amusing incident occurred. A very i'll

battery. In the course OF the trial, a son

nEa,, A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing from Hong Kong, China,
gives the following description of the city OF
Canton:
A visit to Canton last week showed the
place in strange, quiet desolation. Since
the arrival of official dispatches from Pekin
announcing the treaty and the Imperial sane
ton thereto, the petty disturbances and
kidnappings i'll which the braves have in
dulged have entirely ceased. The city is
safe for ingress or egress, and any one who
is fond of dust and charcoal and dilapidated
ruins can satisfy his taste dd hbitum.
A few shops are open here and there,
and a few natives loiter about without
seeming to have any object in view. There
is a strange silence over this city, which
used to resemble beehive more than any
thing else, with its crowding, buzzing,
serambhng multitudes. In the river which
flows along the front of the city, andswhich
formerly was SO covered with boats, great
and small, that one might walk for lniles,
stepping from one boat to another-now
scarcely is boat to be seen, save those be-
longing to the five or six gunboats and
steamers lying before the place. To one
who has known Canton in its palmy days,
there is something almost supernatural in
the change.

BRfGHT AND FITcH.-Thc Washington
says:
The action Of the Legislature of Indiana,
in declaring the election of Senators Bright
and Fitch Illegal and void, is regarded here
as of any legal effect. Even those who
contended that the election Of these gen
tlemen was out of order, and in violation OF
forms, now contend that, inasmuch as the
United States Senate accepted the Senators,
