A COMMUNIST COLONY. Forty Thousand Reds To Be Trans- planted to Arizona. - POSTON'S PECULIAR PROJECT. Disposition of the French Government. A FRENCH STATE IN AMERICA. Details of the Plan and the Exhaustless Resources of the Territory. 18 IT A BIG JOB OR WHAT? Be PaRrs, July 7, 1871: This morning I had a lengthy conversation with’ the Hon. Henry D. Poston, ex-velegate from Colo- rado, who proposes to found a French State in the ‘Territory of Arizona. Yesterday, by invitation of M. Victor Le Franc, Minister of Commerce, he pre- sented an eladorate pian of colonization, and also fied a formal proposition, in brief, with Mr. Wash- urne. The plan of Mr. Poston 1s simply to convey ‘the 40,000 Communal prisoners to the Pacific shores, and transport them, via the Gulf of California, to the rich mineral regions of the great Territory of Arizona, where they wouid become laborers, miners and producers. In its primitive aspect this scheme seems to be the best solution of the delicate ques- tion of how to dispose of the prisoners. There are be THREE MODES OF ACTION open for the Ministry:— First—To shoot the prisoners. Secona—To put them at liberty, Third—To transport them. To shoot them would be an inhuman massacre, and would call forth the execrations of all Christen- dom—it is impossible. To set them at large in France or in Paris would be a wild man’s dream, for this action would sigaily the begiuning of anotner civil war. It would bring back to this now sufficiently ardent population a targe increment, ‘which has been its pest and curse for over half a yeentury. ‘to keep them where thev are, iu prisons, fortresses and on board transports at Brest, Cher- bourg and otner ports, would bea burden to the (public treasury, and is manifestly impracticable In all its aspects, The third resort alone remains open— transportation; and how can this best be accom- plished? France has Algeria, Martinique, Pondt- cherry, St. Pierre and Miquelon, but (hese with her other colonies are unsuited to a Parisian popula. tion; and besides, they are unproductive, and those ‘which possess the most favorabie advantages are -either in a state of chronic wariare or Aave climates which would destroy inhabitants accustomed to the soft, salubrious temperature of France. Even sup- (posing that the prisoners could be colonized in FRENCH DEPENDENCIES, the government, besides paying for expensive trans- portation, would be obliged to maintain a strong police in addition to a strong military establish- ment. France manifestly has cnough indebtedness to cancel. Various other plans oi colonization in South America and Brazil have been discussed, but the evils are the same that have attended all settlers ‘who have gone to those sultry and intolerable parts. It is conceded by the Ministers and by the ablest French ecunomists, to whom the plan has been sub- mitted, among them M. Michel Chevalier, that the question can only pe settled by transportation. Heretofore France has discouraged emigration from her area by every possible means. In 1853 was the only exception, when the Emperor, desiring to rid France of the ‘red’? idea men, co-operated with a company in establishing a national lottery with a grand capital prize, Every subscriber who did not draw a prize im money was entitled to receive a ticket furnishing him with a card for transportation to Calitornia. Thousands embraced the opportunity presented, under the attractive name of L'INGOT D’0R, ‘and went tothe Pacific slope. What is the result to-day? That many hundreds of them have returned to France, and are good citizens, enjoying the products of their Western industry m an in- come of from 15,000 to 50,000 francs per an- num. The tascinations of France, are, however, too great to permit any spirit of colonization togain ground, save on tne heels of some great national amisfortune or after such a colossal crime as the Commune of Paris. Indeed, in 1867, one of the con- ditions of participating in tne Exhibition was an obligation, laid down by the Emperor, that no tracts, pamphlets or documents should be circulated showing the advantages of any scheme of coloniza- tuon. But now the temper 1s very different. Wit- ness the embarkation of 280 Alsatians from Havre in THE SHIP ERIN, Yeaving these shores with tears in their eyes and singing for the last time In bereaved France the grand old ‘Marseillaise.” A gentleman who wit- messed the sight told me that it moved the stoutest ‘hearts to see those men and women seek @ voluntary exile from the mandatory laws of the German em- pire. Natives of Alsace and Lorraine go daily to the Legation here and make inquiries and then arrange- ments to go to the United States. They all have money, and they number in Paris now over two hundred. NATIONAL RELIBF, Mr. Poston, who was watching the progress of the Commune from London, conceived his idea of dis- posing of the Communists as | have descrived, He claims that France has suffered only because she ‘has not colonized. Great Britain has sent her sur- face population to Australia, India, New Zealand and her other numerous colonies. Germany has gound her back door toward America; Russia her outlet in Siberia; Spain her land of exile and new- orn industry in the West Indies; Ireland in America, and America perpetually toward the Pacific slope. But France nas had no outlet, and, therefore, bool OVERSTRAINED SOCIAL FORCES Yhave exploded in assassination and blazed forth m wuthless incendiarism. Her dark days have been ‘brought upon her from a self-contained policy, and ‘burning Paris because she has not understood that dangerous classes, like a profligate boy, must be woouned away from the domestic asperiiles and wrongs which have caused the evil. Emigration is, ‘therefore, only a safety-valve, and it Is high me ‘that this nation had applied the lever and adjusted , ight, ° wee DETAILS OF THE SCHEME, France, unable to colonize or contine in her own dependencies without enurmous expenditure aud ‘with no financial result to compensate a plan of guch @ nature, should in the cause of humanity, for her own commercial advantage and relief, pay the ‘expenses of the prisoners to California, It 1s not proposed to embark them on board steamers or warty them across the Continent from New York,* lor by the latter plan many Americans would pro- st, ‘Transports, of which tiere are many useless a the seaport towns, and sailing ships are projected fto convey the colonists to America—guing around tthe Horn, sailing up the Guif of Caliorma, thence up to the Colorado River, a distance of 150 miles, ‘where the emigrants will be dispersed throughout Arizona, @ territory more Wan hall the size of rance. Quce there Mr. Posion declares there are nree tlelds of occupation. kins mihi dd BU mines. Second—Agriculture, Third—Labor on the Southern Pacific Ratlway. Neither the government of the United States nor ‘the Pacitic Railroad can pay the expenses of traus- tion to the port of San Diego. ‘iis must be done by France; and it is estimated tu cost $250 @ head—that is to say, this sum will furnish ach colomist with tools and implements for above ‘@ year, including ‘ents and such other PIONEER ACCOUTREMENTS ‘As may be needed. 1% is estimated that the entire Cost of consummating the scheme Will be $7,510,000 ‘Which would be returned to France tn one ¥ @ fixed settlement in the Territory, through the me- dium of inevitable commercial relations, Tue proj- ot is ripe for consummation and can be carried out 4n thirty aays, and the entire 40,000 prisoners, in- ‘cluding 2,600 women, could be landed in time to Reed the ground for the spring crop. It was by similar means to those described Mat Brigham Young settled the territory to north- ‘Wara with his vigorous and growing colony, whicn has now become one of the sensations of the cen- ‘tury. Mr. Poston would nave every twelve colonists rnished with a hand wagon, family berths and lousehold utenstis, and every man with his indi ‘vidual toois; each vessel furiished with good sant- wey @nd a pre-organized polige, which would produce harmony on the seas. Not one fota of American civilization would then be touched by the communists. Americans who might object to having such a mass of extremists transported ShrougRonE States would have no objection to seeing them landed at SAN DIEGO, on the same principle that a man will admit a scala Wag through his back door when he wu refuse him the parlor entrance. Poston has applied to tne government to oped a ‘bureau of colonization” tn Parts, and he ts now preparing all the auxiliaries to the perfection of his project, Every Frenchman yet consulted has approved.

SOIL, AGRICULTURE, CLIMATE AND MINERAL WEALTH. ‘The soil is rich, but of course yet crude and un- fertilized by any cultivation, The immense wooded forests grow vast areas of oak, ash, fir and cotton- wood, The valleys of the Gila, Salado, San Pietro and Colorado are capable of producing bread for 2,000,u00 people, and the adjacent lands are irrigated by iwnumerable and constantly flowing streams. The accessivility of Arizona by the sea 1s a point urged as paramount to all others, ‘the Gulf of Cali- fornia is the Mediterranean of the Pacific, and the Colorado ts the Mississippi of the same slope. Tae stocx finds no more prolitic soil or climate than that of Arizona. Horses and cattle can find ample pasture on the plams and among the mountains, and there will be no necessity tor providing food for stock. All the means of mdustry possessed by the colonists can be turued Ww the seeding of the arable lands tor food for the population. Un more than one-third of the entire lands of the Territory two crops @ year can be grown, such 13 the exhaustless nature of the earth and the peculiar fecundity of the breezes, ‘the climate 13 salubrious and soft, and the pre- vatling temperature throughout the year about seventy degrees Fahrenheit. There are seidom frosts, and snow 18 almost unknown, in the quarters where it falls lasting but a few cays. Rain prevails ia June, July, August and September, and the rest of the year the lands are irrigated by springs, existing to @ great number, and by the melting of the snow and ice on the mountain tops. ‘Ihe mineral wealth Ol the projected Frencii State consists in vast de- posits of gold, silver, platinum, copper, lead, tin, iron, nickel, coal and iron. The presence of these ores 18 authenticated by eminent naturalists, and practically by working the mines. There is no sur- face mining in the ‘Territory; itis all “deep mining," and these resources will have to be unbosomed by companies With large capital. THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD is now putting down tts track on the thirty-second parallel of north laiitude. ‘The company was sec- onded by the Congress of 1870-71, aud the bill was approved by the President. The line of construc- tion 1s to be 1,600 miles in lengtt, the western ter- minus being at San Diego, and the eastern at a Smalt town m Texas, The company hopes to complete the entire line in wwo years, and is now working rapidly from both ‘ends, 80 that the two sectious wil meet. Congress has allowed the same land subsidy as was given to the other road. in parcels of alternate sections, The company offers to employ every Communist imme: diately upon bis arrival at wages he could never have earasd in France, even though the paid chief- Vaio of a great insurrection, It is believed that the country at large would prefer white lavor to the ex- tensive lutroduction of the CHINESE ELEMENT, especially as the Parisians embraced in the scheme are highly proficient in all the mechanical arts, and the finest exemplilications of two great virtues— industry and economy. But this railroad would give cheap transportation to the colonist as well as employment. Itis to run through one of the finest districts of the Territory along tae Gila River, cross- ing the Colorado near the coulluence of the two, For COMMERCIAL purposes I have already alluded to the mines; but there are also rich deposits of guano, salt, soda and copper and silver ores, as well as many ol the minor minerals; and what with these resources could not be done, especially when tne Isthmus of Darien Canal links ocean to ocean’ Tae agricultural products are not less numerous. ‘The eartn will produce corn, wheat, barley, cotton, sugar cane, sugar beet, beans, peas, hops, poppies, sun- flowers, melons, pumpkins and all sorts of Amer- ican vegetabie. 3 THE RESOURCES. In fruits there 1s already a young and vigorous yield. Over one hundred and Sfty years ago the Je- suits brought tropical fruits to the Territory, and now besiues apples, pears, peaches and grapes there 18 an abundant production of or: 3, lemons, figs, apricots, mulverries and olives. The resources seem very extensive. Bullding stone 18 a feature, and in forest trees we flnd the pine, the cedar, the ash, oak, juniper, cottonwood, palo verde, hack- berry and mesquite. The last named is a peculiar tree belonging to the accactas, and 1t bears a highiv nutritious crop of beans, which fall to the ground. ‘These trees are often found in India, GAM as in other parts of America bordering on gulfs aud bayous, is also abundaot, Wild birds can be shot at all points about the head of the Gulf of California— geen ducks, curlew, plover and salt water fowls. n more diguified shooting the deer, antelope, wild bear, goat, have, woll, beaver and turkey are ound, COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGES. Mr. Poston is demonstrating to the French govern- ment the commercial advantages that will arise from the colony. He says that money expended in taking the pioneers to Arizona will return & hundredfold, A commerce will spring up, coin and mineral products from the imines will return to France, and the Frenchmen, accus- tomed to nis national habits, will send for wines and luxuries which can only be produced there. The prisoners know every trade, every occupation. ‘The taior can make clothes along the banks of the Colorado and the lapidary put nis fine skill on Call- fornia diamouds. Grocers, wine merchants, advo. cates and so on will find congenial shores on the Calutornia Gulf. OVER SIX MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND EUROPEANS have, since the beginning of the century, emigrated to the United States, and Europe has felt their re- Mected industry in the grain, tobacco, cotton and gold and stlver which have been shipped to these shores. The French residents in California con- sumed more than ten times as much ot Frencu pro- ducts thau if they had remained at home; and the world knows New Orleans became a rich and proud community, England to-day flourishes upon tne trade of her colonies. POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS, There 1s hardly, to my mind, any ground for fear from any future actions of such a colony. 1 know the men and have moved among them. Probably one-eighth are not original Communists. Irrespon- stble peng, French fickleness and the influence of the aggregations of members made the poor Paris- 1ans rally around the Commune. Toward the end they taltered; their devotion became feeble aud they as readily deserted it as they fought in its service, ‘This is the trath of the matter, 1d, bad men are Scion. them, but Indian tribes to deal with and four- teen United States military posts will have their influ- ence and consolidate a society, if that sentimental love for our institutions which’ all of them profess does not Insure their loyalty to the republic. ‘The laws must and shall be obeyed! Upon leaving Mr. Poston’s department he assured Me that the scheme has made a very grave impres- sion, 28 humanitarian, politic, industrial and benefl- cial alike to France and the United States. ‘The addiuon of ONE MORE STATE to the American Unton, ard that a French State, is certainly a huge enterprise. But it would be a prone consummation to see that civilization in Oall- foruia now spreading northward on the Pactfic coast receive the fresh support of @ colony of forty thousand Frenchmen clustered about the valley of the Co'orado to southward, developing its mines, building its railroads and fostering its crude agricul- ture, And atthe very moment when the Chinese question is rising in American politics a body of highly civilized colonists would put of the practical discussion of the problem for some years at least, FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE ERIE RAILROAD. An unknown woman, about sixty years: of age, was struck by an express train on the Erte Ratlway, near Lake View, N.J., on Thursday evening, and "instantly killed. Her legs and arms were broken, and she was badly cut up and mangied. She was intoxicated at the time, and was warned off the track but a few minutes before she was killed. Who she was is not yet known, as her body has not been identified. In her pocket was a pawn ticket for a dress left at Simpson's, in New York, on duly 20; the ticket bears the name Of M. Riley.

LOVE AND LUCRE. The Spruce Grocery Clerk and the Gushing Widow. A Smart Young Man Walks Into the Affections of a Prudent Widow and Walks Off with Her Money. Essex Market Court, so often the theatre of strange scenes and tne receptacle of stranger com- plaints, Was yesterday more than usually stirred up by the appearance of Mrs. Eliza Murphy, of 15 East Twentieth street, a lady fair, fat and forty, dressed in deep mourning, and with an air at once deter- mined and matronly. She came to make a charge against one Robert W. Bloomfeld for obtaining $600 of her hard-earned money under false pre- tences, by promise of marriage. Mrs, Murphy is a cook in the family of Samuel J. Tilden; she has occupied the position for several years. Her character for honesty, integrity, sobriety nd general prudence is beyond reproach, About a year ago she became acquainted with Robert W. Blooméeld, the defendant, “A HANDSOME YOUNG MAN, of about twenty-two years, who 1s outedoor clerk for the firm of Corwyn & (o., Nineteenth street and Broaaway. He was in the habit ol calling every day at the house where Mrs. Murphy was employed, and the business acquaintance soon ripened into friendship and the friendship into love. After an eight months’ siege at the shrine of the fair Eliza he succeeded in entangling the good lady so inextricably in the mazes of the tender passion that she was willing to give him, not only her hand, but her fortune. But Robert, the base ingrate, took the fortune and spurned the hand, On the plea that he was going into a busi- ness where he would be able to keep himself and his fair inamorata in aMuence, he managed to get her to consent to take her money out of THE SAVINGS BANK fnd deposit it in his bands, The money was re- ceived, but the marriage never took place, and the business proved a dream, a delusion and a snare. Two weeks after the time Ropert engaged to join hands with Eliza he married a young and blooming maltden and furnished her bower with the proceeds of Mrs, Murphy’s hard-earned savings. The following 1s tne affidavit of Mrs. Murphy, as sworn to before Justice Ledwith:— Kliza Murphy, of 15 East Twentieth street, New York city, being duly sworn, says: :—That about # year azo she became acquainted with one Robert W. Bloomfield, who was then a clerk in Corwyn’s grocery store, Broadway and Twentieth Street; that the said Robert W. Bloomfield commenced, about eight months ago, to pay his addresses to this deponent with the view and intent of marrying her; that he continued sald addresses and intentio: nd 8 OF MARRIAGE PROM up to the 10th of July inst, ; that on the 3U:h of June last he pro- mised to marry her in one month from that time; that said Bloomfield became acquainted some months since with the fact that this deponent had through prudence and economy and hard earnings saved up some money and had the same on deposit in a savings bank in this city; that the said Bloom. field, a few days previous to the ist of July, 1871, represented to this deponent that nis health was faiing him by reason of the hard work asa clerk in the grocery store aforesal id that, as he was folmg to marry deponent, she could, it she would, assist him by letting: hun have bud for a stock of grocerfes he had bought and was buying, and that he was about to open ‘a grocery city, by means of which be would be enabled to support and matotain ber as bis wi! He also stated that he would hire some rooms and furnish’ them for her and him to live mm; that he made these rep ntations up tothe 6th day of July, 1871, when this deponents, confiding in lis “waid promises and believing all his said representations and Statements to be true and honest, gave him the said sum of $8500, to be used and applied for the said purposes; that when abe handed him the said money he stated that he was going right down town to use the money to pay for the stock of goods he had bought, and also that be was going to hire the rooms and get thin: READY FOR TH MARRIAGE. Deponent further says that she saw him again on the 8th of July instant, and he stated be had hired a store in Sixth ave- nue, near Forty-sixth street, and that he had paid #20 on ac- count, and that it would be ready in a few days; that depo- nent again saw him on the 10th of July, when he said he was going to Troy for a few days, and that since then she has not seen him; that on Sunday, the 16th day of July, 1871,_ the said Bloomfield married another woman at the Fourteenth street Catholic church in this city, and {a now living with her as his wife at 360 Third avenue, New York, where he has furnished several rooms, and this deponent charges and alleges, furnished the same out of the money obtained by him from her upon his said several romises and representations above set forth; that said ioomfeld has not used any of ‘id monev for the purchase of goods, nor has he opened any store, nor has he fultiled any of bis promises; that he obtained the said money felo- niously from deponent upon false FRAUDULENT REPRESENTATIONS and with the felonious intent to cheat and defrand this de- ponent of the same; that at the several times he made the romises and representations aforesaid he did so with the full intent to cheat and di ud this deponent, Deponent prays for a warrant against sald iloomfield that he be deait with according to law.

The Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad Litigation. ° Boston, July 28, 1871, In the Supreme Court this torenoon J. G. Abbott, counsel for the Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad, and H. D. Hyde, counsel for George Ellis, of New York, withdrew their objections to the admission of the new trustees, Messrs. William P. Hart, George Talpot Oliphant and Charles P. Clark, as parties to the suit of George Ellis and others for the fore- closure of the Berdell mortgage. The Court there- upon issued a decree admitting the trustees as parties in accordance with the prayer of the peti- tion, ‘The receivers, who, for the past year, have been managing the road by order of the Court, hold their last meeting in this city to-morrow, when the entire property of the road will be passed into the hanas of the new trustees, It is believed that the action between the recetvers and the trustees will be entirely harmonious, and that litigation in refer- ence to the road has ceased, except the pending proceedings in bankruptcy in the United States Court, which cannot affect the property covered by the Berdvll mortgage. Change ot Gauge of the Louisville and Cin- cinnati Short Line Road. LouIsvViLLE, Ky., July 28, 1871. The proposed change of gauge of the Louis- ville and Cincinnati Short Line Road has been post. poned till Sunday, August 13. The narrow gauge rolling stock could not be got from the East sooner. The road will, when the change 1s made, conform to the gauge of its Northern connections, making a through une trom Louisville tothe Eastern cities without change of cars tor freight or passengers, Consolidation of California Railroads.

Thursday night, about ten o'clock, a perfect tor- nado swept over Trenton. The lightning was re- markably bright and strong, lighting up the street like flashes of a full sunny day. The thunder was loud, long and continuous, The wind biew in fear- ful gusts and the rain descended in torrents, A house in course of erection in Lamberton street, the pruperty of Miss Bradley, was blown down, and another house in course of erection by Mr, Matthew Moore, in Centre street, was shifted six inches from its foundation. In Centre street. two trees were blown down, and one of them, striking the house of Mr. Houston, broke a number of windows. The streets were strewn on Friday morning with branches broken off by the storm. An old weeping willow, six feet in diameter, which stood near the Assanpink Creek, was up- rooted by the storm and fell against a house with terrivie iorce, but fortunately no serious damage was done. ‘Terror fell on the inhabitants while the storm was in its fury, and it was expectea that the list of disasters Would have been much greater, THE STORM IN HOBOKEN. During the prevalence of the storm in Hoboken yesterday afternoon the lightning swept over sev- eral buiidings in Hudson street, and finally struc! the house No. 129, kept by Mr. Schultz, All the soot was dashed down the chimney and over the car- pets. The house was shivered, and Mrs, Schultz ‘was 80 affrighted by the terrific noise that she ran invo the street half frenzied, Fortunately no one ‘Was seriously injured.
