PARIS, Jan 2.-The ReDublique Fraacais
/ publishes the following authentic account
of the passing away of Gambetta:
"Early Sunday morning there was a
I notable change for the worse in the con-
dition of Gambetta. Nevertheless. he
| was allowed to cherish his illusions of
ultimate recovery. At $3.50 a. m. he was
able to have his bed changed without any
great difficulty, with the assistance of
DIR. Etlenne ana some OF the servants. The
doctor, who, up to this hour,
/ had been very cautious, was
unable longer to conceal his
apprehensions. In the afternoon the
disease had exhibited increased violence,
and the patients strength was visibly di-
minished. Some personal friends, who
had been warned in time, went to the
/ Vile DAvray, and there learned that
there was no hope. Gambetta's father
in-law and sister were sent for, also some
other friends who had not previously re-
ceived am intimatiOn of Gambetta's ap-
| preaching dissolution. The death agony
] began at 10 p. M; at IL p. N the patient
lost consciousness, and at 1I:55 p. M,
| after uttering a few feeble means, he eX-
pired, it may be said, without suffering
and without suspecting that death was so
near"
The conductors of the Republique Fran
cdiS have received kilograms of condo
| lence from all parts of France.
At meeting of the Council of Minis
terS, held last evening, it was decided that
| Gambetta should be buried at the expense
! of the State
! There is some idea of pOStpOning Gam
betta's funeral until the 10th inst, so that
| the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies
may attend in body.
1t is estimated that 1900 persons visited
! the house at Vile ID ARRAY, YESTERDAY
The people were admitted by groups of
five or ten into the passage, whence they
ascended to the small bedroom where the
| body is lying. The visitors included Min
listers, Senators and other functionaries.
The room is poorly furnished, and the
body lies on small iron bed
stead completely covered by sheets,
except the head, which rests on two
| pillows. The face is pale and the
hair grayer than formerly, and the beard
is entirely gray. Gambetta appears fifteen
! years older than he really was. His
friends seemed utterly beside themselves,
| some aged men even weeping. There were
a few flowers on the foot of the bed, other

usually seen in France on such occasions.
A painter was seated at the foot of the
bed, sketching the scene, and other artists
for illustrated papers were similarly Occu-
| pied in the rooms.
The money Gambetta leaves principally
accrued from his newspaper.
A correspondent who made tour of
Paris streets yesterday, says there was
real CONSERVATION in the bourgeois and the
trading quarters. In the artisan dis
trict there was stern Indifference among
groups of workmen, and there are persons
who were even exclaimed against for say
ing that the Republic had suffered great
loss.
NJ. Bonnot has sketched Gambetta on
his death bed and will paint a portrait
from the sketch. Bapstiten Cpage has
sketched the death chamber for reproduc-
tiOn in a painting.
Gambetta's fortune is estimated to be
less than 100000 francs. VOltdire, Paris
| and the IeIegrdphe express grief at Gam
betta's death, and refer to his deeds when
the country was endangered. jSOlea COR
leanist) dwells on the blow that Oppor-
tunism has received. 1t maintains that
the death of Gambetta weakens theRepub-
lie, but refrains from saying anything
against Gambetta's memory.
The body of Gambetta will be taken to-
morrow to the Palais Bourbon, where it
VIII lSludlin uIltll iludys MuSI Ilt lu-
neral will take place. The interment will
be in the cemetery Of Pere la Chaise.
The Temps states that the members of
| the diplomatic rpswiil ask leave to at
tend the funeral.
The Reactionary papers express the
| opinion that the French Republic died
with Gambetta.
The Journal des Debats declares that
much will be forgiven Gambetta in con-
sideration Of his love for France.
LONDON, Jan. "A Paris dispatch to
the Reuter- Telegram Company says that
the autopsy shows that the death of Gam
BETA was the result of pepitgphilite peri
colite, and that any surgical operation
would have been dangerous and unjusti-
fable. No lesion was discovered in any
OF the organs except the intestines.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
thinks that the immediate effect of the
death of Gambetta will be to draw the Re-
publicans together. Some new element,
he says, will probably be introduced into
the Duclerc Ministry, bring up the Min
lsterists in the Chamber of Deputies to
300 or $50, thus hiding for time the fear
full gap which the death of Gambetta has
made.
Most of the special correspondents who
discuss the subject think that Clemenceau
will most probably take Gambetta's place.
The Paris Figaro Conservative says
tHelO bl1C ISpQDllC udS nOb IOol IL great
man, but its greatest. He founded |
nothing; he consolidated nothing. He was
a trumpet Of which the sound expires
when the instrument is broken"
The GdulOiS says: ''Gambetta was be- |
ginning to see that Radicalism, not Cleri- |
calism, was the enemy, and he tried to |
grid himself with the swords of others. |
Revolutions are assesses which end by
poisoning the blood Of the nation, unless
the surgeon resorts to the |
lancet at the favorable moment. |
Gambetta's case terribly resembles that |
of France, but there is no hope that the |
result for her will be less fatal. The day |
will soon come when the Republic will |
find that with Gambetta it has inferred |
the best of ITSELF"
The Clarion (Royalist) sees the finger |
of God in the death of Gambetta. That |
journal revives the story that Gambetta |
was shot by woman who came to the |
Vile DArray, threatening suicide and |
from whom he endeavorOd to snatch re-
vOlver.
Rochefort in L'ntrdnsigednt publishes
an article headed "End of al Savior" and |
reminding those whom Gambetta threat !
ened at Belleville that they can now sleep |
in peace,
Further details of his death state that |
Gambetta was impatient to see the end of |
the year which he considered had been /
unlucky for him. The body will be em- |
balmed and removed to Paris to-day.
A Paris dispatch to the Globe this even /
ing states that a post nlOrteR examination /
over the remains of Gambetta will he held !
in order to contradict rumor that his |
death was caused by bullet wound in |
the abdomen. The corpse will lie in state |
in Rue st. Dedier until the funeral. Gam /
betta's sister has gone to Nice to obtain /
her fathers consent to permit State |
funeral.
The Cabinet has decided that the funeral |
shall be similar to the funerals of Theirs /
and CremieuX, as members of the govern |
ment of national defense. The Parisians /
have decided to close their shops on the |
day Of the funeral, while all of the troops /
in Paris and Marseilles have been ordered /
to attend the obsequies.
A Berlin dispatch says the death of /
Gambetta was announced to the Emperor
before the New Years reception Of the /
Generals and Ministers. BISMARCK was
present. The Emperor expressed the |
opinion that peace would be the lot of |
Germany for long time to come.
The STANDARD, in a leading article this /
morning, says: sit is not to be denied /
that Gambetta stood well above and I
beyond all other men in France. 1t is
quite impossible to estimate all at once I
the effect his death will have on the future /
of France and the fortunes of Europe. but |
as far as can be judged his death is an |
immeasurable loss to France
The Daily Nelgs, i'll leading editorial /
article, says; ''Since the death of Theirs /
there was not in France man who couId /
