WEDNESDAY, JULY 26 1871
Delegates Nominated i'm the Tenth Ward.

A very large meeting of the members of
the Tenth Ward Republican Club took place
last night President John III. Bowen
in the chair. After the transaction of some
business of interest to the club the chair
man announced that nominations for can
didates to represent the club in the State
convention were in order. The following
gentlemen were then nominated: Governor
II. c. Warmoth, E. P. Ducloslange, F. C.
Remick, o. M. Redon, Peter Joseph, j. w.
Fairfax and j. d. OConnelI.
The meeting was very harmonious, and
unanimous in support of the State admins
tration. The friends of the Governor will
make strong rally on the seventh of Au-
gust, and will win, of course.
Mr.. Remick was called upon for a speech.
but he pleaded fatigue in consequence of
arduous duties in the Council, and did not
detain the club very long. What he said,
however, was well received
Messrs. Blanchard, Fairfax. Joseph and
j. d. OConnell were also loudly called
upon, and severally addressed the club
with their characteristic earnestness and
ability.

American Officers i'm Egypt
Washington dispatch saws:

/
A South Carolina ex-rebel officer, who has
arrived here after considerable service in
the army of the Khedive, gives this infor-
nation of Americans in his army:
General W. W. Loring is brigadier gen.
| eral, commanding d division, and is com
mandant of the city of Alexandria; Gen
eral G. P. Stone is chief of the staff of the
| general army, with the rank of brigadier
| general; General P. T. Matte is chief of
statf-the Viceroy's personal staff-with the
| rank of major general; General Libby is
chief of artillery, with the rank of brigadier
general Colonel Sparrow Purdy, of Cali
tornia, is colonel of engineers, and is now at
work in Upper Egypt; Colonel Thomas
Rhett, of South Carolina, is chief of ord
nance, and is now at work building large
powder works at Cairo; Mr.. McComb, the
mason, is major in the artillery; and be-
sides these officers, General REYNOLDS and
son, Colonel Frank Reynolds, have COM
missions under the Khedive. l was a cap
tain on the staff, with the rank of lieutenant
colonel.
After declaring the Egyptians an army of
towards, he says: Egypt is the most corrupt
country in the world. Men rise to wealth
and position by bartering the virtue OF their
wives, and every official has his price. If
you want the khedive to do anything for
you there is Pasha in the room looking
like whipped dog. If the Khedive says to
the Pasha "see that this is done,7 the fellow
scoops up the dust with his hands and
touches his forehead with it, and then says,
thy will is law. but once he gets on the
outside of the door the Pasha straightens
out and says: Dog how dare you approach
the Khedve without my permission You
shall not have any such thing" and he will
not have the order granted unless you bribe
him, and will prevent you seeing the Khe-
dive again.
He states that the slave trade is extern
sively carried on; not publicly, though you
can purchase Georgian girl Of the highest
girls do not fetch more than $780, These
girls are perfectly satisfied with their lot;
indeed they have no idea of any other life.

Chinese Labor in Cuba.

Mrs. Helen S. Conant writes in HarDey's
| Nonthiy:
Large numbers of Cinnamon are sent out
to labor on the sugar plantations imme-
dlately on their arrival in Cuba They
prove efficient labOrers, and as they have
no expenses, and command very good
wages, they accumulate in very few wears
funds sufficient to allow them to carry ont
the cherished prOject-a return to their
native land. The Chinese, however, are
born gamblers; and many poor fellow
who comes to Havana from the country to
purchase his ticket for home loses the
saving OF years in single night, and dooms
himself to still further toll; or turning to
life of crime, he spends his days in the
city prison or chain gang, or brings the
drama OF his life TO close on the garrotino
scatfold at the Punta.
As cigar and cigarette makers the Chinese
are unsurpassed, and they contribute
largely to the success of that branch of
industry in Havana The celebrated cigar
ette factory of La Honradez EMPLOYS a
great number of Cinnamon for the prepare,
ton of its dainty wares. The WOrkmen
are, for the most part. lodged and fed in
the building. Their sleeping apartment is,
like the cabin of large emigrant shin.
full OF berths in tiers, with passage-ways
round among them, but everything arranged
with great regard to cleanliness and yentil-
alton. By many of the berths hang en-
Dlems OF curious devices and printed cards
in Chinese-probably charms to secure un-
disturbed repose to the occupant. Going
into the long work room in this establish
ment, one is singularly impressed by the
curious appearance of the workmen, who,
at first slght-lndeed, at second sight too
appear to be all women. Dressed in long
blue or nankeen gowns, with hair braided
and wound round and round the head. their
almond-shaped eyes steadily fastened on
the work in hand, they appear like long
rows of automatons all worked by single
wire, rather than thinking, living men. To
what extent they are thinking men is still
an open question. The problem of poor
John Chinaman has been proposed to this
generation, but more difficult subject was
never brought forward. Unless JOHNNY
himself works it out by quiet, persistent
labor, we fear the solution will always re-
main in the future.

The law requires that one-half of the in
creased circulation shall be apportioned
among those States not having an excess
already, according to population, and one
half, according to the existing banking
capital, resources and business of each
State and Territory. The census returns
of the valuation of property and banking
capital have not yet been receive ed, and the
proportion of circulation for the States of
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. can not probably
be ascertained with accuracy until about
the first of October. 1t is probable, how
ever, that there will be sufficient circula-
ton for all of the Southern and Western
States when the census returns are re-
ceived No additional circulation can be
issued to the Eastern and Middle States.

LafOurche Parish-Warmoth Delegates
Elected.

The Lafourche Times contains the report
of the Republican parish convention, from
which we make the following extract:
| Punctually at noon, on SATURDAY., the
twenty second, the parish executive COM
mittee of LatOurche assembled in the
| Methodist Episcopal church. for the pur-
| pose of electing delegates to the ninth of
| August convention.
After much preliminary skirmi shing the
secretary was allowed to read the names of
the committee.
On motion of a member, +. Sternberp's
name was called; the question being as to
his eligibility, first, on account Of his pro-
posed removal from the State but princi-
pally because he was attempting to repre-
sent Democratic club. After strict
ballot the president announced that f.
Sternberg's name was dropped from the
committee.
Mr.. Grimes, from the central State com.
mttee, undertook to teach how it was to be
DONE After this Mr.. Reese took the floor,
and after requesting a letter to be read
from Oscar j. Dunn, he stated that Cover
nor Dunn did not want anv Warmoth men
elected there. Upon this Mr.. Murrell asked
If 1t was a free election, and three very
faint cheers were got up for the Lieutenant
Governor
Order being restored, candidates were
then named.
On the first and second ballots there was
no choice. The third ballot resulted in the
election of Oscar Crozier and William Muir
ren. Messrs. Crozier and Murrell were de-
clared duly elected and the convention
adjourned.
The Times adds:
One of the most noticeable features of
this meeting was that the Hon. D. H. Reese
& Co. were headed off in every move they
made, and the Hon. D. H. Reese in a con
ventiOn composed of thirty-seven members
received but five votes-the colored vote
seeming to understand that ID. H. Reese
and Sternberg were to blame for the split
of the party here last fall.
On the conclusion Of the meeting every
one separated with the best of feel
ings, determined to go to work and keep the
party together.
And for the benefit of the Democrats who
had desire to break the ranks of the Re
publican party, We will say that their
friends, headed by d. H. Reese & Co.,
were completely checkmated, and the
parish goes as a unit sOlidly Republican.

About year since Judge Curtis of the
Marine Court of New York, married Miss
Charlotte E. Rotten, but after only six
weeks Of married life they separated, and
were quietly divorced. On Saturday the
charming diUorce was married to Mr.. l..
Wilkerson Curtis, a wealthy tobacco and
cotton broker of that city, and brother of
the judge. 1t is noticed as something
rather unusual that the Judge was not
present at the ceremony when his brother
married his divorced wife; and we read
with emotion that the bride, TALL mag
nifcent blonde, not above twenty two years
of age, was richly dressed in brown silk
walking suit of two shades.

The Houston Yimes Saws.

From the working parties on all the rail
roads from or near Houston, we have the
most cheering news of progress made. The
western branch of the Central will reach
Austin early in the fall-in October, at latest.
The main line will be at Corsicana, in Ma
varro county, about the same time. The In
ternational will be ready for the coming cot
ton crop from the banks of the Upper Trim
ity; while the Great Northern will reach the
same stream at a point lower down. The
Texas and New Orleans road will be in
operation to Beaumont in time to do a great
deal of the business from that direction.
The work goes bravelY on.

The king of Belgium is described as a
man thirty-fve or thirty-six years of age,
over six feet in height, and of very grace
full form. His complexion is fair, his feat
ures regular and extremely gentle in ex-
preston, though firm enough to indicate
character and to insure respect. He is said
to be very anxious for the establishment of
line of steamers between Antwerp and
New York, and he promises large subsidy
from his government.
