The nnrricndcs In Pnris.

HENRI RoCnEFoRT was arrested at his res
idence in Paris on Monday evening. A great
gathering Of people at once appeared around
the place, and barbados were erected there
and in other parts of tho city during tho
night. There was great deal of excite
ment all day yesterday, but no evidence of q
revolutionary organization powerful enough
to contend against the troops. The police
arrested many individuals, but the day
passed away without anything that could be
called an instruction.
NAPOLEON is very unpopular in Paris.
But the soldiers are on his side, and he will
not hesitate to use their weapons. If the
army should turn against him he will fall,
but not otherwise.

gold. If to this DO added tho total Of old
private obligations outstanding, which can
not be much less than a quarter Of a million,
we shall have probably 81 ,000, 100000 in all.
Fortunately, the difference between gold

entail absolute ruin upon tho debtor class,
even If they should have to make their pay

that before the problem begins to be worked
out gold and grcenbacks will be on par,
and thus all chance for bitter disputes be
avoided.

The organization known as the Grand
Army Of the Republic have arranged to take a
part Of the responsibility Of the Union Home for
Soldiers Children, in the upper part Of the city.
This excellent institution has hitherto been under
the sole direction Of Mrs Judge DAILY. Mrs. Ad-

tnue to have the benefit Of their care, but they
will not have to bear the whole burden Of keep
ing 1t up. There are now some three hundred
children there. and the number will soon be in
creased to thousand. The Legislature should
not overlook the Union Home in It's annual bene-

hand after the duplicates had been safely dis

Such frauds as these, and we dare gay
many others equally ingenious, have pre-
vailed in the whiskey traffic, and have driven
many honest distillers out Of it. This is
perfectly notorious, but no extensive effort
has before been made to detect and punish
them. We do not know whether the test-
mony which Mr.. BAILEY has collected
lie or is not in every case perfectly con.
elusive. That is question for the
courts to settle, and the sooner it is
tried tho better. The distiller who
defrauds the Government Of the tax
legally imposed upon his products robs all
his fellow-citizens. 1t would be shameful to
the country and to it's administration ofjustice
ifsuch enormous frauds as have been prac-
ticcd should escape retribu,ion altogether.

tension on the southwest side Of the Park, the
more the transaction Is examined the worse II
appears. As the Mayor observed In his late mes
sage, It is somewhat suspicious that the Third
street Improvement, made some years since,
should have been stopped at Ninth avenue, ap
pareatly counting on the extension three years
before it was made. The one hundred and twenty
odd acres east If Flabush avenue are doomed
