AUSTRIA.
Cabinet Project for Electoral Reform.
TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YoUk HERALD.

VIENNA, Nov 20 1872.
The Imperial Austrian government contemplates
introducing an electoral reform bill at the coming
session Of the Reichsrath.
PLAN OF the MEASURE AND CABINET PRUDENCE IN
IT'S PREPARATION.
The idea OF this necessary measure OF progress
In the way OF citizen enfranchisement has been
cherished and moulded into legislative outline
BY the government with the view Of Its being used
as On enectlve aid to the Cabinet policy.
While there is great excitement OF political feel
ing in Austria and Hungary just at present, in
view OF q threatened clerical reaction, the vienna
Ministry endeavors to crafty the liberals by "a new
reform bill This bill, proposing direct elections to
the Reichsrath, is now ready IL Is stated that the
interests OF the German party will be protected
by the measure, which means that the 'preponder-
ance of the German element will continue. The
Chamber OF Deputies Will be doubled In number,
and will count 4O3, instead OF 203 as at present. 1t
Is calculated that the project, II carried, will ut
tery annihilate the hopes OF the reactonary party
in the Austrian Empire.

THE NEWS In WASHINGTON.

Special Omcial Despatch from Ver-
sailles-The French National Deadlock
Terminatcd-Prcsidc Theirs First
Genuine Victory I'm the Parliament.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, 1872.
An official despatch has been received here
this evening from Versailles, stating that the
proposition of the French government,
through M. Dufaure, the Minister Of Justice,
has been accepted by $40 against 334.
The despatch adds that this increased
majority of the government has changed the
aspect of affairs, and that the public alarm
in Paris has completely subsidized.
This is considered the first genuine victory
of the Theirs government in the National
Assembly, as on previous occasions the latter
had only made concessions to Theirs threats
Of resignation.

A Worn.out Rail.

Thanksgiving Day was marred by a sad
fatality on the Binghamton and Syracuse
Railroad. No doubt the occurrence will be
called an accident. A line OF the end of the
despatch shows that it was not. We are told
it was caused by the worn-out condition Of the
track. How should the track be worn out
The road is not old nor largely used. Or how
can there be worn rails on any road with
out the company being responsible for all
resulting damagesP In this case we have
train wrecked; only one person was killed
outright-the noble engineer, who stood
bravely to his post while his engine was
wildly racing over the ties, and died in the
discharge of his duty. Many others were
hurt-quite likely some will die. That the
consequences were not more serious is the
strange part Of the matter. Clearly this is a
case for which the authorities Of the road are
to blame. A careful inspection Of the track
would have detected the insecure rails, and
certainly thorough administration would
have replaced them with sound ones. Now
we have slaughter and injury to many persons
who trusted their lives to ths reckless rail-

he uttered on Thursday, the 28th instant,
defending the President and counselling con-

are already responsible, that they had never
sheltered themselves behind the President,

President of the right to speak in the Assem-
President with that of the President of the
United States, who had the right to veto
laws and whose powers were so largely in
creased during the vacations of Congress, and
adding that, while he (M. Dufaure) deprecated
