ELECTRICITY AS A MOTIVE PowER.-Gen-
eral Leggett, the new Commissioner of Pat
ents, has placed in charge of a special exami-
ner the Improvement in machinery for using
electricity as motive power, for which caveats
are now being filed. A new Jersey inventor
claims that the power can be by his invention
indefinitely multiplied without increasing the
size of the battery or the strength of the cur
rent. He has at Washington two-horse pow
er engine, run by a single cup battery, the ex-
penSe being no greater than the cost of bat

The French Civil War.

1t appears by Berlin dispatch that the
peace treaty just concluded between France
and Germany is by no means SO fattering to
the Versailists as was indicated by previous
dispatches. The Paris forts are still to be
held by the Germans until billion and half
of francs shall have been paid, one half billion
within thirty days after the occupation of the
city by the Versailles government, and bill
lion by December. Vigorous fighting contin-
ues, but for the present seems to be principal
ly done with cannon and mitraieuses, or
musketry at long range. 1t is asserted in some
quarters that the communist forces are only
about $4,000 strong, and that the Versailsts
could go into Paris Immediately if they would.
There is, however, an evident design On the
part of the latter to accomplish the purpose
with as little risk as possible, and hence the
continued Smelling and battering of the RAM
parts, and devices to draw out the more des-
perate communists to gel. moved down by the
mitrailleuses

1870, only requires every person of lawful
age, whose gross income during the preceding
year exceeds $4,000, to make and render re-
turn to the Assistant Assessor of the district
in which he resides. Persons whose incomes
are less than $4,000 are not required to make
returns, nor is there any authority of law for
Assessors or Assistant Assessors to call for
such returns. In case any Assessor or Assis-
tant Assessor has sufficient evidence that per-
son who has not made return on income has
defrauded the Government, then they will pro-
coed against such person as is prescribed by
law.
