Tashingtos, Dec. 20. Üd Long's report, foand beside hia dead body, tas ben made public. It makes 20, COO words, and details the incidents o! the cruise from the departure et Sin Francisco in 1S7Ö to January, CS31. Its principal feature is an elaborate account of De Long's views in regard to the expedition. He considered it good judgment to head for Wrangle Land. His idea was to adopt that land as a support for tbe first winter's campaign. He embodies a story of how land waa sighted, and how he expected b reach it; grahpically describes how on the xt day the Jeannette becaane beset in tbe ice, never again to ba relieved, and says tbe "party was compelled to make virtue of necessity and stay where we were, some timea all nitrht and some times day and nigbt. from January 19 to February 4 Sweetmaa and Nindertuan mO'hI down in the fore peak, icy water flowing around them nearly to their knees, woiking faitb fully until their work was accomo ished and the good results of that work were evident in the .gradual reduced stuount of water coming into tbe ahip, and our ability to control the leak without such ruinous ex penditure of fuel as had been necessary heretofore. It ia for these reasons that I have had the honor to recommend these two men to you for medals of honor, at a recognition of tbe heroic couduct uad-er the most trying circumstances." Captain De Long's record of the remainder of the winter and summer of lKSi) is for the most part a monotonous recoid of storms, ice movements, cons-taut anxiety and almost nnbnken dii-appointruent as the short Arc-ti-p.iiium-r drew to a close without setting the Jeannette free and another dreary winter approached. Captain De Long evidently begin to revolvein his mind the question whether it would not be better to abandon the snip and make for the northern coast of Siberia over tbe ice, tha,nlj run the n-k of a second winter in the pack Under date f Septem ber2"J, 1SS0, he says: "I dislike naturally to dwell on the Idea of abandonment of tbe ship. We have come through bo muc'i it gives me hopes of surviving now. As long as enough of the fibip remains to shelter us. sticking by thaatfragment is preferable to camoiug on tbe ice, and I -cap c mceive cf no greater 'forlorn hop' than an itempt to reach Siberia (ay 240 miles distant) over th ice that eurrouuos us and with the winter's cold 8ppiig one's life at every step. Of course, if we were to loj-e our ship we would make an effort to get there, but our chances of success would be eitremely problematical." The last entry in the record is dated December 31. 18S0," and is as follows: 'Minstrels and ringing in new vear in latitude 73 43 ' north, longitude 178 32 " east. During the past sixteen months we have drifted-1,300 miles, far enough, if it had been in a straight line, to carry us to and beyond the pole but we are yet only 220 miles northwet of wbere we were 11 ret be et. We have 8ulIVred injury, and danger has often confronted us. We bave been t-quetzed and jammed, to-sed aod tumbled; we have puuiped a leaking ship for a year, but we are not jet daunted, and are as ready to dare everything as we ever were. AikI we fce the new year firmly hoping to do something worthy of oareivs of ttenneU's enterprise and of tbe flat? above us.' dn less than ten moo'bs after there worda were written the Jeannette was at the bottorn of tbe Arctic ocean and De Long dead in tbe Lena delta.

Mr. Adam Currence, an industrious and estimable citizen, reaided with bia family, consisting of himself, wife and six children, twenty miles eouth of Beverly, on the western slope ot Cheat Mountain.

New Brightos, Pa, Dt? 30 John Sweeney lives in a boat-house opposite this place'. Last Thursday night, while under the influence of liquor, he requested Samuel Clair to assist him across tbe river. Clair accom pa nied him to hia cabin, and neither man was seen until this morning, when a f aser by beard groans issuing from tbe boat house and the sound cf a man's voice repeating a prayer. On entering Sweeney, who was found on his knees, burst into a fit of laughter. Clair lay in a bunk, terribly hacked ui. five or six cuts being on hia breast and a fearful gash on the left leg. He wa- earned to bis b me, and his death is momentarily expected. Sweeney was lodged iu Jail. weene's occupation is tbat of a mate on the Ohio River steamers, and, when sober, he is regarded as inoffensive, and a genial, good-natured man; but when ander the influence of intoxicants is a most cruel bend. It is Bsid that some ten years ago he shot a young man on the steamer Armadillo on tbe Mississippi and threw him overboard, but he was yet able to wim, and got bold of the guard-rail of the boa', when Sweeney chopped off his ringers, and he fell back ii. to the water and his body waa never recovered.

A Cranky Lover. Va 5 dali a, 111., Dec 30 Quitea sensation waa produced here this morning by a middle-aged widow lady, well dressed and of rather prepossessing appearance, giving her name as Charlotte Arnold, appearing before 'Squire Gocbenow and swearing out a warrant tor ibe a' rest of one Thomas Frail, who. she alleged, had more than once threatened to kill her. It appears tbat Frail, wbo was formerly an employe in the stave and hoop factory here, became enamored of the woman in question, but wa- given no encouragement, and was told by her that he nerd not waste his affections upon her. This enraged him and he dee ared if she refused to let him pay her his regards he would kill her, if he knew be would bane tbe next minute lor it. She received, a letter from Frail a day or two ago, postmarked Bamaey, stating that be Would be here to-day on tue after uoou train, and for her (o meet him. He further said that if she then refused to comply with bis requirements he fully intended to take ber life; tbat if she failed to meet him at the train be would follow ber up and carry out his threat, regardless of what bis fate might be Policeman Snyder was at the train, and when Fiail stepped upon the platform be waa immediately taken in charge and piloted up to 'Squire Gocbenour'a office, where the woman wbo had sworn ber life agiinst him awaited bis arrival. Here be openly declared be entertained no thought of killing the woman, but was merely jest ing, and upon ftithfully pruiising that he would never uiolest ber, she bad him re leased. Wbile it is believed tbe woman yet fears Frail, but few now sympathize with ber. Doe to Despondency. St. Jobs ph. Mo., Dec. 30. Joseph Fox snicided this morning by a peculiar method.

Gambetta waa quite conscious to tbe last. The death agony lasted two hours. 8pulter, Etnnne and Dr. Frenzal were present at tbe last moment. The physicians who attended Gambetta state that his death was due to pyemia, caused by suppressed erysipelas. A clot of bluod formtd in the heart and suffocated tbe deceased. A plaster cast of tbe face was taken this morning. There will be an autopsy tomorrow, A state funeral is expected to be given. The r'.eath of Gambetta created an immense svnsatiou here. Group gathered in i h- boulevards by 9 o'clock ibis morning, dif cussing it. It is reported tbat he will be buried at Nice, beside hits mo her. Presi dentGievy was muchaffec ed by the news. Gambetta I-ft no pcliiial testament. He made a private will fc'aturdny. The pa pes reporting bia death are selling on evfc'y reet,and crowds are struggling to procute them. Telegrams were fcnt to President Orevy and o ber authorities imtuediatelv after bis death. Gambetta died in a state ot uncoti-ciouness but in tbe o urce of tbe aft-moon be e i claimed: 'I ami st. It is useless to dissimulate; but I bave suffered to much' that it will he a deliverance." For nearly twenty bouts before Gambetta becaiue unconscious, be complained that he was tort urrd with pain as lf a bill of redbot iron was inside him. He bad recently became asthmatic, and it was therefore not permissible to ventilate his room properly. Sevnal times during his illnena be spoke to Bert, member of tbe Chamber of Deputies, npon a -me matters weignug on his ruind, but always bru2y. Kane and

Spulter were summoned to his bedside for !

tne purpose of receiving a communication, but eyncope preceding hia death had begun when tney arrived. It is believed tbe hopeful tone of the bulletins issued dunnj Gambetta'a illness was due tq the advice of Dr. Charcot, who did not wish the eick man. when papers were read bim, to bear anything that might hare a depressing rfi'ect The funeral will be conducted with purely civil rites. Tbe family are anxious that the burial take place at Nice, but friends advise it to be at Paris. In consequence of tbe high functions de ceased bad filled tbe authorities have thought it expedient to place seals upon his papers. But few newspapers appeared to Hay in consequence of its being a holiday. None of the articles published so far n Meet on the political effect of Gambetta's death, but onflne themselves to deploring the death of a statesman who did uot despair after Sedan. The Kepublique Francais states that, at 6 o'clock yes erday evening, ibe doctors pres ent in the room with Gambetta perceived the absccs? lad bunt internally. At 10:45 Gambetta recovered consciousness sufficiently In thank his friends for their attention, which he did with perfect calmness. His breathing then became more difficu't. A stream of tbe most notable Republicans is now passing through the death chamber. Tbe face of the deceased has already become swollen and is greatlv changed. This afternoon a man selling copies of a newspaper, the Radical, ccntsinir g a tcurrilous article concerning Gambetta, was seized by the crowd on the boulevard, bis papers destroyed and tbe police had great difficulty in mcuitg bim from the excited populace. Tb6 Opportunist paty appears stunned by the death of Gambetta. . Tbe conductors of the Republique Francai.e have received telegrams of condolence from all parts of France. The Councsl of Ministers have decided that Gambetta onnld be buried at the expense of the State. Alf KK0LI8H TIIW. LoitDoir. Jan. 1 The Pall MallGazet'e this evening taj s: "It is thought the death of Gambetta will not break up the Republic. It will have minor effects of very obvious importance. Though far too sagacious to be other than a convinced partisan of the Republic, Gacubetta has always been very susceptible of the forco of French traditions. He thought himself a new Mazarin or Richelieu. Liberalism all over E irope will deplore the loss of this great and remarkable figure of a sta esman, wbo used hia truly virile mind for a noble cause, and who will line in French history among the most courageous, acute and effective founders of tbe Republic. Tbe measures of his loss is a secret or avowed satisfaction, with which it wili be hailed by the reactionists and enemies of free government all over Europe." GERMAN WIW'PAFIRS OK HIS DtATH. Bxklin, Jan. 1 Almost all the newt papers bave articles on Gambetta. The semi official Post says: "The most eminent politician of France has departed. He was a man of strong passions and great power, who seemed still determined to play a great part in history. It is a significant question whether it would have been a beneficial one" The National Zeiturg says: "Germany has lost its greatest enemy. Gambe t a knew bis reputation in tbe futuie was-bonnd up wii the war of revenge, and bis"Whole ent'rgy was directed in preparing it. There fore, he may be said to have constituted himself a permanent danger to the peace of Europe " The Tagblatt says: "The man of uncompromising revenge is dead. His decease affords us better steority for peace tban any sort of alliance. His grandly constituted character commanded certain respect, even from his enemies; but now there is no necessity to conceal the fact tbat the peace of Europe appears to be more lastingly secured than for a long time." WKABY AND DISGUSTED. Loitaos, Jan. 1. The Standard says: "An intimate friend of Gambetta states tbat he bad become a confirmed hypochondriac. Weariness and disgust at the failure of bis projects may explain much that is mysterious in the life just closed." HOBE BEW8FAPEB COM ME ST. Home, Jan. I. The Capital, Liberia and Stampa, tbe only papers published to-day, contain obituaries of Gambetta. The Liberia say: "His death will tend to increase tbe conflicta between extreme political factions in Prance.' The Staraoa eajs: "The decease of Gambetta has left a great void.
