A SAN FRAYcIsoo correspondent
alludes to the marked difference between
the Chinese and Japanese races as they
are represented in California. He says:
1.-THE Japanese are quick to appreciate
the advantages of foreign improvements
of all kinds, and really adopt our man
ners and customs when travelling among
us. They are anxious to perfect them
selves in all our arts, and to study
our institutions in the minutest details
In this they differ from the Cinnamon.
The latter is a law unto himself and,
however long he may remain among us,
he remains essentially Chinaman. His
civilization is older than our world, if
the Mosaic account of the creation
is correct, and he is perfectly con-
tent Herewith. In his dealings with
us he conforms cheerfully to our
laws, and is in this respect model
which our own citizens might study to
advantage but he governs his family,
his trade, and all his private and social
tffars by the laws of Confucus and the
habits and customs handed down to him
ahrough countless generations of his
Ancestors

Whatever may tell upon the national
prosperity is realized no less by the
lumberman in the Arostook regions OF
| Maine than by the sugar and rice plan
ter in Louisiana ana Inc Carohhss.
This is truism. None will at
tempt to gainsay it, and even
Radicalism, in its shortsightedness,
is being gradually brought Ito a
practical realization of it. In the de-
pressed financial condition Of the South,
the Western producer and the Eastern
manufacturer and tradesman are begin
ming to discover their own ruin. The
fact that the Southern planter has raised
more corn and less cotton this season, is
one of great significance. The farmer of
the West is already beginning to inquire
where he shall find market for the
products Of his fields, which he has sown
more widely this year, perhaps, than ever
before. Can he look to the moneyless
South; or expect to find purchaser in
the planter who has, in self defense, sown
his own fields with maize? And what is
the condition of things in New England ?
We are told by the Eastern press, that
at no time during the last Thirty years
has cotton manufacturing in that Sec
ton of the country been in so de-
pressed condition. The mills are
running at a loss in Lowell, Law
renee and all the other manufactu-
ring towns of Massachusetts, The Man
chester mills and print works have goods
on hand unsold to the amount of up
wards Of two millions of dollars. The
same state of things likewise exists with
the Amoskeag company, while the Stark
mills are said to have sunk $40, 1000 with
in few months. Nor is this depression
confined to the cotton manufacturing
interests only. In the wooden mills the
same condition of things is said to exist.
The shoe business also-at Lynn, Hav-
erhill, and other large shoe manulactur-
ing towns in New England-is repre-
sented as being in lower condition than
ever known before. Why such state of |
affairs throughout the country, as we'll
in Massachusetts, as in Tennessee ? Can
not Radicalism see in it the legitimate
fruits of its own blind course-the proper
results of Gripping the energies and
paralyzing the resources of section
that stretches over what was once eleven
free States of happy and prosperous

work at his trade few thousand dollars.
He was induced to invest his savings in
manufacturing enterprise, and in
three years or so found himself a
rich man. Now he is supposed
to be worth not less than halt
million. He is a good natured,
ignorant man, who is by no means pulled
up with his good fortune; he says that
his success is due to no merits of his own ;
that whatever he touches turns to money,
and he can't help it. He is simple in
his tastes, and would like to live on as he
lived so many years, and as Thousands
of New England mechanics live. But
he has a wife and several daughters, and
the poor man is overruled.
Last winter they must live at hotel

which, they did, of course, and this sum
mer they must have a country residence.
So, being attached to the place of their
birth, and perhaps laudably solicitous TO
impress their old neighbors with a sense OF
their .pecuniary Importance, they bought
handsome house at O., and proceeded
TO furnish It in the most sumptuous style.
The things that have gone into that
house have been discussed under every
root in the town. There was carpet in
the parlor that cost S500l But in the
midst Of this luxury the mistress
thereof is miserable She has secured
the services Of two ladies who have
lived abroad, and have also been
residents Of houses on Fifth Ave

selves the entire charge Of the household

B6S- The spirit of resistance to
Radical prescription is pervsding all
classes of Conservatives, not only here,
but elsewhere throughout the State. The
cutting sdrift by Conservatives from the
blacks, who saw fit to obey the behests
of Radical adventures in perpetuating
the anarchy with which poor down-trod-
den Tennessee is cursed, has already
caused q terrible commotion in the
Jacobin ranks 1t is pronounced q
prescription of black men for opinion
sake, and silly Radicals, appalled, at the
probable results, call loudly for confis-
cation and the Intervention of the cor
rupt Freedmen's Bureau to stem the tide
of indignation, which at last threatens
to bury the sillier dupes beneath its
surges. We record this fact not without
qualification. 1t shows that the Conser-
vatiyes have adopted line Of defense
fraught with the most sslutary results,
II rigidIy adhered to. Men cry out when
they are hurt, and the grosns in the
Radical ranks reveal the agony produced
BY the Inauguration Of this powerful
Conservative revolution.
