The Greenback National Convention.
 CHICAGO, June 9.-Fully seven hundred delegates to the Greenback convention are here to-day, and in addition to these there are about one thousand representatives of va rious organizations who have asked for seats in the convention The call for the conven- ton was made on the basis of representation the same as the Republican convention, two delegates from each Congressional district and four at large from each State; but the indications are that the basis of representa- tion specified in the call will not be adhered to, and that the labor representatives will be admitted.
 The great hall of the Exposition building presented a different appearance this morn ing from that which it has worn for week past. There were apparently about one thou sand delegates in their seats and about as many persons in the gallery. Shortly before one o'clock the convention was called to order by F. s. Dewees of Pennsylvania, chairman of the executive committee, and opened with a prayer by Rev. Mir. Ingalls,. The prayer produced rather a novel incident. The preacher called attention to the fact that the ministers of the land had agreed to join on Q certain day in prayer for the two great con yentions at Chicago and Cincinnati but re- fused to pray for this convention.

Press Comments on the Nominations.
 LONDON, June 9.-In speaking of the Chi cago nominations the PalI Mall Gazette says : "It has been plain since the first day of the convention that General Grant stood no chance of being nominated After discussing at great length the situation in the United States as affected by the results of the action finally taken at Chicago the Gazette con- cludes by saying that upon the whole the po- Etical outlook in the United States has not been so favorable since the day when Grant set out upon his electioneering tour around the world an ill-advised bid for 8 third term which has found its fitting catastrophe at Chicago"
 The St. James Gazette (Greenwood's new paper) says it may now be regarded as certain that MT. Garfield will be Mir. Hayes success or as President of the United States. Still the Gazette thinks constitution which leads to such result by methods peculiar has very odd appearance, as viewed by eyes not accustomed to the spectacle. The Americans, says the Gazette, are apparently content to be ruled by any politician who gives satis- faction to the wire pullers of the party which nominates him, and can hardly be 0 surprise if this strange system leads in some great crisis to very unpleasant consequences. The Gazette further says that, notwithst 1ding the belief to the contrary, which 1t under stands is more or less prevalent among intel hgent and well-informed classes in the United States, Englishmen have no prejudiees in re- gard to American politics, and endeavor to form their opinion of 'them from undoubted facts and on accepted principles of popular government. Abiding to the defeat of Grant the Gazette adds: It is perfectly ineligible that the proposal to confer third term upon him should be resented by the American people, and from reasons al most as plain abroad as at home. Perhaps, says the Gazette, General Grant may be without ambition, as many of his friends have claimed, but this was not the i'm pression he produced in the old world dur ing his recent tour. On the contrary he seemed to shun associating with the common people, and constantly sought to rank himself with princes; and it had sometimes hap pened that accredited ambassadors at courts which General Grant visited had been obliged to give way to his claims for precedence. Sensible Americans had noted these facts, and it was not matter of surprise that the influence of this attitude of his had, ap- peared to have been the case, reduced the number of his friends to hopeless minority in the convention which yesterday defeated him for reelection to the Presidency.
 The Morning Post congratulates the Re publican party for rejecting General Grant, whose qualifications, it says, were never of very high order, and who would have been about the worst man for the hazardous ex- pertinent of third term because he had al ready shown signs of adopting a personal line of action inconsistent with the Presiden- tial office.

ST. JOHN.

Bonnet Care Meschecebe: Monday
morning, the field laborers on the
right bank Of the parish Of St. John
the Baptist refused to work any longer
at tie usual prices and struck for an
increase to Que dollar day. No vio-
leDce, however, was res0rfed to at
FIRST and the strikers cont1nted them
selves viii, parsdiug Oh the levees
and c0ngregatiDg in different places.
They sought advice and were told
that they had q right to ask IN in-
crease of pay but none to compel
those who were satisfied to wefk for
evenly five cents day to joia them.
1t seemed at first rs If they would not
use violence, but on Thursday several
plantations in the upper part VI the
right bank were invaded aRd the L..
borers thereon were threatened and
beaten. Affidavits have been made
against the leaders for trespass aud
warrants Of arrest issued. Gu the left
bank, the lab.Ters have been ut york
all the time, but it is ascertaine4l that
few leaders are organizing to start
strike on MoOday, and that from
that day the increase from seventy
ive cents to one dollar per day will
be asked. We have not heard that
planters have taken any action yot.
