t►ad News for the -Irtiendi of France.
Capttobstion "of Parts.
Secretary Fish has received the follow
iu Mr. Morman, Charged'
Attars. at; London, dated London, June
.ary',29 4i. " The German Ambassador
here, has officially informed me that the
capitulatiOn of all the Paris forts, and an
• armititice of three weeks, by land and sea,
was signed about 8 o'clock last evening,
at Versailles, by Count Bismarck, and M.
Jules Fevre. The Army of Paris remain
prisoners of war in the city, but it is not
known whether they are to be disarmed
or not. No details have yet been received.
Count Bemstoff thinks it important that
this fact that the armistice extends on the
sea should be made known as widely as
peisible.
Or 'The Westlichs Post, Carl Schures
paper, opposes iu advance all attempts to
control elections by fed,eml authority or
Intermeddling. It thinks the people t f
, the states understand their own interests,
will attend to them. Federal inter
fe,.
rence in election simply provokes their
antagonism and indignation. Grant tried
it on in Missouri, and the result was an
ignquinions rout of his supporters. He
did the same thing in the late senatorial
election in Nebraska, and Thayer, other
wise irreproachable and popular, was de-'
feated by an almost unknown person. We
might supplement these statements by re
ferring to the election in the south. Will
the supporters of Senator Wilson's new
bill to deprive the several states of their
free elections, please make a note of these
facts before they enact a law the execu
tion 61 which would bury them beyond
the hope of a resurrection?
far" What can the Republican party
, do withont Grant ?" asks the New York
Standard. What have they done With
him is the more appropriate query? They
have debauched the legislation of the na
tion; reduced the Chief Magistracy of the
country to a mere money-making situa
tion ; polluted the treaty-making power,
and cursed the people with `laws of the
most scandalous and indefensible nature.
The country can do without Grant, if the
Radical party cannot, and that fact is
cropping out in all current political
events.
'Another steamboat accident on
the Mississippi river, the W. IL Anther
exploded her boilers near Memphis, early
on Saturday morning, and it is supposed
t tat sixty persons lost their lives by fire
and water. ' Five male wretches sei±ed
the life-boat, went on shore and turned it
adrift. Such libels on human nature de
serve an immotilality of infamy.
garAt the last session of Congress,
fifty thousand dollars were appropriated
for the purchase of a Soldiers' Horne at
Augusta, Blaine. The thing was manag
ed by one Benjamin F. Butler ; and Gen
eral Farnsworth, of Illinois, Radical, offers
to prove that it was purchased for twenty
five thousand. He does not propose to
show what became of the balance ; he
leaves that to Butler.
CV — The decision of Judge 31cCnnu,
of the Superior Court of New York, in
relation to excessive valuation on insured
property, is important. The Judge holds ,
that law and public policy both require
that inordinare valuation should be re-'
gardcd as presumptive fraud, and that a
person wilfully putting an extravagant
over-valnation on goods on which he may
recover, if not detected, to the great
wrong of the underwriters. has, in case of
loss, no claim whateveragainst theta for any
relief which a court of justice can recog
nize. The sound sense-of this decision is
so manifest, that there can be little donLt
that the principle laid down by Judge
McCann will be fully sustained. It cer
tainly ought to be.
TIRED OF NEGRO SUFFRAGE.—NegFO
suffrage was first established in the Dis
trict of Columbia. It was a great boast
at tholime. It is now patent that it is a
Marti there, from the fact that Congress
is now discussing a bill virtually to curtail
negro suffrage in that District. The plan
i a mean one, to say the least of it, inas
much as it accomplishes the object by a
tyrannical subterfuge. The bill sow un
der discussion creates a territorial govern
ment in the district, giving t're President
power to appoint the chief officers, instead
of electing them by negro votes, as at
p - went. To this the negro authorities
protest. " Revolutions never go hack-

main ie ml illy Leitig given away to a
horde of gigantic corporations, which in
turn become the means oral:cussing colos
sal fortunes by the men who manipulate
them. Who is to blame for this whole
sale robbery of the people ? Congress in
the first place. But, then, congressmen
generally come to be directors and large
stockholders in these concerns. As to
the President, time was when his -veto
stood as a wall of fire, between people
an d their plunderers. That, - however,
has become a vision of the past.
mf-Tbe Perry county Amara •says
that. Mr. Robert Racket, of Tyrone town
ship, in that county, has killed twenty;
two TM turkeys the present season. One
of the gobblers ',weighed twenty-four
,pounds.
Cost of Doubtful Luxuries.
The Philadelphia Inquirer in speaking
of rum and its votaries, very pertinently
says: "Certainly the people of -this
country pay liberally for very doubtful
luxuries; as, for instance, - there nre-ro
&teed annually throughout the United
States, 95,900,000 gallons of liquor, and
Iln the breweries 5,000,000 gallons of beer.
The correctness of these estimates may be
best ascertained by reference to our, pris
ons and almshouses, Which teem with the
votaries of rum. Of the 7242 inmates of
the Binghamton Inebriate Asylum, in
New York, there were 30 clergymen, 8
i jadges, 197 lawyers, 256 physicians, 340
merchants, 680 mechanics, 566 farmers,
240 gentlemen and 805 women, involving
every class in society. It, seems to us that
the still, being simply a machine for man
ufacturing paupers and criminals, should
be made in some way to support its -vic
tims, and not leave its own plain duty to
be discharged by the honest industries of
the country. Let the liquor and tabacco .
interests, as suggested by Judge Kelley,
bear the burden of internal taxation, and
thus relieve those other interests which
tend to increase the material prosperity of
the community."
The Cost of the Franking Privileges.
The postmaster general has communi
cated to the senate a statement m relation
to free matter passing through the mails.
It appears'that in December, 1869, each
postmaster was instructed to take an av
erage monthly account of all franked or
free matter deposited at their respectil e ,
offices for mailing for the period of six
months, commencing January Ist and
ending June 30, 1870. The total numb
er of offices from which reports were due
was 23,482, but the number from which
full or partial reports were received was
only 8,583, nearly 20,000 wholly failing
t • report. The returns of the 8,583 re
porting offices 'show that within the six
months there were transmitted 8,140,790
franked letters, the postage upon which,
at the established rates, amounted to
8655.548, and 2,047,971 pounds of other
franked mattfr.r, such as printed 'docu
ments and seeds, upon which the postage
at established rate amounted to 8160,848,
I making altogether, for six"months, for
i postage on free matter, the sum of 8.916,
396. At a fair estimate for the nearly twen
ty thousand non-reporting postoffices, the
, postmaster generrl says the following
! grand restlt is shown: Total number of
frankodletters for six months, 10,874,497;
1 postage, 893:3,070. Printed matter, &e.,
2.655,196 pounds; postage, 8338,593 85.
Total postage for six months, 81,271,773-
/ 8.5. Total for one year, 82,543,327 72.
The XVtli Amendment Unconstitu
tional.
The Supreme Court of the State of Cali
foruia has decided the XVth amendment
to be unconstitutional. The question
arose in a case entitled "The People vs.
Brady," the'exact import of which we are
not apprised of, but its consideration in
volved the validity of the XVth
:amend
ment, and the court held it to be inoper
ative and void, for the reason that it was
not within the scope of the powers cover
ing the amendments, and because it had
• not been adopted in the manner pre
scribed by the constitution. There can be
no doubt that this decision will be ulti
mately sustained by Supreme Court of the
United States. It being a fact perfectly
clear to every person familiar with the con
stitution, that in the incorporation of this
amendment to the organic law, the
requirements governing such cases, were
not observed, either in spirit or letter.
We apprehend the time is not far dis
tant, when such "wild cat" legislation as
those series of acts termed "war measures,"
will he subjected to such a careful exam
: illation as will result in upsetting the le
gality of every one of them.—Er.
F rank Blair hi the Senate.
Two years ago such an event as tht
election of Gen. FRANK P. MAID, Jr, to
the United States senate, was so improb- !
able, as not to be thought of. Such events
add force'to the aphorism that there is no
. telling what a day or an hour may - bring
forth. This - result, rendered probable only
a few months ago, is one to be re
' joiced at. It comes along with the change
of tide, rapidly setting in against the ad
ministration and the radical party, and is
part and parcel of the swift rnshing cur
rent, which is to sweep the radical party
out of power and existence. The stare of
Missouri under radical rule, practically
restricted sufframe to the members of its
own party, and Senator SLAM had no vote
in elections there. Now he goes to Wash
ington to vote for the whole state. This
is one of the marvellous thinzs resulting
I from radical despotism. Senator Main
has great ability as well as great energy.
and will take a leading part in senatonal
discussions and business. Ile is a cordial
hater of Gaut, and believes that he as
spires to be a dictator, and will make an
effort to-establish himself as such before
the end of his presidential term. lie will
be in Washington to watch the President's
movements, and give notes of warning to
the people of any contemplated revolution
or outrage. Viewing. the subject in all
its aspects, it must be admitted that the
election of Genres! BLAIR as a senator
from Missouri is a good thing for the wel
fare of the country and the security of the
people.

Inferior Stock.
One thing is certain, that Wive sell,or

sows, atuttlins cut of all hopes of any itu-.

continue to by poor and inferior. Dees a

and then is sold anti eaten, while her fel

Pharoah's lean kine, are kept for milk or

cannot be made fat for the butcher. Has

' fat about the time his half filled pork bar
rels are empty and she is stripped of her fair
proportions simply because she i 8 worth
the trouble of killing; and thus many of
our farmers perpetuate a breed of ani
mals that are a disgrace to the country.
They seem uneasy while they possess an
animal that will draw the attention of
their neighbors or the butchers, and woe to
' it if it puton a better appearance than its
1 fellows, for from that time it doom is seal
ed. To improve the breed of animals, it
is by no means necessary to incur a great
expense in bringing animals.from a dis
tance. If a farmer will mount his horse
and ride across the country some fine day,
and view the live stock of his neighbors,
he will soon perceive that there are abund
ant means of - bettering his circumstances
by a cross or exchange, at a slight oust,
and he by this plan is improving his
judgment by compr risen, and hoarding
up experience for a future day that will
be of more .value to him than the expense
_of many such excursions ; and improve
ments once begun and persisted in for a
short time, will produce such a corres
ponding improvement in the mind and
circumstances of the farmer as will ensure
its continuation and richly reward all his
labor and outlay.
Many fanners destroy the hope of im
proving their stock by a system of false
economy in the selection of the males
from which they breed their stock ; many
do not keep ri male from which to breed
their horses or horned stock, nor is it ne
cessary, as one will do for the neighbor
hood ; but this one should be the best 1
and in order to keep a good one, a good
price mast and should be charged for his
service. Many farmers lose thirty and
even fifty dollars in tho value of a fall
grown horse, steer, ox or cow, by a system
of false economy—by not being willing
to pay two or three dollars more for the
service of a male. I have repeatedly driv
en my cows three miles to a good male, at
a cost of four or five dollars, when I could
have found a male on my neighbor's farm
at a cost of twenty-five cent.s.—[S.P. Shit

A Big Haul of Mk.
The water in Camps Pond in Berri& town
ship, says the Bradford Argus, covering over one
hundred acres of ground, became so low this
season of unusual drouth, that during the hard
freezing weather of this winter it froze neat ly to
the bottom, and immense quantities of trout,
eels, catfish, nevi' and pickerel congregated in
the deepest holes, and some of them died and
seemed to be dying for want of a needful supply
of fresh atmospheric air. Rohs were cut
through the ice and the fish led by instinct pro
miscously rushed to the opening, to inhale the
free air where they were scooped up to the num
ber of several wagon loads, among them were
eels of unusual size. The pike or pickerel not
being able to endure the want of upper air, as
long as the other fish, were mostly dead.
