ABSURD REPoETs AND RUMoRs IN PARIS are
abundant, but the absurdest of these absurdi-
ties is the report circulated in Paris yesterday
that number of privateers, destined to prey
upon French commerce, have been fitted out
by Germans in several of the ports of the
United States. Why not make it feet of
iron-clads? 1t would serve as well for Pari-
sian sensation.

AT the rate they are going now they will pre-
cipitate conflict which the Cullom bill in its
most oppressive clauses did not anticipate, and
one, too, which the United States itself will
be powerless to quell for it may result in a
series of murderous feuds aud vendettas,
wherein neighbors and relatives are arrayed
against one another

We have not space TO-DAY to say all that

That the very worst roads In this vicinity are the
sO-cailed 4" turnpike roads, and that the par
tcUlar - turnpike in question is abhOrTed and
avoided by man and beast. No city in the
country is put to such disadvantage by its ex-
terror roads as Washington. In no direction
have we access 70 the country except over one
of these 8. turnpike" roads. They afford no
accommodation 10 the public, and vet by their
eVOTbitant tolls they serve to make everything
consumed in the city so much desrer, and TO
that extent increase the cost of living here. and
hinder the prosperity OF the city.
u Is safe to say that there is not a northern
village OF one hundred inhabitants that has not
better roads leading from it than the city of
Washington, with a population OF 10000.

One Of the most prominent features of the

Cur kilograms from Europe by cable TODAY
are very full, being the accumulation since day
before yesterday; and though somewhat con-
hieting they throw great deal OF light on the
situation In the first place the pacific attitude
of Russia seems To have sllayed the apprehen-
sions OF a general war to grow out of the Eastern
question, for the present at least. In the next
place the fact seems TO be established that Gen.
DE Palladine, from whom so much was expected
by the French, evacuated Orleans as untenabIe,
and retreated with his army OF 200, 900 men, thus
crushing all hopes Of a junction Of the army OF
the Loire with TrOchus forces. The tone OF
the dispatches from inside Paris are still hope
ful. but TO the outside world it looks as if the
situation, bears out the representations as to a
speedy end of the war, which must come with
tie fail of Paris. and that event. il is prophesied
in London, will take place within three weeks.
