian Consul General at Belgrade, will be recatied, and) that Austria contemplates sending troops to oc- cupy Servin on account of the firing on the monitor Marus vy the Servians, Servia has manifested tho NEW YORK greatest roadiness to give Austria the fullest satisfac. tion for the affair. THE SERVIAN MINISTRY. The incident has produced such an effect in Servia that the Ministry has resigned and Prince Milan bas accepted their resignation, The Ministers will remain g office pending the formation of a new Cabinet. IRRITATION IN HUNGARY. A special despatch trom Pesth reports that tho greatest irritation prevails there over the Maros affair. None of the Hungarian journals are satisfied with the dismissal of the Ristics Cabinet. They demand the occupation of Belgrade, Addresses are being sent to the Hungarian Ministry arging the Austro-Hungarian government to forcibly intervene for the protection of Turkey. NO SEVERE MEASURES TO BE USED. A later Vienna despateh says there is no tntention at Vienna of employing very severe measures with Servia in consequence of the Maros outrage, although the dismissal of the ‘Ministry ts considered insuflicient satisfaction. RUSSIAN SOCIALISTS. Eleven women and twenty-one men, stadents at the School of Medicine and Technological Institute, have been arrested for shouting ‘‘Liberty,’? aod unfurling a red flag bearing the inscription ‘Union and Liberty,”” at a service in the Kassan church. FINANCIAL CRISIB IN RUSSIA. A Berlin correspondent reports that the banking firm of Baimahoff, im St. Petersburg, has failed, with an nncovered deficit of 1,000,000 roubles. The com- mercial crisis continues unabated, ana is especially severe in the South of Russia. FAMINE IN MONTENEGRO. Russian papers report that famine bas made ita ap- pearance in Montenegro, THE SENATE AND THR ASSEMBLY IN FRANCE. Tn the Senate yesterday the reporter upon the esti- mates of the Minister of Justice claimed the Senate's right to accept or reject a bill as transinitted from tho Chamber of Deputies. The Deputies could again sup- press any item restored by the Senate if desired, since 8 law must havo the joint adhesion of the two houses. The items under discussion then passed by a voto of 236 against 42. The war and marine estimates wero then passed, the former including a grant of 103,690 francs for army chaplains, which was suppressed by the Chamber of Deputies and restored by the Senate by a vote of 229 to 45. THR CRISIS IN DENMARK, A Copenhagen correspondent says:—Afer threo days’ debate in the Chamber the Cabinet was beaten, by a vote of 61 to 22, on an item which the committee on the bill for ways and moans inserted in the bill The Cabinet will now, if it takes the advico of the conservative press, close the session and provide for expenses by royal ordinances. PROBABLE COMPLICATIONS. The consequence of this will be the citing of the en- tire Cabinet before the Rigsraad (Supreme Court) for high treason in breaking the constitution. It is be- heved that the court would find them not gallty, thus destroying the power of the Lower House to vote sup- plies. There appears to be no doubt that tho nation will refuse the payment of taxes even by force, as the radical press advocates. The situation is most critical, THR QUEEN TO OPEN PARLIAMENT IN PERSON. Itis announced that the Queen will open the next session of Parliament in person. DELAY OF BRENT’S DEPARTURE. Owing to dolay in the completion of the papers Charles Brent, the Louisville forger, will not leave tor the United States until Saturday. He will embark at Liverpool on board the Cunard line steamer Parthia, in charge of Inspector Shore, of the Home Depart- ment’s police, SMALLPOX IX LONDON.

AN INDIAN MASSACRE, STARTLING RUMOR OF DISASTER IN THE BIG HORN MOUNTAINS—MAJOR RANDALL'S coM- MAND DEFEATED—THE REPORT NOT FULLY BELIEVRD, BUT APPARENTLY CONFIRMED BY INDIANS. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) BOZEMAN, M. T., Dec, 21, 1876. A painful report is in circulation here stating that Major Randall, of General Crook's staff, and his entire party have been massacred by Indians in the Big Horn Mountains. Major Randall had been sent by General Crook to the camps of the Crow Indians on Stinking Water River to obtain scouts for his winter campaign. Randall got forty Crows and ten Snakes, and was returning to join General Crook at Old Fort Reno when he was attacked by a large force of hostiles. Major Randall, Mr. Fox (interpreter), a Sioux half- breed, and nearly all the Indians in Major Randall's party are said to have been killed. THE REPORT NOT CREDITED. General Brisbin, the commanding officer at Fort Ellis, says he does not yet believe the report, but fears it may be true. He has sent couriers to the Crow Agency to find out about it, STORY TOLD BY INDIANS. Mr. Gage, a citizen of the Yellowstone Valley, just in, says he heard the story from the Indians and that Stoux, Fox and Major Randall were killed. Charles Searles, an employé at the Crow Agency, sends word he saw an Indian who brought the same report, and Mr. Carpenter, of Upper Yellowstone, writes to the Quartermaster at Fort Ellis giving the same siory.

The Counting Programme To Be Insisted On by the House. VIEWS OF A REPUBLICAN SENATOR The Special Committee of the Senate on the Electoral Vote, BUTLER’S PLAN OF SETTLEMENT. Effect of the Abrogation of the Nine- teenth Joint Rule. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasuixctox, Dec, 21, 1876. THE PROGRAMME TO BE INSISTED ON BY THE HOUSE IN COUNTING THE BLECTORAL VOTE— THY COURSE OF PROCEDURE AS LAID DOWN BY A REPUBLICAN SENATOR—SENATOR MOR- TON PRONOUNCED Wnona, It is said to be the belief in the Senate that the House will insist upon the obeervance of the foll programme for the opening of the certificates @tho electoral vote, especially in the treatment of the doubt- ful onos likely to come [rom some of the Southern Statey:—The House will take tho position that after the President of the Senate has opened the certificates im the presence of the two houses, without discrimination and without other declaration than the mere fact of what they state os to the result of the elections, there his duties end, ant it will remain for the two houses to decide what shall bo done with the conflicting certificates. The Houso will resent positively the assumption that the Presi- dont of the Senate has any authority whatever to de- cide which of two sets of conflicting cer- tiflcates shall be selected. There will be, 60 says a prominent republican Senator, no appeal from the decision of the President of the Sonate, but when this condition of affairs is reached a Representative will ri jad announce :—*‘{ object;”” whereupon the two bouses will separate for consulta- tion, and as soon asa decision is reached as to what sball be done it shall be announced and further action will be accordingly taken. Ho further says: ‘1 is an erroneous opinion of Senator Morton that an appeal will be taken from the decision of the Presi- dent of the Senate, and if not sustained by both houses of Congross will fall. He adds that there is no such motion to be made, and that it would be futile to take any such position in case of a disagreement from the desision of the President of the Senate at the counting of tho electoral vote.’” THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF THE SENATE ON THE ELECTORAL VOTF. In the Senate, to-day, the Chair announced asa special committce of the Senate, authorized by the resolution of Mr. Edmunds, to act with a special com- mittee of the House in preparing a measure bost cal- calated to accomplish tho lawful counting of the elec- tsral votes, Messrs. Edmunds ot Vermont, Morton ot Indiana, Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, Logan of Iino, Thurman of Ohio, Bayard of Delaware and Ransom of North Carolina. THE HOUSE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON THE ELECTORAL VOTE—THE SENATE COMMITTEE SAID TO BE ‘ORGANIZED TO CONVICT.” Speaker Randall said this afternoon that he would announce to-morrow morning the committee on the part of the House to act jointly with the Senate Com. mitteo in devising a proper method of counting the clectoral vote. The Senate committee is said to have been “organized to convict,” as they say of courts martial. The minds of the republican members are already made up. The objection urged agalust Mr. Morton is that he is too extreme a partisan, and against Genoral Logan that he is not sufficiently well versed tn Parliamentary law. General regret was expreszod that Mr. Conkling had not been chosen on the committee. SENATOR MORTON REITERATES HIS OPINION AS TO THE POWERS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE—AN ARGUMENT FOR THROWING OUT DEMOCRATIC CERTIFICATES, During the debate on the Oregon case to-day Senator Morton reiterated substantially the opinion he has expressed heretofore—that the President of the Senate is entitled to decide which of two contlicting sets of certificates shall be accepted in the coynting of the electoral vote, He made an argument in behalf of throwing out certifi- cates of democrats where the conduct of the election had been characterized by spilling of blood and Intimi- dation, He insisted that the results were to bo thrown out where such things bad happened. The friends of Senator Morton claim that he is not waving the bloody shirt, but the democrats never lose an opportunity of waving it at him, which he as promptly resents. GENERAL BUTLER'’S PLAN FOR SETTLING THE PRESIDENTIAL MUDDLE—A COMPROMISE RE- GARDED AS IMPOSSIBLE AND A NEW ELEC- TION ADVISED, WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT TO FILL. THE INTERREGNUM. General B. F, Butler, who bas been in the city fora day or two, was atthe Treasury Department to-day, and while there, in conversation concerning tho Presi- dential trouble, stated that he did not believe it pos- sible for avy compromiso of tho question to be effected, He said that there hud been so mach taint attaching to the legality of the proceedings in several of the States connected with the late Presidential con- test that, in his judgment, it will be impracticable for either party to purge itself of the wrongs alleged against !t so a8 to satisfy the great mass of the Ameri- can people, who are anxious to see the right prevail iu the contest, Neither party would be contont to be- leve, by any possible showing, that the other ts not entirely in taait for the present condition of affairs. The General suggests that Congress go to work at once and pass a special election law, calling fora new elec- tion to take placo in May next, and have such safe- guards thrown around the election at all points as to proclude the chance of unfairness or fraud, either of registration or of subsequent canvass of the votes, and in that way hoaestly endeavor to have a fair expression of tho will of the majority, and havo that expression carried into effect by the inauguration of the Presi- dential candidate so chosen. In the mean time the acting Vice President ofthe United States could con. duet the government, and step out upon the inauguray tion of the candidate chosen by a majority of the electors, THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE OPENING OF MR, HEWITT'S LETTERS. Tn tho Houso to-day, on motion of Mr. Springer, of Illinois, the committee now in New York wore directed any letters passing through the New York Post Office had been tampered with, THE TROOPS AND THE ELECTIONS—A BILL TO KEEP THE TWO SEPARATE. In the House to-day Mr, Walker, of Virginia, intro- anced a bili providing for the repeal of sections 1,960, 5,209 and 5,528 of the Rovised Statutes and the am ment’ of section 2,002, so that it shall read as tol- lows :-~ No military or 1 officer, or other person Rs ed dn the civil, military or naval service of the ited States, shall order, bring, keep or have asides bie authority or control any troops or armed men at near the place where any general or special olecuon ja had in any Stato, either on the day of lection or for ten days prior or subsequent ‘herne, unless it be necessary to repel the armed et jon of the United States; and any person violating the Visions of this section shall be fined not more than $5,000 or suffer imprisonment at hard labor not loss than five years and be deprived from holding any office of honor, provt or trust under the United States, ‘The bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee, THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEYSHIP AT NEW XORK—-ADDITIONAL CANDIDATES FOR THR POSITION—-STRUGGLE OF THE As- PIRANTS. Nothing has yet been done in rogard to the United States District Attorneyship at New York, and it is FRIDAY, OECEMBER fald upon good authority that nething will be done ahout it until after the recess of Congress. Some additional candidates bavye been men- tioned, among them E. Delafield Smith and Gros- venor r. Lowry, partner of General John K. Porter. The struggle for the position is growing warmer. There is no indication yet sufficiently reliable who will be the successful candidate, nor will there be until the whee! has turned a few times more. General Daniel E. Sickles is also understood to have been @ candidate while bere, but he did not receive much encouragement. It is more than likely that some one not yet mentioned will get the prize. General Delafield Smith has published quite alengthy circular, covering numerous letters received by him composing a supposed influence and claiming also that he withdrew from the candidacy heretofore and ac- cepted the position of Corporation Counsel {which was brought about by Governor Tilden. Senator Conkling bas not yet signified which onc of the candidates, It any, he will favor. THE ABROGATION OF THE NINETEENTH JOINT RULE—HOW THE HOUSE CATERER TOOK AD+ VANTAGE OF THE SENATE'S ACTION—LIQUOR SELLING NO LONGER A FURTIVE BUSINESS. Quite agood joke 1s the result of the controversy about the alleged abrogation of the joint rales of Con- gress, It was noticed when the prescnt session began that the sale of Nquors at the House restaurant, which used to be a furtive business, was conducted without any attempt at concealment, the botties being plainly in sight and the liquors being drank without disguise or deception, On inquiry it turns out that the astute caterer examined the manual of Congress and found that tho restriction on his selling !quor was contained 1M the nineteenth joint rule, as follows :— No spirituous or malt liquors or wines shall be offered for sale or kept within the Capitol in any room or building connected therewith, or on the public grounds adjacent thereto, Aa the Joint rules were no longer in force the caterer inferred his right to sell liquor, and hence the change above referred to, The affair raises quite a laugh upon Mr. Randall, who persists in believing the rules are In force, while the pincteenth joint rule bids fair to be- come as famous as the twenty-second, especially as an invitation to drink is now worded as an invitation to “go down and suspen the nineteenth joint rule.” MR. CRONIN, THE DEMOCRATIC ELECTOR FROM OREGON, IN WASHINGTON. Mr. Cronin, the democratic elector from Orogon, arrived here this morning. He wason tho floor of the House for several hours and was introduced to a large namber of democratic Representatives. He did not attempt to delivor the electoral returns of the State to the presiding officer of the Senate, and in the course of conversation on the subject this evening said that he was vory busy all day, and that there was no particu- lar hurry about it.
