| | THE FRENCH REPUBLIC MacMahon Appoints Another Cab- inet of Monarchists, M. POUYER-QUERTIER PRIME MINISTER A Temporary Expedient to Stave Off the Inevitable. SKETCHES OF THE MINISTERS. Awaiting the Result of the De- partmental Elections. THE DUKE DE BROGLIE DEFEATED, [Bx caBLE To THE HERALD. ] Panis, Nov. 5, 1877. The Soir yesterday evening announced the formation of a new Cabinet to take the place of the Duke de Broglie and his colleagues, who have finally decided not to face the new Chamber of Deputies. The new Cab- inct will, of course, be merely one of tran- Rition, its principal business being to meet the Chamber and carry on the government until the Marshal can see exactly what Course he will have to take. THE NEW MINISTERS, ‘Tne following is the list published by the Soir :— President of the Council and Minister of Finance—M. Pouyer-Quertier, Minister of the Interior—M. Welche. Minister of Foreign Affhirs—Marquis de Vogue, . Minister of Justice—M. Delsol. Minister of Public Instruction—M, Jean- Baptiste Dumas, Minister of Public Works—M. De Mont- golfier. Minister of Agricalture—M. Clément. ‘The portfolios of War and Marine are not @nnounced, M. POUXER-QUERTIER, M. Augustin Thomas Pouyer-Quoertier is s large manufacturer, and before the war ‘was principally known as a strong pro- tectionist, who offered a strenuous opposi- tion to the commeroial treaty with England. Born in 1820 at Etoutteville-en-Caux (Seine- Tnférieure), he was elected Mayor of Fleury- Gur-Andelle in 1854. In 1857 he was @lected' to the Corps Législatif as an Official candidate. His persistent oppo- sition to the commercial treaty, however, brought him somewhat into disfavor with the imperial government, and at the general elections in 1869 he was deprived of the Official candidature and failed 1o secure his seat, An attempt on Paris a few months later also proved a failure, and he did not again appear as a legislator till 1871, when he was returned to the National Assembly from the Scine-Inférieure, He was ap- pointed Minister of Finance in the first ‘Woncilintion Cabinet” of M. Thiers, and assisted M. Jules Favre in the peace negotiations, accompanying him to Berlin for that purpose, On his re- turn to France he issued the call for a loan to pay off the war indemnity which was re- Bponded to with such alacrity and devised Bschemo of taxation which was very suc- cessful in enabling the government to meet the terrible strain which was put upon it. In 1872 some evidence given by M. Pouyer- Quertier, in the caso of M. Janvier. de la Motte, so displeased his colleagues, MM. Dufaure and Casimir-Perier, that he was compelled to retire from the Cabinet. Re- turning to his place in the Assembly he voted invariably with the RightCentre. M. Pouyer-Quertier is at present a member ot tho Senate, THE MARQUIS DE VOGUE. Leonce, Marquis de Vogué, the new For- tign Minister, is a veteran politician, who has from time to time changed his opinions, but 15 at present classed as a Legitimist. Born in Paris in 1805, he entered the army in 1823 ns a sub-licutenant of cavalry. He took part in the Spanish expedition and in the siego of Algiers, but after the revolution of 1830 resigned his commission rather than take the oath of allegiance to Loui: Philippe, devoting himself for many years subsequently to agricultural pursuits. Elected to the Chamber in 1848, he accepted the Republic, and was for a time associated with Felix Pyat. Ina short time, however, he became a supporter of Louis Napoleon, but after the coup d'état retired to his estates, He was prosecuted shortly afterward for circulating a letter of the Count de Chambord, and was defended by the famous M. Berryer. From that time he lived in retirement until 1871, when he was elected to the National Assembly. JEAN-BAPTISTE DUMAS, Jean-Baptiste Dumas, the new Minister of Public Instruction, is a celebrated chemist, and in political opinion o strong Bonapartist, Born ot Aixis (Gard) in 1800, he has long been known as a writer and lec- turer on scientific subjects. Elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1849, he gt once ranged himself on the sido of the Prince President, and was | W YORK HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1877.-WITH SUPPLEMENT, appointed Minister of Commerce and Agri- culture in 1850. After the coup d'état he was appointed a Senator and a member of the Superior Council of Public Instruction. He has always taken an active part in edu- cational reforms and bas great influence with scientific and literary men. MM, WELCHE, MONIGOLYIER AND DELSOL. M. Welche is Prefect of the Department of the Nord and MM. Montgolfier and Del- sol are members of the Senate, M. GONTAUT-BIEON, The Prangais denies the truth of the re- port that M. de Gontaut-Biron, French Am- bassador to Germany, has resigned. THE DEPARTMENTAL ELECTIONS. Little was known at midnight of the results of the elections for members of the Councils-General, which were held yes- terday. DE BROGLIE DEVEATED. The returns so far received show that the Duke de Broglie and Admiral Ronciére le Noury havo failed of re-election, and M. Fouquet, Bonapartist, has been elected in place of the former. REPUBLICANS AHEAD, @ Later returns show that twenty-eight republicans and nine conservatives have been elected to the Councils General, and the republicans have eight new members. The Duke de Brog- lie’s defeat by a Bonapartist will doubtless create a great sensation and have consider- able influence on the decisions of the gov- ernment, THE PENNSYLYANIA ELECTION, A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY PRESAGED—STRENGTH O¥ THE GREENBACK-LABOR MOVEMENT, (py TELEGEAPH 10 THE HERALD.) Harnisavra, Pa., Nov. 4, 1877. The political canvass, which !s about cjosing, has been one of the most spiritiess in the history of Pean- Sylvaria political campaigns. Outsido of Philadel- phia, Allegheny and a few of tho larger cities, vory fow mags moetings bave been held by olthor party, and at nearly all the number of people in attendance was small and the old-time enthusiasm lucktng, In thie city the greenback labor party had the only demonstration of the campaign aud it failed to attract acrowd. In view of the duinesa of the canvuse it 13 ebtimouted by good judges that tho total vote will fall off 140,000 as compared with that cast at the last Presidential election when 759,000 votes were polled and Hayes bid a plurality of over 17,000, SPECULATIONS ON TUK RESULT. As to the result of Tucsday’s election the seatiment bere is almost universal that tho democrats will not only wipe out the republican majority of last year, but will put from 10,000 to 15,000 on the other side, Tho democratic success in Ohio bas Inspired them with confidence, and they will cast a much larger vote, relatively, than their opponents, who have not only vecn dispirited by the result in Ohio but who have become Indifferent in the republican cause because of Hayes’ policy, Tho democrats expect sufficient gains jo Philadeiphia, Aplegneny and Lancaster counties, which gave the republicans 32,000 majority last year, to give them a victory. THE GRERNBACK-LAUOR TICKET, It ig difficult to approximate the vote of the Green- | back-labor ticket, but it is sufe to place it at n0 more than forty thousand, the counties of Philadelphia, Al- Jegheny and Luzerne turnisbing the bulk, Tbe only county in which the democrats foar that it will hart them ts Luzerne, where the movement has developed unexpected strength amoung tho Irish. In this county the republican major- ity of 2000 will be reduced nearly one-half, much of which diminution will be duo to the Valley favorable greenback-labor vote in the Lykens coal districts, whch have heretofore been lar; publican, The Pairiol, to-inurrow, of approximate majorities in ull ¢! information obtained trom trustworthy sources, which give the democrats 14,000 majority In the State, FATALITIES OF A DAY.

A few minutes after twelve o’clock last night, as tho watcbinan of the Ledger building was imuking his usual rounds, he discovered a open window in the rear of Yates & Co.’s largo clothing house, which oc- cupics almost the cotire frontage of this building on Chestnut street, The store bas, besides its extensive frontage, an entrance on Sixth street, adjoining tho Philadelpnia office of the New York Heratp, and possesses in this way large facilities of eutrance and exit, Upon culliog for assistance an inspection of the premises mado it ovident thata robbery had beon committed, and by some one thoroughly ucquainted with the premises. * EXAMINATION OF TUS PREMISES, In the couatruction of the building large monoy vaults had been built in the basement directly undor the front pavement, secured by double irou doors, aud in every way considered pertectly secure, A rigid examination of the premises revealed the fact that the outer door of oue of these vai had been opened with fulse keys, two of whieh were found near the entrance, aud the ianer door had beou ap; forced, sir.

Another Feint Made Againet Plevna. PROTESTS FROM THE ROUMANIANS. Evident Purpose of the Russians to Cross the Balkans Before Winter. DESPERATE CONDITION OF KARS. —-— {BY CABLE TO THE HERALD] Lonvon, Nov. 5, 1877. The Times’ Vienna corresponaent is informed from an invariably trustworthy source that on the 19th of October the Russians and Roumanians as saulted the Turkish positions at Plevna from the east, and were repulsed with considerable loss. It t3 possible, and even probable, that this attack was merely intended to distract Osman Pacha's | attention from the attempt of tie Russians to establish themselves on the Sofla road. UNHAPPY ROUMANIANS, ‘There 1s much discontent in Roumanta concern- ing the war. There is hardly’a family in Moldavia’ which has not lost a relative. The tull strength of the Roumanian army was seat into the fleld at the beginning of the war. THEY WILL NOT ENDURE I, Some companies now have only one ofiicer, and, as there are no reserve officers to replace those who have been killed the army is disorgan- ized. Alter the engagement of the 19th the Rou- Manians threatened to mutiny if any turther at- tempts were made to lead them to certain death. NO STEPS TO THE REAR. The Roumanian Chambers will be convoked at the latest possible date, and immediately re- Prorogued; thus all the chance of Roumania’s Tetiring from the war seems to have vanished. RUSSIA WILL RE-ENTER ROUMBLIA ‘The same correspondent, commenting on the ru- mors that the Russians are going to attempt to cross the Balkans this year, says" {t is a fact that large bodies of troops are being massed at Tir- nove, and reinforcements which are constantly ar- riving are being echeloned on the Sistova, Bjcla and Tirnova line. DESIRE PARENT OF THE HOPE. “The idea has been raptdly gaining ground in St. Petersburg,” says a correspondent at the Russian capital, “that pernaps tho war may be finished thus year; “cer. tainly a .great effort will be made. It ls generally believed that in the event of success Russia wil demand the free passage of the Straits and the autonomy of Northern Bulgaria under some German Prince, with the guarantee of the great Powers.” A TERRIBLE ROUT. The Daily News’ correspondent with the Turks in Asia, after showing from : Personal ob- servation that Moukhtar Pacha’s retreat on Kars was the wilaest rout, says the condition of Kars is almost hopeless. There are few provise tons, 4,000 sick and wounded, and absolutely no flrewooud. HOT APTER MOUKHTAR, The correspondent with the Russian headquar- ters in Asia, under date of Sunday, telegraphs that General Heyman is now within cannon shot of Moukhtar Pacha’s positions. MORE MEN FOR CHEVKE? PACIIA. A Constantinople telegram says that a reinforce- ment of twenty-six battalions has been sent to Orchanie, HUNGARY CO-OPERATES, A special despatch from Pesth says the Hunga- rian government has allowed the rails intended for the Roumanian government for a railroad in Little Wallachia, which were seized as coutraband of war, to be taken to Roumania CABINET CHANGES IN TURKEY. A telegram from Constantinople, dated Friday, intimates that Ministerial changes are probable, and it is thought that Sadyk and Safvet Pachas will form a peace Ministry. DELAYED IN ARMENIA BY SNOW.

NEWMAN, OF TUL METROPOLITAN CHURCH— WHEREIN CONSISTS TRUE GRBATNESS—MORTON'’S PROMINENT CHARACTERISTICS AS A STATESMAN. (BY TELEGRAPH YO THE HERaLp, } Wasutxerox, Nov. 4, 1877. A memorial sermon upon tho life and cbaracter of Senator Morton was delivered to-night at the Metro- politan Methodist Church, President Grant’s old church, by the pastor, Dr. John P. Newman. It was listened to with profound attention by an assemblage of twenty-five hundred people, including a considerable number of Senators, Repre- seatatives and other public men, It had been an- nounced by the Suoday morning papers of Washing- ton that Dr. Newman would speak upon this subject to-night, and the statement was sufliciont to cause sach general interest in the sermon that many could find no admittance to the church on account ofthe ample congregation within, The general im- pression secmed to be that the pastor intended to launch upon the attention of bis hear one of the robust political sermons for whioh he became quite coleprated during the incumbeucy of Prosident Grant, A political sormon from Dr. Newman means a spicy entertainment and his congregation wero ovidently in expoctaucy, They were ina moaguro disup- pointed, THE S&RMON. He compared Mr. Morton to Abnor, the Israelitish prince, taking for the basis of bia remurks the words :— nas Shere ioe prince and 4 creat man fallen ‘This, be said, was the lament and panegyrio of King David when be heara that Abner bad beon alain by bis military rival Jucob, Abner was rout as a warrior, @ counsellor and a statesman. Hore was greatness of parts, of attainments andol deeds, Coming down to modern times the same quality was found in Frank. lin, Washington, Webster aod Morton. But true great. ness was the taithtul and consciencious ompioymont of all patural and acquired talents for tho good of others and tho glory of God. Morton was a man groat wm «onatural elementé Ho bad atrong rea- son, clear judginent and an intlexiblo will, but. be was Lot brilliant, Some of bis contempo- Tarios wore more brilliant than he, but he was mado of granite while othera were made of marble. In ali buman probability neither Franklin, Wasbington, Lin- colu, Grant nor Morton would have been kaown had it bot been tor their times, yet they proved themselves the mon for their times, and will go down to history a8 models of statesmanship. MORTON AS A STATESMAN, Tho’ pastor regarded Morton’s chief quality as a statcsinan as bis iutense partisanship, which he con- ers consistent with and indtspensabie to a patriot- that.embracod a whole nation. The nation re- pects a mun with decided convictions and honost purpoecs tar more than a neutral man, whose un- Certain position creates distrust among the poopie. Apother element in Morton’s greatness Le tound in his in ity, which wus shown by the iact that, though handling many millions of dollars be- longing to the State aod governmont, he nevor taiied to wccount for every cent charged against him, and ‘was so trusted whan serving as Goveruor that with- out the aid of the Legislature of his State and upon his own personal guaranty Ke was enadlod to raiso millions of mouey to spend upon tho cause of tho Union, 118 RELIGIOUS varTi, He died a poor nan, but he was pot aChristian, Ho had declared to the pastor not long before his death that he velleved in jod and in the immortality of the soul, yet bo was not prepared to fully access the dogmas Of the Christian faith, His intense applica- tion to tho affairs of stale, prevented him from 18 soul giving to the destiny of the thought that was Decessary to cstablish him in the graces of tho Christian reilgion. He could not ascribe his tailure to become a Ch in to the four folt by somo public men that their profession would be charged agaiust them Xpedient to gain polit advantuge, yet he regretted tu say that there wero newspaper men und politicians moan enough to make such charges against a sincere convert io the faith of Jesus Christ. Dr. Newman red to the tondency of ministers and biographers to falaily the memory of the deud, to pronounce uoqualitied panegyrics upon their charactor and pass over their defects. He tuok occasion to say that Wushmgton Irving was the only trustworthy bio- graphor that over wrote of Washington, and, tn tho same breath, he condemned as disingenuous and un. truthful the great oration of Edward Everett in mem- ory of the first President, A FAREWELL SERMON.
