The census exhibits make it appear that
the losses of the Southern States by the war
amount to 100000. This is greatly
,mler the mark. The loss of slave property
alone was much in excess of that sum. There
were 4, ,0oO, 900 of slaves, and they were placed

Deaths from hydrate Of chloral are be-
coming as frequent as from kerosene eXplo-
sions, and too much caution cannot be OBJ
served In the use of either Of those deadly
agents. Tie new drug is an effective ano-
dyne, but should not be used except when
prescribed by physician, as in certain con-
ilitions of the system it is sure to cause death.
The latest case Is that OF Henry Beags,
Young man in Brooklyn, who, becoming pros
trated by attendance on the sick bed of his
father, took dose Of the hydrate of chloral,
smaller than he had taken on previous occa-
sions, but it caused his death in few hours.
In desultory discussion OF the Washing
ton treaty In the British House OF Lords, on
Friday last, Lord Redesdale took strong
grounds against the recognition OF the So
called Alabama claims, holding that the South
ern Confederacy aud not Great Britain was
wholly responsible for all the damages COM
mitted by the Confederate cruisers. Lord
Granville admitted the gravity of the issue
raised by Lord Redesdale, and said 1t was the
duty of the government to give every atten-
tion to this view of the subject, as we'll as to
!. all other matters which would aid it in resis-
tance to the payment of these claims. The
treaty will be formally submitted to Parlia-
ment in few days, and it is apparent that 1T
will pass through severe ordeal before It IS
finally tisnosed of by that body.
The influence of the Communal movement
in Paris is deeply felt in England among the
working classes, who impressed with pretty
much the same political and social views as
the Communists, are watching with solicitude
The course of the French struggle and are
awaiting their chance. The London Morning
Post, paper OF grave dignity and not given
to sensations, in the course OF an article on
April 26, says: SIT is q fact that there is
working among the poorer classes OF the com
munity very dangerous spirit, which Is being
silently, but surely, tomented by asitators and
enthusiasts, and which, if not prudently dealt
with, may break out in lamentable manner.
The discomfort is ola kind new in England.
It is not of political, but ofa social and mate
rial character. It's that the poor have begun
to call in question the whole scheme OF society
as it exists, to cast covetous eyes upon the
property of the rich, to adopt the belief that
portion of it ought to belong to them, and to
talk of the meaps whereby they may get that
portion"
Under the head OF ''The Ku-Klux Chinee,'
the New Orleans Times of Monday, Slh instant,
has the following: lone of our coast planters,
who has number of Chinese laborers in his
