The experience) of the last two months has led the Germans to conclude that, if the day be very Wet, Mont Valerien and the other forts around Paris will not disturb their tranquillity. -A Versailles letter refers to a srcrct visit or the .Bishop of Orleans, wno ls said to have had an in? terview with the King of Prussia. His object, lt ls believed, was to Interest the King ia a compro? mise between the Legitimists and the Or canlsts, by which the Count de Cbambord would ascend the French throi.e, and, being childless, would bc .succeeded hy the Ojunt de Paris. -Tue Crown Prince of Prussia having express? ed a wish to see a late Paris paper, one of his staff, Lieutenant Hoffman, went out in advance of , the sentries, aiid in the dusk managed to jenter a. house within a few hundred yards or Valerien, whichwas. occupied by an Englishman. The app^Ldtlonof a Prussian officer, revolver In hand, was startling, ani the demand for the last Paris paper equally as.tooishlng. The paper was produced, and shortly thereafter was placed lu the hands of his royal highness. -?-A correspondent at Yersadlei says roany Ger? man officers think the siege- of Paris a gigantic ?mistake. It would have been more easy to obtain peace and what they waar, it ls said, by nsing the troops now held Inactive as an investing force ronnel Parts In grand military promenades all through France, and crushing armed reals t .-ance uotth, douth. cast and west, so as to leave the capital, ir it held ont when no strong place 'was left to resisti os a Donne ooucTie for the last -concentrated e ort of the army. . '-A''"Washington dispatch of Tuesday says: ' -'Members from the ^uth continue to receive by every mall numerous applications to Congress for the rem?val br political disabilities. Over fifty 'names were received to-day. The reconstruction committee of the House p-opore to decide thc -question of general amnesty atan early date. The i?easure ls certainly stronger In both Houses - than lt was last sen-ion, bat whether lt can com? mand the required two-thirds vote ls by no means . JBO certain." u -The University of Virginia, which has been .rapidly Increasing the number of its students since the war, and had about 475 at thc last ses? sion, has now 520 matriculates. The highest num? ber, of students, bemire the war was some 630. Considering" the exhausted and crippled condi? tion of the Southern Industries, the present nura "ber ls really remarkable. This uulversiry has more students than any other Southern Institu? tion, and ls only equalled, it ls believed, by Yale and Harvard. -A New Ycrk lett? of Saturday says: "Some . of the wise men or Broad str*>st, who s*? reputed to know almost everything before lt happens, arc telling their friends, this afterauoa, to prepare -?Or a great event, which will certainly happen next week, according to private and confidential advices per cable. What the event is they adroit? ly leave- to conjecture, thereby inducing that pe . ?callar feverishness In the stock and noll markets ? which comea of a distracting uncertainty. The .?-fahrender of Paris or an English declaration of 1 war against Russia ls supposed, by the outsiders, -tobe the momentous event which ls to transpire." .-The following dispatch has . been received ,iiom'NeDhl, Utah, dated December 6: "Two men, ^Jaained1 Richard Sopher and Antoine Variardle, Were arrested charged with committing outrages ? on their 'step-daughters, whose ages are tea. ' 'eievenj twelve and thirteen years'of age, both men having married.women who had children by "former husbands. The prisoners m.^de full con -Jfeasionsof guur. Whllebeing conveyed to prison funder guard, they gave a yell, and, sprlnzlng out f <a the wagon, ran away, the guard pursulug ami -calling on them to stop. Tho prisoners paid no . attention to these demands, and thc guards fired, bringing them dowa. The prisoners died shortly .-afterwards." -The Russin vernment, lt ls stated, applied to the Prussian. Miter the campaign of 1866. for several officers to act as lnstructo*? to the Rus aian army, who wore accordingly sent. Three or these gentlemen-who remained In Russia until the outbreak or the war-were detailed td make a survev of southwestern Ru-sk. and acquitted i themselves admirably of the task, Hie maps en? graved from their drawings being models >>f ac? curacy. His now discovered that ihe drawings themselves have disappeared, arid the Kussi.iu authorities are beginning to think that perhaps the-apprentlceship which their soldi-rs served to the Prussian ortlcers may, tn the event or war be tween thc oountries. be attended with unp easant hedvy rees, Inasmuch as the Prussians will be as perfectly informed as they themselves are. -The ."'all Mall Gazette, or November 20, con? tains the article following: "There Isa very pre -valentand natural hesitation in admitting among the possibilities chao threaten peace just now the hostility of America. to England. For our own part, we have said little or nothing ou that head, contenting ourselves with pointing out that the -German grievance instituted ac the beglnuing or the war, and nourished ever since, ls very like >the American grievance, and th? any lavorable -opportunity might combine them. It may be as well to point out that the fire wherewith they might easily be rosed.'ls kindled already. The German lnfiaence over American politics ls known to be very potent. The outbreak of the war between France and Prussia was hailed with vast enthusiasm by thatpart of the population o the United StatesjWhiob"wields this influence Recent events, If they travel m a certain direction may endanger or embarrass the German sue cesses bi France. This embarrassment, should 1 come into operation at all, will be ma m'y wrough by the band of England, working against a poss! ble arrangement between Russia and Prnssia fo their own^ivaotage and to England's harm. Ii that case,"nd or course we are only conslderini the contingencies of actual war,) l3 lt not likely is lt not all but certain, that the German influenc in America would be Instantly arrayed In suppor of a movement hostile to England f German seo tlment, equally with American sentiment, wouli be at once Inflamed, and by the same agency ; th German and the American grievance would b united. This hostility-lu which the Irish elemen would Join-might well be more urgent than th American Government could withstand; it wooli certainly be powerful enough to give that govern ment a pretence which might cover any apparen shabbiness In seizing upon an opportunity fo the reparation or revenge which the whole conn try tongs ror."_ The Blue Ridge Railroad. The Board of Directors, in their annus report jost published, notice in genera terms the settlement effected with Creawel & Co., the defaulting contractors, by mutua consent, and then pass to a review of wha has been done in the direction of completinf the road. As a first step they made a con tract in February last? with Mr. Thomaf Steers, for Ur work on the line from Wal halla to the North Carolina boundary, em bracing a large proportion of heavy gradin?: and tunnelling. They then pass to thf financial problem, and say : '?After diligent inquiry in New York, Messrs Henry Clews & Co., and Mr. H. U. Klmpton, were constituted agents for the company, with instruc? tions to Inquire and report upon the practicability of an early and satisfactory negotiation-of a por tion or all of the State guaranteed bonds of the company. .'In April, these gentlemen reported their bellcl that a sale could be effected In Frankfort, Gt r many, of the entire four millions of bonds, at such rates as the company could accept, and ad? vised a prompt preparation of said bonds and their delivery; the earlier preparation of these bonds having been prevented by causes to which reference has been made in a former report. "While the president was diligently engaged in the execution of the bonds, and procuring the signature of the comptroller general, who inter? posed no delay, certain taxpayer? of the Sta'e ol South Carolina instituted legal proceedings for the issue of an Injunction against the Bald com? pany and the said comptroller-general, before Jndge Melton, and obtained a temporary order therefor. The case coming np to be heard regu? larly upon Its merl's, the Judge decided In favor of the rights of the company, and Issued bis order dissolving the injunction and dismissing the com? plaint. An anp?al from this decision was threat? ened, which caused a further d< lay o'f sixty davs. "At the expiration or this time, further pro? ceedings on the part of the complainants having been abandoned, the execution of th? bonds was completed, and the bonds were forwarded to New York, too hvc. however, ror the company to ben em by the negotiation which had been commenc? ed, as the Inception of the existing European war had entirely arrested the sale of American rail? road securities. "The Boara ar Directors are reliably informell that no such sale has been made, since, or can now be negotiated. "At a meeting of the Board of Directors, held in the City or Columbia, in August last, Hon. James L. Orr, General Wm. Gurney, and the president, were appointed a committee to visit the City or New York, and authorized to sell a portion or the said bonds, or finding that imprac tlcab'c, to negotiate a Ran of Ave hundred thous? and dollars, by hypothecation, to meet the press? ing financial necessities or the company. The committee soon round that the sale or the bonds was Imprac lc lble, ror the reason already stated. After much labor and demy, the committee, how? ever, succeeded in negotiating a small loau of Arty thousand dollars to mee: estimates then due, and other current expenses, with the promise on t?te part or those with whom they had negotiated, to make 'urthcr advances from time to time, until thebouds could be s lld or the comp .ny should make other arrangements. . "On the 10th or September, 18T0. when the president and Geueral Gurney bad.l?ft New York on their return home. Mr. Thomas steers, the contractor, without cause and without notice, In? stituted certain proceedings agalast the executive committee of the company and their financial agents, claiming relier under his cooiract, god tho appointment of a receiver of thc bonds and atsets of the company. "Those bonds which the committee failed to neg?:ute were left in the possession of Mr. Henry Clews, who had been appointed one or the trustees under the mortgage for his signature as such trustee, a portion thereof being hypothe? cated under the authority referred to above, to cover loans made by him ind Mr. Klmpton." This account ol' tho attempt to negotiate the guaranteed bonds of the company, dif? fers materially from the version previously in circulation. Three million dollars out of tho four million which the State guaran? tees, are not to be used unless throe million dollars in currency, " or as much of that "sum as shall be necessary," shall be fur? nished "in exchange or upon th? security " of said bonds." The mode of operation is said lo have been this: One million dol? lars of bonds, upon which there was no lim? itation of price, were to be sold, aud the money so realized was to be used in making up the ditlereuce between the market prie? of the remaining three millions and their par value. Tuis pretty plan, however, fell through. We suppose it was purely on ac? count of Ute "inception of the existing " European war." The board state that the new surveys re? duce the cost of completing the road and will lead toa considerable saving in distance. The trains on the road have run with regu? larity ana safety, and the gross income has increased steadily. Irl regard to connecting roads, and with regard to the debt and lia? bilities of the company, the board say: "The corporations formlng-the connecting links in thc States or Georgia, North Carolina and Ten? nessee, still preserve their separate organization. Thc proceedings or the annual meetings and or ganizationor Hie Blas Ridge Railroad Company (Georgia,) and or the Tennessee River Railroad (North Carolina.) accompany (bis report, lt would be judicious for the Blue Ridge Railroad Com? pany, in 5>outh Carotins, owning the controlling stock In each of these corporations, to effect a legal consolidation as s.-on as possible, and for j such purpose application Should be made to the Legislatures or Georgia and North Carolina for the necessary leglsl .tlon. The Knoxville and Charleston Railroad Company, iu Tennessee, U aHOther connecting corporation, the condition or which calls ror Immediate attention. Thc means for roi ling thc line or thc State or Tenucssec, on that part of the road now in operation, should at once bc looked to, and the board would recom? mend that a memorlil be addressed to the Legis? lature of the State or Tennessee ror aid iu that matter. It may be proper 10 add here that the citizens aiong the Hue or the road lu Gi orgia have subscribed from ten to fifteen thousand acres of land, and also thc citizens of the State of North Carolina from five to ten thoosand acres in aid of this enterprise, with the promise to Increase thc.r subscriptions to a very large amount when? ever satisfactory assurances shall be given them of the ultimate completion or the road. The prcRldeot cr the company had intended to devote the summer months or the present year to this object, bat the duties or his omce called htm else? where; bat tbe board recommend that renewed efforts should be made, and the largest sabscrlp tloa possible be obtained, as lt will aid mach in furn ls h lag the means to meet any deficiency which may hereafter occur In the'assets or the company. ? "The board of directors hare had occasion, at each annual meeting, to direct the attention of the stockholders to the great advantage and obli? gation of providing for the liquidation of the old floating debt, particularly set forth In a report or a former president or this road. Mr. John T. Sloan, on the 1st of June, 1887, and also at least for the payment of the due coupous of the first mortgage bonds or this company, and maturing rrom ISCO to 1861 to the present time. "These bondi run thirty years, and rall due in 1S61. The act of September, 1868, provides ror the payment ol this debt rrom the proceeds or the first million or bunds auihorized^thereby, but lu the judgment of the board of directors, such pro? visions may be met by payment of the interest due, and the deposit or an amount of the guaran? teed bonds sufficient to cover the principal or an exchange of the said last mentioned bonds, which many holders are willing to accept The president, by repeated assurances or the disposi? tion and lstentlon of this company to provide for an early liquidation of these demands, has pre? vented many suits by Impatient creditors, but such snits cannot longer be postponed, and the executive committee Bhould be again authorized and directed to make Borne arrangement by which such a consummation may be reached. "The liabilities of the company Incurred during the terms of clhce of the present president and disbursements are fully set forth tn an account current accompanying this report. "Upon the settlement of the contract with Cres? well i Co., Hie railroad company were entirely without cash resources, but Immediately made arrangements with Mr H.H. Kim pion for n loan of one hundred and fifty-four thousand dollars, which enabled them to pay Creswell & Co., and continue the work upon a moderate scale, ami thus relieve the company from a discredit of a total abandonment of their operations." The work on the road has only progressed at the rate of twelve thousand dollars a month. In regard to the policy of Ute com? pany and the importance of the road to the State, the board say: 'This policy, however Judicious and demanded by the condition or the company, has, perhaps, not unnaturally provoked some Impatient criti? cism at thc alleged Blowness with which the work has been prosecuted. But these censures have proceeded from persons who rather look to the progress and completion of the road ror their own advantage, than rrom those who are directly con? cerned ia and responsible ror tts success; and this board ts conscious that, in adhering to the policy they have Indicated, they are but discharg? ing the duty confided to them, and assuring that final success which will put an end to all such criticisms. And, although the boards have been embarrassed by unforeseen difficulties, suchas the reclslon of the Creswell contract and the heavy expenditure consequent thereon, and other contingent expenses, which could neither be an? ticipated or guarded against, they appeal confi? dently to thc stockholders for that approval of J their courte which is due to rectitude or intention and such vigor ol action as was permitted by the means at their control. "They cannot conclude this report without the expression or their regret at what they cannot conceal rrom themselves, and that Is, thc absence or that Inte-cst In this great enterprise which, many years ago, supported ard strengthened the spirit In which It was then prosecuted. They are perfectly aware that great changes have taken place since this road was commenced. They know that many who were strangers to us then are now, and must be. active agents tn Its com? pletion, and that the State which is to be benefit? ed by the trade which lt must bring embraces among its citizens thousands who, when lt was conceived, could scarcely have taken- an intelli? gent Interest In Us progress; but the board can? not understand why this should affect the zeal or energy of those who really love their native state. Whatever may be the change ia her political con? dition, those great laws which regulate thc con? centration an i distribution of national wealth ore still at work, an 1 upon Hie adaptation of these laws to our Industrial energies must our material prosperity depend. It seems to tlie board too clear for argument that the growth of a great sea? port In South Carolina can only result rrom the concentration at some harbor "within her borders ofthatWci-t Indian and South American trade which demands, lu exchange for its own pro duce, the flour, the corn and the bacon of the West, aud that no such concern ration can bc effected unlit such a harbor is put lu direct com? munication with the great produce markets of the West. To-day corn ls dull lu Knoxville at40 cents per bushel, wheat at 75 cents to $1, flour $6 per barrel, pork 0 cen?8, Br?sa, per pound, and hay 75 cents per cwt. Cdmpnrc these prices with the rates at which thesaratfarticles can bc sold In Columbia and Charleston, and then, suppose HUB road completed, add Its freight, and who can doubt that the margin or profit would udd untold wealth to ibo business enterprise or the Stete. Indeed, thc tribute which the people or this State pay to tlie enterprise or others In excess or r eights aud costs of the necessaries of Hie In every five years would furnish thc mi ans to com? plete this road. Hut to make this enterprise a complete success, and to Improve the natural ad? vantages of loca iou, we must have, also, a direct connection willi Chattanooga, the.groat focus of Southern railroads. A practicable route ls odor? ed us, ami a iluc regard to the commercial Inter? ests of this State Imperatively demand or us to secure at once (hat connection which puts our people over the shortest line In direct communi? cation with the great cotton belts, with St, Louis and Chlcugo. and with the racitlc laliroads, uow and s ion hereafter io be in operation. They do not propose, however, to repeat tlie argument as to the advantages of this ro td. All the past legisla? tion or thc State lias been based upon a conviction or Its reality, and they only a-k that those whose foresight, perseverance and enterprise Inaugurat? ed this work should not r.ow relax their i fforts or abandon hopes nearer to day than thoy ever were to realization. They must say, also, that they have been painfully annoyed, and the work on the road seriously embarrassed and retarded, by a series of lawsuits, which elie repeated decisions or the courts warrant them In calling pretensive not Intended to vindicate any principle or right or protect any real Interest or the State, but simply calculated to delay thc progress or the road, aud tcdlshearten those who look forward to its com? pletion as the commencement of a new and vigo? rous prosperity of the whole State." Tho New Circuit Judge. Colonel R. F. Graham, of Marion, i3 elect? ed Judge of the Charleston Circuit, and il must be admitted that if he serves the peo? ple, in the judicial capacity, as faithfully and fearlessly as he served the Confederacy, his term of office will be both honorable and useful. The conversion of Colonel Graham to Radicalism was somewhat sudden, but upon this point no moro need be said. It is expected of a judge that he hold himself entirely aloor from the arena of politics, and so long as Judge Graham holds the scales of justice with an even hand, it will matter little whether, before his elevation to the bench, he called himself Democrat or Re? publican.
