TIE DIFFICULTY AMONG THE CHINAMEN.


The emeute which occurred on the Mil
laudon plantation on Sunday gives us a
rather unexpected insight into the char
acter of the Chinese It has been urged,
as an argument in favor of introducing
coolie labor into this country, that the
Celestials are the most docile people in
the world; that their leading passion is
hard work (the harder the better and the
lowest Of wages. These characteristics,
if they really exist, should certainly form
strong recommendation to some of our
people. A docile, industrious, easily per-
suaded race is regarded by certain politi-
cal economists as great desideratum. At
first, and for number Of years, it was
thought the Africans would answer all re-
quirements, and they were used to good
advantage for a generation or two. But
since they are no longer available for the
purpose the discovery has been made that
the Chinaman will do more work for less
pay, will eat less, wear out next to no
clothes at all, has no temper, and, conse-
quently, never shows resentment, and
will live happily and labor arduously for
an indefinite number of years on a pound
or so Of rice and quarter Of an ounce of
tea per day.
The unaccountable taste shown by the
Chinese on the Millaudon plantation for
vegetables, especially cabbages, is there
fore truly surprising. They run up bill
of some thirty odd dollars with neighbor-
ing planter for vegetables, which Mr.. Mer-
rill paid rather than have his friend loseit.
This was neighborly. But he told the
overseer or driver that the meal, rice and
tea named in the contract was all that the
men might expect in the future. In adj
dition to this unexpected increase in the
astronomical powers of the Chinese, they
also made a demand for permission to
knock off work on Saturdays at twelve
O'Clock, because the colored men employed
on the place did so. In short, Cum Wings
fellows show all the usual characteristics
Of human beings, even to the extent of
assailing their oppressors and fighting for
their rights, or for those things they
want, which amounts to about the same
thing. The lucky fact that no bloodshed,
nor even broken bones, resulted from the
disturbance, may be accounted for in
various ways Possibly the Orientals are
not Of the desperate and bloodthirsty sort
that pursues an enemy to the death, or it
may be that extreme measures We're rem
dered unnecessary by Cummings early
yielding the points in dispute At any
rate a sort Of truce has been agreed to,
and the coolies are to begin anew to-day
on a contract more satisfactory to them.
The moral we derive from this affair is,
that the Chinese entertain decided senti-
ments upon matters where their interests
are concerned, and are not willing to sac
rifce their labor and liberty in a strange
land with the sole privilege retained of
having their bodies sent back to their
native land for burial after death.

,azsEsG asFssq3sHFg Ton, ssass~ @sssisss'
Misfortune seems to have attached itself
to this legation. A year or two ago q
robbery was committed there, when the
minister lost besides money, all his
European decorations, which, however,
were returned to him by the police, who
refused to give the names of the robbers.
The minister, to his surprise, was IN
formed that a compromise was effected
with the thieves, by which they surren-
dered the plumber on condition of sharing
the reward which had been offered, with
the police, which naturally disguised him
with our police system.
A few days after this two Of his servants,
colored men, who slept together in base
ment room of the legation, were found IL
the morning dead in bed, without wound
of any kind visible on their persons; nor
was any evidence Of poison found when
stomach pumps were applied, and it re-
mains a mystery to this day how these
met with death.
The robbery and the deaths following
close upon each other, produced disa-
greeable impression on the mind Of the
minister, and since then, he has persist
emily asked for change of post, which
at length was granted, when the lamented
Paradol came to our shores. When Ber-
themy was thus relieved, he manifested
his satisfaction by making immediate pre-
partitions for sailing from New York. The
new calamity-the suicide, forced him to
retrace his steps, and to take charge again,
of what must now seem to him, an ILL
fated legation.
The Mahomedans would say that it is
under the pursuing and pernlclous glance
of the evil eye.

H. ~ = I II -
were 50 certain Of paying the whole float
ing debt with the bonds, that it was CON
fdently asserted in the Council that the
bonds were sufficient, is easily accounted
for by the fact that the pay rolls had been
excluded by the Legislature, and have
since been ordered on by the courts. The
Legislature limited the floating debt to
four classes of obligations, viz: Judg-
ments, registered certificates, warrants
and city notes used as currency.
This, Of course, left pay rolls on the
outside, but the court decided that
so doing was unconstitutional, being in
violation of vested right Therefore,
the assertion, which was perfectly true,
that the bonds were sufficient, became err
roneous when the pay roll salaries were
added. The total Floating Debt claims
presented by holders previously, had been
$2,352, OIL, which the bonds would have
covered amply at eighty cents on the dol
lar. Adding on S463, 083 of pay rolls,
gives, however, a different result. Fortu-
nately, however, the small margin that
will remain unpaid, has left the prcie Of
certificates unaffected to any material ex-
tent; while the fact that these unpaid bal
ances will be in an undisputed and finally
audited form, not subject to the suspicious
and uncertainties of registered bills, has
helped very much to keep the price up.
The transactions of yesterday were too
insignificant in amount, as far as reported,
to be detailed in this article.

France and Prussia are conterminous for
thirty or thirty-five miles. Beginning at
Basic, on the Rhine, France has Baden on
the east. At Lauterbourg, near the mouth
of the Lauter, a small stream which falls
into the Rhine nearly opposite to Carlsruhe,
the boundary trends off to the northwest,
separating France from Rhenish Bavaria
and only at Saarbruck does the Prussian
frontier begin. The dividing line termi-
mates at the Moselle, which separates Rhen-
ish Prussia from the province of Luxem-
bourg that acknowledges the sovereignty of
Holland. Continuing in a northwesterly
direction for about forty miles, the line at
length reaches the frontier Of Belgium, and
onward the line then extends until it reaches
the German Ocean between Newport and
Dunkirk,

TREATY BETwEEH FRANCE AND PRUSSIA.

TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND PRUSSIA.
according to last cable advices, the
London Times publishes and vouches for
the authenticity Of treaty submitted to
Prussia by France, Of most important
character. The whole basis Of the pro-
posed compact is mutual land grab. By
it France agrees to recognize all the terri
tory acquired by Prussia from the German
States and Austria, as consolidated and
absorbed into the North German Empire.
in return for which Prussia agrees to
facilitate the acquisition of Luxembourg
and the absorption of Belgium for France.
The latter part is of course the most
striking feature of the different propo-
sitions, and, if true, will cause almost as
much excitement as the declaration of
war has done.
So far as the outline of the document
! has been furnished to us in the kilograms,
the advantage is clearly on the side of
France. The territory which Prussia had
acquired she held by the right Of conquest,
and nothing but a great disaster would
have wrested it from her. Time and
power would probably, in the end, have
confirmed her title to the ill-gotten plum
der, in spite Of an intellectual dissent
on the part of France, for it did not
amount to more than this until the pres
ent declaration of hostilities.
This hardly seems sufficient compensa-
Eon to Prussia, when the advantages which
France will reap by such an arrangement
are considered, the annexation of Luxem-
burg and Belgium, the latter containing
population of 100000 and an army of
100000 disciplined soldiers. The Bel
gians have always relied on England to
force continental nations to respect
her neutrality and all her rights as a ma
ton, in accordance with treaty stipu-
lations. We shall see now whether Eng
land is ready to take up the sword
against such a powerful combination as
Napoleon and Bismarck, supposing this
Franco-Prussian treaty to be made. II
such an event comes to pass, our opinion
is that the British lion will be found
skulking, with his tail between his legs,
out of harms way. Notwithstanding
British desertion, the Belgians, being a
plucky people, will doubtless resort to
arms and fight hard before submitting to
humiliation. If Great Britain stands by
and sees this done, after her iterated and
reiterated declarations of armed protection
being extended to her little neighbor in
case of need, her political influence on the
Continent, or anywhere else, will be dead.
This is an inevitable result.
The news of the treaty is surprising,
but, after all, it is in logical consistency
with the character of two such men as
Bismarck and Napoleon. If they are
agreed, such an instrument is feasible, for
what power would dare to say no to such
a terrible coalition as France and Prussia,
the two most warlike and powerful ma
tons of Europe? Great Britain and the
rest of the continent combined would not
dare to pronounce that word.
Napoleon and Bismarck are practical
men, and they are doubtless now begin
ming to take practical view of the situa-
ton
