The United States demanded cheap labor and China nnd&took to furnish ic, and not yet has the importation of celestials exceeded tha demand.

Of lire fifty- nine'j>erson8 'named in iho indictment fifty-four answered to their names. - The Attorney .General, overruling the opinion of the Post Oflice Depnr 1 - tnent to the contrary, has decided that “mCmbers-elect” are entitled to exer cise Hie franking privilege before they are sworn in. Asmall honse in an Atlanta coal yard was burned last week and after the fire the remains ot a negro named Henry Tye^Brnifcjupd in the ashes. The skull showed marks of violence and blood was found near . by. It is thought that he was murdered and then burned. of botli political parties to the race pre judices,of the very people who have been so long clamoring to have the col or line'and all social distintions in the South blotted out. As the Chinese were not citizens, and had no political rights whatever, they conld threaten little danger to onr gov eniment. They . were also practically denied in the West all right to the pro tection of tlie courts, and were persecut ed to .snch an extent that if the sufferers had been Christians and their maltreat- ors lieaihern Chinese the walls Pekin would have been battered down two years ago. If the negroes' of the South had been heated with one tenth part of the cruelty and injustice that has been exercised toward the poor chinamen who have come . thousands of miles, across the’sea" to obtain honest t-mploy- farmer: -in tthafcj county six years agol meat in our Christian land, there would bougbfhrfaTm on credit. With'end now hi The Silver Dollars.—The rule which went into Effect January 1st, iu the New York and some other banks, not to receive silver dollai'3 except as a •special deposit, lias not as,yet -lia<| any effect uponriW circhlntidri and standing of the standard-silver dollar. • This is due perhaps inis much to the compara tively limited amount of the dollars rin circulation as to the fact that the dis crimination against them was by no means general among the. banks of the count#; how be a federal garison in every town. But there.are many serious charges against- the Mongolian. He is indtis- trions—he is frugal—lie works for li-ss wages that it takes to buy the whiskey and tobacco of the white vagabonds i and tramps w-lio vote so solidly to ele vate the negroes over the whites in the smith, docs betUr woik and dhnt pat ronize the grog shops of California where the great bolts of political opin ions are forged.- .These we admit are terrible charges viewed from the nar row sectional stand point of “Northern and Western bigots and fire-eaters.” Then the crowfiiug argument is that the hordes'of Chinese will over-run tho land and become as the flies of Egypt This is a strong point, and we want to see it tried.' Instead of the 150,000 Chinese laborers how in the United:: States, let about fonr millions come over, and lets give them a right to vote. Then let ns gag the intelligent tux payers with test oaths and bayonets until the ignorant degraded Chinamen pm all the carpet baggers and s'callnwags that come with them or j >in ih'.in into the most impor tant offices in the Northern and West ern States. We will then wait until these officials steal all' they can from tho public coffers after filling them by hon- orotis taxation and the sale of millions and millions of fraudulent, bonds. Then we will pitss laws requiring the refined, lovely ladies of the North to ride in the same cars with the filthy, strongseented, vermin infested daughters of the East (by-way-of-the-West) If this doesn’t suit the people there, and they try to cheat the poor man and brother out of his vote or bnlldoSe him with the potent- shot gnn argument, we will fill the pen itentiaries with their toasted chivalry, and raise the bloody shirt cry, etc, and soon. We hope onr Northern rendeis see the point we are driving at. We propose just to try the above as a mere experiment—not that we are iri faver of an alien lace, ir an “off color” gain ing the political ascendency or exercis ing any great political power in the Northern States, No, we merely want to show our gratitude for what they have done for the South, and to illus trate to the stalwarts Enlightened pro gress in its actual workings. But passing over the grim humor of the above, we believe that the advent of the Chinamen to our country has opened to our Christian people a most extraordinary opportunity to convert and Christianize them and to send TESTING FERTILI5 To onr mind the mest valuable document yet published by Dr. Janes, onr State Commissioner of. Agricul ture is the late pamphlet giving the soil test of fertilizers.——Learned men aud chemists to the cortrary yet we are old foggy in our notions enough to believe in the old adage—“The proof of the pndding is in the eating of itand when a fertilizer has produced well by actual test in the soil there can then be no doubt as to 7GAR FROM aMTYF.T? increase over unmauured laud of the same quality, and all the chemists in the m.iverse couldn’t make eyen our most intelligent farmer’s believe that it was worth any tiling. By, all odds the most important part of the document is that showing the comparative results from composts and commercial fertilizers. Ii shows that composts produce just as good results as commercial fertilizers, and cost only from one third to one half us much per acre,—besides all this the crops on which compost is used stands the drought' much bet ter. The weight of the testimony goes to show that commercial fertilizers pay best on fresh aDd clayey land, for there the chemicals fiud vuluble materials to nuite with and convert -into plant food; but oh exhaustad san dy lauds they do more,barm than good, and on these soils the compost heaps must be resorted to- if the owner would- not hasten thorn to sterility. It may actually true of many commercial ferti lizers that ou poor sandy land the most valuable ingredient is tbe swamp muck with which they arc adulterated; Mr. O. C. Gibbs who attends the session of the Amber at St. Louis, writing Tribune, says: “The greatest interest centered about the samples of Miller & Kenny, of Minnesota, Instead .of sending a quart bottle as a sample, they sent a barrel of last fall’s, crop, manufactured for syrup. Ou openiug it in St. Louis it was, found, tc be seven eights full of mnsh-sttert.r. Portions of this, taken from the. barrel in the pres ence of the convention, were placed in a little hand centrifugal milking 1,200 revolutions per miuute; and in about five minutes freed from mqlases, producing a beautiful, light straw-colored, dry su gar, yielding about seventy-five per cent, of the weight of the mush-sugar in dry. A sample of this sugar was ta ken to Belcher’s refinery, tested with the polariscope, and pronounced to con tain eighty-nine per cent, of genuine eane-sugai—the balance being water, glucose, gum, and other foreigu sub stances. TO THE FARMERS IN TEREST, A Dispatch from Gauze, Milan coun ty, Texas, says that Deputy Sheriff Carlton, with a posse, got after a party of Mexicans who had fired on ah Amer ican cifizeD, and overtook them near Milano. The leader refused to sur render. and {he Sheriff killed him! The Mexicans then began firing, whea Carlton’s posse deserted him, -and he fought- tintii rescued" unhurt by a party from Milano'. The Mexicans were jailed. Modjeska was originally Helena Ben da, aud was born in Cracow’ in ISM, bnt il is cheaper to haul it out of the married to G. S.

The missionary spirit of the Country is beginning to wake up to the importance of this matter, and in a few years we will see the good work be gin to bear fruit. Surely there may be the finger of God in this Chinese ques tion. We are glad Mr. Hayes has had the courage to veto the anti-Chinese bill, and we hope that veto will be sustain ed.

To say that most men are relnctant to learn anything of advantage to them selves ought to be quite absurd, but it is not. To learn is a practical confession of error or of ignorance, and to be taught- implies tbe superior knowledge and culture of another. Grown up men believe thatlElie-y know enough al ready respecting matters of material in terest to themselves. • Moreover to learu requires a certain menial exercise which is irksome. Hence book farming is not only unpopular with tbe masses, but the mention of it is offensive. Nevertheless men have learned iv great deal within a decode. In taking new departures however they invariably move stealthily as if afraid that' some upstart is about to say “I told you so”. Wliat they learu now they will prac tice after a while, when nobody is looking. The intensely “live” men who peo pled the land ten years ago have pret ty thoroughly . learned that to take for tunes by. storm is scarcely practicable, a’tlioagh they once despised the man who doubted that impetuous dash was bound to win. It has been learned by many that three per cent a month, beginirg at the far end and coming this -way, is about as de structive as a cyclone. Men have learned that the mathemat ical signs by wiiiehjtliey so ingeniously demonstrated tbe advantage of buying back to China thousands of native mis- j one ct -op with the proceeds of another sionaries who might capture the very j are delusive. Fortunes made on papor REMEMBER THIS. — Persons mailing newspapers, maga zines or periodicals of any kind should hie careful to put on a;sufficient amount of postage stamps to secure their trans- ■ mission, as the regulations af the Post- office Department compel Postmasters to throw Ml packages where the amount of postage is not sufficient into the waste basket. All packages of two onrices or less can be sent fori cent and 1 cent for every additional two ounces or fractional part thereof; Of ten persons will put a package info the mail-boxwith a 1-cent stamp which w: ighs a fraeti- n over two ounces. These eannot- be sent to their destination. Ob serve this and you will save stamps and papers. Let the Postmaster weigh all yorir packages when you arean doubt. . . are cheap enough certainly, bnt they are apt to disappoint sanguine theorists. Men will learn before a gieat while that convenience is one of the luxuries which poor folks cannot afford. It is convenient to use commercial fertili zers. Men will learn to make better manures at home and at less cost, just as they have learned to do what they sometimes believed was impossible—to make cotton for less than fifteen cents a pound.
