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. That the Clerks of Councils be di
rected to trannntt to each of tho members of
Congress from Pennsylvania a copy of the fore
going preamble and resolution
