The news feom Europe, though not Of
fetal is positive that peace between
France and Germany is certain. The
treaty Of peace imposes the follow ing
conditions:
The cession of A lsace srd Metz, but
Bel'ort is to be restored to France. the
payment of five millards of Francs by
France equal to 81, 600, 900, O0O) por-
ton of French territory with sosae foyti-
fed town, like Sedan, to remain in pos
session of the Germans until the condi-
tions ofthe treaty are fulfilled; and the
German army to enter Paris on Monday
and occupy tie Champ Ulysses. Lastly
peace is.to be proclaimed When the French
Assembly ratify these conditions While
the result of the war is not as many of US
would have desired, yet we can rejoice
that peace has put an end to the useless
sacrifice Of human lives.
A late dispatch states that the Eng
fish Government has persuaded Che Ger
mans to aaandon their march through
Paris and-that the troops will only pass
through tie open space on the south
side of the city.

DEATH OF GENERAL ARNOLD ELzEY. -
The announc4 nIent of the death of Gen.
Arnold Elzey, which occurred in this
city last evening, at the residence Of DR..
I. Donaldson, on Park street, will be
received with widespread regret. Gen.
Blzey was graduate of West Point, and
an officer of the United States army, who
in the Florida campaigns and the Mexi-
can war was distinguished for gallantry
and good conduct. AT the commeD ce-
ment of the late war between the Sec
tons, General Elzey. who was a native
of Maryland, resigned his commission,
which was that of a captain of artillery,
and entered the Confederate service. He
was appointed to the command Of the
first regiment, attached to the brigade
of Kirby Smith, and shared conspicuous
ly in the brilliant charge which decided
the fate OF the first Manassas or battle OF
Bull Run Having been Wounded in
this battle, Col. Eizey was subsequently,
promoted to the rank of brigadier and
major general. After tie battle of Seven
Pines where he was again dangerously
wounded, he was assigned to the COM
mand Of the de partment of Henri leo, and
the defeuces ofsthe city of Richmond
AT the close of the war be was chief of
the artillery of the army of Tennessee,
under General Hood. Since his return
to Mary land General Elzey has been w.

LEG .sLAToRs PLAYING TRuANr AN

LEG .sLAToRs PLAYING TRUANT AND
CAUGHT IN THE AcT.--A rare scene was
enacted in the Hall of the House of Dele
gates on Saturday soon after the success
of the great railroad bill, which for weeks
has been the all-absorbing topic of inter-
est, both inside and outside the legislative
halls. Pending the consideration of the
Oyster tax bill, which came up immed-
lately after the conclusion of the railroad
war; it was ascertained that there was no
quorum present whcreupon cali of The
roll of the House was ordered This dis
closed the fact that only 81 members out
of 1873 were present. The names of the
absentees were then called, their friends
being allowed to offer excuses, if they had
any, for their absence In number of
eases members were not present owing to
absence on leaves others were excused on
account of explanations made by some of
the lucky ones who had not been caught
absent from the post Of duty, but major
ity failing to answer, and no excuses be-
ing made, were marked The excuses
offered in some cases were really anus
ing.
One member endeavored to screen his
friend by putting in plea of sudden
illness another said the delegates from
Roanoke, Halifax and Caroline, were SO
overcome and jubilent by the success of
their pet bill, that they had been compell-
ed to leave the Hall; again, members
tried to excuse several others, among
them the members from Bedford, Craig
Hanover and Frederick, by stating that
the same thing which had made others SO
jubilant, had completely knocked the
pins from under them, and that they
were doubtless, at that time. receiving
medical attention and Sttn,utants. An
other excuse was, that the member from
WAS always seriously affected BY
oysters after railroad journey. A friend
of the delegate from, who was among
the absentees, stated, that be had gone
to Ford's to see Rye. This was ruled
out of order, as the treasury department
was not in that direction. and consequent
ly if the member had gone to Ford's, ii
was to see another man, and not Rye.
More excuses will doubtless be made this
morning, when the abSentees are brought
to the bar Of the House by the Sergeant
at arms.-Richneond Enquirer.

san Domingo-TroubIe Ahead.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 22.-Two uaoffioia
letters have been received here from mem
bers of the San Domingo commission
which indicate very clearly the political
situation there, and show the prime ipa.
difficulty in the way of the annexation of
the island to the United States. SO far
as the commission have yet been able to
learn, the views of the people are generally
favorable to annexation, but the Haytien
end Of the island is unAlterably opposed
to any such step. In fact, to such m
extent does this opposition run that it is
beliged that Hayti is actually supporting
Cabral, the revolutionary leader THIS
is substantially the view Mr. Summer
took, and as it seems to be correct there
can hardly be any doubt that if we annex
San Domingo accept with it a war with
Hayti, Whether this country is prepared
for .ap expense ofthat nature. after paying
for one portion ofthe island, remains to
be seen when the question comes officially
before Congress.

AN 0rrRAGE.-Some nights ago, a
parry of men went to the house Of an old
niau named Bowen, living uu Tue mouu-

numerically with hickory rods. They
then turned lis wife and children out OF

en- himself included, before them over
the top Of the nUuntain Oh Tue Port Re
public road, giving them notice that If
they returned tbcy would kill them all.
The night was very bad one, but the
whole family we're driven out without be-
ing allowed time to put on their clothes
The matter was investigated before Justice
Wood and warrants issued for the arrest
of the parties. 1t is we'll that Bowen had
served through the war as a Confederate
soldier, or this occufance would be bruit
