rnE DEFEAT IL THE FRENCH SENATE.
IN the Senate, yesterday, tie Minis
ter Of War said
" We have learned through various
unofficial channels that Marshal Ba-
zaiue failed IN his recent attempt to
free himself from the hostile armies
which held him shut up around Metz.
His efforts were heroic.
The King Of Prussia could not help
rendering justice to the yalor of our
soldiers.
Marshal MaeMahon, after endeayor-
ing to reach n hand to Bazaine in the
direction of the north, was obliged to
retire into the environs of Sedan, where
there were several days hard fighting,
with alternative success and reverses
but we contended against an army
numerically our superiors, and in spite
Of the most energetic efforts, the at
tempt seems to have terminated in an
unfortunate manner for our army.
Since the present Cabinet came into
power it has drawn from France all
that her resources could yield and they
still remain SO strong that with energy
and the help of the nation we may yet
have the last word
Let us hope that God will help us
and drive the enemy from our soil
Jerome David added to the above by
statiug that the deiences Of the capital
were in the best condition and accord
ing to competent judges is capable Of
resisting all efforts Of tue enemy.
Let us defend Paris, he said, on
the walls and in the streets, and II must

ruins.

A GIRL in Ironton, Ohio, recent
ly shot her seducer dead, because
he refused TO so "right away and
marry her. Her brother was with
her when the seduCer was killed.
The dying man averred It was the
brother who shot him, but the girl
assumes the crime, and earnestly
begs to be made the only sufferer,
This is another evidence that the
laws for Furnishing adulteries, Sc
duCtiOn, and all that class of of
fence, are (in all parts Of the states)
totally inadequate. They should
be reformed. When they are made
sufficiently severe TO deter men and
women from betraying each other,
we shall have less Of seduction and
adultery, and acts, such as the one
above chrOniCIed, will very nearly
cease altogether.

A CASE involving State and Fed
eral jurisdiction has recently arisen
in Montgomery, Alabama. The
State law levies a tax upon the
Southern Express Company. The
company applied to Judge Busteed
Of the United States Court, for an
injunction, which was grauted.
The State Auditor has issued a
circular 10 tax collectors ordering
them to collect the tax in spite of
the injunction. The State and
company both have eminent coun.
sci engaged to tight it through the
courts.

Two hundred and fifty Chinese
passed down the river Oh the stea-

They were engaged by General j..
G. Walker, for labor on the Hous-
ton andTexas Central railroad. They
arc to receive twenty five dollars
per month, in gold, and rations.
Their transportation from CalifOr.
mia is paid BY the employer, and
they are engaged for term of three
years service. General Walker is
prepared to furnish any number
required for service on rail roads
and levees. Ne does not think,
however, that the time has arrived
for their introduction into the cot
ton fields of the South. That time he
thinks will como late. WeAhink il
should never come. What planter can
afford TO pay, to feed aud pay TWEEN
ty five dollars in gold per month,
and pay transportation from CALI
