Paris FAN Fashions.

A Paris letter to the New York
World contains the following infor-
nation which will be acceptable to
the fair sex:
As this gay city leads the world in
the seraphic simplicity and adorable
elegance of its fashions, it may inter-
est you to know that many costumes
are made of fine white poplin with
gay colored satin stripes, the skirt has
a deep hounce, bordered with velvet
Of the same color as the stripes; above
it comes rows of hollow plaits, like
wise -berdered. Robes of chalis are
worn with many pulled skirts, separ-
ated by several rows of yellow vel
vet in fancy colors, while a wide wat
teau velvet sash to match goes round
the waist. In fact everything is trim
med with velvet, and satin is Danish
ed for the time. Scotch plaid suits
are much liked, with broad sash
with bows coleoptre. The prettiest
morning dresses are made with an
open front, decorated with small
hounces and valenciennes lace.

The Israelites of San Francisco
have organized an emigration society
for the purpose of assisting persons
of their faith in Europe to come to
this country. This is well, for the
Hebrews prosper in this country, and
make good, peaceful and enterprising
citizens. In some parts of Europe,
particularly in Roumania, recent leg
islation has revived the experience of
the captivity in Babylon and the
bondage in Egypt. The rich Israel
ties OF California propose to bring
their oppressed brethren to this new
land of promise. and the idea does
credit to their sagacity and humanity.

A GLIMPSE of the inside operation
of the gold conspiracy last week is
obtained from the following dispatch
to the Boston Traveller, whose cor
respondent is understood to be inside
of the Fisk ring" THE ring is all
safe and will reap big harvest. The
most important result of Fridays
work is the transfer of stock in GER
tain leading railroads, which had as
much to do with gold operations as
gold itself. Large amounts of shares
were absorbed by parties who moved
the speculation for the purpose of
getting control"

THE TERRIBLE PRZM.

The wrath of the Spaniards over Minister
Sickles proposition, on behalf of the United
States, to mediate on the Cuban question, is
almost as terrific and quite as comical as was
that of the English over Mr. Summers speech
on the Alabama claims. In both cases the
abatement of the excitement, on finding that
there was no immediate danger, has been
construed into backing down on the part
of the United States. Thousands of English
men believe sincerely that the 'blarsted"
Yankees quailed before the power of British
indignation, and the Spaniards appear to be
as profoundly impressed with the idea that
we are now in state of fear and trembling,
lest they should carry out their threats to
blockade our ports, sweep our commerce from
the seas, and carry desolation to our hearths
and homes with the mighty armie that will
be landed on our shores.
The cable dispatches, if not always reliable
in the way of information, generally reflect
pretty correctly the state of public opinion in
matters of this kind. We are consequently
not surprised to read such a despatch as that
published this morning, informing us that
s'since the return of General Prim to Madrid
the language of the American Minister has
beenmore conciliatory." We all know that Prim
is a terrible fellow, and it is easy to imagine
how Sickles must have trembled when he
heard that he had returned, and it was the
most natural thing in the world for him to
make his language more conciliatory under
the circumstances. So far as we can under
stand from the very unsatisfactory dispatches
that have been published on the subject,

rule will be abolished, and that all thei

THE BATTLE or THE BULLS AND
RKARS o..

Ten days ago the New York Tribune printed
a short double-leaded editorial, commencing
thus:--
1--WE are credibly informed that certain nnanciers
or our city, In combination with European capital
lists, have cOnspired TO buy and withdraw from
use thirty millions OF gold, with intent to compel
those who must pay gold at the Custom House or
elsewhere to buylof them at exorbitant rates"
Yesterday the grand scheme thus fore
shadowed eliminated in a terrific struggle
between the bulls and bears, during which
gold was rushed up to 1852, and from that
giddy height hammered down to 1873. The
excitement was bewildering, and Broad street,
the centre of the brokers quarter in New
York, became veritable bedlam. From
sheer anxiety men were driven to the verge
OF madness, their actions being described as
absolutely indescribable. The struggle ragged
fercely from 10 o'clock in the morning until
quite late in the afternoon, the premium on
the precious metal rushing back and forth
between the two extremes like shuttle-cock
At last the Secretary of the Treasury pro-
mulgated an order to sell, and with another
terrific struggle all along the line the bulls
were routed, and the day closed with the pre-
MUM at the lowest point touched, II per
S0h'' pOiO" LOU, oho opohinS punt
During the day the transactions were so
enormous that when the smoke lifted from
the field of battle the confusion was still as
indescribable as during the heat of the con-
flict. The street was rife with rumors of
failures and suspensions, and no man seemed
to know whether he was on the brink of ruin
or not. At 10 o'clock this morning a still
further decline to 12S was reported in New
York, but, in consequence of the general
jumble and medley, and the impossibility to
settle up the accounts of yesterdays trans
actions, the Gold Board remained closed
and uncertainty reigned supreme. In the
course of the day, however, it is probable
that the market will seek level, and the
grand gambling scheme will then go on as
before the struggle of yesterday, without
regard to the wrecks that have resulted from
it. The whole scandalous transaction teaches
an imperative lesson to the country. The
surest, safest, and speediest policy for bring
ing about resumption of specie payments
should command the support of all honest
and patriotic men.

United States, and, as we we'll know, any dis
position the Government might have to nego-
tiate for the abandonment of Cuba has been
impeded by the opposition of the Spanish
people, to whom the retention of the island is
matter of national pride; and any efforts on
our part to procure a satisfactory settlement
of Cuban affairs will of course excite the
wrath of the whole race of Bobadils. But
since Prim has returned and Siclles grown
more conciliatory, we have good hopes that
affairs may be fixed up without bloodshed.

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN is still in the field
for the Presidential race of 1872. But he
persists that he and his associates will run in
dependently, and especially that they will not
accept the Democratic nomination, "Would
any sane man, asks Train, "trust the Demo-
Gratis after 1860, ga, and GS, to drive ten
jackasses abreast?" From all of which we
are to infer that Train expects to have nine
colleagues upon his independent ticket.

CRETE AND CEBA.

Congressional, Legislative and
popular resolutions are being
adopted expressing sympathy fol-
the Cretans and Cubans. If we
understand the question these
peoples are engaged in revolt
They are rebelling against estab.
lished authority. They are de-
claring and endeavoring to main
tain their independence. In other
words, they are seeding from
certain unions-Spanish, Turkish
and so forth What business have
we as a nation, in sympathizing
with any such movements Have
we not, through blood and fire
and trouble, just told the world
that such proceedings are the sum
of alIviliainy If people suffering
from having engaged in this bust
ness are objects of sympathy, we
have them nearer at home

THE FRANCHISE IN TENNESSEE.

Public attention is directed to the
proceedings in the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday, in regard to
the Franchise question. The mea-
sure Of Speaker Richards, and the
Just and liberal views set forth in
his speech in its advocacy, indicate
that a movement is in progress
which, though temporarily checked,
will continue to gain strength.
We yet have hope that the Legis-
lature of Tennessee will enamel
pate itself from the shackles OF
prejudice and distrust, and respond
to the popular sentiment, in the
adoption of some measure intended
to dispense with the political disa.
bilities now imposed upon the PEG
pie.
The members who have the
moral courage to look forward and
lead in this great act of justice are
entitled to high credit, and it would
afford us sincere pleasure to accord
this praise to every member.

it appears, was pledged for the pay

HOW THE CREDIT OF EHE STATE
Is INJURED.

A fact was developed in the Senate
Yesterday which reflects but little
credit upon the Brownlow admins
tration. 1t appears, according to a
memorial Of Messrs. Perkins, Liv-
ingston d Post. Of Cincinnati, that
Gen. w p lines, who was pet OF
Governor Brownlow, and was ap-
pointed by him Receiver Of the
Nashville and Northwestern Rail
road, had in his capacity Of Re
ceiver, purchased of them large
quantity Of railroad supplies, con
sisting of car aXles, steel, iron and
other articles absolutely necessary
20 equip and operate that road, and
that there Is remaining unpaid upon
these purchases Il balance ofS2 ,2G4
They also state that they furnished
to the Receivers appointed by the
Governor for the Memphis, Clarks-
Vile and Louisville Railroad, SINH
lar supplies, and that there is a
balance still due and unpaid
on these purchases amounting to
S3,Gl3. These amounts, in the az
gregate s., 81, they state they have
been unable to collect. These par
ties state i'm their memorial that the
supplies were furnished at the SO
licitation Of the Receivers, and upon
promises Of prompt payment IN
cash, and although the State has
long had the benefit of this valua
BILE property" the promises of
prompt payment are still ume-
deemed and the mcmOrialists have
thereby been subjected TO pccu-
MARY embarrassment and loss
that they are not able to
bear" They are therefore, after
many efforts to obtain relief else
where, compelled to appeal to the
Legislature to make some 'provIs-
ion for the payment Of this indebted
ness. for which the good faith Of the
