WRECK OF THE STEAMER
CARNATIC.

We have to announce a terrible ship
wreck, which has brfel one of the fine
fleet ot'mail steamers of the Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Navigation Company,
the Carnatic, a powerful Iron-buiIt vessel,
OF 1,776 gross tonnage, which, according
to the kilograms received by the company,
was totally lost, with about 81 of her
people, off the Island of Shadwan, in the
Gulf of Suez, on Monday morning last.
The Carnatic has for some time been
employed by the company service be-
tween Suez and Bombay and Bombay and
China. She left Su,z for Bombay on
Sunday last, the 10Th ,nst., al 10 a. NJ,
under the charge Of Captain p. B. Jones,
R.N.R., commander, an old and cxperien-
ced officer Of the company. She carried
% irst-claSS passengers, IL second, one
native servant and one chlld-in all 81.
She had a general cargo shipped from the
Venetian steamship from Liverpool, to-
gether with about 940, 900 in specie. A
telegram of her departure was received
at The company'S Office in Leadrnhall-
street on Monday, and The first they heard
of the disaster 10 the ship was early yes
terday morning, when a relative of one
OF the passengers waited on the secretary
with "a telegram reporting that the Car
matte Was totally wrecked, and that his
friends were TO be telegraphed TO hat he
was saved. Beyond this no positive in
telIigence was received Ivy the company
till about noon, when the following came
to hand from their superintendent at
SuPz -
SUEz, Thursday, 2 a. M.
The Carnatic, steamship, from Suez
to Bombay, was totally wrecked off Shad-
war at l a. m. on the 18Th September,
passengers and crew landed on Shadwan,
and arrived in the Sumatra, steamship,
at Suez, at 2 a. M, 10th September, ex-
cepting five passengers and niue Of the
officers and crew, and fifteen natives.
Mails, specie, cargo and baggage, went

CLANS panuef TO THESE preludlCeS OF the
white Iabourers against the yellow, and
were it not for the fact that the Federal
Legislature has power to annul State laws
which are contrary to the letter or spirit
OF the constitution, the poor Chinese
would be prosecuted legally .as we'll as
privately, two or three infamous bills
against them having been carried through
the Californian Congress. Most of the
CeleStlaIS in the Manufacturing districts
are under the control of six great Com
paEIes, who furnish them with transport,
lind employment for them, feed and clothe
them, aud provide doctors when necessary
while they are out Of work. Further
than this, as there is a great horror in the
Chinese mind of being buried in a foreign
land, these Companies are actually under
contract to return the bodies of all who
die to China. LabOur Exchanges have
had a good trial in America, and appear
to work well. The two principal are
those IN San Francisco and New York.
The former, although more recently es-
t~ahllShfd5 has done more business in a
given time in the way Of finding employ
ment for all descriptions of workpeople
than ;he latter. These agencies are sun
ported by contributions from employers
and wealthy citizens, who fud it 10 their
interest to encourage all movement for
the regulation and increased supply of
labour. From a long list showing the
entire business transacted during three
months at the Californian Labour Ex-
change, | pick out the following few
facts, showing wages actually obtained
ny people who had just arrived in San
Francisco in the early part of The summer
OF 1868. 1874 general Iabourers were
touad IN Situlions in town and country at
rates varying from two dollars to two
dollars and a half per day without board,
or from thirty to fifty dollars per month
with board and lodging, the dollar in Ca
lltornla meaning gold. Thus we find
rough and unskilled Iabourers getting up
wards of fifty shillings a week, besides
their board and lodging, and savings banks
at rand '0here ten per cent. interest mag be
obtained on all they can lag By. If this
does not settle the question as to whether
the labourer is better off in Europe or
America, it is difficult to imagine ANYTHING
which would. Again, | find that 81 en-
glneers were provided with work at rates
varying from SO to so dollars per month
with board 1,164 farm hands at rates a
little higher than the general. unskilled
labourers, some of them getting as much
as 60 dollars with board. 400 carpenters
found work at wages varying from 8 to
5 dollars per day; and so on, through
sheet after sheet of official figures, not
issued from a claptrap advertising agency

AS mentioned In my last paper, al
though | was unable to visit California,
as the railroad was not completed, | had
much correspondence with gentlemen re-
siding there and conversation with work
lng-men who had given that State a trial.
Most OF the latter expressed themselves
anxious to get back to it, home-slcknrss
and restlesSness being the reasons gem
orally given for their having come East
again. 1t would appear to be indeed an
FL Dorado for the Nottingham. Not
only a%e7 wages high, but food is cheap

part OF the Union, and the climate is

Informed by the Hon. H. c. Bennett,
Secretary OF the Californian Labour Ex-
change, that in spite of almost every
trade having INDUCED in the luxury of
obstinate strikes, there were in the diff

the date OF his letter DULY, 1869 upwards
OF ten million dollars the property of per-
sons living by handiWork. Its no small
matter, too, that this vast sum was bear
ing interest, secured by Government, at
the rate OF 10 per cent. Almost every
one OF the stSlkes alluded to had been a
victory tor the men, for Iabour in CaIifor-
MA has everything It's own way. The
elght-hour law, too, is general, the Bill
having been passed by the legislative

In consequence of the scarcity of women,
many occupations which are here confn-

washermen (mostIy Chinese), and men

of The Operators ArIested.
A stock dealer, named John L. Sayers.
was arrested at Wcllsville, Montgomery
county, by Marshal McFall of this city,
and Ml' b NJ. OdOm, who came here
with TequlsltOu from GuvergOr PeaSe
OF Texas Oh Governor McClurg, for his
rendition To that State. SayeIs is charg-
ed with being in completely with two
coniederates In passing large ameunt
OF counterfeit greenhacks, and. with
drawing money on forged checks upon
two banks Mt Austin, Texas The checks
were originally of small amounts drawn
In st. Louis, and were afterward "rais
ed" to u much larger sum, the signatures
and dates being allowed to remain
When the checks were presented TO the
banks, they were cashed at once. In
this way about $4,000 was swiudled
from the banks, all of which, however,
has been recovered, except about 500.
1t appears that Say ers, after getting the
checks raised" here, went to Texas, aud
being taken sick, left the matter with
his confederateS, one of whom, named
Piper, wds arrested, and, turning States
evidel o., blowed" on his accomplices
Piper, 1t is said, was a young man, and
formerly worked for Sayers in Galloway
county Missouri.
About $4,000 in counterfeit bills and
pocket full of raised" drafts were
found on the men. The drafts were
raised" from $50 TO $4,000 and $4,000.
Mr.. Odom who was large stock drov-
er, was used by Sayers' coufederates to
introduce them to the banks; aud, there
fore, his interest in ferretlng out the
parties to the plot and bringing the pei
petrators to Justice.
A letter was directed to Savers, re-
qTesnuS HIM to come to Wellsville,
which he did, not suspecting plan for
MS captsre. He there was taken into
custody by the gentlemen above named
He sent his horse home by a how and
came on with his captors to this civ,
He left Saturday morning, IN char of

to be all right.
