The following is the extract alluded
to in the above communication:
AT an early day a treaty was con-
Guided with China, which granted her
all the privileges of the most favored
nations, and when the treaty with
Japan was secured California rejoiced.
Many thousand Chinese are now on
the Pacific coast. The truth must be
told. We have outraged the Chinese.
Many years ago California passed two
wicked and obnoxious laws, in plain
violation of our treaty stipulations:
one known as the /" Foreign Miners
Tax which was only enforeedagainst
the Chinese, and the other a tax of
five dollars for landing in the country.
Both taxes were enforced in a barba-
and brutal manner. Asthe placer
mines became exhausted, the neeessi-
ties ofthe country, and particularlythe
building of the Pacific Railroad, in
yited the Chinese to other fields Of

Ofall the silly charges which partisan ma
lice has invented and brought against Presi-
dent Grant. the most supremacy ridiculous is
the one that he was privy TO the recent con-
spiracy for putting up the price of gold, and
that he profted by it, through the agency OF
his brother-in-law, a retired Methodist minis
ter named CorbIn. If the charge did not
prove such superlative meannesS of spirit, it
would certainly be considered the broadcast
Joke of the season.
did plot with him, and was in the scheme to
m AXE profit. Every body knows that Fisk IS
not Mt cessarily prevented from telling story.
by its untruth. But suppose this to be true.
Suppose that Corbin was in the ring. Sup
pose that he really plotted to "bull" gold
Suppose that he even attempted to take sell
fish advantage OF his relations with Grant
What does all that prove, as effectipg the
President?
Nothing, as every sensible man will at once
say. Mr.. Corbin is his own master, and re-
sponsible tor his own acts. The President is
to be judged, not by what Corbin did, but by
what he did himself.
And what he did himself, when panic and
crash upon the street became imminent, was
to order an opening of the Treasury vaults aud
the sale of four millions in gold. By this act,
the com bination of the bulls was oxen, and
prices at once put down. Does that look as if
he was party to any such scheme as is al
legged?
Besides poor Corbin himself, according to
Fisk and Gould, lost five hundred thousand
dollars from the difference of margin on bids
from which he failed to extricate himself. IN
less he makes this sum good. they threaten to
sue him for it. If Grant and COrbin were in
collision, would not Grant have given his rea-
tive timely notice to "cOme in out of the wet. )"
And does it not seem strange that Cor bin, who
must have known every thing should be bitten
so badly, while those who depended upon him
to guide their movements, not ouly got out
safely, but made ruinous profits at his ex-
pense?

Recent Publications.

On the Edge Of the Storm, is the title Of a
more than ordinarily interesting novel, iust
published by g. P. Putnam & Son, New York
as one of the numbers Of their popular eli
brary of Eur ,pean Literature" It is by the
author of "Mademoiselle Mori,'' charming
story OF modern Rome which appeared half a
dozen years ago, and the pleasant pictures and
vigorous character drawing of which will
be fresh in the memory of many readers.
On the Edge Of the Storm; is a story of the first
breaking out of the French Revolution, the
scene being laid in the old town OF Ibarraye,
near the Pyreneau frontier. 1t depicts in a
very vivid manner some of the peculiar fea
lures OF French provincial life at that period ;
the selfish frvolty of the mobiles; the narrow
ness and bitter intolerance of the priesthood ;
the utter blindness of both to the real charac-
ter of the approaching storm whose Fremont
tory thunders already shook the air; and the
dull fanaticism of hatred which centuries ofin-
tolerable oppression had engendered in the
hearts Of the peasantry, and whose shoulder
ing embers were so soon to burst in flame
that should consume all that came in its way.
Two of the most interesting personages In the
story are brother and a sister belonging to
the despised and outcast race of the Cdgots,
whose origin like that of the gypsies, is lost in
the mists of the past. Madame de Lestrelle,
amiable, gracious and charming. but ignorant
and hopelessly frivolous, is very good type of
the French fine lady OF that time. Her daugh-
ter, the heroine, is drawn in very attractive COL
ors aud the character of the peasant priest
Bergerat, also shows a vigorous hand. The
story has fortunate conclusion. The priuci-
pal personages flee before the rising storm, and
we leave th0m safe over the Spanish frontier,
on their way to q secure and happy home in
America. (Receved by Loring, Short & Har-

tain range-and thence, In the course driven
by the prevailing southwest wind, passed
along to the northeast, bursting with like
overwhelming torrents, over the mountain
ranges within which are the valleys. of the e.
lis, the Swift and the Sandy rivers, and caus-
ing the calamitous overflow of these streams.
Hence, the wild and sad waste IF property and
Life on the Peabody river, which flows from the
east side of Mount Washington through Cor
ham into the Androscoggin. Hence, Israel
river, which has its source on the north side of
the great peaks, rose higher than was ever
known before But the upper Ammonoosac,
which is separated by an intervening range OF
hills from the peaks, was far less disturbed,
and on the Connecticut itself. comparatively
little damage was suffered. We hear of no
such calamitous oyerflows on the Saco, or on
the Merrimack, though both have their origin
on other sides of the White Hills. NOT Is any
thing of the kind reported as occurring east OF
the Kennebec. Should the further develop
ment o. facts confirms these experimental sug-
gestions it will tend to show that this re-
markable phenomenon was local and abnor-
NAL; not part of the general and regular Or
der of things, appertaining to our physical sys-
tenn of the accumulation and outflow of rain
falls.
In fact, this same storm displayed on our ex
IRENE eastern border, another class ofphenom-
ena, quite as unusual and abnormal for Maine,
as the cataclysm, which overwhelmed our
northwestern mountain district. All around
Passamaquoddy Bay, extending on both sides,
from West Quoddy Head to some distance
above Calais and St. Stephens, the special vio-
lence of the storm appears to have been con-
centrated into furious tornado of wind, caus-
ing destruction on land and water, of build
ings and shipping, beyond anything ever be-
fore recorded in the history of the seaboard of
Maine. No one of our towns ever stuff red be-
fore as Eastport appears to have suffered, on
this occasion.
This phenomenon also merits investigation.
if, with no other probable result, that we may.
at least, ascertain its completely exceptional
character, and satisfy ourselves that such de
structive effects are not among the occurrences
to be looked for and reckoned upon, in this
part of the world, but have hardly more con-
nection with our physical geography and our
climate, than an earthquake or a volcano.
Yet such Investigations could not be regard
ed as complete, unless they embraced the re-
lation of these facts, to the astronomical con-
ditions, which existed on that same day. The
courses of the sun and moon are known. II
their positions on or near the 4th of Oc-
tober tended to produce SO great atmospher-
ic disturbances, proper research and refec-
:ion may lead us to what is possible to be
known OF the times and laws of these occur
rences, which, at present, are as obscure, as
they are distressing. B.
