THE BAZAINE CASE.

PARIS, Dec. 12.-The decision of
President McNIahon In the case OF Ba-
zaine is announced this morning. The
sentence of the death against the Mar
shall is committed to twenty years &C.
clusion. He is to bear the effect Of a
degradation of rank, but will be SPAR
ed the humiliating ceremony. ,ass
Marshal Bazaine addressed a letter to
his counsel, thanking them for their
efforts in his behalf, and concluding as
follows: 81 shall not appeal against
the sentence, not wishing to prolong in
the eyes of the world the spectacle of
such a painful struggle. / request you
to take no furthes steps. / look no
longer to men for Judgment. Strong
in my conscience, which reproaches me
with nothing, am confident that JUS
tiffcation will come with the lapse of
time and the subsistence Of party pas
sion." Pr.
Baziane, after receiving notice OF the
communication of sentence, wrote let
ter to Mcmahon, in which he says:
"You remember the days In which we
served the country together. I felt
that the impulse of your heart would
DO overmastered by State considera-
tions. 1 should have died without re-
gret, since the recommendation Of the
court for mercy vindicates my honor"
Bazaine's counsel, In a letter to Theirs,
thanks him for having expressed his
opinion that the Marshal was innocent
OF the charges upon which he was tried.
The Island of Saint Ma, Off Cannes, is
the place designated for Baxaine's con-
tinenemt. He will be sent there this
week. The Marshal received tho news
OF tho communication of his sentence

Don Platt, writing up the organiza-
ton of the House, thus speaks of Hon.
Alexander II. Stephens:
This gentleman had ccntcred upon
him the eyes Of the multitude bunked
up in tho galleries above. He sat on
one of the front seats, near the Speaker,
with Il slouchcd hat over his secesh
coun tcnancc, and the hat seemed u huge
extinguisher on a very slender, limp
candle. 1t twas oddto see one of the great
leaders OF the late Confcdcracy occupy
ing place under the flag Of our Union
in the Cave Of the Winds. JEFF. Davis
temperance in the Senate would not
create a moro profound sensation. And
such Il slender, ghostly looking man.
He seemed the ghost of the South re-
turning to haunt the place where so
lately it lorded over all. Our mind
went back to the day when this man,
with his shrii1 voice, was master, and
every word he uttered carried with it a
volume of fear. The master then is the
ghost of tho now.
lie was kindly helped to his scat
among scalawags, carpet-baggers, and
negroes, and his present associates not
only thronged about him to secure tho
honor ola recognition, but by vote unan-
im0usly permitted him to select his seat
without being subjected to tho unccr-
tainty ofthc lottery.

THE OLD TEXAS REPUBLIC.

[From the Texas Commonwealth
Few persons are aware OF the magni-
tude of tho Texas domain, or the true
boundary lines of the old Texas Repub-
lie. For the benefit of our readers we
give the boundary of Texas, with the
distances of each of the lines in miles
Beginning at the mouth OF tho Rio
Grande, running eastward to the
mouth of the Sabine River to tho SD
parallel of latitude, 800 miles up tho
Sabine to Red River duo north, JOG
miles; from thence on Red River to
tho 1o6th degree of longitude west, go
miles on said meridian direct to tho
Arkansas River, 25O miles; along said
river to the source of the Rio Grande.
thence from the source Of tho Rio
Grandc to it's mouth. The entire length,
of the eastern boundary limo is 1916
miles and the entire length OF the
boundary of Texas is 1910 miles, or
about twice tho distance across tho At
lantic.

THE FInsr BAR-TENDTR,

The first bartender of whom we
have any authentic account was
Hebe. Miss II. appears to have
been a pretty young lady, not much
given to over-dressing. Indeed, in
those prints we have Of her, il looks
as if she had lost her wardrobe by q
fire: and it Is certain that she should
have been ashamed Of herself. We
never knew her personally, and there
fore can only write from hearsay.
Jupiter was q heavy customer, always
got drunk at Hebe's place, and
sometimes run q big account, Juno
spent great many drachm@ there
also, and Bacchus used to board in
the establishment. Hebe had no
license, and was finally suppressed.

THE GRANDEST DISCOVERY OF

This is truly an age of progress Dis

make the thread bare statcmcn, that we
are living in wonderfully progressive age
living. breathing reality AS newspa-
per, We strife TO keep pace with the on
ward march Of events. and chronicle, from
day to day, each new invention and dis
covcry, while they are yet new and fresh.
Discoveries are not confined solely to the
world of science, art, matter, etc, hut
philosophic minds, by deep study, thought
and reflection, sometimes eliminate wonder
full principles and truths that at first.
startle the world by their brilliancy and
importance, and then excite n feeling of
surprise that truths, SO vital to the exist
ence of free people, and principles SO
wide spread and all diffusing in their DOS
sible results, should have been SO long
overlooked. With pardonable pride that
the discovery, and the announcement
thereof, should have been made in Rut
land, and with, perhaps, trific of lingcr-
ing jealousy that our contemporary got
the start of us, we propose to do our
share in spreading the glad tidings. 1t was
stated, Saturday morning, not in The
GLOBE, however, and we will quote the
sentence, entire and ungarbled, talcizing
a portion thereof, so that the grandeur,
hrilliaurv onJ ;pNort,,co ,,f ,I,o ,J;.o.,,o..,

call it, can be seen at glance. Here il

one To the shame of civilization and OF
the nineteenth century, all of our states
men, scholars, philanthropists, philosophers
and teachers have been cropping on in gross
darkness, waiting for the man of the houl
such man as every great and important
crisis always produces-to make the dis
covcry and, with suitable words proclaim
the same, that one man twill accomplish
more work than another who does no
accomplish near as much" We hail thu
benefactor of mankind and bid him Go,

of Rutland that the discoverer lives ant
labors in our midst. Friend and benefac
tor of mankind hail, but, we trust not
