The Irmy and Nucy Journal publishes The
| following: lit is confidently asserted il
| England from private information that
Osman Pasha is none other than that cele
brated fugitive from French prisons, Mar
shall Francois Ochilrc Bazaine. This intel
ligence Is by no means improbable. Ba'
zaine was always an active and stirring
man, and the circumstances OF his public
trial i'm France lwere such As TO shut him
out from a career in any army OF Christian
Europe. Like most French officers OF rank
he had served in Algeria, and in so doing
acquired considerable knowledge of Arabic
and of the Arabs. Besides this,
HE SERVED IN TIE CRIMEAN WAR
in command of the Foreign Legion, and at,
terward as French Governor of Sebastopol
During that period he natural made many
Turkish acquaintance, and therefore there
is nothing more natural than that heshOuld
90 to Turkey in the hour Ct his need. Ii
is no secret that Bazane was strong Bona
partist, and that his treason to France in
the interest Of the late Emperor is indul-
gently looked on by the Imperial Gov
eminent. In Turkey, where Bazaine's
master was the best friend Of the Sui
tan. Bazalne would be received with open
arms by those of his friends, who knew his
value in any capacity OF trained soldier.
That he should have concealed his identity
with the utmost care is equally natural and
had not war come it is possible he might
have concealed it till his death, but war
with Russia, his antagonist of twenty years
ago, could not fail to bring Osman Pasha in
contact with the people who knew
GENERAL BAzAINE As GOVERNOR OF Sc
BASToPoL.
Whether the secret leaked out through
some Russion officer prisoner in his hands,
or some English or French attache who had
served in the Crimea and recognized Osman
Pasha, is uncertain, but the character of his
fighting at Plevna, n stubborn, defensive
battle, is curiously like the first day at
Gravelotte, though the difference of force
on the enemy's side led him to happier

TIE EFFECT OF ClsINESE COM
PETITION.

The Chinese Question is now attract
ing more attention than usual, in Califor
MIA, and the hostility to the Cinnamon is
no longer confined 10 the "hoodlums,' who
are naturally their enemies. Ii has here
tofore been urged by those who have well
coined them as emigrants, that they would
in time be elevated TO the condition OF
the white workingmen, but it is now real
lied that the danger is great that they will
drag those with whom they are or may be
competitors, down to their degraded level.
They have reduced the rate of wages so
low, that in some departments of industry,
| thew have the field to themselves, and will
enjoy the monopoly, until white men and
women are found, who will work at the
wages that are satisfactory TO them, and
upon which they can live, because they have
no families to support, and their per-
sonal expenses are small. The boys and
| girls in the cities and larger towns
| Of California, are growing up in idleness be-
cause there is no employment, and the re-
suit upon their manner, and morals is ex-
citing alarm in quarters where opposition
to Chinese labor has heretofore been little
nicious example of the Cinnamon, and the
idleness which is caused by their compc;i-
ton, are so rapidly adding to the vicious
classes of both sexes, as TO endanger the fu-
ture welfare Of the State, and ii the influx
Of these Orientals continues, California will
lose all its respectable white workingmen
who are able to get away The recent dis
turbances at San Francisco were the more
dangerous because tine mobs had TO 4 large
extent the sympathy Of the working people
who feel that their present suffering condi-
ton is due to the competition TO which they
are subjected, and that their future will be
still more deplorable If that competition
shall be continued The Cinnamon have
no intention Of becoming perma-
nent citizens OF this country, and most OF
them return home in few years, carrying
with them the larger portion OF the wages
they have earned, and the fact that they ex-
pend so little excitcs the opposition to them
of the small traders, who lose the benefit Of
the custom OF the white mechanics and Ia
borers who they displace. Men who employ
labor are realizing the dangers due to their
presence, and are less willing than hereto
fore 10 give them work, and the great Chi
nese companies are taking steps to secure
the emigration OF many of them to the
Sandwich Islands, Central America and Pc
ru. This will give relief to the labor mar
ket, and more employment shall be offered
to white labor, the dangers due to the en-
forced idleness OF such large numbers OF
people will be removed.

As l telegraphed you on yesterday the
Kaw Indians have consented TO 4 reap.
praisement under the condition that they
shall nominate two of the appraisers. In
saying this proposition was accepted did
not mean to say that the Secretary Of the
Interior had accepted, for the best informa-
ton can get Is that he will not accept
their proposition Some. of the settlers
presumed friends seem to think the Indians

approved or consented to . re-appraise-
ment about the first of June, mailed it at
Lawrence, on the 9TH, and it was received
at the Department about the 10th inst
Their consent to re-appraisement, COUP
led with the condition that they have the
privilege Of nominating two Of the three
commissioners of appraisement, does not
seem to meet the approval of the Depart
ment, and from what can learn at head
quarters, will not likely be accepted. Hon.
lhos. Ryan arrived here on the 18th inst,
and made inquiry of the Indian COM
missioner relative to the action of the In
dians.
In June consenting 10 re-appraisement,
the Commissioner replied that the Indians
had not given their consent, that he knew OF,
and proceeded to suggest to Mr.. Ryan What
legislation was necessary in the prem
ises. Mr.. Ryan informed the Commissioner
that the Indians had consented, and that he
had seen the record Of the proceedings in
Lavresce. The clerks were put to work to

COMMERCIAL NOTES.

The German Government has lately de-
monetized the ne-sixth-thaler pieces, and
is now exchanging them at the postofiices
for new Imperial coins. When these shall
have all been called in, the only coins of
the old system still remaining in circulation
will be the one-thaler pieces.
A machine has been invented in New
York city, mounted on wagon wheels, which
is intended for use on farms in the West. 1t
deluges the ground behind it with smoke
from burning chips and birthstone, and
holds the smoke down long enough to suf-
focate every potato bug, locust and other in
sect that comes within its influence.
THE new Imperial Patent Office Of Ger
many was opened on the first of July. A
circular explaining the principles upon
which it is based, and inviting patent au-
thorities in other countries to forward infor-
nation in regard to their systems, in order
that the German office may profit by the ex-
perience of older institutions, has been Is
sued. The German Patent Office is to issue
a periodical gazette, similar to that issued
by the United States Patent Office, contain
ing descriptions of all new inventions.
The trade in Carolina rice. which the
city of Charleston now controls, is in dan
ger of being lost TO that city by reason of
excessive charges for freight and milling
Freight TO Charleston is 6 cents per bushel,
against p cents to the country mill. The
total charge for delivering 1000 bushels of
rice in the New York market is $127.j0.
and to deliver the same in tierces to the
factor in Charleston costs Sl47.50 Plan
tiers get from / to ! cent pound more for
their rice by sending it to New York.
The annual report on accidents on Aus
trian railways during the year 1876 has
been published. The number of trains
which were thrown from the track during
the year was 217; the number of collisions.
~; the number of cases in which persons
or animals were killed by trains, 476; and
the number of disasters by the elements,
lS6. One hundred and eighty-seven per.
sous were killed during the year, only
three of whom were Passengers. In 1875,
1876 persons were killed, five of whom were
passengers. The total length of the rail-
roads of Austria is now about 6, COO miles. |
The trade statistics of France for the
first six months of 1877 do not compare
favorably with those for the same period |
last year. The total imports Of all kinds
of commodities into France up to June 30 |
amounted to $ss2, So, 900, against 1861.

of $6ss, 400. During the same period Of
1877, the exports from France amounted 70 |

public being S22,5l4,2 200. The comparison
Of the trade Of the first SIX months of the
present year, with that OF the same period
Tor last year, is unfaverable also in other
respects Evidence of the stagnation OF
trade is afforded by the decrease Of $500.
900 in the imports of raw material, and OF
sl5, OOo, 600 in the exports of manufactured
articles. The small gain in the imports OF
France during those six months, is almost
entirely due to the unusually large arrivals
of foreign sugar, necessary To replace the
deficient crop at home.

HOPEFUL augurIes are drawn from the
statement that Great Britain will soon re-
quire and obtain from the United States
immense quantities OF wheat, and that the
prices are now one-third higher than they
were year ago. The cotton crop is esti-
mated at nearly four millions Of bales, and
the corn crop one OF the largest ever raised
in this country. We are producing food
enough to supply all houle wants and sell
an enormous surplus. With petroleum We
furnish light to half the civilized world
with cotton we furnish the raw material for
the clothing of hundreds OF millions of hu.

We produce nearly every article craved by
