At the conclusion of his speech the bill went over without action, The conference report, on kota bill was presented.

After a debate the chair sustained the 0int on the lirouxl\l that the item for torpe- oes belonged to the fortification bill. The clause was therefore stricken out.

Oflices in Plenty but No One to Fill Them, {Copyright 1839 by James Gordon Bennett.] Pans, Feb, 8.—(New York Herall Cable —Special to Tnz Be.|-A week has now pussed sinco Floquet secured a vote of con- fidenco from the chamber in his position. Xnstead of gaining he scoms to have lost strength. Tho efforts to infuse new blood into his ministry have not been successful, and the negative answers ho receives on all sides are not reassuring to him. It scoms certain that Segismond La Croix, of the ex treme loft, has successively refused the pre- fecture of police and ministry of justice, Floquot also failod to sccure M. Jumais, & doputy from Gard, for under scoretary of state for the colonies, which had become vacant through the re nation of M. do La Porte. The portfolio of justico bofore it was assigned to M. Guyot Dessaigne, was offered, so it is said, to sev- eral deputies, who refused to accept it. This contempt for the grandeurs and honors of a ministerial oftice uot being in accordance with the habits of public men, it 1s permissi- ble to believe that the numerous refusals en- countered by Floguet were caused by lack of conddence in the solidity of his cal sclection of M. Guyot Dessaigne for tl of keeper of thoseals has also produced an unfavorable impression. This appointment bas been much discussed during the last two doys in the lobbics of tho chamber and the senate, and much curiosity is expressed s to what profound idea, inaccessible 10 ordinary minds, could have intiuced Flo- quet to call to act as minister of justice an obscure deputy, who before he enrollea him- self in the ranks of the radicals had served the ompive in the position of an imperial prosecutor and whom, in the discharge of the duties of that oftice, distinguished him- #elf by his ardour and zeal fov the then ex- isting governmont, and by his severity to- ‘wards republicans and hberals, It is worth moting that the appointment of Guyot Des- saigne has displeased both the radicals and opportunists. Republican journals of all slindes aro either blaming or ridiculing this selection of Floquet's, while the more de- woted and faithful organs of the minority preserve a discreet silence on the subject., The most generally accredited opinion is that Floguet has lost and is every day losing ground. It is probuble that the question as to the fate of the ministry will be again argued at no distant day. The question of giving the priority in the order of the day to the scrutin d'arrondissement bill or to the :W reiating to its revision may give rise & debate, perhaps as soon as noxt Satur- ,In which the cabinet may be forced to wisk itself, but it is not very likely thut tho ministry will be put i a mivority in this guestion.

As the Journal des Debats said yesterday, sush a policy would too much resemble that of riboille, who jumped into the water to escape getting wet by the shower. Carnot aud the senate, whose consent 18 necessary inorder to authorize dissolution, will cer- tawnly not grant it to Floquet, even if the president of the cabinet should havo auy wish to make usa of such a measure, NTINUES. Meeting Attracting Greater Throngs Kach Night. Another large congregation assembled at the First Mothodist church last night where the revival meetings are being conducted under the dircction of Evangelists Potter and Miller, It was the last meeting to be held this week, us there will be uo services this afternoon or to-night. There has been such an intorest taken in the work of the cvangelists that for the past fow nights the seating capacity of the church was insufficient, to accommodate the crowds.

He thought that God was performing a surgical operation upon him, but he got througd it, and blessed the Infi: nite Being for the operation, and he was “Everybody can be saved before pass- ing over tho threshhold of that door if they choose,” said the ovangelist when he began his talic, “Last night I talked of the ~ condemned.

What a wonderful text, and after all you lknow that it is a conditional promise. The puthway is unobstructed, but is only accessible to those who call on the Lord. 1 have known men and women to call on everything else except Christ. There are scores of men right in this city who walk the streets that aro defying God in their actions. If 1 shonld go 1nto their places of business and could give them a title or a warranty deed to wansions in the heavens, thoy would not accept the offer for amere pittance of their earnings. How stubborn is the heart of man!” Tho evangelist then made a comparison of the putent medicine man who advertised to cure or save people afllicted with any and ail kinds of diseases, with the great and only Physician who saved souls. He was the only true doctor that advertised to save souls, “Did it ever occur to you where you would spend your oternity?’ asked Mr. Potter. “Suppose you were whirled beneath the bil- lowy waves in mid-ocean, or fancy yourself on a railroad train when the mighty crash came, or think if you were in vour little home when a terrific tornado swept by. Where would your cternity bo spent if you had mot been saved! Dow't wait” for a death-bed ropentance. It isn't honest with your God. If you lhave served Satan all your life, it is an insult to a rejected Christ'to make peace with God at the last moment. How many in this house to-night know that they are saved! Stand up, but don't vise unléss you know it from thé bottom of your souls.” Almost. the ‘entire congrogation arose, but thoso who remained in their scats \were asked to stand for prayer with those who had been saved. The evangelist then invited those who desired to be ehristians to bow at the altar. Thirty-five or forty responded to the invitation while the ehiair and congrogs tion_sang. Aftor ~ tho mecting the evangelist stated that he was well pleased with the weok’s work, and that there were more converts lust night than on any provious two meotings.

Secratary Bayard wrote to Count Are rman minister at Washington, acknowledging the receipt ot this advice, “The memorandum of instructious of Prince Bismarck to the German minister at Washington, read by the latter to the suere ry of state on Fobruary 4, is as foilows The present situntiony in Samoa, regard- ing the interests of three treaty powers, renders it necessary to renew the attempt to bring the future of these islands to an understanding. The position of the three treaty powers in the civilized world makes it their duty to stop the bloody combat, accompanied by the barbarous customs of those not numerous tribes, for whose welfare, according to the judgment of the civilized world,it is the duty of the ' powers to provide. Prince Bismarck, consequence, considered it the duty of the participating governments to put an end, by an agreement o tho tr , to'the troubles which have originated in Samoa, by a rostitution of peace among the Samoans ial aring mar themselves, and so make an nd of the future bloodshe and horrors of civil war conducted with bar- barous cruelt amoug the natives.

As the assurance of Prince Bismarclk is that the pacification of the Samoan group and the oc- cupancy of u neutral position are his only objeets, it is suggested, in furtherance of the desired result of the ference, that instructions to suspenc b erant action and await the action of such conference should at once be telegraphed to the respective officers in Samoa by the three treaty making powers. To continue to pros cute & war of destruction and roprisal, e on an admitted provocation, would surely not consist with the objects of any of the three powers. It is hoped, therefore, that orders of the nature indicated will be for- warded to Samoa without delay. £5*The announcement of a conference be tween the treaty powers, it 1s confidently expected, will at’ once Causo a cessation of hostilities among the natives, and their speedy election of a_king would certainly be a long step towards hermony. Iixcept us conditions may be changed by the election of a king by the natives, it is decmod essential that affairs iz Samoa should remain in statu quo pending the conference. If we may in- dulge the hope which the adoption of this suggestion promises for a successful issu- ance of the conference, the goverament of the United States will at take steps to be properly represented at the conference in Berlin, “The statements you read to me as ema- nating from tl.» German consul at Sawo: which he finds fault with the conduct of Cap tain Leary, of the Adams, and Mr. Black- lock, United States cousul, as violative of the instructions of this government to main- tain an impartial attitude in_ the conflicts in Samon, do not appear to be substantiated by the averment of any sonal knowledge of facts, but must be based on information und v to be the belief only, or are ted second-hand, and must clas: as merely’ horesay evidence. These confiicting statements of the Gernian consul will be brought to the attenticn of Cuaptain Leary and Mr. Blacklock, and their reply will ‘be communicated. . Much allowance must be made for the excitement provailing n Samou, which is not favorable to accuracy or moderation of statement, especially of those concerned as actors.” The protocol of the first conference shows that the German repregentative set forth that Malieton, having dotoriously violated his treuty rights with Geemany, sud having but a smail minority of followers among the natives—Tamasceso having the support of the great majority-the election of a new king must take pl then, in order to secure peace in the islands, forejgn representatives should be appoigted ds advisors to the king, and to act s mandatory of the three treaty He also suggested the newal of neiple of absolute neutrality of the powers on the islands. cretary Bayard suggested a schome of constitutional governmint for Samoa, with a native legislature, securing its indepéndence and antonomy, includimg the acknowledg- ment of Malictoa as kiog, and Tamasesc as vice king. The English government, through Sir Lionel West, suguéited an agreement among the treaty powdrs, that one of them should, as mendatoryof the other two, act as adviser of the ~Hamoan government, and, in view of’ the preponderauce of ' German nterosts, they were willing to let Geormany bave the first term of five yeurs, At the second meeting there was u long discussion of the details of the govern- ment to be created. Secretary Bayard con sented to a new election, but insiated that it should be a native election, free and unawod.

The latter also inguired whether the newly elected king should not be ap- proved by the powers, to which Bayard re- plied in the negative, insisting that there must be a free election.

He desired also to refer to the importance of the practical neutraliza tion of the islands, At the fifth meeting Bayard declavea that the German plan would result in_inequality, which would grow larger, but West would not concede his point. ‘At tho last sose reviewing the German proposition, *‘The plan as proposed und explained by Von Alvensleben, is substantially a fc autocratic government based on mere interests, and all experience has shown w must necessarily result from such an attemy and that under it tho defeat of the object wo all have distinctly proposed s certain, 1 do not see why we should not recognize it at the outset and encourage in Samon a spirit of self-governmont freedom and self sion, on July r o many and the U S have beretofore given indication of a desirc for this by ti prompt disavowal of the arbitrary and unad vised acts of their respective consuls (Sten Del and Grenbaum), and it is voticeable that the conduct of foreigners has caused more disorder und discontent in than any spontancous action of the n Would it not, therefore, bo well for us toadjourn tho conferonce until autumn, and thus give tiwme to the ministers of Germany and Great Britain to submit the protocols to thewr ive governunents, in order that instruc may be received by thom of a more definite character, by tho aid of which we may be enabled to'eome to an agreement.” ard’s proposition was agreed to, g o, FAILED FOR A MILLION, The Works of the Pacific Guano Com- pany Attached by Creditors, Woonsiirt, Mass..
