The New French Ministry.

The new French Cabinet, as formed by De
Freycinet, is as follows:
Nj. De Freycnet, President of the Council
and Minister Of Foreign Affairs.
Nj. Ferry, President of Public Instruction.
NJ. Goblet, Minister of the Interior and Of
Public Worship.
NJ. Leon Say Minister of Finance
NJ. Varroy, Minister of Public Works.
Gen. Billot, Minister of War.
Admiral Jaureguberry, Minister Of Marine
M. Tlrard, Minister of Commerce.
Nj. Cochery, Minister Of Posts and Tele-
graphs.
The Department Of Agriculture is separated
from that OF Commerce,
Nj. De Mahy has accepted the Ministry Of
Agriculture.
The Post of Minister Of Fine Arts, created by
Gambetta, is suffered to fall in allegiance.
The.programme of the new Ministry, as read
to the Chamber Of Deputies, met with great
favor, and the new administration is in q fair
way to get along smoothly with the element
which put an extinguisher upon Gambetta's
flaming ambition. Commencing with the as
surance of peace at home and abroad,
he announced that the laws relative to the
press and to the right of public meeting will
be applied in liberal sense. 1t IL thought
best to postpone a revision of the constitution
until the next Legislature meets, but the judi
cal, military and educational reforms already
undertaken will be persevered with. An inn
petus will be given to labor, but there will be
no compulsory conversion Of the debt or pur-
chase of railways.

A Desperate Battle.
DANvILLE, Va, Fob. l.

DANVILLE, va, fcD. L.
A desperate, novel and fatal battle took
place on the plantation of William Lanier,
Pittsylvania county, between Thomas King,
one of Mr.. Lanier's tenants, and Kings
mother, on the one side, and George
Slate and wife, hirelings of Mr.. King, on
the other. A complication OF circumstances
led to the difficulty, but it was mainly States
aggressive temper and his refusal to deal
squarely about some property he had
found and refused to advertise. Slate left
Kings employment ard came back to demand
his wages. Finding King in his stable. Slate
drew pistol and told hun he would shoot him
if he came out of there without bringing with
him the disputed property. King called to his
mother to bring him his shotgun. The old
lady was approaching with the gun in one
hand and cane in the other. Slate, seeing
this told his wife, who was with hun, 10 knock
the old woman in the head. The old lady was
thrown by the younger female, when Mr..
King came running to the aid of his mother.
Slate fired at him but missed. A desper-
ate struggle ensued, in which all four
were engaged. King secured the gun
and shot Slate in the thigh. States wife then
got hold OF the gun and knocked King senseless,
when Slate himself drew knife and stabbed
him in eight places. Meantime the old lady
had been seriously cut and beaten, and large
piece bitten out of her arm by the female. 1t
was desperate life-and-death struggle. All four
of the combatants were covered with gore, and
fought until they had to cease from loss Of
blood When neighbors came on the scene
they found King and his mother dying and
Slate terribly mangled, so that life is despaired
Of. The wife was painfully hurt, but 1t is
thought not fatally.

THE ASSASSIN.

Guitoau was brought into the Criminal Court
in Washington on tho Sd inst, to hear the ar
guments on the motion for new trial, and
obtained permission to sit beside his counsel.
lie then undertook to address the Judge, but
was promptly suppressed. Mr.. Scoville brought
forward the charge tnat newspapers had been
furnished the jury, and Mr.. CorkhIll submitted
an affidavit from each member Of the jury in
denial Judge Cox SAID he would announce his
decision OH tue Attn Guteau made two inter-
rupuons, and realized several dollars from the
sale OF autographs.
II IL stated that the assassin Ia beginning to
show much nervousness and irritabilNy. He is
snffering from severe cold, which has in
famed his eyes. One Jail official SAYS he would
not be surprised il Guiteau did not live TO be
hanged.
John w. Guiteau, last evening, spent an hour
in his brothers cell, III company with Warden
Croker. The prisoner became very much ex-
cited, aud denounced his brother and Scoville.
John w. Guiteau, in a card to the public, dis
avows all knowledge Of the proposed exhibition
of his brothers body and says that, whether
his brother dies by legal process or in the IN
sane asylum, his body shall be disposed OF in q
manner that will not offend public decency.
In view Of the recent proposition TO make a
public spectacle of Guiteaus remains 1t is
thought highly probable that Judge Cox will
exercise the discretion gwen him by the Re-
vised Statutes, and include in the death SEN
tence tho disposition Of the body.

The Revolt in Herzegovina.

The instruction which has broken out in
Bosnia aud Herzegovina is very similar in its
incipiency to that which in 1875 led to the war
between Turkey and Russia. The occupation
of these provinces by Austria, which was al
lowed condtionally by the Berlin treaty, has
substantially changed to- annexation. An
nexation has been followed by heavy
increase of taxation, and the taxation
has been let out TO Turkish collectors, whose
methods are always brutal. Following upon
the heels Of this came the military conscrip-
ton, and this hassroused resistance. So far
as Bosnia and Herzegovina are concerned,
Austria can make short work of the in
surgents; but the danger ID always immi-
nent in tho Balkan provinces that an insur-
rection will spread, and involve Austria in
war of such large dimensions that the other
powers may find themselves necessitated TO
interfere Should the rebellion, however, be
confined within its present limits, Austria will
not only make short work of it, but she will
improve the opportunity to make further
stride toward Saionica, the goal of her am
bition. The occupation Of posts far advanced
beyond her present limits already points in
that direction.

Probable Fate of Lieut.. De Long.

Interesting information concerning the fate
Of Lieut.. De Long, commander OF the jean
nette, comes from Lieut. Danenhower at Ir-
kutsk. The record "cached" by Lieut.. De
Long shows that his party, consisting Of four
teen officers ind men, reached q deserted hut
Sept. d, and from thence proceeded in their
endeavor to reach some settlement on the
Lena river. Later records were found
showing that on the 9th of Octo-
Der two men were sent ahead for
relief, and that after marching south for fifteen
days they were found ina starving condition by
natives and taken to settlement. Efforts to
find Lieut.. De Longs party had to be aban-
doned by reason of the refusal of the natives
to go on further, and Russian force was
then organized, and is now searching.
There is reason to fear that starvation
may have been the fate of the De Long
party. as they had but two days provisions,
and there was nothing to depend upon for sub
sistence but the precarious supply of game
afforded by that desoate region. Secretary
Hunt has selected Lieut.. Giles u. Harder and
Master w. Ii. Scheutze, of the navy, to pro-
coed to Siberia and assist Lieut. Danenhower
in his search for the missing explorers.

A SmaIl.POx Letter.

Deputy Warden Russ was opening Guiteau's
mail in the jail Office, when all of sudden the
officials scattered in every direction. The
cause OF the excitement was the opening OF q
letter from Marietta, Ill, which contained the
following message:
Here, send you some smallpox. 1t Is
worse than the Sentence of Judge Cox. Rut
yourself with the scab, and 1t Will surely stop
