THE WAR SENTIMENT IN NEW YORK,

There was comparatively little excitement in the
city yesterday In relation to the news partly no
doubt owing the fact that there was little news OF
startling import, and still more SO because the news
announced was so indefinite that 1t was very diff
cult TO comprehend It's precise import The informa.
ton that Bazaine had eluded the Prusslans ana
formed junction with MacMahon was received as
an omen OF brighter days for the French, and the
general impression was that the Gallo cock VIII ere

How THE CoLoRED MEN VoTED.-The
San Francisco Chronicle has the fol.
lowing with relation TO the colored
voters of that city:
1t is stated that al the recent election
in this city on the railroad subsidy our
colored voters, ca approaching the
ballot-box for the first tine to exercise
their y-scquired right of suffrage,
almost invariably did SO with heads nn-
covered. Here We have an evidence Of
the appreciation of its value thar no
other class of voters has ever manifested
under similar circumstances. II is a
touching manifestation of the sacred
ness in their estimation of the rallOt,
which has been conferred upon them
as one of the results of war which
cost SO mnch blood and treasure. If
other classes possessing the ballot in
our country esteemed it as highly, it
wopld be we'll for its prosperity. We
hardly think cur women would consent
to remove their lit lie hats at the ballot
box, even to acquire the franchise by so
doing.

the following adventure, related in the San
Francisco dispatch to last evenings News ::
When the train of the Vallejo and Sacra-

passenger was seen to rise from his seat and
made a desperate jump from the car through
one of the open windows, and he fell out.
The train was stopped, and on going back to
where the man had fallen he was found sit
ting BY the track uninjured. In reply to in
quiries, he stated that he had fallen asleep
and dreamed of rsttlesnake chasing him,

and woke up with a confused idea of things
in general. He gave his name as William

Tvs CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET is the
scene Of unusual activity A telegram
dated the 10th says:

The excitement in our market for -four and
wheat YESTERDAY was something remarkable
The sales Of wheat are considerably excited
800 900 bushels, The French were large
buyers and their presence In the market led
to active speculation. A further large adj
vance is no, impossible. Great Britain. as
appears by late circulars, is not getting any
foreign wheat except from the United States.
The demand in this market for the continent
has interrupted her supplies. and she will
soon feel the want Of them; but the most i'm
portant is the falling off in the receipts from
the Lake ports, which. according to the sta
tistics, were for one week ending June 1lth,
$1,000 busn-ls of wheat and $500 barrels of
-four. Reducing the -four to wheat, makes
the whole equal to $1,000 bushels less than
for the corresponding week of last year.
This, in connection with the increased de-
mand, can hardly be overestimated.
1t seems inevitable that this state OF
affairs will put wheat and -four up to al
most famine prices BY the time the in
coming crops are all harvested. These
high prices in Chicago will cause cores
ponding high rates in California, espe-
cially in view of the short wheat crop |
in that State and unless crash fol-
laws the wild speculations which are
bound to come. next Fall will bring
-four up to snch a figure in the Nevada
market as will put big tariff on square
meals accompanied by the luxury of
wheat bread.
