.BAzAINE. Marshal Bazaine, whose trial has
been in progress in France for the last three
months, was yesterday found guilty aud senten-
ced to death No traitorous act was proven
against him, but his judges were convinced
that when he surrendered at Metz, he had not
done everything that honor and duty required
before giving up his sword. The appeal for
mercy, which was presented to President Mac
Mahon by the Court which convicted Bazaine,
will probably be needed and his life be spared.

REDEMPTION OF TREASURY NOTES. -Sena-
tor Sherman yesterday reported resolution
from the Senate Committee on Finance virtu-
ally asking for instruction on the subject of the
propriety and expediency OF attempting at the
present time to redeem the promise given by
Congress, March Is, 1869, declaring that the
United States soemny pledged its faith to
make provision at the earliest practicable period
for the redemption of the United States notes
in COIN His resolution also proposes that
provision shall be made for currency of uni-
form value, redeemable in gold or its equiva-
lent, so adjusted as TO meet the changing wants
of trade add commerce Senator Bayard, of
Delawale, proposed a resolution somewhat diff
terent, but inteQded to reach substantially the
same result. Senator Ferry, of Michigan, ex-
pressed dissent from both propositions.
1t is now manifest that there is very strong
sentiment in both branches of Congress in favor
ola return to specie basis so soon as it can be
effected without too great shock to the bust
ness interests of the country. Any attempt, how
ever, to reach this result at very early period
will be vigorously opposed by Senators and
Representatives from the West and unless the
friends of such consummation can harmonic
their views this concentrated Western oppo-
sltion will probably be strong enough to post.
pone any decisive measures on the subject
The phraseofogy of Senator ShermaD's resolu.
tion indicates that he is still in favor of the plan
proposed by him at the last session of Congress-
tor the expansion and contraction of the volume
of the currency, according to the demands of
trade, at different periods of the year, Wosh

A HARD LoT.-There comes a rare beauty,
of the blonde type: Lydia Thompson might
well envy the lovely color of her hair, and the
fresh, creamy complexion. The stranger sup
poses that she is maiden just entering society,
with a train of admirers, and is astonished to
hear that she is an unhappy wife. Not yet
twenty-five, and yet has been loved, welded
and deserted. Once she reigned in Richmond
as peerless belle. Relatives opposed her mar
riage, and predicted all the misery that has
followed, from the we'll known dsspated hab-
its of her lover. She married and chung to the
worthless man, until drunkenness brought
them to the very depth of poverty, and then
disappeared. The treasury, which is sort of
government asylum, has received her; and she
is quietly sitting at desk writing but many
one passes the door hoping that chance open
ing may crafty their desire to gaze upon her
loveliness. : Wash Cor. Louisville JournaL

lNHUNAN TREATMENT Last night youth
about nineteen years Of age applied at the First
station house for lodgings and was taken in and
kindly cared for His condition showed that
he had been severely beaten, his nose being
disfgured, both eyes BACKED and blood shot,
and his legs and body bruised. Upon inquiry
it was ascertained that his name was Seth H
Ellsworth, seaman on the British brig Mag
della, and that he was indebted to the captain
of that brig, whose name is Fleming, aud his
crew for his present sad plight. He states that
he shipped aboard the brig at Liverpool for
Richmond; that during the voyage, notwth-
standing the fact he shipped 10 the capacity Of
seaman, as the articles Of agreement attest, his
wages were reduced, aud he transferred TO the
position of ships boy, aud made to do the most
laborious work with little food to eat; that he
was most cruelty and inhumaDly beaten by the
captain and crew without any provocation what
ever. A few days ago the brig arrived at City
Point, and on yesterday the captain ordered
Holnsworth to row him ashore While en-
gagged in this occupation the captain was seen
striking him with an oar by Captain Post, of
the steamer Sylvester, which fortunately lay at
the wharf.
As soon as the boat arrived with its two oc-
cupao,s Captain Post approached them, and
upon seeing the condition of the boy, immedi
ately swore out warrant for Fleming arrest,
which was served upon him by Magistrate
Stands. Captain Post then put the boy aboard
the Sylvester and brought him on to this city
last night
To-day Major Poe telegraphed to the author
tiles at City Point in relation to the matter,
and received reply that Captain Fleming was
in Jail and that the boy would be sent for this
afternoon But his condition is such (bcing
hardly able to stand on his feet) that he will
have to be sent to the hospital for treatment
before he will be in condition to go.
Such acts Of cruelty as this boy has under
gone: to which his wounds testify, are disgrace.
tul to the age 10 which we live. We hope Cap
tain Fleming,s crime will be dealt with to the
utmost penalty of the law. The British consul
has been telegraphed to by Fleming for coun-

TIE Cost OF A CONGRESSMAN DEATH.-
Washington letter line death of a memb Der
Is something of perqusite, custom having es-
tabshed the usage Of maintaining sort Of
professional mourning on the part OF the House,
something after the style OF the hired mourn
erS Of England aud Scotland. Ii member dies
at Washington, the Sergeant at. Arms may pay
the landlord OF his hotel 5 100 for having grant
ed the privilege Of a death IN his honse. Six
sta.wart men must then watch, With TWO re-
liets. by his bed during the period that the
body is in the custody Of the House. Better
for some of the dead that they had been more
closel y watched before they left the legislative
halls! Deputies must attend the body to its
destination In the State of the deceased, unless
the friends claim the right of burial 10 the
Congressional Buryiug Ground. Altogether,
and | have definite case in mind, it costs
about $4,000 to bury Congressman decently
who dies in Washington. The funeral expeu-
ses cost little more than the back pay for one
year Perhaps the back pay will serve as fune-
raj expenses for some.
