Tho Trmes special from Pera says:—‘+At Tuesday's Ministeral council a disposition was manifested unfa- ‘Vorable to the protocol, especially the provisions con- Corning disarmament.” VaIN AND IDLE HOPES, Areaction from the sanguine hopes indulged in at the Conference has already commenced in Vienna, Both the diplomatic action which was to havo followed the siguature of the proto- col, and tho pourparlers about disarma- ment have, it seems, encountered difiiculties. On the part of Russia latent antagonism again comes into the and the Porte seems rather the steps taken by the Powers in passing a resolution without its consent and thus placing it in a manner outside tho Pale of the Treaty of Paris. Still, despite first un- favorable impressions, there seems to be no intention Wo precipitate matters, THK BAMUOOZLED MONTENEGRINS, The Montenegrin delegates now in Constantinople bad an interview yesterday with Safvet Pacba, Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, They maintained ali their pre- Vious demands, including the cession of Nicsics, Koutch: and Kolatehin, and requested of Safvet Pacha ® categorical reply, cithor of acceptance or refusal, The Minister respondod that tho Montenegrins ought to yield these points, Ho stated he could not give Gefinite reply to-day, as it was necessary to examine the question again. The Montenegrins then informed Satvet Pacha they were instructed to maintain the demand absolutely,. and would leave Con- stantinople during next week in the event of receiving Sdofinitive refusal A Times’ Cottinge despatch says that overything !s tranquil in Montenegro, but there is no indication of yielding. Great aestitution pre- vails in some parts, but quantities of grain (rom Russia are being landed and forwarded to relieve the popula tion, BISMARCK’S RETIREMENT, It fs now proposed that, for tne time of Prince Bis- Marck’s retiroment, the Vice Chancellor be appointed Orst Minister of the Crown, with {ull personal respon- ‘ibihty, This requires the sanction of Parliament, and a motion will be submisted to the Reichstag upon its reassembling, Tho Prince does not, however, in- tend to await the decision of the House, but Propases to leave before it reassembies if the weather will permit The better in- formed journals of this country deny that the Chancellor’s resignation was prompted by any question of foreign polities, During his ‘absence Prince Bismarck will be accompanied by bis son, Hubert, a momber of the diplomatic service, who has obtained leave ot absence for that purpose, ‘THR RESULT IN THN RBICHSTAG. The prevailing impression relative to Prince Bis- marck’s resignation in Berlin seems less despondent than might have been expocted, The opinion of the Optimist majority is that there is nothing particular going on just now to retain Prince Bismarck if he requires rest. Politicians, however, attach graver importance tothe unforeseen event. Not much discrimination is needed to predict that even ifthe Cabinet remain the same achange is likely to come over the Reichstag. The moderate liberal party, which has supported Prince Bismarck for the last twelve years, has been kept together less by unanimity of sentiment or approval of all the Chancellor’s acts than by con- fidence in bis statesmansbip. Even the radicals in many instances supported Princo Bismarck, and, as a rule, acted rather as monitors and unplesant ertics than as avowed and implacable advorsaries, 1t is hardly to be oxpocted that the same indulgence will be extended to bis successor, and there is every pros- Pect of the tone of Parliament becoming more that of an opposition in consequence of Prince Bismarck’s Fetirement. Not that a very violent eampaign is likely to commence against the Cabinet while it holds to the general course inaugurated by the outgoing Premier, for there is nothing to call forth a vory anxious desire for improvement as long as there is no at. tempt at reaction. Tho Cabinet will probably experience somo difficulty in despatching ordi- Bary administrative business when deprived of their chief, Thoro is no doubt the conservatives and ultra- montanes hope to profit by Prince Bismarck’s retire- ment to procure a chango of system, yet there is little chance of the realization of these expectations. Prince Bismarck’s general programme is too necessary to be abandoned by the Emperor and nation. Not even an absolute rupture between the Cabinet and liberals could produce such a result, as such a rupture, were it 40 occur, would more likely arise trom Parliament sur- passing the Cabinet in covservatism relative to com- mercial affairs taan in political liberalism, The pros- pect of the conservatives attaining offico is thus very small indeed. Neither will tho particularists profit by the retirement of the Prince. German unity is too firmly based on law, power and necessity to pormit of being curtailed by the retirement of an individual, ARRANGING POR HIS SUCCKSSOR, To complete the foregoing sketch of the situation it is necossary to remomber that Prince Bismarck, though receding into the background, sttll remains tho dominant figure on the stage, Wnhother he be per- mitted to retire absolutely, or whothor he will be per- suaded to content nimself with a year’s furlough, all aro convinced that any emorgency would call nim to the front again, There was great difficulty, it appears, in arranging the plan for the administration of affairs during Prince Bismarck’s absence. The plan seoms to suit no party, aud 1 will be sharply crisicised in the Reichstag. Nobody is satisfied to seo the Premiership suspended in air for a year. The Reichstag may also resent tho proposal to have the Government represented so long by under oficials, The many rumors circulated about Prince Rismarck’s motives rather increaso the obscurity. His health, of course, 13 broken, and his friends have Jong been pressing him torotire, His wife and his own family are particularly pleased that he is to have arespite, and both they and his enemies hopo this is the first step toward final rotirement. 1t is indeed doubtful whether he will ever return to the personal and active management of affairs, But while this view i rally accepted, his reasons for retiring by means of the circuitous routo of a furlough are unknown, It is only supposed that the Emperor, in the disturbed stato of Europe, wishes to rotain the powor of calling Prince Bismarck back again at any time in case of emergency. Evon if Prince Bismarck’s retirement is complete, the change will be chiefly personal, and no new policy will be introduced. The Kreuz Zeitung, ot Berlin, says the question of Bismarck’s retirement will not bo decided until the Crown Prince returns from Hanover. NO UNASINESS FELT, Any provisional arrangement, such as the appoint- ment of Camphausen, Hoffmann and Bilow as rep. resentatives of the Chancellor in his several functions would be greatly disliked, Therefore it is very probable that the liberals will retuse assent to such proposal, They will demand the appointment of a responsible representative of the Chancellor, The na- tional liberals profess that they porgonally dosire and confidently hope that Bismarck's retirement will be only temporary, They declare, however, that they will oppose energetically the creation of a provi- sional government, The opinion begins to prevail that Bismarck will after al) be satisfied with a furlough of several months The affair is mot regarded so seri- ously as it was at first. It will be rememberod that in 1873 Bismarck tenderod his resignation und ap. peared to insist upon ne acceptance, Some such arrangement as was then made will probably be adopwed now. Already it is rumored that Camphausen will become Vice Chancellor, Bismarck remaining Chancel- lor, but not intertering in affairs — unie: bis advice is requested. Camphausen is ex- pected tw foltow itsmarck's policy, except as rogards the Svate purchase of the railways, which project has apparently totally failed, The Standard’s correspondent at Vienna telegraphs that a report ts credited there that Bismarck resigned because the King of Saxony complained to the Empe- tor of tho Chancellor's attitude toward Saxony on the question of the seat of the new Supreme Court of | the Empire.

DOMINION OF CANADA. SIGNIFICANT DEMONSTRATION OF LABORERS— FORCING THEIR WAY INTO PARLIAMENT— RESOLUTIONS OF CENSURE ON THE PREMIER— WHAT DOES IT MEAN? (ey TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, ] Otrawa, Oot., April 5, 1877. One of the most significant demonstrations of workingmen ever witnessed in Canada occurred here at noon to-day. It appears that some time ago the Minister of Public Works, who ts also Premier, sanctioned the reduction of the wagos of laborers, from $1 25 to ninety centeaday, This, in connection with the existent industrial depression produced great dissatisfaction, which found vent to-day in a public and porsonal appeal to the bead of the government, A large procession was organized and marched to the Parliament buildings SNUDBED BY THE PREMIER, A committee was sent in to ask an interview of the Premier, but the latter shut the door in their faces and refused to appear. A report to this effoct heing made to the body of processionists they marchea into the butiding ana demanded to be heara. At this juncture Hon, Peter Mitchell, formerly Minister of Marine, and member of the opposition, mado a tew brief concilia- tory remarks, after which they returned to tne grounds, where they passed resolutions in condemnation of the Premier and calling on the workingmen of Canada to resent the insalt offered their representatives, fhe meeting was orderly and dispersed alter giving three cheers for John Macdonald, leader of the opposition This action is regarded as being important and as in- dieating the drittof sentiment among this clags, and that a change of public opinion is going on with refer. ence to the course of the present administration. The whole police force here is now under arms. The logigiation in the Dominion Parliament has thus far been comparativoly insignificant, most of the time being occupied in making frivolous speeches.

COX VISITING THE LEGISLATURES. (BY TELEGRAPH To THE HERALD.) New Or.eays, April 6, 1877, Public interest is now concentrated on the commis- sion, and its operations are looked forward tw with general anxiety. Ex-Governor Brown, of Tenneaseo, arrived to-day and the others will arrive at ball-past ten o’clock to-night. In an interview held to-day Governor Brown said that as yet the commission had arranged no definite plan of action and would notde- cide upon one until they had thoroughly examined the situation, He could, bowever, give the assurance that they woula investigate nothing with regard to the eleo- tion, but would take the situation as it exists as a basis for their operations, Many of the leading citizens bave already called upon Governor Brown, and the en- tire commission will be well received. Hon. 8 & Cox, of New York, arrived last night, and to-day visited both Legislatures and the Cotton Ex- chan, At the Packard House he made a ghort speech wo jee mombers, which was, however, without political Dt, \ Pern representatives of Northern nowspapers are daily arriving. REPUBLICAN CAUCUS, Governor Packard's friends had an advisory caucus last night, and, ns it 1s now understood, counselied kim to.accept the inevitable. In fact, the republicun lead- era generally admit, in confidence, that their cause is Jost; still they cling together for the purpose of mak- ing the best terms possible, A better foeling is also noticeable among the democratic leaders, and the pros- pects of an early and amicable settlement have do- cidedly tmproved during the past two days.
