Excitlig Scene in a Paris Theatre,
Mr. Halstead writes to his paper
from Paris ;
"'he stood in the centre of the t
age ; on either side was a soldier
%.ith a beautiful flag of Franee, no.
tonable for the intensity of the cot
re ; and the girls of the theatre, all -
ina rod, white and blue, some distin.
i-hod by a prepondorance of one 1
color and of another, was grouped
with striking effect. As the curtain
ascended, revealing this tableau, there
was a gnick hum of approval, and
then as the first words of the hymn of
liberty, become the war song of the
impire, were heard there was a sud
den hush, and every eye in the audi
cuce glittered with excitement.
A bugler sounding the advance
started the chorus, and there was the
powor of many voices in it. At the
c,upletion of the stanza there was an
overwhelming burst of applause. The
Goddess of Liberty, in the last stan
za, knelt with a tri-color and embrac
od it, the whole audience rising; and
when the silver thrill of the bugle
sounded the solemn "march on," 1
thousande of voices took it up pas
Rioiately, and the "liberty of death"
was sung as if by a tewpest. This
was repeated three times, the rapture
of the multitude increasing with each
repotition, women weeping as they
sang. and the nen standing pale and
tearful. ''hu the applause exceeded
in fervor all that I had imagined poe
sible to even French excitability.
There was.a universal and unoontrol
lable frenzy. And every night such
scones are witnessed in nearly all the
theatres and gardens of the city."

Wnshington corrosp 2n.- ot. of the N.
Y. Icrul( writes to tuat parr.r it' h.i
Iows, under dato tr the 10th inst.:
It is underatuod that Attorney
General Aokerman will address the
Southern Republicans row in this city
on Friday or Saturday next, on the
duty of the hour. lie will take a
bold conservative view of the situa
tion, not calculated to afford much
comfort to a ceitain class of Southern
Radicals, whose conduct has been
guided more by selfih motives than
the welfare of their country. Mr.
Akerman holds that the South still
badly nods Reconstruotion, but that
it is the fault of the politioiua in
that section, that they are not yet in
the full possession of all their rights.
The leaders in the South, or some of
them who have mnun..ged to obtain
controlling influence, have become lit.
tle better than lobbyists and sacrificed
the interests of the country to jobbing
and corruption. In some States he
believes the lowest class of political
shysters have been chosen to legisla I
tive and other important positions.
All this ho believes must lie reformed
if the Southorn people wish to be re
instated wit': rull power, the same as
the loyal States of the North. Mr.
Aclkerman's views on this quostion and
abo in relation to the Georgia mud
dle are highly spoken of.
The right of a Japanese noble to
dlisemibowel himaajlf whenever his
rank or his honor is impugned, has
been choer fully exercised for centuries
in that delightful country of pretty
girls and pa'Aer mache. But recent
ly the insidious progress of reform
hrought the privilege of rudely dis
turbing one's entrails to the notice of
the national parliament, where an
animated debate reveailed the utmost
solieitation for har-kari, and supreme
eQntemlpt for the integrity of the
stomach. By its friend s, tire prae
tice was upheld as dignified, as an or
nament to the Elmpirc, a pillar of
religion and a spur to virtue; by its
opponents as unnecessary, unseru pu
bos and uncomfortable. Finally,
after Messrs. rAensaburo, Tomninaga,
Shiume, Akaugishi, lliorb, Hliarayma,
Shryemon, anu' other fluent and patri
otic gmntlemeon of bluest Japanese
blood, had delivered themselves, and
foteibly pretested in favor of deliver
their bo*els also, the vote was taken
and only three declared for abolishing
the custom, while two hundred were
fovrniaintaiiiing it. The aotion dew

That distinguished scholar, Commo

puts the duty and the importance of 1
education in a most striking light -
It is, that as the world advances in
science and with application of science
to art, loss and less humAn muscle is
required in the processna of produe
tion, and the prots of. labor are
in proportion to its intelligence.
Uneducated muscle becomes less 1
and lIes needed in tho various pro
oess of production, and gets no
employment. Thus it is, though
england produces many times more
f everything conducive to com
fort than formerly, one out of every
twenty of its inhabitants are paupers
supported by charity, and contribu
ting nothing towards production by
reason of their unskilifulness. This
process will go on with the advance of
civilisation, until the time wil come
that unskilled, uneduoated labor will
be equivalent to unemployed and un
needed poverty strieken misery, and
men will seek education as .tthey seek
their daily bread, for the one will be

By request of $enat4+ Wimbush,
the Reformi party agreed t aallow the

that no intercuption should occur
without the sanction- of the speaker.
The speaskers were introduced as
follows: Rev. Jonas Byrd, colored

Lee, colored reform, Purvis, , oolored'

by Gen. Rutter and Judge Carpenter.
An attempt was made during the
day to mob Dyrd while going from
the stand to the depot, but he was pro
tooted by whites. During the speak.
ing of the Radicale, all was attention,,
and mostly so during the ,speeches of
the Reformers, until Judge Carpenter
rose and made some remark about,
what Wimbmsh bad said, Wimbush
was standing behind the speakers

lie. Some one told him to go in front
and face the speaker, whieh he did,
asking Carpenter a question, which
Carpeuter answered, Wimbush be.
came furious and called Carpenter a
d-d liar, and asked him another
question, whereupon Carpenter asked
Wimbush if he was not the chairman
who bud been the first to sign the
agreewent, Winbush said he was,
and used worse language thau before.
Dr. A. F. Wylie went ameng the
crowd to qtuiet hiram, putting his band
on Wirebush'e shouider, whiea the
negroes uiistook for a stroke, then oom
menood the row; the negroes running
off, after ttrowiog several rooks
among the aroad. Purvis and Chain
berlain attempted to draw them. back,
and begged them to listen, but re
plied by telling them (Purvis and
Chamberlain) it was a disgrace to
their party and especially to the radi
cal speakers.
As soon as the row commenced, Dr.
R. H. Jordan went home to see if
everything was right there, on re
turning to the grove he was met by
several negroee, who hit him on the
head with a stick, and used him very
badly. A young man named Glad

rock and severely wounded. Several
others were aliglrtly wounded. This
affair would hive terminated serious
