TU- German Troops to Enter Paris To? Day-Interesting Details. PARIS, Saturday, February ?5-0 P. M.* A dispatch from Versailles, dated at mid? night, Friday, the 24th Instant, says that Thiers, Favre and Bismarck held a long interview on Friday. The terms of peace were agreed upon, but their exact natnre is a profound secret. They will be submitted on Saturday to the consultive committee. Ptace is certain. The armistice is not to be prolonged. Tne Prussians will enter Paris on Monday. SATVRDAT'S HISPAICHES. y LONDON, February 25. ? The Times special from Paris says the treaty is regarded as signed. Blane, Hugo and Roche fort, members of the Radical Left of the Assem? bly, will present a motion impeaching Napoleon. Great uneasiness is felt in the north of France on the subject of peace negotiations. Everything ls ia readiness to Inundate the coen tr v. The ' Echbdu Nord protests against the theory "or re? venge as but the opinion of a faction, and con? trary to the Interests of the nation, and of the progress of peace. The solution of the Alsace question ls possible. It is stated at Versailles that the material of. French regimen"- at Bordeaos ls excellent. BORDEAUX, Eebruary25. Thiers, Favre and Picard have not arrived. The departure of Thiers from Paris is not yet an? nounced. lt is generally supposed the Assembly will not meet to-morrow, and the armistice will be prolonged forty-eight hours. The contribution imposed on Alencon remaining unpaid, the Prnusians have seized the stocks of merchandize in the principal shops. The amount of the r?quisition made by ?the enemy on Hon fleurs ls S40.00O francs. . PARIS, February 25! The military authorities are still unadvised as ? to the entry or the Prussians. The impression ls becoming general that the enemy will forego their triumph. 'It is rumored that the Assembly will adjourn from Bordeaux to Fontainbleau. The Prussian demands -on France have produced a painful Impression in the London, Vienna and St. Petersburg Cabinets. Pongier Quertlerhas been appointed Minister of Commerce. Thiers went ta Versailles yesterday, and after his return consulted with the commission of fif? teen. It is believed negotiations were resumed to-day. It is said the present difficulty la respect-" lng a treaty of commerce. The newspapers op? pose Prussia's alleged intention of Imposing a commercial treaty upon France. Thiers accepts the principle of territorial oesslon, but ls trying - tMhve Metz. Bismarck agrees to leave that for? tress to Fiance, bnt Moitke objects. Rome recognizes :he new French Government. The Temps siys the anneal product of the land? ed property of France will not for along time ex? ceed 13.000. ooo francs; an .Indemnity of 1,000,000 thalers ls therefore excessive. ' The Temps says -the sympathetic words of President Grant's message- towards the German Empire are a painful surprise to the French De? mocracy. British Foreign Policy. LONDOM, February 24. . in the Houso of Commons to-night, Mr. Disraeli made a powerful speech on the foreign policy of England. He urged the House to consider the gravity of the Eastern question, and the serions consequences of Russia's repudiation of the treaty of 1656, which it had cost England such sacrifice* to make. He said lt had been generally believed Odo Russell'? errand to Versailles was to r anr.onnce to Bismarck that England stood ready' to Join Prussia In opposing Russian repudia"lon. Now it seems the government denied that Buch was the object of Russell's mission. . Mr. Gladstone replied denunciatory of Mr. Disraeli's inference, and expressing surprise-that the right honorable gentleman should condescend to heed and repeat ?he rumors on which they were based. The proposal to estrange Russia at a moment so critical, by gratuitous langnage, was simply mad. The conference wonld hear Russia's case In all fairness, and act on it with justice. Failure of the Irish Policy. LOKDON, February 23. Parliament was startled to night by a declara? tion of Lord Hartington that disaffection existed to such an alarming extent in Ireland that lt wjfold be necessary to appoint a secret committee to ascertain the causes. The tories are exultant" at this evident fallare in Irish policy. The Government of England is negotiating for the purchase of the Dutch settlement on the gold coast of Africa for ?23,000 sterling. In the House of Commons the university tests bill was passed. A bill leveled against Catholics assuming ecclesiastical titles passed its second reading by a majority of 80. A crowded meeting was held In Loudon, last evening, in favor of the disestablishment or the Church of England. There has been another colliery explosion in South Wales. Fifty dead have already been taken out. ' THE CLOSING OF THE WAR. ' $ Trocha a md th? Triumphal Entry of the German?.

He. asked one. dollar and twenty cents a bushel for them, which is a reasonable price. A company of National Guards came down the street. They surrounded the cart, took every potato in it. abused the peas? ant with all thajmprohrious epithets at their com? mand, broke the cart's shafts and side to carry on" as firewood, and belabored the poor horse with the stocks of their muskets. The peasant, who had paid, one dollar a bushel for the potatoes, said : "You will not catch me selling any? thing asaln until this dirty republic ls over .thrown and we have a good king or em? peror in the place of these jackass lawyers.'' A poor woman, selling cheese, wa9 set upon by a gang of Guards, her whole stock stolen, and Jett weeping by the side of her empty bar? row.

' With all the bad ac's of the mysterious ku- j Klux, we often hear of their doing some very righteous deeds. Thc following is one: Some t.me airo, a while man in this county dc- j termlned to sell.cut and go tu Tennessee. Among hts etects were a set or blacksmith's tools, which I he sold to a colored man. It appears that he was not satisfied with Tenn ssee. and after a short so jonrn there returned to South Carolina. Soon after his return he determined to get possession of the tools again. Personating a Rn-KInx oue night, he called at the colored man's ?esidence and ordered him to re:um the tools to tue white man's house. Everybody in this section unhesi? tatingly obey Ku-Klux orders; so the negro, soon after daylight the next morning, delivered the tools as directed. A few nights afterward*, the while man was ca-led te his door, and there he found about a dozen of the mysterious Klau. who very politely lniormed hire, in the exact language he had used to the negro, that unless he returned the black? smith tools to the colored man, they would pay bim a second visit, ur course, the mira had no iaea of disobeying sucli au order from that source; consequently, very early on Jhe following morning, the tools were returned to the negro. We have a number of similar acts to record. ACCIDENT AT TUE SALUDA FACTORY.- The Columbia Pheonix, of Saturday, says: "Yester? day afi eaoon, about 4 o'clock, an accident oc? curred at the Saluda Factory, near tnis city, which came near proving ratal to a number of persons. Tne main belt-aoout two feet in width, which runs over a huge wheel-was, owing to some defect, as is supposed, lora to pieces, caus? ing the wheel, which has cast ?ron spokes, to burst lu twain, throwing one of thepiecesihrougti the ceiling, in 0 the second story, and scattering things generally, bnt, wouderfni to relate, caus? ing no injury to auy humau being. This ls the lim serious accident which has ever occurred In this factory, and lt will, doubtless, cause a delay of several weeks." -The reason assigned for toe recent resigna? tion of the Republican members of the Indiana Legislature (leaving Miat body without a quurum.) was the attempt of the Democratic majority to ?pass a bill redistricting the state, in violation of the constitution, whick provides that the State Fhall not be redistricted oftener than every six v ears. The last redistricting was four years ago. THE STATE CAPITAL. THE TRIVHPH OF THE GREENVILLE RAILROAD SWINDLE TN THE HORSE. United States Troops for thc Ku-Klnx Region-A.

Seenes Attending* thc Passage of the Great Swindle in the Hons c-The Closing Days of the Session. ' . _ [FKOil OUR 0<*N CORRESPONDENT.! COLUMBIA, February 24. Considerable work was done to-day ia both branhes of the General Assembly, bat the most interesting part of the proceedings was THE GREENVILLE RAILROAD SWINDL?. The bill to aid the Greenville and Columbia Rail? road Company In repairing and extending their road was called up by its rrien-Js in the House about 2 o'clock, and from that time until the hour of adjournment the scene was one of constant turmoil and. confusion. Previous thereto heavy lobbying was done both in and outside of the House, and it was astonishing to see how well the majority of our Immaculate CHARLESTON DELEGATION, who were so rampant against corruption during the last campaign, could adapt themselves to the occasion. As soon as it became known that thc b:ll was before the House, a stream of visitors poured into the gallery and on the floor, for it was gen? erally understood that a rich time was expected. The chief lobby-men, (some or them State offl lals high in raDk.) took seats beside the more doubt? ful of their tools to direct the movements and keep sight of the latter during the vote. After the'speaker announced the bill, O'Connell, Irena York, offered a substitute, authorizing the com? pany :o issue two million dollars of bonds, to be endorsed with the guarantee or the State, and for which the Slate shall have a lien on all company property whereon no mortgages heretofore' had been executed, and specifying that an annual tax shall be levied upon tile pro? perty of the State, surflclent to pay the interest on the bonds. Frost (who behaved splendidly throughout) moved that the consideration or the bill be made tie special order for July fourth, sub? sequently July third, second and first. Dyas moved to law the motions on thc table, and Jones moved the previous question. Sparring then commenced In earnest,in more senses than one/or while Jone3 and Frost were engaged in a word duel, J. N. Hay nc, of Daru well, a violent opponent, of the measure, went for Tim Hurley, and but for the Interference or the sergeant-at arms a gen? uine light would have taken place. Arter Some twenty calls of the ayes and nays, on appeals-and all manner of subsidiary questions, which -vere always voted down by the friends of the bill, ?y votes ranging from sixty to seventy-two against a minority of rrom thirty to thiny-ll ve, the main question was finally arrived at, and lt then be? came a mere matter of time. Towards evening the House was left without a quorum. A motion to adjourn then made was voted down by the Greenville Railroad men, and on a call of the House mattets remaped In status QUO until a suf? ficient number returned to the hall to continue business. Sparring then recommenced, either Frost or Bosemon colling the ayes and nays on every section twice, until the end was reached. The total number of calls of nyes and nays was forty-one, and the time consumed nine hours. While the House was without a quorum several motions were made, the most sensible of them was probably one offered by Smart, that the ?speaker (who was then eating dinner lu his chair) be allowed a plate of dessert, which he rule! out or order, on the ground that he had already dis? posed of two platesfuu.

He. said words would not satisfy the public, so he would give facts to p:ace t!ie matter in Its own true light. First, he pat in a general denial as regards the truth of thc statement, and, secondly, lt could not be true from the nature of the case, he having no control la Die premises, and he demanded the Governor's authority for making such a base assertion. He had no unkind reelings towards the Governor or this would oh"er him an opportunity to strike him. He*: was a friend to ralr reconstruction, and the present, state of affairs was wholly due to the Governor's unfitness for the position; for had he been honest, upright and determined mat? ters would look different to-day. He date* the wh~le cause of the present state or corruption back to thc flrst senatorial contest, where, while the brains of the members of the General Assem? bly were inflamed by liquor, he {the Governor) obtained the passage or his bill, giving bonds to the Blue Ridge, by using improper means, a's he did also on tr e bill relative to the old state bills, he slioukl therefore be the last to ?-peak or the corruption of others, Frem such statements as made by the Governor people would be com? pelled to believe that he (Leslie) was a rascar, but he.would goon show that he was clear or any frauds Imputed to him -In the land commission.

A mctioa to indefinitely postpone, offered by Frost, was lost; and the bill then passed and was order? ed to be sent to Hie Senate by a vote of 77 to 23 Frost rose to a point of order, and claimed ihat, under the constitution, lt required a full two- ' third vote or all the members of the House to pass any Important money appropriation, and, eighty-eight being that number, he he d that the bill had not passed. The chair ruled the- point of order not well taken, and Informed thc member tnatit only required two-thirds of the members present. On Monday the bill comes before the Senate, where it will meet with more formidable Impediments. The Reform members in the sen? ate will oppose any extension of the line to Ashe vil e, the Spartanburg and Union Rollroad al? ready having a charter to build ID that direction.. The latter company itself ls determined to fight auy such attempt, even if the bin should pass, and oclleves that tue law will protect it from the contemplated encroachments on its rights. The easily gained victory In the Greenville business has given the ' jobbers" an appetite for MOUE PLUNDER. They are determined to bring the Port Royal blji up on Monday, and have already prepared a substitute to give that road oue?mliiion. But for Tim. Hurley's obstinacy the matter would have u,een brought up to-day; he has Ihe original hill In lils desk and refuses to give lt up or report on lt. The speak'T, when appealed to on the sub? ject, declared that tbe subs.iituie :ould not be en? tertained until the origlual bill ls brought before the House. RESOLUTIONS.

The assurance, or more properly impudence, of Sar loQjty-nien ia the railroad business, several of lem being State ofllciaU, is really astonishing, and would do credit to the most shameless "job? ber" In the lobby of Congress. Their bill had no sooner passed through ihe third reading lu the He-use tuon Hiey maue their appearance on the floor of the Senate, dropptug themselves In scats beside senators und. plaviug ihe "agreeable." The new Senators especially were favored with their winning smiles, and the -of course you vote for lr," was said load enough to be heard even at the reportera' table. There ls one thing certitln, that, ir the bill does pass the Semite, the parties interested will have to pay well ror lt, ror there ls not a senator on the floor wno ls not aware or tue Importance or his vote and their conscientious scruples are not so easily overcome as those of thc members of the other House. THE KC-KLUX SCARE. Several members of both huu-es have been favored with Ku-Klux- letters, threatening dire vengeance at no late period, and thc scare m con? sequence is not slight. Rumors of large bodies of Ku-Klux entering Collumbla at nigh, and gob bliug up the whole General Assembly and obuox ous State olllclaU are evidently circa .ate J, an l. by thc more ignorant, believed.

Mr. Pill:bury suid ?liat he hud been South eight years, ana n.ul alwa.. s ad? vocated the cause of lemale suffrage, out lie was sony to say tba: the moveaiei-t was 4a its inclpL tncy.there. He believed that the wonieu or the south ought io vote, lie knew from personal ob? servation thai so far as ttte colored women were concerned that they were better flited to enjoy the privilege of franchise than the colored men. Uetneuglve several Instances w?iere they-had shown their superiority In political matters. He said Ui.t the Governor of the ?tate, Mr. scott, was lu favor of female suffrage, as were nearly all the otner State bnicers, and he had no doubt that any influence that they could exert in fuVor of the movement would gladly be put forth. CATCHING A TARTAR. [From the Cheraw Democrai.] On Friday night last an unknown man lost bis life while attempting to rob or assassinate General E. B. C. Cash, some Ave or six miles be? low this place. We learn that a short time arter dark some two or three men endeavored to effect an entrance in the rear'of the dwelling, but were prevented by a servant, who barred the door and informed General C. of the circumstance. The lstter opened the door and stepped out Into the piazza, when a shot was fired at bim; he saw a mau standing on the steps, a few feet from him, aud fired, the ball entering the fore? head or the stranger and . causing instan, death. A Jury or inquest was held the next day, and a veruict rendered that the deceased "came to his death by a pistol shot wound iufficted by E. B. C. Cash, in the defence or his person and property." The deceased was Identified as a man who passed through this town on Friday afternoon; he bad on a shirt marked "Covington, North Carolina," but no one knew where he was from or where he was going. .Some think this was a party of outlaws iromNonh Carolina, who have had to fly from Robeson County, ethers ore of the opinion that the deceased was In? nocent, and was made use of by would-be assas? sins to em ice General C. from nls boase in Order to kill hun. -Bismarck and the Crown Prince of Prussia are notoriously at variance on matters or policy, and from ibis fact many Oerman Republicans augur a better future for liberal lustliutlons In- Germany than the present condition of affairs would seem to promise. Upon one great measure,, however, says the London News, did they agree. After the fall of Sedan, th-;y both urged upon King Wil? liam to make a peace which would not have In? volved a loss or territory by France. But to this proposition King William emphatically demurred. Tue military party, with the King at their- head, carried the day, and the war wen: on. THE MTMII CAPITAL. .
