ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.

The Illinois legislature met at Spring
field On Wednesday, every member being
present in both houses For reasons grow.
ing out OF caucus difficulties, however, a
temporary organization only was effected
by the house, IN the election of Thos. r.
Mitchell of Mclean rs temporary speaker
while the senate even refused to elect
Temporary officers; the trouble IN the sen.
ate being, that some II republican mem
hers had met in advance Of the regular re-
publican caucus and agreed upon slate
to be supported in the caucus; and seven
republicans getting hold OF that TACT de-
cided TO smash the whole caucus business
So no other republican senate caucus was
held but when the senate on thursday
proceeded to elect officers, only the candi'
dates presented by the'sham caucus were
presented on the republican side. Inc
seven kckers presented another set ana
the democrats another. The result was
deadlock, and the senate spent all day in
vsinly balloting for temporary chairman
AT last few democrats, to end the foolish
strife, withdrew to the cloak room and al
lowed Campbell, the nominee OF the sham
caucus, TO be elected, and the senate ad
journed
The House proceeded on Thursday with
out any halt, to elect the nominees OF the
republican caucus l.. G.. Collins, OF Cook
was elected speaker; John A. Reeve, Of
Cairo, clerk; with half dozen assistants
among whom r. c. HIT, (our "Rec') Ii
third; and the usual list OF other hous'
officers and hangers on.
The election of L. S. Senator takes place
next week, and no one has an idea that any
business worth the name will be transacted
by either house until that matter Is DIS
posed OF.

commodate over 100 pupils There were
about 100 pupils entered for the winter,
but as the term had just opened that day
there were but GO in the building at the

of them IN their night clothes, and many
by ladders from the upper stories, two OF
them having limbs broken by falls. or
course all the girls lose their wardcobes,
books, &c, the outfit Of each being worth
IRON 5000 to $500. Among the losers was
Miss Helen Benedict, of this city, who
after graduating last summer had been en-.
gagged as a teacher. The building and FUR
niture were valued at 100000, upon which
there was but $4,000 insurance. There Is
no doubt however, but that the school
will be at once rebuilt, and efforts will be
made to procure temporary accommoda-
tions for Its continuance. The institution
was self supporting, has some valuable
eudowments, and last year was adopted by
the Federate Council of the three Eplsco-
pal dioceses of this state as a provincial

A prominent feature of the Christmas
services IN the Episcopal church on Gov

singing of new TeDeum, the music hav

vice had been arranged by Mrs. Hancock
who presided at the organ. The TeDeum
sung by q chorus and quartet choir, wal
given with great spirit and proved de-

THE DEATH OF GAMBETTA

Nov. 27th last brief dispatch from Pa
ris announced that NJ. Gambetta, while
handling a revolver al Vile d'Avray near!
PARIS, that day, had accidentally shot HIM
self in the hand 1t was only flesh wound
the dispatch said, and there was no danger.
Later accounts vary this statement 10 the
effect that the wound was received from a
pistol discharged by his mistress, with
whom he had quarreled, and the latter yer.
sion is very probably the true one. Al any
rate, this trfilng wound was attended in
time with violent Inflammation, suppura
ton, blood poisoning, and early on New
Years morning with death.
Except possibly Bismarck, death could
have cut down no more prominent figure
on the stage of European politics. Though
virtually out of Office, having few months
ago resigned the premiership of the French
cabinet, he was yet regarded as the man on
whom more than all others rested the safety
of the French Republic, and upon whom
more than any other rested the alternative
of peace or war in Europe.
Certainly his career was a remarkable
one. Born little over forty years ago at
Cahors, in Southern France, he studied
law and In 1859 joined the Paris bar. For
the next eight years he seems to have had
a sharp struggle with poverty, but then, as
counsel for the defendants in political
prosecution, he suddenly leaped into notice.
In 1869 he was returned to the Chamber OF
Deputies, where he soon became conspicu
Gus as an opponent to the second empire.
After the fall of Napoleon at Sedan and the
Organization of a provisional government
IN Paris he was made Minister of the In
terror, and when the city was invested by
the Germans he made his escape from 1t in
a balloon, and reorganized the government
at Tours. The energy he showed in rais
ing and equipplng armies and organizing
opposition to the Germans, though falling
short of success, at least demonstrated his
wonderful administrative abilities. Aftel
the capitulation of Paris and the treaty o.
peace, and q national assembly was resolv
ed upon IN 1871. Gambetta sought BY de
cree to give it an exclusively republican
character. The decree was Cancelled at tn
lnstlgation of Prince Bismarck, and Gam
BETA resigned office as minister. He sub
seqaontly entered the assembly as mem
Der from Paris, became the leader Of tn
extreme left, and to the violence of a speecl
he delivered at Grenoble was largely al
tributed the reaction which set in agains
republican government, and the retlremen
of M. Theirs. After this his Political &c
ton became more skillful and moderat
} and to his leadership the republicans great
" owed their success in the elections @
1877, and the defeat OF the attempts of tn
, conservatives to deprive them of its results
Last year he was chosen by Presiden
Grevy rs Premire, but after several month
, resigned on the failure to carry throug
an important law.
