These ports have foreign commerce of S900,
900 900, and an enormous domestic trade, besides
which we have the immense internal commerce of
the Empire, radiating from these points, through
its canals and nayigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing speedy and
trustworthy means Of communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else, the eommu-
nieations Of the Government, of business, and of
social life especially in China She has postal
system, and her eniy means now Of communicating
information is by couriers on land, and by steam
ers water
The Western World knows that China is a very
large country, in the main densely peopled but
few yet realize that she contains more than third
Of the human race. The latest returns made to
her central authorities fOY taxing purposes by the
local magistrate make her population F0Hr hun
dred and Fourteen millions, and this Is more
likely to be under than over the actual aggregate
Nearly ali Of these, who over ten years old,
not only can but do read and write Her civili-
zatiOn is peculiar, but her literature is as exten-
sive as that of Europe. China is a land of teach
ers and traders and the latter are exceedingly
quick to avail themselves Of every proered facili
ty for procuring early information 1t Is observed
in California that the Chinese make great use Of
the telegraph, though 1t there transmits messages
in English alone To-day great numbers OF feet
steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, and
used by them exclusively for the transmission Of
early intelligence. If the telegraph We propose
connecting all their great seaports were now IN
existence ii is believed that its business would
pay the cost within the hrst two years OF ts sue
cessful operation, and would steadily increase
thereafter
No enterprise commends itself as in a greater
degree renumeratiye to capitalists, and TO our
whole people 1t is of vast national Importance
commercially, politically and eyangelically.
En-The stock of this Company has been un-
qualifedly recommended to capitalists and busI-
ness men, as a desirable investment by editorial
articles in the New York Herald, Tribune,
World, Times, Post, ErpresS, Independent, and
in the Philadelphia North AHeertean, Press,
Ledger Iaquirsr, hgs, Bulletin and Telegraph.

''KnOck d0aoa the id 6hte coated
lCltite trash" ELet'S kill eUeTY id
Democrat" Such, fellow citizens, were
the cries under whoseinfiuence the glo-
rious Republican party, the party of
"great moral ideas" the heightened
gentlemen'S party, the all the talents
party, went into action in Washington
City on the 7thiinst., armed with clubs,
pistols and raz0rs-the latter the favor
ite weapon Of the freedman-these era
zy negroes, incited by such miserable
white men as John w. Forney and
other speakers at their Republican as
semblies, ran riot in their excitement
through the streets of our Capital.
The police, however, brought these
colored gentlemen to their bearings,
although "the colored troops fought
nobly." Are we to have these scenes
enacted here too for the sake Of an in
creased Republican vote? Is our city
to be the scene of negro riot
and outrage? Is the cry which re-
sounded through the streets of Wash
ington to be re-echoed wherever these
demi-savages possess 3ufficientnumbers
to endue them with a riotous courage? :?
Surely the party which grovels so
low as to ally itself to such auxilliaries,
must be condemned as unworthy the
fellowship of any man possessing ordi
nary self respect. The dusky barber at
Wizards Hotel is Select Councilman,
and one of the Common Council is the
head waiter at the National Hotel.
In few years our own council may
be notified in like fashion; who knows
how soon, for Sambo is strong on the
hill, and may command one or two
in council. Tough! how the whole
thing disgusts man possessing decent
instincts, and how such wanton trifling
with the sacred forms on which free
government rests fills with serious APP
prehension every thoughtful citizen.
