The emperor of China deals summsrly with in

says; Te Hung Chang and others not having
been sufficiently prompt in coming TO the rescue,

pose Of extermihating these banditti, but he is

ought to have done, while they were yet within

EXTRAORDINARY HERoIsM OF BoY.-The Rev.
E. j. Beck, the bishop Of New foundland's Commis-
sary, relates the following incident:
poor boy, whose name no one knows hut wa
may hope it is recorded In the Book Of Life fonnd
three children who, like himself. had been washed
ashore from one Of the many wrecks, wandering
along that dreary coast in the driving sest. They
were crying bitterly, having been parted from
their parents, and not knowing whether they were
drowned or saved, the poor lad took them to
sheltered spot. plucked moss for them, and made
them a rude but soft bed, and then taking OF his
own coat 10 cover them, set by them all the night
long soothing their terror till they fell asleep. In
the morning, leaving them still sleeping, be went
in search Of the parents, and TO his great joy
found them looking for the children, whom thew
had given up for dead. He directed them whera
TO lind them, and then went on himself to try 70
find some place Of shelter and refreshment Bat
when the parents were returning with their recoy-
cred little ones. they found their preservsr lying
quite dead upon the snow not far from where they
parted with him. The long exposure in his eT.
hsusted state was too much for his little
strength, and having saved his little sharge-a
died.

WHAT THE MoNeRELs ARE DOING.

The Charleston Nems of Saturday last has the
following comments on he doings of the Mongrc
Convention and lis members tho day preceding:
The business of the Convention yesterday may
be summed up in single parngragh-much talk
and little work. The great fight Of the session was
over Il proposition divide the jnisial district Of
Charleston into three election districts; but the
country rallied in stroug force, and the measure
was I-,--..cd. Charleston is entitled 10 two Sena-
bilious member looking 10 future honors proposed,
was left out in the cold
Lust evening caucus was held, il is understood,
for the purpose of completing nominations; but
with what results We ure not informed. The col
ored delegates are said 80 be exceedingly annoyed
at the division Of spois, and new 'slae" is being
prepared whereon will be written the names of the
'to-be distinguished, who expect to fill the proud
places of the Stale.
F. L. Cardoza, Rev. r. H. Cain, and one or two
other co.ored men have gone to Washington as q
sort of self-consttuted committee on prospec-
ting tour. First, their object is 10 find out whether
n colorcd man, if elected to Congress, will be
s.welcomed with hospilable hands" &c., secondly,
why Speaker Coltax treated such proposition,
made by letter sornc time ago, with contemptuous
silence; thirdly, whether the convention is sufh-
ciently Radical to be success in the eye Of the
boss reconstructionists of Washington and final
ly, whether any arrangement Gun be made TO carry
out land scheme, by which the freedmen may
enjoy their now petted day-dream as bona Gde
reality.
The general impression is that the mission will
prove failure, and that the colored people Of the
State will be most thoroughly disgustcd by the So
called friendly promises Of the Washington polii-
cians
The probabilities grow stronger every day that
the convention will not be able to finish its duties
before the l4th of March. Much work remains
to be done. Many heavy verbal contests are
cooking up on vexed questions yet to be consid.
creda and ut the present rate of progress this limit
10 the session is not an unreasonable one
Meanwhile, funny things continue to be said
and done on the floor, which make portions OF the
proceedings as good as comedy. For instance,
yesterday, one of the delegates accused another of
unpremeditated smartness, and to damage him
with regular "sockdologer" that should quench
and make n'forever after hold his peace. said
that he had "cut his eye teeth before he had done
nussing." The same delegate handled the Charles
ton members without gloves for trying to do some
thing which We did not clearly understand, and
he Indignantly declared that they were prepared
to 'sel their birthright for mess of partridges."
These sahcs Of rough humor never fail to "bring

moRE pEcAr1TAT1oN PROPOSED.

The removal of the Mayor Of Charleston seems
to have inspired the Constitution tinkers with
fresh impetus on the subject of removals. In the
Convention, on Thursday last, Mr.. E. W. NJ.
MAcKEY offered resolution requesting General
CAxpY to remove the present Superintendent of the
State Pcni,entiary, and appoint in his place WM
E. ROSE, delegate from York District. MAcKEY
stated that petition 10 that effect had been signed
by every member of the Convention. The resolu
tion was adopted.
The present Superintendent. Maj. T. B. LEE,
has been connected with the institution from its
,ncpiency, and has worked with an energy unsur
passed. 1t is almost Incredible the amount OF labor
he has accomplished, with slender means. and un-
der adverse circumstances. This is the testimony
of those best qualified TO judge, and while we would
moi dclract from the need OF praisc due to Ills
E1cccncy the Governor in regard 10 the progress
and completion of the Penteninry. we are conf
dent that Mai. LEE has not been less useful and
active in his own sphere, nor deserves less credit
for the discharge of his dniies. The rules and con-
due; of The institution are strictly rigid we doubt
not, but they do not exceed those of similar nati-
tutlOnS anu are enfOrcel Or inc VI soCie'g
ut large. Why this clamor, then. for n change?
1t is altogether probable that Maj. LEE has given
mortal offence to the aforesaid MAcKEY by keeping
close watch over some Of his League confrcres,
thus preventing return to the arms of the faith
full. Dut we more hnn suspect That the latter
clause impels the action of The Convention, and
that the salary of the Superintendent is looked
upon with longing eyes. BE this as it may, if
Maj. LEE is TO be removed, We hope that General
CASBr will follow up the precedent established in
regard 10 the Mayoral,y of Charleston, and detail
IT army officer TO fiji the vacancy. This course
will csev4ray close the mouths of hungry Office
seekers, md prevent much confusion and mischief

xoTrERrzs AND GIFT concEars.

In the proceedings of Congress, on the 9Th inst
bill was introduced TO amend the postal laws end
increase the efficiency of the postal service. This
bill mainly applies to money orders, but the last
section provides. THAT it shall not be lawful to
deposit in post Office, to be sent by mail, any let
tiers or circulars concerning lotteries, gift concerts
OF similar enterprises. offering prizes of any kind
on nny pretext; and pos'masters receiving what
they huve reason to believe such letters or cir
culsrs, shall send them 10 the dead letter office.
This is good move and we trnsi will become a
law, with severe penalty nfi xed for every viola
ton Of the same. These sw,ndling concerns are
numerous, and have had an unprecedented growth
since the war, owing TO the fact that there are SO
MANY scoundres desirouS of enrning livelihood
out of the honest toll of the masses We would
like 10 amend the section by providing against the
sending of such circulars - newspapers especially
as we are constantly deluged with them. accom-
panied by hatlerng offers to insert their advertise

gift concerts are so many unmitigafed humbugs

THE MAYOR OF CHARLESTON REMOVED BY
THE MILITARY.

The Charleston papers Of last Friday bring
us in detail the circumstances attending The re-
moval of Mayor GA1LLAhD from Office, by order of
Gen. CASBY. His successor is Breyet Brig. Gen.
W. w. Buhss, of the United States army. 1t he's
not transpired what is the offence of the late
Mayor Perhaps, he is too popular among the
"rebels," for it has never been charged publicly
that his administration during the past two years
savored of injustice, even unto the least OF the
nations wards. The News says:
The Hon. P. C. Gaillard, our late Mayor, carries
with him into private life the enduring respect
and regard of the citizens Of Charleston. In all
his actions he has been earnest, Jealous and sincere,
and in more than one trying position, he has acted
with the frarkness of soldier, the courtesy OF
cavalier, and the dignity of IN upright man.
