A meeting at Paris, yesterday, of the republican Left, numbering 242 members, ayain discussed the ministerial programme and declared it unacceptable, adding, however, that it would wait for the govern- ment’s explanations to the Chamber before pro- nouncing a final decision. ‘The Paris correspondent of the Times thinks that M. Gambetta makes the rejec- tion of General Farre and the appointment of General Gresley as Minister of War a pretext for separating himself from the Cabinet rather than risk sharing its @efeat, He fears that the majority would trample over him if he endeavored to protect the Ministry. The correspondent thinks that M. Gambetta under- rates his own strength, and that if he made a reso- Tute and courageé4s stand against the tremists he would have the support of the majority in the Chambers and in the country. He will probably not appear among those who will ascend the tribune to assail the Cabinet, for in so doing he would run the risk of being compelled to accept office, which prudence counsels him to avoid. But if he confines himself to a laisser farre attitude nobody will be mistaken as to his motives, and it will beygueid that he stood by without wishing to incur the consequences and responsibility. If, on the other hand, he does join the assailants in next weck’s debates it will be because he has decided to accept office. Lhe corre- spondent, summarizing the various ministerial possi- Dilities now being discussed in political circles, sayé:—“The most improbable thing is that M. Dufaure will get a majority. The next in the order of improbabilities is that M. Gambetta will undertake to form a Ministry headed by himself. ‘This solution would gratify France, and M. Gambetta might count on the support of liberal Europe. Next is the retirement of M. Dufaure, M. De Marcére succeeding him and M. Lepére succeeding M. De Marcétre us Minister of the Interior. ‘The other suggestions are the reconstruction of the Cabinet ex: at its defeat under the Premiership of M. De Frey- cinet, Minister of Public Works, or M. Grévy or. M, Duclerc, retaining M. De Marcére, ‘M. Waddington, Minister of Yoreign Affairs, and Ad- miral Pothuau, Minister of Marine, in their present * ‘The correspondent thinks it increasingly improbable that President MacMahon will resign in any circumstances. The Paris correspondent of the Standard adheres to the belief that M. Dufwure will get @ majority. 2 THE CONSITIULION’S CONDITION. The American Consul at Portsmouth telegraphs that the United States ship Constitution is apparently uninjured. There is no damage whatever to the cargo. The Constitution will sail in three or four days for New York. Another despatch says the Con- stitution is leaking three inches of water per hour. Divers will examine her hull on Monday. A con. siderable quantity of chain cable had to be jettisoned before she floated. WESTON'S LONG WALK. Edward Payson Weston, the American pedestrian, started from the Royal change, London, at five minutes after midnight yesterday morning on a walk- ing tour of 2,000 miles over the country roads of Eng- land, having undertaken to walk this distance and also to deliver fifty lectures in towns en roufe in one thousand hours. ‘The first day's journey was to Folkestone, a distance of cighty-one miles. The Judges travel in a conveyance. A bicyclist is also of the party. Weston passed through Chatham at half- Past eight o'clock yesterday morning, when it was snowing heavily. MR, WARD'S DEATH EXPLAINED, The coroner’s jury in the of the late Edward Matthew Ward, the painter, whose death was an- nounced on Thursday last, have found that he cut his throat while temporarily insane trom ill health. A MISFLNG DIPLOMATIC ENVOY. In the Italian Chamber of Deputies at Rome on Fri- day Signor Depretis, President of the Council, in reply toan interrogation by Signor Ercole regarding the dis- appearance of Colonel Gola, and what steps the gov- erpment had taken in the matter, recapitulated the facts. Colonel Gola, the Italian member of the Ser- vian Boundary Commission, went from Belgrade to Bucharest with Major Wilson, of the same commis- on. The latter left Bucharest on the 3d of Decem- ber, and was to rejoin Colonel Gola at Rustchuk, when they were to proceed togethe® to Constunti- nople, but Major Wilson has never seen Colonel Gola since he left him in Bucharest, and no trace has been found of him, though official inquiries have been made in every direction. Signor Depretis stated that, notwithstandiug the most diligent efforts of the Italian government and its agents, nothing had beeu ascertained throwing any light on the mystery. He said he trusted se that the Roumanian government would not fatl jn the duty incumbent upon it of making ® searching inquiry in the case, Signor Ercole ‘was dissatisfied with the reply. He insisted that the Roumanian government was responsible for the dis. appearance of Colonel and declared that if the Italian government did not make itself respected in the matter and take such steps as appeared to him suficient he should move a vote of want of condé- Gence in the government. ENGLAND MUST PROTECT HER TRADE, ‘The Bertin Jost (semi-oficial), in an article upon the commercial distress in England, after enumerat- ing the recent successes of England in her foreign policy, says:—“To maintain her rank in the world sho must now enter upon a con cial struggle. Protective agitation has already commenced in Eng- land."” Other journals state, under reserve, that as soon as the socialist democratic Deputies to Berlin for the opening of the Reichstag they will be expelled in virtue of the existing petty state of siege. AT THE CAPR, A despatch, dated Cape Town, December 31, says: "The Zulu King, Cottywayo, has expressed his will- ingness to surrender some persons demanded by the British ultimatum and pay a fine, and that he would also consider the other demands if time was allowed. Sir Bartle Frere replied that the word of the English government cannot be altered, The term for Cetty- wayo's reply expires on the Ist of January, He is how massing his troops. REPAIRING TURKEY, ‘The Agence Russe, of St. Petersburg, says he Proposal to extend the functions of the commission for the organization of Eastern Roumelia has received the assent of all the Powers, and such prolongation does not constitute a violation of the ‘Treaty of Ber- lin, The Russian administration of the government of Eastern Roumetia also ie thus prolonged until the labors of the organization commission are con piutet "It in waid at Constuntinovle that Mukhtar NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JANUARY 19, 1879.

CAPTAIN WESSELLS REINFORCED. The Cheyenne Widows and Orphans To Be Delivered to Red Cloud. ee (By TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Fou Rourxsox, Neb., Jan. 18, 1879. Avonference was held this morning between Red Cloud and Licutenant Sehnyler, of General Crook's. staff, at the Adjutant’s office, in regard to the propri- ety of Lieutenant Dodd going to the Pine Ridge Agency for the purpose of obtaining the services of fifteen Sioux Indians to act as scouts, trailers and soldiers in the expedition against the escaped and now surrounded Cheyennes. The agent, Doctor Ir- Win, and most of the officers now at the fort, were present. ‘Lhe former has stoutly resisted the imme- | diate attempt to get Indian scouts at the agency and | has persistently urged that incase any of the military would go there now in the troubled state of mind and almost violent demonstrations prevalent amony the Sioux under Red Cloud there wouid be serious trouble and danger. While it is true that the | Indians are very umch exercised, no one byt Dr. Irwin fecls that there would be any danger in going to the agency, or difficulty in procuring the Indian scouts, RED CLOUD NOT ENTHUSIAS’ Red Cloud at first, when consulted about getting some of his young men to go, resorted to the Indian's usual evasive manner of avoiding the main question, and stated that his people had no horses that were fit to go out on a campaign; that they were all lean, and that the most serviceable had been taken up to fit out the wagon teams engaged in assisting to haul the supplies for the agency. He then went on to say that he wanted to get the captives now here wounded, who were Sioux, delivered to him for care and safe keeping. He did not quite understand why the mili- tary wanted the Sioux to go out, and desired to know if they were going to fight. He thought that thero was peace here among the whites, Sioux and Chey- ennes, and the Great Father had told them that there would be peace among all the Indiavs. SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS, He then sneeringly referred to the killing of women and children among the Cheyennes, und said that when men went out to fight it was all well enough to | was 1 by the custoin the Indians have of shooting 1 the dead.

FIGHT. — | { MAJOR RENO'S TESTIMONY OF GIRARD, THE SCOUT, CONT!NUID— RENO'S FORCE RETREAT IN DISORDER ON A GALLOP—CUSTER'S ENGAGEMENT HEARD FOR TWO HOURS—A HARD STOLY FROM CAPTAIN FRENCH. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) CHicaco, Ul, Jan, 18, 1879. The military court of inquiry now investigating the conduct of Major Mareus A. Reno convened at | the usual hour this morning. It will be remembered that the scout, Girard, the interpreter, was on the stanil at the adjournment of Court yesterdey. He v sumed his testimony, which, as a whole, was more damaging to Reno than any evidence yet taken by the Court, Continning, the witness testified, in brief, that the Indians, when the command of Major Reno halted before forming his skirmish — line, | were in the — front to the t. The village was a mile or more from | the place where this line was formed. Aiter leaving the skirmish line the troops went to the timber, probably remaining there teu minutes, The troops were in complete disorder. While there every | man for himself was hurrying to get out. The Indians were firing upon them, but there was no general engagement. ‘The suldiers went by the wit- ness, as they retreated, on a gallop, telling him they were going to charge the Indians. Only five men were left in the woods, the witness being one of them, It was ten minutes past onc o'clock when the cor mund left. The witness knew this was the tim for he looked at his watch. At nine o'clock, the twilight, the witness and those with bim lett the ber. Major Reno's position was a shelte the timber, in the opinion of the witness. | HE HEARD CUSTEK'S FIGHT. Alter Major Reno lett the timber the witness heard continuous firing at the pluce which subsequently proved to be the Custer battle field firing the witness knew the t ing. At ‘ast the firing the troops apparently at the point whe was found. The gi hours, € General eral tiring © ‘This from 2,500 to 3,00 fighting men, A boy, he said, old enough to handle a gun, trom thirteen to fitteen years old, was classed among the warriors, It was ten or fitte-n minutes before the witness saw General Custer's command in a southeasterly direction from where Major Reno was. supposed, at least, that it was General Custer’s column, tor General Custer had about t.me to reach the place where he saw the troops. ‘The command was moving very rapidly at the tume. He atterward learned where Colonel Benteen had led his men, 80 that he knew that it must have been Gencral Custer. ‘THE INDIANS WHO MENACED Mr, Girard did not see more than two hundred and pfty Indians attempting to gain the rear of Major Reno while he was in the woods. Indeed, the witness did not believe that the Indians approached nearer than within one hundred yards when Reno was in the timber. ‘The witaess said he had seen a good deal of Indian fighting during the past twenty-one years. ‘The Indians would be most apt to attack their toe on open grounds, Acommand of 100 men with 100 rounds of ammunition, while in the woods where Major Reno was, could not have he'd out against the numb of Indians opposed to them as long ax their pr visions or ammiunition lasted. The witness did not know how much ammunition Major Reno had, but he thought trom thirty to forty rounds to aman. He himself fired thirteen xhots, but he lost five minutes. Going over the buttlefield of the Little Big Horn he discovered the ford where it hax becn stated that the General was repulsed. He found indications that at least 4 portion of the force had crossed, for he dis- covered two dead bodies and dead horses. ‘This ford yas one mie anda half from Major Reno's position s point in the narrative the Court adjourned until Monday. kill one another, but it was wrong to kill women and children. RESULT OF ACCIDENT. quHere he was properly interrupted by Lieutenant G, F. Chase, who said that the killing and wounding of women and children in the late, melée was purely accidental, unavoidable and much regretted by the military. NECESSITY FOR A TALK, ‘The chief repeatedly emphasized the deficiency of horses as the reason why the Sioux Indians could not be sectired to go out a8 scouts with the military, but this was evidently a subteriuge. To this the reply was made that the horaes would be furnished by the army. Hethen said he thought nothing could be done until he had called his people together and talked with them. 5 A MEASURE OF HUMANITY, At this Lieutenant Schuyler urged the necessity of great haste to prevent the Cheyennes from escaping and probably getting into his agency to make tron- ble. Then it was diplomatically explained to Red Cloud that it was desired to have the women and children now with the Cheyennes and surrounded; that sooner or later they would be captured, dead or alive. A RELUCTANT CONSENT. Red Cloud then said that Lieutenant Dodd, who has been chief of Indian scouts, and is to the Indians, might go and sec Young-Man- Afraid-of-His-Horses, say to him that Red Cloud was in favor of it, and that he might ask him for some young men, but he added that Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses should be spoken to privately and alone, and that there should be no public counselling held about it, as it might result in arousing a violent opposition, He is going to sce the wounded and other prisoners, and will remain here a few days to see what the gov- ernment is going to do about giving them up to the Sioux, known and A CRITICAL CONDITION, ‘The agent, Mr. Irwin, spoke quite strongly of the | disturbed state of affairs and of the likelihood that the least thing would make an uprising at theagency. | He said it will take barrels of oil to calm the troubled waters now, and it is mot a very pleas ant thing to have a drawn dagger within three feet of one, as had been the case with | him, It was all very well to talk about courage and indifference to danger, but when one hud been trembling and agitated for the past few nights it could be better understood what were one's feelings in the midst of a lot of tumultous savages, He had evidently been very much alarmed, and does not relish the angry threats and demonstations of the Sioux.

WHAT RED CLOUD Asks, Wasntnaton, Jan. 18, 1879, Information has been received here that Red Cloud: arrived at Fort Robinson last night, The Ogallaita 9 Indians are very much excited over the late affuir with the Cheyenues, aud have made an urgent request that all the women and children now widows and or-+ phans of those now held as prisoners, being related to the Ogallallas, be turned over to them as their natural protectors, to take them to their homes and take care of them, It is believed that the adoption of this course will serve to allay all excitement and erally attach the Red Cloud Indians to the govern: ment, His REQUEST TO BE COMPLIED WITH. ‘The Secretary of the Interior aud the Secretary of"y War have both consented to grant Red Cloud's re- quest, An order will be given by the Secretary of, War, through General Sheridan, to release the cap- tive women aud children.
