THE GIIA.ND ENTRY. I-A ST MUIlf DE-iPATCIIES. THE GERMAN CONGTEllORS IN PARIS HOW THE VICTORIOUS LEGIONS ADVANCED NO DIS TURBANCES OCCUR. Paris, March 1. The head of the column of the 11th Corps, under General Von Buae, is jn6t entering Pont du Jour and Porte Mail lat, moving towards Aro de Triomphe. No hostile movement of the populace has yet been seen, and the prospect of a collision is diminishing. At 10 o'clock A. M. the 11th Corps, num bering thirty thousand men, with ninety-six pieces of field artillery and the usual propor tion of cavalry, advanced in two columns, one at Porte Nouilly, and the other at Pont du Jour. The former advanced at a pretty rapid pace tip the avenue of the Grande Armee, direct for Aro de Triomphe, the French troops vacating the streets as the Germans approaohed. The other column entering at Pont de Jour, below Antenil, commenced to march alon.q the quay on the north side of the Seine, direct for Place de la Concorde, where the rendezvous of the two columns is fixed. The zone surrendered to the Germans was almost entirely free of French. It commences at the extreme southwest corner of the en ceinte, which forms a point, and runs in the fcbape of an irregular triangle, of which the Heine forms the eabt Bide, the enceinte from Pont dn Jour to Porte des Ternes the west side, and Faubourg Honore, Avenue des Ternes, from line ltoyale to the enoeinte, the north side, or base. The only point within these limits retained by the French are the baking establishment of the Army of Paris, Quai de Belly, and Pont de Jena. As the troops proceeded along the line the artillery took positions from Porte de Neuilly to the Place de la Conoorde, and from Pont du Jour to the same point, as a precautionary measure. Nothing could exceed the splendid appear ance of the troops, who turned out in as per fect order as if on a parade-ground at home. The chief thoroughfares were quiet, 'and few persons were about from 0 to 0 A. M. The shop windows were shut, and the aspect of the city was desolate.- The Nationales are posted aa pickets in every avenue,with lines of sentries across the streets to prevent persons going beyond the line of demarcation. From 10 to 12 o'clock the same aspect was presented, with more people in the streets in small crowds,ud with more Nationales on duty. At Rue Eoyale, ltivoli, and Place de Con corde are double lineB of wagons cutting off communication. Most of the women are out in mourning and going to mass. On Champs Elvsees hardly a person was seen. All the bouses were closed except three or four small cafes. No one was seen at the windows, and only a few Italian, Amerioan, and English flags were flying, and one eingle French flag hung over the hall ox the corps i,egisiatn. At nine A. M. the head of the Prussian advance was seen rounding Aro de Triomphe to the surprise of the few who were present Both men and women were seen hurrying away in tears, and only boys and a few work men were lft. The German hussars gal loped down every avenue leading to tne lug Uttrcfrom. Not the slightest attempt at disturbance oc curred. About four thousand infantry an-l cavalry only were in the advance. There was no music, not a drum was beat or tru u Eet sounded. A splendid body of men alted opposite Palais dTndustrie, which wi-t at once occupied by hussars. A few uhlans rode down Place de la Con corde, where they viewed with derision the faces of the statues covered with crape. The Germans are astonished at the mourn ful aspect of the city and tha desertion of its streets. THE PRELIMINARY CONDITIONS OF TEACE RATI FIED. Bordeaux, March 1. In the Naliona' As sembly to-day the Committee on Consultation, which accompanied M. Thiers to Versailles, made their report, unanimously recommend ing the ratification by the Assembly of the preliminaries of peace. M. Bomberger, a deputy from Moselle, adjured the Assembly to reject any terms involving the cession of French territory. He strongly denounoed Napoleon HI. A violent agitation arose in the Chamber on an attempt by M. Conti, formerly private secretary of tho Emperor, to speak in justi fication of th6 Empire. The Assembly enthusiastically and unani mously voted by acclamation a resolution of fered by M. Targes decreeing the fall of the Empire, and stigmatizing Napoleon as the author of the misfortunes of France. The Assembly then voted the ratitication of the preliminary conditions of peace by olf yeas against 107 nays. AGRICULTURE. Tlic Agricultural Society laterestlng Meet I ox The Butter OiicniIod. A stated meeting of the Philadelphia Society for tho Promotion of Agriculture was held 3'ea tcrday afternoon iu the hall, Ninth and Walnut streets. The mlnut.es were read and approved. At tlic meeting of last mouth a resolution was adopted requesting members of the society, and others who make butter for their own use or for sale, to furnish specimens of their manufacture to the meeting of to-day, when three persons were to be appointed a committee to judge of the iua'ity of the butter sent. Accordingly at the meeting numerous speci mens of tho article were displayed on a Ion? table spread in the hall. Tho sight was of a very tempting character. The president of the society appointed Messrs. Darlington, Johnson and Blight on the commit tee to judge of the merits of the butter. Tncy accordingly proceeded to their labors. 'lhe various specimens were thoroughly ex amined and tested by the committee, who had a splendid time all to themselves, the other mem bers of the society looking on. Bread for the purpose of ue?e in connection with the butter was furnished by the society, aid the free lunch tbus formed was thoroughly enjoyed by the committee. While the committee were pursuing their in vestigation, the society filled up the time with a dlscusBion on the subject of tho proper food for cows tho milk from which it i9 proposed to uso for the purpose of makiug butter. The discus sion was taken part in by Messrs. Iogersoll, Sathcrthwaitc, and Morris, and Mr. Harvey, of the experimental farm. The various specimens of butter submitted to the judgment ot the committee were numbered j only so as to procure a lair judgment, lhe names of the parlies who had furnished the specimens were retained by the President of tho society. To other members and the committee tho specimens were known only by the numbers. The committee, after due deliberation, re ported that all the specimen submitted were of excellent quality throughout, but that they con sidered No. 8 deserving of the first prize, No. 4 of the second, and No. 5 of the third. The President announced that No. 8 was furnished by Mr. Satterthwaitof Montgomery county, No. 4 by Mr. Ingersoll, and No. 5 by Mr. Gowturup of Chester county. A resolution was offered on tho centennial exposition, applauding the actiou of Congress In the matter of appointing a committee to co operate with other societies of like character iu the Department of Agriculture. The discussion of the resolution was postponed until the next meeting, wheu definite Information could bj obtained as to what will be done. The three gentlemen who had taken the but ter prizes gave the result of their experience in the mantfacture, and the breeds of cows used, after which the society adjourned. TAX-rATLNG. One fthe Mad Realises of Mfe-The Ordeal Tbi ITJornlDK The scent-. There is nothlug romantic in raying taxes. nothing attractive, for in it we d it cover ono of those stern realities wuicn every unhappy property owner is destined to undergo. It is uennlteiy settled that however much a citizen may moralize upon patriotism in the abstract, and the duty be owes his country, wtether in the unsangulnary mode of sustaining it with bis money or lu nis presence on the held ot battle, there is notbiBg that appears to him so obnoxious as paying his tax -s. He regurdi this Imposition as uu unmitigated gouge, and looks upon the entire horde of ct Hectors as his eno mies; wtile usually from tLj moment the Ue celver announces the time set for the payment until it irrlves, he Is imbiied with a moping melanotic ly, grows peevisi.. und wonders "when the taxes will be reduced!' But for jwarned of the penalties Imposed by authority If he procrastinate, ai d attracted by the knowledge that if he U pronpt a slight dis count will be given bun a little concession to mitigate lhe strk gency of the 1 w he takes tua earliest opportunity to end the ordeal. This mon i tli en, we had the interesting picture, and it still exists, of a great Ihiong of people jammed together in the ReceUer of Taxes office and without. Tho clerks labor Jd with fervent zeal, and yet did the Impatient crowd regard them with a vlndktl eness for a fancied indo lence. The cash poi red heavily Into the Iron coffers, and yet they ntood gaping for more. In that thick mass ot humanity was represeuted a mental as weil as moral kaleidoscope, wbicii, whenever jostled, discovered some new d sten. per or some choice piece of muttered proUultj Observe a scene: An elderly lady, with a sharp voice, ap proaches the railing. "Your name, madam?" exclaims the clerk. "No. 4444 Moyamensing avenue." "Ah, yes. Just tlttl 50." "That's nice," responds the lady in a tone so loud that every one must hear. "Why couldn't you have added the fifty cents and made a clean hundred? But you're such good people (sarcas tically) of course you would'nt Uke anything. I'd like to know what's to be the end of alt this if taxes sro on as they are ? I don't believe it all goes to the treas " Officer "There, madam, pass on, pass on. Here's your bill. Go ahead." And the lady, muttering something about a want of polite ness, and "but people can't do better u lira days," was pushed out with the crowd. bo it continued all the morning; so it will continue all day. Considerable good humor amongst the choleric crowd was caused by a man who, having paid his bill, and finding other means of exit impossible, unless after patient waiting, leaped out of the window, and alighted "right side up."

RESOLUTION Of Request to the Congress of the United States to Repeal the Income Tax. Whereas, In the oplnon of a vat majority of ttie citizens of Philadelphia the income tax, as now asfessed and collected, is inqnU.torial, un equal, and oppressive. It Invites the cominls son of perjury; It offers a premium for dishon esty, and Is must offensive to Ametlcan sensl t'tlity and education In exposing to the public the private affair of Individuals; and Wbereas, The amount realized therefrom Is vBftly disproportionate to the expense of col lection: and Whereas, The Paid tax was' originally Imposed on the sole ground that it was neceary as a war measure, and as such submitted to and cheerfully paid by the people; and the reason of the imposition of the tax being abrogated, the collection of the tax should also cease; uow therefore Kesolved, By the Select and Common Counils of the City of Philadelphia, That the Con gress of the United States be respect' ully re queued to repeal tbe act providing for the at-Fessment and collection of a tax on In comes Resolved.
