The soldiers of the Garde Mobile are not to
be permitted at present to return to their
homes in the provinces, but continue as pris-
Oners in the capital. These terms are, to say
the least, humane, and will prevent much
suffering which would have uDayOdahy
followed further resistance or removal
of the capitulated garrison TO Germany.
The Germans are rot to occupy the city at
present, but they are already in possession of
the forts. The latter is doubtless a deep hui
initiation to the French soldiers and citizens.

There is no explanation OF The cause Of tie
terrible disaster on the Mississippi which We
record this morning, and by which more than
sixty lives were lost. The criminal careless
ness Of steamboat inspectors and the reck-
lessness Of their commanders and engineers
are, in too many instances, the primary causes
of like slaughters OF trusting passengers. The
lax discipline of Mississippi steamer would
h0rrify travellers accustomed only TO the boats
OF the Eastern rivers and sounds, while it is
notorious that the management OF these might
be greatly improved, and greater security at
tainrl.

Now that the War in France is virtually, if
not formally closed, it is high time for con-
certed effort TO mitigate the sufferings of its
surviving victims. Great Britain and other
European countries viii doubtless do molly )
but we, too, should promptly send several
cargoes of food to the furnishing millions of
French. In their best estate, the peasantry
and urban labOTers Of France have little sur
plus beyond the hours needs in their cOun-
try's present downfall and humiliation, they
have nothing. Hundreds of thousands must
perish of want unless saved by volun-
tary contributions Of bread and seed from
abroad. We venture to suggest a
prompt organization in this City for syste-
matte and vigorous effort TO bring the needs
OF the wounded, the sick, the hOuseless, the
foodless myriads home to every American
hearth. If the movement be properly inaugu-
rated here, almost every city and village in
our broad land viii generously respond to it,.
Bear in mind that moments are precious, and
that many must die of diseases induced
by want and exposure before any help can
reach them, and that European charity will
have been exhausted by the time our first con-
tributions can reach French port.

Tn VIRGINIA the Republican party was most
unwisely placed on proscriphve platform in
1860. They were badly defeated in consequence,

was carried by the Democrats in 1876, and all

THE CAPITULATON And ARMISTICE.

TIE CAPITULATTON md ARMISTICE.
Though long expected, too long delayed,
the official announcement of the surrender of
Paris still startles with the weight Of its
rnOmentous meaning to France and the world.
No other event of the generation, only one
other of the century, bore the military and
political significance which this possesses as
marking the conclusion of struggle which
changes the face Of all Europe. How greatly
TO be changed it yet remains to be seen, but we
rejoice already in the completeness OF the over
throw of the Empire which was the dread OF Eu-
nope, and in the restoration to Nationality and
power of that reunited race which has ever
been the greatest civilizng force of Europe.
These are attainments which render the war
not wholly an unmixed evil.

detailed in our dispatches, hut enough Is

ing from their first stringent demands, APP

A Swiss army has appeared on the frontier
TO guard it from the ravages of Bourbakfs
men, who, cut off from flight to Lyons by the
movement of Manteuflel, threaten to escape
across the border. Bourbal attempted to
commit suicide after his defeat before Belfort
and has been superseded, but the news OF the
armistice may reach his successor in time to
prevent the dispersal or capture of his army.
