Where there are debts due by sub
jects of China to citizens of tho Uni
ted States, the latter may seek redress
in law; and, OH suitable representa-
tions being made to the local authori-
ties, through the consul, they will
cause due examination in the premi-
scs, and take proper steps to compel
satisfaction. And if citizens of the
United States be indebted to subjects
of China, the latter may seek redress
by representation through the consul,
or by suit in the consular court but
neither government will hold itself
responsible for such debts.

One Of the editors Of the New York
E'cening Post has recently conversed with
an officer Of Gen. Saxton's staff Just from
the Carolinas. The Post makes the fol-
lowing report of what the officer said:
General Saxton has now about six hun
dred colored soldiers under good military
organization. They have been twice nnder
fire, and receive the highest Communications
for the vigor Of their attack and their ODE
,lience to orders, and their officers unhesi
tatingly repose full trust in them. "Ir

ted these facts so MS, 'they are trumps;"
and he added: 81 have always been a
Democrat and am not now an abolition.

valor and capacity of these men. / tell
you they would finish up the war them
selves if they were given the opportunity
to do it, and that too. without outragine
women or children-for have seen no in

Well does the Post say that testimony
like this. coming from an old pro-slavcry
democrat, is a sufficient answer to the
charge that the negroes will not fight ant
that they are worthless.

seems strange that we have men in our

withstanding these apparent interests,
glorify in the most cruel and cowardly

exhibit symptoms Of sympathy and revenge
