VIRGINIA'S DEBT.

PROSPECTS OF A SETTLEMENT NOT VERY FAIR
OBJECTIONS OF SEVERAL PARTIES IN THE
LEGISLATURE.
BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.
RICHMOND Feb. /, 1879.
The creditors of the State having. as the HERALD
telegraphed last night. made their proposition
for settlement of the debt there is naturally
good deal Of excitement among all classes. and
great anxiety is felt to what will pro-
badly be the action of the Legislature.
From the expression Of opinion among
leading members the result may be considered
very doubtful. The prominent readjusters open
in their denuncaton of the scheme of settlement
proposed. and emphatic in their declarations
that they WILL under circumstances. agree to pay
more than three per cent interest. The apprehen-
sion is that these would have agreed to any
proposition which might have been made There
is another party here who say that they would have
agreed to the proposition If it had provided for
the payment of three per cent for ten years instead
OF five years. These last united with the genuine
debt payers, would undoubtedly have constituted
majority OF the Legislature but it is the matter
may be considered as in doubt The proposition, AS
given In the HERALD this morning. will be formally
reported to the Finance Committee on Monday next,
and will depend mainly upon their report. The IN
dicaons that the bill. proposed by the bond
holders, Will not be passed without amendments.
However, day or two must eapse before any salts
factory prediction can be hazarded.

THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS.
[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.
PARIS Feb. l, 1879.
1 have received the following from an au-
thentic and influential source The trans
mission of the powers of Office are not yet
completed at Versailles. NM. Grevy,
Gambetta and Dufaure form an all power
full triumvirate. They thoroughly under
stand each other and hold all the govern
mental power in their hands NJ. Dufaure,
however, will probably retire from the Cab
met. An exchange will take place between
him and NJ. Martel, now at the head Of the
Upper House, the latter becoming Premier
and M. Dufaure succeeding to the Presi-
dency of the Senate.
PEACE AHEAD.
In conversation last evening M. Gam
beta declared that the Ministerial crisis
was ended for at least year, and he further
expressed perfect confidence In President
Grevy. He said that administrative and
diplomatic changes would now take place
without single hitch. He is opposed to
the impeachment of the Ministers Of the
10th of May.
GAMBETTA's MASTER STROKE.
The Parliament will probably return to
Versailles abouta fortnight hence. Numer-
Gus diplomatic changes are impending. NJ.
Gambettas acceptance of the Presidency
OF the Chamber of Deputies was master
stroke. 1t saves him from the obligation
of taking Office in the Ministry, thereby
avoiding unpopularity and designating
him as the successor to NJ. Grevy.
CHrsELHURsr OR FRoHsDoRF
The crisis having now passed it may be
stated as fact that the republican chiefs
had resolved to arrest Marshal MacMahon
and send him to the military prison at
Vincennes if he had refused to yield to the
will of the nation. This statement has re-
vived the strange and startling rumors of
the past few days in relation to the dis
coveries made by the Left.
RUMoRs CABINET CHANGES.
The rumors of the resignation of the entire Cabinet
are unfounded but NJ Daniel Wilson, member of the
Chamber of Deputies for Indre ct LORE will prob
ably succeed NJ Teisserenc dc Bort Minister of
Agriculture and Commerce, who will succeed the
Marquis 'Harcourt as Ambassador to London. The
Paris Temps announces that NJ. Dufaure declared in
the Cabinet to-day his irrevocabe resolution to re-
sign the Presidency of the Council.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. l. 1879.
The trial of Harry Richmond the variety per-
former, for killing Daniel Archer was concluded
this evening. The evidence detailing the circum-
stances of the affair has been summarized in the
HERALD. This evening Judge Mitchell charged the
jury His charge was fair one although some in
the court room inclined to the opinion that it
favored the prisoner little. The Judge, after defn
ing the several grades of murder told the jury that
they were not asked to consider either the first or
second degree but that their attention was to
be directed solely to that of manslaughter. He
also told them that they were to decide whether
or not pitcher was deadly weapon. and. in order
to arrive more thoroughly at conclusion Of self
defence, he advised the jury to consider
themselves in Rchmond's place at the time of
the row. and determine the matter from that stand
point. The Judge went over the subject most
thoroughly enlightenpg the jury all points, and
drawing the line carefully SO not to bias the case
either way.
WAITING FOR THE VERDICT
At about eight p. NJ the jury retired to deliberate.
Richmond sat near his counsel throughout the argu-
mcn with his wife, who Is an invalid. on his LETT.
and his mother-in-law his right. The latter held
handkerchief TO her eyes the greater part of the
time. while Mrs. Boyle rested her head on her hus
bands shoulder.
NOT GUILTY.
The jury were only out about ten minutes when
they returned with verdict of not guilty. There
was no demonstration OF either approval or disap-
prova the Judge having warned the audience that in
the event of any demonstration he would punish the
offending parties. Upon leaving the jury box OF
the jurors advanced and took Richmond by the hand,
and after that Richmond complimened his counsel
for their able defence and also shook hands with the
District Attorney and his assistants. He bowodto the
Judge and then. accompanied by his wife and
mothcr-in-law passed into the basement of the court
house. and leaving there by side door took
riage for his home. During the evening he
called upon by numerous friends who congratulated
him oDjhs fortunate escape from punishment
