Famine and Anarchy in Paris.

The late riotous outbreak in Paris from
the revolutionary district of Beleville, of
which our special correspondent at Paris
has furnished graphic account as a
warning to the authorities that anarchy follows
close upon the heels of famine. doubtless
had the effect of hurrying up the capitulation
of the city. The maintenance of law and order
among the turbulent elements of Paris during
the four months Of this terrible siege is some
thing wonderful to contemplate Had Flourens
and his roughs, however, succeeded in their
first revolutionary outbreak some two
months ago, it is altogether probable that
Jacobin reign of terror would have
been added to the sore distresses Of the siege.
But, as in this second attempt of Flourens,
after his release from prison by his devoted.
sans cul0ttes, so in the first the Gardes Mo-
biles saved the republic and the city from the
savage orgies and atrocities of Partisan mob;
and so we hope the city, without further dis
turbances, may pass through the severe ordeal
Of surrender. There is still the danger,
however, to be feared in the surrender, of
fearful scenes Of violence from the lower ranks
of the populace, maddened by their humilia-
tions and their sufferings, and striking wildly
about them in their blind revenge. We hope,
nevertheless, that the local authorities, who
have managed so well body Of two millions
of naturally restless people, and so wonder
fully, under all the trials and tortures of war,
pestilence and famine, will still be equal to
all the emergencies of an unavoidable capitula-
ton. On the other hand, we have no doubt
that the first efforts Of the Germans, with the
capitulation, will be not to aggravate, but to
relieve the sufferings of Paris.

garded by those who believed that its fall was
inevitable, there is no doubt that the defence of
the capital will fill noble page in French his
tory. Fighting against odds, battling against
famine, contending against the evil influ-
ences of base, bloody and brutal disturbers
within, while from without the rain of shot
and shell brought terror and CONSERVATION to
the people, the struggle was maintained. To
the provinces anxious thoughts were directed,
with anxious hopes that France would
come to the rescue Of Paris. Patiently
that day was awaited. Amid cold
and hunger and sickness and disease the
Parisians still hoped on. Day by day deaths
increased in the capital. Famine was
accomplishing It's dreadful mission of
destruction. Homes destroyed, hearths
desolated, familiar faces disappearing,
misery everywhere met the eye in the streets
OF the capital of France. Then, and not
until then, did the government become con-
vinced of the necessity of yielding, and, acting
under this conviction, laid down its arms at
the feet of the coaqueror.

Congress NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Day ia the
House.

Congress Yesterday-BuncOm5e Day ia the
House.
The work of Congress was at ssandstill
yesterday. The Senate was not in session,
and the House, laying aside all business,
devoted the day to speech-making. Three of
the New York members had the precedence
Mr.. Cox ventiating his ideas on revenue
reform, Mr.. Mayham reviewing the question
of federal interference with elections and Mr..
Calkin laying down the principles of interna-
tional law in connection with the Alabama
claims. The project for grand scheme of
national education was discussed by Mr.. Bird,
of New Jersey, in opposition, and by Messrs
Hoar, of Massachusetts,, Maynard, of Ten
nesee, and Lawrence, of Ohio, in its support
The policy of turning over the public domain
to railroad companies found an apollo
gist and advocate in Mr. Axtel, of
California. The question Of Civil Service Re-
form was discussed by Mr.. Armstrong, of
Pennsylvania, member of the committee on
that subject, which committee has agreed to
report joint resolution as a substitute for all
the pending propositions. This measure gives
control of the whole question to the President,
with authority to prescribe rules and regua-
tons for the admission Of persons into the
civil service, and to employ suitable persons
to conduct inquiries relative to the qualifca-
tons and fitness of applicants for Office This
proposition seems to be free from the objec-
tions to which most of the other plans of civil
service reform are liable, and it would GER
tainly, il adopted, remedy some of the evils
complained Of

POLITICAL MIRACLES IN SPAIN-The ''bue
blood" of Spain bubbling in a ma
twist ferment against the stranger is likely
to accomplish what it has failed to effect
during many years past in its efforts of
abstract or speculative patriotism. King
Amadeus advent has united the leaders of the
1--WE powerful parties-beginning with the
clergy-by which the Spanish kingdom has
beeu alternately soothed, infamed, divided,
distracted and impoverished since the day
after the battle of Corunna to the present.
They have, as we are informed by advices
from Europe, banded themselves in direct
opposition to the Italians crown. This union
is political miracle in itself. We are told,
indeed, that they have almost determined
against his life. 1t is alleged that if his
Majesty 'should escape the fate of Maxi
milan in Mexico 1t will be regarded almost as
miracle" Spanish miracles have always been
pretty sIrasge affairs. Here we have one, and
promise Of another. The opposition to the
King Is a miracle; should he escape its fatal
consequences il will be a miracle. Coed!

CATASTROPHE ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
day morning the steamer W. r. Arthur, one
Of the finest crafts on the Mississippi river,
exploded her boilers killing sixty of her
passengers and crew and severely injuring
many others. The frequency Of similar disas-
ters on Western waters shows either incompe-
tency in officers or criminal carelessness in the
construction Of boilers, and calls for addi-
tional Congressional legislation on the subject.
Life Is of little value among Mississippi boat
men but when passengers are sacrificed by
the score the travelling public is excusable in
entering its protest.

TO see the various Christian bodies united and
acting together in harmony; and we wish to
see revived In the churches primitive, apos-
tollc simplicity. A broad Christian PLATFORM
on which all sects and parties can meet and
agree; less OF the pomp and show Of the
fashionable temple and more of pure and art
less worship not SO much of ornate elo-
quence and personal display in the
pulpit, but more of the sweet sim
plicity of the Sermon on the Mount
that Is what we want. and that is what we must
have. What the Pope and his numerous and
pious and illustrious predecessors have been
unable to accomplish; what Luther and Cal
vim and Knox and their followers have vainly
attempted we now essay; and we are far from
believing that we shall not succeed. Religious
disunion is the great parent of strife, the great
retarder OF the worlds progress. The news
paper, backed up by the railroad and the tele-
graph, has introduced new era The divid-
ing lines of race, of language of religion, are
doomed to disappear. In these United States
we have triumphed over race and over Ian
guage. In spite of both we have preserved
unity. Our purpose is to help towards an
other triumph-the triumph over religion. One
people, knowing no distinctions of race, speak.
ing common language and worshipping in
simple fashion at the same shrine-behold the
future of this great people, and through this
people of the whole human family! To aid in
bringing about this great end we have become
apreacher of Righteousness, and we mean that
our voice. shall be heard crying in the wilder
ness, until, the Fates willing, the end shall be
reached. We have seen many great works
finished as well as begun in our day. We are
not without the hope that as we have taken
part in the commencement we shall also wit
ness and take part in the completion of this
new spiritual temple.

The Wrecks ON the New Jersey Coast.
The story of the fearful shipwrecks on the
coast of New Jersey. near Little Egg Harbor,
seventy miles from New York, as given in the
HERALD of this morning, is full of suffering
and death. The British bark Kate Smith, of
Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, on voyage from
Les Passages, Spain, went ashore during
Wednesday night in the late terrible snow
storm, and, being battered to pieces
early Thursday morning by the maddened
sea, eight of the crew, with the Sandy
Hook pilot on board, were lost These
embraced the captain, five seamen, the stew
ard and his wife, and Joseph Hussey, of the
pilot boat James W. Elwell, No. Z. Then
there are the particulars of the loss, near
the same place, oftwo oyster laden schooners-
the Mary G. Elliott and Alfred Hall-on Mon
day morning last, in the preceding heavy
snow storm. The crew of the first-named
schooner was rescued, but those of the latter,
five in number, went down with their vessel.
The whole story is sad one, and the
first of such Of the winter. 1t is to be hoped
that they are not the forerunners Of equally
terrible ocean calamities

MARSHAL PRIM's FUNERAL.-Prim's funeral,
at the Church Of Atocha, Madrid, is described
in our special correspondence by mail from
the Spanish capital. The procession in the
streets, en- route to the sacred edfce, made
very solemn yet grand and imposing display.
The war chargers of the murdered Marshal
and the shattered vehicle in which he was
seated when lie received his death wounds
were in the line-sad testimonials of the feet
ing character of the glory Of this earth as well
as of the ingratitude of nations The public
mind Of Spain was not, in reality, seriously
impressed by the consequences of the bloody
deed of assassination. 1t was said that the life OF
the young King Amadeus would be in danger
Immediately on his arrival, and that sbets
were offered and taken" as early as New
Years Day on the event that he ''would be
shot before he reached the Cortes"

PERFIDIoUs ALBIoN.-From the frozen will
derness of the Northwest comes a protest
against English perfdy and Canadian oppres-
sion. Yesterday President Grant received
Mr.. O'Donohue, ex-secretary of the late pro-
visional government Of Manitoba, who is the
bearer Of memorial of the people of that
country to the United States government
asking its good Offices in obtaining relief from
the exacti6ns and grievances Inflicted upon
them by the English officials. The memorial
sets forth that not a single pledge given by the
English and Canadian authorities to the pro-
visional government has been kept, and that
the only hope Of the people for relief from the
intolsrable expressions under which they labor
is in independence or annexation to the United
States. Mr.. O'Donohue claims that the annex
alton movement has assumed formidable pro-
portions in several British provinces, especially
in British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Prince
Edward Island, and that it only requires
encouragement on the part of the United
States government to make this policy felt
throughout the Dominion of Canada.

A RIVAL OF ERTE.-For troublesome liti-
cation the Erie Railroad has formidable

length is forced into bankruptcy. The case
was to have been argued before Judge Batch

VIRGINIA OFFICE SEEKERS want new deal
Yesterday delegation Of ''outs" made raid
upon the White House, captured the President
and held him prisoner until they had shown
how the Old Dominion could be returned to the
radical fold by a general change of federal
Office holders in that State. A somewhat
severe remedy that. and of doubtful efficacy.

ROME AFTER THE DELUGE.-The con-
dition of the modern ark of Christianity,
the city of Rome, as it presented the
day after the late inundation, is reported by
special letter from the Holy City in our
columns. The loss Of property was very great,
and considerable amount OF individual suffer-
ing resulted in consequence. The people APP
pear to have borne the visitation with great
patience. They also displayed vast amount
of energy in repairing damages. The suffer
ing citizens had many friends in the different
foreigners who were resident in Rome at the
moment, the American visitors leading off at
once with subscription of twelve thousand
lire. The English in Rome and the Roman
nobility donated also to the relief fund largely
and promptly. His Holiness the Pope was
compensated to some extent for his affection,
as King Victor Emmanuel had just ordered
that sum Of five million lire, which had been
found in the Papal treasury when the Italians
took possession Of the city, should be restored
to his Holiness An excellent preface towards
reconciliation, or it may be a royal mea culpa
in hope of the do 0eniam of the Pontiicate.

The WEST AND THE INCOME TAx.-The
West is opposed to the repeal of the income
tax. The Wisconsin Assembly-73 to 9-has
just voted for the continuance of the tax, and
this will explain the vote of Frank Blair, Of
Missouri, against the repeating bill in the
United States Senate. Fixed incomes out
West are comparatively few. The great pres
sure Of this tax is in the East, and this is the
difficulty; but justice is justice, and still we
think it will prevail in the repeal of this tax.

WISCONSIN takes hopeful look of the future
and thinks her citizens able TO bear all sorts of
taxation without grumbling; hence the
Assembly of that State yesterday, by vote
of seventy three to nine, memorialized Con-
gress against the repeal of the income tax.

the religious life and the result is that the
various religious bodies see themselves and
see all their neighbors, and, beholding, dis
cover how little each is unlike the other. For
the first time in history it is known by the
common people that the moral and religious
teaching Of the Jew and the Christian, of the
Romanist and the Protestant, of the Episco-
palian and the Presbyterian and the others is
substantially the same. We see ourselves,
others see themselves, and we all see our
selves as others see us. The result cannot
but be gain to humanity and to the cause Of
pure, simple and undefiled religion.
We must not be blamed If we take to our
selves some little pride in this matter. For
some ten or twelve centuries the Pope has
been endeavoring to maintain or restore Chris
tian unity. For some three centuries the fol-
lowers of Luther and Calvin and John Knox
have been making similar efforts. But dis
union, not union grows. Poor Father Hya-
cinthe saw the evil; but he could not cure it.
Manfully he fought, not ignobly did he sue
cumb; but even now, while he clings fondly
to the skirts of Mother Church, he sees not the
means of accomplishing his cherished purpose.

Riches ruined Rome. Riches ruined Jerusa-
lem and corrupted the Jewish Church.
Riches have ruined and corrupted Christianity.

know it, are unity and simplicity. We wish
