THE EFFECTS OF PEACE. 55233
How French Good Will be Affected uv the
1 lone of the Wnr.
In conversation with prominent Importers of
French goods, it is ascertained that tbe effect of
the close of the Franco-Prussian war will not be
, very marked immediately, but that the summer
and fall trades will be materially affected.
When the 6iege of Paris became imminent, the
tradesmen and merchants of that capital hurried
out their goods as fast as they could, and threw
them into tho English markets, getting them
out of the country by the ports then open, and
in this way glutted the Euglish markets to
suck an extent as to depreciate the value of the
goods.
American merchants took .advantage of this
state of affairs, and purchased liberally, which
will account for the excessive importations
durirg tbe last half of 1870 and thus far in the
present year. The manufacturers of mcrinoes,
who have their establishments on the Belgian
frontier, have been Jn the practice of making up
their goods at their factories, and sending them
to Paris to be dyed and packed for shipment.
Tbe siege of Paris prevented the prosecution of
this course, and consequently they were obliged
to dye tbe goods in the manufactories and ship
through Belgium. The merinos were thrown
npon tbe market in an imperfect state and
a-iserably packed, and the manufacturers sus
tained considerable loss thereby. Now that the
siege of Paris has been raised, the goods can
again be sent to that city, and as they will not
bo wanted until tbe fall trade, ample time will
be civen to finish them in the usual manner.
Silks and velvets have been very low during
tho war, by reason of the enormous supply on
tbe market; but it is expected that the price of
raw silk will advance immediately, as also the
price of labor throughout France, and that
hereafter, and for many years, the prices of
silks and velvets will be greatly enhanced. The
fact is pointed out that during our own civil
war the prices ot material and labor were ad
vanced to a point from which there has even
now been little reduction, though ten years have
elapsed since tho breaking out of the war. The
French people have been impoverished to a cer
tain extent; they have an enormous debt to
discharge, and it is not reasonable to expect
that the laborer or artisan will or can work now
at ante helium prices.
The population has been reduced by the
ravages of war, largo manufacturing districts
have been laid waste, and the people of France
must and will demand a greater price for their
labor and the results thereof than they ever did
before. Taking this view of the condition of
affairs in which peace find France, the import
ers do not see bow it is possible for French
goods to be any lower than they are now, and
expect that they will appreciate in value from
tbirly to fifty per cent.
Tbe same may be said of German goods. The
people of Germany have been compelled to sa
crifice their industrial occupations, and it is
unreasonable to expect that they will be ena
bled to return to them for many months. They,
too, have a heavy load of debt to carry, and the
prices of labor and material must advance in
the same proportion that they will in France.
The immediate effect of the war
was seen in the advance in the
price of wines and imported liquors, which
continue at the high rate, and will there remain
for some time. It is thought that the French
will rapidly recuperate, for they have been a
provident people, have lived cheaply, and most
of the laboring classes managed to lay up
money in times of prosperity. They will now
avail themselves of the funds which they have
left In store to start afresh, and not only wipe
out their own score of debt, but enable the Gov
ernment to pay the indemnity demanded by the
conqueror.
THE IXDIASS.
Frauds Upon tbe Aborarlaee and tbe Remedy

We make tie following extract, from the
recent report of the Congressional committee,
and append the remedial measures that passed
tbe Senate and House of Representatives yes
terday: It will thus be seen that ont of the payment of

33, 6t0, and ont of $90,000 to ttie Quapaws, 130,000;
In tbe aggregate 1146,100, out of payments amount
ing to t'if 9 000. As It was not believed to be of suf
ficient importance to delay the presentation of this
report, the committee did not attempt to ascertain
how much was paid to the traders, which could only
have been learned, If at all, by sending for witnesses
from a distance at great expense; aad as neither
General itlunt's conduct, nnr that of tite agents now
ont of the employ of ttie United states, nor of the
traders, can be Investigated by Congress for any
other purpose except to preveut tho repetition of
such extortion and misconduct In the future, the
committee think they have performed their duty by
calling attention to the facta and the existing laws,
and by suggesting such legislation as will prevent a
reoetitlon of these things, as it Is fair to presume
tbe c?ses to which the attention of the committee
have been directed are only specimens of the whole.

referred to:

The United States store-ship Supply, Lieutenant-Commander
George Dewey, has finally

not well be stored on board the ship.
Captain Dewey and his officers have been fur

of introduction to eminent citizens of France,
who will, no doubt, tender them a most hospi

ble Appearance Cause Her Detection to be
Hotbed Up.
Tbe Cleveland Leader says: A kleptomaniac
in the form of a young woman in widow's
weeds! came to this city from Newburg, a
short time ago, and strolled into Hower Si Hig
bee's dry goods store to examine floods and
make a few purchases After examining and
buying what she wanted, the small bill was paid
and the lady made ber exit, taking with her a
costly shawl, which, in her absent-mindedness,
she forgot to pay for. Crossing over into Ken
dall & Son's, she mado a few more purchases,
and slipped under her sbawlseveral articles lying
on the counter. One of tbo clerks detected her,
and before the could reach the door her passage
was barred, and an order given to stand and sur
render. The pilfered articles were taken from beneath
ber sombre mantle, and with them fell to the
floor a costly shawl, which was thonght to have
been stolen irom tbe lact ot its being concealed
and uncnveloped. The woman's checks were at
once wet with tears, as, with a sobbing voice,
she made known her terrible propensity for
taking whatever came within her reach when
she thought no one was looking. She begged
and pleaded that nothing should be said of the
matter, declared that disclosure would bring
infamy upon her family, and that if the gentle
men would but give ner a lew nours liberty sue
would produce such proofs of her character for
ntegruy, nonor, and virtue as would put to
flight ull their suspicious. Mr. Kendall finally
yielded to ber entreaties, and taking her address
and a valuable goia watcn ana cnam as "ban
for reappearance, permitted her to go home.
llie next day Air. Kendall was accosted by a
clergyman, a resident of Newburg, who had
come all the way from that place to mako an
appeal in behalf of the unfortunate klepto
maniac, ne represented that it was really not
tbe woman s fault. Time ana again ene naa
committed, be said, tbe same acts while under
the control of an irresistible impulse. He pleaded
bis case as eloquently as tbe lawyers recently
argued emotional insanity, and with a great
deal more success, in a snort time ne maae nis
exit from the store with living? colors, bearimr
away the watch and chain, ard promising that
the lesson should have a salutary effect on the
poor woman. Since then she has been seen in
the store on different occasions, and on her next
visit she will be arrested, as it is too much trou
ble to watch all her movements.

The German Entry Into Paris.
Paiub, March 1. (Special to N. Y. Herald.)
On the Boulevard Honore at 8 o'clock this
morning, when it was dark and cold, three
members of the National Guard and a few
women carrying bread were the only persons
visible. I turned the corner into the Rue
Rot ale and saw a cordon of sentries stretching
across the street and a line of artillery caissons
interlocked. No carriage was allowed, to pass
the approaches to the Elysees. The Pont de la
Concorde, quay, and the Rue Rivoll were all
barred in the same manner.
No Hpertatore Were Visible.
There were not more than ten people on the
Champs Elysees; not a siga of the coming event
was visible; all was so silent that the dullness
became almost oppressive, especially as it was
impossible not to feel

that seemed floating in the air. As I reached
the Arc do Triomphe, a little after 7 o'clock,
half a dozen men, wearing blouses, were stand
ing with their hands in their pockets gazing
down the avenue of Ncuilly. A little further
on I met a group of Englishmen. At ten min
utes past 8, looking through my field-glass from
the bridge, a mile off, I saw one horseman, then
another, and then more, npproachlrg at rapid
gallop. I had hardly timo to cry
"Here they Are!"
before they had reached tho barrier at Port
Maillot. Two others, who had been riding on
the sidewalk, joined them. In another instant,
The First fruaslans were lanldc of Pari,
directly within the gate. Six hussars spread
out and came up the avenue of the Grand Army
at a rapid trot, sometimes breaking into a hard
gallop.

Ten paces in advance ef these rode a young
officer of about twenty, sword in hand. It is
said be was selected to this honor as a reward
for his great bravery in the field. The men
carried carbines resting on their thighs.
On tbev Came at a Rattling f aee.
A small party dashed to the Arc de Triomphe,
and under it they went without drawing bridle,
over heaps of stones and sand which had been
left, possibly to prevent their passage.
They reined up sharp at the top of the
Champa Elyaeea,
with tirailleurs in the front. As I turned toward
the Arc de Triomphe, I saw another officer, with
a trumpeter at his side, galloping up the avenue,
and behind them, at a little distance, a dozen or
more hussars.
A Cloud of Infantry
was eeen approaching, but at such a distance
that the little squad of cavalry was for a mo
ment entirely unsupported. When I reached
the Arc I asked the young officer his name. He
replied politely,
"lAentenant Yon Bernardy,
of the 14th Hussars." As he was speaking his
captain joined the party. There was an expres
sion of excited tatiefactlon about both, but no
swagger. After a few minutes, -...

Van Eeten'a "pal," George W.Chadwick, was
fully indicted yesterday by the Grand Jury of
the United Kutes Court, for altering a stolen
United States registered bond for 1 1 0.000, aud
will be arraigned next Tuesday. The proofs in
tbe case are said to be singularly couclusive;
and in connection with the case some curious
developments in regard to tbe manipulation of
stolen bonds are expected. Chadwick, it cou
victed, will be doomed to 15 years la - the State

Seldom has a criminal been pursued with such
rigor as Van Eeten. The Bank of California,
noted for its relentless prosecution of those who
have defrauded li; Well, Fargo & 'o., who had
lost nothing by Van Eeten, but who were de
termined that he should be captured, if possl
ble; the Continental aud Park Natloual Banks,
and Hallgarten & Co.. have steadily contributed
to the cost of tbe search for him, and Messrs.
Tlmpson, of the Cottinental, and Goddard, of
Wells, . Fargo & Co., have pewonally
concerned themselves in the pursuit
with great persistence. Detective Sampson
was from tbe first, with the consent of the Board
of Brokers, employed by Wells, Fargo & Co.,
and their associates, in working up the case:
and the assistance of Detectives Elder aud
McDougal, and the ready co-operation of Su

most formidable gangs of forgers that has ever

A BUlUqAlt IX A BOX.
How the Hoppoaeri Esprrsa Robber Explain
iho Matter.
Further Information from Denver throws dis
credit upon the story sent by telegraph, that
one F. C. Cross, a young man from Massachu
setts, attempted to rob an express car on the
Union Pacific Railroad, by crlniner admission
Into it In a box to be sent as freight. He himself
has said, since bis arrest, that his funds were
getting low, and that, finding bis fare home
would cost bim $C5, whllo tbe box could be sent
for 930, he made tbe box and attempted to get a
cheap papsage to New England. The Denver
lribune describes ine interior oi the box, and
speaks of Cross thus:
in one end of the box is frame-work, netted
with stout twine, a fine thing for the head to
rest upon. The other end is the commissary.
Here are bread, cakes, a can of butter, apples,
and many little dainties for a long journey.
Here are books and papers, an odd suit and
other comforts. Theonly suspicious thing about
it is the armory a pistol. His manner leaves
no doubt that he is partially demented He
rays be hopes people will not laugh at him.
His freak was merely an effort to get a cheap
ride to Boston. "The thing didn't worn, and
here I am." Tbere are intimations current to
day that a part of this "cunningly-devised plan"
was the robbery of the express. Those who
know this young man can't believe that he is
familiar with the wicked ways of tbe world.
Tbey look upon the whole thing as a kind of
strange freak, done, as tbeyoung man expresses
it, "partly for fun, and partly for economy."
