LONDON, Oct 16.-The London Times to-day
in an article ON the Chinese Mission, thinks
the fact that Mr.. Burlinghame is not a native
of China will be no obstacle to his success at
courts to which he is accredited. They will
forget it if he does, if he bstains from interior
ing with political intrigues in which China can
certainly have no healthy interest. If he acts
as though there could be separate national in
terests in Europe and America, as indeed there
are not, so far as their relations with China are
concerned, and if he accepts as the primary
function of his mission to discover and explain
what are the best lines of trade both for China
and the western countries, he will have accom-
plished much for China, ard something for the
rest of the world. No state can have SO per-
sonal an interest in a success of this kind as
Great Britain, and none could be more willing
to contribute to it,
1t is understood that the basis agreed to by
Mr.. johnson and Lord Stanley for the settle
ment of the Alabama question is, that mixed
commission shall be formed which will hold its
session in London, and pass upon all claims
preferred by English and American citizens.

GEORGIA,
DEMOCRATIC pRoNUNc1AMENTo.


ATLANTA, Oct 16.-The Democratic Execu-
tive Committee of Georgia published the fol-
lowing to-day:
Whereas il has been represented by the Re-
publican speakers in the present canvass, that
the Southern people are in favor of the re-es-
tablishment of slavery in their respective States,
and Will commence by deprving the blacks OF
the right of suffrage. For the purpose of meet
ing this allegation and giving it positive denial,
be il resolved by the Central Committee of the
Democratic party in Georgia, representing the
people of the State, that the CHARGE is upe-
uuivocally false that for evidence that thew do
not wish to re- establish slavery, and could NOT
effect it if they would, we refer to the fact that
this State has assented to and ratified the
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States, forever abolishing slavery and involun-
tary servitude, except for crimes whereof
the party shall be legally convicted
That we reiterate the position taken by this
committee in late address, and in the report
of the committee on the state of the Republic
adopted BY the House of Representatives il
the legislature of this State on the 26th ut
That we also endorse the address of Gen. r
E. Lee and others in response to the letter iron
Gen. Rosecrans. That we acqulesce in TIN
present status of the colored race among us
and will protect that race to the full extent Of
our power In the exercise of the right OF suff
rage secured to them by the Constitution o
the United States, and amendments thereto
and the constitution and laws of this state.

many additional causes which so largely affect the

society, and which, consequently affect more or less
directly the welfare OF the entire human family The
mania that exists for precocious education and mar
rage, causes the years that nature designated for
