There exists but little doubt In the minds
Of persons who are we'll posted on the sub
ject that the gunboats recently seized by
Marshal Barlow were intended to carry dcs-
truction and devastation into the territory
of the Republic Of Peru. Though Spain has
not carried on any serious active operations
against that country since tho bombardment
OF Cnlao, 1t Is supposed, with good reason,
that she Intends to resume those operations
as soon as she has fleet Of light draft gun.
boats, which could enter the shallow hnr'
boTs of Peru, and penetrate the Intricate and
shallow channels OF the South American
archlpelagoes. As for the assertion that
these vessels were Intended to be used as
patrol boats around the Island OF Cuba, II Ii
notorious that at the time when the contract
was made for their building, about three
months ago, the Spaniards rldiculcd the
idea of the instruction ever reaching any
threatening proportions, and prophecied III
speedy aud easy extinction. II is regarded
as ridiculous, therefore, to assert that thC
armada of 80 gunboats was Intended tC
crush what was then weak island insur
rection.
Orders were on Wednesday received by
Judge Pierrcpont from Bancroft Davis, tht
| Assistant Secretary Of State, informing hin
that the Secretary Of the Navy, at the re
quest of the Department OF State, had ordered

TIE Richmond Dispatch, discussing the
Chinese question, makes this point as between
the importation of Africans or Aslatics;
"Let any man propose the importation of
Africans to work our cotton and tobacco
fields and he will be put down by the frowns
of a united world. Yet there Is certainly no
difference In principle between that PROPOSE
tIon and the one we are discussing. 1t Is
more feasible. The negroes are, we think,
the best labOrers to be found amongst the
nome Caucasian races. They can be brought
hither sooner and more economically. Why
not not bring them The popular senti-
ment of Christcndom will not allpw II to be
done. Yet there Is not one obJectlV" "hlch
can be urged against the importation oil Al,
ricons which cannot be urged with equal
truth aud force against the importation of
Chinese"
