B~ We have sometimes been surprised by the course
of the Southern Citizen very talented paper published
at Knoxville, Tenn, by John Mitchell and VIM. G.
Swami. To be in the opposition to most of the aristo
cratic or autocratic governments of Europe almost
necessity for any person who regards the people the
source and the good Of the people the end and object
of the exercise of all power But in the United States
the case is different and however much any citizen may
deprecae the existence of any law and seek its repeal
while it is law he is bound to yield it obedience and
certainly the enforcement of existing laws is an oblga-
ton from which no public officer can escape without
neglect Of duty
Now the laws upon the subject of the savetrade and
Of those engaged in it, well providing for the dis
posal Of recapured Africans found on board American
vessels engaged in the savctrade plain and peremp
tory In carrying them out, he has DONE the Presi-
dent of the United States has simply done his duty
his imperative duty, and yet find the Southern Citizen
"pitchng in though the execution of the law
was an act of tyranny the part of the sworn execu-
tive of the country The President could not set the
Africans ashore in South Carolina to be made slaves Of
however desirable that might be-he bound to send
them back to Africa andhe has sent them He could not
do otherwise.
The Southern Cdi>en shortly to;be removed to Wash
ngton City is all ardent and powerful advocate for the
reOpening of the save-tradc and the introduction of AT
rcan negroes into the Southern States. But how is
this to be done? The South itself will not go for it
then how much less the North 1t is said that some OF
the extreme cotton States might but they this
issue to sepeate themselves from the whole body of the
South? Is Southern unity well national unity tc
be sacrificed? Right wrong the efforts of the Citizen
are chimerica and amleSs it would be to fight the
wind with your fists in the hope of changing its drec
ton.

THE CHINESE IN New SOUTH WALES TAXED e1O
PER HEAD.-The London Times correspondent at Sgd
ney writes
The policy of restricting the Chinese immigration has
been warmly discussed during the month complete
to throw political questions into the shade Excluded
from South Australia and Victoria by the imposition of
penalties the Celestas have sought to the nte
rior through the port of Sydney Ship after ship has
arrived from Canton, each bringing 500 at time of
these Industrious foreigners The shopkeepers are not
unfrendly towards this immigration, for the Chinese
purchase their outfits in Sydney and they are cash.

them extremely, and grudge them all the gold they get
much loss to themselves, while the working classes
generally look with evil eye the arrival of swarms
OF men who may at some future time abandon the gold
fields and supply squaters manufacturers and railway
contractors with cheap labor. The government intro
duced bill levying tax of Go head each Chinese
passenger arriving by 1t was expressly explained
by the premier that this sum was not intended to act
prohibition, but only to form fund to repay the
special expenses for police, interpreters &C., to which
the arrival of the Chinese will put the government

sent the views of the working classes demanded

obliged, however, to yield the other side to the de-
mand that special amount should be kept for the
revenue levied on the Chinese.

A SOUTH CARoLINIAN IND1GNANT.-We took a seat
last evening upon Of the iron benches in Jackson
Square seedy gapnt, tall-ookng man, about ff
y who dressed in shabby suit Of black, sat looking
at the children enjoying their romps the shell walk
contentedy On the farther end of the bench was sal
lor boy, in his rough-ookng sailor suit who had lain
down and fallen asleep. A policeman who had stroed
over from the Second District Station house. approach
ed the bench but before taking seat woke the lad ur
and told him to leave, and not be sleeping in that
square again" The boy picked up his cap which had
fallen off placed it on his head and started off down
board Of some of the schooners lying at the Plea
yune tier.
The old fellow next got up at the same instant and
walked off few PAGES but suddenly turning, he advan
ced towards the officer and addressed him in an excited
manner " Do you know who l amp" The officer an
swered rather gruly in the negative "Well," said the
tall questoner I'm from South Carolina" and placing
his thumbs in his armhoes, he surveyed the somewhat
puzzled officer for few moments and then reaching
out his right hand until it nearly touched the latters
nose said Il do think that the d-t coolest,
most mpudent piece of business ever heard tell of

BeD We really do not wish to do any injustice to Mr.
Brown still less to get into any discussion that might in
volve any personal feeling We will therefore only re-
mark in reference to article in yesterdays Herald
that we have never dreamed of introducing politics into
judicial offices. The clerk of court however, is an ere
I,auc officer simply. 1t is too late in the day now for
any body to raise issue about removals or appoint
ments on political grounds Every body does it,
Right or wrong it is the policy of all parties, and no
to be assigned does any one apart
from the individual himself look upon any such thing
otherwise than as matter of course.
