In the Frech Corps Lcgislatt, yesterday, a
proposition to amend the revenue bill by res
toring former duties on all resinous products
from tho u. S. into France, gave rise to lively
debate. 1t was supported on the ground that
duties on imports from the u. S. were justified
by the excessive tariff now imposed by the j.
S. on articles Of French production. The
measure was strongly opposed by the free trade
members. The Director OF Foreign Commerce,
said they had watched the changes which had
of the u. S. and they lamented that such heavy
burdens had been placed on French products !;
but they were not disposed to adopt system
to the commercial interests Of both countries.
After further debate the amendment was re-
jected.

CHEAP LIVING. The Workingwomen' s
Home in New York city has been making
some interesting experiments in regard to
cheap living. Last October large establish
ment, capable of accommodating five hundred
persons, was started for the purpose of furnish
ing reasonable board to industrious working
women. The charge of ST. 5 week has been
found ample to cover the expenses of food, at
tendance, and rent, with two hundred and
thirty inmates. In order to enable the residents
to economic still more, lodging and eating de-
partments were organized separately. One
dollar and quarter is now charged for room
rent, and food is furnished at wholesale cost,
with slight addition for the expense of ser
wants wages, fuel, and breakages. Under this
arrangement coffee and tea, with sugar and
milk, can be furnished for two cts. a cup i;
milk for two cts meat for three cts. plate,
Gin quantity equal to that of cheap eating
house, where fifteen cts. are charged J a slice
of bread about five inches square and an inch
thick for one ct. several potatoes for two cts,
plate of peas, beans, or other vegetables for
three cts, pat of butter two cts. pudding
with sauce, four cts, pie, three cts strawber,
ries, four cts. and huckleberres or blackberries,
three cts. and other eatables in proportion.
The provisions are bought of wholesale dealers

The VOTE OF VIRGINIA.-Thc Richmond
Dispatch, speaking Of the Presidents recent
message vetoing the electoral college bill, says:
"Virginia has the right, according to the
Presidents message, to cast her vote under the
Alexandria constitution-that is, the free white
male citizens Of Virginia have the right to
choose ten electors to cast her vote for Seymour
and Blair. But as the military are over us in
sufficient force to prevent the holding of an
election, and as the President would not be
able to protect us from the devices of Congress,
it is not likely that we shall consider it either
wise or proper to undertake to hold
an election for electors In Virginia. Our right
to do so is as clear as our right to choose our
Governor, and as hard to enforce

INTEMpERANcE IN THE ARMY. The follow
ing statement is taken from the editorial col
umns of the New 7 ork Times.
During the debate inthe House q few days
since on the bill providing for the reduction of
the army the statement was made, upon the
authority of the Secretary of War, that if the
present rate OF dismissals Of officers for drunk
enness and incompetency were continued for
one year, the number of officers would be re-
duced fully one quarter. This is fearful indi-
cation of army decentralization, and furnishes a
good argument for the speedy reduction of the
force. Such Decentralization on the part of the
officers must contamlnate the enlisted men
with whom they serve, and readily accounts
for the unprecedented number of assertions
which have taken place during the past two
years. Most certainly the army needs reduc-
ing, but the result should bereached by a care
full wedding out of the worthless and incompe.
tent, leaving those who have a proper apprecia
ton Of their duties and position to restore it to
a healthy and useful condition.

The House resolution, as amended by the
Senate, so as to provide for an adjournment
on Monday next, and recess until the third
Monday in September, came up yesterday in
the House Of Representatives, and sharp de-
bate ensued After voting down various amend
ments, the House finally voted on the Senate
amendment aud agreed to it. Still, a motion
to reconsider was entered, and adjournment is
far from certain. The ultras want a session of
Congress, like the French Jacobins, en- perma-
nence, impeachment, and liberal distribution
of arms to their partisans, North and South.
