Four mord ?rs occurred In Louisville on Sat lurday night, and two are reported elsewhere, j besides several deaths from drowning.

The New York Journal of Commerce, in ita issue of Saturday, concludes a well considered editorial on "The Phosphates of the Charles? ton Basin," as follows: to i It is a matter of no small surprise that the gradual development of Buch vast sources of wealth in the Charleston basin should have created an excitement In that vicinity, remind? ing one somewhat of the Pennsylvania oil fever. Companies for working the deposits have been formed, and -hopes are high that great wealth to individuals and to the commu? nity will flow from them. In that particular many will probably be disappointed; but that the Cbarlestonlans appear to nave a very good thing in their phosphate beds does not admit of a reasonable doubt AB some of the richer deposits lie in the bed ol the rivers and 'creeks, great difficul? ty is experienced in diggingtnemout. Todo this easily and economically is a problem upon whose solution much of the success of the com 8antes depends. Now, it happens that Mr. J. Glenn, of this city, inventor of the patent portable or walking railway car, (a full descrip? tion of which appeared In our paper of Octo? ber 16,1S68,) took a trip to Savannah a short time ago with bis singular machine, upon which marked improvements have recently been made'. He tested it in that city with a success fully recorded in the Savannah news ?>apere. The spectators saw In lt a means of ocomotlon as a traction engine peculiarly adapted to travelling upon prairies or low, flat land, where horses with ordinary vehicles would easily be mired, and also recog? nized its advantages in connection with plough? ing, sowing and other agricultural business. Those of the lookers-on wno were Interested in the phosphate operations, remarked that the chief mechanical principle of the car-that by which the wheels and feet are moved continu? ously about it-seemed to be exactly the contri? vance required to dredge out the coagulated fish bones from the Charleston bed. The Inventor fully shares In this conviction, and believes that by a simple adaptation of the principle of his car he can excavate and deliver the deposita on the banks of streams at the rate ol one hundred car loads an hour wita one dredge. So san? guine of this result were a number of gentle? men wno witnessed the trial of "ne car tbat a company has been organized to test the ques? tion, as a'so to determine the capabilities ot the Invention In the way of locomotion and farming purposes. We offer no opinion about the success ot their experiments; but lt would bea fact meriting congratulation if the Glenn walking car, originally conlrived for a totally different object, should prove the means of | working upon a large and remunerative scale the great phosphate deposits of the river beds about Charleston. THE C&?WESE AND THE CRISPINS. Tao Origin of the Movement to Obtain Chinese Shoemakers-How the Celes? tlal New-comers Conduct Themselves. The Boston Herald, of the 15th instant, gives the following account of the difficulties among the North Adams shoemakers, which led to the importation of Chinese into that town. The history of the causes which have led to this Innovation, and which seriously threaten to revolutionize the question of labor In New England, covers a period of about two years, and the event is exciting comment from all classes In every manufactur? ing town in the New England States. In the month of May, 1863, Mr. Sampson, the proprietor of a shoe manufactory, was first made aware of the existence of the Order ot the Knights of St. Crispin, and lrom that | Urne till January of the present year has from time to time had some slight misunderstand? ings with his employees. The causes and ex? tent of these are variously stated, but this fact is apparent-that he often sought to employ men not belonging to jthe order, and as often found that the entire number were soon In? duced to Join this society for the protection of | the rights of labor. In January last, the price paid In all shops In town for bottoming being ten dollars and twelve cents per case fordouble soled shoes and nine dollars for Blngle-soled. he was waited upon by a committee wno asked an advance of one dollar per case. This was flatly refused. Soon after this, he alleges, his shoes were being made in an inferior manner, and he asked an explanation from the foreman, a Crispin, who could give no Information. A few hands were discharged-and new ones put on. These made first-class work for a lew days, when they commenced folio wing in the trail of the old hands. Reasons were demand? ed, and lt was explained that the new men would not be allowed to make better work than that previously done in the shop. Matters remained thus mutually unsatisfac? tory until April, when Mr. Sampson called his men together, and Informing them that there were no orders, and that business was growing doll, asked if they would be willing to work for a reduction of ten per cent, until the re? vival of trade, when former prices would bc even. A special meeting of Hoosac Tunnel jdge, No. 64, of the Knights ot St. Crispin, was nek! that evening, and, on bringing the matter to a vote, lt was decided not to accept the proposition ot Ur. Sampson; accordingly they finished up the orders already on hand and left his employ. He then sent his clerk. Mr. George W. Chase, to North Brookfield, with directions to hire a new gang, and to take none but Crispins. They came, but did not go to work. Two days after their arri? val, having conferred with the Crispins of this two, they notified Mr. Sampson that there were men enough in town, and according to their rules they could not go to work for him, and they left North Adams for home at 10 o'clock, May 13. At i o'clock, on the same day, Mr. Chase departed for California. In one month trom that very hour he landed at the depot with seventy-five Chinamen. These men are hired for a term of three years, at twenty-three dollars per month the first year and thirty-three thereafter, with lodging, rooms for which have been fitted np in a portion of the building furnished them, tosrethe- with some other privileges. The v. In their turn, agree to certain stipulations which will protect Mr. Sampson. Ah Sing, or Charlie, as he is familiarly called, comes with them. He is passably well educated, and is a regular member ot the Methodist Episcopal Church. He will keep all the accounts, receiving the wages, purchasing their food and giving them spending money, and sending each month the residue of their money to the Kwong Chong Twlng Company of San Francisco, which will keep it on deposit for them. The men are very neat in appearance, which ls ajsubject of general surprise. All Hie. shops here demand a reduction ol len ?>er cent, from the present prices, and a meet ng of the Crispins will be held this evening lo consider the subject. It is generally thought that they will succumb. The newly arrived Celestials are fast becom? ing domesticated In their strange home. They have not yet fairly commenced t he labors of shoe-making, but are at present engaged in "fixing up" their quarters according to their Ideas of convenience and comfort. They occupy for domestic purposes four rooms, fit? ted up at the rear eod of Mr. Sampson'* sub? stantial brick buildings. These are the wasli lng-room, also used for bathing, the kitchen, the dining-room and sleepiug-room. The sleeping accommodations tor the whole seven? ty-five are in one room. In thc centre, facln" outward towards each wall, are rows of berths, one above another to the height ol five. Each has a good mattress, blankets, and other nec? essary articles, and their occupants have ad? ded curtains, shelves, Ac, all tue work ot* their own hands, and done very neatly, although they are comparatively unskilled in the use of tools. Their capacity for learning and love of knowledge evince themselves In every movement. They are pick? ing up words of English every hour, and once the pronunciation and meaning ol a word ls distinctly understood, it is fixed in the mind forever, i fiey are pleasant, affable, ob? serving, greeting every one with a pleasant smile, speaking to all they have seen once be? fore, and watching every strange or new movement in their presence. The uses of ma? chinery are learned with wonderful rapidity. Each Implement ls inspected carelully, and the method of its use ls asked and scanned with an eagerness seldom seen among other races. That Mr. Sampson's experiment with these will prove a personal success in every manner there ls scarcely a doubt. Of the ex? pediency of their employment, as regards their benefit to the community, there ls yet a ques? tion. ThuBfarin their employment in Ameri? ca they hare taken no interest In lier social or political affairs, and show little inclination to a permanent settlement. Each one comes with the purpose of returning with a competence to the mores of his native land, there to die, and If perchance they do not return alive, their bodies must finally be carried within the walls of the empire of Confucius, and there de? posited. The men here are all of small stature and slight build. Some of thejn will yet increase, however, as their ages range from 18 to 23 years. They are not very hardy looking, and seem poorly fitted for any heavy work. They will make good shoemakers, and will also fill to satisfaction any position in other manufac? turing institutions and in the household. The movement of Ur. Sampson ls- exciting considerable Interest among the manufactur? ers of the Eastern States. Last night, a gen? tleman arrived here from Jersey City, to inves? tigate the new project, while others have come from Troy. New York, and towns nearer this village. Ur. S. is dally In receipt of numerous letters of inquiry, some ot which we have seen, and all of which look favorably to the scheme. THE AMERICAS BONAPARTE. The Romance Of Hts Parentage-The SOB of the Baltimore Belle who wa? Sacrificed to the Ambition of the Great Napoleon. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, eldest son of the Emperor Napoleon's younger brother, Jerome, died on Friday last at Baltimore. This event will probably bring to a close one of the most remarkable law suits of the age; it is another important chapter in the strange ro? mance of which that remarkable lady, Uadame Patterson, still remains the central figure. It is a story which many of our readers will be glad to recall. Sixty-seven years ago Jerome Bonaparte, the youngest brother of Napoleon, arrived In New York. He had Joined the French naval service, and accompanied hts brother-in-law, General LeClerc, to San Domingo. While Le Clerc was fighting Toussaint L'Ouverture and the yedow fever, the first of whom, it will be remembered, he overcame by treachery, while the other overcame him by surprise. Lieuten? ant Jerome was driven by the English navy to take refuge in New York harbor. While bis vessel was lying In the bay, watched by the English cruisers, Jerome made a tour of the Eastern States as far South as Washington, where he was presented to President Jefferson in October, 1803. At Baltimore, he met Miss Elizabeth Patterson, daughter of a wealthy merchant of that city, a young girl of 18. Her uncommon beauty attracted the attention of Joting Banaparte, and won what little heart e possessed. The family position and con? nections of Jerome Bonaparte fired- the am? bitious heart of Miss Patterson, and, a few days after their first meeting, she readily ac? cepted bis offer to make her at once M?dame Bonaparto and a member of the civil family of the Emperor. The betrothal was completed after a strange fashion of the day ata grand ball given by young Banaparte, at which Miss Patterson was bis partner. During the dance he threw over her head a gold chain to which was attached a miulature likeness of himself, Bet in diamonds, and the lady bore lt off in triumph. Thus the engage? ment was made. Miss Patterson's father, however, disapproved, and sent her away to what was then known as the "Wilds of Virginia." But as Bonaparte gave further evidences of his attachment by sending letters to that secluded spot, her father relented and brought her home. The Spanish envoy was char-red with the format demand of her hand, the French Consul attested the contract, and Bishop Carroll celebrated the marriage cere? mony on Christmas Eve, 1803. Jerome Bona? parte remained in America for fully a year, visiting with bis wife various parts ot the country. Wnen they were ready to go to Eu? rope, Ur. Patterson fitted out the Erin, one of his own vessels, and in the spring of 1805 they embarked for Europe, and arrived safely at Lisbon. The happiness of Jerome and his bride was here suddenly brought to an end by the Infor? mation that Napoleon I, who had advanced his brother with the design of making him useful In some matrimonial alliance with a European royal family, was very much disgusted with his marriage. He refused to recognize the marriage, and forbade the admission of the wife to French territory. The husband left her at Lisbon, and repaired to Italy to see the Em? peror. It ls probable that the young Lieuten? ant, still enamored of his beautiful wife, made some efforts to obtain her recognition, but they were probably not very strenuous, and were certainly unavailing. He did not return to his wife, but, yieliing to Napoleon's orders, he married, August 12, 1807, Frederica Catherine, daughter of the King of Wurtem? berg, and as a reward was made, BIX days alter, King of Westphalia. His subsequent fate was a fitting sequel to the story. He offended bis brother by some neglect which disarranged the Russian campaign of 1812, and was severe? ly reprimanded and practically dismissed the service. Two years later he had to fly from Paris, leaving his royal wife under arrest, and was forced to retire to Vlonna, where he lived as Prince de Montford. When tile empire was restored he returned to Paris, and died there in I860. Forbidden to enter France, Mme. Patterson Bonaparte went to Holland, but shortly after retired to Camberwell, England, where, on July 7, 1805, Jerome Napoleon, the subject of the present sketch, was born. For years she haunted Europe, finding no opportunity to ob? tain, but never falling on every occasion to as? sert, her i 'gilts and those of her son. Once, In the FittI Palace at Florence, she encounter? ed Jerome and his new wife, but the contempt? ible fellow sneaked from the presence ol'the proud woman he bad wronged, and imme? diately left Florence. Madame Bonaparte returned to the United States with her sou during bis boyhood, and he was reared at Baltimore. He entered Har? vard College, and graduated from that Institu? tion in 182G. He studied for the bar, but never practiced law. He was married in early life to Miss Williams, daughter of Benjamin Wil? liams, originally of Roxbury, Mass., whose wife, by a strange coincidence, died also yes? terday During the reign of Louis Phillippe Mr. Bonaparte was permitted to sojourn lor a short time In Paris. Mr. Bonaparte acquired a large fortune with his wife, and devoted him? self since his marriage to the management of a large estate. On the re-establishment ol the empire, in 1852, the Indefatigable mother again put for? ward her claims for recognition. Prince Na? poleon and his sister Mathilde appeared os de? fendants in the suit. An imperial i:\mily coun? cil, claiming to be .'the only competent tribu? nal," decided that while young Jerome Patter? son, as Prince Napoleon insists on styling him, was entitled to the name of Bonaparte, he could not be considered as one or the royal family. He was permitted to visit France, be? came very intimate with his father, who made him a haudsome allowance, and was received at the Court ol'. Louis Napoleon. No recogni? tion of the mother was, however, obtained. In 18C0, the death of Jerome gave his wife an opportunity for again presenting lier claims, and, willi Berryer as her advocate, she demanded, in thc; Imperial Court, her sou's shure of his lather's property, and his rights. The suit has never been decided, we believe. In his features, tho nephew, now Just dead, bore a striking resemblance lo Napoleon I. He possessed the same shape ol'the head, and perfect regularity of features, bronze counte? nance ano; dark eyes of the peculiar tiut which distinguished Napoleou I, wliom he also close? ly resembled in deportment. The deceased leaves a son, Jerome Napoleon, who gradua? ted at West Poiut, and is now an officer in the French urmv. -Everybody in Havana is talking of and praising the message of President Grant upon the Cubun question.

SPOM^NG NOTES. TACHTING IX NEW YORK HARBOR. Tue lovers of yachting in Gotham were in high glee on Tuesday over what ls universally pronounced one of the finest maritime displays ever witnessed in that harbor. The day itself was lovely and the breeze was high. The same vessels which won thc race last summer were the victors In this-thc Idler, of the schooners, and White Cap and Sadie of the sloops. The latter race was not very exciting, for the yachts were obliged to tack, and did not carry much sall. Nevertheles they made very good -ne. The vessels got off in fine style, ihe White Cap leading, and maintaining her position throughout the race. On the home stretch the very best seamanship was display? ed. The yachts came in to the home stake-boat in excellent trim, and fairly earned the plau dits they received on arriving. The time was as follows: Idler, 4h. 38m. 20s.; White Cap, 5h. 16m. 15s.; Sadie, 4h. 45m. 42s.; thus lt will be seen that the yachts came Lu very close togeth? er. There were no accidents of any great moment, and the yachtsmen as well as guests, seemed to enjoy thoroughly the beautiful day and the magnificent sport, and the parties most Interested are doubtless well satisfied with the result. THE DERBT DAT IN ENGLAND. The London papers contain extended ac? counts of the celebrated Derby rices, although they all admit that the noble sport of horse racing ls growing into disrejmto In England, and more than hint that the great Derby, this 1 year, was a failure. In the principal contest between "Kingcraft,''"Prince of Wales," "Pal? merston," "Muster," and "Macgregor," the lat? ter was beaten easily, though the favorite at starting. Two horses' almost unheard of, "Palmerston" and "Muster," struggled be? tween them for the prize which "Macgregor" had lost; but Just at the distance "Kingcraft," till then kept In band by his rider, came with ! a tremendous rush,outtlng down everything be? fore him, passing "Palmerston" and "Muster,'' and winning fl nally in a canter, by four lengths, amid one of the most demonstrative exhibi? tions seen for many years, Lord Falmouth be? ing congratulated on dil sides, "Palmerston" Just getting rid of "Muster" by a head for sec? ond place, the favorite pulling up a couple of lengths in their rear, to whom succeeded "Prince of Wales," and the others "entered for the prize. Consequently, "Kingcraft," with twenty to one against him, came In first, and "Macgregor," with three to one upon him, came in fourth. "To Judge by appearances," says the London Spectator, "it will In a few years more be as bad style for men to go down to the Derby as lt 1B now for women, and the Epsom Course will become a thing of the past." A FAMOUS GAME OF BASH BALI.. It has at last be?n demonstrated that the celebrated "Red Stockings" are not uncon? querable. The charm has finally been broken, and In one ol thc most stubbornly contested games of oaso ball ever played, they have been defeated by the Atlantic Club, of Brook? lyn. The New York papers gi'-j double col? umn details of the game, from which we make a lew extracts. The play opened shortly after 3 o'clock, the "Red Stockings" being first at the bat. They led off handsomely at first, making two runs, and then "whitewashing" their oppo? nents, seemed certain of victory. In the sec? ond Inning, neither side scored a run, but In the third the Clnclnnatlans obtained one run, and for the third time "whitewashed" the At? l?ntica. Drawing another blank In the fourth inning and the Atlantlcs scoring two, the crowd anxiously watched the movements of every player From this point a new life was given the game, and with each successive In? ning there came a fresh cause for interest, un? til, at the close of the ninth, with scores even, the excitement was almost unbearable. To have played a nine-Inning game with the I famous "Red Stockings'' and tied them with so small a score as five to five, to some mem? bers of the "Atlantlcs" seemed thc very acme of fame, and a draw was ordered. After some confusion and excitement, the crowd ' calling loudly on the "Atlantlcs" to meet their plucky antagonists and fight the battle out, thc field was cleared and the game resum? ed amid an almost death-like silence. Once more the "Reds" were put out without scoring, and again the "Atlantlcs" went In to win, but met the same fate as their opponents. This necessitated the playing of thu eleventh Inn? ing, and this time the Cinclnnatlansscored two mus, and the game was booked for them as certain. By important fielding errors, how? ever, the "Atlantlcs" managed to secure three runs for their share of the score, and amidst the greatest excitement they closed the eleventh Inning, with the score In their favor by the totals of eight to seven. Throats were made hoarse with cheering, and the victors were seized in the arms of their friends and borne In triumph from the field. THE TRIBUNE ON WICKED BEN. [From thc New York Tribune, of Saturday.] I lt ls intimated from Washington that the House will admit Mr. Whittemore to a s -at on thc technical ground that, though lt unani? mously believed and voted him to be a scamp unworthy of lils seat, aud guilty ot acts that should send him to the penitentiary, lt did not actually expel him, but allowed him to resign. Are we to understand that if an offender has the Ingenuity to escape a kicking by flight, his offence ls therefore less flagrant? Is it really true In thcorv, as we sometimes have found it in practice, that the escape of an acknowledg? ed criminal condones the crime? By such a ruling, for such a reason, the House will add no virtue to Mr. Whittemore and no credit to itself. * TUE FR ENC a STRIKES. The Opposing View* of the Working? The statement which follows shows the con? flicting views held by the French employers and their workmen In the existing strikes. It ls the answer of the iron founders of the De? partment of the Seine, wherein they quote thc workmens' demand.-?: Workmens' Demand, First-Labor shall be paid for at the rate of sixty centimes (twelve cents) per hour, at the lowest, for all moulders who have been at least four years at their trade. The maximum rate is to be settled be? tween the workmen and employers. Employers' Answer-This demand Is unjust, as it would result in excluding all young work? men whose aptitudes are not sufficiently de? veloped lo entitle them to employment at that age. It is Inhuman, because it would cause the immediate dismissal of old workmen whose infirmities disable them for full work. The employers can neither accept a fixed high nor low rate, as no one has thc right to fix the rate of wages. It can ouly be arranged between thc employer and his workmen according to competency and the law of supply and demand, which is the great law that regulates it. Second Demand-Immediate and complete aboliiion of job and piece work. Answer-lt ls impossible to abolish this sys? tem, both on the grounds of principle and of right. On principle, because lt ls found by ex? perience that this system forms thc first eman? cipation of the workman, for lt furnishes means of developing his activity, intelligence men and Employers. and skill. Tn right, because you cannot de? prive any laborer of the right to work as he prefers. If the employer proposes too low a figure, he need not accept it. Besides, this mode of labor is a sure means of Improving your condition and peaceably acquiring better wages. Third Demand-Abolition of extra hours or double pay. Sunday to count as extra time. The day to be, as at present, ten hours. Answer-Foundry work nas, from its very nature, accidents and exigencies entailing ex? tra hours, for which Increased pay cannot be accorded. Work on Sunday, being voluntary, cannot be regarded as extra time. Fourth Demand-The employers to nomi? nate representatives, whose names are to be submitted and voted upon by the workmen. Answer-This pretension is so contrary to the principles of liberty, and even common sense, that the employers must only simply refuse lt. The signatures of the employers followed, and a notice that they intend to employ other workmen, and that when they have a suffi? cient number they will recommence, business.
