FOREIGN SUMMARY.

PARIS, May 9.-The city of Paris gives
a maIorily of 5000 votes against the EN-
peror. The returns received during the
early part of the day, including those from
Paris, foot up the following result; Ayes,
8, ,lS0, 600; noes, ], ,I30, 600. The official es-
siimate of the final result is as follows:
Ayes, 6,5O0, 600; noes, 100000. The cities
Of Lyons, ,Marseilles, Tours and Bordeaux
give majority of nays.
Full returns have not been received, bT
enough is known to make certain that the
Government has been sustained by an
immense majority. Up to this hour IL
stands as follows: Yes, about q, ,4O0, 600;
" No." about $780, 900. The city is still
tranquil. The morning journals have ed
itOrials ON the result of the voting yester-
day, and comment particularly on the
vote of the army. The vote of the seventh
battalion of ohasseurs was about equally
divided. At barracks Eugene, the result
shows 1862 "Yes" and ll2l mo" Twenty
Ofthe Cent. Guards voted mo-" only l50 OF
Garde de Paris voted ''no." 1t is reported
that two of the regiments of Vincennes
refused to vote at ali. 1t is computed that
the soldiers in Paris voted about as fol-
lows: Yes, 3, 1000; no, 5000. The news
papers of the city to-day announce the
marriage at Pace of Gustaye Latitte to Kate
Vanderbilt, daughter of Commodore Van
derbilt, of New York.
PARIS, May 9-Midnight.-The official
returns from the vote of yesterday on the
plebiscite, as far as can be ascertained,
give as the result, 6,700,0 for the pie
biscite against ], 400, 900. The complete
vote of the nation has not yet been ascer-
tanned, but the receipt of further returns
will not, it is said, materially change the
above result. The great measure having
been reached and finally settled, all ex-
citement has subsidized, and public inter
est in the matter is fast decreasing.
LONDON, May 9.-The anticipated re-
ductIon ON the duties on iron by the
United States causes great activity in the
iron regions of Wales.

WE have been shown a very beau.
tiiul sample Of what is called "silk
cotton" which for fneness and gloss
is so excellent as not to be inappro-
priately named. Now that the Sea
Island descriptions are found to be
less profitable than formerly, this de-
scription will be one Of the finest in the
list Of substitutes which are to take
its place. The length and strength OF
staple is about the average of the best
upland cOttOns and the texture deli
cate enough for the production of the
very finest fabrics manufactured. II is
impossible TO be excclled as to quality
and IS pronounced, by those who have
cultivated it extensively, abundant in
the yield, reaching a bale to the acre
on good land. 1t sold in New Orleans
last winter at FIVE cents above the
quotations. The producer in Missis-
sippi who has the seed for sale will
send US an advertisement in a few
days, when we may notice it further.
As we are producing less quantity
than formerly, we shall find it for our
interest 10 improve our staple as much
as possible.

pressed on the part of intelligent men,
whether merchants, manufacturers,
professional men or gentlemen of res
pectabIe information from the country.
The absurdity of taxing, in excess Of
other classes, any business, which de-
serves to be encouraged rather than
repressed, is as patent as the light OF
the sun to men who have eyes to see.
Yet the State Convention authorizes
the ~infiction Of a penalty on mer-
chants in the discretion of the Legis-
lature. As they except agriculture,
while they punish commerce, we sup
pose the distinguished dignitaries re-
gard the cultivation of thes soil as an in
nocent pursuit; or, because the farmers
have more votes, they have thought
it prudent to exempt and encourage
them in it. What a flourishing State
we shall have, when, by taxing all
the merchants, peddlers, shewmen,
doctors, lawyers and preachers to a
greater extent than farmers, all those
engaged in these perniciOus occupa-
tions shall be driven to the plOw!
What a prOdigiOus mischief would re-
suit from allowing such equality in
the public burdens as will encourage
every man to go into the business for
which he is best qualified! And when
every man is forced in self-prOtection
to turn farmer, what an accession to
the products of the soil; all being ac-
tual producers, and none being con-
sumers, except of what they produce!
Our Nashville wiseacres have fallen
on a plan of e~nriching the State be-
yOnd redemption. When their plan
is fully executed we shall be rid of all
such pests as merchants and peddlers,
for all will desire to sell and none to
buy. That will clog the wheels of
commerce so effectually that we shall
be able to get rid Of it forever. The
wisdom of this age, as compared with
the sold fOgyism" of former years, is
astonishing. Some people have been
iIl-natured enough to say "would to
GOD we had had no Convention"
But we have sent our SOLOMONs to
Nashville, and they have won for US
the great distinction of dealing with
the public prosperity on the show not
to do it" plan, which vas rarely if
ever attempted before. We have
"glory enough for ole day" If the
home-foIks do not like it-they can
vote il down.

FROM our report of the proceedings
Of a meeting at the Peabody Hotel,
held for the purpose Of initiating
measures to erect a monument to the
honor of the prominent General and
hero of the late war, SToNEwALL
JACKSON, our readers are already in
possession of the facts as to the organ
ization effected. The meeting was
well attended, and enthusiastic inter
est manifested. Committees were APP
pointed to canvass every ward in the
city for subscriptions, who are ex-
pected to go energetically to work,
and an address to the public will be
issued. Other cities are moving, and
the mercantile classes, and the liberal
steamboat officers, who are usually
foremost in every project which looks
to the honor or the interest of the
community, have taken the matter
up with such zeal that success is not
problematical. The fund raised will
no doubt be much larger than will be
required to make one of the most SUI
perb monuments ever erected. Be
yOnd that, whatever is raised will be
appropriated to make the widow COM
Portable, and to be distributed among
Confederate widows and orphans gen.
orally. The proceeding thus initiated
will, we hope, be more successful for
benevolent purposes than it would be
if the monument was not made the
conspicuous figure of the outline. We
hope the country papers will take the
matter up and make it a great success
throughout Tennessee and the South.

THE question Of the authorship Of
the negro franchise is now up for dis
cussion in the United States Senate,
SUMNER and BINGHAM alike claim
ing the honor Of its paternity. This
brings Us back to the days when, in
Mississippi, HAGAN and MCNUTTc con-
tested for the glory Of having taken the
initiative in repudiating the indebted
ness Of the State for money, which,
being borrowed on its credit, had been
spent by its citizens. Some glory in
horses, and some in chariots; some in
negro afinities, and some in sharping.
SUMNER is not ashamed to boast his
agency in " watering" or linking, the
franchise. His head was a little soft,
even before Brooks took him in hand
and knocked the bump Of mOdesty in.
He has been in a hydrOcephalous con-
diton ever since, and rather affected
with the "swell head" He did his
best TO prove his title to the distin-
guished paternity, but the records
were quoted on him too strong in IA
vor Of BINGHAM, and he went down
under fresh blows from Senators STEW
ART and TRUMBULL, with the sting
ing addition that he had wasted am
hour and a half of the precious time
Of the Senate in recOunting his own
doughty-deeds, when that time should
be devoted to the business Of recon-
struction. STEWART charged him
with being ga sort Of Senatorial pom
tiff" and "trying to infict his infalli-
bic bullsn on that body, while he never
had provided a single measure which
had ''found its way into the statute
books" because SUMMERS head was
$50 erammed with egotistical and aeri-
al sensations that he had no brains for
practical legislation" All in all,
SUMNER retreated "c~hop-faIlen" and
bruised about the 'head and Shout
dersp by the blows Of the Radical
senators, so as to remind him Of his
South Carolina friend. His day of
domination in the Senate is over. The
Democrats did not participate in the
eastieation. 1t is said he who cannot
take a Joke should not give one. SUM
NrR can do both. He has made Sen
stors nspring to the crack Of his
rhetorical whip-Iash," and he has
curled up and taken the same thing
PATIENTLY whenever it was applied.
