of applause. He said General Grant would do
what Mr.. johnson never has done, and that ID
to make loyalty to the nation AMI the Union
respectable. Whenever or wherever 1t was ne
cessary Ior the safety of Republican principles
or the Republican party, he advocated the most
stringent measures If the railroads could not

FRIaHTFUL PERSECUTION OF CHINESE CHRIS
T1ANs.-The Catholic converts in Cochin China
are being frightfully prosecuted by the lea
then authorities. letter from Cochin China
to French religious paper says:
A traitor, named Gia, in the service Of Duoo,
brought to the 6Onze several Of his brother
workmen, whom he knew were Christians.
The first, named Han, bora on his visage the
characters ta-dao Gnfdel). with which he had
been marked some years ago at BInhdInh. In
answer to the bonze Thac, he replied that he
was Christian. Au order was Immediately
given to bind his arms and legs and throw him
into burning cau.dror. The unfortunate man
cried out: 70 my God, my God!" But the
popalace shrieked in reply 1t is useless:
your God will not come to save you.'' Another
Christian. named T1eug, was also given up to
Thac. and suffered similar fate. Tleng sue
ceeded in breaking the cords wich bound him,
and fled to little river close by; but he was
soon recaptured and thrown again into the
flames. Three other Christians gave way be-
toro such torture, and declared they were hea-
thens. They received the talismau, and were
put into the ranks of the band. Two Of these
apostates related to me the preceding facts,
which were also confirmed by he traitor Gia.
This brute vas not content with burning alive
the two Christians mentioned above; he killed
with his own hand two others, one OF whom was
. woman with child at her breast. He is at
present in custody. On the day after, the boaze
ordered the rest Of the Christians captured to

The fact has been already stato,l in The
NEWS that, in consideration OF the very gene
raj and disastrous failure OF The sea island

the accrued interest upon the debt incurred
for provisions advanced by the government
an extension of the time allowed for
the payment of the bond shall be
granted, without further interest, until
the 6rst day OF November, 1869. We further
mentioned that, in order to carry out these in
structons, General Howard had issued q cir
cular letter, creating commission, the men,
bers OF which are to be Colonel Edic, Assistant
