By "a??oX??rr?i'i>a3t I Expressly for the Columbia Phoenix.] IYe\v? Item*. NEW ORTIEAKS, June 7.-General Sheridan has appointed Benjamin F. Flanders Governor of Louisiana. Gov. Wells declined to voluntarily vacate his offioe, and protested, in writing, against the action of tho military authorities. PETEBSBURQ, VA., Juna 7.-Tho Presidential party arrived here this evening, on their return *to Washing? ton. 'The party remained an hour iu this oity. They were handsomely en? tertained with supper, and wero* the recipients of marked attentions. A number of addresses were delivered. PAMS, Juno 7.-A carriage contain? ing Napoleon and the Czar, returning from Camp Demurs, where a review wa3 given in honor of tho Czar, was fired into-whether to kill tho Empe? ror or Czar is unknown. WASHINGTON, Juno 7.-The follow? ing is the concluding paragraph of a lotter received from Butler to a negro meeting lost night: "Is it not a self evident truth that where tho land is held in large tracts by tho employer to be tillod by tho employees, there can bo no just and true field for the exercise of republican citizen; and it is ono of tho pressing exigeucies of tho country, os tho very basis of re? construction, that some plan must be devised by which tho lands of the South may be divided among those who shall occupy and till them." NEW YORK, June 7.-Tho Southern Relief Commission havo shipped 8,000 bushels of corn to Charleston and Savannah for interior distribu? tion since the steamer Purveyor left. The Treasurer received an appeal for relief from Clarendon District, S. C., from tho heads of sixty-soven fami? lies, representing 298 individuals. CHAHIIESTON, June 7.-The first consignment of now wheat reached Charleston to-day, for shipment North. Probably within a period of less than throe years, we sholl be ablo to toko the cars at Jersey City on a Monday morning, cross thc Missis? sippi forty-eight hours later, scale tho Rocky Mountains early Thurs- j day morning, sup comfortably with the Saints of Salt Lake City tho samo ovoniug, cross tho realms of perpetual snow among the peaks of the Sierra Nevada within the next thirty-six hours, and arrive in time for 5 o'olock dinner at San Francisco, on Saturday, a little stiff in the knees for want of pedestrian exercise, per? haps, but still fresh and flush with the excitement of au unbroken steam ride of over 3,000 miles. THE BLACK CROOK IN A NEW COS? TUME.-The papers state that Jarrett has set New Yorkers agog by his redressing of the "Black Crook." Nov?" dances and dancers, shorter skirts, uew scenery, giants, dwarfs, pnuohiuollos, &c, Arc, are tho added attractions. One scene, a hall of silver columns, pleased the spectators so prodigiously that they called out tho sceno painter a,nd applauded him loudly. Thc "Crook" having re? ceived new legs will now run longer than ever, and Jarrett will become pecuniarily several nabobs rolled into one. It is said that the Emperor of tho French has decided on suppressing all military bands, the regiments to bo marshalled merely by truuipefceers. Even the far-famed baud of Les Guides is only to be spared for awhile. There is considerable excitement at Rome, in consequence of thc poison? ing of half a company of foreigu chasseurs in the garrison at Tivoli. COMMERCIAL. AMD FINANCIAL.

BBEADSTUFFS. -The Chicago Tri? bune says that the present inflated prices of wheat are but temporary," and intimates that they aro mainly due to a "corner" established by speculators, on exaggerated state? ments of the scarcity of breadstuff's. The Tribune says: lu less than six weeks the harvest of wheat will bo gathered in the Southern half of the wheat-growing bolt of tho country, and that harvest promises to be au abundant one. A few weeks later will follow the harvest up to the Northern line, and that, too, promises to bo a most liberal yield. Under these circumstances overy ono must perceive that tho present high prices rest upon an ex? ceedingly flimsy foundation. Tho "corner" upon broadstuffs has beon successfully maintained much longer than tho hpeoulators expected; but its timo is nearly spent. Millors buy no wheat at present prices, and sales of flour aro confined to retail dealers, to supply the immediato wants of their customers. Yesterday there were 110,000 bushels of wheat and 67,000 barrels of flour in store in Chicago. Tho doily receipts aro fully equal to tho demand for local consumption, aud there is no other demand now, and will be noue until tho new crop comes in. This is a cheerful view of the mat? ter, which we hopo will be soon veri? fied by tho market quotations. Is SLAVERY ABOLISHED?-Isa ques? tion that has been raised in the Mary? land Constitutional Convention, now in session, upon the communicated opinion of Charles O'Conor, of Now York, to tho effect that slavery has never been lawfully abolished in that State, and that the amondmeut to that effect has no place in tho Consti? tution. This opinion was promul? gated in tho Convention to sustain au argument in favor of allowing slave? holders to claim compensation for emancipated slaves. QUESTION.-Tho Louisville Journal says: Some of the radicals ask, "Would you permit a rebel to talk defiantly and insultingly of the Go? vernment?" Certainly wo would, if tho said rebel should have tho least anxiety to do so. God does not blast those who talk defiantly und insult? ingly of Him; and has the Govern? ment any reason or right to consider defiance and insult to itself as worse than defiance and insult to the Al? mighty? There ure 5,000 Americans residing in Paris this year. Ordinarily there are but 3,000. They support eight special restaurants, four dentists and five banking houses, and now are talking of setting np a daily news? paper. The tgold production of Australia is said to be falling off. The decrease of production-winch was 2.085,001 otiuces in 1856-has been gradual and continuous until 1865, when it was but 1,480,597 ounces. Tho amount of grain now in Chi? cago, as reported by various ware? houses to the Board of Trade, is 2,050,000 bushels, being a decrease of 1,754,000 bushels of the same time last year. A London paper informs us that "a lady the other day, engaging a kitchen maid at a register ollice, she stipulated for a dry kitchen for her piano, and an hour a day to play." Some of the Maine farmers are going to try planting some upland rice seed from Panama, which ripens in niuety days. A valuable copper mine, contain? ing 90 per cent, of pure metal, has recently been discovered in Culpeper County, Va. A GOOD TIUXO IN A GOOD PLACE.
