The Memphis papers are jubilant
over the announcement that two
Companies have been formed down
in that section, with large capital, to
import Chinese laborers to work on
the cotton and sugar plantations of
the South.
There is q law Of Congress on the
subject, which may affect the enter
prise to some extent, If the laws Of
Congress are held to DO in force at
the present time thereaway. The
section supposed to have bearing
upon the matter may, and probably
will, be evaded, and possibly ought
to be; but as President Grant holds
to the theory that obnoxious laws
ought to be rigidly enforced, in or
der to secure their repeal, he may
try the effect of his theory in this
very case, to the great inconvenience
Of these Contemplating Com
panies.
The Act Of Congress Of 1862 pro-
vides:
"That no citizen or citizens of the
United States, or foreigner coming
into or residing within the same,
shall, for himself or for any other
person whatever, either as master,
factor, owner, or otherwise, raise,
build, equip, load or otherwise pre-
steamship orstcam vessel, registered,
enrolled or licensed in the United
States, or any port within the same,
for tho purpose Of procuring from
China, Or any port or place therein,
or from any other port or place, the
inhabitants or subjects of China,
known as Coolies, to be transported
to any foreign country, port or place
whatever, to be disposed Of, or sold,
or transferred, for any term of years,
or for any time whatever, asservants
or apprentices, or to be held to SER
vice or labor. And if any ship or
vessel, steamship or steam vessel, be-
longing i'm whole or inpartto citizens
Of the United States, and registered,
enrolled or otherwise licensed as
| aforesaid, shall be employed for the
said purpose, or in the Coolie trade
SO called, or shall cause to be pro-
cured from China, or elsewhere, as
aforesaid, any subjects of the govern
ment Of China for the purpose of
transporting Or ldisposing OF them as
aforesaid, every such ship or vessel,
steamship or steam vessel, her tackle,
apparel, furniture and other appur-
tenances, shall be forfeited to the
United States and shall be liable to
be seized, prosecuted and condemned
in any of the Circuit or District
Courts of the United States for the
district where the said ship or vessel,
steamship or steam vessel may be
found, seized or carried"
| With other provisions imposing
penalties for every possible act of
participation in any scheme of the
character prohibited.-Gote city.

CIqrEsriIle, Ioicd.

As this-question is being discussed
in the HesteTn Rurdk, we, like others,
seek information. We have always
believed that all cereals pass through
what every one Gals "a sweat"
either in the straw or after they are
threshed. If grain is stacked very
dry, and the weather remains dry, 1T
will not sweat SO much, but it will
be longer passing through the sweat.
All threshers tell Us that grain
which is in stacks or barns must
sweat before it is in good condition
TO thresh; this takes from four to six
weeks. MilIers tell us they cannot
make good -four Of wheat before it
sweats. Warehouse men tell us that
grain which has not passed through
the sweat before threshing, is unsafe
to handle, as it is in danger OF spoil
ing if it is not kept moving. If
wheat does not sweat, will some of
the scientific writer's of the Western
Rural explain the question?

The LONDON TIMES, OF the 29th ult., has
leader commenting upon the appointment Of
Mr.. Motley and the proposed renewal Of nego-
tiations on the Alabama claims. The cable
briefly r ,ferred to this article few days since
in such terms as to excite much anxiety to see
the article in full, on the part of the mer-
chants, bankers and others, whose interests
are more or less influenced by the discussion
of the question. The article is in good tenn
per throughout, though the regret is repeat
edly expressed that the Johnson Stanley treaty
was not accepted by the Americans, ssespacial-
ly as MI. Seward Gas keen diplomatist as any
country could desire) had accepted it as final
Ity." Had the result been otherwise, the edi-
tor intimates, 'sthe United States would have
obtained treaty which good many English
people thought to involve excessive conces-
sions on our part" The article concludes as
follows eff we are invited to discuss the
question of England's right to recognize the
Southerners as belligerents, it will be for her
Majesty's Government to decide whether, after
all that has been said and written on the sub.
ject, it is worth while to revive that contro-
versy. There are limits beyond which national
courtesy cannot pass, and when we are asked
to acknowledge that an ordinary act OF national
sovereignty, necessary for the due security of
our own commerce, was an offence against the
Americans to be expiated by apologies or
payments, there cannot be much use in dis
cussion"

the various routes for Northern railroads pre-
sented the advantages OF their respective lines
on Saturday forenoon. Great confidence is
felt in the speedy completion OF tho Grand
Trunk line from Cincinnati to Chattanooga.
"A new movement is said to be on foot in
Washington, which. il successful will mate
rally strengthen the Cuban cause. Says the
Traveller correspondent: sPromiuent Ameri-
cans are endeavoring to induce the President
to take some step or make declaration
showing his approval Of the annexing Of the
Island OF s.. Domingo to the United States,
and that he is in sympathy with any move
ment which has this object in view. This
would be merely an open declaration on
the part Of the President of what he
does not hesitate to admit in private
conversation, and making, to certain
extent. an official announcement Of these
views. When this is done, it is claimed by
those who are urging this course, that Presi-
dent Baez, Of the st. Domingo Republic, will
ut once recognize the belligereucy Of Cubans,
and extend such aid as will insure their sue
cess in obtaining their independence. AS the
Island Of st. Domingo is but few hours sail
from Eastern Cuba, whore the instruction ia
the strongest, it would give the insurgents a
strong foothold from which to ship munitions
of war, and commit depredatons upon the
Spanish commerce with small vessels, which
could run out and in the harbors at pleasure.
This plan, it seems, was proposed several days
ago, but kept secret from fear it would be
frustrated. Whether it is successful or not, per-
sons wel-informed as to Cuban movements as
sert, with great confidence, that st. Domingo
will soon recognize Cuban belligerency." .se

Tho French elections.

The elections which take place on Sum
day, May 26, are causing deep excitement
In France, and four meetings in Paris of q
political character have been dispersed by
the police. AS was expected, the opposi-
ton to the government in the capital and
the chief cities is more active than ever be-
fore; but, so perfect is the machinery of
the government, and so great the iuflueno
exercised by it's officials, that it will be
almost impossible for q, candidate in the
rural districts to obtain more than re-
spectacle majority. The Emperor, in re-
moving the restrictions upon the employ
ment of workingmen, and in decreeing q
pension to the surviving veterans of the
Empire, has struck high for popular sup
port; for Napoleon is shrewd enough to
know that the intelligent portion of the
people are becoming weary Of his system of
personal government, and that il is time .c
ooncede to them a larger share of power and
restore at least the form of parliamentary
freedom. This can only be done in legis-
lative assembly which oan be relied on
never to exercise its privileges in persist
ent opposition to his interests and will.
Hence his efforts not to secure q govern
ment success, whioh is certain, but to pre-
vent the opposition from adding to their
strength by eieoting additional members.
