Reflect their source divine;

The Rebellion in china

Iien-teh, the. pretender, is strongly entrenche d
in the affections Of the native Chinese, and he has
hitherto been uniformly successful. He has over
run many Of the southwestern provinces, and ac-
cording to one account has under his sway seven
ty-hye of the three hundred millions of the popu-
ation of China, and has established the seat of
his government in the great city of Wu-chung FLU,
the capital of Hupeh 1t is said, too, that he has
organized an effective administration. The New
York Euentng Post complies from an article in the
China papers, written by DR.. Mcgowan, the fol-
lowing account of the pretender and his prospects:
"Tien-teh, who is the acknowledged head of the
movement, and already exercises imperial powers
over many millions of'the Chinese, is a young man
now in his nineteenth year, descendant Of the
prince who overturned the Mongol rule and estab-
lished the Ming dynasty. His family continued
to govern China for upwards of two hundred and
fifty years, and with such moderation and Justice
as greatly to endear them to the people. They
were finally overthrown by the Eruption of the
fierce Tartars of the North, and those Of the
princes who survived the wars which followed
concealed themselves in the southwestern portion
Of the empire. Tien-teh is descended from one of
these and appears therefore before the people not
as an unknown, adventurer, but as the representa-
tive of dynasty that is still remembered with
warm affection by the Chinese. The extortions
OF the Tartar Emperor and his swarm of corrupt
officials have prepared the people to welcome any
change, but when that change involves the over
throw OF foreign dynasty and the restoration of
their native princess national feeling is begotten
Enthusiasm ncites the rebel armies, and their
treason to the powers that be becomes patriotism
and loyalty to their rightfu rulers Under such
auspices Ten-teh has steadily progressed in his
conquests, until he has now under his sway not
less than seventy-6ve millions of his countrymen,
whom he governs through the medium of a regu-
larly organized administration, assisted by minis
tiers and generals of great sagacity and ability.
"The real difficulty Of a native dynasty would
commence with tho expulsion Of the Mauchus,
tor it's stability would be in perpetual jeopardy
from the incursions of those hardy Adventures,
To maintain themselves against such warlike
neighborg, the Chinese would DO compelled to
court the alliance Of Christian States so called;
Independence is utterly out of tho questionable
choice being between subsection to the Mauchus,
or reliance on the power and friendship Of the
"harbarians from afar;" of these alternatives, the
latter would be preferred by all who have at heart
the present and future well-being of this large
portion of the human family It IS by rendering
obligations Of this kind that they arc to be con-
ciatcd, and not by aiding their conqucrors to re-
tain the offensive yoke. = l sg

The Mesilla valley.

We have already placed before our readers Ger
tain historical facts relating to the question of
title to this territory, which elected at re-
cent meeting of the citizens of Sante Fee, New
Mexico In quoting this summary, the Memphis
Inquirer Of July I'd says:
sit appears that Mr. Bartlett was mislcd and
imposed upon by the second article of the consti-
tuition of Chihuahua, in which the boundary line
OF that State is claimed to be at 800 Az 43'.
This line was run by Messrs. Staples and Condo
in the year 1884, but was not adopted by the gov
ternment of New Mexico; it was an act on the
part of Chihuahua for which she had no authority
The editor Of the Santa Fc Gazette was in Chlhua-
hua at the time this survey was made by Mr. Sta
pies, and vonches of his own knowledge these
statements to embrace the facts.
Mexico claims under the treaty stipulation of
Disturnell's map, and the initial point fixed by
Commissioner Bartlett. The facts given above
would seem to render our claim valid We think
it clear that the dispute is that should be set
tied by fair and friendly negotiation, and ought
not to give just grounds of war to either party

Duties on Sugar.

The sugar planters of Louisiana have held
convention 1t Donaldsonville for the purpose of
''aiding the Government in the execution of
the revenue laws" It seems that an extern
sive sugar refinery in the city of St. Louis, to
avoid the loss from leakage and fermentation
Of molasses imported by them, have reduced
the weight and diminished the tendency to
waste by preparing the nolasses before ship
ment. The article has then been invoced as
e.Melado, J" Concentrated Syrup" &c. The
duty upon these articles being much less than
that upon raw sugars. has occasioned strict
application of the law by the custom house
officers Of New Orleans. The planters of Lou
isiana also have taken deep interest in the
introduction Of preparation of sugar which, pro
tonto, supersedes their own productions, and
neutralizes the protection afforded by the tariff
|of 1916. The custom-house officers alleged
that the concentrated syrups. &c., had been un
dervalued in the invoice; they appraised them
again and required the importers to pay duty
on the excess of valuation, and penal duty Of
twenty per cent. to the collector. This dec-
sion was affirmed by merchant appraisers; from
this decision the importers appealed, and the
matter is pending before the Secretary of the
Treasury. The planters of Louisiana have, as
above, offered their services to aid in the en-
forcement of the revenue laws "as they under
stand them"

bankers of San Francisco, received from the
United States Government $4O0, 900, to pay for
city; but when called upon by the contractor to
disburse, they refused to pay his bills, for want Of
instructions. 1t appears that Congress appropri-
ated the money, but neglected to insert clause
in the bill ordering its disbursement; SO that
