London, January 7.?A Times Paris despatch eajH: As it is well kuowo that a dissolution of tue Assembly would reader MaoMahon very popular, and, influence tbe general election Iu favor of his Government, the President will very probably break off negotia? tions with the Left, and form a disso? lution^ Ministry, comprising Doke De Broglie, M. Fonrhou, M. De Peyro, General Oissey, and Dukes Du Gusob and De Audtfferet Papquier. A despatch to tbe Telegraph says: Oastelar is preparing to quit bpaiu be? fore Alfonso's urrivul. Two Protestant newspapers have beeu suppressed iu Madrid. King Alfonso has sent a tele graphio despatch to Cauovas Del Lello, confirming the ministerial appoint? ments, and expressing the hope that there wi 1 now be inaugurated an era of real liberty, peaoe and forgetfulness of oast discords. Vzbnna, January 7.?Tho Montene? grin Government declares itself satis? fied with Turkey's action in the Podgoritzu affair. ?

A Cabinet' ooonoil is to be held to-day. Madrid, January 7.?1,000 Spanish troops will be sent to Cuba on the 10th Instant. Bebun, January 7.?Frederick Wil? liam, eleotor of Hess, is dead. t?ltarBOlltCr-Aiuoriciia .Ualirr?. New ObXiBahs, January 7.?The Clerk of the former Houae, and placed by force on tbe present House, says before the Congressional committee, that under General DeTrobriand'e proteotlou, he was so confused, he could not keep proper tally. Gov. Kellogg, in evidence, narrated a sur? prising incident, whieh be said had been brought to his knowledge in such a manner that be wus bonnd to pay some regard to it, of a plot to assassi? nate the President. Tbe conspirators were to rendezvous at Baltimore. He exonerated the White League from any connection with Ibis plan, which, he belioved, was confined to a few viaionariata. A meeting of bank presidents and cashiers resolved that they read with profound regtet and surprise General Sheridan's despatches to the Secretary of War, protest against the assertions as nnfauuded iu fact, and brand them as becomes loyal citizens. At midnight the city is quiet. Tbe Kellogg Legislature is in session. No quorum in the Senate. Washington, January 7.?De? spatches from Radical sources urge the seating of Pinehback and informal re? cognition of the Kellogg Goverument by Congress, in advance of the com? mittee's report. On dil, the Louisiana ofBoo-hokleiH are afraid of tbe commit? tee. PrrroBDBO, January 7.?A meeting of citizens last night adopted a memo? rial to Congress urging the importance of a system of improvements, such as will make the Ohio River navigable ut all Stages of water, and asking for the improvement of the mouth of the Mis? sissippi, in view of the great aud rapidly Increasing traffic of the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys. New Yobs, January 7.?The Times says such a despatch ob that which General Sheridan sent to the Secretary of War on Tuesday is uot warranted by any facts known lo the public, auu could scarcely be warruuted under any oonoeivuble circumstances. We have never published such a document, bo fore, aud we must say nothing liko it has ever beeu seen in a country under constitutional government. It almost induces one to believe that tbe world has gone back two or three hundred . years iu theory and practice of govern meut. Cromwell did, indeed, serve Irelaud pretty much as General Sheri? dan proposes to treat Louisiana, but most of us wero under tbe impression that that system of government had been definitely abandoned. We are at a loss to make out what are General Sheridun'a ideas of the Constitution under which he lives, or of the func? tions of Congress, or of the powers j whioh may rightfully be exercised by a Lieutenant-General in the army. There is a shorter out still whioh Gen. Sheridan might have reoommended. It is for the President to declare the Constitution aud all amendments an? nulled, shot up Congress, put down all newspapers, and then proclaim him? self dictator, with General Sheridan us his sole Minister and chief executioner. If General Sheridan had advised this course at once, he wonld Boarcely have shown greater iguoranoe or disregard of law than he has done in his most extraordinary, and, we mnot add, dis? graceful despatch of January 5. A call for a public muss meeting has been issued in this oity to protest against the action of the military in the organization of the Louisiana Le? gislature. Wm. Gullen Bryant heads the list of signers, followed by other prominent citizens, members of both political parties. It sets forth that the liberties of the people of tbe State of Louisiana have been violated by mili? tary force, under command of the General Government, and that it is imperative that the voice of the people of this city-and State should be heard iu public protest. The meeting will be hold some evening of next week, At_I._I... II ..I tU? Onnnnr U U IUO iai(jO HUH W* kUD wOO^Ul Institute or at the Academy of Music.

Font Monroe, January 7.?-The steamer South Carolina, from Charles? ton hither,'floated, after discharging. Washington, Junuary 7.?Tbo be nate passed a bill to remove tbe limitc tion restriotiog tbo corporation, of banking associations iesuiug notes pay able in gold. In tbe House, Wbitc, of Alabama, asked leave to offer a resolution en? dorsing tbe action of tbe President iu Louisiana. Objection was made by Bromberg, of Alabama, and tbe reso? lution was not leo rived, although tbo Democrats generally were demanding the yeas and nays on the resolution. Probabilities?During b'riday, in the South Atlantic aud Eastern Gnll States, risiug barometer, slight [ changes in temperature, West to North winds, and portly cloudy weather will prevail. St. Louis, January 7.?Joseph B. North, alias Buffalo Joe, who mur? dered George Jones on Christmas Eve, a year ago, was hanged to a telegraph polo by a mob on tho night of the 30tb, at Wallsoe, Kansas. Tue knot of rope j with whioh ho was hanged caught j under his chin and did not choke him. He hung this way for a long time, talking to the mob, imploring them to release him, but received only jeers iu return. Be did not die for over two hours, and finally froze to death. New York, January 7. ? A full jury has been obtaiued in the Beeuber saandal oase. Washington, January 7.?In tbe Se? nate, tbe working men of Pennsyl? vania asked for a subsidy for tbe Texas Pacific Bailroad. Sherman opposes any appropriation for public buildings in tho present stute of the finances. Senators Gordon and Edmunds made some personal remarks of a concilia? tory character. Louisiana was re? sumed. Hamilton, of Maryland, said tbe Senator from Wisconsin (Howe) bad suggested, what are you guiug to do if tbe President don't answer the resolution? He did not believe that the President would decline to answer; but wbat will we do if be don't give the reasons for his action? The artny does not belong to the President, nor I to the Governor of any Stute, but it belongs to the people, and as repre? sentatives of tbe people, if the Presi? dent uses the army for improper pur? poses, if he uses it against the liberties of the people, we can stop his supplies; we can strip him of every soldier; we cau leave him without a vessel; that is a remedy which we have against a despotic Executive; and our duty to the people might bu such as to compel ua to use it. Logan said he had reported that iu his opiuiou there had been sooh frauds that neither Kellogg nor McEuery were elected. He then repeated his question to Hamilton, whether he en? dorsed the action of Peuu in over? throwing the State Govornmeut. Hamilton?Why, there was no State Government to overthrow, and- tbe honorable Senator has so reported. [Laughter on the floor and applause in the gallery. | Sargent, of California, gave notice that iu case of further up planne, he would move that, the galle? ries be cleared. Logan said en far as he was concerned, he did not miud tbe applause in the gallery. It was the same he had heard years ugo in tbe infauoy of tbe rebellion. Hamilton, resuming his orgument, suid, as to the onuses ot the late wur, he would suy nothing; but he would say to the honorable Senator from Illinois (Lo? gan) that American freedom was born in revolution aud rebellion, and the sympathies of tbe American people I were always with those who rose agtii??t .

Crinkling ap- i pealed to the Senator from Califoruia (Sargent) to so modify his resolution as to aim at those portions of the gal? leries where repeated disrespect had been shown, bo far us those persons, whom he heard by their predecessors iu l??? and 1861, were concerned, ho knew they wore practicing their indig? nity upon the rights of the Senate, uud he had uo objection to interfere against turning them out of the gall. >y. Tipton, of Nebraska, said he only wanted to finish the speech commenced by tbe Senator from New York. When be (Conkling) intimated that all tbe applause came from persons who sympathized with tho gentleman from Maryland, he (Tipton) wished to re miud bim that much of the applause of yesterday was from those who sym? pathized with the party to which the gentleman (Coukliug) belonged. Conkling said yes, and time ufter time, when applause occurred, the Chuir had admonished the galleries to be qaiet. New York, January 7.?The follow? ing address to tho citizens of New York, dated January 5, was issued this evening: To the Citizens of New York: To? day's Associated Pross despatches of tbe events which took place in our sister oity of New Orleans present a most marked attack upon the rights of American citizenship which has beou made since the establishment of our Government, The legislative body of a sister State, peacefully assembled, bus beeu broken into and dispersed by Fe? deral troops, acting under orders from tbe President of Ihe United State*. To give expression to the outraged feelings which overy oitizen of a free commonwealth must experience as a crime, happily in this oounrty so un? paralleled, against tbe underlying principles of our Government, we ask you to assemble, irrespective of party ?Im *? t Oaahm V*. et??*-? a ir._ j.. v.ww, wmm ~' -- ? t- ~ - ....ni.u.i', iUVUUaj evening, January 11, at 8 o'clook.

Curiosity is excited in Cambriaville, Pa., as to whether John Rightbower's new wife orders him op in the morn? ing or whether he euehrea ber. The Southbbn Foboes ?la tbe No? vember number of tbe Eclectic und tbe Lund We Love, for 18G9, na interesting and importeot oorreapoadenoe was published between Dr. Joseph Jones, Secretary of the Historical Society, soil General 8. Cooper, ex-Adjutant General of tho Confederate States. From that source we take the follow iug startling facts: 1. The available forces oT the Cou f derate armv did not during tbe war exceed 600,000. 2. The Confederates never had for tbeir defeuce more than 200.000 meu in tbe field at one time. 3. From 18GI to 18G5 tho Confede? rates notivelv engaged were only 600, 000. 4. Losses?the total number of deaths duriug that time was 200,000. 5. Lovsos of prisouers, count-d as total losses, ou account of the United States policy of exchange, 200.000 G. The loss of tht; Confederate States army by discharge, disability und de? sertion amounted to 100,000. 7 At tbe olose of tho war the force ?*f the Confederate army was less than 100.000. 8. Out of 600,000 moo, 500,000 lost to the 6< rvioe. These facts uro taken from calcula? tions made with greut earn by Dr. Joseph Jones, submitted to and ap? proved by Gen. S. Cooper, Adjutant General of the Confederate States. The Petersburg (Va ) Index says: A vory curious sale will probably be con? summated from the stops of the Court House this morning. The Mayor bus ordered that Charles Hogers, a white man who has no visible means of sup? port, shall be sold or bired to tbe high? est bidder for a period of ?ixty days, uud Hogers will be brought from j*il to-day and pot npou the stand. The money paid for bis services will be de? voted to bis own benefit, provided he works bis time out; but if he runs away he will get. nothing. We under? stand a private bid of $2 50 per mouth thus been made for him, but a little competition in public will probably ruu him up to a higher figure. We do not kuow whether to congratulate or cbudole with the mun who will get him. Boss Tweed's prison privileges bus been suddenly stopped. In reply to tbe inquiries of a reporter, the Presi? dent of the New York Board of Com? missioners of Charities und Correction said the Tweed matter needed no dis? cussion; the board bud decided in his case long ugo. They had giveu verbal orders recently that Mr. Tweed should be treated as other prisoners, aud they meant their orders to be obeyed. In reply to further inquiry, whether Tweed wore u couviot uniform, wan confined in one of the ordinary prison cells, and giveu only prison fare, he respouded that he supposed so. The order was that be should be treated1 like all other prisoners. The New York World is not at ull satisfied with the new tiuancial mea? sure of Congress. It thinks tbe biii is not calculated to bring the currency down to a hard pan basis, so mueli coveted by the boud-hoiders uud money monopolists of the North und East, but, ou the contrary, tends to I postpone tbe day of specie resump? tion. It thus illustrates its view of the subject: "A mau iu u boat rows awuy from the poiut be looks at. Precisely so Sherman's buutu Claus Sham 'dis? tinctly contemplates resumption' und [rows towards" 101,000,000 iuflutiou. 320.500.000 enacted and 882,000,000 I not prevented." - - ? - A Tkleouapu Without Wiues.?A Pennsylvania paper says: "It la re? ported that u D.iugluHsville mun, who has beeu tor some time cugugod iu the endeavor to invent u telegraph tbut will be equally cilicicut as the ouu now in use, unit dispense entirely with wires und poles, reports that no has succeeded in his efforts, and as soon as bis caveat is died will make kuowu his plans." "Down and uui."?When saintly preachers sloop to folly, uud find, too late, their sins betray, wnul charm can bootbe their melancholy ? what urt cau wash their guilt away? The only art their guilt to cover, to save their being talked about, m, not to hope 'twill ull blow over, but simply to "step down und out." A Missouriuu who attended prayer meeting with bis daughter felt com? pelled to riso up uud remark: "I want to be good und go to Heaven, but if thusu fellers dou't stop winking ut Mary, there will be u good deul of prancing around here the fust thing ihey know!'' A Richmond (V.l.) letter says ex Confederate officers in tbut city ure quite stirred up by liberal inducements offered them to go to Egypt to take service under tho Khedive, aud a num? ber are likely to go over aud try the service for awhile. "I oau't say as be vveut to Heaven," remarked u Fort Scott citizen of u de? ceased townsman, "but ho paid a bill of ulevuu years' standing only tbe day before he died, and you cau judge for yourself." The dwelling-hoose aud contents of Mr. George Finch, of Spurtauburg, was accidentally destroyed by tiro on the 29th ult. Butler looks upon bis defeat as a blessing ia disguiso. Other people, also; but they regard tue disguise as thin. Foremen in lager beer breweries at Cincinnati get about $10,000 u year, oi three times us much as Circuit Judges in that vioiuity. Beit*? ras in c!d clothes thao rue iu debt. Tbe compulsory education Act goes into effect io New York witb tbe new year. It compels tbe attendance at some Bobool of all children between tbo ages of eight and fourteen years, and it is tbe intention of tbe board of education to enforce it thoroughly. Each city ward will be divided iuto as mauy districts as there are sohool bouHea, and to eaoh district one truant agent will be uppoiuted, whose first duty it will be to uncertain accurately the number aud resideaae of all tbe children iu his district. Tbe facts as thus ascertained will be the basis upon which tbe law will bu invoked when ever parents cauuot be otherwise in? duced to send their children to school. It is expected that tbe new law will compel a lurgo addition to the existing school accommodations and to tbe farm school to which vagrant ohildren are to be sent. The Act provides that uot ouly tbe parents who allow their Icbildrcu to stay away from school, but j also all persons who employ them in I unu w.iv Arn liahln tn a Huh. Death of a Millionaire.?Captain E. 13. Ward, the great ironmaster of the West, died at Detroit, Miobigao, bis borne, on Saturday, of apoplexy. When thirteeu years of age, he com meuceJ as a oabin boy on a lake schooner, from which be worked him? self up to tbe proprietorship of a line of luke steamers. Of late years, be had abandoned tbe marine interest aud engaged largely in iron manu? facture iu Chicago, Toledo and other places, and he was the principal owner j of the American glass works, at St. Louis. Captain Ward's estate is esti? mated at from $5,000,000 to 810,000, 000. Paris has had its first hot masque of tbe (season, and it was as naughty as usual. One costume, woru by an in? ventive genius, consisted of a square box, which extended from his throat nearly to hta knees, bis legs und arms being slothed in their every-day garb. At the back of this box was a door with this inscription: "Do not open." Of course, everybody wbo saw him hastened to open the door, and as wr bin tbere was nothing at all, so far as clothes were concerned,tbe effect can better be imagined thun described. Of course, hia career was a brief one. Longbtreet's Retirement.?Intelli? gence from New Orleans, coming from what is regarded as good authority, appears to coutirm tbe reported retire? ment of Gen. Longstreet from tbe service of Mr. Kellogg. The ill-health of Gen. Longstreet is assigned as the nominal cause. The true cause is said to be that the ex-Confederate General is uot ouly disgusted at the personal oowardice evinced by Kellogg on tbe 11th of September, and on other occa? sions, but is at last sadly conscious of the mistake be made in dimming tbe lustre of au honorable name. James Fisk lived like a millionaire, but he died virtually a bankrupt. Tbe inventory of his estate, presented by .Mr.s Fisk, shows that his assets amounted to $954.423, whilst his debts and losses were $1.132.924?showing a deficiency of 8170,500. Among tbe expenses of the estate nearly 8lo0,000' appear us lawyer's fees und legal charges. The losses on stocks held at ; the time of his death ure put down ut 8159,840. The New York Tribune saya that tbe new King Alfonso XII is neither strong in body nor iu mind. The Harald says "he is robust of person, of j active hubits, and has enjoyed a good j training uuder Frt-nob und English J military instructors." Tbere is some difference of opinion here. If tbe Herald speaks advisedly, the boy is I good for half a doz u revolutions, ut least. Ue is sure of encouutetiug them. Tub Texas Pacific.?The Kansas City Journal says that Tom Scott's road to the Pacific, with a liberal policy in regard to mines, would do more to bnug about specie payment, or to secure the precious metals to do it with, tbuu all the Acts of Congress, or theories of secretaries from the time of Alexander Hamilton to the prescut. What can be accomplished by vio? lence in enforcing social equality, is uot inaptly illustrated by a sentence in one of Von Aruim'a letters to Bis? marck: "Iu spite of all our victories und our army of occupation, I cannot compel n private Freuebman to treat a German with decency," writes the em bassador to tho Chancellor. Granite aud Macadam pavements are to be abolished in the streets of London, and only aspbaltam or wood is to bu used iu the future. Tbo Mao uduin pavement is too dusty, and gra? nite, probably, too slippery. The uspbultum used in Loudon is real natural asphaltum, und is as hurd as stone. Tbo gin-house of Captain John A. Saltere, of Williamsburg, witb its eon tents, was entirely oousumed by fire last week. Tbo fire wus accidental, aud is supposed to have been caused by a match. Loss about $800 and no insurance. M. L.

English Polar Expedition, it is autho? ritatively announced that the reword cf $10,000, offered several years ago by Lady Franklin for the recovery of ohioisl records of her husband's expe? dition, etil! holds good, and will doubt? less serve as an additional incentive to a prolonged and exhaustive search. The direct reward is also supplement? ed in the present instonoe by a pro? mise of special remuneration, to the one who may make'the discovery, for any outlay to which the search may have subjected him.
