FALLEN PARIs-THE LAST SUNDAY IN
THE UNooNQUERED CAPITAL.-The cor
respondent of the London Times in Paris
wrote ON January 23d
Yesterday afternoon, along the principal
line of the boulevards, it was not easy to
make ones way through the thick crowd
of well-dressed loupgers enjoying their
usual Sunday promenade as composedly as
if there were no shells or short-commons
to disturb the ordinary routine of their life.
The cafes were Glled with guests, discus
sing over absinthe or beer, busily but with
less vehemence than might have been
expected from French politicians at such a
crisis, the downfall of Trochu and the
hopes entertained of the more energetic
Vinoy.
At the Theatre Francais large audience
was listening to one of Moliere's MASTER
pieces, too absorbed to notice the frequent
and now familiar explosions which filled
up the pauses between the speeches of the
actors. Masses of infantry lined both
sides of the Champs Eysees, making the
passers-by believe that the new comman-
der-in-chief ives resolved to make up for
lost time, and that another sorte was
already imminent, despite the crushing
failure of the last Nobody had probably
a suspicion that at that very moment the
troops were wanted for service scarcely a
mile off, in the heart of Paris, and that
French bullets got ready against the Prus-
SLAMS were piercing French hearts.
While one party of citizens were ap-
plauding "Tartuffe," another were shooting
each other from window and doorway
across the open space in trout of the Hotel
de Vile. All the time the Plussian bombs,
as if to supply the key to the strange
scenes enacting in Paris, and the answer
ing cannon of tho forts, made themselves
almost continuously heard. A quarter of
an hours walk from the Boulevards or the
Theatre Francois would have brought one
within the reach of the falling shells. To
complete the picture | ought not to forget
the silent, worn-out crowds, composed
principally of women, waiting YEARLY,
but patiently before the doors of some
butchers or bakers shop until their turn
at last came round to get their pittance of
meat or bread"

SAILORS FROZEN TO DEATH.--A terrible
ase of suffering and death, caused by the
acent severe cold and the ice blockade In
ne East River and Long Island Sound, is
eported as follows A schooner had
,een lying off Hog Island reef, frozen in,
FOR the past few days. The captain and
crew, consisting of two men and boy,
were engaged most of the time in attempt
Ing to cut way out of the ice. Tuesday
the people residing ON the shore, noticing
that everything about the schooner was
still and strange, managed to get within
hailing distance of the vessel when the
boy family made known their condition.
After great exertions the vessel was reach
ed, and there sickening sight was beheld.
The two sailors were dead and literally
frozen stiff, and the captain and boy were
nearly frozen and almost starved, they
having run out of supplies. The captain,
persisting iu his vain efforts to reach the
open sea, had frozen both bis hands and
feet. and was extremely helpless. The
bodies were removed ashore and the help
less survivors taken care ON r World

The Repeal Of the Test-Oath a Law
The Message of the President.

The following is the Presidents message
to Congress yesterday announcing that the
bill repeating the test-oath has become a
law:
TO the Senate and House Of Representa-
tires:
| have this day transmitted to the Senate
the announcement that Senate bill No.
21s, {" An act prescribing an oath of office
to be taken by persons who participated
in the late rebellion, but who are not d is
qualified from holding office by the four
teenth amendment to the constitution of
the United States," has become law, in
the manner prescribed by the constitution,
without the signature of the President.
If this were bill repeating the test-oath
required of persons appointed or elected to
offices of profit or honor, it would meet
my approval. The effect of the law, how~
ever, is to relieve from taking prescribed
oath all those persons whom it was intend
ed to exclude from such offices, and to re-
quire it from all others. By this law the
soldier who fought and bled for his coun-
try is to swear his loyalty, while the gen.
CTdl WHO lGu uO5Ib W UVtrluTOW tIU CUV-
ernment is admitted without it.
cannot aflix my name to law which
discriminates against the upholders of the
government. l believe, however, that it
is not wise to exclude those by an oath OF
office who are not excluded by the con-
stitution, and who are the choice of loyal
voters. But whilst relieving them from
an oath, recommend the release also OF
those to whom the oath has no application.

FINALLY: There is single question which
we wish to submit to all interested in this sub
ject, and it is this: What would be the fate OF
a proposition from Virginia to the General
Assembly of Pennsylvania, asking for such
privileges as are here sought from US
The above appears in an editorial IN the
Whig of this morning. IF that journal
understood the laws of Pennsylvania, il
would not have made such lamentable
display ofignorance.
If any railroad party desires to construct
a railroad in Pennsylvania, they can do so
by subscribing the necessary stock and fill
ing official notice Of their purpose with the
Secretary of the Commonwealth. Penn
sylrania has free railroad lao, under
which any person can build railroad, and
enjoy the same privileges and frac chscs
enjoyed by the Pennsylvania Central.

The condition and prospect of Cuba are
summed up as follows: "The last hope
of any liberal and enlightened policy
toward the Antilles vanished with the re-
turn of the Unionist leaders to power on
the death of Marshal Prim. The only
prospect of relief and ultimate freedom to
the Cubans lies now in the financial dis
tresses of the mother country, and in the
acknowledgment by the Cabinet of King
Amadeus of the impossibility of extin.

As nations can not be imprisoned for debt
and Spaniard can not be convinced o.

Paris advices state that everything has
been arranged at Bordeaux for the settle

has been approved by Bismarck and Won

Immediately, and the German troops VIII
then march through Paris to the Stras-
bourg station, and there take cars as rapidly
as practicable for home. The Assembly
will then adjourn 10 Paris and proceed
with the reorganization of France. But
this looks rather too good to be true. The
Orleanists held caucus in Bordeaux on
Monday; their proceedings have not
transpired. Many Bonapartist agents are
in Bordeaux. A Versailles telegram states
th at if peace is effected on fair terms, it is
probable the Germans will not enter Paris !;
but the oath, instead of the 10th, is con-
sidered the probable day of entry, if one
is agreed upon.
Discredtable reports are in circulation
in Paris against the members of the pro-
visional government, consisting of alleged
corruption in the management OF its heavy
war contracts, by which they made I'M
mense sums of money, besides drinking
up, at the public expense, $4,000 bottles
of wine. Paris has paid four million
francs of its war contribution, and it is
stated that the bankers are fully prepared
to loan the city 2oO,OOo,oOo, the full
amount.
There is said to be reign of terror in
departments in which bands OF francs
tireurs are operating, pillaging of travel
lers and houses being with them the order
of the day.

marck, and confdentislly communicated

Immediately to renew hostilities, and,

trodden the streets of Paris, she will be
apt to make short work with the remnants
of armed opposition that may be lett
There is little reason, however, to fear
such result. France has had enough of
war, and will be far more anxious to re-
cuperate her shattered fortunes than to try
again the chances of disastrous. war. The
Assembly is undoubtedly constituted in
favor of peace, whether it shall restore the
Orleans family to the throne or lay broad
and deep the foundations of stable Re-

away. The Assembly had a preparatory
sitting on Monday at which about three
hundred deputies were in attendance. The
session was afterwards formally opened

A MONUMENT is to be placed by the State
of Ohio over the grave of Gen. Thomas l..
Hamer, heo of the Mexican war, whom
the present generation has quite forgotten.
Hamer was, nevertheless, a brave and brill
liant man, both in military and civil life,
and deserves to be remembered also as the
man who, when Congressman, dscerned
the soldierly capabilities of the boy U. s
Grant and placed him at West Point. So
that we owe to Hamer, indirectly, a great
commander-in-chief and President.
