It is apprchcndcd by shippers in
New York that, as France is so great
ly superior to Prussia in Naval force,
Napoleon will stretch his authority
as far as possible in regard to the
second and third article of the "Paris
Declaration," which provides that the
neutral flag covers cnemys goods,
with the exception Of contraband of
war;" and that neutral goods not
contraband arc not liable to capture
under an enemys flag. 1t is believed
that tho French Government will try
to render these provisions Of little
effect by including everything posi-
bic under the. term contraband; and
there are apprehensions OF trouble
on this account.

THE PORT ROYAL RAILROAD IN
TROUBLE.
Shameful Maltreatment. Of Laborers.


Yesterday large number Of hands
recently employed on tho Augusta
division Of tho Port Royal Railroad
having ceased work, reached this city
and wcro congrogatcd around the
Office of Mcssrs. George D. Chapman
d Co., contractors, on Ellis street,
clamorous for tho payment Of the
wages due them for ono or two
months labor, which, however, they
failed to get. The condition Of these
1aborcrs, rs they represent, and as
:Leir appearance indicates, truly ap-
peals to the sympathy of the commu-
nifty. Many Of them are in a strange
city, without money and without food,
their physical powers in measure
exhausted by tho heavy labor in
which they have been engaged dur
ing Tho recent heated term. Ono of
these unfortunate mon, doubtless un-
der tho combined effects of want of
food and despair produced by the con-
dition in which he found himself, sank
down upon tho pavement near the
contractors office, from which position
he was taken by carriage kindly
furnished by Alderman Pournellc, and
conveyed to the City Hospital for
Treatment. Application was also
made in case Of others, not quito re-
duced to the samo extremity as that
of the man above referred to, but in
situation from which only inhuman-
ity could turn without sympathy.
From the muttering Of the labor
ers, black and white, for tho payment
Of their hard-earncd claims, and their
Seemingly excited gestures as they
grouped contiguous to tho Office of
the contractors, apprehensions were
aroused that tho cry Of "brcad or
blood" might be raised against tho
contractors. Informed Of the State
of affairs, as measure of prosecution.
Chief Of Police Christian and Lieu
tenant King visited tho vicinity twice
or three times during tho day and
conferred with tho seeming leaders
among the laborers, who pledg god their
exertions against q row in tho city
The laborers acquiesced in preserving
the peace and good order Of tho city,
and for hungry men they certainly
behaved well, in Wow Of the fact that
they were justly incenscd by q failure
to receive tho money for which they
had labored SO hard.
The laborers bring intelligence that
the hands on this end OF tho road
for at least a distance of twenty-o ne
miles from the city, to the number of
about two or three hundred, have

tions and pay giving out, and are

courtesy Of their country to passers

THE CONSTITUTION-F CAR
ROLL

To the Editors of the Union and American.
Hollow Rock, Carroll County March l,
1S70.-To- day we had meeting at this
place that the people might have chance TO
hear the new Constitution discussed.
There was a goodly number of the honest
yeomanry, Notwithstanding the weather
was rather fOrbidding, and the day will
be esteemed, by some at least, as a day
long worthy of remembrance.
The speakers were DR.. W. M. Wright,
our late delegate to the Convention, and
A. F. Estes, Esq, formerly of your city.
The speakers were listened to with pa
tience and close attention, and there is
no doubt but that all were convinced that
there was nothing in the proposed Constl-
tuition incompatible with q just and true
republican government.
DIR. w. detailed the reasons debating
the proposed amendments, and although
but little experienced in public debate, he
shown himself an acute, bold, independ-
ent and happy thinker. His speech was
filed with good old JeffersOnIan ideas OF
government. His diction was chaste and
nervous, and his sentences were rounded
with as much music as If they had slipped
the lips of Sheridan.
Mr.. Estes spoke with his accustomed
fluency and earnestness, but he needs nc
commentator among those who know
him.
Our people are in earnest and yoJ
may look out for grand majority fol
for the new Constitution in old Carroll
If the balance of the State shall Dc
what we are determined to do, Tennes
see will soon be redeemed from the bligh
and mildew of Radical rule. 80 mot
