Th Crept. The Commissioner of Agriculture couttonea to receWe gratifying reports of the laeeess of the cereals distributed by the t)eprtment tbe pVt .season. The Corree.fondiugSecretary of the Pennsylvania Ag ticultotal Society writes from Harrisbnrg, that the Excelsior oats distributed in that quarter have fully answered public expectation. A farmer near that city has grown from this seed a single stalk baring 173 fully developed beads, and a large number with 150. Other Tanners in that quarter bare been equally successful, and proBounce them tbe beet variety of oats ever grown there. The Tappthannock wheat ia alio in great demand in Pennsylvania for seed, which the department has distributed as freely as its-means permit. Mineral Rtcheaof the Statft. Professor T. A. Wy lie, ofthe State University, has been making an extended geological investigation of the counties of Monroe and Green, and, In ft a elaborate report, claims that large deposits cf what ii known as block coal exists there, in addition to the very finest quarries of Banditone of superior building character. Professor Cox, our State Geologist, reports the discovery of block coal in Parke County, on the line of the Evansville and Rockville Railroad. Chinese Laborers for the Southern States. A contract has been made in San Francisco, the Chronicle of that city says, for the supply of 20,000 Chinese laborers to be employed as plantation hands in the State of Tennessee. The very faithful j and intelligent manner in which thej Chinese laborers performed their work in constructing the Central Pacific Railroad has attracted attention to this unsurpassed , class of rough laborers. It is understood : thit the passage of these laborers will be paid by their employers, and thej will be paid twenty dollars per month. Another force of 25,000 is being contracted for to proceed to the State of Mississippi. ' Mil Indiana State Fair. The premium list of the Indiana State Fair aggregates 512,000 in premiums, with no per cent, or entry fee charged. The fair will open September 27th and continue the entire week. Railroads will carry visitors at half fare. Hotel accommodations are ample. Single tickets of admission 25c ; horse and rider two tickets; single horse and driver two tickets; double carriage and driver three tickets, and twohorse wagon and driver two tickets. Competition open to the world except as otherwise provided by the rules. Fruits, vegetables or grain must be entered for premiums by the growers of the same. Ho premium will be awarded when the article is not worthy, though tl.ere be no competition. Any improper interference with tho awarding committees will be promptly reported and the premium withheld on that account. The fair grounds contain thirty six acres aud adjoin the city of Indianapolis on tbe north and are easily accessible. There were expended on fitting up the grounds $13,000 in 1SGS, and several new buildings will be erected during the present summer. Another Great Bore. The question of tunneling the channel between France and England, which has been so long regarded as visionary and impracticable, is now pronounced upon competent authority to be capable of an easy solution. A Special commission, appointed by the Kmperor Napoleon to examine into the matter, report that they consider the plan ofthe English engineers feasible. The only difference of opinion between the French Commission and the English Board of Trade is whether the amount of traffic would renumerate the the stockholders; but if the pecuniary success of great public works were always narrowly considered by the original builders, there would be very few lines of in. ternal improvement. Mr. John Bright i the friend of the undertaking in the British Parliament, and this gives assurance that at least an attempt will be made to begin the work. Another very successful trial of the aerial ship Avitor was made at San Francisco, on Wednesday, in the presence of members of the press, tho Chicago excursionists and a number of engineers, the latter expressing the opinion that the larger machine now building will bo a decided success. Tho Radicals of Virginia will urge upon Congress to reject the constitution adopted by the people of that State at the late election. Telegrams from Washington cay the ! Secretary of the Treasury will continue to purchase three million bonds weekly during August. Senator Morton arrived at home in Indianapolis on Thursday night, from a short stay at Crcsson Springs, very much improved in health. Letters from Kurope state that Routwcll'e management of tbe Treasury Department ha done much to strengthen the credit of our 'Jorernment abroad.

The Coming Chinamen. Tbe London newspapers contain correspondence from Canton stating that preparations r're - making there for wholesale emigration to the United.: States on. the part of the masses, who ire but too eager to embrace any opportunity to get - wa j from their mandarins and tbe bastinado. One of these writers says ibere is one caution they must keep the whisky bottle from their new subjects. Hitherto this has been done with the most satisfactory results, and if it is not done now. we are warned that we shall get rather a bad bargain, a drunken Chinaman being about as bard a case as a whisky-drinking Indian. A Colored Preacher's Opinion of Mississippi Matters. . Rev. Jas.. Lynch, colored, of Mississippi, denies a recently-published statement that he has pledged Judge Dent the support of the colored people" of his State. Lynch has made arrangements for an interview with the President and Judge Denton Thursday. lie declares all further efforts at reconstruction should be based on universal suffrage and universal amnesty; that' the white people of. Mississippi have as tbcrogrflrabandoBed resistance to the doctrines o- the Republican party as they did to the Government when the armies of lice surrendered; that the Southern white man- concedes to the colored man equal political rights; that there will be no issue between them, and tocrcate one will be a curse to both races. Mr. Lynch has conferred with many of the leading Radicals.

A Movement for a Political Alliance. A movement is developing itself in Virginia having for its object a reconciliation between the two leading factions of the Republican party in that State. Many of the Radicals who supported Wells have expressed themselves satisfied with the sentiments contained in the speeches of Governor-elect Walker, since the election, and it is, therefore, not improbable that the movement will succeed. The ultimate result will be a combination of the Conservative and Radical Republicans in the Legislature against the Democrats, and thereby the election of two Republicans as United States Senators. Cruelty to Animals Illinois. The Legislature of Illinois at its last sessiou passed a law designed to prevent cruelty to animals, and attached to a viola tion of it a penalty for each infraction of not less than fifty nor mbre than one hundred dollars. Overdriving, overloading, overworking, torturing; tormenting, shortfeeding, cruelly beating, mutilating, or killing in a cruel manner, we suppose involves the penalty which is recoverable before ttie lowest court. The penal sections are twelve in number, and designed to meet all possible forms of cruelty to which farm stock may be subjected both of a positive and Degative character. Stock carried on railroads are not to be confined in the cars longer than twenty-eight hours at one time, and when the journey is longer than this, the stock is to be landed, fed, and rested five hours before being moved forward again. All sheriffs, deputies, policemen and constables are enjoined to note violations of the law and prosecute the offenders for each infraction of its provisions. Artificial Ice. The ice factory at New Orleans is a great success. It consists of six retorts of a chemical frecaing mixture. From these six retorts six pipes descend to six huge chests, which chests in turn radiate severally into four compartments. In each compartment are long, thin tin cases, seven on one side and eight on the other. This making by all the rules of arithmetic a total of fifty six cases in a box, and there being four boxes to a chest, and six chests to a factory, it follows that at full blast this Southern ice factory can turn out 1,314 cakes of ice, eighteen inches long, twelve broad and two thick at the completion of each process. The ice is much colder than that frozen naturally, and lasts much longer. The factory is a jointstock enterprise, and the property is exceedingly lucrative. Commissioner Delano, having been advised by Secretary Uoutwell that he has the power to make removals in his department, will act accordingly. lie finds, on his return to duty, many complaints against revenue officers in different parts ofthe country, and some changes may be expected soon, lie thinks temporary transfers of Supervisors from one district to another would have a salutary effect, and will try the experiment. The official vote of Washington Territory is 5,233 an increase of 698 in two years. The majority of Garfield, Republican candidate for Delegate, is 148. The vote on the subject of calling a State convention was small for, -400; against, GSS. A through time table from New York to San Francisco has just been issued, showing the time from Indianapolis to the latter place to be five days and twelve hours. Several promineut Democratic politicians are at Saratoga, New York, arranging the plan of the campaign for the fall elections. It is rumored they will have a less conservative policy than heretofore, and accept reconstruction as an accomplished fact. Senator Morton will open tbe campaign in Ohio on the 12th proximo, at Wilmington. Governor Hayes will speak at the same time and place.

Items of State News. Mrs. Clem predicts that revelations will

soon be made that will clear her from the charge of murder and secure her release." A verdict of guilty was given at Trre Haute, Indiana,' on Wednesday evening, against Oliver A. Morgan for tbe murder of John Petri. The Vincennes (Indiana) Gaaette says the peach crop is the largest ever known in that section of Indiana, and the apple crop will be above the average. The quality of the new wheat at Richmond, Indiana, is not generally' first grade. The rains just before harvest damaged it somewhat. On Wednesday of last week, near Huntington, Indiana, a girl named Wenebrenner, one and a half year old, while at play in the yard, fell into an .open well and was drowned, . . The Evansrille Journal says the chicken cholera is becoming a serious injury to poultry breeders. A lady near that city has lost "nearly one hundred laying hens and two hundred young chickens" by it. At Yountville, Indiana, on Tuesday afternoon, two ladies, named Clark and McConnell, were Grossing a creek, when their boat ' was carried over a dam, throwing both ladies into the water. Mrs. Clark was taken out, and was brought to life; but the other lady was drowned. Several ladies and gentlemen visited the land-sink curiosity,, south of Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Tuesday, and a few moments after they left, a tree by which they bad been standing, with about six feet of earth, slid from the bank into the river, a die tance of thirty feet. On Tuesday morning, as some workmen were loading piles on the cars, five miles west of Mitchell, Indiana, some chains gave way, letting a pile roll over the body of Jacob Ard, breaking his leg in two places, and so bruisiog him that his recovery is doubtful. At Indianapolis, Monday evening, a mad dog entered the bouse of Albert Frauer, and ran directly up stairs into a bed-room, where he jumped upon the bed and began tearing the pillows and bed-clothing. Mrs. Frauer locked the door upon the dog, and then called her husband, who killed him. The Marion (Ind.) Chronicle says there has been left at that office a stool of wheat from a single grain, consisting of eighty stalks. More than fifty of these stalks have well filled heads four inches in length and the other stalks have good heads. The stalks were over five feet high as they stood ia the field. A boy of Lewis Davis, three years old, was drowned in a cistern at Terre ; Haute, Indiana, on Wednesday. The mother and child were at a neighbor's house, when he ran out of the house and was missed not more than five minutes when the mother went to look for him and found him in the cistern. The Lafayette Courier says that a gentleman of Shelby township, in Tippecanoe county, having been invited by a doting mother to kiss her baby, extended the token of admiration to herself. The husband proposed to kill him, but was finally content with having him fined twenty dollars. A singular accident happened in Indianapolis the other day. A Mr. Jesse Smith, while walking up Delaware street, placed a lighted cigar in his coat pocket, which set fire to tbe garment and the rest of bis clothing. The flames spread rapidly, burning his back and right arm in a horrible manner. As Mr. Smith is sixtyfive years of sge, the physicians think his recovery extremely doubtful. One-third less ground was planted in corn near Vincennes, Indiana, than was intended, on account of the continued rains in the spring. The potato crop will be abundant, but the breadth of ground planted is small. There will be more than the usual amount of buckwheat sown, and should the season prove favorable a large crop is expected. The yield of wheat is larger than ever before. A lady in Evansville was playing with her child, a few days ago, and ran into a closet, when the child pushed the door shut, and, it having a spring-lock, she was made a close prisoner for nearly an hour, (the child being too small to push back the spring.) until her husband came home to his dinner. She was so nearly suffocated, it is said, that she could not have lived long, had she not been released. Four prisoners escaped from the jail at Covington, Indiana, last Wednesday morning, having dug an outlet seven feet long under the foundation, at which they were at work four days and nights, under the wall.. Immediately after their escape, another-prisoner, named Moore, gave the alarm; but for this, Runstcr, the murderer, who was in the same part of the building, would also have escaped. It seems, therefore, his reported escape was a mistake. Ex-Secretary Stanton indorses Boutwell's policy regarding the course to be pursued in the reconstruction of Mississippi and Texas. The Secretary of the Treasury declares that it was not his intention to sell any more gold while the premium remains at the present low figure. An impression prevails in the Department, founded on the advance in American bonds in European markets, that gold will go still lower. There was a big crowd at Loog Branch on Monday evening, on - the ocoasion of the ball given in honor of the President. Among the celebrities present were Mr. Rorie, and Generals Sherman, Sheridan, In galls, Reeves, Ames aud others.

The Utterances of a Reconstructed Rebel. Colonel Tom. P. Ochiltree, who will be rememberedas one of the few officers ofthe rebel army who supported General Longstreet in his advocacy of the election of General Grant, in recent address to the people of Texas, his native State, says: - c,The people of Texas will soon be called upon to reject or adopt the Constitution submitted by the late: Convention, and, incident thereto, elect fulV list of State and Federal oflicers. It is presumed that there will be bet one voice as regards the adoption of tbe Constitution, as it is by all odds the most acceptable one that has as yet been submitted to any of the States recently in rebellion. -It-is,: perhape, well known to all of you that, notwithstanding we may adopt the Constitution, we must subsequently adopt the Fifteenth Amendment, which is one of the precedent conditions of a return to the" Union. . Still, the whole question of admission or rejection rests with Congress. So. it behoovesus to weigh well every movement. If you have acted wisely in determining to sustain a Republican candidate for governor, why not yield the same support ttf the subordinate positions, and select good and competent Conservative Republicans to tbe Legisla

ture? Indeed, the latececision of Uenerai E. R. S. Canby,' commaiding tbe Military District of Virginia, in regard to the ineligibility of cettain candidates for the Legistature in that State, will be found most applicable to ourcoutest. The nomination and election of men who can take the requisite oath will remove the last possible objection of ail factions who are contending against an. etrly and complete reconstruction, and consequent admission into the next Congress." Colonel Ochiltree is now in Washington, representing the interest of the Hamilton party in Texas. ' An American Atlantic Cable. Englishmen and' Frenchmen have stretched telegraphic cables across the Atlantic, and now an American enterprise of a similar kind is on foot.' It is stated in the New York Times that a number of capitalists have been for some time quietly arranging for the laying of a cable direct from tbe harbor of New York to some port of Europe.. The paouliar feature of the enterprise is thus described: "This line will be worked with what are known in telegraphic circles as "sounder instruments" that is, tbe alphabet is indicated by found instead of by the galvanometer reflector system, as now used on cables, and can be operated three or four times as rapidly as can possibly be done by the present system. Two sets of these instruments were manufactured for this company some time since, and have been thoroughly tested both in Europe and America in Europe through a circuit of 3,000 miles of insulated wire, and with the most pcrfec.t success. They are constructed upon entirely new principles, and are so far wholly uuknowu to the public." General Ryan and Colonel Currier, of the Cuban service, are at the Clifton House,- Ontario, and intend making Clifton their headquarters for the present. ' W The decision of the General Conference ofthe United Brethren against secret eocieties is making Considerable trouble. A convention ofthe White Itiver (Indiana) Conference passed strong resolutions of condemnation and threaten secession. Private and official in for mat ion from the Phillipine Islands has been received, that an insurrectiou is threatened there against the Spanish authorities, and an attempt to follow the example of the Cuban revolutionists will soon develop itself. It is reported that Secretary Boutwell has received an offer from a foreign house of a loan of $300,000,000 at five per cent. The Secretary thinks that within a short time a sufficient amouat can be borrowed at four and a half per cent, to redeem all the bonds of the Government paying a higher rate of interest. Information at the Internal Revenue bureau, from New York, is of an encouraging character, as far as the collection of the income tax is concerned. It appears that the Assessors and Collectors fiud the business of the year in this respect, which they had supposed was finished, as active as ever the number of gentlemen who find that they now have taxable incomes, and who are desirous 16 pay income tax being counted by thousands. Three gentlemen have declined the appointment of Assessor for the Third Georgia District, owing to the lawless condition of affairs in the twenty-three counties composing the district, which renders the collection of the revenue a difficult and dangerous task. TThe last appoiolee, Mr. Haycord, found it impossible to discharge his duties, owing to threats and actual violence. The' matter will be brought to the attention of the President, and the military will be used if necessary. I I www i Official advices from- South America have been received, giving information regarding the situation of affairs in Paraguay, from which it appears 'that the condition of Lopes and his adherents is not as critical as reported. It seems that Lopea has retreated into the passes of the Cordilleras, where he is able to maintain a successful opposition to the allies, and at the same time keep up the commissariat of his armies from the agricultural regions in his rear, while from Bolivia and other sympathising republics he receives ammunition and other purely .military supplies in sufficient quantities to prolong the war interminably. The Siamese' twins have received a careful surgical examination at-the hands of Sir James Simpson, Sir W. Ferguson, and many other distinguished English surgeonsThe general decision is, that while

it is possible that an operation to separate them would be attended with no serious results, the probability is that it would be perilous. Sir James Simpson says that "Chang and Eng have themselves no desire to be surgically divided from each other. Bat some of their relatives and families have become anxious that they should be separated, if it were possible to do BO." Reply to "Sam." Editor of tlie American, In reply to the communication in your last issue, from Mixerville, signed "Sam." Before writing that communication, "Sam" should have sought correct information, and not received the idle gossip on the streets in relation to the proceedings of the Com. missioners at their Special July Term, held while the Court of Common Pleas was in session. The writer says that "the Board met on the 12th day of duly inst. to Ut the building of the bridge, and in a few hours the letting was given to Reed, King & Winslow; but it took only three days to close the contract and take bonds' Now if the writer had examined the records of the Board, be would have discovered that the above labor was closed about noon on the second day, and if he had further examined the records be would have found that other business was done. Part of his communication in reference to the allowance made at said term by the Board to tbe Sheriff for bis services at said term, is also untrue; also the allowance to Jacob Gerber as Superintendent of erection of the piers under the bridge of which Schrichte $ Co. are contractors, is untrue; in fact, the balance of the communication is a tissue of untruth. One Who Knows.

The people of Virginia who cried "let us alone" in 1861, when they were not desirous of being forcibly restored to loyalty, having had enough of rebellion, are now begging their old tempters, the Northern Democracy, to suffer them to rest in peace. The Richmond Whig says: "We beg the New York World, and all the over. zealous "Democratic journals, to let us alone. What we have done has been done without their aid and in spite of their opposition. We are more indebted to President Grant than to all the Northern Democrats put together for our deliverance. Let us alonel" Gazette. The State Board of Agriculture do net offer any premium on saw mills, reapers, mowers, threshers or separators, drag saws and sewing machines, for tbe reason that it is impossible to have such thorough tests and examination of their merits as will do justice to the exhibitor. They will, however, provide every facility for their display, and propose as an inducement to manufacturersand dealers in these articles, to appoint an examining committee composed of members ofthe Board, who will enable them to make a report of its peculiarities and merits, for publication in the annual reports which will hereafter be ready for distribution at the January meeting of the Board. ("Journal. . Parson Summerbell is of the opinion that the churches have partially failed in their great work of the conversion of the world. They have made powerful organizations, amassed wealth, and wielded great it. flue nee, but still paganism is in the ascendant. Tho church ofthe future, however, is to accomplish great things, and will no more resemble tbe church of the present than it resembles the dark ages. We see this church of the future as through a glass darkly; but as well as we can comprehend it, there will be very little creed in it, still less organization and no money. It will be a very comfortable church to belong to, and will be likely to maintain its simplicity as long as it is kept poor. Commercial. Here are two facts for the consideration of the tax-payers: It is estimated that a tax of 8S.50 per head will pay our interest, expenses, and the principal of our debt, in less than twenty years. But to do this upon that basis of taxation it will require strict economy in the public expenditures. That is one fact here is another: In 1SCG the United States taxes were over $16 per head, and yet the public debt was not diminished. Do not these facts illustrate most forcibly the necessity of a change in the administration of our public affairs? Indianapolis Sentinel. Just so. In 1S66 we had a Democratic President, and you could not except economy. We did need a change, and the people elected a Republican President, and the debt is rapidly diminishing. But we would hardly have expected a Democratic paper to acknowledge so much. Gazette. The rebel gentlemen who copied the austere and noble fashion of distinguished ancients, by forming a colony and going to Brazil, after the overthrow of the Confederacy, claiming that their high-souled natures would not permit theru to live in a despotism like the United States, have returned in an unseemly plight. They went away in high heroic style something like Cato, might have done the same thing; they come back with scarcely a clean shirt among them. Forty six of these forlorn knights have just arrived in New York city disgusted with their experimental establishing a "clear quill" Southern colony in Brazil, penniless aud in distress. Nothing could have beeo more distinguished than their going; nothing so undistinguished as their return. They "want logo home;" and are waiting at Castle Garden until charit able persons shall put tho necessary funds into their collapsed money wallets, or until free passages can be procured them. Could anything be more Quixotic than this? Journal. In Ohio the Democracy deolare against Eaying the national debt, unless tbey may rst scaleit by taxation, and agaiust black suffrage, and against the 15ih Amendment, and against the Administration; and tbey nominate a man for Governor because they say he was ill used by General and President Grant. Jiut in Virginia the Democracy go for paying the national debt faithfully, fur black suffrage, for the 15th Amendment, for the Administration, and they announce their intention to show their affection for General Grant by electing his brother-in-law Senator. And what makes this the more paradoxical is that the Ohio Democracy boast of this in Virginia as a Democratic triumph. And Democracy in Mississippi and in Texas, ftHd throughput the late rebel States, is

has as Varying hues as the patriotism of the traveling showman. Gazette.

The Hew York World, referring to the Virginia election, and the movements in Tennessee. Mississippi and Missouri for the enfranchisement of rebels, says: "The anomaly of keeping down the superior race is a failure, after five years of Congress and the army to bolster it Op. This is the abandonment of reconstruction. Its keystone was white disfranchisement. That pulled out, the whole arch falls. It has fallen, and will soon be buried out of sight." The World has not studied its political economy well. It betrays the usual perversity of the Democratic mind. "White disfranchisement" was not the keystone of the arch of reconstruction. If there was a keystone, it was "black enfranchisement" and this has been accomplished, despite the World, the (Rebel) flesh, and the Democracy. The blacks enfranchised, there can be but little danger in unmuzzling the late rebels. Their poisoned fangs will have been pulled by the Fifteenth Amendment. Journal. The Minnesota Wheat Crop, The next ten days will decide the fate of the wheat crop in Minnesota. An immonse breath of land has been sown an extent of acres that ought to produce 18,000,000 bushels. It is now headed out, and in the milk. There is a large growth of straw, and the, beads are ponderous. They bear kernels that ought to weigh over sixty pounds to the bushel. The straw is clean and strong. Ten days or a fortnight of favorable skies and airs will reveal Minnesota as the champion wheat State of the Union. St. Paul Pioneer, July 18th. Nova Scotia as a State of the Union. The desire for annexation to the United States seems to be rapidly gaining ground in Nova Scotia. Hatred of confederation and the "Dominion" increases together with the desire to form the thirtyseventh State of the American Union. The means by which this is to be accomplished are not yet settled, no plan being resolved upon, so far as we can learn. Union Leagues are foiming throughout the Province, and so soon as this organization is complete, a definite, comprehensive plan for bringing about the desired, result of annexation will be submit rd to the people for their support. New York Post. Big Deed. On Saturday last a $20,000,000 mortgage was entered in the Recorder's Olbee, in this city. It represents the largest sum recorded there. The mortgage is that of the Philadelphia & Erie railroad, in trust, to Wistar Morris and Jos. Bacon, of Philadelphia, and its object is the raising of a loan for the purpose of building a double track from this city to l'hiladelphia. The document forms a complete book of about the size of Mitchell's Atlas, and is a rare specimen of binding and penmanship. The writing is as regular as copperplate and us plain as any. print, and tbe headings and a largo portion of the other matter is , in the old English letter, iu different, colored inks.. It contains tac-similcs of the bonds and coupon bonds, and all other pnpers pertaining to this immense financial transaction. tirie (Pa.) Dispatch. Indiana Coal Seams Iron. Special Dispatch to Ibc Cincinnati Cassette. Indiana folis, July 25. Dr. Cox, State Geologist, returned last night from a three weeks' survey of the coal districts of Owen, Clay, Vigo and Parke counties. He ascertaips that the scam of block eoal, which is so valuable on account of its availability in smelting iron without coking, extends iu a west of north direction, from southwest in Owen up through Ciny Bnd Parke counties, a width of six miles, with Brazil and Rockville on the west edge. In depih it ranges from three to six feet. Iron ore was found in the center of Clay county, in sufficient quantities to support a furnace, while biniied iron and bog iron ore, bituminous coal and fine building stone is found scattered over the counties in large quantities. Dr. Cox is confident that the whole section will soon be dotted over with furnaces, and that Indiana will soon rank next to Pennsylvania in iron manufacturing. Eastern capitalists are interesting themselves greatly, quietly investigating the matter and investing laTge suniB of money, and Western men may wake up to find themselves behind time for the best investments. The Coolie Trade. Washington, July 25. The Secretary of the Treasury is in receipt of a letter from tho Collector of Cus toms, at rtew Orleans, covering a com munication of William F. McCreery, relative to the importation of coolies into this country, and asking for instruction of the Department. He replies that McCreery mistakes in stating that the aot of February, 1SG2, prohibiting American citizens from engaging in the Coolie trade has been abrogated. On the 16th of January, 1867, a resolution was pussed unanimously, by both Houses of Congress, expressing the abhorrence of the people of the United States for the Coolie trade, and, in conformity, with this resolution, Secretary McCullocb addressed to the Col. lector. at New Orleans his letter of the 19th of August, 1867, of which a copy is iuclosed. Additional Article 5, to the treaty between the United States and tha Chinese Empire, concluded at Washington on the 28th of July last, and which now awaits tbe action of the Emperor, reprobates any other than voluntary emigration, and agrees to mako it a penal offense to tike Chinese suljocts from China without thtir fico and voluntary consent. The Department of State, by circular of the 17tb of January, 1867, addressed to tbe Ministers and Consuls of the United States, directs that the Consul at every port, where Coolies may embark, be required to certify, after full examination, that such embarkation is not enforced or procured by fraud, but is voluntary, and requires that such Ministers and Consuls use all authority, power, and influence at their command toward preventing and discouraging the carrying on of the traffic referred to in any way. Such being the facts in the case, the Collector is authorized and directed to use all vigilance in tha suppression of this, as the Secretary says, "new modification of the sUve trudc,"

California Republican State Convention. i San Francisco, July 22. The Republican State Convention nominated Lorenzo Sawyer and O. C. Pratt for Judges of the Supreme Court and adopted the following resolutions: 1. Pledges tbe support of the party to and endorses the acts of Grant's administration. 2. The negro question has ceased to be an element of American politics, and the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment should be followed by an act of universal amnesty and fraochisement to the Southern people. 3. Regards with satisfaction the increasing immigration to this State from the Atlantic States and Europe; but while giving preference, the people Of China is entitled to the full protection of law, and opposes Chinese suffrage in any form, and any change in the naturalization laws of the United States. 4. Recognizes the power of General Government to restrict or prevent tbe Chinese immigration by termination our commercial relations with China, and Relieves the closing of our ports at oresent against the Chinese, would be in'juriou to tbe material interest of the Coast, and1 a reproach upon the intelligence of the American people, and contrary to the spirit of the age. 5. Opposes the eight hoar Jaw. 6. Endorses tbe action of Congress ir rejecting the Alabama treaty; considers it the duty of General Grant to demand fall' reparation for injuries inflicted by theBritish Government and people upon oue commerce during the late rebellion. 7.
