PROF. AGASSIZ ALARMINGLY III.

THE MOST SERIOUS RESULTS FEARED-DANGER OF
TOTAL PARALYSIS OF THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUSR.l
Boston, Dec. 10-Prof. Agassns illness has be-
come much more serious and his friends now enter
tain the gravest fear as to the result. Paralysis
seems imminent, and his symptoms yesterday were
so decidedly dangerous that Dr. Brown-Sequard,
who had been summoned from New-York, expecting
to return Sunday night, felt constrained to delay
his departure and still remains at the bedside of his
also been in attendance, and watched with Prof.
Agassiz Monday and Tuesday nights. Both of these
gentlemen are inclined TO assume a professional
reticence, but they freely admit Prof Agas1zs
danger and have prepared his friends for the pos
sble issue of the disease When asked if the case was
alarming of the physicians replied that he feared
something worse than death The base of the brain
is seriously weakened. and paralysis Of the whole
muscular system is feared. The Professor is still
conscious and his intellectual faculties retain their
cearness. This evening his condition remains
about the same as last evening aifordng little hope
for a favorable termination. What his most mt
mate friends fear is that if death does not speedily
take place he may be doomed to a prolonged and
wretched existence as a hopeless paraly tic One Of
his immediate scientific associates expressed tins
fear to-day and said that he could far easier see
Agassz die than see him drag out such miserable
existence Prof. Agassiz at his museum, about
a quarter of a mile from his house, on Saturday
morning, and went to work in a room SO warm as to
create a profuse perspiTation. He was soon after
taken ill., and had TO be taken home by one OF his
assistants. From that time he grew rapidly worse
Dr. Brown-S6quard remains constantly at the Pro-
fessors house in Quincy-st, Cambridge, and all that
medical skill can do will be done. Prof. Agassizs
SON Alexander Agassiz. is also with him.

Committee on Finance, which met for the hrst time

resolution touching the currency was presented py
Mr.. Sherman, the Chairman. This resolution IL Is

and commerce. They therefore presented another.

MERCY SIGNED BY ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE
COURT.
VERSAILLES. Wednesday Dec. 10, 1879
NJ. Lachaud the counsel for Marshal Bazaine,
finished his address this morning. He declared
that as the Marshal did not surrender i'll the open
field he was gultless of violating Article 2l0 of the
Army Code. In his peroration he said: 81 deeply
sympathize with the valiant soldier overwhelmed
by terrible accusation. fear not death for him.
He is brave and fears nothing but the loss OF ms
honor for the sake of his wife and children teel
most for France. which will deplore the loss of
valorous soldier. Your Honors, patriotism forbids
that you condemn him. You know what political
trials are in the place where pOsterity has raised
statne to those executed after such trials
NJ Pourcet replied demanding that terrible
example ne made, as a lesson TO the rising genera
ton.
Before the judges withdrew Bazaine said: l
have two words in my breast, honor and country
have never been wanting toward this proud motto
that have not betrayed France"
After long deiberation the judges declared Ba-
zaine guilty Of the charges of the captulation of
Metz and of the army in the open field without
doing all that was prescribed by honor and duty to
avoid the surrenders, and unanimously condemned
him to death and to be degraded from his rank pre-
yious to his execution.
After Judgment had been rendered all the mem
bers of the court signed appeal for mercy, which
the Duke d'Aumale Immediately conveyed in person
to President MacMahon.
BazaIne was greatly agitated when he heard the
decision Of the Court
