Heading Him or Round she World.


Hong Kee, Chinaman, who has been for
some time playing diamond cut diamond with
the sharp and enterprising San Francisco mer-
chants, and who lately victimized several Of
them to the extent of eighteen tho usand dol
lars, sailed last Thursday for China In tho
steamer Japan. But kilograms were at once
sent to Hong Kong, by way Of New York,
London and Ceylon, to arrest him and recover
the goods. Hong Kce, this Chinese Swart-
wouter from San Francisco offers almost q
ludicrous picture as he hurries to Hong Kong,
pigtail in air, as fast as steam can carry him,
only to be confronted and COMPOUNDED there by
the fatal message which has been sent in
exactly the opposite direction by electricity to
meet him. That the San Francisco merchants
can thus head him off round the world is q
surprising and significant fact. How II con-
fuses our notions Of east and west! How
strikingly IL indicates the part which electricity
and steam are to play in the future all over the
globe! How suggestive Is IL of the changes
which these potent modern agencies have
already made and are yet to make on the map
Of the world! Hcnceforth the United States
must occupy theproud central position hitherto
allotted by the Chinese themselves to the
flowery kingdom.

Increase the Police Force.

Within the past few years the limits Of the
city of New York proper have become so
extended that the Police Commissioners think
il an absolute necessity that the numerical
strength of the police should at once be in
creased. The present force is unable to cover
one half of the city asst should be covered In
certain parts Of the metropolis one policeman
is compelled to patrol post over mile and .
half in extent, and is held to strict account
ability for everything wrong that may occur
on his beat. In the dcnsely populated streets
included within the Twenty ninth precinct
these long posts are the prevailing rule. As
for that portion Of the city lying north Of
Seventy -first street, on the west side, the
police are SO few and the posts SO long that
country wayfarers by night or day are liable at
any time to be gobbled up by highwaymen, be
the guardians Of the peace in the vicinity never
so faithful in the discharge of their duties
Twenty two hundred men are a very small
number to guard all Brooklyn, Williamsburg,
Staten Island, and New York to and including
Yonkers. The power to increase the force in
this city lies with the Board Of Supervisors of
the county Of New York. They should at
once give the Police Commissioners the
authority to make the necessary increase.
This would 90 further than anything else that
could be done to put an end to the lawlessness
which now prevails.

LOVELY LIFE IN CRY OF BgoTHERLY
LovR.-The Philadelphia Press Of the 9Th inst.
makes the follow ing cheerful announcement =
"A hose company was christened yesterday
Sunday, stable was set on fire, fight
ensued, man was nearly killed, poor old
woman was robbed, almost suffocated to death
and turned penniless into the street, and series
of attempts at incendarism followed" II
such deeds occur in city where everything
is supposed to be lovely and brotherly what
may be expected in city that does not
enjoy a reputation for purity and sanctity
like PhiIadelphia-Chicago or 81. Louis, for
example?

A estate SoALPER. This is the term ap-
piled by the Springfield Qll) Register to an
officer proposed TO be appointed by the State
who is to make his residence in New York for the
purpose of advising emigrants in regard to I'LL
nois farming lands. The Register adds Sour
neighbors Of the Journal evidently want to be
made into a bureau and sent TO New York to
live at the expense Of the people. That paper
has just discovered that there are very rich
and valuable farming lands in Southern Ill-
nois, and no one else will ever discover this
fact unless hummer is sent down TO New
York TO advertise IL on the street corners as
do the corn and sore-toe medicine merchants
There are already enough scalpers and bum
mers Of this sort around Castle Garden, and
all enjoying easy living at the expense Of the
emigrants. The number should be lessened
instead Of being increased, as is proposed by
the Illinois Legislature.

the section is the North or the South? Is IL
strange If finally Southern men are finding out
that their local interests are stronger than
party interests2 We long since warned radi-
calsm OF this possibility.

PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF THIS Cry
This is day Of schemes for reorganizing our
topography. AT least three bridges have been
thrown, in imagination, across the East river.
There is one scheme for causeway across il !;
another scheme for causeway TO Governors
Island and one bold man has made a map
with the East river 80 filed in that IL is re-
duced to canal. Out Of all this IL is TO be
hoped there may come some scheme that will
practically stretch the streets Of the metropolis
oceanward across the level fields Of Long
Island. We must have room IL we are to be
the centre Of the world. Anciently great
cities might be little; but these are not
ancient times.

The BURLINGAME MIssIoN.-We publish
curious letter from an American Baptist mis-
sionary in China in relation to the Burlingame
mission. It will be seen that the entire enter
prise is regarded with disfavor and as only
another chapter in Chinese cunning and engi-
neering to keep outside barbarians from en-
croaching upon the interior of the Flowery
Kingdom. A little envy and jealousy, it ia
not unlikely, is mixed up with this opposition
on the part of American missionaries to the
Burlingame mission. The parsons are never
satisfied

men on Saturday, resulting in one man being
MORALLY wounded by an iron bar, in the burn
ing of one building and in the bombarding
and partial destruction Of another, remind
us forcibly of former days when such disgrace
full disturbances were even more frequent
than they have lately been in the City Of
Brotherly Love. In those good old days." it
is related, a Baltimore fire company which had
visited the Quaker City on an excursion, got
mixed up in fight between two Philadelphia
companies and whipped them both. 1t is a
pity that some Baltimore company was not
there to repeat the dose on Saturday. We
heartily approve the movement which has been
started in the City Councils Of Philadelphia in
favor Of such paid Fire Department as has
proved in New York an enectual remedy
against firemens riots. We must also strongly
recommend the introduction Of a paid Fire
Department in Brooklyn as well as in Philadel-
phia.

THE CASE OF BRAINE.-fs is doubted by the
Attorney General whether Braine comes under
the amnesty. We should rather think SO.
This fellow is pirate, merely. He shipped on
vessel here as passenger and then played
the pirate at sea with some associate ruffians
in taking possession of the ship. Being caught
he tried to give his crime the character Of an
act of war, but could produce no commits
sion from the Confederate government. If q
Confederate at all he was one of the same
stamp as the hotel burners.

THE ROGERS MURDER. Logan should be
held until the police have satisfactory
explanation Of three points-all things
that can be readily explained If Logan
is not the murderer I'll. What were
the circumstances of that alleged fight
from the police in which he hurt his hand ;
where did it occur, and what policemen have
any recollection Of II? 2. What has he done
with the white coat he had on when he left the
house in Greene street about the hour of the
murder; with whom and why did he change ?
3. From whom did he get the hat he wore
when he returned to Greene street, and was
he bareheaded when he came to the person
who furnished THAT hat All the detective
force might be well employed in working up
the history Of tina, one day in Logan's life.

TIE directors Of the steamship line connect
ing Australia With Europe and the United States
are about to abano.,u their enterprise. How
ever England may get he better Of our COM
merce on the Atlantic, it Il evident that she
strives with us at great disadvantage in the
effort to hold supremacy or even equality in
the Pacific. The Pacific is ours Holding far
the greater part of the eastern shore Of that
vast ocean, having one great port on its
waters and soon to have our metropolis con-
nected with it by continuous rail, how can it
be doubted that we shall eventually have such
command of its waters as to make it an Ameri-
can sea? Where then would be the slow COM
munication of British ships with ports on the
South Pacific, by the Cape Of Good
Hope, or even by the Isthmus lines2 They
would be so far behind time that they
may be scored as nowhere.% The coming Of
this future is seen in the REIMBURSEMENT of
the British Australian line. Here is chance
for the Pacific Mail. IF this company were in
spired by the proper spirit it would be estab-
fishing at some point on its line commune
cation with the Australian trade. Such step
would preclude forever new English lines and
give us full control Immediately Of that part
of the Pacific commerce. But this COM
pany is, we fear, run more in Wall street than
on the Pacific.

Congress Yesterday.

Another batch of propositions for the
amendment of the naturalization laws were
introduced among the miscellaneous matters
in the House proceedings yesterday. The
Copper Tariff bill was finally passed-a little
protective sop to the copper and sulphate Of
copper manufacturers. Considerable debate
followed on the Army Appropriation bill and
the various amendments proposed. The
Senate resolution providing for the meeting Of
the two houses tomorrow to count the cleo
toral votes for President was concurred in,
and finally, after an Intellectual effort of Mr.
Banks, chairman of Foreign Affairs, to set
apart Friday next for the consideration Of
some scheme for the annexation of the whole
island of Hayti, the House adjourned.
In the Senate Mr.. Sherman, from the COM
mittee on the subject, reported adversely
upon an immense batch of railroad jobs,
which is good sign, and the main debate OF
the day was on the pending impartial suffrage
amendment to the constitution, which we pre-
sumo will be passed and submitted to the
States as new subject for a little more radi-
cal agitation. From the prevailing signs in
both houses yesterday the lobby win have
comparatively small pickings from the closing
session of the Fortieth Congress.
