PARIS passionately protests against he
occupation. In the Latin quarter placards
have appeared reiterating, at least in effect,
General Trochu's absurd advice to bar ard
defend the gates, end appealing to tho
Parislans "to make last struggle shor,d
the Germans enter the city," OF courss
this appeal is Anonymous; lor uttsring
similar language General Trochu hes been
invited by NJ. Thiers to resign, thus
promptly receiving the fate of Gambetta,
which the defender Of Paris courtcd by an
act of folly as great as any suggested by
the ill-balancel mind that n'sled the
provinces.
Trochu IS not the only official, howevcr,
who has protested against this prorosed
action Of the Germans. M. Thiers himself
vigorously opposes it, and though he dc.9
not indulge in inflammatory language like
that Of Trochu, he "warns the Germans oil
the responsibility they will incur" It is
difficult TO conceive what this warning

means, or to imagine that 1t can have any
good effect on the Germans, who under all
the circumstances would be justified in
laughing it to scorn. All that there is Of
danger in carrying out the design threatens
the unarmed Parisians. For precedent
with which to justify the act, II the prece-
dent of one wrong can be held to justify
another, the Germans have only to point
to the French occupation of Berlin sixty
five years ago.
But there is little need for threats or
protests The triumphal march into Paris
was to have taken place, as originally
fixed, on the 10Th. instant, but was post
poned until yesterday; now 1t is deferred
until next Monday, and 1t looks as if it
were not to take place at all. 1t was ans
nounced Thursday that only portion of
the army will march through the capital
en- route home; and even this ceremony
may be waived We hope so. The Ger
man triumph has not been so equivocal
that their displays of power are needed to
confirm it to mems eyes.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT CUMBERLAND
MARYLAND.-A shocking accident, result
ing in the death of one man, and very
serious. perhaps fatal injuries to another,
occurred at the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road company's rolling mill on Tuesday
morning. While Samuel Brewer and
David Hartsock, two of the employees of
the mill, were repairing the belt which
drives the saw carriage, one of them hold
ing it off the shafting while the other was
lacing it, by some means Brewers arm
caught on the rapidly revolving shaft, and
tho unfortunate man we9 rapidly whirled
around with it. Hartsock, seeing his fell
low-workman's danger, put forth his hands
to rescue him, when he also was caught on
the shaft and carried around with it, and
in an instant both men were hurled to the
ground, fearfully injured. Everything
possible ives Immediately done for them.
Medical aid was summoned, and Drs.
Healey, Ohr, Dougherty and Duval quickly
responded.
Brewers right arm was torn off above
the elbow and his left ankle broken. He
was also injured internally. Hartsock had
his leg and arm broken, and it is feared
chat he has sustained ssrious injuries about
the head. Brewer survive until about
o'clock p. NJ, having retained his con-
sciousness from the time of his injury. His
death was placid, and his suffering at no
| time seemed to be intense. Hartsock wss
still alive last night, reaction having
taken place, and though his condition is
deemed very critital, there is, we are pleasd
to state, chance for his recovery = Cam

The Indian appropriation bill passed
the Senate Thursday. Its consideration,
of course, brought up the vexed Indian
question. We are firm in the belief that
the Presidents is the only policy which
will benefit both the whites and the Indi-
ans, and bring about general pacication.
So long as the government fails to deal
justly with its savage wards, and SO long
as United States troops hunt them down
like wild beasts, SO long may we expect
continuance of Indian wars. Let Chris
tianity, school-houses, and farming imple-
ments be thoroughly tested before we
despair of reclaimirg these people from
their barbarous practices

IMPEACHMENT OF THE LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR OF ARKANsAs.-An AooIdncse
Little Rock special of Thursday says !:
Only ten senators answered the roll call
this morning. There was considerable
discussion as to the propriety of employ
ing additional assistant, to thec ,rgeant-at-
arms to bring in the absent members. 1t
YVES charged that the sergeant had been
several times in the governors Office with
out making any attempt to arrest. All er
renewing the instructions to the sergeant
and his assistants, the Senate adjourned till
tomorrow. Nothing was done in the
Housei
In the Supreme Court testimony was
closed in the quo aoarranto cese, and the
counsel for the Lieutenant Governor sub
mittsd the case without argument. Not
one scintella of evidence has been intro
duccd by the State TO rebut the positive
proof that the defendant qualified within
the fifteen days, as required by law. The
case hes been SO clearly made out that it is
impossible to conceive that court, packed
for the purpose, can, upon any hypothesis,
decide contrary to the evidence, and oust
the Lieutenant Governor
Clayton's plan has been to keep tho
skulking senators out Of the way until his
court makes an order to oust johnson, then
have them return, resign his position as
Governor, let the Sepato elect majority
president, and turn the office over to him.
But, even ifthis were done, johnson would
appeal to the Supreme Court of the United
States, maintain his position as Governor,
and call on the FEDERAL government to sus-
tain him. Tomorrow will determine the
future course of all parties.

THE legislature of Indiana has finally
amended the divorce laws of the State,
so that under the law, as amended,
where the cause of divorce has arisen in
another State, the petitioner must prove
bona Jide residence of tbr years instead
of one in the State and county in which
the application is filed. No divorce will
hereafter be granted unless the act or acts
complained of were good cause of divorce
in the State in which they were committed.
The causes of divorce must be distinctly
stated, and nothing is left to the discretion
of the judges as heretofore.
Henceforth parties who desire to be
loosed from matrimonial bonds must look
to somc other State than Indiana.

The Haunstein Estate-A Chancery Suit
Commenced for It's Recovery By His Relatives
~ Switserland.-The property of Solomon
Haunstein, of this city, seized when he put an
end to his life in 1861, does not appear likely
to escheat to the Commonwealth, despite the
conviction of Messrs. Chahoon and Sands for
preventing, as is alleged, that desirable con-
summation. Messrs. Bradley T. johnson and
George L.. Christian, attorneys-atlaw, have
commenced suit in the cbancery court of
Richmond, Judge f. Fl. Fitzhugh presiding,
on behalf of certain alleged heirs for its
recovery, which suit stands on record as fol-
lows:
John Haunstein Apdreas III. Haunstein. Henry
Haunstein, Anna Haunstein and Louisa
kratteger--plaintifs.

John W. Wright, sheriff of the city of Rich

s. Sanxay and Annie L. Sanxay, his wife,
Mrs. Mary j. Wilkinson, VIM. d. Porter
and Mary e. Porter, his wife, and Robert
Penman and Mary e. Penman, his wife

The bill filed in the case states that plaintiffs
are the true and only surviving heirs at law
and next of kin to Solomon Haunstein, de-
ceased, late of this city and State, who died
intestate the said John, Andress, Henry and
Anna being the only surviving brothers and
sister of the said Solomon Haunstein, deceased,

OF deceased sister Louisa Kratteger, by her
husband Gottlieb Kratteger, the said Louisa
being formerly Haunsten, and sister of the
said Solomon Haunsteiu, deceased all of them
being now residents of Switzerland.
1t goes on to recite the facts of his death in
1869, the committal of his estate to Sanxay,
and the proceedings out of which grew the
prosecution Of Messrs. Chahoon and Sands.
In conclusion, they pray that may be de-
creed to be entitled to succeed to Solomon
Haunstein's estate, real and personal, by virtue
of the LIST and I'd clauses of article v, of the
