The French Republic Established

OVERWHELMING SUCCESS OF THE REPUBLICAN o.N-
DIDATEs-aAMBETTA MASTER OF THE SITUATION
WHAT WILL FOLLOW.
New YORK, Feb. 20.
A special telegram to the Herald Of this city
SAYS
The republican triumph in the Assembly elec-
tons is MORE complete than the most sanguine
republican partsals expected, The republicans,
with the constitutionalista, will command ma
jority amounting to almost two-thrds Of the
lower house. Nearly all the official candidates
have been beaten.
The republicans triumph, without exception,
in all the large cities. NJ. Gambetta has carried
five seats and NJ. Louis Blanc three.
The Bonapartists were cruelty crushed. Baron
HaussmSnn is beaten in Paris also NJ. RAoul
Duval, II. Rouher's rival, the Prince Of Wagram,
Estsucslin, Empress Eugenies Secretary, Prince
Napoleon and many others Of the imperiallst
| stripe were also beaten.
Minister Buffet having been beaten in four
constituencies, and left out in the cold, will be
forced to resign. 1t il the first instance recorded
Of French premier not getting seat At gen.
eral election, and the failure is looked upon ~
| just reconpense for his underhand backsliding
policy. Ministers Dufaure and Decazes were
| elected by unimportant constituencies.
Much balloting will be necessary, but the gen.
eral result Of the elections may be thus summAr-
| lied -
A change OF Ministry, and liberal policy on
| the part of the government
The consolidation Of the Republic.
Gambetta Premier at an early day.
M. Gambetta's conduct was splendid through
out the entire campaign, and the victory is due
to his tact, energy and admirable organization.
The Republican party was never before 80 COM
pletely organized. All the candidates whom
Gambetta opposed in Paris and the large cities
were beaten all his supporters were returned.
Dismsy prevails among the Orlesniats, who
have been totally routed.
There is rise in the funds in the Bourse, the
first time in the history OF the country after q
republican success.
France is evidently resolved to establish the
Republic, feeling that she has in Gambetta q
statesman who is trustworthy, strong and judi
cious.
The elections passed of quietly everywhere
save in Corsica and Avignon but there 10 greal
excitement to-day in Paris.
The resignation Of the Cabinet is expected "a
take place within the week, the formation OF Z
new one, with Duke Decazes, and NM. Dufaure,
Leon Say and RenAult in the Ministry, to follow
immediately.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2i.-The Democratic a.
nance caucus committee had another long $685.
sion to-day. Mr.. Payne submitted modified
form Of his bill which provides that gold shall
be boarded At the rate Of three per cent. per an
mum instead OF i've, which would postpone re-
sumption for ton years. The discussion was on
this proposition. Mr.. Holman WIS more refrac-
tory than ever. and was no intense In hia viewn
~ to make himself rather unpleasant He then
notified the other gentlemen that he should
80 into the House aud submit . resolution
for the unconditional repeal Of the specie re-
sumption cot. In order to prevent this, M,
Morrison prompted Speaker pro tam Cox. Mr..
Holman therefore found 1t impossible 70 obtain
recognition, although he called out over aud
over, "hr. Speaker !" ~ the top Of his voice.
Mr.. Cox recognized Mr.. Morrison and allowed
him to make two motions 1t one time, and thus
secure an adjournment. After the adjournment
Mr.. Holman Wa very indignant aud spoke Ii
an excited strain TO Mr.. Morrison declaring tina
hs would not submit to be gagged in any such
manner. All this shows that the chances for I
harmonious agreement on Democratic ananc<
bill are not no good ~ has been hoped, although
the hopeful ones do not yet give it up.

Neuralgia In Women.

A physician Of = London Hospital writes to
the British Medical Journal; "There is no
recognized reason why Of late years neuralgia of
the face and scalp should have increased so
much in the female sex W compared with our
own. There ia no doubt that it is one of the
most common Of female maladies-one of the
most painful and difficult of treatment. It is
also cause Of much mental depression, and
leads more often to habits Of intemperAnce than
any other. This growing prevalence of neural
gia may to some extent be referred to the ef-
fects of cold upon the terminal branches Of the
nerves distributed to the skin and the reason
why men are less subject to it than women may
to great extent be explained by the much
greater protection afforded by the mode in
which the former cover their heads when they
are in the open air. 1t may be observed that
/ the surface Of the head which s actually covered
in man is at least three times that which fash
ion allows TO woman indeed, the points of con-
tact between the hat or bonnet and the head in
the latter are 80 irregular as practically to de-
slroy any protection which might otherwise be
Afforded"

- WASHINGTON, Feb Fl.
When the centennial appropriation bill was
passed, m amendment Was inserted on motion
Of Mr.. Springer, Of Illinois, the effect Of which
he cxpeoeed would be 70 make the government
pFsfegfsd creditor aud 10 secure to it the money
advanced before tho stockholders were paid.
But unfortunately for the government, Mr..
Springer did hot have proper regard to the use
OF language In framing bis amendment, and In
seeAd Of - being Of advantage to the govern
nene 10 u really detriusent, and puts II in the
position Of being second morgagee. This In
terpretaton was put upon it by several Of the
best turists In the country, aud notably by the
late Reverdy johnson and the Hon. Jeremiah &.
Black, and tho centennial commission also
interpret 1t In that way. A discussion arose up
ON II to-day, whom Mr.. Springer insisted that the
Interpretation OF the centennial committee was
erroneous, but he was promptly mot by Judge
Kelley. who agreed with Messfu. Black and
Johnson, and the majority Of tile House ap-
peared 10 coincide In his views. An effort will
be made 70 pass an act giving the amendment
the Interpretation intended by Mr.. Springer, but
1t will hardly succeed, for the friends Of the bill
Will oppose 1t to the utmost.

TIE CAUCUS COMMITTEE STILL DEBATIHa-HeIMAN
INDIGNANT AND sULKY-BAYARD TALKING TO NO
RESULT.
Special DApatch to the Nsw York Tsn<s.
WAsH1NaroN, Feb.22.-The Democratic caucus
committee charged with preparing Finance
bill were in session eight hours to-day, and &C
sompl ished almost nothing. All the members
Of the committee were present except Holman,
Darnum, and Walker. The two latter we're at
tending the session Of the Democratic National
Executive Committee, but Judge Homans Ab-
sence ia regarded "a . determination on his part
to take no further part nthe deliberations Of the
committee. No attempt WAS made to reach
vote upon any Of the propositions pending, the
entire session being consumed in discussion.
Messrs. Payne, Morrison, Bsyard, and Thur
man, who favor the Payne bill, did most Of the
talking. These four gentlemen failed to
make any visible impression upon
their colleagues. The rest of the
committee, while opposing the Payne bill, are
not united upon any particular measure of
positive character, but are united in the opinion
that the Specie Resumption act should be lmme-
diately repealed. They claim that men of all
parties agree that the Resumption act will not
accomplish the purpose intended, and that, a.
they all agree upon this point, it would be better
to unanimously recommend repeal Ut the act,
and let tho question Of what legislation shall
take its place be 3 subject for future delibera-
tions. 1t ia reasonably certain that no substitute
for the Specie Resumption act can be agreed
upon by the committee, and each meeting seems
to widen the di1ere 1ces between members and
convince them of this fact Another meeting
will be held tomorrow morning.

Centennial Costumes Weak Point.
There ia every indication that knee-breeches
and tuck ups, silk stockings and powdered
wigs are coming in with the Centennial.
The women are bound to look we'll in the
white hair and patches, but my mind is much
exercised about the mems legs, and the sort of
figures those dear creatures will cut.
l know OF one man who never knew what =
prize he had in his legs till in foreign lands he
went into court suits.
The democracy OF this country is chiefly OBJ
jectionable to him on account of the retire.
ment in which those legs must live, and his
heart dances with foEd emotion as lie thinks
the Centennial year will give those splendid
legs . chance. On his account rejoice, but,
alas what will become of the knock-knees the
bow-legs, the slim shsnks of the great MAORI
ty. There'll be no help but in pads and 30
many are beyond the help OF. pads.-Ne,c York

The Philadelphia Ledger calls attention to the
fact that the Centennial buildings are now ready
to receive goods, and urgea exhibitors to send
contributions forward, quickly. 1t says that the
experienced men in tho foreign commissions are
already getting their goods in order. Spain has
her fixtures up, in the main building, and al
ready there are consignmsnts Of foreign goods
here from Swedish, Norwegian. English. Egyp-
tisn, and Japanese exhibitors After referring 10
these facts, the Ledger proceeds =
Such is the situation with the foreign oommis-
sions. They are in motion to utilize the days

Again, then, it may BIO asked IL tho lnass
OF the American exhibitors are in readiness for

were within our knowledge to say the American

most earnestly hope they are not relying upon
that over confidence which leads too many
OF our people into the mistaken belief

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CINCINNATI DELE
GATES.

The Republican (this CITY, urges that 1t is UNI
wise to insist on pledging the delegates repre-
senting the Republicans Of this State at the Gin
cinnati Convention to any particular candidate,
and advises that they be left free to use their
own Judgment when the Convention meets.
This will no doubt be considered very good ad-
vice. 1t 10 quite premature for decision, yet,
OF what choice shall be made at Cincinnati four
months hence, for circumstances in the mean
time, may greatly change. The awkward result
of giving " instructions to delegates was seen
in 1872, when the State Convention directed the
delegates to vote for Vice President Cofax's re-
nomination. This WAS done to antagonize the
mass Of the Republicans in Delaware who de-
sired that Henry Wilson sl,anid GO OH the tickat
with Grant, and it proved to be a most absurd
and ill-advieed move, for Wilson was nominated,
notwithstanding the delegation from Delaware,
by large majority, and they, in the rush of
changing votes before the result of the ballot
was announced, vanly screamed their desire to
change also, showing that while they bad been
instructed for Colfsx, they wanted to vote
for the winning man. Moreover, the escape Of
the party from renominating Colfax was most
Fortunate il not proviential, for the subsequent
disclosures of the Credit MoDilier Investigation
fell upon him with crushing force.
In the choice, now, between Blaine, Bristow,
Hartranft, Washburne, Morton, and others
there are varying opinions, but few Republicans
in this latitude being ready to declare positive
and Discriminate preference-one 30 strongly en-
tsrtsined thai they would be ready to pledge
themselves now to stand by it next June. As
time passes, in the next two or three months,
the Judgment may be made up, and distinct Sc
lection may be made in the popular mind,
which will be showed by the dele
gates who go to Cincinnati, but
it will, very certainly, require time to mature
the popular Judgment, and it is more than like
ly that the time for the Convention to assemble
will still find wide uncertainty OF choice exit
ing amongst Republicans, in this State az il
many others, and that only the decision Of the
Convention, which we hope will be guided by
honorable purposes Is well as truly wise cQun.
sells, will bring the uncertainty to its solution. l,
is, therefore, every way best that Republicans
should elect delegates in whose fidelity and dis
erection they rely, and should send them to Gin.
cinnati without instructions to vote for OF
against any one candidate.
