owing to his refusal to submit certain required
forms of cOurtlv etiquette. The Chinese authoTi-
ties made considerable concessions on this point,
but politely insisted that Mr.. Ward should either
kneel presentation to the Emperor or should
touch the floor with his finger. A ludicrous COM
promise was proposed, by which Mr. Ward on an
preaching the throne, should bow low. and then
two chamberlains would approach and raise him up.

and his council however, declined to- accept this
ingenious compromise; and so Mr.. Ward lrft with

make nine low bows, and it il Is difficult to see how
his personal or official capacity would have been
more seriously compromised by oune touching the

than by making this prOtracted obei~Ence.

Ward conferred, aud who rejoiccs in 'he cuPhoui-

He considered that, when i was customary TO
kneel before the Queen OF England, or kiss the

ceremonies that the American minister was request

Ward thought differently; and thus President

The NATIVE AFRICANs.--We had brief state
mcnt, by telegraph, of the fact that two native
Africans were exhibited at the Agricultural Fair,
Just held at Columbia, S. c., and were awarded
premiums. The Columbia South Carolinian thus
refers to the circumstance.
Our reporter, yesterday, noticed the exhibition
at the Fair Ground of two Africans. 1t was not
intended that any notice Of it should be taken in
the South Cdrottnidn, as we did not feel satisfied
with giving 1T notoriety, unaccompanied with an
expression OF disapproval. We cannot doubt that
the trainers of our Federal Constitution intended
the Federal Congress to have full control of the
trade; and that the Southern States expected it
would be prohibited. When, then, in accordance
with this, laws are passed prohibiting it, we cannot
approve of so open demonstration of their viola
ton Persons may object to its being declared
piracy, and may refuse to bring in a verdict of
guilty, when individuals are so arraigned; but this
act brings into question the whole power of Con-
gress to prohibit the trade; and this can only be
questioned by supposing that the trainers of the
Constitution did not themselves know what they
were doing; for, without an exception, there was
no expression Of opinion by them either in the
Federal Conventions or the State Conventions that
did not concede to it. Where, then, the grant Of
power to prohibit is so clear to our mind, we can
not, in justice to position, in noticing the
exhibition, otherwise than express our disapprOba-
tinn.
