THE PEACE RUNoRs.
The prussian and French Ministers here
both regard the cable telegrams said to have
been received in Wall street from Europe, that
efYorts are now on foot to secure peaceful
solution OF the difficulty between France
and Prussia, as entitled to no credit They
saw that the absence Of more definite news
is caused by the course OF the French Govern
ment in suppressing, as iar as possible, al In
telllgence Of military movements.
N. pARADoLs SUCCESSOR.
M. Berthemy, acting French Minister, has
ceived a dispatch from The Duke de Gram
conveying information that n. Paradol's sue

The acceptance ofthe mission to England,
which 1t was understood last week had been
intimated by Mr. Rrelinghuysen, has certainly
been reconsldered By that gentleman, and it
is now matter of doubt whether he Will take

win soon decide whether he Will accept or de-
cline 1t, but the attendant circumstances point
to his declination. go

The members OF the Indian peace commits
sibu are arranging 10 start In very short
time for the Indian country, and feel CONF
dent, through the influence OF the converted
Red Cloud and the amiable Spotted Tail, to-
gether with a generous distribution OF pres
ents. to avert ali chances Of war on the plains
this summer, and 1t is very probable that I'm.
der their management Of the fund allowed
them to keep the Indians in gentle mood,
active hostilines may be averted for another
year, or until the energy Of the white race In
building roads and occupying territory in the
extreme western country, or about the line OF
the Pacific Railroad, shall again induce the
mild-tempered aborigineS to rehearse the
story of wrongs unredressed and land unpaid

THE NORTH CAROLINA TROUBLES.
The attention of the administration has been
called to the condition of things in North Cor
olina. Hon. Bedford Brown, of that State,
turned yesterday to North Carolina, after an
unsuccessful effort TO induce the President to
take some steps that would prevent the whole
sale arrests Of citizens Of that State without
process of law, and the refusal to allow them
bail or trial by the courts. He informed lhe
President, on the eve of his departure for
Long Branch, that there was no more OF an
insurrection In: North Carolina than there was
In washington, and that the whole movement
Of martial law was for effect on the State and
Congressional, elections to be held one week
from Thursday, The President said that ne
had been informed by the senators from N0rth
Carolina that the reported outrages on Wnlte
and col0red citizens In several countles IN
North Carolina were true; but IN any eVenE, IL
was not within his duty to Interfere IN the ao.

posTHuAoUs HoNoRS AND TITLE TO Mr. BUR-
-. LINGAME.
The Department of State has received full
dispatches from Chinain regard 10 the death
of Mr.. BurliDgame. Prince Kung and the
| minister of the Foreign office, laid oil the cir.
oumstances respecting the death Of Dir. Bur
! iingame before the throne. In return they re-
ceived an Imperial rescrlpt expressing great
sorrow. and paying high compliment to his
integrity and diplomatic skill, and saying:
.VThe necessary arrangements for his burial
have already been carefully attended to by his
colleagues Chi and Gun, who have also fur
| nished funds for the obsequies. Let also e
| title of the first rank be conferred upon
him. and let the sum of ten thousand taels
he set apart from the funds Of the mis-
sion and bestowed upon his family,
both as proof of our high regard fol
him. Mr.. Lowe, United States Minister in
China, writes: "In this connection | would
observe that the honorary title of the first
rank, conferred by the Emperor. places the
name Of Burlingame on a par with those OF
the four members Of the Privy Council, and Is
one Grade higher than that bestowed upon the
nresfdents of the boards and members of the
foreign office. It Is the highest rank possible
to be- given any one. either living or dead, out
| side Of The royal family. posthumous title,
| conferred directly by the Emperor, Is consid-
I'd by the Chinese the highest mark OF respect
that can be shown 10 the memory Of de-
ceased public officer, as the decree granting II
becomes part of the o3lcal records OF the
empire. which will perpetuate the name ano
fame of the deceased longer than statues or
| monuments"
