LABOR TROUBLES.
LONDON, jan l6-The golfers in the Barns
ley district are bringing their tools from the
mines, having determined to reject the arbi-
| tration scheme. The conduc nrs of the Mid
land railway surrendered to the demands of
the company and the strike has been utterly
! defeated.
FRENCH POLITICS.
A Paris dispatch says the left have fully
made up their minds to have the ministers and
are determined to remove all but republicans
from office and to carry out the wishes of the
electoral body especially as regards the minis
try of war. The left would have liked to have
had Gen. Faidherbe for minister, but his
physical infrmities induced them to select
Gen. Fare, and it was Gen. Fare who M. Du-
foure proposed for the office, but President
MacMahon refused to sanction the appoint
ment and threatened to resign if it was
| insisted upon. NJ. Dufoure assented
sons acquainted with the relations between
Pre- 'ident MacMahcn and Gen. Gresley are
aware that the appointment is equivalent to
refusal to allow he chambers to have proper
constitutional control the war Office As
long as Gen. Gresley is in office there will be
no reforms and changes in the great militia
ry commands. The marshal retains his hold
over the administration of the army which the
chambers claim for themselves and which thew
| are determined to have.
another Paris correspondent regards the stu
alton as very critical. The overthrow of the
cabinet, he says, would lead to President Mac
Mahons T. tirement and government by the
extreme left with revolutionary programme
which would profoundly derange society
thr 'nghout France.
The declaration announced that the govern
ment would vigllanJly supervise the observance
of the law regulating regulations between civil
and religious snciety, bear memorable towards
offirials attacking the republic, and would not
use freedom OF action gained by denouncing
treaties of commerce, to depart from the prin-
ciples which recently DEVELOPED the COM
merce of the country. It asserted that it is
necessary to complete the reorganization of the
army, especially by law relating TO the gener-
al staff and gendarmerie, and that the law rela-
tive to great military commands would be Wig
orously applied, except where necessary to de-
viate from it in the interests of the service
TIE declaration also expatiated upon the
satisfactory financial position of the country,
the promised reform in colonj jail administration
| and concluded with the statement that the gov
eminent would ask the chamber that granting
university degrees be entirely confded to the
state. and that primary education be made OBJ
ligatory. The declaration was very coldy re-
| ceived. The left center alone uttered few
| cheers. M. Senard presented an int erpellation
relative to the declaration, and debate thereon
was fixed for Monday.
In the Senate, where M. Dufoure read the
same declaration, it was warmly cheered by all
factions of the left.
