New YORK, March 5.-The Herald's
Berlin correspondence, of a recent date,
chronicles the splendid triumphs of the
Liberal democracy of Germany at the gen.
eral election held under the universal suf-
frage franchise. The city returns from
Berlin show Count Bismarck, with every
general of the late war, were signally de-
feated by the constituency by which they
were nominated.
The Herald's Panama correspondent of
the 28th, says the subject of war with
Ecuador is being canyassed, and a surveying
party has been sent to survey the boundary
line between Costa Rica and Columbia. 1t
is believed the latter is for the purpose of
making pretense for war on that little re-
public. In the meantime, Columbia her.
self is in a state of internal warfare. Yell

The Herald's Lima, Peru, correspondence,
of the 18th ult., says it is reported four
Spanish iron-clads were coming round the
Horn. A small rebellion had taken place
in Chilli but was Immediately suppressed.

steady progress that the worst consequent

Dispatches had been forwarded to the
Consul General of England, in Havana,
asking the immediate support of man-of-
war ship from that station; but as there
was not a royal vessel within easy commu-
nication, it is said the Consul General of
the U. S. in Cuba, was about to send an
American gunboat to the Balize to aid the
English. This anglo-Indian affair assumes
a serious aspect, in a territorial point of
view; as a boundary right dispute between
an English planter and the Indians, him

can question.
The Herald's Mexican correspondent
says, IN regard to the fate of Ortega, now a

The Alexandria va Election

WARRINGTON, March 5.-Considershle
feeling exists in Alexandria, Va, relative
to the colored people voting there to-day for
municipal officers. The Alexandra Ga
zette says the idea that negroes have the
right to vote grows out of the passage of
the reconstruction bill The Washington
Chronicle SAYS this is the first election in
the South since the passage of the recon
struction bill, and that threats have been
made by the Rebel element, and that loyal
men fear they may execute them on the
negro 1t is well for all parties TO under
stand that the law will be enforced upon
every offender, and if in the election of
officers sthere refuse negro votes they
will have to take the conseque noes.

HISTORY OF THE PorATo.-In a paper read BY
a Mr.. Crawford, in London. on the "Relations of
Plants to Ethnology,' short but complete history
is given of the Introduction of the potato into Eu-
rope. The potato Is still found on the western slope
of the Andes, the tubers however. being no larger
than the common tibert. Even the Indians said
Mr.. Crawford. cultivated the potato before the ar
rival of the Europeans. 1t first brought from
America To Ireland, where it was cultivated in
l656 but it is said to have been introduced into
Spain and Portugal even before that date. 1t is q
well authenticated fact that Col. Moore of Cald
well, in the west of Scotland. within the past cen
tury, had some indurated clay taken from a coal
pit being sunk his estate forty feet beneath the
surface, which he carefully treated prevent
its being impregnated with any germs Of seed; and
that from this piece Of clay several exotic plants
unknown to the local botany came and also one
which turned out to be species of the Soianum
fuberosuna, or potato. The produce of that plant
(Which in four years after its discovery bore large
white potatoes) is now cultivated extensively in
the west OF Scotland. The story is a strange one,
but it is true, and has been solemny attested by
Col Moore, who was lately member of the En-
glish Parliament from Renirewshire, Scotland.

CHINAMEN TAXING THE OATH.-The Grass Val
lev National aluding to Recorder Byrne's Court
room. of that city, the occasion of administer
ing the oath, China fason TO several Celestial wit
nesses, says it presented decidedly bloody ap-
pearauce after the chickens had been decapifated.
and proceeds In many respects it reminded one
of the ancient gladiatorial arena. Various murder
Gus implements were strewn about the room, while
the floor was covered with the blood of the fowls
sacrificed to JOSH We could not restrain a
laugh during the administering Of the oath, to no
tice the expression of his HoDer's countenance.
which, unlike that of Hamlet's ghost, more in
anger than in sorrow. Evidently designing to pre-
his judicial ermne still untarnished he sought
more exalted position and got upon chair,
where he remained until the unfortunate chickens
who we're writhing about the floor and scattering
their blood about in all directions. had breathed
their last. We think that the Judge will hereafter
be willing to accept the word of Chinaman on an
oath recognized by Americans.

HONESTY REWARDED BY "JosH."-The Grass
Valley National of the 23d relates the following:
A Chinaman. yesterday going from Grass Valley
to Rough and Ready stumbled upon a piece of
quartz containing thirty forty dollars worth of
gold. He greatly elated, as might be supposed.
1t appears that he has brother who was employed
as witness in a China case, recently in Just ce
Byrne's Court, having been bribed to swear to a
transaction which be had not any knowledge of.
This brother dssuaded by him from giving the
false testimony, and even frightened him out of ii
by threats of having his throat cut, if he persisted
The finder of the Quartz specimen confidently be-
eves that the great God Josh, has thus rewarded
his fidelity to principle. He tbinks it pays to be
honest aud in fact, he is not much mistaken.

fire was as follows: After dinner one Of the board
ers, after lighting his pipe, dropped the match
which fell through crack in the floor of the porch.
Tue shsvings had never been removed from under
the house. and the match ignited them. In few
seconds all the shayiugs were in blsze. The fre

THE LABOR QUESTION IN NAsscHrsErrs-The
matter of the hours of labor which been long
agitated in Massachusetts, By both men and women.
PtoRisesn0g 10 receive some decisive Legislation.
After series Of bearings. extending over period
of a month and week debate in the lower house,
a sort of ten hour bill has been passed in that body.
Ii is chiefly for the protection of children employed
in manufacturing establishments. and, as il is likely
to become law. the adult working portion Of the
community take encouragement, and hope to Sc
cure their rights in another year. The BILL in brief
provides that person under fifteen years shall be
employed in any manufacturing establishment more
than ten hours and twenty minutes in any one day
or more than sixty hours in one week; that any
owner agent, superintendent or overseer who shall
knowingly employ or permit TO be employed any
person under fifteen years of age. for greater
length Of time than is provided in the preceding
section, shall far each offence forfeit the sum Of
$50 that il shall be the duty Of the Commonwealth
to specially detail one of his deputies, with such
additional force as may be necessary. to see that
the provisions of this act, well as all other laws
regulating the employment Of children minors
in manufacturing establishments, are complied
with, and to prosecute offences against the same.
and he shall report annually to the Governor all
proceedings under this act.

EFFrcrs OF ALcoHoL.-Experments made by
Drs Ringer and Richards on men and animals go
to show that the temperature of the body falls as
fast nearly after the use of alcohol in doses sa-
ceni to produce in,oxicaton as after death itself
The facility With which drunkards freeze to death,
is explained by this fact. Dr.. Jolly declares that
an increasing tendency towards mental disease has
been generated by the increasing consumption OF
spirits. Of6cal reports show that the abuse OF al
cohol accounts for oneiifth Of the insanity among
the French people.
