WASHINGTON,
virginians Opposed to Military Inter-
fereace-The Washington officials
Assured that Good Order Prevails
Troops not to be Used IL Possible.

WASHINGTON, D. G., June l3.-Judge
Harris called on the president this
morning to protest in the name of the
people against military interference in
Virginia, and to assure him that as
good order prevailed in Petersburg as
any city in the United states. The
president was absent. He proceeded
to the attorney general, where a copy
of the telegram published elsewhere
was furnished, giving the latest phase
Of the situation. Harris says no
troops will be sent to Petersburg.
The following order has been sent to
the United States marshal, at Peters
burg, by the attorney general;
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,
Washington, d. c., June ID, 1874. J
You are instructed to take the neces-
sary steps to protect the property of
the United States from injury and the
officers of the government in Peters
purg nom any violent interference
with them in their performance of
their official duty, and to that end, If
you think proper, you may summons a
posse of the citizens to aid you, but if
these men are found inadequate, you
will be furnished, upon call by you
upon me, with trops from Fortress
Monroe. 1t is desirable not to use
troops if possible.

the necessity Of the case, resorted to
this system, the most eminent leaders
of the party have always reprobated
the practice as subversive of the princi-
pies of true democracy, and as utterly
ut Variance with the freedom Of choice
and the independence Of the people.
1t, in effect, takes the election out Of
the hands of the people and transfers
1t to n few, who, by some good fortune,
or otherwise, have succeeded in getting
themselves thrust forward as the rep
resentatives of "the dear people,
Our position, then, is this, that while
the neutrality-suspicious. system was
always wrong and violative of the
rights Of the people, still it was some-
times rendered necessary for the cir
cumstances in which the democratic
party found ITSELF and was in those
cases excusahle, fnotright and proper.
And this brings us byck to the in
quiry with which we started out, that
is, is there any necessity for y eQnVap,
ton in the congressional district TO
nominate u candidate for congress?
We say unhesitatingly that there is no
such necessity. The democratic ma
jority Of the third district, as gathered
from the statistical information APP
pended TO the call for q convention IN
the HERALD, does not fall short of
twenty thousand, and if there were a
dozen democratic candidates in the
field there would not be the ghost of a
chance for radical to get elected.
That party died q hurried death when
1t lost the power of dishing out the
loaves and fishes of the state, and we
hardly think there is II man innorth-
ern Texas SO poor "a to do the cold
corpus any sort of respect.
We propose, therefore, that the field
be left open and that every democrat
who feels that he is called TO serve his
state In congress, be allowed to take
his place under the string, and let the
people by their votes in December
next, say who it is that they proclaim
AS the winner.

PARIS, June l3.--In the assembly to-
day the second reading OF the munich
pal bill was concluded.
NJ. Malleville, Of the left center,
asked the government to inform the
house what course II intended to pur-
sue toward the Bonapartlsts who ig-
nored or dehed the decisions of the
assembly.
NJ. Belmont, of the left center, called
attention to astatement inadvertently
by NJ. Fourton, minister Of the inte-
rior, relative TO the recent disturbances,
saying the statement implied that
the police and radical deputies were to
blame. The minister who made 1t
ought not to be retained In Office an
other moment. The government was
culpable in not removing him.
On the part of the left he pointed TO
the long immunity from the govern
ment interference, which the Bona
partist journal lie Pays had enjoyed,
and declared that Fourton was UNI
worthy of confidence. Mr.. Fourton
replied that he declined to retract any
thing he had said in the assembly, and
should await the result of the inquiry,
which had been ordered into the re-
Gent disturbances. In conclusion, he
assured the assembly that the minis
try were determined to make President
NIcMahon's authority respected.
NJ, Belmont moved a vote of CEN
sure against the ministry, which was
rejected by q vote Of three hundredand
seventy-seyen to three hundred and
twenty-siS.
About the time of the return of the
parliamentary train to Paris, this eve
ming, large nqmher Of people began
to assemble around the station, but the
crowd was soon dispersed by the po-
lice, and there was no disturbance Oh
the arrival Of the deputies,
The Bonapartists are very active,
especially in the barracks.
1t Is considered certain that ST. Croix
IN striking dambetta yesterday, acted
In accordance with prearranged plan
of the party leaders toprovoke duel.
Copies of the lie Pays were seized by
the police this evening as soon as they
we're issued.
The left center reported as still hope
full Of q union with portion of the
right center and the formation of a
ministry UNDER the Duke D. Aft

A Fine Improvement.

great effort has been made in the City
Council to manufacture political capital for
the Radical party over the cost of grading
and removing the rocks that formed the I'M
slightly and dangerous hill in Market street,

in the 9th ward: We do not deny that the
cost was considerable; but we do affirm that
the improvement is one of the best that has
been made on the streets in the city 1t re-
moved an unsightly hill that was wearing to
horse flesh and dangerous to life; and at the
same time gave the residents on the west
side Of the street an opportunity to make
their dwellings appear more elegant, spacious
