The Great BiUi0rd H0tcH.

We have already mentioned the re-
suit of the great billiard match at Mon
treal, on Tuesday night between Mel
vim Foster, of New York, and Joseph
Dion, of Montreal. For the following
additional particulars we are indebted
to the Herqtd of that city:
AS might have been expected, Me-
chanics' Hall was crowded with people,
many of them of Il speculative turn, and
Il good deal of money is said to have
changed hands. The odds before the
commencement of the game were slight
ly in favor OF Dion, but as the game
even. The umpires in the game were
For Foster, Chris. O'Connor, of New
York and for Joseph Dion, his brother
Cyrille; Mr.. Geo. Phelan, referee. At
20 minutes to 8, Foster commenced the
game, soon giving up the cue for a"duck
egg" Dion then took the cue, and
scored 10. Foster at the outset had very
poor luck, up to the 18th inning having
only scored IS to Dion's sos. In the
l4th, he made good break of 80, and
then 80, then an interval cf3 follow
ed by another SO, which made him 35S
80 J0e's $40. Joe's highest runs up to
this were ~ ana W. For some time
Foster kept up his lead by driblets. In
the 22d inning, both made S6-Foster 40
ahead. Then followed a series Of runs,
the highest Of which were : Foster rs,
Dion SO; and after these few more
''duck eggs" were laid by both, and
small figures made by both, IN the Seth
innings, by dint of careful nursing and
two or three plucky shots, Foster made
a run of lO3, landing himself S95. This
did not suit Dion, who now showed
some splendid play, running up l24.

The Republican victory at the recent

plete than was at first supposed. Mar
shall Jewell, the Republican candidate
for Governor, is elected by Sl1 majority,
and the remainder of the State ticket
runs better than this. The Republican
majority inthe State will lie fully 900.
a greater and more important triumph
appears in the election of members of
Congress, and the Republican gain is
two. Now the only Democratic Candi-

II. Barnum; in the last Congress the
opposition had three out of four. The

his ignominious defeat with Dixon.

Editors appeal: In your issue OF
this morning l find the following:
every reason exists for taking this
matter under government control
which ever existed for taking control
of the ordinary mails. And a sound
public policy requires that the tele-
graph lines should be under the direc-
ton of the Government for the COM
mon benefit of the press and the peO-
pie of the United States, and especial
~ for the prevention of abuses, which
have grown frequent and of great

And, while agreeing that there are
grave abuses which should be correct
ed, l cannot agree with the
above. VIII putting the telegraph
lines in charge of the class

CHLNESE I[lITGRANTS.

That there are different classes of
Cinnamon, as well as Of other people,
is evident; and that we may be on our
guard in the new enterprise for impor-
tation, it is proper that we SHOULD take
a view Of all sides of the subject. For
this purpose we extract the following
from a correspondent of the New York
POsty
If the Southern people don't wish to
bring themselves into al sorts Of trouble,
they will have nothing to do with Chinese
labor. The Chinese do very well in Califor-
MIA, where they are by steam within easy
reach of their homes, and where they are
governed by various societies who pro-
tect them in case Of want or sickness;
! but, taken TO the interior of this country,
and bound down to work for a mere pit
lance ola few dollars amonth they become
lazy and shiftless. When their time is
out they are entirely without means to
return home, and then become an intOl-
| cradle nuisance.
About 1852 Mr.. Pierce Graves brought
two ship loads Of Chinese coolies to the
Sandwich Islands. They were, if my
memory serves me, picked up at Swatow,
and were to receive 81 80 per month and a
regularly stipulated quantity of rice. In
five years they were 10 be free. MIR.
Graves having previously entered into an
arrangement with a number of planters
on the Island. brought on about four
hundred coolies; and for their passage, IN
Guiding his own commission, he received
500 per head. From the first these men
stated that they had been deceived; that
they had engaged but for one year, and
that they were TO nave So per month and
. fraa V4ggara hnnFn fffhnr afgnfn1 ~ Fq-
turn at the expiration Of their period of
service. They never worked willingly;
they gambled all night, and consequently
were incapable Of working well the next
day. They were great thieves and scamps
generally. They never learned TO speak
English, but pickedup a few words Of the
native language, and consequently made
poor house servants. They took great Of
Tense if scolded; and If assaulted would
tie knives to long poles and attack their
overseers. They seemed to have no
fear Of death. They filed the prisons
and chain gangs, and a numDe
Of them were hanged for murder. Mr..
DudOit, an old resident at the Sandwich
Islands, and formerly French Consul at
Honolulu, was brutally murdered by a
coohe who had taken offense upon being
scolded. This fend came at the dead Of
night, no doubt with the intention of kill
ing the whole family. Mrs. Dudoit was
severely wounded, but finally recovered.
The services of these coolies were often
sold for Varioussums, apportiOned accord
ing to their u~neXpired time, They were
bad eggs, and the Southern people had
better keep clear of them. In California
they do very well, and are happy when
they can earn one or two dollars per dav.

friends pardon. We never undertook
to do such a thing in Our-life, without
a complete failure. The biggest thing
we know how to do, is to say what we
know in a plain and simple way, and
when we don't know it, keep our
mouth shut. Even Jack the Giant
Killer would only make himselfridic-
ulous, if he should attempt to hurl
the eternal hills and fling abroad
Jove's thunderbolts. W. do not cOvet
the glory of such sublime enterprise.
After all, the man most likely to make
his mark in the world, is he who imi-
tates the ant, and works industriOusly
on little things. We prefer terra

Agricultural AssOciation---NOt the Racing
Association.

Association.
Editors appeal. If it would not be
a trespass on your time and the space
allotted to correspondents, | would
like, for the benefit Of all well Wishers
of our Agricultural Society, to make a
few suggestions, as well as to answer
some objections which retard eXer-
tions to increase the stock. Many
persons believe that the Agricultural,
Mechanical and Stock Association
is united with the Race Association,
and all n and the same, and that
this combination was formed to make
money out Of the planter, which is
certainly a mistake. No cOnsOlida-
ton was formed. There was a con-
siderable amount of stock subscribed
to the Race Association, which Gen.
Chalmers, as the representative Of that
Association, proposed would be sub
scribed by the different individuals to
the Agricultural Association provided
it would meet with the appreciation Of
the stockholders, and prOpOsedtO lease
the grounds, when improved, from
the Agricultural Association, and keep
them in proper repair, for the 5 of
the grounds for racing purposes. 1t
would have been discOurteOus to deny
them the privilege of taking as much
stock as they desired. The plausible
manner in which the proposition was
made to lease the grounds succeeded,
and all were pleased at the large in
crease of stock. The election for di-
rectors came next, and good men were
selected, but some fears were expressed
that the majority are o identified
with the ace course than with the
agricultural and mechanical interests.
There is some intimation that much
Of the stock, one-half, perhaps, taken
by the Race Association, which
elected these men, is bogus stock.
If such is the case, the call
made by the directory of
the first installment will show
the fact, and if One-half of the sub
scriptiOn is lost, would il not be pru-
dent to dispose of fifty acres of the
land purchased, and inclOse forty-One
acres and reduce the outlay for inn
prOvementS to actual necessaries, such
as a Floral Hall and Amphitheaters.
The Race Association can make
their own arrangements. 1t will not
do to involve the planters and me-
chanics interest at the start with a
debt that must prove destructive of all
hope in the future. The old but trite
maxim, "cut the garment according
to your cloth" should be the motto of
our Directors.
1t might be prudent in some of the
Directors who are mOstidentiied with
the race associations, to let their col
leagues who are identified with the
agricultural and mechanical pursuits
have the controlling influence. / hope
they will. III.
