A SHEET OF PApER.--lt is curious to re
fleet, says the Boston Eagle, to what uses a
sheet of paper may be put. 1t lies before
you in state of virgin purity, and its ut.
most value is cent. 1t is scrawled over
with pot-hooks and hangers, few "pro-
mises to pay" are written OIL it, and it be-
comes good for thousands of dollars. A
piece of wedding cake is wrapped in it, and
it is kissed by the rosy lips of lovely maiden,
and placed under her pillow as spell TO
conjure up in her dreams handsome lover,
fine estate, and moderate quantity Of re-
sponsibilities. 1t is received by one person,
and he blesses it for bringing him the glad IL
dings of promotion TO fortune; by another,
and he curses it for the information that he
is disinherited In accordance with the
characters upon it, it lights up the eye or
waters the cheek; it makes the heart throb
with JOY or quail with sorrow; il is treasured
as precious relic, or torn in pieces with in
conceivable disgust. The destiny of the
sheet of paper on which we are now writing
is to afford copy for our Devil, and food for
reflection to thousands.

WHALERs.-We have received from its editor

18th of August to the 10Th of October, 1874. One
of these papers contains interesting table relative
to the whale fishery; from which it appears that the
total amount of whaling property of all nations touch
ing at the several ports of the Hawaiian Islands from
January l, to October TO- 1874 is estimated as fol-
lows, viz: $is,225,9l0. 1913 ships. 10000 men.
AS large proportion of these vessels touched twice

ther third is deducted from the above amount to
approximate to correct estimate, which will make
the several amounts as follows:

of American property engaged in this business will
strike every one. At the reduced estimate, it ex-

SIR think it desirable, in view of the late events
at Canton, that our counirymen there should under
stand distinctly the view entertain Of their egs re-
stions 10 the Government OF China and that of the
nited States.
The nations of Europe and America form a family
Of States, associated together by community Of civ
zation and religion by treaties and by the law Vi
nations.
BY the law of nations, as practised in Europe and
America, every foreigner, who may happen to reside
sojourn n any county of Christie ndom, is subject
10 the municipal law Of that county, and Is amens-
BILE to the jurisdiction Of It's magistrates any aceu-
sation Of crime alleged TO be committed by him with
IN The limits Of such county. Here the minister or
consul cannot protect his cUuntrymen. The laws Of
the place take their course.
In the intercourse between Christian States on the
one hand, and Mshommedan the other a diIere ut
principle IS assumed namely, the exemption of the
Christian foreigner from the jurisdiction OF the local
authorities, and his subsection as the necessary con-
sequence) 10 the jurisdiction of the minister consul
| or other authorities OF his own Government.
One the other of these principles is 10 be ap.
Piled TO the citizens OF the United States In China
There is no third alternative. Either they are TO be
surrendered up TO the Chinese authorities when ac-
cused OF any breach of law, for trial and punishment
by the magistrates of China or (f they are to have
jurisdiction of the appointed American officer in
China
In my opinion, the rule which obtains in favor of
Europeans and Americans in the Mahommedan coun-
tries Of Asia, is to be applied to China Americans
are entitled 10 the protection and subject to the urs-
diction of the officers of their Government The
ght TO be protected by the officers of their country
from the local law and the jurisdiction Of the officers
OF their country over them, insepanble facts.
Accordingly, shall refuse at once all applications
for the surrender of The PARTY who killed Sue Aman ;
which refusal involves the duty of nstituinp an ex-
animation of the facts by the agency of officers of the
United States.
Herewith enclose [copies of the letters of his

and of my reply. .Ha
You are at liberty to show this letter and its en-
