—The Chinese in California have begun
to go. The steamer that sailed from .San
Francisco for Hong Kong, a few days ago,
took 991 of them to their native land
The port statist istics of San Francisco
show that the arrivab of Chinese during
the year ended November 1 were 0,128,
and departures 8,740—of whom 0,2*29 went
to China and 2,517 to Honolulu—the ex
cess of departures over arrivals being 2,-
018. it b estimated that there are 02,000
Chinese on the Pacific coast, which shows
that this population b decreasing instead
of increasing, for when the anti-Chinese
agitation was began a few yean, ago, the
evtimetc was 100,000. The total number
of Chinese arrivals for twenty yean ended
December, 1878, was 230,430, and the
departures and deaths 133,401. At tljis
rate the Chinese will soon cease to trouble
California workingmen.
—A chair lias been endowed at Har
vard for the teaching of Chinese, but it
prases a sinecure for the Professor, there
being no pupils. At the East the reason
for this b dated to be an unwillingness to
devote time and enargy to the study of a
language of wliieh only a superficial
knowledge can be obtained, and that only
of a single dialect, the Mandarin Chinese,
which b unintelligible to the great mass
of the Inhabitants, including the mercan
tile class. In California thb is pronounc
ed a mistake. The Mandarin Chinese is
described there as the true language of
the country, spoken by the court, the
learned, the officials, and by all the ldglier
classes, both literary anil mercantile. It
b the only dialect which an American
should attempt to study. As commerce
With China increases, the utility of a
knowledge of the language of the country

Fltor. PnocTon axd the Meteors.—
Prof. R. A. Praetor writes to the New York
Herald to explain that Ms announcement
of a fight of meteors on the evening of
Day was construed too
loot enough in a Pickwickian
i by the public, to whom he seems to
think he owes a little apology. He puts
•Otoe of the blame upon Prof. Togson,
who, beiqg away off at Madras, can prob
ably stand it, but says: **I do not think
It cmt be shown that I made a prediction
on etther point, (that of the meteors com
ing “end on” or being visible on Novem
ber 37.) though I showed how desirable it
was that the heavens should be observed
that night. Writing now, when no news
of a single Andromede being observed has
reached me, (here at Montreal.) I yet
venture to express my confident anticipa
tion that many hundreds of meteors be-:
longing to that system have been seen by j
observers in thb country or in Europe.” j

“A Solid North."
That our dear brethren of the North
are really bent on being truly solid, will
be noticed from the fact that a motion
was before the Union League, of New
York, night before last, to admit no South
ern roan into that Holy Place. It was
laid on the table and not adopted at once,
because, as stated by a member, it was
hard to tell a Southern man or Democrat
from any other human being entitled to
admission. They bad all the ordinary
features of men—eye*, month, nose and
can—they bore no indelible mark of their
infamy, and, therefore, it might well hap
pen that, after admitting a brother in due
form, it would be discovered that he came
from Virginia, or the Carolinas, or Geor
gia, or some other proMbited and pro
scribed country, from which it was impos
sible that a worthy Union Leaguer could
come; and the solidity of tite brotherhood
be impaired in spite of the resolution.
Thb b an unfortunate state of facts,
and we don’t see how it can be remedied
except by a constitutional provision that
al! Southern men shall be branded as
such upon their foreheads, or in case of
refusal, shall not be permitted to cross the
line and mingle and trade with the re
spectable people of other sections, and
Congress shall have power to enforce thb
provbion by appropriate legbiation. It is
of vast importance, particularly when
offices are to be distributed, that these
Southern men should be kept out of tlic
company of the faithful children of the
Union League.
The Dangers of the Gould-Yander*
dilt Eailroad Combination.
New Yorkers, and tlic people of the
East generally, are much exercised over
the recent combination of the railroad in
terests of Jay Gould and W. H. Vander
bilt. Tlic West on the contrary crows
over it. Thus the Scdalia (Mo.) Demo
crat says:
There b every reason upon earth why
they should administer tlib immense pow
er liberally and practically, and not one
single reason why they should make it
arbitrary, hurtful or oppressive. Jay
Gould b Just the sort of inan tlic West
needs to make aggressive tlie West’s cash,
latent vigor and immense resources.
Heretofore tlie West has slept like a shorn
Samson.
Thb certainly shows considerable ig
norance of tlie workings of human na
ture. Unlimited power usually carries
with it arrogance and a dbregard for the
rights of those who may be in opposition
to it, though honorable exceptions to the
rule are not wanting. On this subject the
New York Bulletin remarks:
It b true that tlie railroads to-day are
beyond all comparison tlic greatest power
on thb continent; but whether it b In hu
man nature to exercise that power so as
to render it “arbitrary, hurtful or oppres
sive” is a point upon which we suppose
some difference of opinion may be toler
ated. Tlic developments before tlie New
York legislative Committee to in
vestigate the New York Central and
Erio are certainly of a character
to warrant some grave doubts
on tlie subject. Men oxorebing so vast
power, oiten in spite of themselves, be
come arbitrary and dictatorial, forgetting
that “it is excellent to have a giant’s
strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like
a giaut.” Tlic disposition of the railroad
corporations to misuso their power, as a
matter of fact, has alarmed the public, and
notliing will quiet that alarm, we sus
pect, save sucli judicious legislation as
while doing notliing to discourage legiti
mate railroad enterprise and railroad de
velopment, will secure to the trade and
commerce of tlie country—what these are
at all times entitled to—the benefits of
competition.
The Proposed Railroad Convention
on the Thirtieth of December.
Th^tesponses to tbe call made for a
convention of citizens of the counties ad
jacent to the Macon and Brunswick Kail-
road, and those living on the route of the
proposed extension under the lease, are
numerous, and from influential sources.
There b every prospect that the attend
ance will be large, representing many
capitalists of intelligence, who, doubtless
will consider the important interests in
volved in all their length and breadth.
It b highly desirable that the cities of
Macon and Brunswick, and the inhabi
tants, also,* of the region most directly
concerned, should spare no effort to retain
the control of thb outlet to the sea. We
are credibly informed that, if a proper or
ganization can be effected, the money to
bnild tlie extension will be forthcoming.
It beven asserted that the latter can be
constructed upon the sale of first mortgage
' bonds alone, while there is not the least
doubt of the ability of the present road to
cam the required sixty thousand dollars
lease money.
Onr people should not remain passive,
and allow thb highway, so crucially
important to their future welfare, to slip
though their hands. What say the solid
burghers of Macon? And will Brunswick
and the several towns and villages on the
line of route do their duty? Are the
counties north of this, too, who expect to
be so vastly benefitted by the extension,
ready to come down with liberal subscrip
tions to forward the good work? These
are pertinent questions, which must be
answered before tho convention.
Another Dividend.
The lucky holders of Southwestern
Railroad stock will he pleased to learn
from the notice publbhed elsewhere, that
a dividend of three and a half dollars per
share will be to their credit on and after
the 20tli of December,'at the counter of
the Central Georgia Bank, in this city,
The stock of the Southwestern Railroad
lias been steadily creeping upwards for
several years, until from 70 it has ad-
vanced to 103J in the market. At thb
time, dividend off, it b held at par.
We are among those who believe that
tlie salutary restrictions and checks expec
ted to be imposed by tlic “Railroad Com
mission,” in the removal of loeal discrim
inations and tlie proper regulation of the
several schedules of tlie different roads,
will tend to renew confidence in railroad
investments, and make these neglected se
curities more popular. At least we hope
And certainly tlie appointment of
the commission lias done no harm, as tho
present value of Southwestern Railroad
stock conclusively shows.
Aid to Colored Colleges.
It b thought that the bill introduced
by Senator Bailey to devote the unclaimed
pay and bounties of colored soldiers,
amounting to $510,000, lately covered
back into the treasury, to the various col
ored institutions in the South, will become
law. In that event it b provided that
the amount shall be funded in four
per cent, bonds, and tlic annual interest
thereof apportioned to the Howard Uni
versity, Washington, D. C.; Hampton,
Virginia, Normal and Agricultural Insti
tute; the Fbk University, of Nashville,
Tenn.; the Atlanta University and Straight
University, of New Orleans.
If tlic appropriation can be made con
stitutionally, it will certainly be a wise
disposition of tlie fund in question.
Help for Poor Ireland.
The destitute condition of the bnlk of
the Irish population at home, owing to
Mgh rents and the almost total failure of
the crops, b eliciting much sympathy in
thb country, and, we are glad to learn,
has at length taken practical shape.
In St. Louis, in a few hours, $222.50
were •collected, and the good work b to be
industriously carried on there and in other
cities. Thb b far better than encourag
ing fenianbm and striving to provoke an
other rebellion, which would almost
surely entail increased suffering and dis
aster upon that long oppressed but gal
lant people. We trust America, out of
her abundance, will deal generously with
the starving sons of Erin.
Ridiculous Errata.—The “intelli
gent compositor” irilf have his own way
occasionally despite the most transparent
corrections of proof. Thus, he makes the
editor say, in ins resume of the Central
Railroad annual report, that the net earn
ings per mile of the road “amount to
to^prompt and promote ^further 53,” when it was written, and rewritten
in the corrected proof $0,653 or about 6J
mills. We opine Mr. Wadley and hb
crowd would very gladly accept the error,
if the printer could make it good. Again,
in giving the amount of dried fruit trans
ported in 1879, the compositor made it
1S77- Minor mistakes the average reader
can correct himself, but the first of those
above mentined was too preposterous to
be overlooked.
1 of thb sort should be discoun
tenanced. These poor people should not
be deluded and allured from their homes,
especially at thb season of the year by
promises, expressed or implied, of pecu
niary aid. I aee no wisdom, bnt much
folly—no good, but much evil—in bring
ing to thb city multitudes of these people,
under the impression that when they reach
here money will lie raised and furnished
them to pa> tiieir traveling expenses to
the North, the West, or elsewhere. There
are hundreds and thousands everywhere
rvadi : • ride on railroads and to visit dis
tant cities if assured in advance that their
fares wiil be paid, and that food and
shelter will t*e provided for them.”
Christmas Beeves.—The New York
Sun telb of sixty-four cattle on sale in
tliai city, weighing 140,S00 pounds. Many
of the two year olds weigh over 2,000
pounds. They are grade cattle—a Dur
ham cross—and promise fine beef.
What of the TJtes?
A Washington telegram to the World,
of the 10th, says the Ute news from Col
orado is the absorbing topic of conversa
tion in the War Department to-day. Gen-
eralSherman,whenquestioned,by a World.
reporter, replied:
“I have nothing to say. If the Com
missioners effect anything it will save us
from a long, vexatious war. I sincerely^
hope they may be successful. We have’
nothing to do with the matter.”
General McCook, of General Sherman’s
staff, said:
“Ouray b with them. He knows they
cannot be brought to Washington for trial
If I was there I would take them prison
ers without waiting any longer. I have
had hut one opinion in regard to thb mat
ter from the beginning, and that was that
it b absurd to temporize with these
Utes.”
Adjutant General Townsend said: “I
never from the first have thought tlie In
dian murderers would be given up. The
Interior Department lias now exhausted
all its resources. Tlie war—for it will
come—will rest on the Utes; the Govern
ment will not be to blame.”
Adjutant General Drum said, when
asked if he believed the Utes would be
given up:
“No; it is absurd. The Indians at the
council are as deep in the mud as the
others, whom they propose to deliver, are
in tlic miro. I do not believe the real
guilty parties will ever be given up.”
The Indiana Negro Colonization.
A World Washington telegram says the
negro licgira from North Carolina b con
fined to tlic three counties of Lenoir,
Greene and Wayne. It had its origin in
manipulations of two or three negroes who
had been forced to flee the country for
had conduct—one having been indicted
for forgery and another perjury. Some
parties have furnished money to start
them oh their joumoy. One of these de
luded creatures, when questioned as to
the cause of hb leaving, said that Grant
had sent them word to get out of North
Carolina before Christmas and go to In
diana to vote for lilm against the rebels.
Congressman Singleton, of Mississippi,
who arrived here Saturday, states that as
he passed through Murfreesboro, Tenn.,
he saw a group of two or three hundred
negroes hound, they say, for Indiana.
Thero b no doubt that money has hecn
furnished to colonize colored voters in
that State on quite an extensive scale.
Senator McDonald told your correspon
dent to-day that from what lie could gath
er it*was tlie work of negro preachers who
had been hired by somebody to get up a
crusade in the South. Ho said there was
no extraordinary demand for labor in In
diana—indeed that farm hands were
down at barely living rates, and that in
tlie winter months much of thb sort of
labor was discharged and not re-employed
agaid till ploughing time, in the spring.
He apprehended that this influx of people
would become, as in Kansas, a serious
charge on the communities into which
they had been imported. He believed it
would react against and injure the Repub
lican party. He did not know whether
its leaders in hb State were responsible,
but the ultimate effect would be to lose
tlie Republican party many votes. Labor
was already cheap enough in Indiana,
and any attempt to further cheapen it
would injure the party held accountable
for the result.
The Dangers op the Fishing
Trade.—Gloucester, in Massachusetts,
small fishing town, reports, during a sin
gle gale, tliirteAi vessels sunk and 143
men drowned, leaving fifty-six widows
for whom $28,210.72 cents have been col
lected. During the year 1879, thirty ves
sels have hecn lost, aggregating 1,980 tons,
valued at $118,789, and with them 240
lives, leaving eighty-eight widows and
219 orphans.

The Cruel Test a Wife Underwent
Yesterday—A Dramatic Scene in
the Hayden TriaL
New Haven, December 10—There
was a dramatic scone in the Hayden trial
to-day, during the cross-examination of |
Mis, Hayflen, when Mr. Walker asked the
following question:
(Now, madame, you needn’t answer
thb question until you are told to by the
court. Mr. Hayden, you say, b your hus
band; the father of your three 'children,
and he has been a devoted husband to a
loving wife for between eight and nine
years; you have constantly maintained
pleasant relations, and there has been,
and b now the utmost confidence existing
between yon; yon are convinced of Ms
innocence, and know, if he is found guil
ty, he must suffer ignominious punbh •

Diseases of lie Tftrmt ana Lnngi
Diseases of tha
pulmonary organa
are so prevalent and
fatal, tnat a safe and.
reliablo remedy for
them is invaluable
to every community.
Ayek’s Chkhsy
Pectoral fs such a
remedy, and no
other so eminently
merits the confi
dence of tho public.
It is a scientific com-
‘bination of the medi-
ijt '.i dual principles and
-”v>.curative virtues of
tlie finest drugs,
T, chemically united,
to insure the great-
est possible efficiency and uniformity of re
sults, which enables physicians as well as
invalids to use it with confidence. It is
tho most reliable remedy for diseases of
tho throat and lungs that scionca has pro
duced. It strikes at the foundation of all
pulmonary diseases, affording prompt
and certain relief, and is adapted to pa
tients of any age or either sex. Baing
very palatable, tho youngest children
tako it without difficulty. In the treat
ment of ordinary Couchs, Colds, Soro
Throat, Bronchitis, Influenza, CUr-
gymnn’s Sore Throat, Asthma, Croup,
and Catarrh, tho effects of Aran’s
CiiKitnvPectoral aro magical, and multi
tudes are annually preserved from serious
illness by its timely and faithful use. It
should bo kept at hand iu every house
hold, for the protection it affords in sud
den attacks. In Whooping-cough and
Consumption there is no other remedy
so efficacious, soothing, and helpful.
Tho marvellous cures which Avee’*
Chekry Pectoral has effected ail over
tlie world are a sufficient guaranty that it
will continue to produce the best results^
An impartial trial will convinco tho most
sceptical of its wonderful curative powers,
as well as of its superiority over all othai
preparations for pulmonary complaints.
Eminent physicians in all parts of tho
country, knowing its composition, recom
mend Ayek’s Chekry Pectoral to inva
lids, and prescribo it in their practice.
The test of half a century has proved its
absoluto certainty to cure all pulmonary
complaints not already beyond tho roach
of human aid. )
