the party bc in some way cast out of 1t, 1t Is
almost useless to hope that our legitimate ma
jority in the State can be brought to the polls.
We DO not ask for the General Committee I'M
mumty from any criticism, however severe
But it is certainly in order TO ask for some
proof of charges so freely and rccklessly made
IA those which have been launched against
that organization. This has been repeatedly
done, and The evidence has never been pro-
duced. We refer our readers to the full ana
complete analysis of all these baseless accusa-
tons which we print to-day, and do not donD,
that the verdict of the mass of dislntereS'eu
Republicans in the State will sustain the posi-
ton assumed by the Committee.

A communication from a wcll-infOrmed cor
respondent gives further and very suggestive
particulars respecting the accounts OF the Ere
Company, to which Mr.. SOuthmayG invited the
attention Of the Assembly Railroad Committee
ON Wednesday. When Messrs. Fisk and Gould
obtained control of the road the total amount
of common stock was 25lll,2lO. In three
wears they issued SIS, 4257 200 additional. Now
they had no power to create new stock Ill
rectly; but they claimed authority under
provision Of the general railroad act to
raise money by the issue of bonds to complete
the building and equipment of the road while
another provision of the same act authorized
the holders of such bonds to convert them, nj
their option, into stock. 1t was by this device
that the market was flooded with Eric shares,
and the Directory enabled to issue as much "A
il needed to maintain itself in power. The
convertible bonds, it will be observed, might
only be issued in order to raise money TO COM
plete and equip the road. The accounts fled

and Surveyor are required to show exactly how
much has been spent for these purposes III
which the managers include all improvements
of the permanent way and the cost OF all man

OF course there was no opposition to the
entry Of the Germans into Paris,-not even
the riotDg which "A certain doubtful authority

20 be reasonably expected that the Parlsians
who threatened so loudly, after the war was
concluded and the enemy still distant,
would display any particular daring
or betray any extraordinary anlmOSlty
when they came in sight and within reach.
Paris was as quiet on Wednesday as a Ncw-En-
gland village on Sunday; the Germans occupied
the quarters assigned them without int Eruption
and without intenupting any one and the
meaningless ceremony of the occupation of
the conquered Capital was as tame an incident
as the war has witnessed. We publish this
morning full special description Of the entry
of the troops into the city, which gives all the
most interesting scenes of what was, in spite
of its tameness, a significant event.

to destroy our Revenue from Imports by stop

Summer; but they are no better satisfied

The Conference Committee on the Income
Tax Repeal bill yesterday agreed, quite unani-
mously and emphatically, to disagree We in
cline to think they were rather harmonious
in their discordance. 1t has been suspected
for some time that this legislative trick was
designed to defeat the repeal. The action of
the Committee and a vote of the House re-
lecting the bill confirms this belief.

rios might, In the pofesssi"n Of an Ell
terpiising nation, be rendered fertile
source of prosperity. At the extrem-
ity OF the Fay Of Panama Ia an Rrchi-
peleEo, consisting of many Islands,
aud near the coast lies a considerable
bank Of pearl oysters. These oysters
produce pearls Of large size, though,
in poiut Of beauty and regularity, they
are inferior TO those Of India.
All the inhabitants OF Panama and
vicinity who are in easy circumstan.
ces, keep negroes, who dive to procure
pearls for their masters. They are
dispatched to the islands, where tents
and boats ere kept in readiness.
Eighteen or twenty OF these poor ne
grocH, who are excellent swimmers,
and who possess the power Of holding
in their breath fOr considerable time,
are under the control Of ali oyerreer.
They swim around under tho water
until they tiud hank Of oysters,
where the sea is not more than ton,
twelve or fifteen fsthonls deep. The
negroes then ascend to ths boat and
cart anchor. They tie around their
waists rope, one end Of which is iss-
tened to the boat. and lump into the

He then ascends to take breath, and
to deposit the oysters in a little bag
in The boat. AS soon as he recOvere
himself he dives q second time, and so
on until he is tired, or has f1Rhed q
sufficient number Of Oysters. Enca OF
these negro divers must supply his
msstcT with certain number Of
pearls daily. When the negro has
tlshed as many oysters as he thinks
sufficient, he opens them in the prea-
ence Of the oyerseer, and delivers t0
him the pearls, whether small or large,
perfect Or imperfect, until he has COM
plete,l the number due to itis master;

negro, who usually sells them to his
master. The negroes sometimes Ell
