PARIS.
Thiers' Plan for Governing the city.

In1ers Flan IOr Governing the City.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
A Lombard telegram says that the Delegates repre-
senting the commerce OF Paris have issued the fol-
lowing report OF the extreme limit OF the concessions
which they ascertained M. Theirs was willing to
grant to the Paris population
1. Paris separated from its suburbs would be de-
clared not only Commune but special Depart
ment. q The Communal Council of Paris would
thus be converted into general departmental Coun-
Gil, and its powers considerably enlarged. g. The
National Guard would alone be entrusted with the
service in the interior OF the city; all battaons
without distinction would be reconstructed under
deposited in the arsenals and under the guardian
ship OF the battalions who would take them for the
requirements OF the service. a. The pay OF the Ma
t., tionai Guards Guard and subsidies to their
revived. 8. The regular army would not
enter Paris, but would occupy Professionally re-
tain possession OF the forts until the reorganization
of the army determined TO what category of the
national forces the guardianship OF tue fortress
should be intrusted, the reorganization taking place
on the principle OF the abolition OF conscrption and
that every citizen is soldier. g. AS an evidence
OF its disnterestedness and to show the loyalty of
the inspirations by which it is animated the actual
Commune would dissolve, and fresh elections be
held unoer the direction OF a provisional commits
sion chosen by vote from the Chamber OF Com
merce, Tribunal OF Commerce, the Trade Coun-
ellis, Industrial, Commercial, aRd Workmenis Syn-
Four councillors would he elected for each

chosen would be empowered to present bill for the

tendencies and requirements Of the city OF Paris

which the City Is placed Articles 191 and 1872 OF the
Penal Code would be abrogated and the rights of

THE TREATY RATIFIED.

All the Amendments Voted Down-Thc
Fishery Articles Sustained by a Vote of
Nearly Two to One.
A Washington despatch to the New York Tri-
bune says:-
The Treaty of Washington was ratified to-
night by q vote of 30 to IL, after a session of
more than eleven hours duration. The Senate
met at 10 A. M, and Immediately went into
executive session. 1t is known that Messrs.
Corbett, Kelly, Casserly, Thurman, and Nor
rill, of Vermont, made speeches in opposition
to its ratification without amendment. Mr.. Cas-
serly's position is already known.
The Oregon Senators opposed it on account of
the San Juan articles. Mr.. Morrill, took decided
exception to the fishery provisions, and Mr..
Thurman was earnest in his opposition on ac
count of what he deemed general unsatisfac-
tory settlement especially in the limitations to
which we submit by the new rules of neutral
law. Messrs. Cameron and Morton sustained
the treaty, and argued against all amendments.
The Democrats were in conference this morn
ing, and decided to vote for amendments, and,
a rule, to oppose ratification.
Five amendments were offered. three being by
Mr.. Sumner. One of these proposed a strength
ening of the second rule of arbitration in article
6 on the Alabama claims, which Mr. Sumner
thought too vague. The debate on this was
careful, and the vote on the motion to amend
was lost by only two majority. The rule he
sought to amend is as follows
Secondly, not to permit or suffer either belli-
gerent to make use of its ports, or waters, as
the base of naval operations against the other.
or for the purpose of the renewal or augmenta-
tion of military supplies, or arms, or the re-
crutment of men.
Mr.. Sumner offered other amendmints touch
ing the definition of neutral and belligerent
rights and duties but they were lost without a
call OF the yeas and nays. There was propo-
sition to strike out the articles relating to the
fisheries, but this was lost by vote of nearly
two to one; and there was an equally heavy
majority against an amendment of Mr.. Cor
belts, to strike out the provision for arbitra-
tion on the San Juan dispute.
Thus, at about II P. M, the treaty passed the
Senate exactly in the form in which it was re-
ceived from the President. Sixty-seven Sena-
tors have attended the extra session, and sixty
two were present when the final vote was taken.
The absentees included Messrs Morrill,, of VT,
and Blair who were paired. The Democrats
voted as body against ratification, with the
evident purpose of making party cry against
the treaty. The only Republican who acted
with them was General West of louisiana
whose course is said to have been dictated by a
desire to ingratiate himself with the Democracy.
The following list of the yeas and nays is
possibly incorrect in one or two names; but
can say this much positively that on the final
vote IL Democrats and / Republican put them
selves on record against ratification. There are
only ID Democrats in the Senate.

The Toronto papers publish kilograms from
many localities in Canada, showing that the
shock of earthquake soon after l o'clock on
Sunday morning last was widely felt, It textendlng

the country lying along the Siberian rivers is q
vast deposit of the remains OF ancient, pre-
historic animals, principally elephants, or be-
longing to that species, which were entombed
by some terrible and widespread convulsion.
They are found in the alluvial soil, and imbed-
ded in the ice of the Arctic regions, some
times with the flesh preserved to such de-
gree of perfection that dogs eagerly devonr it.
Our Alaska possessions are scarcely le rich
in these underground stores, including vast
amount of ivory, which have been found
along the larger streams of that section that
have, so far, been explored. The marshy
grounds bordering on the rivers is underla1d
with bones and tusks, and the latter can oe
seen sometimes sticking out Of the mud ike
the stumps OF sapplings. A comparatively
small portion of the ivory which is, al 'ne
present time in the market, is obtained from
the live animals, by far the greater quantity
being dug up by the Ivory hunters as tney
are called, in Alaska, Siberia and the Arctlc
regions; the product Of elephants that lived
and roamed there thousands of years ago.

We deduct the $3.50, 900 which is declared
to have been paid; but how are we to know
that the floating debt has not been increased
by an equal amount? The State owed its
Financial Agent, in May last, $500, 900. How
much does the State owe him now? The
only additions we make to the figures given
by Governor Scott are: () the difference be-
tween the true and the published amount OF
the debt due on the Fire Loan bonds, and ~
the amount OF the bonds of the Blue Ridge
Railroad guaranteed by the State. We do
not take into account the other contingent
railroad liabilities Of the State, amounting
(see Scotts reporD to S2,7l2, COS 20; be-
cause we hope that, as Governor Scott says,
"in the event OF any OF the above roads fail,
Sing to meet the interest on the guaranteed
"bonds the State is perfectly secure" Snt
the 81, 900, 900 of Blue Ridge bonds cannot
be included in this category, the State hav-
ing in their case little or no security. One
statement made by Governor Scott in regard
to the Blue Ridge bonds is particularly dis
ingenious. He says "none of the bonds
"bave yet been put on the market" This is
literally true. No Blue Ridge bonds have
been "put on the MARKET" but at least So
100, 600 OF the whole 81, 600, 900 are hypothe-
Gated to secure contracts made by the COM
pauy, or the money which it has borrowed.
The attempt to fasten upon preceding adj
ministrations the responsibility for sS, l62,-
440 OF the antire direct debt Of the State will
fail now as it has failed before. Governor
Scott reports, for instance, that $500, 600 OF
Bills Receivable, issued by the Provisional
Government, have been redeemed by the
present administration. We do not doubt
that half-a-million dollars was paid out in this
money; but the bills which were redeemed
we're issued by Governor SCOTS administra-
tion, or were redeemed thrice over Gov
ernor Orr in his message, presented to the
Legislature when the Scott administration
took office, says: "On the first day OF May,
lS6S, there was outstanding and in circula-
"tion of these bills receivable only Sl35, 6S7, "
and Governor Scott himself says, in his mes
sage, that the amount outstanding on May
l. 1868, was S22O, 900. How was the slS5, 6S7,
or the s22O, 900, copjured into $780,
Nor will the statement made OF the past due
interest, and other debts OF preceding ad-
ministrations, paid by the Scott admins
tration, bear the least examination. 1t
is rather cool, for example, to place upon the
convenient backs Of preceding administra-
tions the responsibility for interest on the
State debt up to July l, 1869, when it is an

We are glad to see that Governor Scott is
confident that the Legislature, at the next
session, will amend the election law so as to
close the door against fraud; ard if Gov
ernor Scott carries out, in good faith, the
promises which he made to the May Con-
vention, we shall be inclined 10 blot out oil
remembrance OF his ingenious report to the
Ku-Klux committee upon the financial con-
dition of the State.

iDdisputabie fact that the Scott administra-
ton came into power in May, 1868, fourteen
months before. But we are not disposed to
push the Scott fnanciers to the wall, nor 90
we desire to take gloomy view OF the situ-
alton. 1t is sufficient to know that the Radl-
cal government of South Carolina, in three
wears, have, in round numbers, doubled the
public debt Of the State.
Upon the subject Of taxation we have only
o few words to say. For ten years previous
to the war the average annual taxation was

The Debt and Financial Condition of
the State.

8ne great characteristic of the State debt
of South Carolina is that, although the sum
is solemnly declared to be constant, it is
never twice reported at the same amount
This eccentricity, to use no harsher word, is
unpleasantly conspicuous in the report SUBJ
mitted to the Ku-Klux committee by his Ex-
cellency Governor Scott.
Confning our attention to the last three
official, or qaasi-official, statements which
have been made, We obtain the following re-
suit:
October 3lst, 1870. Funded public
debt OF the State mot including
railroad endorsements) accord
ing to the official report of the
State Comptroller. General. -. 81, ,665, ,s0S IS
---
MAY, 1871. Funded public debt,
as reported officially to the Tax
PAYERS Convention. ......... IS, ,s65, ,9os 9s
| September, 1871. Funded public
debt ofthe State, as reported by
| Governor Scott. s., ,52e, ,564 10
The discrepancy between the amount re-
ported by the Comptroller in October, 1870,
and the amount reported by him to the Tax
payers Convention in the following May, is
accounted for by the omission from this Octo-
Der report of So, 2OO, 600 of State bonds, then
actually sold, or hypothecated to secure
loans to the State. For the difference be-
tween the Comptroller's May statement and
Governor Scotl's September statement, we
do not attempt to account. Nor would it be
worth while 10 do 80. The Comptroller
General will make another report next No.
vember, which, we suppose, will be as differ
ent from the preceding statements as they
are from each other. We fear, indeed, that
the State officials are more intent upon
patching up such debt-statement as will
bear scrutiny in Wall street, than upon
showing, in an unmistakable way, what is
the amount of the public mortgage upon the
property OF the people Of the State.
Assuming, for the sake OF argument, that
Governor Scott's September report is correct,
the debt Of the State is:
Amount Of bonded debt existing
prior to the war. r.............. A,046,540 l6
Amount of bonds issued by Pro-
vlsional Government. ......... l,o23,473 "a
Amount OF bonds issued by pres
ent administration. ........... 4,45s,55o 90
Debt according to Scott ...... 50. 52s,564 10
To this must be added:
l. The difference between the
true amount due on the fire
loan sterling bonds past due
and unpaid, s7ss,222 27, and
that stated in the Comptl 'ler-
Generals report, s4S4,44 SIS 3S3,777 76
2. Blue Ridge Railroad bonds. 1000, 900 90
sl3,9l2,341 sc
Less amount OF bonds paid at ma
turity. according to Governor
SCOTS report. ............... 100000 90
Total debt of the State ....... 3,662,2 24l sc
We deduct the $3.50, 900 which is declared
to have been paid; but how are we to know
that the floating debt has not been increased
by an equal amount? The State owed it's
Financial Agent, in May last, $500, 900. How
much does the State owe him now? The
only additions we make to the figures given
by Governor Scott are: Q) the difference be-
