FROM EUROPE.



PARIS, Feb. 14.-Departments not occupied
by Germans are being ravaged by franc-tireurs
who are pillaging travellers and houses. Terror
reigns in these departments.
Discreditable revelations are being made con.
corning the provisional government. 1t is said
that members hold immense sums made out OF
contracts; that they secretly disposed of stores
of provisions, and that in the hotel de Vile
$4,000 bottles of wine were drank.
Provisions are pouring in, and prices are low
THE FRENCH NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
BORDEAUX, Feb. 10. - World special: A
quorum of the assembly have not arrived yet.
There was caucus to-day of Orlean.sts, who
believe that they possess a clear majority. Sub
sequently, at a meeting of all the deputies who
have arrived, it was resolved to adjourn over
until such quorum is in the city. Many Bona
partist agents are here.
THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR PEACE.
PARIS Feb. 13.-Everything has been arranged
at Bordeaux. The committee to negotiate the
treaty of peace has been selected, and draft Of
the treaty had been approved by Bismarck and
Moltke. The treaty is to be signed Immediately
and the German troops will then march through
Paris to the Strasbourg station, and there take
the train for home. The trains will follow each
other as rapidly as possible. The assembly will
then adjourn TO Paris, and proceed with the re.
organization of France.
VARIOUS LONDON DISPATCHES.
LONDON, Feb. IA portion of the Paris
contribution has been pad, viz: G2,0O0,000 in
bills on London; 91 100000 in notes of Bank Of
France, and Fl 100000 in specie.
Paris is tranquil. The disarmament is pro
ceeding and is nearly completed.
If peace is made on fair terms, it is probable
that the Germans will not enter the city, but the
oath Of February is considered the probable day
of entry, in case it is determined upon.
A second ballot will be required in Paris to
determine the election of NM. Favre, Uhlrich,
Fonville, Fadherbe, Cochin and Gambon, who
have not obtained the requisite majorities.
Minister Cremcux has ordered the liberation

THE BOWEN SCANDAL.
During the trial of representative Bowen for
bigamy, to-day, Johu Wilkinson swore that he
believed that he was married to the woman
known as Mrs. Parke Bowen, or Tabitha Bronze
Ia, and that Judge Henderson performed the
ceremony, in 1860 She wanted to be married
and have c. q. BOwen's name, which he as.
sumed. She offered the witness 5000 as com.
peusatiOn, and he took the money.
He did not remain with her, and never saw
her again until yesterday in court. Wilkinson
said he had no particular business, but played
cards and kept faro bank. Judge Henderson
recalled, said he never saw Wilkinson before
and did not marry him to Tabitha Parke. The
witness also swore that, in 1860, he was CLERK
of the circuit court and judge of the probate
court in Tallahassee. He identified the
certificate of marriage issued to Tabitha
Parke and G. c. Bowen by him as clerk
and the judge performed the marriage ceremony
il accordance with the law of Florida He
recognized the Mrs. Bowen now in court, as the
lady he married to Bowen. At this time they
lived as man and wife for twelve months, to his
knowledge. Wilkinson, having left the court
room, was sent for, but could not be found. The
testimony thus stated refers to the first marriage
of Bowen; the second marriage with Mrs. Susan
P. King, being unquestloned.

THE TENNEssEE.-A report was current in
Boston, yesterday, that the United States
steamer Tennessee had been seen off the coast
of Hayt, and considerable interest was mani
tested to learn the truth in the matter. The
statement was founded upon the report Of Capt.
Hopkins, of the bark Mary Baker, which ar
rived from Hayti, which she lett on the 26th of
January. He states that on the 2Sth of January
he saw an American man-of-war off st. Nicholas
Mole at the northwest end of Hayt She was
under steam when first seen, and Immediately
made sail, steering toward the east end of Cuba,
going off under both steam and sail at a slow
rate. From the description given Of the steamer
by Capt. Hopkins, it was supposed that she
might have been the Tennessee.
She was then out eleven days and was fully
due at that point, but her course for SANTANA
Bay lay in the opposite direction from the course
she is described as then taking, unless we con-
cude that she had before reached her destina-
ton and was returning to Cuba to announce
her own arrival in which case we should have
heard of the fact ere this by way of Havana.
Capt. Hopkins states in addition that he was
about four miles from the steamer when he OBJ
served her, and that she was very long vessel
with a full ship rig. The weather was fine at
the time. St. Nicholas Mole is between three
and four hundred miles from SANTANA Bay, at
the opposite end Of the island.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IA.
ANOTHER CASE SETTLED.
The house settled another election case this
afternoon.
TO BE CROWDED OUT.
The McGarrahan claim is likely to be crowded
ont of a consideration.
SLIGHT CHANGE FOR A GOOD MEASURE.
There is very little chance of a debate in the
house on the women's rights question, though
Mr.. Bingham will try to get an evening set
apart for that purpose.
THE TENNESSEE.
The bit of news respecting the Tennessee, via
Boston, Ito be found in another place. was cir
culated over the capital at noon, and gave much
satisfaction. Some of the more sceptical, how
ever, still insist that it is of no importance, and
that it is strange we don't hear directly of her
arrival.
SUBSIDY.
The house committee on appropriations
agreed this morning to double the subsidy of the
China steamship line, raising it to one million
per year.
ASHLEY.
Lieutenant Governor Jim Ashley was on the
floor this afternoon, and was heartily greeted by
his numerous old associates.
VANCE.
Gov. Vance, senator elect from North Carroll
ma, is not so confident that congress will relieve
him of his disabilities as he was a month ago.
The outrages of Vances friends in North Caro-
lima against the colored people, have reused a
bitter feeling against him. He may have to
wait months before he will obtain seat in the
senate.
MR.. BROOKS.
There was an amusing incident at the opening
of the senate. Mr. Brooks, of Massachusetts
had the floor, for short speech, and, as is usual
the resolutions concluding the report in the case
were read. and, before Mr.. Brooks was aware Of
it, the house adopted the majority resolution
and this cut him off from his right to speak
The only way left for him was to move to re-
consider, which he did, and this let his speech
in.
MR.. HOOPER.
Mr.. Hooper says he shall try to get up his
income tax bill Thursday, but he has little hope
of success.
WEST POINT.
The West Point debate drew out large gal
lery audience to the house, spite of the snow
storm. There was much excitement in the
debate. A large number of members were
against the report of the committee, solely on
the ground that it is not the business of con.
gress to attend to the management of the school
or to maintain discipline there.
MIR. HoAR's BILL.
The national education bill will hardly come
up again in the house, though the chairman
Mr.. Arnell, will try very hard to obtain an eve
ning's session for further debate. The support
ers of the measure do not desire a vote in this
congress, as it could do no good, for the senate
would not take up the bill, even if the house
were to pass it, Besides, it is sure to be defeat
| ed if vote is reached in the senate. The
trainers of the bill at no time confidently
expected it to pass the present congress. Their
| principal object was to provoke debate, and tc
call the attention Of the country to the subject

WINE FOR MEDICINAL AND SACRAMENTAL
UsEs--Dr. 7. B. Welch, of Vineland, N j., has
devised a peculiar process of preparing the juice
of the grape, in concentrated form, so as to be
entirely free from alcohol. His aim was to
make u wine without fermentation, which, in
medicine and at the communion table, should
take the place of the manufactured and drugged
compounds falsely called wine. He has succeed
ed 10 produce an excellent article 1t has been
analysed by DR.. Hayes, who says SIT is en-
tirely free from alcohol, and one fluid ounce con-
tains 227 grains of fluid extract and saccharine
matter, free from deleterious substances of any
kind" 1t is pure juice of the grape with some
sugar added, and specially prepared for preserva-
tion. Mr.. Nelson Scott, druggist, has some
specimens of this article.
