LETTER FROM •!Pmt.'s. (Correspondence of the Phila. Eton'g Bulletin.) - rA11.18; #riday, March 4, 11310.-As is often the case just after the opening of the Lenten season in France, we have:: fallen for the, last few days into • a sort of social and political torpor: There is literally nothing stirring, and the natural consequence of the preceding ani mation is a sort of exhaustive relapse into inac tivity. The.debates in the Charober, after re sulting lathe complete and final split between the 3ldinisters and the imperialist remnant of the old rnp t iority,of which I recently spoke,have had a fey/ days' respite, to give parties tithe to breathe, as it were, and recognize the novelty of their new position. Society itself, too, was so worn out with the rapid succession of entertainments, especially those of an official character, which were crowded into the last week before Ash Wednesday, that there, too, some cessation 'was demanded, and even the jaded, votaries of pleasure themselves were compelled to cry "Bold enough." Half the business of official life here consists, at this sea son of the year, in giving, fetes, which are regularly provided and paid for, over and above the salary attached to the office, by what are called frais de reprisentation, or expenses incurred in the exercise of public hospitality. From the Emperor down to the humblest sub prefect In a remote district in the Maritime Alps, the Jura, or the Pyrenees, this duty of "'representation " is incumbent upon all, and is supposed to be " allowed for" out of the nit, tional treasury. The Freneh Emperor can certainly afford to be hospitable, if any one can, with a civil list of 130,000,000,and all his palaces kept in repair at the national expense besides. Poor Louis Philippe was often:accused of being "economical" in his ices and chp.mpag,ne. But the ball-suppers dispensed by Napoleon. 111. to his three, four, or even five thousand guests, are profuse and even extravagant in their abundance. The last of these entertainments took place about a week ago. The crowd and crushinto the supper-room, after their Majes ties had retired, was terrific; and the consumption of viands and liquors something awful. There are people who seem to go there only to feed—and to drink; and dancing becomes altogether a • • • •1: • • I " • • Ia " if_tbe I evening, or can hardly take place at all before the "small hours " have thinned the over gorged salons. The Prince Imperial, too, is now beginning to " receive" in his own apart ments. Two evenings ago he and a party of his young friends got up a play, for which in vitations, on large cards, in the Prince's own name, were issued to his particular favoritei3, among whom were not a few of the Americans who had been his re cent companions and instructors on the ice. One well-known American member of the Stating Club had the honor of being thanked very handsomely by the Emperor for the profi ciency his son had made under his guidance as a skater. Who has taught his little Highness to act as well as skate, I am unable to say. Bat those who were present the other evening assert that he delivered himself, as Hamlet says, with "right action and good emphasis," and greatly pleased his Imperial parents, who applauded loudly as they looked fondly on. The Prince is a nice-looking boy, ' and, now that a new and better chance is opening before him, may make a good enough " connstitutional sovereign" as times go. And there 'can be no doubt (to turn from such gossip as the above to more serious mat ters) that a constitutional regime is now once more fairly on its trial in this country. The "old parties," as they are called, the "men of the July monarchy," 'who have so long stood aloof, are now rallying to the new order of things, and giving in their adhesion in all directions. Yon might see them at Count Darn's ball the other evening, in every saloon of the splendid Hotel des Affaires Etrangeres. There they were—De Remusat, Casimier Perrier (the son of the celebrated minister) ; Odilon Barrot, Duvergier de Hauranne (the man of the "banquets" of February 1848) ; all the old names, once more coming out of their retirement, bepuse, as Count Daru said in his late speech, " free in stitutions have been restored to the country," and because " France is no longer under a despotism." M. Odilou Barrot sits at the head of the recently appointed "Decentraliza tion Commission ; " and M. Guizot himself presides at the Commission on University Education. Ghosts of De Moruy and Senator Troplong ! How can you lie quiet in your graves and ~see these sworn ene mies of Imperialism nice more occupying the chief seats and high places of the State! It is impossible any longer to doubt how great and, ao far, pacific a revolution has once more passed over the public policy of this country. What used to be called the tran,Vormation des youroirs has now been completely effected, and that without a blow having been struck. The mode in which the change has been oper ated is so different from what has ever before 'taken place in France, that one is half tempted to hope that the result may be as different also, and that at last the long-wished-for solu tion of " order and liberty" has been attained. I think it probable that the permanent ap pointment of M. Prevost-Paradol to the post of French Minister at Washington may be de layed some time longer. He has just accepted a nomination upon the Education Commission, where his presence and assistance will be highly valuable, and which may necessitate his presence here for some time to come. The proposed action of the Roman Council is beginning to engage the serious attention of the new Ministers. The doctrine of the Im maculate Conception. was a theoretical and imaginative doctrine, devoid of any practical influence on mundane affairs. But the doc trines of the Syllabus and Papal Infallibility, especially the former, attempt to lay the axe to the very root of civil society as established in France. They literally " anathematize " al most all existing French institutions, and the government is compelled to ask itself the ques tion whether it shall continue to uphold, by the national forces, a system which thus openly attacks the national constitution. —The first line of a hymn given ont at a prayer-meeting so excited the curiosity of a little girl that on returning home she asked for an explanation ; the : line as she heard it was : "'Mike Rimea a bird and long has been." A. patient ingenuity , ;Ind an old hymn-book solved the mystery. The original of the above translation was: "My crimes a burden long baai bee❑." THE DAILY EVENING I3ULLETIN - PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, .1870.',, 01 WVIAILANVTON IMICIPEEL, • Fenn and 'General Itelns. • -.- Iforreettondento of the PhilewEvelitn'g WILMINGTON, March 16.—Tbere were 47 ,deaths in this city, during the', month of .Feb ruary—an unusually large number-40 'being the average. Of the 47, 23 were children and 24 adults, and.of the latter 6 were between 60 and 70, 3 between 70 and 80, 4 between 80 and 00, and 3 between 00 and 100. The month seems to have been an unusually fatal one for old people. The vestry of Trinity P. E. Church have called Rev. Dr. Frost, of New Jersey, with what result is not yet known. The church sympathizes with the "High Church" party, but bAs never indulged in any'eccentricities in the matter of ritual. 'Bishop Lee, of this diocese, belongs to the extreme "Low Church" party, and would doubtless interpose his au thority to arrest any tendency towards extreme "ritualism." An English woman and a colored barlittr were married sometime ago in Philadelphia, and are now living together in the First Ward Of this city. Some of the DemocriCy are quite excited over the matter, but it dogs not appear that there is any way in which they can interfere with the gratification of this somewhat singular conjugal wish. k Another colored man married a white girl in that. Ward some years ago, and they were driven out of town, not by any out rage, but by threats and petty, persecutions. The singular feature of the case is that it is a Democratic stronghold, and that in the first case the girl belonged to cone of the most bitterly Democratic families of the neighbor hood. The Democracy of one of the lower Hun dreds held a grand pow-wow a few days ago, and adopted a long series of resolutions, de nouncing Radical measures in general and the Fifteenth Amendment in particular, and re solving, come weal, come woe, to stand by their record as a white man's party. The Democrats of this city hold a meeting this evening, at which it is probable similar action will be taken. - ' Francis D. Dunlap r a prominent Democrat, and the President of the Delaware and Penn sylvania Railroad (a proposed road from Dela ware City to Pomeroy, on the Pennsylvania Railroad), died of pneumonia, at his residence in Delaware City, yesterday. THE PLAINS. Intestine Inflian Wairs--•Terrible Conflict on the Yellowstone. • PLAINS, March B.—Every few months we hear of one of those terrible tr :edies of blood among the Indians which makes one's hair . - stand on end ' to read about. Last spring twenty-nine Snake Indian went over the Big HOrn Mountains to steal stock from the Sioux, The stock was ,stolen, and the triumphant Snakes were returning with a large herd of In dian ponies, when the Sioux Overtook and sur rounded them. There were three hundred Sioux and only twenty-nine Snakes, and the fight llasted all day. Only two Snakes—and they 'riddled with bullets—escaped and returned to tell the bloody tale. In the dead of the winter a party of Sioux attempted. to go through and join Spotted Tall on the reservation near, Fort Randall. The snow fell to a great depth, and the column was compelled to halt. Provisions ran short, and they pushed on toiling through the snow for several days, until the passes presented msuper able barriers to a farther advance. Then they halted, turned their faces eastward, and at tempted to return home. Women, children and even men froze to death, and were .buried in the snow. The mules, ponies and oxen were killed and eaten, and only enough clothing car ried to keep them from freezing. The warriors were nearly all dismounted, and weak from hunger, when their inveterate enemy, the Crow Chief, heard of their pitiful condition. His' savage heart rejoiced, and hastily assembling his warriors, he set out with a strong, well mounted and well-armed band. In four days he reached the miserable Sioux, and attacked them. Without horses, and but poorly armed, they could not hope to escape from their ene mies. Silently they gathered on the hill-top, and slaughtering the women and children with their own hands, the warriors sang their.death song and began the battle. Long waged the cOullict, but at last the battle ended, and the five remaining Sioux were captured and car !ried home to be put to death by torture. We now have the particulars of one of the most horrible Indian tragedies that was ever enacted on the plains. This time it is the 'Sioux who are victorious over the Crows. it appears that some time in January a war and stealing party of twenty-eight Crows started over the mountains to prey upon the Sioux. They all went on foot, expecting to steal upon one of the camps,run off some ponies, and then when mounted retreat into the mountains, where, among the narrow defiles, they could hold the enemy in check and make good their escape. They had got well into , the Sioux country, and were nearing a village;when sud denly they came upon two young warriors who were out hunting. The Crows saw they were ,discovered and made every effort to head off the two. Sioux. One they killed, but the other, though wounded, escaped to the village and gave the alarm. The Crows knew there was no hope but to fight it out and sell their lives as dearly as possible.- Selecting a high and - rocky bill they proceeded to fortify - it on top with a rude stone fort. Not long had they to work, for the Sioux were soon seen approach ing in battle array. Three hundred dismounted and attacked the bill on foot. The Crows re ceived their assailants with loud cries of de fiance, and drove them back. A parley ensued, and the Crows called to the Sioux saying," We come here to be killed; come on now and kill us." Six times the hill was charged, and each time the Sioux were repulsed. It .was now drawing near nightfall, and the Sioux well knew that if darkness once covered the earth, despite of every precaution, the wily Crows would withdraw, and many of them make good their escape. The case was desperate, and the Crows on the hills mocked and jeered, while their enraged enemies heard in silence. A council was hastily called, and a young Sioux chief made a fiery speech. He said it was a shame that so many Sioux could not whip a handful of Crows., blushed for the bravery of his people, and hen in a burst of enthusiasm raised his voice and cried out, "I will lead you; come on who dares to follow the Spotted Eagle." Over one hundred war riors immediately volunteered to act as a storm ing party. Several decoys and feints were thrown out, and every effort made to conceal the real point of attack. Meanwhile Spotted Eagle with his band crept under cover as near as possible to the fort, and ,awaited for the signal to attack., At last it was given and the column dashed up the hill. The Crows swept the column with their rifles, but still it came on. The stone breastworks were reached and the fight raged band to hand. In attempt ing to get into the fort Spotted Eagle was shot dead. When starting up the bill he said, "1 shall be killed, but you warriors must go Into the fort and avenge my. death on the Crow dogs." Ills prediction was speedily, verified, and twelve others fell with him._ The Crows fought on until totally overpowered. Every Crow was killed. Besides the twelve who fell in the attack, five have since died of their wounds, and perhaps as many as eight or ten more will die. ..it is probable as many Sioux were killed or modally wounded as there were Crows. The Sioux engaged in this battle were nearly all Uncapapas and the Crows belonged to Iron Bull's baud.

"Frivolous," "trashy," " worthless, " are some of the con temptuous adjectives most frequently met with in that connection. These censures most Prnallate fr •in men who have no real DALE. means of judging of the mass of modern books that they condemn, who are unduly addicted to old authors and old books--in fact are bigots in respect of the undue reverence that they pay to what they call classical and standard works. There are literary critics in England and in this country, and wherever the species is found, who look upon a new book as an impertinence,. an affront, a stranger not to be'courteously re ceived until it has . demonstrated itself worthy of their fastidious approval: This is not, we think, the spirit in which new books should be considered. While many of them are undoubtedly poor in matter and style, and mischievous in their effects 'upon. readers, as a whole they should be welcomed. Their appear ance in great numbers should be hailed as a positive and most gratifying proof of that in tellectual fecundity and progress which are among the best hopes of a. nation. Spain, Italy, and other European countries of the second or inferior grades produce but few new books; while the presses of England, as well as those of France and Germany, teem with fresh works in every department of literature. We take it that the • swarm of English books in 1869 should be accepteff as an evidence of the profound moral, religious, politi cal and artistic movements, which are clearly manifested in, other way 4 in the social and political and religious changes working pot in the British Empire. They spring from the same sources as the Reform Suffrage bill, the Irish Church bill, and the other great mewfres of improvement now engaging the attention of the English people, and many of them have doubtless contributed powerfully to hasten the triumph of those reforms. An analysis of the classes of books indicates a better taste than prevailed in former years. Theology takes the lead, as it should, Making nearly one-fourth of the whole list. Next comes juvenile works— and it would be safe to say that these, with but few exceptions, are not devoid of instruc tion and interest, and are always on the side of sound morals. An immoral book for boys and girls is something that wo have never seen, and we doubt whether such a monstrosity exists. The worst fault of juvenile works is that they are apt to_ he. loose and inaccurate in statements of facts,and are not always written in good English. But, still, they convey a great deal of useful information, and do much more good than harm. Novels are decidedly in the decline, and it is predicted by shrewd observers of the changing English tastes that the orthodox three-volume form of fiction will before long pass away—such pro ductions finding their only market at last in the magazines -and family papers. Education, philosophy and classical literature, political and social economy, trade and commerce, arts and sciences, rtravel and geographical research, his. and biography, comprise (in addition to theology) the bulk of the long list—surely a healthful sign. England mav well feel proud of her literary exhibit for the year. Vegetable Physiology. M. P. Bert has addressed a paper to the Academy of Sciences on the influence of light on the sensitive plant (Mimosa inga). The experimental method adopted by him con sisted in placing the plants under shades of colored glass. One was black, another white, the remainder blue, green yellow and red. On the 12th of October, 1869, he put a certain number of these plants under these shades; the former had all been reared from the same seed, and at the same time, and were as nearly as possible of the same height and vigor. The experiment was efiected in the hot-house of the Academy of Medicine. A few hours after the commencement of the trials these semi tires already presented different appearances. Those under the green, yellow and red shades had their foot-stalks and folioles erect; those under the blue and violet ones, on the con trary, had their foot-stalks nearly horizentaband their folioles spread out. (The Mimosm have their leaves similar to those of the acacia, that is; pinnate, but a great deal smaller). On the 19th, the plants under the black shade bad lost nearly all their sensitiveness; on the 24th they were either dying or dead. At the latter date, those under the green shades were quite insensible—they died on the 28th. Mean while the sensitives under the other shades ere perfectly alive and impressionable, but, there was a great difference of growth among them. These under the white glass had grown considerably ; those under the red much less, and those under the yellow were somewhat less developed still; as for the violet and blue they had remained stationary. On the 28th the vigorous plants of the white shade were ansferrcd to the green ono. On the sth of November they had very - little sensitiveness left; on the Oth, they had scarcely any, and on the 14th they were dead. Those .under the violet, blue, yelloW and red shades appeared to be thriving beautifully.—Galirmanes Memenger.

Amessage was received from Governor Randolph recommending the passage of the bill taxing the gross receipts of all incorporated Companies. A motion to pass the bill to a third readlng,:however, was lost. A bill was passed increasing the salaries of the Supreme Judges. In the House, articles of 'impeachment were presented against Judge White, of Hoboken, for alleged receipt of exorbitant fees in a case over which be had no jurisdiction. Bills were passed enabling captains of New Jersey vessels to act as their own pilots when sailing in or out of Sandy Hook, and extending the ripa rian law to all submerged lands in the State. The New rwiliding Scheme. Senator Scott, of Pennsylvania imported into the recent debate in the Semite . on the Funding bill something extremely rare and much wanted in that body, namely, genuine Snancial ability and a thorough knowledge •of his subject. It is refreshing to listen to a man who brings to the discussion Of :,the topic he treats, knowledge and information which spring fronran, intimate acquaintance with it, both practical and theoretical. It is comfort ing to know also that we still have material iu the country of which .to make fiest.class finance ministers; if we but kneW where to look for it. The bill, as it finally PaSSed, has good points. Some of the worst ones, such as making the coupons payable in foreign countries, were en tirely" eiptinged. Another :very objectionable feature, namely, the allowing the Secretary to employ,br,oers to negotiate the, loan, nd ap propriating 'the preposterOus sum of twelve millions to gorge their pockets, was reduced one-half. 'Yet the sum , left is so much money Iflung to the.broliers for nothing except so much .as it costs to print the new bonds. Mr. Bout well, under the usual' inspirations attending the passage of all such measures; seemed afraid to break Away from the. custom of the Department 'forced upon it' by the exigencies of the wet.. A bolder -and more experienced man would have throWn all "the'brokers over board, and rnado - the Treasury do • its• .own proper., vrork.' A good feature of the measure is the privi lege it offers to hold(irs of greenbacks' to fund them in a four per cent. bond. Not that much will come of 'it practically ; but it at least offers -a decent show to the world of some kind of re demption of the now wholly orphaned state of that part of the public debt. The bill also offers to everybody the privilege of banking 'on the new four per cents proposed by it; at the same time stipulating that all the currency issued to Lew banks must be followed by the immediate withdrawal of- just , so• , muCh. in , amount of greenbacks. This feature ' was energetically opposed by Senator ;Morton, who is the high priest of non-contraction, and will meet with wstrenuous hoStility in the house. , To show ho* near sensible men will come to doing foolish things, a vote, while the bill was in progress, was taken on the propesition to, withdraw the' whole of the fractional cure rency on the first of July next, and came with• in half a dogen votes of being carried. Let-the reader imagine, if he Pali, what would be the effect of withdrawing' the whole of our frac tional currency, with an unabridged, paper culation, and coin averaging, onp year with another, thirty odd per cent. premium. -The measure has now to run the gauntlet of the House, but with some modifications it will pro bably succeed in going through. . The bill does not bear in any way upon the question of resumption or Inflation. Its leading feature is to offer a W-40 5 per cent.. bond. principal and interest payable in gold,.for the 5-20 II per cents., interest payable In gold, and 'the principal threatened with greenbacks. The provisions °tiering 4 per cent. and 4 per cent. will probably be wholly Imperative, except se far as bonds of this quality can be forced upon the banks. But the banking interest is very powerful in Congress, as has been illustrated In numerous and often surprising votes, and may yet alter the whole complexion of this part of the Y. Sun. . Forty-first Conevesx..-Second Session. The ;United Slates Senate, after the close of , our report yesterday, continued the eonsideraf tion of the Georgia bill. Mr. Drake offered ad amemlinerit providing for the sending of troops by the President to auy of the lately rebel States, and the declaring of martial law therein, upon the representation by the Gpvr emir or Legislature that organizations exist there for the perpetration of violence against persons or property. Without action the .Senate . adjourned. The House of Representatives referred. the Funding bill to the Committee on Ways and Means. Mr. Butler, from the Reconstruction - Committee, reported a bill for the admission of Texas, similar to the Virginia' and Mississippi bills, which was passed. The Deficieriey bill was considered in Committee 'of the Whole until a late hour, and was then reported for ac tion. Adjourned. Pennsylvania Legislature. In the House of Representatives, House bill authorizing the Fifth and Sixth Streets and Second and Third Streets Passenger Railway Companies to salt their tracks north of Berke and went over. The House bill altering the di visions of tbe 'Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth Wards was considered. The House refused to Jay the bill aside for a second read ing by 30 ayes to 50 noes. House bill, inflicting a fine for failure to register property,was passed'. House bill, incorporating the Citizens' Bank. finally passed. House bill, vesting the power of Receiver of. Taxes in. City Councils, .was• amended , by Mr. • Elliot so, as not to apply to delinquent taxes, House bill, incorporating the North Penn Pas senger Railway Company was considered. The corporators are : William M. Taylor, Geo. W. Painter, Wm. Wallace, Henry C. Titos, F. B. Gatchell, Robert Loughlin. George Dolan, James Flaherty, Wm: F. McCully, Wm. IL H. Wright and Charles 31. Hurley. The route is along Colombia avenue east of Thirty-third street to Howard, to Lehigh, avenue, and along Lehigh avenue to Thirty-third street. Mr. Elliott: offered an amendment, that in paving or repaving, hereafter done by Passen ger Railway Companies in Philadelphia, it shall not be lawful to repave any street with cobblestones. The House refused to suspend the rules to pass the bill to the second reading. The House bill incorporating the Frankford and llolmesburg Railroad--passed. Reported Murder of a Woman by Her In sane bon—A Horrible Story. [ From the Sallebury (N. C.) Examiner. of 3f.ar0h9.1 A young man by the name of Rufus J. Rimer was committed to our County Jail on. Monday for killing his mother, Sarah Rimer. in this tummy, on Saturday, sth instant. ilufus J. Rimer, the murderer, is about twenty-two years of age, and has always been considered by his neighbors :as being partially deranged. At any rate, his actions at times .were quite singular. He is also subject to epileptic fits. On Saturday morning he was at preaching, and was noticed to be unusually irritable. After preaching be went to a itighbor's house, still manifesting much excitement, and his neigh hots seeing something unusual about him, pre- vaned upon him to go home. He went off, but did not stay long, when, he returned, and was again urged to go Lynne. He went off to another neighbors, borrowed an axe,with which he cut oil one of his fingers, ; and returned home. It seems that lie and his mother, aged about fifty-two years, were living alone in the southern portion of Rowan. lie says his mother, while wrapping his finger, hurt hint, which induced him to kill her. . - He first gathered a hearth-stone, which he threw at her as she escaped out of the door. The stone struck the door, when he again seized it and pursued her into the yard and beat- het brains out witluit: ; After he had 'completed the bloody work, he built upa fire in the house, took up his mother, laid her on it, locked the doors and retired to bed. Sunday morning he went to a neighbor's house and told them he had burnt her. His neighbors not being able to get any satisfaction out of him, proposed to go hoine with him and see. On arriving at. the house, they found the old woman, or what remained of her,' lying in the fireplace almost entirely burned up. R. J. Rimer was at once arrested and committed as above stated.
