TIE SUPREME COURT of the United States
decided one OF two points of the famous Texas
Indemnity Bonds case on Tuesday. The decision
that seemed to have been most satisfactory to
the distinguished members Of the bar present
was to the effect that lawyer has tue right to
keep his fees oot Of any amount of money he
may recover in suit, and If his client IL not
satisfied with the amount he keeps he can
bring suit to recover it. This is like throwing
good money after bad, or going into the river
to get out Of the rain.

better than they have done heretofore, and fur

about it, and will doubtless wake up the

MINISTER TREILHARD ON FRANOE.-The
views of viscount Treilhard. the French Min
lister, on the present condition Of France, as
expressed by him in recent interview with a
HERALD reporter, are given on another page
this morning. 1t will be seen that the Wis.,
count, who, it will be remembered, was APP
pointed By Louis Napoleon to succeed Paradol,
and whose credentials were afterwards con-
frmed by the republican government, is still
as hopeful of final success as the most ardent
rouge in France.

IMPENDING CAPITALIZATION or PARIS.
The special correspondent of the HERALD
In London telegraphs that the news has been
received In that city by the London Times that
proposals for the capitulation of Paris have been
opened at the headquarters Of King William.
Jules Favrc has left Paris and has arrived at
Versailles with proposals for the surrender Of
the capital. The conditions upon which he
desires to yield are that the Army Of
Paris be allowed to retire from the city with
all the honors Of war. i is scarcely
necessary to add that such propositions
were refused, aud that the only terms upon
which the German commander would consent
to agree to capitulation will be the uncon-
ditional surrender Of the French capital. The
German attack on st. Denis, the failure Of
the sorties of the 10th, the decentralization
of the French army and tho sufferings Of
the people have fastened this step on the
part Of the leaders within the walls of the be-
sieged city. For days past it was evident that
the end was approaching, and the Inevitable
step could not be much longer delayed. It
has come at last, if the newa. we have this
morning proves correct, and there is not the
slightest reason to doubt that 1t is.
Already we are told that a meeting has
taken place between Count Bismarck and
Jules Favre. The terms of Favre, we are in
formed, as to the conditions upon which Paris
is to yield, have been declined as inadmissable.
That Paris will have to surrender on such terms
as Bismarck will see fit to dictate there is not
the slightest doubt. Resistance Is out Of the
question, and the German statesman will have
it all his own way. The surrender of Paris
means the end of the war, so far as those in
Paris can influence it. There must be no
further resistance when Paris surrenders on
these conditions, and on these conditions only
will Bismarck make terms. Whatever Favre
may have to say, it is plain that Bismarck
has It In his power to dictate. We well know
the determination, persistency and tenacity
with which he adheres to policy when
once he has set his mind on It. The threat he
makes, that 10 case the terms he has to offer
are not accepted he will replace Napoleon
on the throne, bring back the Empress
and reestablish the Bonaparte dynasty,
shows that he is prepared to act, and in such
. manner as may possibly be not acceptable
to the French people. But what can they
do? There is nothing definite as yet regard
ing the interview, and 1t is thought that some
days will elapse ere conclusion can be
reached. -.

Mrs. MILLER, the notorious confidence
woman, was sent up by Recorder Hackett
yesterday for seven years and six months.
She pleaded guilty to the charge of larceny and
asked the clemency Of the Court only that she
might be enabled to settle up some matters In
the Surrogates Court Of Kings county in favor
of her son, a boy of fifteen. She seems to be
confirmed thief, and yet the mothers love
for that boy crops out on all occasions as the
one redeeming trait Of her reckless and unwo-
manly life

TIE TwoMBLY-CAREY CAsE.-Very ex-
citing rumors are current in Albany. It is
stated that two democratic members Of the
Assembly have been bribed to vote for Twom-
bly, against Carey, and that third has ex-
pressed an intention Of voting in accordance
with che evidence rather than with party re-
quirements. If these should prove to be facts
Mr.. Twombly has an exceedingly good chance
for his seat, and the democratic majority in
the Assembly, which is not much Of majority
at the best, has good chance Of becoming q

REDDY TIE BLACKSMITH has crowned his
ediflce Of crime with murder at last. The
rufian Haggerty, whom he shot in rowdy
brawl yesterday, died last night. Reddy has
swung round the edges of murder all his life;
but, we believe, no human soul has ever before
been sent to Its last account by him. The brawl
appears to have had an old feud at the bottom
OF it, and there seems to be no doubt that
Haggerty was the aggressor. Rcddy has sur
rendered himself to the authorities, and, con-
size. ing that he Is an old fox who knows the

A HALL OF RELIos.-We learn that the
Board Of Public Parks have had laid before
them proposition to establish Hall of
Relies in the Central Park. The design is to
collect and preserve specimens of all such his
tories, records, maps, manuscripts, papers,
pictures, arms, acooutrements, costumes,
utensils, furniture and other relics marking
the rise and progress Of the city Of New York
as shall serve to illustrate Its history and per-
petuate the memories of its earliest days.
This is very good, indeed, q grand, idea.
We have Historical Society, 1t is true; but we
see in the measure proposed something that
the present generation has long needed
namely, museum, affording familiar house,
hold and general history of the early days of
the metropolis Of the nation. The Board of
Public Parks will be doing public good by
giving the matter an early and earnest con-
alteration,

Our City Markets-A Coed Movement .
Long leland.

Our City Marhets-A Coed Movement on
Long leland.
The terribly deficient accommodation Of our
metropolitan markets has long been source
Of complaint on the part Of citizens and traders
alike; but the outcry that has been raised on
the subject from time to time for years past
has seemed of little avail--a mere voice with
out an echo In regions where the response
should be immediate and decisive.
At length, however, the farmers of Long
Island, the great market garden of our
metropolis, have taken up the theme with
determined vigor. To-day they convene in
force at Jamaica, Queens county, to discuss
the whole question and to adopt such measures
as may tend to secure relief, not merely for
the agricultural producer, so long taxed and
burdensd by delay, but for the city consumer,
whose garden stuff and other commodities are
greatly deteriorated in quality and enhanced
in price by the wretched lack of space and
facility which renders our markets disgrace
to civilization. Moreover, the oppressive
system Of needless extortion resulting from
the present practices of middlemen-a nuisance
against which the New York public has been
protesting for twenty years-will come under
review and exposure.
Great credit Is due to the originators Of this
energetic movement; and 1t is to be hoped
that the convention will ''lay on and spare
not" in their efforts to ventilate the corrup :
tons now existing, and to obtain for our
swiftly increasing population some rescue
from double prices, endless prevarication and
delay, and the constant presence of impending
epidemics 10 the shape of stale fruit and wilted
vegetables.

Gratis in Berlin don't approve Of Count Bis

Conference, nor the unceremonious manner in

odr special telegram from Berlin through the

go out. "If you want to talk TO me," said he, ego

Lying there on the bed, he presented horri-
BILE appearance. All his flesh had been con-
sumed by the vital organs to sustain life, and
the skin clung tight to the bones. The Sunday
before he died he was immersed in Spafford

more kind to him than he was to himself.

OBITUARY.
General Ebenezer Dumont.

General Ebenezer DumOnt.
A despatch from indianapolis announces the
death in that city yesterday of General Ebenezer
Dumont, who figured quite conspicuously in the
earlier stages of the war for the Union. General
Dumont was born at Vevay, Switzerland county,
Indiana, on November 23 1914; and, after
attending the University at Bloom
ington, studied law and was admitted
to the bar. After serving in the State Legisla-
ture and as Treasurer of his county, he ac-
quired considerable distinction in the Mexican
war, in which he served as a Northumberland,
participating in several battles. Subsequently
he again served in the State Legislature, and
for nine years was President of the State Bank
of Indiana. On the outbreak of the Rebellion
hel was appointed colonel of the
7th Indiana Volunteers, and soon after
took part in the battle of Phihppi,
in West Virginia At the battle of Murfrees-
boro he commanded brigade, and after the
battle was assigned to the command of the
troops at Nashville, from which place he led an
expedition against John Morgan, capturing
nearly the whole of the Rebel command. While
still in the field, he was, in 1862 elected Repre-
sentative in Congress from Indiana, being re-
elected in 1864. He was recently appointed by
the President to the Governorship of Idaho
Territory, but had not assumed the duties of his
new position at the time of his death.

A TERRIFIC ORGAN.
Boston and Beecher Laid Low

Boston and Beecher Laid Low.
London writer to the N. Y. World thus
describes prominent feature in the new Royal
Albert Hall:-
The organ is of dimensions calculated to in
fuse despair into the bosom of Boston and to
strike NJ. Beecher dumb with envy. 1t is 60
feet wide and 20 feet in height. It contains
5000 pipes, 125 stops, 80 couplers and claviers,
and some among its pipes are the largest ever
constructed. They are 40 feet in length, 2 feet
in diameter, and are composed of an alloy of
nine parts of tin with one part of lead. 1t has
four manuals, extending from &C to Q in altls-
sino, and one pedal from CCC to G. The pedal
organ consists of 81 stops, the first manual cla-
vier or choir organ including the echo organ,
comprising 20 stops, all the pipes in which are
of metal. The second clavier, or great organ,
contains 25 stops, only two of which have
wooden pipes in the bass notes. The third cla-
vieT or swell organ, comprises 25 stops, and
these are all, with the exception of the basses
of two stops, of metal. The fourth clavier or
solo organ, has 20 stops, making in all Ill stops
then there are IA coupiers and 80 combinations.
The pipes range from 80 inches in diameter
down to the size of the smallest straw and from
40 feet in length down to inches. The motive
power for this wonderful instrument is obtained
from two steam engines situated in the basement
adjoining the bellows chamber. The engines
were both specially designed for the purpose.
The one is vertical beam engine, of about To-
horse power, for supplying compressed or at
tenuated air. at pressure of IL pounds per
square inch above or below dhe pressure of the
atmosphere for working the pneumatic valves.
The other is pair of 1S-horse power horizontal,
non-copdensing engines, driving three-throw
crank shaft to work the six pairs of bellows or
feeders" Three pairs each of these feeders
supply the wind at pressure of Q or. per square
inch above and below the atmosphere.

Republican Senatorial Caucus.
WASHINGTON, April ia caucus meeting of
Republican Senators was held at IL o'clock this
morning to consider Senator Robertson's propo-
sition, that the order of business be 30 amended
as to permit action to be taken this session upon
the House General Amnesty bill.
The discussion which was conducted under
the fve-minute rule, was opened by Mr.. Ro-
bertson in advocacy of the propriety, justice,
and expediency of enactiDg a law for general
amnesty at as early day as possible. Senators
Sawyer Sherman, Lewis, Buckingham, Logan,
and Wilson also supported the proposition for
immediate and favorable action on the subject.
Senators Chandler, Morton, Scott and Edmunds
opposed the movement for general amnesty at
this time, arguing that it was inexpedient, un-
wise, and uncalled for.
Finally, after session of nearly an hour, on
motion of Mr. Rice the proposition of Mr..
Robertson was laid on the table by vote of
twenty against sixteen, thus defeating the
measure this session.

The Tribune has also the following first-class
editorial notice of Mr.. Winans:-
1t is probable that the darkest hour in the life
of woman is when she wakes on the morning
after the loss of her honor, and feels how empty
is the future and how pitiful is the price of her
infamy. The past, with its possibilities of
honest life, self-respect, and the
esteem of others, is gone for
ever. Nothing is left but mere living on the
wages of shame, which stick to the fingers and
burn them like boiling pitch. A leper, when he
first discovers the fatal whitening of his skin, is
not more lonely. Into this moral prison-house
Orange 8. Winans entered on Saturday He
may try to brazen out his foul misfortune, but
he cannot conceal from himself his sense of the
permanent worthlessness of his life he has
stained and polluted. In all the almshouses and
penitentiaries of the State there exists to-day
no creature so needing, but beyond, the pity of
charitable hearts.
