Unprincipled men are endeayoring, in diff

Mr.. Chas. III. Weeks of this city, in pass
ing down the little court near the head of
Green street, the other morning after the
snowfall dropped his pocket book contain
ing $500 bill and several bills of smaller
denominations. He supposed he had put the
wallet into his inside vest pocket, but prob
ably made a mistake and simply put it inside
his vest. He did not miss it, and went to his
usual avocation in the fish market of Cush-
ing & Weeks. During the forenoon Mr..
Rufus Vivian, who lives in the court above
mentioned, made his appearance ut the shop,
remarking to Mr.. Weeks that he had come in
to pay his fish bill, and produced the pocket
book, commencing to open it. Weeks re-
marked that it looked exactly like ms pocket
book, and felt in his pocket for it to compare
them, but turned pale suddenly TO find that it
was not there. Mr.. Vivian then explained
that in coming out from his house the yalet
attracted his attention lying on the sidewalk
He opened it aud found that it bore the name
of Mr.. Weeks, and contained the amount Of
money above mentioned, and he had come to
return it to its rightful owner. Such cases of
honesty deserve special mention.

THE SURRENDER OF PARIS.
The News Fully Confirmed.
PROBABLE RESTORATION OF THE BoNAPARTE
DYNASTY.

Ne,o York, Jan. ga special to the
New York Evening Telegram, from Lon
don, of this date, says:
The evening journals of this city con-
firm the dispatches published by the morn
ing press, relative to the surrender of Paris.
The surrender was on the terms suggested
by Bismarcd, and is approved here by the
press unanimously. The committee of
defence had instructed Favre to make the
best terms he could, but to bring the con.
fict to close in any case.
It is stated in official circles, that q gem
eral agreement is at hand SO far as the
surrender of Paris is concerned.
The Imperialists are active, and the
English government is known to favor the
restoration of the Bonaparte dynasty, under
a regency.
Addresses, approved by influential citi-
zens, approving the termination of the up-
paralleled war, have been allowed to be
issued to the people from Paris.
The Echo speaks authoritatively on the
question of the surrender, and states that
a foreign Office messenger, who arrived
from Versailles, has brough! the articles OF
surrender, signed by Favre and Bismarck.

United States Circuit Court. - In this
court yesterday, the case Of Katie Cummings
against the Orange and Alexandria railroad
company for having elected her from fiIsts
class car of that railroad at Alexandria, she
having frst-class ticket, was being heard.
She lays her damages at 81 800.
The plaintiff in this suit is very Intelligent
and respectable colored woman, and IL appears
from her testimony that she was engaged by q
benevolent society in New York city to 60 to
Abingdon az a school teacher that she p1r-
chased in New York frst-class ticket to
Lynchburg, Va; she travelled frst-cliss
passenger without interruption until after she
had passed Washington, and was between that
city and Alexandria, when the conductor told
her that she must get out of that coach. She
refused to go, and he then told her If she did
not he would have her arrested when the cars
reached Alexandria; she still refusing to move,
on reaching Alexandria the conductor came
into the car with large burly man, whom
she took to be policeman.
She was then forcibly, and with considerable
violence. moved from the ladies' car, in which
she was seated, and put in car occupied by
men, who were using most profane and inde-
cent language, and the smoke from their cigars
and pipes was so dense and suffocating as to
compel them to raise the windows in order to
breathe more freely. The day being very cold,
she suffered much from the exposure. She com
plained that. in being moved forcibly from one
car to another, she was considerably bruised.
The case is still pending.

The Condition of the South.

TO the Editor of the Washington Chronicle
Your suggestion in to-day's paper, that
"the special committee to investigate the
condition of affairs in the South should
summon before them one or more leading
editors from each State, both Democratic
and Republican" is good one, and if car
ried out and the summons con6ned to those
who have not become bitter partisans and
lost to all sense of discreetness. much more
real satisfactory evidence can be obtained
from two Or three of these gentlemen than
could possibly be adduced by the evidence
of almost any score of other persons that
can be named. But it seems to me the
committee cannot arrive at satisfactory re-
suits as to the real or imaginary evils of
society 10 the South by sitting here and
sending for persons and papers.
A knowledge of the condition of the
people with respect to the outrages COM
mitted--of which the whole country is
heartily sick and tired--the facilities for
redress by the civil tribunals, aud the
remedy to be applied can only be had by
going into the States and communities
where the alleged outrages have been most
frequent. Economy should suggest the
propriety of this course to the committee.
| The North Carolina Legislature is now in
session, and the members thereof, repre-
senting every county 10 the State, would
be able to render to the committee more
reliable information in three or four days
than it could obtain here in so many
months.
1t does Lot require an editor to explain
why the Republican papers in the South
are not self-sustaining. Generally speak
ing there was no Republican party in the
South before the war. The wealth and in.
telligeuce went into the rebellion, and the
numbers who have joined the Republican
ranks slice the war among the white popu'
lation, to say nothing of the colored, are
not the most wealthy, and hence can no
so well sustain newspapers, if they would
as the Democratic population. | think
Mr.. Hoar's most excellent educational bill
would contribute largely toward making
better citizens and better communities
which deem equivalent to saying that
would strengthen the Republican party a
we'll as encourage and sustain Republican
papers.
Respectfully, II. H. HELPER.

The bill to amend the charter of the

Mr.. McCaull offered the following pre-
amble and, resolution:
Whereas, it is represented that the president
and directors of the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac railroad company have managed
and controlled said company in the interest OF
the rival line from Weldon to Portsmouth, and
not in the interest of their stockholders and oil
the community through which their road runs,
and have thereby sacrificed the interests OF the
State, and of majority of the private stock
holders, to the interests of few persons who
own stock in both roads; therefore, be It
| Resolved, That the committee on roads, &c;,,
| be instructed to procure from P. Y. Daniel,
| Jr.. President of the Richmond, Fredericks'
| burg and Potomac railroad, and from John NJ
| Robinson, President of the Seaboard and Ro'

RAILROAD NEGOTIATIONS ON A GRAND
SCALE. 1t is stated that the negotiations
between the Pennsylvania Central and
the New Jersey Companies, for the lease
of the New Jersey roads, are proceeding
as rapidly as could be expected in SO large
an operation. The Pennsylvania Central
offered for the Camden and Amboy and
New Jersey roads, aud other property be-
longing to the united companies of New
Jersey, rental of ten per cent. per annum
on the stock, clear, for 900 years. This is
what was paid by the Pennsylvania Cen
trail to the Chicago and Fort Wayne,
an operation on which the lessees made last
year one million of dollars over rent
and expenses If this lease is effected,
and Pennsylvania capitalists also obtain
the privilege of constructing road from
Alexandria to Richmond, and effect the
lease of the Union Pacific, as it is said the
Pennsylvania Central now proposes, we
shall have giant corporation extending
from New York to Philadelphia, to Wash
ngton, to Richmond, and eventually to
Mobile and New Orleans, while in the
West it will extend from New York to
Chicago, to San Francisco, with lateral
branches to st. Louis, aud from there into
the heart OF Texas.

MRs. j. FL. PLArT's RECEPTION. The
Washington Chronicle, in its report of
Tuesdays receptions in that city, refers to
that of Mrs. ]. Fl. Platt, wife of the Rep
resentative from the Petersburg district, as
follows:
Mrs. J. H. Platt, Jr., received many friends
in her usual graceful and ladylike style, ana
did not send them away without inviting them
to partake of the good things of liie Her
attire was splendid, and her magnificent dresa
of light brown gros grain silk, imperial train,
trimmed with heavy folds of rich brown velvet
and costly white lace, set off her fine figure to
great advantage her jewels were OF rich coral
and heavy plain gold.
The Chroniclc has lady reporter to
"do up" receptions, and we think it a
good idea. They know all about it and
can give some interest to the details. We
have always thought men as much out Of
place as reporters OF balls, parties, we'd
dipgs and receptions, as they would be IL
a milliner shop. Every irst-class journa
should have millinery reporter. We in
| tend to secure the services of one at oul
| earliest convenience.

A WIRES DEvoTIoN.-At the opening
of the general sessions in New York, last
week, Minnie Lee, who few days ago
pleaded guilty Of carrying into the 'rombs
prison implements for helping her husband
to escape from that prison, was put for
ward, and the Judge addressed her as fol-
lows
You have pleaded guilty of an attempt
to violate the law. There are many mltl-
eating circumstances in your case. be-
lieve you to be young aud devoted wife,
but most unfortunately married to a
man now confined in the Tombs on a
charge of burglary. When you entered
the prison door and undertook to aid your
husband to escape, l do not think you
acted from the promptings of wicked
and depraved nature. While | cannot for
moment countenance the offence OF aid
ing prisoner to escape, still | feel it to be
my duty, considering your youth, respeeta-
bility and previous good character, to post
pone Judgment in your case. You may
go.
