Defeated*
London, Fetruary 7.—The Post of this
morn.np thinks it qnite certain that Glad-
stohe will resign tbe prianiership before the
new parlnmens assembles. The press of
the city unanimously recognize the com
pleteness of defeat of the government in the
elections. A large mcetiog was held in St.
June's lastnight for the purpose of express
ing sympathy for the Roman Catholics of
Germany. The Duke of Norfolk presided.
The Bleamship Ambassador, laden with a
section of the Brazilian cable, broke from
her moorings at Woolwick yesterday and
was carried some distarce up the Thames
before the crew succeeded in securing an
anchor. While tho steamer was adrift she
fonled wi'.h thirty-two colliers, sinking two
of them and damaging others. Several of
the men on the colliers were severely in
jured.
3:30 A. m.—It is reported lhat Gladstone
has sent his resignation to the Qucene.
A collision of trains occurred on tho
Great Western Railroad near West Aroyton
elation last evening, and several persons
were killed and a number injured.
5:30 a. jT.—The Daily Telegraph says that in Carpenter’s bill of last year,
the opinion of the country has been pro- ~
noun ceil, and it is strongly adverse to Glac-
stonc. He will comply with the decision, as
be is bound to do, and will follow constitu
tional precedents set by Peel, Melbourne and
others under similar circumstances.
They met in Parliament with a royal
speech, and either resigned thereupon or
submitted to formal defeat. Not only is the
field lost, but it is lost most decisively.
The result Is to be attributed to Mr. Bruce’s
unpopular licensing act, the division of the
Liberal Party on side issues. Education Act,
Female Bull rage, The Permissive Bill, etc.,
the deep and not unnatural displeasure at
violent language against society by the sup
porters of the Workingmens candidate, and
lastly, want of tact ana sympathy shown by
several members of the administration.
The Liberals gain seats in Coloran and
~ ilersm Dundatt:
iStFTw:-But
lr. Oshanghnessy, M rquis of H&rting-
ton is re-elected from Ridner. According to
the latest disoatches.four hundred and eighty
four members of Parlias&ent have been re
tained, of whom two hundred and fifty-five
were Conservatives and two hundred and
twenty-nme Liberals. The Conservatives
replace seventy-one Liberals and tho latter
have ousted twenty-seven Conservatives.
6 r. ic.—In the elections held lo-dav 31
Conservatives, 18 Liberals and three Home
Rulers were returned from twenty-two con
stituencies. The Conservatives have gained
one seat each in Ayreshire, Sterlingham,
Leeds, Chelsea, Oldham and Lower Hamlet.
The Home Rulets have gained seats In Clon
mel, Mayo, and tW'» in Waterford city. Sir
Charles Dilke was re-elected in Chelsea, at
the head of the poll. His Liberal colleague

the rights of the State of Louisiana, com
mences with a long preamble declaring that
there is no Governor, Lieutenant-Governor,
Secretary of State, Attorney General,
Auditor of Public ‘ ccomta, Superintendent
of Education or Legislature elected by the
legal votes of the State of Louisiana, ac
cording to the Constitution and laws thereof,
and there is nc provison in said Constitution
and laws for the election of said State
officers before the next regular election to be
held in November. 1876; that the said offices
are now filled defacto by persons claiming
to hold them under a pretended fraudulent
and void canvass of the vote given
ut the last general election; that
a pretended legislature has been
organised in pursuance of illegal orders is
sued by a Judge of the United States Circuit
Court, that the President’s proclamation re
cognizing the said persons as legal officers of
said State was issued upon the representa
tions of said persons, who, it now appears,
are not legal officers; that the people of
Louisiana are in danger of being oppressed
and involved in vexations legislation by acts
of the pretended Legislature, and that the
public peace in Louisiana is now preserved
and can only be preserved during the
existing state of things at the
expense of the United States,
and by retaining a part of the army in said
State. Therefore, the bill provides for hold
ing an election in Louisiana on the fourth
Tuesday of next May for the above named
State officers, and for such members of the
Legislature as ought to have been chosen on
the fourth of November, 1872. The Presi
dent of the United States is required to ap
point some person, or designate some officer
of he army, not below the- rank of Major-
General, to act as superintendent of said
election.
This Superintendent is to appoint two
citizens of Louisiana of opposite political
parties to be State Registrar®, the registration
to be commenced within twenty day a after
the enactment of this bill, and to be com
pleted ten days prior to the date of election.
These registrars are required to appoint tytfo
Supervisor of Registration of oppbsite- po
litic tl parties in each parish, except Jefferson
and Orleans, for the lormer of which there
are to be four Supervisors, and for the latter
two,in each wa:d.
The bill proceeds at great length to pre
scribe the details of registration and
election, these provisions being sub
stantially the same as those contained
in Carpenter’s bill of last year. In case the
President appoints a civilian to be superin
tendent of the election, the latter is to re
ceive five thousand dollars for his services,
and if an army officer shall be appointed su
perintendent and shall wilfully fail to per-
torm tho duties prescribed by this bill he
shall be lined not exceeding one thousand
dollars, or bo imprisoned at hard labor not
exceeding one year. The bill also provides
that it shall also be lawful for the President
of the United States to employ such part of
the land and naval forces of the United States
as shall be necessary to aid in the execution
of the judicial process to carry out aud en
force its provisions, to maintain the public
peace, and to sustain the officers appointed
under this act in the discharge of their duties;

be an officer of the State of Louisiana, or any

The Baptist Society in West Dedham,
Mass, is in tronble with its pastor. The Bos
ton Herald thus describes the origin .of the
difficulty: Christmas eve the Society had a
sccial party at the Vestry, and having en
joyed a supper, some of the younger persons
present commenced the innocent game of
‘drop the hankerchief.’ This the pastor, Rev.
8.T. Frost, didn’t like, and told them that
‘the chnrch was built for a house of God,and
not for kissing par tie.’ Now, Mr. Frank
Soule and his three sons were present, who,
by the way, are a part of the mainstay of
the church, and one of' the sons asked
the minister what harm it would do
for the children to have a good time. This
remark the father also seconded. ‘ Oh! yes,’
says the parson, • you and your three ungodly
sons would turn the church into a card-room
and gambling-house.’' The younger son over
paid the remark, and, with pugilistic feeling,
exclaimed: 'Father, knock himl I would
if he told me that more than once.’ This
overzealons action, with other things which
have reached the ears of the members of the
Society, raised a feeling of indignation in
the church, and the pastor was advised to
resign. He at first refused to do so, but
being told that money enough to warm the
chnrch coaid not be obtained toward his sup
port, he concluded that it was best to resign.’
One of the deputies of the Evangelical Al
liance from London, Rev. J. C. Harrison, of
London, was much scandalized by the free
way in which he was advertised in the dries
of our country. He eaw himself announced
one day as “one of the most remarkable and
brilliant preachers of the day.” Much per
plexed and mortified, he went to Dr. Dexter,
of the Congregationalist, who said: ‘*0, that
doesn’t mean much in America.”

Holly Grove, Abe., January 28,1874.
Editor* Constitution : While the more for
tunate Southern States are prospering in
every branch of commerce, this State, by
Radical misrule and the most glaring frauds,
is retrogressing rapidly, politically and finan
cially. The tax-payers are groaning under
the burthens of grievous and illegal taxation.
These have increased twenty per centum
within the last twelve months. Is there
no way to remedy this evil? There is
but one effectual way, and that is for the
tax-payers to refuse to pay until they have
ascertained and are satisfied with the man
ner by which the treasury has been emptied
of their money. They have this right, why
not assert it? They have been indirect ob
servers that their hard earnings have been
diverted from their propper into fraudulent
channels. The mass of converaatives are
resting upon their oars with the fond antici
pation that something will happen that they
can take advantage of, while the dominant
party are exerting themselves in every man
ner to improve upon this inaotiveness. By
this they are advancing in fraud and cor
ruption.

Adelina. Patti.
The following is a copy of the original
contract of tnis famous prints donna with
M. Strakosch, and now in that manager’s
possession:
contract.
Adelina Patti, resident in Paris, and by
authority of her husband, of the first part;
and Maurice Strakosch of the second part.
This bond witnesseth that Adelina Patti
hereby engages herself to be in New York on
the 15th of September, J874. After she has
reposed herself from the fatigues of theToy-
age, she engages herself to sing in the cities
of the United States and Canada, under the
management of Max Strakosch, who repre
sents Maurice Strakosch, one hundred nights,
in operas, oratorios or concerts, according to
the choice of Mr. Strakosch.
The representation is to be two or three
times a week, as Madame Patti chooses.
Madame Patti is not to sing on such days as
she travels, or in case of sickness. She en
gages to sing one hundred nights m America,
and her engagement shall be prolonged until
this is done.
The operas which are to he given are to be
chosen by common consent, but they are to
be those which she has sung in London.
Mr. Strakosch engages himself to pay
Madime Patti foreach of these performances
10,000 francs ($2,500), which are to be paid
to her after each representation of opera,

of 500,000 francs. The snm will remain de
posited with Rothschild until the comple

such fund3 as will secure to Mr. Strakosch
interest on the money.
The traveling expenses to the United States
of Madame Patti, her husband, also two
other persons of first, and two more persons
of second class, who are to be chosen by her,
will be defrayed by Mr. Strakosch.
The rights of force majenre which may
arise, and other things which may interfere
with the present contract, are to be decided
in favor of Strakosch.
In case there shall be any impediment
which may prevent Madame Patti from ful
filling her contract, or may interrupt the exe
cution of this engagement which she con
tracts by the present agreement, Mr. Stra
kosch has a right to take his securities lrom
Baron Rothschild.
In case Mr. Strakosch fail to deposit 500,000
francs with Baron Rothschild, all the above
conditions are null and Aoid, and Madame
Patti is fc!3y released.
The pn-sent engagement is signed by the
Marquis de Caux, in his capacity of husband
of A ademe Patti, who has authorized her to
make this contract.

"Washington, January 25,1874.—Wash-

nothing of scandal. A cosmopolitan, ever

Money easy at4a5.
Representatives of several prominent
savings banks were in Wall street to-day
trying to bay Governments in order to em
ploy their surplus funds, trustees having
given up all hopes tending their money on
call, owing to the limited demand and low
rate of interest. Insurance companies were
also in the market for same purpose; this rival-
ly for bonds caused a sharp advance in prices
to-day. Individual investors continued
their purchases of dividend-paying railroad
shares, the effect of which was seen in a fur
ther rise in prices on the stock exchange.
The fact is, money has become a perfect drug
in the market, and the financial situation is
likely to continue easy for a long time to
come.

The market for cotton on the spot has been
very quiet throughout the whole week, and
values have remained more or less nominal,
as buyers and sellers were apart in their
viewB. Receipts being lees than the previous
week gave holders more confidence, but the
extreme prices were too high, and as the re
sult the market has been very dull. As noted
last week, many orders from tbe other side
had been withdrawn entirely, and those that
were to be filled were at reduced rates, ship
per’s bids at about Jal-2 cent below current
prices. Exchange was slightly im
proved on Friday; and dealings were
increased, as sellers give way and meet the
viewB of buyers more liberally. Purchasers,
however, were needed to complete the first
engagements in choice grades. New Orleans
and Texas cotion are not plenty, but of up
land there is an abundance of all grades.
Dealings in contracts has been comparatively
light; tendency of prices has been downward.
The total Bale* of the week were 123,282
bales, of which 117,450 bales were on con-,
tract, and 5,832 for immediate delivery.
Spirits turpentine and rosin have materially
advanced and considerable business has been
consummated.
