Cheating The Gods.

The various customs mentioned by Fatl
er lie Compte are still in vogue on board Il
Chinese junks, whenever bad weather ;
apprehended, and it is really curious to oil
serve how the cunning and trickery =
common in China are manifested also
their religious practices. The devotion {
the Chinese appears often to consist in d,
ceiving their gods by some artifice, doii
them ill turns and catching them in ira:
from which they cannot extricate them
selves. If storm is very violent they S,
the spirit of the sea wants to swallow t.
ship for prey, and then the captain, il
stead of animating the courage of his sal
ors, and man9uvering the ship in the be
way he can, cunningly gives orders
make a miniature ship to deceive Il
wrathful spirit, and the crew set to woi
with an incredible mixture of simplicil
and knavery. Nothing is omitted to rer
der the deception complete. The lit
junk has its masts, its cordage, its sails, j.
flags, compass, rudder, boat, arms, even j.
cooking utensils, provisions and merchar
disc, down to the very account books, witt
as many paper figures as there are re;i
men on board. When this absurd and d.
graceful lie is complete, the Chinese phys
iognomies expand into cunning smiles i
the success of the artifice. Then the tan
tams and tambourines sound, fireworks al
let off, and the little mock ship is throw
overheard with thousand imprecatior
and in the midst of the most deafenii
clamor. All eyes follow it with anxiet' ;
and as soon as tbs swallowed by the wavi;
the crew burst into shouts of laughter, ar.
rejoice to think how nicely they haN
tricked the spirit of the sea.

senator Wade Racking Out,

Finding that the proposition of dividing

made at Lawrence, Kansas, does not meet
with rapturous favor, he is now address,
ing himself to the work of making the
public believe that he did not broach auy
such proposition. The speech, in which he
set forth that Infamous proposition, was
reported by the reporter of the Ne0 York
Times-a reporter that the Times assures its
readers I" is at once too experienced and
too conscientious f" to make a mistake on
so vital point" and that she heard all he
Senator WADE) said, took notes of it on
the spot, wrote them. out and consulted
two or three of the gentlemen with him as
to their accuracy" .
The Senator confesses to having said that
'the inadequacy of the compensation of la
Dor was creating an uneasiness and rest
lessness among laborers everywhere, as
manifested by strikes, by endeavors to linn
it the hours of labor, and thousand other
Indications" sc.
This "uneasincss and restlessness," grow
Ing out OF 1nadequacy OF compensation.
among laborers, is what they have secured
in return for assisting the Republican par
ty to power in 1860. The leaders of the
Republican party then assured the labor
ers and workingmen that If they would
only help the Republican party to get con-
troll of the Federal Governmental they should
receive as reward for such service the most
unbounded prosperity. Instead, they are
subjected to such distress and poverty as
they knew not of in the days when the
Democratic Party administered the Gov
ernment. Should the laborers longer vote
against their own intesests by voting to
continue the Republican Party in power?

Maxtmilian.

The Radical press is greatly exercised
over the murder of Prince MAxIMILIAN-
The extreme Radicals, with their usual
zeal, excuse and commend that bloody deed.
They find numerous "war necessities for
the act, whilst the more conservative portion
deprecate the barbarity of the Mexicans in
tone that is highly commendable. That
it is an inexcusable, barbarous murder
none can deny, land JUAREz and his associates
for this deserve to be banished beyond the
pale OF civilization. We would include in
the cargo, however, his allies and precep-
tors In our own border. ~ -.t. e
II FRANCIS JOSEPH is made of the materi-
al he processes to he, it will not be great
length of time until the men who have in
this age of civilization renewed the prac-
tices of barbarous ages are either exiles or
suffering the same cruel penalty they have
countenanced and inaugurated.
Whilst every true American disapproyed
of the official conduct of MACMILLAN in at
tempting to establish an Empire upon this
continent, yet that is no reason why they
should approve of his murder for mere
purposes of revenge. ..... .-.-
The absorbing question now is, ''what
will be the course of Austria in the pre-
misses P" And whilst this question is being
solved by the Austrian Government, would
it not be well tor our Government to deter
mine what is to be done with the men who
set these Mexicans an example greater in
its magnitude than the crime committed by
them?
The actors in that tragedy at Washing
ton have stifled public opinion and sue
ceeded in measurably quieting the affair.
But such grave offenses must not go uDno-
ticed. Such men should not be permitted
to continue in office. SO long as they are
thus screened the crime becomes national
crime. The Radicals were jealous in their
efforts to connect DAVIS with the murder
of Mr.. LINCOLN, and why do they not
bring to justice the murderers of Mrs. SUR
RAFT? Mr.. LINCOLN and Mrs. SURRATT in
this Democratic Government were equals.
Each possessed the same personal rights,
and were possessed of the same rights of
protection, and the murder of one was as
barbarous, cruel and unlawful as the mur-
der of the other. That they were both
murdered none pretend to deny. One was
barbarously assassinated by BOOTH and his
confederates, the other by military COM
mission, organized to convict. Let all
suffer alike. Let the next trial after SUR
RATS be the perpetrators of this second
inhuman act, and the law will be vindi-
Gated. The example is one that will lead
to the most disastrous results.
What will Austria do in regard to the
murder of Maximilian and what will the
authorities do in regard to the murder of
Mrs. SURRATT? are questions involving the
moral code of nations.
1t is question as to whether the barbar-
isms of the dark ages are again to be in
augurated, and inaugurated too by coun-
tries claiming to be republic.
