Our Relations with China.
NRW YoRY. Oct. %,

The approaching change in our relations
with China is discussed in the English press.
The Shanghai correspondent of the fssses,
states that the American national representa-.
tives have been treated with ill-concealed
dislike, and in some instances with contempt
He attributes this fact partly to an abuse Of

A petition is in circulation amongst the col

gress to extend the right Of suffrage to people
of al colors in the District Of Columbia.
There has also been formed amongst the
white people of Washington City, . strong
association, whose object has the same scope,
and Of this association, Mr.. BowES, the post
master, is President, and Mr.. CLEPHASE, In
ternal Revenue Collector, is Vice President.
Now, while the Copperheads of Iowa are
memorializing President JOHNSON to remove
all the Federal officers Of this State, who sup
ported Governor SrosE on the negro suffrage
platform, they would do we'll to call attention
to the course of Federal officers right under
his nose in Washington, and give him q sound
lecture on his. .dereiction Of duty to the Dem
ocratic party.
If they do not put q stop to it, at once, at
the great headquarters in Washington City,
the whole country will eventually be demon
allied and negro suffrage viii become the or

Emancipation was inaugurated in the Dis
trict of Columbia four years ago by Congress,
and it has swept over the country, and now
slavery is about to be mustered with "the

North Carolina Convention.
~ a0


The Heralds Raleigh correspondent says
of the North Carolina Convention: A sin
gular announcement was made BY the Chair
man, to the effect that after dilligent search
he was unable to procure an American flag to
hoist over the capitol, and had to send to
New York for one. Nothing, it is said, but
the timely receipt of the telegram from Pres
ident johnson, saying that North Carolina
should at once and forever repudiate every
dollar of the Indebtedness contracted to assist
the rebellion, prevented the Convention from
assuming the debt, as they had their plans
very adroitly laid for the purpose, but on the
reading of the Presidents despatch, the ordi-
nance was Immediately taken up and passed,
amid cheers and great enthusiasm, there be-
ing but few negative voters. The proposed
amendment to submit it to vote of the peo.
pie, was not adopted.
The ordinance which was passed for the or.
ganixation in some of the counties Of mill
tary force to suppress outlawry, has, it is IN.
derstood, the approvalo of the national militia
~ forces.
Resolutions were adopted requesting the
President to restore to the people of North
Carolina all their constitutional rights; to re.
move the military, and to transfer civilian
prisoners to civil authorities.

Hon. e. n. Stsxton, Seraoyr Of Wor
Washington, D. c.:
Srs-1y attention is respectfully called to
the many complaints of severe treatment to
which the First Iowa Cavalry, now serving in
Texas, are subjected under command of Major
General Custar. Excessive and unreasonable
duty, brutal and unmilitary punishments fol
trivial offences, unauthorized Interference with
the mails, whereby the members of this regi.
ment are almost deprived Of communication
with their friends and families, are among the
many abuses complained OF, and information
Of facts on which they are based is derived

ed TO indulge the belief Of great misconduct
on the part OF this General towards these vet.
eran troops, and to again demand the imme.
diate Interference Of your Department in thei,
behalf
This 10 the first time that q sense Of duty
has compelled me to call attention to the
alleged misconduct Of general officer to an
Iowa regiment. and it is the only instance, SO
far as my knowledge extends, where Just
ground for complaint has existed; but in the
conduct Of the general named. the violasions
of law and regulations have been so palpable,
and his treatment of these men so indecen,
and brutal, that forbearance on my part would
amount to criminal neglect of duty.
In view OF the fact that this regiment has
been In active field service for over four
years, participating in the most arduous and
periious campaigns Of the western division OF
the army. respectfully suggest and urge that
it be diAcharged - soon Is the exieencies Of

A correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, writing from Mobile, gives sad account
of public sentiment in Alabama. He speaks
of the suspension of the functions of the
Bishop and clergy Of the Episcopal church in
that State, for opposition to the Government,
by military order, and says that hostility is
universal and that it is only restrained by the
presence of the troops. The writer says:
"Few persons in the North are aware of
the true status of the people of Alabama.
The northern press generally give out the idea
loyalty, and that the work of reconstruction
is going on smoothly and promptly. This is
an error Without exception, Alabama is
the most disloyal and insubordinate State in
the South Her offices are filled with origi-
nal secessionists, or with rebels, who are con-
quered physically, but acknowledge no change
Of sentiment. There is not single loyal pa
per in the State, and if . northern man were
to establish one, its patronage would depend
upon the army and the few resident Yankees.
The entire press of the State seem to devote
their whole editorial talent, which is very
slender, to denunciations of the policy of the
Government, to slurs, ISLANDERS and false.
hoods in regard to the management of the
Freedmen 5 Bureau, and to cowardly inuen-
does against the existing military power.
They dare not openly denounce an officer,
but, by degrading his Office, they hope to rid
themselves of wholesome rule. They de-
nounce, and worse than criticise, military
order, and wind up with blarneying compi-
ment to Major General Woods, or some dis
trict commander who is responsible. They
fill whole columns with falsehoods concerning
the negro, and insults to the Freedmen Bu-
reau, and finish by some slathering fattery of
Gen. Swsyne, or some subordinate officer
connected with the Bureau management.
Very frequently they commence and continue
long, weak, but insulting, comment upon
Government policy, or speculation upon the
future action Of the Northern States, and end
with ridiculous, and certainly distasteful,
praise Of the President. They speak in terms
barely within the limits of decency, of every
member of the cabinet, and then declare that
all their hopes for happiness, peace and jus
tice are centered in Andrew johnson, the
9 true son of the South"
That is precisely the state of feeling and
the policy amongst the northern copperheads,
and at heart we presume the Alabama secesh
are quite as loyal as the copperhead support
ers of the Presidents policy in the North
