TERRIFYING THE PARIS BoURsE.-While
business was at its height yesterday after.
noon in the Paris Bourse, strange man in
the gallery drew attention by making ap-
parently aimless demonstrations. Suisse
quently, he took bottle containing an ex-
plosive liquid from his pocket, and cast it
down among the brokers upon the floor of
the exchange, crying ont as lie did so, 'Vive
anarchie !" The bottle struck no one, re-
manned intact, and made no episode. A
few spectators, who were interrupted in
their observations by the mans conduct
swore at hilh, and asked why the police did
not removehim. The man then drew out a
revolver, aid shot three times down to.
wards the main floor. He soon had the gal
lery to himself, and continued to brandish
his revolver and yell "Vive anarchie !"
Tremendous excitement reigned for awhile
in the exchange, and all business was sus-
pended. The prisoner absolutely refused to
give his name. He declares that he is an
anarchist, and that his intention is to fol-
low the mission of Furnishing capitalists for
living ny the sweat of the people,"
Investigation showed that the revolver
used by the prisoner was loaded with buHet
cartridges when he fired it of, and that one
of the bullets struck and slightly wounded
n man on the main floor.

after the passage of the Blair bill in so OBJ
jectionable form as to drive away from it

rather on the increase, and there is talk OF
some concerted public action by which the
President may be aware of that fact, as it is
understood he says he doesn't read the
newspapers, and as his only oral informants
are sycophants, he must be in utter igno-
rance of the true state of the feeling of his
party. 1t is reported that the nomination
for District Commissioner will be sent in

MR.. WADDILL, Mahoneite member OF

hundred dollars. He also says that the
present condition of the State treasury JUS
tiGes such a reduction, rs there orght to be
this year surplus of seven or eight hun
drcd thousand dollars. And yet this Same
Mr.. Waddil and, stranger still, nearly all
his democratic colleagues, insist that, with
all this surplus in her treasury, the State
of Virginia shall not pay the contract inter-
est OH her bonded debt. And, stranger than
all, the chief reason they assign for their at
tempted reputation of the State debt is
what they ignorantly or viciously term the
heavy burden imposed by the existing high
rate of taxation, when every wellinformed
man knows that the lowest State tax per
capita in any of the New England States is
twice as high as in Virginia, and that in T.
linos, Indiana and other Western States it
is three times as high.

RICHMOND. Va. March ). 1856


RICHMOND, Va, March 5, 1856.
There has been very little doing in either
branch to-day. The Senate killed time
while waiting for the engrossment Of some
bills, and the House spent some hours over
a bill to allow the Council of Richmond to
control a road in Henrico. 1t finally
passed.
Mr.. Shields, of Norfolk, claims that his
substitute for Stubs oyster bill will settle all
existing differences, and please everybody.
1t. Gov. Massey has been absent but very
little, and ha smade an excellent presiding
officer, while Speaker Stuart ended the ses-
sion with the good will Of political friend
and foe.
Tonight General Lee, Speaker Stuart
and few other noted guests will be enter.
tanned at Murphys by John Bell Bigger and
the House clerks.
The double funeral Of Mrs. and Miss
Sampson took place this evening, and was
largely attended. Mother and daughter
died from burns received last Wednesday.
The defeat of Fukerson's scrip bill and OF
Massey's debt commission leaves the debt
question very much where it was. No
great trouble is anticipated before another
extra session.
Many members will leave to-day, and it
is not believed that there will be a quorum
in either house tomorrow.
Not more than SIS Delegates and % Sena-
tors were in their seats to day.
