ANTEDILUvIAN RElfAINss-The largest
collection of gigantic animal remains ever
discovered in the United States, is now In
the central glass cases at the Patent Office
in Washington. They are the property Of
T. U. Bryan, Of Missouri, who in the sum.
ner Of l643, at great expense. and with
incredible perseverance and labor, bad them
sought for and disinierred from The ailuViaI
deposite in Benton county, in that State, in
consequence Of indicationsof their presence
Iaceidenilg observed by-a farmer in digging
a we'll. The National IntelIgencer suggests
that they must have remained thus inhum-
ed centuries upon centuries, II not thou
sands Of years; for il is not conjecture by
any means too extravagantto say that they
are altogether anfediluyian in their charac-
teristics. They are now deposited in the
Patent Office, awaiting the action of con-
gress, which Mr.. Bryan has invited ID pes
tition to purchase them for government, as
aboriginal memorials worthy OF national
preservation. They consist Of bones and
teeth Of the great American Elephant, the
lmastadon, magalonix and fossil horse. Some
of the animals 10 which these bones belongs

MACAO, July 5, 1874.
SIR: have the honor TO enclose to you a
copy Of ihe Treaty Of Wang Hiya, as signed
on the Sd instant.
On examining this document, you will
find, in the first place, that, in the descrip
lion Of the contracting parties, the language
of the stpula6ons, and the mode of execu-
ton. the style Of perfect equality between
the United States and China has been sedu-
lousy observed; and may add, that this has
been carefully attended to in the Chinese as
we'll as in the English duplicate ofthe Trea-
| ty.
You will perceive, in the second place,
that this Treaty contains many provisions
which are not embraced either in the Eng
lish Treaty Of Nanking, Orin the Treaty sup
elementary thereto, which comprehends the
tariff aud the commercial regulations.
First. The tariff is amended, by the re-
duction Of the duties on some articles of A.
merican production, and BY fixing, with great,
er precision, what goods are contraband, Of
subjects OfmonOpOly.
There is nothing in the English treaties to
limit the power ofthe Emperor 10 the exclu'
Ision of articles Of import or OK port.
Thus he might render all commercial priv
ileges nugatory, by prohibiting the exporla
ton Of tea and silk, and the importation o
: cotton or cotton fabrics; or he might obstFuc
> the commerce in these or any other articles
by making them the subjects of close mOnoP
Q oly, as is now the case with salt.
q This is guarded against in the treaty Q
Wang Hiya, by making the objects ofcontFa
band and monopoly a matter Of stipulation
; between the Governments. And no mod
!, fcations of the tariff are TO be made Wilhod
the consentof the United States.
Second. By the English treaties, the Con
!, lsul is security for the payment OF duties, an
4 IS bound TO prosecute for all infractions
:. the revenue laws of China. This is 70 tran
, fer TO the British Government the Office an
:, responsibility Of paying duties, which i
!. wolves much of regulation and Of form in h
s prosecution Of trade, which experience HI
|, already shown 10 beinconvenisnt to the snl
= iects as wellas the Government Of Gre
= Britain. All this Is avoided in the treaty
y Wang Hiya, by making the duties payab
3 in cash, which is Psrfectly acceptable 10 4
e merchant, and in accordance with the couE
= Of business in China.
Third New provision is made IN the al
g q plest manner for the trade, from port TO po
ilsIin China.
NJ A ship which, having touched At Cante
has there paid tonnage duties, and dischaI
ed . part Of her cargo, may proceed with
residue 70 any other port in China, with0
iii being subject 70 the payment Of tonnage

For the Union.
THE NAME OF OUR COUNTRY.

tbs plainly impossible to make name, consist
ing only of simple word, that is capable Of ex-
pressing the distinctive character of government
This is emphaticay system sui generis, being al.
together different, in its origin, spirit, and end, from
that of all others of which history gives ac-
count II consists, in fact, of a number of govern
mens, or sovereignties, united under oNE--of many
separate and particular powers confederated under
one common or general power.
The distinctive idea or meaning therefore, of our
government cannot, in fact, be expressed by sim
pie and incorporated word. Its title, it is evil
dent should be significant Of the union Of many
of such unity or sovereign whole as to include a
number of sovereign parts.
On the other hand, it is not to be denied, that a
compound word might be SO concocted as to answer
the partial object Of its trainers. But when done,
would be alike contrary TO every principle Of good
taste, and TO the idiom of all modern languages;
while, after all, it could be appropriate
title as one formed of many separate words The
name, therefore, which country has received by
the common consent and usage of all nations, just
the suited to designate its intention design.
A change, moreover, of this name, is obviously
impractcabe, and every attempt to effect it, against
the united force or judgment of the whole world,
would be marked only by folly and defeat
So appropriate, indeed, is the commonly received
appellation of country that it will be found to
express not only the past and present condition OF
its government but the character of its desti-
ny and the inevitable progress of its dominion Adj
hitting, however, that the adoption of another name
were practicable, the associations of whole
history would be ruthlessly thrown aside by the
madness of the scheme. The attempt, alone, of
such project. is indeed wild and visionary in its
character, that we are filled with ordinary
prise and wonder that the proposal should ever have
been the subject of grave serious consideration
Nevertheless il is not to be denied, that passion
for novelty, united to an ambition of notoriety, is
highly congenial to our species; and the tendency
of these principles is, at times, unfortunately too
strong to be checked even by our natural sense Of
the ludcrous, or the wholesome shafts of ridicule.
