Accounts from King Williams headquar-
ters affirm that he will rot venture into
Paris when the capitulation takes place. 1t
is understood that there are many desperate
men il the French capital who imagine they
would win imperishable fame by numbering
the great enemy Of their country; and with
that true religious feeling which shines go
brightly through his dispatches whenever
he has an important victory to announce,
his Prussian Majesty has determined not to
put the temptation to SO heinous crime in
the way of those misguided men, end will
thus spare them the remorse which would in
evitably follow it's commission.

was in that state her agent absconded with
the money received ut the door Miss Lottie
had recourse to the chief Of police, and asked
his aid in recovering the money from her
swindbng ticket seller. awe shall be very
glad to arrest and convict him, and we will
do SO Immediately upon one simple con-
dition, replied the agent Of the law. "Wha.

the rascal is at the present moment" was
the bland reply. The prophecies was non

Tie colored member of the National
House Of Representatives. from South Caro-
lima, IS thus described: A light mulatto,
with long, dark, straight, glossy hair, bushy
side whiskers, and decidedly Caucasian
features, he looks more Ike "a Cuban than d
negro. III this respect he IS quite unlike
the negro Senator from Mississippi, Revels,
who has the African features as well as the
woolly hair. He was born IN Georgetown,
District Of Columbia, where his father and
mother were both slaves, and is about
thirty-nine years OF age.

Interesting Legal Case.

a case OF considerable public interest and
OF much Importance to the legal profession
was heard at Tuli length in the Supreme
Court at Washington, Saturday, and the de
cision will be forthcoming this week. The
matters involved are as follows: In an
original case in the Supreme Court, entitled
Texas vs.. White ct al, Mr. Durant, for the
State OF Texas, procured a rule upon Judge
Paschal to show cause why he should not
pay into court, for the State aforesaid, the
sum of Si7. 900, moneys received by him as
counsel for the State in the above entitled
cause. In answer, Paschal set forth that,
in 1865, he was retained by Governor Ham
ilton, then Governor of the State Of Texas.
TO pursue and recover S500,0G0 worth of
United States Indemnity bonds, received by
Texas from the United States for her public
lands when annexed.
When the war broke ont, these bonds
were carried from the State by the rebels.
Three hundred thousand dollars worth
found their way to England, and We're there
negotiated, while he balance were uttered
in the United States by White and others,
from September, 1860, until February. 1870.
When dismissed from the case bv the Gov
ernor, Judge Paschal devoted large share
OF his time, paving all his personal expenses,
to the prosecution of various suits which he
was Obliged to commence 20 recover the
bonds. In the cause above spoken OF ne was
successful, and realized theroirOm the
S47, 900 mentioned in rule, and for which ne
was asked to account. But Of this sum be
had expended over $4,000 for counsel and
other incidental costs, and had conducted
other causes to a point at which
arrangements had been entered into
between himself and the holders OF
other bonds. whereby the State OF
Texas would realize them all. when he was
dismissed and pegoiati rs were broken Oft.
Paschal had a special agreement with Gov
ernor Hamilton for contingent fee o.
twenty-five and half per cent Of the total
amount realized, and yet here he WIS Or
dered to turn over the whole moneys col
lected, without reference to his disburse-
ments or his claims for fees. He set up that
he had a lien upon the money aud papers
for his charges and fees; also. that Texas
was indebted to him in the sum of ST. 800
for reporting and publishing the State law
reports, and siCO0 attorneys fees in the
former case, which the State refused to pay.
The case will enable the Supreme Co urt
to settle the question under what circun-
stances it will interfere between lawyer and
client. and what rights the former has, and
how they are to be restricted, and the all
important matter, whether an attorney has
a lien after discharge on the papers in his
custody, and the legality of contingent fees.
In the case of Texas VS.. George Peabody
q Co.. i'll the same court, to cover bonds
carried to Maryland, there is also a rule on
Paschal to show cause why his name should
not be struck of as counsel for plaintiff.
This case involves the same principles as
above

LOK1es
The third and last week Of Miss Maggie
Mitchell's present engagement at the St.
Charles Theatre has been thus far absorbed
in the production of another OF those beau
tiful plays written expressly for that lady.
''Lorle" il five act play, adapted from
the German by Mr.. J. II. Rosewald, and as
dramatic composition possesses considera-
BILE merit. 1t is not, however, without
fault that seriously mars the successful con-
clusion of the play upon the stage. 1t is a
great pity the author did not give it a diff
ferent ending-a termination that would
have produced happy effect upon an audi
ence, and restored Lorle, the character that
Miss Mitchell plays with such charming
simplicity throughout, to better fate than
death under the circumstances that she is
doomed to meet it.
The first, second, third and fourth acts
are good. and do not fail to please and
deeply interest an audience, bu: the fifth
act closes tragically with Lorle, whom they
have learned to love and admire. 1t is the
beautiful rendition of the character by Miss
Mitchell that so weds an audience to Loire,
and sinks them in sorrow when she IS made
to die from broken heart.
Miss Mitchell portrays with such great
truthftlness those innocent, angelic traits
of youthful female character that SO win
upon the human heart, that she is bound to
enlist the sympathies of an audience.
The characters in which she appears have
all been created specially for her talent in
this respect, and in none Of them does she
fail TO realize a just conception of the
character she impersOnatcs, and it is hard
To determine whether her Lorlc is better
than her FaaeAon, Marie, or other role in
which she may appear. Her acting is SO
uniformly good in all that we have seen her
that it is impossible to say where she does
not excel.
We must say again, in justice to the
management, that we think We can see
production Of plays during Miss Nitchells
engagement. The scenery throughout in
the play of :. Lorle is good, but in the first
act it is elegant. The support Of the com
pany has also been generally of an efficient
character. Mr.. Norton as Reinl.qrd, the
artist, performed with feeling and judg-
ment. Miss Eliza O'Connor, as the Countess
Ida, also did well and Miss Lizzie Herbert
as Bor5e!, an old maid, could not do better.
Tomorrow night, Miss Maggie Mitchell
takes beneft-her last one in this city
this season. She is worthy, and deserves
crowded house. Those who have not seen
her should nor fail TO embrace this oppor-
tunitv
