Netc York, Dec. LA special from
Paris to the Herald says that the govern
ment of France is very uneasy, and exer-
cises the utmost vigilance. There is great
display of troops in Paris, and all points
are guarded by patrols every night, and the
police are stationed at every street corner.
The public mind is very unsettled, and the
general impression is, that the present state
of affairs cannot last any length of time.
The last words Of General Rossel to the
French were, ''If you have not before long
crushed the army, it will crush you. II
has always been pretorian, and has always
formed distinct party whereas it should
be national. The dangeris pressing. The
Republicans have abandoned the insurrec-
ton. You did not like the men of the 18th
of March. did not like them but it was
Necessary to join in order TO restrain them."

London, Dec. 1.-The final settlement Of
the United States funded loan was made at
the office of Cooke, McCullocll & Co., to-
day, without disturbing the money market,
the bonds closing higher than ever before,
and the loan advancing to 903 in gold, be-
cause the settlement was anticipated. The
portion of the loan unsettled at the opening
of the banks to-day was only twenty mill

fifteen million was arranged in London,
leaving less than six millions undisposed OF,

sharply criticised during the debate, many
pronounced extravagant, and it looked at
one time as if the budget would be rejected,
the opposition was so strong and determined;
but the Ministers Iwarned the House in the
most significant manner that it should pre-
pare for the future--that France contem-
plated revenge for her defeat, and would
seek it as soon as the indemnity was paid.
The only safety for Germany was in her

til better condition Of things shall exist

secure peace and good order on the island,

disturbances, this feet will be used in such
cases for the protection Of American citi-

Washington, Dec. department Off
cisls state that they have not experienced
SO quiet time on the eve of the assem-
bling of Congress for many years. Al
though there are large number Of sena-
tors and representatives in town, their
visits to the Departments are few and far
between, and the impuftuHities for places
for their constituents are unfrequent.
1t is the general opinion in official circles
that this unusual hesitancy in seeking office
is caused by the desire to avoid the strin.
gent examination which it is feared would
be incumbent upon the applicant to dis
charge, in accordance with the rules lalt
down by the Civil Service Commission.

AN INTERESTING LAW POINT TO BE
SOLVED. For the past three days very
interesting case has been occupying the at
tention of the Judges of the Supreme Court
of Appeals of Virginia. The question is
not of so much importance on account Of
the amount involved, being only six or sew
en- hundred dollars, AS the points to be de-
cided, which thereafter will govern the set
tlement of similar issues which may arise.
The suit stands on the docket as Wilson
VS.. the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, and
the question for the court to decide is
whether on connecting line Of railroads all
Of them are responsible in the aggregate pro
rata for loss incurred in travelling on any
one of them, or only the particular road on
which the loss occurred. The plaintiff in
this action is Baltimore lady, and in that
city purchased through ticket to go thence
to Charleston, West Virginia. One of the
roads over which she passed in t,'a,isitu was
the Chesapeake and Ohio, and she claims
that on it she lost her baggage of the value
Of six or seven hundred dollars. She was
non-suited in her action for damages in the
lower court, and took the case up on an
appeal. Appellants counsel, Robert How

ment, and George d. Wise. For appellee's,

~,-~
We know yet Of some good, even in that
much-abused piece of dusky humanity,
Cochise. He is brave as the very lions
heart, and was noble, generous and kind
but he was imposed upon by supercilious
army officers. Cochise and his people had
prided themselves always in the boast that
no hand Of theirs had ever shed white
mans blood. They were peaceful, and de-
lighted in performing friendly offices fer the
whites. But spooney lieutenant, in COM
mand Of a post, was onamored of a pretty
Mexican woman, and her child was spirited
away by prowling Indians. And this lieu-
tenant. to illustrate his gallantry to his mis-
tress. made a paradenof the case, and
swore that the child must be brought back.
To crown his gallantry he had Cochise and
his brother, Manguss Colorado, captured
and held as hostages for the chlld's return.
Cochise called all his people to bis place of
imprisonment, and satisfied himself that
none of them knew anything Of the mat
ter. He so reported to the commander
Of the post, and offered his services to
assist in finding the child and visiting pun
ishment npon the Offenders but no, the
lieutenant .stolidly refused to hear the In
dams story, backed though it was by q
life of manly bearing and good behavior.
Cochse was retained and badgered and
threatened till. IN bis desperation, he slashed
through the tent with his knife, and leaped
into the faces of the surrounding soldiery,
in broad daylight, and struck through the
ranks and off to the plains.o, Since then he
has been the impacable enesny of the white
race. The Indian to him 'sera on the

in the interest of humanity in general we
would like to hear of Cochise being shot
down, yet we must admire the brave de-
finance with which he mathematics oul
