NEWS OF THE DAY.

some weeks since. out repalreu Oh Iuesuos'
gives us three working cables to Europe once
more, all managed by one company.
Alexandra Dumas, Jr, has uttered a Don
mot on the woes of Paris. He describes the
great influx of strangers to that city at presen,
as ia visit to the universal exposition OF hui
man tolly.n
1t is declared In Paris that the French
Government has obtained: possession ofthe ar
chiyes of the International Society, and thai
they furnish important intelligence upon the
subject of the Communal movement.
The vote in the French Assembly for and
against the admission of the Orleans Prince
to: their seat as deputies 20 that body, was, fol
$50, against 122. This probably represents the
Orieanist strength in that body.
MIR. and Mrs. Jesse R. Grants golden wed
ding is to be celebrated to-day at son-in-law
Corbin's residence in Elizabeth, N. ]. The
President and family, the members Of the cabi-
net, and many eminent Jersey Radical poll
ticians will be present. Among the features
will be fireworks.
.Kossuth is reported to have despaired OF
the cause of human freedom In Europe, and
to talk of returning to this country to die, be-
cause it is the only country where liberty has
been from first to last preserved in+its pertec-
ton. ~
The French Government will not probably
order any further e1ecut.Jn s Of the Com
munist prisoners in its hands, except in cases
where, perhaps, crimes punishable under the
civil law can be proved against them. 1t Is
now taking advantage Of every legitimate ex-
cuse TO mitigate the punishment as much as
possible. The TRIALS are conducted with calm
ness. Probably policy has much to do with
this, as even the French enemies Of the Com
mune have muruured at tho promiscuous and
wanton slaughter that marked the entrance OF
the government troops into the city.
II statement Is made by o London journal
to the effect that there.is a n understanding
between Germany, Austria and Russia for the
preservation of the peace Of Europe. From
the present state of affairs, It would seem that
such an expressed understanding Is not mere
Iva gentle hint to the lesser powers to smoth-
er .neir ambition, if they have any, and keep
quiet, but a broader hint to England to content
herself with her shops henceforth, and expect
no more to shape events among the nations of
the continent. ,q.ga
The. Confederate cotton bondholders in
England havetbecome more hopeful of the
payment Of their claims in consequence of the
ratification of the treaty of Washington and a
meeting was held In London or June 7th to
consider the course that should be adopted.
The bondholders argue that the article Of the
treaty which provides for the reference to a
mixed commission of the claims Of British SUBJ
jects arising out of the wa. covers their case.
The Manchester Guardian, In commenting
upon the above circumstances, says. that If
there was one document that most people be-
ueved to be Of equal value with a Confederate
shipplaster 1t Is a Confederate cotton bond,
but that the holders refuse to believe in the
hopelessness OF: their case.
From louisiana comes the gratifying news
that from present indications this years sugar
crop Is expected to reach 10000 hogsheads,
which is more than a fair average yield since
the war: In 1861 the product was AS, 40 hogs
heads, but the late 'sunpleasantness' almost
completely annihilated the sugar interest of
the State, and In 1864 the production had sunk
to 666s hogsheads. With the re-establishment
of peace 1t gradually rose again, however,
and slowly recovered some of Its former Sig
nihcanee, Notwithstanding the many draw
backs and retarding influences with which 1t
necessarily had to contend, as q natural con-
sequence of the new order of things and diff
Guilty with which suitable. labor was obtained.
In 1869 the product amounted to 1000 hogs
heads, which will in all probability be for the
present year increased fully one-half.
The movement to introduce Chinese labor
In Louisiana appears to be successful. Many
OF the richest and most influential planters of
the State are engaged in 1t as stockholders in
the Louisiana Immigration Company, just or
ganlzed with a capital Of $3.50, 600, In 500
shares. A Mr.. Payne, who is. at present In
China as the agent of several Individual plant
ers, has engaged one thousand laborers in
that country, and expects to reach Louisiana
with them In time for the planting of the next
crop. They have all been selected from the
agricultural districts of China, and they have
agreed to work for eight or ten years for So
a month in gold. The Chinese at present in
Louisiana live in perfect harmony with the
negroes. They are nearly all unmarried young
men, and are neat and. excellent workmen.
They also appear to be perfectly contented.
They are paid sl3 a month in currency. Their
cabins are kept with great care and cleanli-
ness. No doubt Louisiana will soon have a
large Chinese population.
The International Society, to judge from
the statements OF one OF it's leaders In New
York, Is a formidable organization, and one
whose fundamental doctrines are sufficiently
sound and progressive to warrant a consider
able amount of martyrdom before their gene,
raj adoption is secured. It, is unfortunate for
the society that its first introduction to the IN
Initiated world was through the bloody Paris
Commune, which, although doubtless based
