WHY CONDUCTORS ARE NOT BETTER MEN.

SIR: The rules of the city railroad compa-
MES are not made with any regard to the comfort
venience OF the public The manner in which conductors
are appointed treated is such as prevents good men
from accepting the position The conductor is first
placed at the bottom Of the extra list and has to
attend many weary morning in the faint hope OF PICK
ing up an odd days work This he frequently falls to
obtain although he is expected TO attend regularly
day al the depot After long probation OF TINS KIND ne
may be appointed regular conductor but even then the
tnaton ia precarous and the hours OF labor altogether
too long OF competent men VIII not submit 10
such treatment, and hence they shun the city Taroa

countrymen. | had correspondence with
M. Jules Favre upon the subject, which had
the honor to transmit to you, and by winch
you will have seen that the city authorities
were overruled and the tax NOT enforced.
Then it was proposed to put the refugees from
the neighboring villages who had come into
Paris into the apartments OF some of the
Americans | resisted that, and the intention
was not carried out, and when the lombard
ment took place and the people from that part
of the city exposed to the shells were driven
out, it was proposed to shelter them in the
vacant apartments in other parts of the city.
Many of the apartments of the Americans
were threatened in this way, but gave orders
that in no case would | consent to have fur
nished apartments of Americans occupied in
this manner, and am happy to say that no
apartment has thus been occupied And, last
", after the armistice was declared and all the
troops came into the city another attempt was
made to quarter soldier and officers also in the
vacant apartments of Americans but pro-
tested against that and no apartment has yet
been occupied in that way. / hope, therefore
when our country people return to their homes

At one early period the house Of a German,

MINISTER W1SHBURNE.

The American Minister to France, Hon. f.
B. Washburne, has written a letter to Secre-
tary Fish giving brief account of his expe-
rience during the seige. He made every eff
tort in his power to protect all who claimed
his assistance, and gives the French govern
ment credit for favors shown and general
soou treatment extended to him. lie says:
1T is with pleasure that am enabled to
state that have succeeded in nroteotinp oil
American property in Paris, and that no harm
has come to any of our Americans who have
remained here. This statement must he onali-
ned, however, so as not to apply to the young
American, Mr.. Swagar, who lost HIS lie h,
having his foot torn to pieces by Prussiap
shell, and to the two young inen whose proper.
ty was destroyed by the bursting of she'll in
their apartments in the Latin quarter. Sew
eral attempts were made to interfere with
American property at different times, but
must do the Government of the national de-
fence the credit to say that they have treated
all such matters as / have deemed it necessary
to bring to their attention with the utmost
fairness and consideration. In the first
place it was proposed to quarter the Garde
Mobile in the American apartments but upon
an application TO M. Gambetta, then Minister
of the Interior, he gave an order that it should
