Poor France .

Paris has at last fallen, and the in
vincible Germans occupy the forts
around the city. The particulars of
the capitulation will be found in an
other column. The armistice agreed
upon by Bismarck and Favre will
end on the 10Th of this month, but it
is scarcely possible that the French
will prolong the war. If the Consti-
tutional Assembly meets during the
suspension of hostilitics, that will
doubtless make peace on the most
favorable terms they can secure. If
France is left untrammeled by Prus-
sia. she will doubtless choose a repub-
lican form of government, although it
would not last but short time. That
the Empire will be finally established
appears to be inevitable. 1t must be
conceded that the republican leaders
of France have acted with discretion,
if not with wisdom, since Sedan.
However much we may condemn
them for their treachery TO the En-
peror, after forcing him to go TO war.
it cannot be denied that they have ac-
complished wonders since his cap
ture and dethronement. Left almost
without soldier, OH the 18th of Sep
tember, they formed and equipped
magnificent armies, even in hearing
of the very tread of half q million OF
the enemy. Though the patriotism
courage, suffering and death of the
French hare availed them nothing
vet the almost, superhuman effort:
they have put forth, when success was
impossible, causes the heart 10 all The
more deeply sympathize with the
| proud, brave people in their bitter
and utter humiliation. The terms de
manded by the vulture, Bismarck
are hard, indeed, TO be borne by
people who have been accustomed t(
dictate. not accept terms. The ehlV
a;rous French people have ever sym
parhized with people struggling fol
liberty, as IN our two Revolutions
and thew deserve better fate than Il
sbe crushed under the heeis st an infe
rior nation.

Chanccry Court.

The Chanccry Court is still in ses-
sion, although the business of that
Court, ifnot suspended, has been con-
siderably retarded by the Intervention
of the Circuit Court. The Chancellor
informs us that he will keep his Court
open, as long as he can so as TO des-
patch as much of the business of the
Court as possible. His next Court
will be at Pulaski, commencing on
the Sd Monday of February. Not
withstanding the interruption of the
Chancery, by the Circuit Court a large
amount of business has been disposed
of by the former as will be seen by
the minutes of the Court, which show
record of some $50 to 300 pages,
BY holding long terms at this place il
is hoped and expected that all the
old cases will be Off the docket BY the
present year.
The accomplished Chancellor is Civ
ing general satisfaction, by the wis
dom of his decisions and his gentle
manly manners. Long may he live to
please the COED people and judge the
bad. +

A Dog Law.

The Tennessee Legislature has at
last passed dog law, allowing the
different County Courts to levy tax
on dogs, not less than fifty cents nor
more than two dollars, after exempt
ing one for each family, We trust
that our County Court will take hold
of the matter at once and pass law i'll
conformity with the provisions ofthe
act of the Legislature. Such 4 law
will in the end rebound TO the inter-
est of those most interested in keep
ing dogs. One dog is enough for a
family, as a watch, dog and sports
man would not have bird dog that
was not worth two dollars. Every
farmer with whom we have CONVEX
sed upon the subject, has expressed
himself in favor of a law that will
protect the sheep interests from the
dogs. Those who have sheep say
that they are always uneasy, through
fear that dogs will Kill them. We
like dogs, but their interests conflict
with the interests of the sheep, and
we take sides with the innocent and
valuable sheep.

III is now understood, we believe
that Judge FIELDING HURST, United
States Revenue Collector for this Dis.
trict, has been removed from his of
flee by the administration. We have
had no conversation with Judge
HURST upon the subject, but we un-
derstand that he explains his dismis-
sal in this way: He made no efforts to
prosecute meu for holding Office in
his county, who were under disabili-
ties, because, said he, nobody else are
capable of holding the offices. The
very head and front of his offending,
however, was in refusing to pay a
black mail tax of $500, assessed by. the
administration to do the dirty work
for the Radical party. His opponents
say that the Judge was dismissed be-
cause he did not keep his books
straight, and allowed himself to be-
come five hundred dollars in arrears.
This sounds very strange, as Judge
HURST is reputed to be man of large

whisky was recently taken from the
ruins of a building that had been
burned down in this State, and it is
said that, although the barrel was
charred to a coal, not drop of the

that mixture of water, strychnine
