A special from St. Petersburg states that two rogi- ments of Cossacks and one ot infantry are marching to reinforce the military cordon, which is a thousand miles long, around the districts infected by the plague. A regiment of Roummanian troops has started from Bucharest and another from Galatz for the formation of a sanitary cordon on the Russian frontier.

The Legal Committee of the German Federal Coun- cil have completed their consideration of Prince Bismarck’s gagging bill. They have eliminated the most obnoxious provisions and toned others down so 3s. to deprive the bill in great part of its offen- sive character. The bill as amended limits the disciplinary power of the Reichstag over its members to their conduct as members—that is, while exercising the privileges or discharging the func- tions of members, A milder punishment has been interpolated in the shape of a first warning, which is in every case to precede an official reprimand. The clauses making members amenable before a criminal court for misdemeanor committed fm the discharge of their office, and em- powering the House to deprive them of re-eligibil- ity to future Parliaments are sltogether stricken out. Notwithstanding these alterations, which make the bill harmless enough, the feeling among the mem- bers continues opposed to the measure. They con- sider that 2 mesure curtailing their privileges should emanate from themselves and not originate with the government. The Berlin Town Council is deliborating on a mo- tion to record a protest against the proposed in- crease of duties on food. The Reichstag will be asked in afew weeks to vote a loan of 70,000,000 marks, that being the probable amount of the deficit for the current year. SCHLESWIG AND THE POWERS, ‘The official Gazette of Vienna has publishdd the text of the treaty concluded on the 11th of October between Austria and Germany annuliing clause 5 of the Treaty of Prague, which provided that Austria might call upon Germany to allow the voters of North Schleswig to decide by plebescite whether that province should be restored to Denmark. ‘The preamble says the German Emperor acknow- ledges the value he attaches to the ition of this clause, and the Emperor of Austria appreciates the difficulties of fulfilling the principle enunciated therein and is willing to give proof of his desire to draw still closer the bonds of friendship which nnite Austria and Germany. A.Copenhagen despatch says a diplomatic rupture between Germany and Denmark is probable, It is reported that Bismarck suggested the treaty with Austria abrogating the fifth clause of the Treaty of Prague as soon as the betrothal of the Princess ‘Thyra to the Duke of Cumberland was made known.

Yesterday afternoon a despatch from Portsmouth announced that the English war vessel Duke of Wellington was on fire; that alarm guns were being fired, and that the burning cratt was surrounded by tugs and small Inggers, as it was expected the Duke would be abandoned, The first telegrams were evidently exaggerated, The fire, which oc- curred between decks, was got under control by the crew before any perceptible damage had been done.

GOVERNOR CULLOM OF ILLINOIS TO THE PRESI- DENT ON THE ACTION OF THE BRITISH GOV- ERNMENI—A FAVORABLE REPLY. SPRINGFIELD, IL, Feb. 4, 1879. Governor Cullom to-day telegraphed to Prosi- dent Hayes, saying that the action of the British gov- ernment in respect to cattle shipments works great prejudice to cattle raisers, in the Northwest, where cattle are in excellent condition, and suggesting that it is of the most vital importance that these facts be preseuted in such form as to counteract the influence of false reports. ‘The President responded as follows:— The Secretary of State has made full statements as to false reports about cattle disease to the British Government. Prospect is tavorable. AMERICAN CATTLE TO BE EXCLUDED FROM CANADA—THE EFFECT IN CHICAGO—FALSE BEPORTS CONCERNING THE DISEASE. f 7 WasHincton, Feb. 4, 1879, F.H. Pope, the Canadian Minister of Agriculture, has written to Commissioner Le Duc, stating that the recent visit of Professor McKachean, the agent of the Canadian government, to this country, has resulted in a rcportfrom him that the cattle discase exists in the United States, aud he advises General Le Due, with considerable reluctance, of the necessity therefor, that the Dominion government is about to take measures to prevent the introduction of that disease into Canada. Mr. Pope requests that Com- missioner Le Duc will inform him of any measure adopted by this government for the stamping out of the disease. THE EFFECT IN CHICAGO. Conmnissioner Le Duc has received the following telegram from J. B. Sherman, superintendent of the Union Stock Yards, Chicago, Ill. :— ‘The most important blow struck at the interest of this city, State and Northwest is the reports in circu- lation in reference to the prevalence of cattle disease in the West, and these reports are absolutely false. I have sent a telegram to the Secretary of State, on whom I wish you would call, ‘This business of the export of live cattle to England has developed immense proportions in the last year and we must not, cannot, remain quiet and sec it destroyed. It is worth millions to the country and affects directly every farmer in the Northwest, while the whole country feels the effect of this large increase in its exports. The action of the British and Canadian governments is based on a misconception of the facts, and we need such final investigation as will put the matter at rest.” REPLY OF THE COMMISSIONER. ‘The Commissioner sent the following reply:— ‘The diseaso to which your telegram refers appeared in this country as carly as 1843, and there is no more reison for the present action of the British government in this matter than has existed for ears: tt. Pleuro-pueumonia has never trou- Sica the cattle breeders of the West, whenco alone cattle for exportation are derived, but the existence of the discase on our Eastern coast at all is a constant threat to the cattle-raising country be- yond the iy gs Mountains, for the extermina- tion of which I have asked authority of Congress. 1 —— and expect action will be taken that will speedily remove all cxcuse for the .objectionable orders of the British government. . ORDER FROM SECRETARY SHERMAN. The Secretary of tho Treasury has issued a circular to collectors of customs, instructing them that in no case will live animals be permitted to be shipped from their respective ports until after an inspection with reference to their freedom from disease and the issuance of a certificate showing that they are in proper condition of health. igen SHIPMENTS FROM THIS PORT, ‘Tho reported order of the Engksh government pre- venting the importation of American cattle has had no effect on the shipments from this port.

A heavy cattle exporter said that at this time of the year the shipment of live stock is al®ays light, the exportation of dead moat being much larger.

Amnesty for Communists and No Impeachment Scheme. Sketches of M. Dufaure and the Incoming Officials. {BY CABLE 10 THE HERALD.) Pais, Feb, 4, 1879, The Cabinet has been constituted and the tyllowing are the chunges M. Wavpixeton—President of the Council and Minister of Vorcign Attairs, Sonator Lx. Roven—Minister of Justice. M. De Mancenr—Minister of the Interior, and also Minister of Public Worship ad interim, M. Jutes Fenny—Minister of Public Instruction and Fine Arts. M. Lxvene--Minister of Agriculture, Admiral JavrecumeRny—Ministor of Marine, M. Jules Ferry was appointed Minister of Public Instruction inStead of Minister of Commerce as was first intended, vecuuse he manifested protectionist tendencies. f ‘The National has reason to believe the new Cabinet have agrecd that the question of the return of, the Chambers to Pakis can be decided by a congress of the two houses; are willing to grant amnesty to the Communists who have already been pardoned (the ef | fect of which would be to relieve the pardoned from police surveillance), and that they will not support any impeachment scheme. The Times’ correspond- ent at Paris reports that M. Lepere, the new Minis- ter of Agriculture and Commerce will be &@ protectionist or free trader, according to the ideas he forms while in office. -| The Cabinet, except on the points mentioned yes- terday,@as agreed on no general principle, but will lead a kind of from day-to-day existence, expecting neither immortality nor a premature demise. THE RETIRING PREMIER OF FRAD Jules Armand Stanis Dufaure, who yesterday ter- minated with the respect of his fellow republicans @ long, useful and honorable career a3 a statesman, is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable of living Frenchmen. With the exception of the venerable historian, Frangois Mignet, he is the oldest member ofthe French Academy (in years, noé in length of membership), and, with the exception of Count Montalivet, who is his’ junior by three years, he is the only survivor of the Cab- inet Ministers of Louis Philippe. In versa tility of public service M. Dufaure has no pecr among contemporary statesmen, he having been a minister under the Orleans monarchy, the Repub- lic of Cavaignac, the transition government of the Prince President Louis Napoleon, the Republic of ‘Thiers, the reactionary experiment of De Broglie and Buffet, the nondescript government of Marshal MacMahon, and, finally, though for a few days only, under the genuine Republic of Jules Grévy and Léon Gambetta. It is really surprising that in all these executive mutations not a whisper was ever heard accusing M. Dufaure of participation in any projects of asubversive character, bis single object having been at all times to discharge his high trusts in the interest of an enlightened public sentiment, Jules Dufaure was born at Saujon, near Saintes, in the Department of Lower Charente, December 4, 1798. The region of his birth comprised the medieval province of Saintonge, named from the Santones of Julius Cwsar, and still notable fora triumphal arch of Germanicus and for the tomb of St, Eutropius, an alleged martyr of the third century. In more re- cent times Saintes was the scene of a battle in which Henry IiI. of England was detested by Louis IX. of France, and it suffered cruelly during the religious wars, the inhabitants being chiefly Protestants and partisans of the League. A strong flavor of locality has always been discernible in the character of Dufaure, who, after studying law at Paris and becoming an advocate at Bordeaux, entered public life in 1834 at the mature age of thirty-six years, as liberal Deputy for his native arrondissement of Saintes, which he continued to represent until 1848, Comparatiyely few particulars of the early life of M. Dufauro have been recorded; but we learn that among his early friends and professional companions were the late Senator Chsix d’Est Ange and the venerable geographer, Vivien de Saint-Martin. M. Dufauro took no remembered part in the turbulent politics of the Bourbon monarchy or, in the establish- ment of the House of Orleans; but his first political distinction was won as asupporter of the Thiers Ministry. He was appointed by Thiers a Counsellor of State, February 22, 1836, but resigned on the fall of the Ministry, September 6, of the same year, and became an active opponent of the Molé Ministry, attacking it from the tribune and in the com- mittee rooms. He became prominent for his ceaseless activity and his sturdy independence, and by his discourses against the address of February, 1839, coutributed largely to the overthrow of the Molé Ministry, despite the dissolution of the Chamber, On the advent to power of the coalition Cabinet, under Marshal Souit, on the day after tho last republican uprising, headed by Barbés and Blanqui (May 13, 1839), M, Dutaure accepted the Min- istry of Pablic Works, which was then for tho first time made a separate portfolio, Along with his col- leagues of the Right Centre—M™M. Villemain, Pussy, Duchatel «nd Teste- he had to bear the brunt of vig- oroas parliamentary attacks, and distinguished him- self by his speeches on the yreat question of State aid to railways. On the advent of the Thiers Cabinet, of March 1, 1840, M. Dufaure preserved an attitude of neutrality, as be also did toward the Guizot Cabinet, of October 29, in which he declined the portfolio of Public Works. lo was the author and defender of the first ral law upon railway con- struction, and upon its passage, in 1342, a large gold medal was struck in his honor. While rendering # general support to the Guizot Ministry, which included several of his former colleagues, M. Dufaure opposed the project for the fortification of Paris and the treaty which legalized the right of search, He had become’ about 1844 the chicf of an independent fraction of deputies more remarkablo for personal weight than for numbers, and, aiter being once elected Vico President of the Chamber of Deputies by Ministerial influence, he was revlected to that post in 1345 by the votes of the opposition. During the agitations preliminary to the revolution of 1848 he opposed the movement of the “reformist banquets,” but after the decisive event ho rendered & loyal support to the new government, Chosen to the Constituent Assembly for his native department, ho actod with the moderate democrats, gave his vote for the banishment of the Orleans family, and was do- foated by a few votes as a candidate for the Pres- idency of the Assombly after the troubles of June. He was a member of the Constitutional Committee, and distinguished himself by 9 firm but kindly ro° sistance to all the wild socialistic projects then de- manding acceptance. m On the 13th of October, 1848, M. Dufaure succeeded M, Senard as Minister of the iuterior under General Cavaignac, As such his principal task was to super- intend the Presidential election then approaching, and his most ardent efforts were directed to procure the re-election of General Cavaignac, whom he ree- ommended os being ‘a mau and not a name,” to the suffrages of the great middle class, As is well known, however, the result of the election was overwhelm- ingly in favor of Prince Loujs Napoleon, whose can- didature the Minister of the Interior, had opposed by all legal measures. Retiring from office along with General Cavaiguac, M. Dufaure was re-elected to the WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1879.—TRIPLE SHEET. Legislative Assembly, and, rendering s disinterested support to the new chief magistrate, was doubtless very much surprised when he was invited June 2, 1849, to resume charge of the Ministry of the Lu- terior, He uecepted, but his tenure was brief, he being dismissed with his colleagues October 31 of the same year. From that time he acted decidedly with the opposition, even going so far as to fraternize lountain” on the question of the revision of the constitution, ‘The coup d'état of December 2, 1851, sent M. Du- fanre to private life, and he thereafter became an eminent advocate at the Parisian Bar. He figured hittle during the Empire. Chosen a member of the French Academy April 23, 1863, in place of the Due de Pasquier, he owed that distinction to his oratorical reputation rather than to any strictly literary titles. He rapidly attained a foremost place at the Paris Bar, was chosen a member of its couneil and ultimately presided over his professional brethren with the rank of bdtonnier, In 1868 he was defeated as a can- didate for the Corps Législatif in the Department of War. At the elections of 1869 he was not a candidate, but was chairman of the committee formed at Paris in behalf of M, Thiers, und recommended his friends to vote No at the plébiscite af May, 1870. Elected to the National Assembly February 8, 1871, by five departments, he took his seat for that of his Dirch, and ranged himself with the Left Centre, He had opposed the political conduct of the “Govern- ment of Nutional Defence,” and had been a candidate at Paris in opposition to the radicals, M, Dufaure was selected by M, Thiers as his Minister of Justice February 19, 1871, and he soon afterward became Vice President of the Council of Ministers, He dis- tinguished himself by the repression of Bonapartist intrigues, the proseention of fraudulent mmy con- tractors and the prohibition to magistrates to take part in active politics. Retiring from oflice with M. Thiers, May 24, 1873, he was active in opposition to the De Broglie Cabinet, and took a leading part in forcing the passage of tho constitutional laws of 1976, After their passago he consented to take his old post as Minister of Justice in the combination with M, Buffet as Premier. In this heterogeneous Cabinet he was completely out. of harmony with the plans and measures of his col- leagues, and had to make the most viyor- ous efforts to secure the execution of the yarious important measures ho had undertaken dur- ing his previous tenure of that office, In the men: orable controversy between his colleagues, M. Buffet and Léon Say (Vebruary, 1876), he took the part of the latter, and by his firmness prevented the accept- ance of the resignation tendered by that statesman. Atter the consequent retreat of M. Butt he became Premier, and reorgunized the Cabinet more in aecord- auce with republican institutions; but in December of the same year he resigned office in consequence of an adverse vote of the Senate, and was succeeded by Jules Simon. He was re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies February 20, 1876, and in August, 1876, was chosen a life Senator, having been defeated in the contest for aseat in the Upper Chamber for his native department. He was, however, chosen a Councillor General for that department in 1871 and again in 1874, and became President of that Council. After tho parliamentary coup «l'état of May 16, 1877, M. Dufaure was unceasing in his opposition to the personal government of Marshal MacMahon, and, being endowed with great oratorical talent and a very rough tonyue, he inflicted serious wounds upon the reactionary clique which was momentarily in power. After the overwhelming victory won by the Republic at the polls October 14, 1877, and the prolonged agony of the De Broglie-Fourtou Cabinet, M. Du- faure was naturally called upon in December, 1877, to teriminate the crisis by forming a thoroughly consti- ‘tutional and republican ministry. He has filled the post of Premier for the past four- teen months with eminent ability and patriot ism, has guided his country through a dif- ficult crisis, and, after witnessing the transfer of tho executive power to Presidont Grévy has volun- tarily retired from his great post on the plea of ad- vancing years and ot couservative tendencies per- haps too pronounced for the needs of the moment. In the nature of things M, Dufaure’s present retire- ment isa final one; but, notwithstanding his eighty- two years, he is still vigorous and may render good service from hfs life seat in the Senate. ‘M. Dufaure has acquired a large fortune in the cx- ercise of his profession and manages it with strict economy. Though a formidable opponent of politi- cal clericalism lie is personally a very religious man, and no breath of slander has ever sullied his personal integrity. Though his distinguishing traits of char- acter are most serious and even stern, he is neverthe- less endowed with a fine vein of humor. In one re- spect he is unique among French statesmen, ‘Though the trusted Minister of five governments he is not even a chevalier of the Legion of Honor. THE NEW PREMIER OF FRANCE. William Henry Waddington, who hes accepted the responsibility of organizing the first parliamentary Cabinet under President Grévy, is assuredly one of ‘the most remarkable men not only of France but of the world. Scarcely less distinguished as a classical archwologist than asa statesman, and possessing thorough practical knowledge of the Turkish Em- pire and other regions of the Levant, his accession to the chief post of responsibility in the French gov- erninent is a sure omen of an enlightened and vig- orous foreign policy, which will restore France to the position she lost by the disastrous schemes of tho imperial régime. William Henry Waddington has the advantage of being almost equally an Englishman and a French- man. He was entitled to chose either nationality, but the course of events has brilliantly justified that instinct which led bim to designate himself from the land of his birth, rather than from that of his edu- cation and ancestry. He was the son of a wealthy English cotton spinner, and is descended from a hotel keeper at Brighton, who aided the flight of Charles IL, to France, and was rewarded by a peusion which was paid to his descendants down to the pres- ent century. His mother was a Miss Chisholm, whose brother would have inherited the vast estate of the Chisholm family, but for a curions and intricate train ot cireumstances. Mr. Waddington, Sr., was a first cousin of Miss Frances Waddington, who married Baron Bunsen. He established large cotton spinning works at St. Omer, became naturalized as a French citizen, and took up his residence at Rouen, Tne now Premicr was born at Paris iu 1826, He re- ceived his university education at Cambridge, where he was highly distinguished for his classical attain- ments, and displayed a special fondness for numis- matics and Grecian avchwology. Choosing at his majority the French nationality, he devoted his ieis- ure for some years to the study of classical inscrip- tions, and became an active member of the Socicty of Antiquaries. After a course of travels in England and Germany he proceeded to the East in 1850, de- voted himeelf to the geography of Asia Minor, and on his return published “rayels in Avia Minor from a Numismatic Point of View" (1852), which were crowned” by the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres. One of his “Numismatic and Phito- logical Miscellantes” (1861) settled an important con- troversy—that relating to the date of the mar- tyrdom of Polycarp, at Smyrna. A second journey, in 1862, included Greece, and was ex- tended to the almost unknown deserts of Northern Syria, and yielded a rich result in inscrip- tions of the Himyarites and the Nabatheans. In 1864 M. Waddington publighed bis magnificent work, «The Edict of Diocletian,” comprehending many un- published inscriptions which established the fact that the Romah Empire attained its maximum power under that Emperor. Other resulta of his journey were embodied in the “Archwological Journey in Greece and Asis Minor” (1864-8), which Le published along with Philippe Lebas, In 1865 M, Waddington presented himself to the electors of the Fourth cir- cumscription of the Aisne as a candidate for the Corps Léyislati€ on a liberal platform, but @ still more radi- cal candidate was successful, In 1870 he was ap- pointed a member of the Grand Committee of De centralization, presided over by Odillon Barrot, but before he had time to make his mark therein tho Franco-Gorman war terminated the eaterpr.se. Elected a Deputy for the Aisne February 8, 1471, ‘M. Waddington first took his seat in the Right Centre, but the rapid progress of events soon brought him to the support of a conservative republic, and from the close of 1871.he quitted the group of the constitu. tional monarchists for the Left Centre, where he gavo afravk support to the policy of President Thiers, Hoe served on several important committees, and was the proposer of the inyportant law for the reorganiza- tion of the Councils General (August, 1871), He was called to the Ministry of Public Instruction in place of Jules Simon May 19, 1873, but the crisix of five days later terminated his first essay in an administrative capacity. He resumed his seat with the Left Centre, and thenceforth acted more decidedly with the epublicans in opposition fo the monarchical intrigues of De Broglie aud Fourtou. At the elections of January 30, 1876, he was chosen Senator for the Department of Aisne for the term ending in 1845. Recalled to the Ministry of Public Instruction March 10, 1876, in place of M. Wallon, he filled that post until the fall of the Cabi- net of Jules Simon, May 16, 1877. During his tenure of office he distinguished himself by his projects for the reformation of national education, one of his achievements being the decentralization of the com- manding clerical influence in the French Universities, Many useful measures were initiated by M. Wadding- ton in the Department of Public Instruction, most of which, however, were neglected by his suc- cessor, M. Brunet, who was too much occu- pied with the fine arts to care for the ad- vancement of education. M. Waddington was ap- pointed Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Cabinct formed by M. Dufaure in December, 1877. This selection ecansed general surprise, M. Waddington haviug been identified up to’ that time chiefly with elucation and being, moreover, a Protestaut. The appointment soon justified M. Dufaure’s choice. The new Minister established at once the most cor- dial'relations with England, Italy and even Germany, and as chief representative of France at the Berlin Congress last year he won golden opinions from all his associates, Jt was chiefly to -his influence that the favorable decision upon the claims of Greece is to be attributed, and thet interesting country will count Premier Waddington among its greatest bene- factors. ‘The recent diplomatic incident with the Bay of Tunis Yevealed M, Waddington as a determined upholder of the honor of France in the East, and the Fayptian negotiations which resulted in the appoint- tent of a Yrenchiman as Minister of Public Works in Egypt point to the same conclusion. M, Wadding- ton was marricd in November, 1874, to his second wife, a New York lady, Miss Mary Aisop King, daugh- ter of the late Charles King. His designation as Prime Minister cannot but give satisfaction to every friend of the French Repub! THE NEW MEMBERS OF THE YRENCH CABINET. Senator Elie Le Royer, who succeeds M. Dufaure in fhe Ministry of Justice, is an accomplished lawyer and a politician of great influence, though it dates from a comparatively recent period. The new Min- ister of Justice was born at Geneva, of French parents, in 1816, Having completed his legal studies with great distinction he became one of the leading advocates at the Bar of Lyons, toward the close of the Orleans monarchy.
