We find the following late 3 urepean newt
i in The Sacramento Unisn Of the END inst.
PANS, December zl-Evening.-A dis
patch from we'll informed sources at Md
rid, says it is asserted that the Provisional
Government, at the next sitting of the Cor.
ties, will fix a period Of delay beyond which
they will not persist in advocating the can
didature of the Duke Of Genoa. il, before the
expiration of that time, the King of Italy
don't officially accept the crown for the
Prince.
There is q rumor abroad that reconciia-
ton has taken place between Montpensier
and Queen Isabella. A son of the Duke OF
Montpensier was i'll, which occasloned an
exchange of dispatches between Isabella and
the Duchess, and a reconciliation followed.
This rumor gives rise to much speculation.
and should it prove true, new political com
binations may be looked for. A plan is
already talked of for placing the Prince of
Asturias on the throne, under the regency
of Montpensier. 1t is generally believed the
Unionists will cosie>ce again with the pro-
gressi0Iists, should this news be bonfrmed.
Senator Hpnricheuvex, and Prefecr De-
pont, of Rouen, forme-ly Councillor Of
State, and at one time connected with the
Ministry of the Interior, have been sum
moned to Paris. 1t is rumored they will
enter the Ministry.
II is not true that the French Government
has made overtures for a general disarEa-
menf to Prussia, Austria and Russia. The
French Government has taken no steps
whatever in that direction.

economic principles. Thus, one in Boston,
the massachusetts State Prison. clears
something like 95. 00O d year out of the
forced labour of lis inmates. All the
convicts are there engaged 10 some useful
work. Some OF them are employed 10 the
foundry, others make iron bedsteads,
brushes, lamps, whips, &c. The expen-
SEES of this prison for the year 1866-1067
were about 922, 900, while the receipts
from the sale of articles manufactured
were over EFT, 900. This seems to my
mind the correct theory of imprisonment,
to let society get something back out Of
what it has lost by its criminals, and not
be Gned as much for keeping them under
lock and key as it costs to leave them at
large.
After all, perhaps, the most interesting
question for English workmen is not The
morality, piety, or culture Of their fellows
in America, but will they be likely to
better themselves by going there? think
most of them will. | think, taking all
things into consideration, most people
who have no property would be more
likely to get some 10 the United States
than here. 1t should, however, be borne
IN mind that precisely TIE Same sort of
people who improve their position some
what here improve it there, only they get
on faster and further. Self-deniaI, energy,
and all the other helps to fortune, seem
everywhere to be gifts confined to the
comparatively few, and therefore the poor
will always be with the Americans as with
US. The great majority Of the human
race spend exactly as much as they earn,
and although perhaps more 'new leaves
are turned over, in what may par eTceI-
JenCe be termed the land ofgood intentions,
the rule will in most cases be found TO
hold, that those who have never saved
money here will not do it there, and those
who are content to serve a master-as
why shouldn't they be?-in England, will
have to be "bossed' in America.
1t is entirely according to a mans tenn
permanent whether, on the whole, he gets
more satisfaction out of life as an arranger
or one who has matters arranged for him,
whether he serves or is served. All men
like to command, but al are not equally
fond of ease. Taking it, then, for granted
that a man intends to live by his labour,
under the direction Of others, l think un-
skilled Iabourers of every description,
agricultural labourers especially, would
do we'll to 60 to the United States. | say
the United States, instead of America,
advisedly, because, from all I have heard
and the little I saw of Canada, I think
emigration there for Englishmen about as
mistaken a proceeding as can we'll be i'm
agined. Very few of the men sent out
lately will remain in the Dominion they
will cross over into the States as naturally

winter is SO long, aud the umu}yr 50 hot,
aad life as a whole is so much less COM
Portable in the great cities OF the Union
than here, and ] think the difference De-
tween the two rates Of wages Is very
nearly balanced by the high prices of
provisions, clothing, and house,rent. An
agricultural Iabourer can always find work
and treble the pay he gets here. In five
years, with ordinary industry and economy,
he may be The proprietor of a good farm.
In Iowa, and | dare say in other States,
there are farmers who will build a house
for any steady man with a family, lend
him implements, cattle, and seeds, and
receive their rent in the shape of portion
of the crops. There are a great many of
these small-tarm tenants, and they gen.
orally manage TO save money enough in d
few years to emancipate themselves from
their landlords, who then fence in fresh
farms and seek new tenants. So vast is
the field of labour for the agr~iculturists,
that if all the farm labourers in Great
Britain could be Landed in America this
year, every man ofthem could go to work
at once and be found next autumn har-
veStlug. 1t is an Undesirable sensation
to roll IN a railway car over hundreds of
miles of soft springy soil covered with
rich grass, and to know that the meadow
stretches as far in every direction, where
no man ever lays the sickle or inserts IA
spade. If our "bold peasantry" knew
their true interests, every one of their
places here would very soon have to be
supplied.

find work in the United States. They
should not stop in the large cities, but
push on into the small and rising ones.
Railway eXcavators, too, are always on
demand, at rates varying from six shiI-
llngs to seven and slxpence a day. Ia
every large town pIacards are to be seen
posted up announcing the want of so ma
ny thousands of these men. [ was told,
however, by more than one English nav
Wy whom | found at work on American
railways, that they are more driven and
have to work harder in the States than
in England. "They don't swear at yer so
much as our CANCERS does at home, but
they've got a quiet way O. continually
showing yer on like, till it almost breaks
yer art to keep up to the work" said one
Of these to me. Another informed me
that in breaking up new ground there was
a system of picking out the very strongest
man of the gang, and putting him to work
in front, while the next strongest was Sc
lected for the rear, and then urging on the

bottles on a row in the shop, they are
kept in a cupboard at the back, and the
constant reminder that an illegal thing is
being done when a glass of whisky is sold
has, | am persuaded, a more ~salutary effect
in the long run, Than the natural desire
for ''forbidden fruit" which is more spas
modic than lasting, has power to neutra-
lie. A man, too, does not like to be for
ever asking a favour, for it is one to be
served with spirits where the sale Is pro-
hibited. There are more deaths in Anne
RIGA from delirium tremenS than in Eng
land but this can be accounted for in
many ways. Climate especially alters
the conditions under which hard drinking
may be INDUCED in with impunlty, and
the temperament of a people makes a diff
ference. In 1860 it was found that SIS
men and 81 women had fallen victims TO

however, how many of these were people
newly arrived from other countries.

any great scale into this country. | al

persons who labour under the disease of
drunkenness are sent for scientific treat
ment and exhortation. Some patients are
committed to these places by the au-
thorities, and Others sent there by friends.
| was told that the results were very en-
couraging, cases Of complete reformation
being quite common. [ went over one of
the-Iargest of these buildings at Ward
Island, which, with a sardonlc appropri-
ateness of site, looks out upon "Hell
Gate" in New York Bay. 1t is a fine
building, of about 500 feeti in length. with
the interior admirably arranged and COM
pletely fitted for the purpose it is designed
for. Strong padded cells for the more
violent of the inmates were the only I'M
comfortable-Iooking apartments to be
seen, while some seventy rooms for private
patients were quite luXuriously furnished.
There is also a chapel with five or six
hundred seats, where a service is held
every day. When I was there, there
happened TO be only some fifty or sixty
inebriates, on whose woebegone and sot-
fish appearance it will be unnecessary to
dwell. The rest of the space in the hos
pital was temporarily devoted to a num-
Der of sick children.
The whole American system in dealing
with fallen humanity seems based more
upon Christian charity than ours is. In
the United States a criminal is regarded
as a patient whose moral nature is sick, a
fever-stricken brother to be kept apart
and restrained, but also to be cured.

istration Of chloroform to criminals about

The China Trade and Pacific Railroad
Erei9htS,
From the Chicago Tribune, June 1o,l

/ From the Chicago Tribune, June 10,
As clue to the immense opening
which would be given to our trade and
manufactures, if the Pacific Railroad
freights could be reduced to point at
which they could compete with the
longer ocean routes, we cite some facts
relative to the commerce of China with
England and the United States, as given
by c. G. Coffin, in his new book of
Asiatic travel, which tell their own story.
Our annual importation of tea from
China ranges at from $1,000, 600 to
40, 900, 900 pounds. In 1857, we i'm
ported S7,5l0,066 worth of tea, and
nearly enough of the other products 70
pay for all our exports to China, which
amounted TO only S2ss, 900 in value.
The entire balance of seven and half
millions we paid in silver. Great
Britain, on the other hand, imported
twice as much tea as We, and yet still
brought the Chinese largely in her debt,
and made them pay balance of over
$50 900, 600 in specie. Of England's
exports to China, about $4,000, 900
worth were gray cotton cloths, which
can be produced as cheaply in the
United States as anywhere in the
world, but in which we are un-
able to compete with English shippers
in the Chinese markets, not because we
cannot manufacture them so we'll, but
because we do not pack them as safely
and transport them as chenply. 1t may
be said that the silver we produce in
Nevada is as much a product Of our
industry as the cottons are of English
industry. That would be true if we
had not been for eight years exporting
specie largely in excess of our produc-
ton. In view of this fact, if we could
grasp England's trade with China 10
cotton and other manufactures, or a |
considerable portion of it, it would add
by so much TO the aggregate industry |
of the country, and lessen the drain of
specie 10 corresponding extent. |
Sooner or later, as the condition of our
return to specie payments, our trade
with the outer world in general must
leave such q balance in our faver that
the precious metals may accumulate
here in a degree sufficient to make re-
sumption and REDEEM ption in specie pos
sible and in no part OF the world
opens so large an opportunity fer
increased commerce as with Eastern
As STA, if ourmeans oftransit are brought
within the possibilities Of commerce.

CHAMPION PIGHEADs.-If tke-e is any
spot on earth that can claim the right
to boast of possessing the class of peo-
pie worthy of the above title, it is that
portion of Brooklyn known as William,
sburg. There are just seven men in
that place who have the very best claim
TO it, and the district in which they
reside ought to be proud of them.
There were six jnrymen holding an
inquest over the body of man named
STRICKLAND, who was shot by his brother
in-law, named Waters, in self defense.
The wife of Waters, very estimable
woman, had once given her evidence
before them, but last hight, as late as
eleven o'clock, they took it into their
heads that further evidence from her
was necessary. Her physician told
them it was impossible, as she was
then in the pains of maternity. They
insisted upon seeing her, and referred
to the Coroner to enforce their right.
Would any decent man or woman be-
lieve it this thing called Coroner

but she was unable to testify. Will

JIM NYE AND BILL SrEwARr.-Tht
Washington letter writer to the Chi
cago Tribune, under the above bead
ing, has the following sketch of the
Nevada Senators
Stewart and Nye are both New York
ers, born within fifty miles of one an
other {; but Stewart is only forty-two
years old, and Nye is fifty-four. They
live respectively at the neighboring
| Virginia aud Carson cities, twelve hours
by rail from San Francisco. Nye, or
Jim Nye, as he likes to call himself, is
a strange specimen of what New York
politicians can do with a poetic nature.
| He is partly Irish and partly French in
origin, a man of large frame and appe
titles, a native orator, with most i'm
pressive appearance hair long, luxu-
RANT, and prematurely whitened, fat,
priest like face, prominent brows, no
beard, large BLUSH gray eyes, large
mouth filed with white teeth, and a
stoutish, genteel body. He is the best
speaker on instantaneous occasions in
the United Staets Senate. He has the
quality of imagination, of which that
body is almost destitute-Sumner hav-
ing a little, Nye having all the rest
Dick Yates has good deal of Nye's
readiness; but none of his imagination
Yates and Nye both appeal to the deity
in every aPostrophe, and every other
sentence is an apostrophe with both of
them. But Yates expires with an inv o.
cation Nye is vivid and fertile in de-
scription, full of Irish humor, broad
exaggeration, equal TO the most exalted
buncombe and vivid in bis mastery of
forensic demagoguery. His cunning
aud his good nature glide into and con
ceal each other. The redeeming ele-
ment of his nature is his early and pcs
tive convictions upon the slavery ques-
tlon, which go back to the times of
Van Buren, and the Free Sellers, TWEEN
ty years ago. Many a man is dead and
buried on the field of battle who beard
the fiery uttersnces OF Jim Nye in his
childhood, and parted links with slav-
cry from that moment. He probably
delivered four or FIVE hundred speeches
on this question. and supported his
rhetoric with good deal of physical
courage. He is happiest when he leaves
human rights, upon questions of SEN
suousness-the beauty of woman, the
charms oflove, the inviolability offriend-
ship, and those other pleasant platl-
tudes which are always in order, like
corkscrew or pair of slippers. For
free-and-essy supper o. dinner, he is
the best man in the Senate to invite
out. As politician he is good out
rider and d" stumper ~; but his vanity
is often stronger than his discretion.
AS an opponent in debate be is some
lines magnanimous, but frequently
blisteripg and bilious, with hunor be-
tween, like thunderclaps in sunshine.
He said in my presence one day about
Sprague, after describing him
{. can't hit a canary bird like that
with a cannon ball.
And, as l afterward observed, his
speech upon Sprague was pleasant and
forbearing, and knowing Nye's vigor
and slyness of reparsee as I did, it !
raised him in my estimation vastly.
Stewart is tail, angular, Flemish |
bearded man, of shining tempera-
nent, practical ambition and extraordi-
nary industry.
