London, January 25. ?Tbe Times* cor respond en t at Paris telegraphs: It is considered that the Duke De Btog lie, by the part he took In Friday's de? bate in the Assembly, has dissipated all ohanoes of forming a uew adminis? tration, as a vote on the motion to closo the debate, whioh was made and supported by bis partisans, proved that there was a majority of nearly 100 againt him. The Duke De Cuzes recently sent seoouds to M Du Tem? ple, to demand an explanation of cur? tain letters charging him with violat? ing his engagements. It is announced that the affair has been amicably set " tied. An antograpb letter from Alfonso was delivered to Queen Victoria Satur? day, formally advising ber of bis ac? cession to the throne, and assuring her of his intention to rule over Spain on constitutional 1 prinoiples.

Hoar, Wheeler, Frye and Marshall, of tho Congressional Committee, arrived last .uigbt. They had a preliminary meeting to-day, and counsel of either side uuuudUuu the points of their cases as follows: The points submitted by the Repub? licans: 1. That we propone to show there were over 10,000 Republican voters intimidated from voting for Re? publican candidates; first, by the Col fax massacre; second, by theOoasbatta massacre; third, by the White League's conspiracy; fourth, by tho violent de? posing of parish officers throughout the State, and the installing of illegal MoEnery' officials; fifth, by general proscription and persecution of Re? publicans; sixth, by the insurrection of September 14. 2. That the White League is an organized conspiracy against the State Government, aud is confederated with kindred organiza? tions through the South, and that its a objeot is the overthrow of the recou " etructod government and tho virtual annallment of constitutional amend? ments, and that one of its dangerous results is an extensive revival of the old hostility against the Usited States Government. 3. That the pretended Wiltz Organization of the Houae of Representatives, on January 4, was a revolutionary mob and entirely desti? tute of legality, and that it was a con? spiracy to revolutionize the entire State Government. 4. We desire to submit evidenoe npon political assassi? nations and murders, proscription in theatres and other public places, aud the expulsion of colored children from tho schools by mobs. In answer to the points made by counsel of the other side ws will she? if allowed that the intimidatiou complained of by the United States military was, in fact, only that fear whioh parties guilty of complicity in the massacres of Colfax and Ooushatts, who thought that they wore saspeoted of suoh complicity, felt of the service of legal warrants for > tbeir arrest, whioh warrants could only be served safely in certain parts of the State under the-protection of the mili? tary forces of the United States. We also propose to show, by extracts from the files of the White League press, the boldest and most outspoken advo? cacy of assassination and murder of Republicans, as well as riots, armed revolution and armed resistance to tho United States. The points submitted by the Con? servatives are: 1. That tho election of 1874 was free and fair, as well as a peaceable election on the part of tho Conservative party; that tho Conserva? tives carried the election, procuring n majority of twonty-nino in the House, ton Senators, and their State Trea? surer, by four thousand aud odd ma? jority, and at least one additional member of Congress not returned by tho Returniug Board. 2. That the Returning Board falsified their result by illegal and 1 fraudulent practices. 3. That tho only intimidation practiced was by the Republican colored people against colored Conservatives by the uso of United States troops undor orders of the United States Marshal on or about election day, to iutimidute and deter white Conservatives from votiug. 4. The general prostration of the material interests of the State by bad and corrupt government, and tbo extraordinary depression of property of all kirtda throughout the State. 5. That there has been no intimidation or outrages against Republicans, uor have they boen ostracised on any po? litioal ground, but only on moral grounds, when they were considered corrupt snd immoral by tho communi? ties in whioh they lived. 6. That when erneutes have ocourred they bavo sprung from local causes, generally from oppression and robbery of tho people by corrupt officials, and were only politioal iu the sense that the people resisted the invasion of their rights, aud that in suoh erneutes the people were flrat attacked and out 1.', t' \ " ; .'' I j ... 1 r 1' " " ragea. 7. That the criminal statistics of tho State will ehow more homioides, arson and other crimes committed by the colored race than by the white race, and that the larger portion of said orimoa are traoeublo to the malad? ministration of the Government by Governor Kellogg's appointees and the wholesale pardoning of criminals by said Kellogg as Governor. 8. That where disturbances occurred they wore local, aud without collusion, co-opera? tion, or preconcerted action on the part of other portioua of the State. 9. That frauds were committed by the Republican party to the amouut of several thousand votes in the oity of New Orleans and throughout the State by fraudulent registration by super? visors of registration appointed by Kellogg, and that the said fraudulent papers were voted in the interest of the Republican party. 10. That the present Hahn House of Representa? tives is an illegal body, organized in violation of law, and has had at no time legal quorum; und lastly, wo deny generally all the allegations of fact and conclusions entertained in ths brief of points submitted by the Republican counsel, and especially that there ex? ists in this State any disloyalty to the Government of the United Stutep; aud of this we challenge proof. The committee will meet at 10 to? morrow, to hear evidence touching the proceedings of the Returning Board in relation to the election of 1874. Washington, January 25.?The ohances of Congressman Sam. Ran? dall, of Pennsylvania, fur the uext Speukership of the Houvu, bus heeu brought into promiueuce aud greatly strengthened by his vigorous course regarding the Louisiana outrage and efficient use of parliamentary tuotias against the Civil Rights Bill. The President sent to the House, to? day, the report of the Levoe Commis siouers, who reoommeud an immediate appropriation of 63,000.000 to repair existing crevasses in Louisiana, and $500,000 each for Arkansas and Mis? sissippi. It is stated, upon good au? thority, that no appropriations will be made beyond $300,000 for the official surveys. The statements frequently made aud published, that certain members of the Cabinet threatened to resign, on ac? count of differences of opiuron con? cerning the management of the Loui? siana matter, and that, iu cousequence thereof, the message of the Presiden* was changed in tone aud language, are authoritatively stated to be without foundation in fact. No such threat was inudo to the Presidout, aud there was no change in the tone aud charac? ter of the message, as has been stated.

Tho Judiciary Com? mittee reported au amendment to tho Constitution, fixing the Presidential term at six years and prohibiting re eleotion of the President, An interest? ing debate ensued, in which Butler, of Massachusetts, intimated his willing? ness to support Grant for u third term, M ft neoeseity to pal down lawlessness in the South, ?od in whiohE.

Tho amend* meot was defeated, (or want of tho neOQSsary two-thirds majority?vena 131; nays 104. In tbe Senate, Edmunds, of Ver? mont, introduced a bill to provide for and regulate the auuntiDg of votes for President and Vico-President; referred to Privileges and Elections. The fol? lowing bills were passed: Senate bill to facilitate tho disposition of cases in tbo Supreme Court. of the United States und for other purposes; House bill to amend 23d paragraph of Sec? tion 3 of tbe Act to regulate the fees and costs to be allowed Clerks, Mar? shals and Attorneys of Circuit aud District Courts of the United States, and for other purposes, approved Fob-, ruary 20, 1853; House bill to extend the provisions of an Act approved March 3, 1871, to provide for the col? lection of debts due irom Southern railroads, and for other purposes; House bill to provide for deducting any debt duo tho Uuited States from any judgment recovered against, the Uuited Slates by such debtor; Houfo bill relating to punishment of crime of manslaughter; Senate bill to change tbe boundaries of tbe Lastern and Western Judicial Distriots uf tbe Scute of Texas and tix tho times aud places of holding courts in tho same, wus passed, but Hamilton, of Texas, vn ten d a motion to reconsider. Loui? siana debate was then resumed and Pease, uf Mississippi, concluded his argument commenced yesterday. He said outrages were daily committed iu the South American Stales aud the American people should become awak? ened to tbe fart that the country was on tbe eve of another revolution more fatal in its results than tbe late rebel? lion. He argued that crime waB more frequent iu the South than tbe North, und read from statistics to show that such was tbe case. He denied that white men were evei puninbed iu the South for tho murder of negroes. Tbe sanif. spirit which pervaded the press of the South in 1861 existed to-day. He knew there was a large element in the South which did not subscribe to the?e wild doctrines. Tbo old Whig party did not subscribe to them; but that party was powerless; the same old Democrats who brought on the difficulty before were the men who wuru the leading editorial writes to-day?the men who were dring tbe Southern heart to murder and assassinate and overturn tbe Go? vernment of tho Uuited States, if ne? cessary. In ev? ry case where tbe trea? sury of the Southern States had been plundered, it had been done by De? mocrats. Members of that party were in the scheme some way. Ho argued that Mississippi was tho best recon? structed of tbe insurrectionary States, aud every dollar of tho State debt could be paid in two years. In conclu? sion, he culled upon Senator Thurmuu, of Ohio, as the leader of tbe Demo? cratic party, to say to the Democrats in tho South that outrages there must be stopped. Thurinan read from tbo speech delivered by him in tho Senate. January 18,1871, where he condemned anything iiko violence, and asked the people of the South to obey the laws. Ho arguod that tbe picture of tho con? dition of Southern society could not bo drawn by newspaper clippings. If they wero to bo taken, a picture of the condition of Northern society could bo drawn which would make any man living North of the Potomac shudder. Thurman will conclude his speech to-morrow.
