TELEGRAPHIC NEWS From All Parts of the World. TITE FRENCH ' CABINET. Gambetta’s Methods to Discipline the Dufaure Ministry. MACMAHON’S CHANGES. Turkish , Brigand®” Murder” the Commissioner Gola. Italian tienda [Bx caBLE To THE HERALD.) 2 Lonpox, Jan. 22, 1879, ‘The Paris correspondent of the Times says:—The government’s victory is due, primarily, to a general movement, of sound public opinion. The. moderate journals of Paris and the Provinces have vigorously declared in favor ofthe Cabinet. The Temps, Journal des Débats, Sicle, National and other journals ably. defended the Ministry, The moderate republicans wero in- duced to seek a platform of conciliation with the Left Centre, who felt that the attack was directed against themselves and ‘their policy, while the Cabinet, to avoid imperilling its friends, the Repub- lic and liberty, accepted the necessity of de- priving its adversaries of the plea about changes of functionaries, which served a8 @ pretext for other designs. Lastly, those of the Left who were resolyed to overturn the Cabinet had neither men nor a programme acceptable to the country.” 'The Standard’s correspondent says:—“The vote is a@ serious blow to M. Gambetta’s prestige. The victory of the Ministry is ascribed in repub- lican circles to the forbearance of M. Gambetta, and there can be no doubt that it is true to a great extent. If M. Gampbett had gone into the tribune and delivered with all his fervid elo- quence an amplification of the ¢’est Jerdu? article which appeared in the République Frangaise on Mon- day, and every word of which, his friends assure me, he dictated, no doubt the vote would have been very different, But as he has made a series of onslaught3s on the government, and as, no later than yesterday morning, his friends predicted the downfall of the Ministry, he has unquestionably courted the defeat which has overtaken him. (WHAT GAMBETTA MIGHT HAVE DONE. “Had he been prepared to accept the presidency of the Council and undertaken the formation of a Cabi- net the Dufaure Ministry would not have obtained a vote of confidence as the result of the debate. But if he would not take office there was no reeson for up- setting M. Dufaure. His own sense told him as much, for yesterday, while intimate friends of his were tell- ing mo that the fate of the Cabinet was sealed, and that another Cabinet, composed of politicians ‘under his influence, would be gazetted within twenty four hours, he was himself so conscious of his in- evitable defeat that he not only abstained from taking part in the debate and conducting the attack against the Ministry which he himself had planned, but ostentatiously paraded himself in his barris- ter's robes at the Palace. of Justice, where the statue of Berryer was unveiled, and only took his place in the Chamber of Deputies after the sitting commenced, The Yelegraph’s correspondent ascribes the compromise to M. Gambetta’s personal efforts. ‘The correspondent of the Datlg News, who. has been supporting the attack on the Cabinet, makes no comment on the result. The five per cent rentes ‘were quoted at 113f. 75c. on the Boulevards after the vote was made known. TACTICS OF THE GAMBETTISTS, A despatch this morning says that prior to the Main division on Monday Gambetta voted with the minority in favor of the order of the day pure and simple. This order of the day was proposed by the Gambettists so as to overturn the Cabinet without actually censuring it, and would thus have freed the Gambettists from the necessity of propounding a rival programme. The order was rejected by a vote of 200 155. In the main division Gambetta and forty-five of his adherents of the Re- publican Union abstained from voting, not being willing to go the length of negativing the vote of con- fidence when there was no longer any alternative mo- tion. Twenty reactionaries voted with the radicals fm the main division. On this vote the pure Left turned the scale. Their bureaux only |, by a majority of one, to vote confidence in the terms do- manded by the Ministry. They were influenced by a Fumor that the reactionaries intended to yote with the radicals. The République Francaise wagns the Cabiuct that a majority still exists which will keep a strict watch over the use it makes of the respite given it. The life or death of the Cabinct depends upon its prompt fulfilment of its promises, It is said plan for replacing the Dufaure Ministry by a Cabinet which would pave the way for the elevation of M. Gambetta to the Presi- dency in 1390 was formed immediately after his speech at Romans. MACMAHON AGREES TO MAKE OFFICIAL CHANGES. Modifications of the staff in all branches of the Sdministration are announced. The Putric asserts that President MacMahon has agreed to changes in the stafis of certain army corps proposed by General Gresley, the new Minister of War. AMNESIY LOR COMMUNISTS. The French radical Deputies have prepared a resolution in favor of complete amnesty to the Communists, Sixty Deputies have already signed the resolution, and M. Louis Blanc will shortly givo notice of it in the Assembly, Victor Hugo will sub- mit the same resolution for the signatures of the Senators belonging to the Republican Union.

In the Italian Senate yesterday Signor Depretia, in replying to wn = iuterpellation, declayed that the government's foreign policy sought to ameliorate the condition of Christians in Turkey and to loyally co-operate in the complete execution of the ‘Treaty of Berlin. He stated that the accusations of Russophilism and of a desire to acquire Albania or fresh territory on the shore of the Mediterrancan ‘were unfounded, and asserted that the confidence of the Powers in Italy was undiminished. ENGLAND'S STRUGGING MECHANICS. The master tanners of Bermondsey havo given Rotice of a fiveper cent reduction of the wages of their employés. The men declare that they will resist. ‘The shipbuilders of Hartlepool, Stockton and Mid.

STORMS IN EUROPE. EXTREMELY BOISTEROUS WEATHER IN THE BRITISH THE ENGLISH STEAMER OBERON INSIDE QUEENSTOWN HAL- BOR-—-THE HERALD WALNINGS VERIFIED. [By caBLE 70 THE HERALD.) Lowpow, Jan. 21, 1879. The weather over all the southern sec- tions of the British Islands is very stormy. Heavy gales prevail in the Channel and on the southwestern coast of Ireland, accom- panied by exceedingly heavy rains. THE OBERON WRECKED. y The English steamer Oberon was caught in the gale off Kinsale and broke her pro- peller. She was bound from New Orleans for Liverpool, having on board a cargo of cotton and cilcake. She attempted to enter Queens- town harbor under sail, yesterday, but her steering gear failed, and she ran ashore ISLES—LOSS OF in White Bay, about a quarter of a mile in- side Camden Fort. All the crew were saved, but it is feared the vessel will prove a total wreck. At the time the steamer ran on the rocks there was a very strong sea running, with the wind blowing a gale from the southeast. Lighters are now removing her cargo, but it is a work of considerable difficulty owing to the continuance of the wind and the heavy swell. It is also rain- ing hard, which retards operationg very much, REPORTS RECEIVED IN LONDON. The following reports have been received atthe Meteorological Office in London:— Liverpool, south-southeast, foggy; Scilly, east-southeast, wind fresh, barometer 29.60 inches; Holyhead, east-southeast, fresh gale, barometer 29.92 inches; Plymouth, east-northeast, fresh, cloudy, barometer 29.70 inches; Queenstown, southeast, heavy gale and heavy rains. The present weather completely justifies the prediction sent by the Heratp Weather Bureau on the 16th, which read:—‘‘A disturbance, attended by snow and ‘southeast backing to northwest gales, will probably arrive on the British and French ‘coasts between the 20th and 22d inst.” GRANT'S EASTERN TOUR. THE BLAINE INVESTIGATION. TESTIMONY OF WHITE AND COLORED UNITED STATES SUPERVISORS AS TO THE ‘TIgsUE BAL LOTS AND STUFFING OF THE BOXES. Cuautrstos, 8. C., Jan. 21, 1879, The ‘eller Committee, consisting of Sena- tors ‘Teller, Kirkwood, Cameron, Randolph and MacDonald, began their investigation of the late general election to-day, All of the witnesses examined were residents of Charles- ton county, and it was admitted by both democrats and republicans that all of the election officers, ex- cepting the clerks, were appointed upon the reeom- mendation of the democratic committee; thet one of the three Commissioners of Election for the county was a republican; thet the man- agers of election at the different precincts were exclusively dembcrats, and that the United ‘States supervisors at the different polls were not al- lowed to have a clerk, there boing no provision of law for such person, It was also testified that the demo- cratic supervisors had no clerks, and that the clerks |. of the republican supervisors were excluded from the polling places by order of the democratic com- “mittee, J. N. Gregg (colored), Fepuvt , United States Supervisor-at the Eagle Engine Houso, was the first witness. He testified that the election was quiet when the polis closed it was fouud that there we: number of tissue. democratic tickets in the box, and that there were 158 votes more than there were names of persons who voted; the excessive votes were drawn out, as required by law, by a blindfolded manager, and ‘the witness beheves that the majority of those so withdrawn were repub- lican ballots; he did not see any tissue ballots voted: a number of persuns were ¢ prevented from voting as non-residen’ the demo- | ctutie majority at the poll was 23. Mr. Hutchiuson, the second witness (white, repub- | hican), United States Supervisor, testified that at the poll in St. James, Gooso Creck Parish, there were 135 tissue democratic tickuts, and the same excess over the number of voters; the excessive ballots were drawn out,2 majority of these being republican votes; not 4 voter was challenged, und the election was quiet, The witness considered all the colored Deople republicans and all the whites democrats, W. J. Elfe (colored, republican), United States Su- pervisor at the Washington Engine house, testified that eighty-one yotcrs were turned away by the manage for diferent reasons; soon after the count of the votes began the lights went out, and witness fled through the back window and went home; the belier of witness is that the republicans had a large majority at this poll: nothing has ever been heard of the ballot box or ballots. C. G. White, democratic Commissioner of Election, testified that a resolution to appoint none but demo- crats as managers was egrecd to by the three Com- missioners,fpne of these being a republican, and the appointments were so made unanimously®the re- Mblicans applied to have their party represented, ut none were appointed; the witness was & member of the County Democratic Committee, but did not act aa such after his appointment ax Commissioner. ‘!. Barker Jones, a democratic Commissioner of Elections, testified’ to the same effect; also that he ‘was a member of the County Democratic Committee and attended its meetings now and then after becom- ing a Commissioner; he first jsaw the democratic tissue ballots in the rooms of the Democratic Com- mittee; after election he found in the ballot boxes a number of tissue republican ballots bearing the names of republican candidates, The object of the democrats in using tissue tickets was to enable colored people to vote secretly for the democratic candidates without risk of molestation; he did not know where the democratic tissue tickets came from or who distributed them ; he heard they were used in other counties, but did not know by whom they were printed; the democrats expected to get 5,000 colored yotes; there is no law requiring managers of elec- tions to be of different parties. 't. K. Buist, democratic county chairman, testified that no appropriation having been made by the State the whole expense of conducting the election fell on the democrats; tla county committee had nothing to do - With the tissue tickets; they were intended for colored people who expected . intimidation from the radicals and did not wish their tickets to be seen; some might have been. irregularly used; the witness did not kndéw who printed the democratic tickets nor who distributed them; nor did he see any of them used, or ive any instructions regarding them. ‘The committee then adjourned until to-morrow.

At the Cabinet session to-day Secretary Schurz stated that he had received a report from tho Indian Agent at the Cheyenne Agency to the effect that infor- mation had reached that place of the recrossing of the Canadian line into the United States of the noted chief Sitting Bull with his people, and that they are exceedingly anxious to return to this country and come under the supervision of the Indian Bureau and be distributed in the Indian country, as are other tribes. This news was not confirmed by any information at the War Depart- mont, but it was thought worthy of serious consid eration, and led to some discussion in the Cabinet. Itis reported that some tive thousand lodges, or nearly fifteen thousand people, are with Sitting Bull. ‘The subject will receive the immediate attention of the President and the Secretaries of the War and In- terior departments. ft ‘Telegrams will be sent to officers of the War Depart- ment, as-well as the Indian agents, requiring them to give the authorities hero all they information can obtain on this mutter, PRACKEAULE, INTENTIONS, The report is that Sitting Bull comes with the most peaccable intention, but in the present dis- turbed condition of Indian affairs it is not known what may be his meaning.

PROPOSITIONS OF COMPROMISE REJECTED, {By TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Nasuvien, Jan. 21, 1879, In the lower House of the Legislature to-day, a res- olution to provide for the honorable adjustment of the State debt by the acceptance of the fifty per cent proposition from the bondholders, was tabled by a vote of 51 to 14, It also tabled, by a vote of 44 to 16 a resolution “that the recommendation of Governor Porter, touching the adjustment of State debt meets our hearty approval, and we hereby declare it to. be the sense of this House that the propositions heretofore made by our creditors for the abatement of a large mut of the State’s indebted. ness are reasonable afd liberal on their part, and should be accepted without dolay by this General Assembly.” debted under singular circumstances. It scems that to make it appear to the East Haven taxpayers that the town’s affairs were conducted economically he was in the habit of exchanging notes issued by the town for his own personal notes. In this way many poor ple_ were caused serious loss, and there is anuch bitter fecling against the ex-flnancial manager, who is in Florida, where he is expected to stay for some time, being in delicate health. A man less gen- erally or less favorably known could not have met success in carryit out this peculiar financial sys- tem. Judge Deay hed property amounting to, rer haps, $10,000, and this has been assigned for the benefit of his creditors. ACTION OF THE TOWN COMMITTEE. The special committee to investigate the town ac- counts do not learn of any new claims against the town. It was a surprise that the town was round in- debted at all, as a large issue of bonds had been made, and it was voted not to incur furtner indebt- edness. The committee was allowed six months in which to make a report, and about two months have elapsed, during which the committee has held from two to three meetings per week. Pressure is being brought to bear to hasten the investigation. It was expected that Judge Bray would return home about March. ‘The fact that had 0 long. presided over the — District Probate Court, had been trying justice for many years, and had occupied a seat in the State Senate and ‘was a prominent church member, caused more attention to be drawa to the cave than would other- wise have centred on it.

THE CONNECTICUT SENATORSHIP. Hanrvorp, Jan. 21, 1879. Since the republican caucus last Thursday evening, in which Hon, 0. H. Piatt, of Meriden, was nominated for United States Senator, the air hes been full of rumors of a bolt of the members of the Legislature friendly to the, claims of General Joseph R. Hawley, and a coalition with the democrats to clect him to-day. The majority of the democratic members were favorable to the scheme, and it was evident that only about thirty republican votes were requisite to make it effectual. ‘These it was believed could be secured from among the Hawley men with- out any difficulty. Lust evening it was asserted in some quarters that the coalition had actually been agreed upon, and the statement met a denial only from some of the most intimate political friends of General Hawley. A SECRET CIRCULAR. A secret circular, marked “Confidential” and signed “Independent Hawley Committee” (but not giving the imes of the committeemen) was dis- tributed yesterday and this morning among all the members—seventy ‘or more—who@had fought for Hawley to the last in the caucus. This circular set forth thst “the outery of the republiesn party, which in some towns has even culminated in most palpable manifestations of indignation and dis- content, has moved som» sincere men to make an- other efiort to correct the lamentable mis- take of the Senatorial caucus. They have seen many republican members of the Legislature and received their promises to vote for Joseph R. Hawley this day.” Continuing, the circular adduced three reasons why the republicans should bolt the Platt nomination :— ; First—That the republican party has been defeated in its just desire, which all acknowledge to be the selection of General Hawley. ‘Second—That he is the candidato of netional signifi- cance, the people’s choice, and has been crowded out of the results of his legitimate expectancy; and Thurd—That the selection made by the caucns was not the best for tho Stute and the repubtican party. In conclusion, the cireular urges those to whom it is addressed to consider that party is of greater im- portance than the results of party machinery; that there is such a thing as the right of revolution; that this right should be claimed when the expres- sion of a caucus manifestly falsifies the intentions of the constituents of the mem- bers of that caucus, and adds, “Rise up and give your vote for “Glorious Joc Hawley.’ There is assistance enough waiting to elect him if his friends have the courage to show the way.” But nothing came trom this or other fervent ap- peals. General Hawley remarked in the Courant thi morning, that Mr. Platt will doubtless reevive “every republican vote in the Assembly,” and his political friends asserted that he did not ip gr the plan of w bolt, and would have nothing whatever to do with it. HOW THE BOLT WAS PLANNED, ‘The method which ru:nor said would be adopted was for some of the Hawley men who were well up on tho rollin the House to yote for Hawley, und thus set the ball in motion. It was expected that this would havo an electrifying effect on the other Hawley men all down through the roll, and that the dezaocrats would at the saine timo carry out their part of the programme by dropping William H. Barnum and voting for Hawley. In ihe the first name on the roll was that of Mr. Henry C. Robinson, who marshalled Haw: s° forces in the’ caucus, and when he sted for Platt it became ‘at once apparent that the proposed bolt was a fiasco. Ton, twenty, thirty names were called. Every republican voted for the cauchs nominee, and that it was a failure be- came a certainty, ‘The votes of both political purties wore straight for their, party candidates, Platt and Barnum, and the only greenbacker in the Hose cast his vote for Alexander Troup, the greenback leader of New Haven. House THE OFFICIAL VorE. The oMcial vote was:—Piatt, } Barnum, 4; ‘Troup, 1; absent or not voting, 10.’ In the Senate the vote went as straight as in the House, viz.

Smith, of Luzerne, re- publican, was purposely absent, having pledged if not to vote for Cameron in his campaign peeches, These losses were made up by the addi- tion of three greenbackers to the Cameron column, one of whom is of democratic proclivities, whose vote was given in the hope that his seat would not be al- lowed to be successfully contested. ‘The following was the vote for Senator in both houses:— Don Cameron, 135; Hiester Clymer, 92; Judge Agnew, 16; Kdward MePherson, W. Russell ‘Thayer, 1; Galusha A, Grow, 1.

John W. Hall was inaugurated Governor of De! Ware to-day in the presence of the Legislature and o / je concourse of citizens, The City Councils and militia companies of Wilmington were also present. Governor Hall's inaugural address was brief.

J., Jan, 21, 1879, The arrest of a score or more of Princeton College students here at midnight last Saturday, by the police has caused much excitement and many opin- ions as to the cause. Chief of Police Brown being auestioned on the subject by the HrnaLp reporter to-day said that on Friday night @ sleigh with sev- eral Princeton students was in Trenton. The boys were very noisy, 60 much so that they attracted the attention of Officer Reed, who cautioned them not to makeso much noise. They cursed him, and used obscene epithets and went on furiously shouting, kc. Before this Oificer McGowan says he saw some of the students leading one another up and down Warren street, all drunk and disorderly. They went to Winter's suloon about six biocks away, and the pro- pristor was compelled to close up. The party, elent in number, was at length compelled to keep quiet, but on leaving town they again made the most hideous noises. On Saturday night, about cight o'clock, party n Saturday night, about eight o'clock, a of students in two sleighs—a tour horse py & two horse—again apy in town, and on Greene atreet their bad conduct was noticed by Officer Stout, who attempted to stop them. This officer says they used vilely abusive langoage to him and threatened to “nako it hot” for him before leaving the town. He at once r@ported the matter to the Chief. The latter detailed ers McGowan and Rue to watch the in- truders and secure evidenee of their unscemly doings. ‘The boys visited hotels and saloons, where they were very disorderly, They kissed girls in front of St. Mary's Church and insulted ladies in the streets. The police tried to 61 them, but all to no use. Things were getting so bad that the Chief detailed a squad who arrested the disturbers at the bridge and pect them in the police station. ‘They made threats before they were put in the cells that they would “make it hot,” &c., for the police; that they had influence in town and belon; to high fam- ilies. Police Justice Swing was called and held Court at two o'clock in the morning, when the boys were fined in the sum of nearly $100 in the aggregate aud discharged. MR. NORVIN GREEN EXPLAINS.

Before this subpana was served all the messages had been withdrawn from the New Orleans office by the superintendent and forwarded to the executive office in New York, so that Manager Barnes, of the New Orleans office, who was brought to forrest and imprisoned for contempt in not producing the messages, really had control of no messages to produce. "The next step was the service on the president of a subpeena from the Judiciary: Committee, or Special Commit! of which the Hon. Proctor Knott was chairman, for the production of messages between certain parties at Washington and certain other par- ties at New Orleans and Tallabassee.» This was fol- lowed by a subpeena from the Committee on Privi- Jeges and Elections in the Senate, of which Hon. O. P. Morton was chairman, calling for all the messages in respect to the returns of the election sent trom or to New York, Washington, New Orleans, Tallahassee, Columbia, South Carolina and the capital of Oregon. ‘The action of the president and of the company thereupon, as stated by your reporter, is substan- tially correct, Very respectfully, NORVIN GREEN, President.
