RECRUITING IN NEW YORK.

The New York Sun of Saturday says:
The recruiting in aid of the cause OF
Cuban Independence is progressing rap
idly, and with great success, net only
in this city, but Throughout the whole
country. During the early part Of the
present week vessel succeeded in get
ting away with force OF 320 men, who
ere this have been safely landed on. the
island of Cul,a. They are now, no, doubt
aiding the i,ubans in the field.
The several headquarters in this city,
Brooklyn, Jersey city, and Hoboken
are overrun with applicants, mostly
young men, who are anxious to enlist.
Many of them have served, with distiuc-
ten during the late war. Great precau-
ten is used, however, in the selection
of ofrecruits. None but strong and healthy
meu are taken. a large number of Gu
bans, citizens Of the United States, have
taken up arms in behalf of Cuban free
dom We have been informed that over
10000 have already been enlisted, many
of whom are now in active service.

The London Times estimated the
amount of United States bonds held in
England at si56, ,O0O, 900; and now a cor
respondent of the New York World
thinks that the whole amount held in
Europe is s2t1 .000, 900, or some $l.4O0..
900, ,0O0 in our greenback currency. which
is probably an exaggerated estimate.

THE New York State Temperance

THE New York State Temperance
Convention discorIntenances the idea OF
a separate political organization, a large
majority voting down proposition to
make nominations. The two parties
were requested 60 present candidates
pledged to prohibition, with the under
standing that their failure to doso would
call third ticket into the local field
when necessary.

General Alcorn, United States Sena-
tor elect, from Mississippi, and the most
extensive cotton grower but one in all
the South, has been making a speech or
the cultivation of that staple, and the
importance discriminating its production
One of the expedients he proposes is the
construction and servation by the gov
ernment of the Mississippi levees,
whereby, as he claims, 10000, 600 acres
of the finest cotton lands on the face of
the earth would be reclaimed and pro-
tected. These soils average a yield OF
1,500 to 5000 pounds of CO, ton per acre.
This increased production, he contends,
would enable US, in few years, not only
TO fill all those market vacancies that
now tempt foreign rivalry, but will ena-
ble us to make that rivalry forever inn
possible, by breaking down the present
prices, under cover of which it now
seeks to obtain a permanent footing.

hour laws are necessary. It-is true two
hours day more of freedom from labor
might result in good to few of the in
dustrious and strong willed, but even
these would probably say that they
could not afford to have the purchasing
power of their weeks wages reduced
over one-sixth for the sake of that free
dom Since the war the wages of certain
mechanics have been largely increased
some now earning their $50 and $40
per week; but we have not heard nf any
general increase in the prosperity of
this class as'the result. When incomes
have increased. expenses have usually
risenin proportion, so that the mechanic
has, at the years end, been no richer
for having received $40 per week, than
he was when he received but $40. The
trnth is, that the workingmen have
been deceived by a fallacy. There is no
reason why they should work even
eight hours per day if they so desire,
aud we doubt not that we shall soon
near that six hours is the normal period
laboring man can afford to be idle two
or even four hour hours cut of the usual
ten of days work, it is certainly no
ones business, but he must not expect
to enjoy this exemption from toll at
other peoples expense. If he can pay
fer being idle in the increased cost Of
articles he must buy, well and good; but
he..shoald not ask the non-prsducing
classes to stand in the gap while he en-
Joys himself. And still this is precisely
what the present law of Congress does.
The people with incomes AMI property
will have to pay heavier taxes, because
eur wise legislators have seenfit to make
present he'Gevernmen employees
p{-over q sday,s work out of the week
add thus senhaneed the cost ofall articles
af their producing. We are not sur
prised at the action of Congress, but we
de warn the workingmen ofthe country
that even could their pet system be ex-
tended over the whole land, without
any corresponding decrease in wages,

The report of the Professorate was taken up
in order, and SO much as referred to the The
ological Seminary at New Brunswick was

VIENNA, June st is said the Austrian
Government refuses to decide in the matter
of the neutrality of the Suez Canal without
the advice and cooperation of France.
MADRID, June S.-The new constitution has
been promulgated in all the provinces Per-
feet order prevails throughout the country.
kilograms have been received from Espinar,
Acting Captain General of Cuba, counter
manding the previous order for reinforce
ments, and this is accepted as an indication of
an improved state of affairs ON that island
and gave great satisfaction.
PARIS, June S-The results in fifteen addi-
tioNal elections by the ballot have been de-
clared. Seven official and eight opposition
candidates were elected. Among the sue
cessful candidates are NM. Latour and Du-
moulin.
Last night, about u o'clock, great crowds
gathered in the Quarter Montmartre, and the
police were obliged to use force in dispensing
them. Some were injured, and many arrests
We're made, but the people finally retired to
their homes and quiet was restored.
A scene of disorder also occurred in front
of the Hotel de Vile, where many persons
were injured and a large number arrested.
The total number of arrests made last night
in consequence of these disturbances was one
hundred and twenty.
LONDON, June S.-The Times to-day refers to
the fact that some of the Tory Peers declined
to follow the policy in regard to the Irish
| Church bill determined upon by the majority
at their meeting last Saturday, and trusts that
the danger of a collision is past. The expert
ence of the last two days reaffirms the truth
that on direct issue the Lords must allow
the national will to prevail. The present as
| pect indicates the passage of the bill to its
second reading by a small majority. The
| same paper, in an article on the French cleo
tions, points to the fact that 3, 800 600 French
men are voting in opposition to only 1, OOO, 600
| who support the Government. Whatever re-
latlye strength the parties may have IN the
| Corps Legislatif this is the significant result
OF universal suffrage, and is bound to lntu-
ence the entire policy of the French Govern
ment.
The Teleg,aph, referring to the attitude of
the House of Lords, says:-''Ihe nation must
govern the nation. To this Lord Derby and
other peers assented, when last year they
wanted the judgment of the nation ON the
Suspensory bill. The peers now may well ac-
cept the jurisdiction to which they appealed -
The N6lcS has an editorial on the Alabama
controversy. 1t believes the storm OF feeling
is clearing away, and says:-"We are now
about ready to deal with facts Americans
have forgotten facts; they recollect untrlendly
words, but disregard the memory OF friendly
deeds. Great Britain is ready to bear her
own responsibility, but when charged with all
the damage done TO American commerce
during the late war; she must remind Ameri-
cans that only a small part of the damage lies
at her door, or will be admitted by her.
In the House of Lords, to night Earl III r
rowley gave notice that he should move tat
