More trouble has broken out in the
'anti-rent" districts in Knox, New York.
The barn of one of the anti-renters was
set on fire recently and destroyed with
all it's contents, in revenge, it is alleged,
for outrages committed by this class;
and it is reported that in these districts
men have been outrageously beaten
within few days, the tails and names of
horses shaven of, and other wrong deeds
done.
At Peekskill, New York, a man is in

the street. whore passing man pulled it

NEaRo BoNDs.-Judge Carpenter has
rendered decision in the case of Ell
liott Us. Trescott and Whalsy, which
was argued before him some weeks ago,
in which the question of the validity OF
negro bonds was involved. The Judge
sustained the validity of the bonds on
the ground that the law invalidating
them is in contravention to the clause Of
the Constitution prohibiting tho passage
by any State of laws impairing the obIi-
CATION of contracts. The decision of
this case has an important bearing upon
many others, and it is probable that it
will go up before the highest Courts of
the land.-ChdrleSton Courier.

COMPETITIONS OF RAoE.-John China
man, according to all accounts, is MAX
ing an excellent laborer in California,
and all along the Pacific coast. He can
turn his hand to almost anything, from
building railroad, or digging q canal,
the mending O shoe, or laying brick. He
is frugal in his habits, and can afford,
therefore, to sell his labor cheap. These
facts our Yankee countrymen found out
some time since, and hence, we are not
surprised to learn that the children of
the Sun and Moon are growing rapidly
in favor among them, and that emigra-
ton from China is meeting with special
encouragement. Many are of opinion
that ere long this new start must create
revolution in the labor market in all
that region. The suddenly emancipated
negro race in the Southern States, to-
gether with the hundreds of thousands
of Celestials that are now pouring into
the country, are formidable competitor
for the labor of the white race; yet, with
the growing necessities of the country,
we may hope there is room and employ
ment enough for all.-NeU York E!r.

DRAINING THE LAKEs.--A Leaven-
worth paper breaches a grand project,
by which Chicago proposes to distance
all its rivals. A ship canal, one thou
sand feet broad and sixty feet deep. is to
be constructed across the State of Illi-
nois, to some point on the Mississippi
River, enough below the level of Lake
Michigan to admit of steady flow of
water into the Mississippi. The follow
ing results are to ensue: The river st.
Lawrence will become but brook. Nj
agara Falls will stand damp wall of
rock, if indeed, the water does not flow
back over them, forced by the tremen-
dons suction of Chicago; Buffalo, Cleve-
land, Detroit and Milwaukee will be sixty
feet above the present high water mark,
and millions of acres of new land will ap-
pear in the shallow lakes. New York
would be nowhere. The largest vessels
in the world would navigate the Missis-
sippi, ''and steam tugs Of extraordinary
power"-we quote the Leavenworth pa
per-"would bring sailing vessels from
New Orleans to Chicago in four days" :"
The work will cost only $84, 900, 900; and
Chicago, with the help of Leavenworth,
will raise this little amount in few
days.
