Mr.. BURLINGAME AND HIS EMBASSY,
though received by a majority OF the
English press with a suspicion curiously
combined with ridicule, have been sue
cessful in their mission, and have COM
pleted treaty between England and
China which will prove greatly to the
advantage of both nations. The work
which this American ambassador to China
is doing partakcs somewhat of the mar
velous. lie is at once securing from
China concessions Of liberalism and froO
trade which arc revolutionary in that en-
pire of exclusion, and he has secured for
China what England Aas always hereto
fore refused to grant-reeognition as
one of the nations OF the earth, TO be
dealt with, not as barbarous, but accor-
ding to international law. This is a
complete remuneration of the position by
which England justified the opium war
and similar attacks on China. 1t guar
antees China q position among tho ma
tions of the earth, and opens up to her
glorious future of modern civilization.

In the United States Senate on Tues
day last, n communication was received
from the secretary of the interior, trans
hitting and recommending to favorable
consideration letter from the commi =
sionsr or Indian affairs submitting an
estimate of an appropriation required for
medallions of U. S. Grant, President
elect of the United States, for distriLu-
tion to Indian tribes. The communica-
ton states that 1t is customary, when a
President is elected, to have medailions
of such President made and distributed
to the head men Of such tribes who
have proved deserving Of some special
mark OF favor or recognition, and he
therefore asks that an appropriation of
$5, 900 be made for that purpose.

THE TEXAS CATTLE QUESTION:
Among the lessons that have been
presented to us, says correspondent
TO the Chicago Tribune, writing from
Champaign County, is that of the in
Producing of cattle from the plains of
Texas. These cattle offered to the stock
feeders of our States rich harvest, but
tor the want Of more general diffusion
of certain facts, these expectations have
not beeu realized to any great extent,
and it is question whether the losses
in the aggregate have not swallowed
up the profits of the season. But the
experience it has brought to all interest
ed, will prove great value in tho flu
ture. In this county OF Champaign tho
losses have been three thousand five
hundred and fifty four (3,554) head, val
ued at one hundred and sixty-one thous-
and ard thirty dollars, as reported to
the Board OF Supervisors. Largo num-
bers have not been reported, for this rea-
son, that the parties had no expectation
of receiving damage under the, State law
Of 1867, i'll relation TO the importation
of Texas cattle. We have learned that
these cattle will at certain seasons of
the year, give to our native stock a
disease that, in a large proportion Of
cases, proves fatal, and yet its cause and
how it is conveyed rest on mere hypo-
thesis, and are thus far without RENE
dy. We have learned that this stock
may be brought to our State from the lst
Of November to the first Of April with
out danger Of imparting the disease
The following facts are established:
/. That the disease may be impaired
by cattle direct from points south OF
thirty-six degrees, from April to No
vember l.
2. That to produce the disease native
cattle must be grazed or driven over the
herding grounds of Texas cattle.
3. That the cause of the disease is
not well known, aud that thus far we
have no reliable remedy.
4. That it is desirable that the trade
in Texas cattle should only be checked
during the season when there is danger
of imparting the disease.
In the Circuit Court of Champaign
County, the constitutionalty OF the
law Of 1867 has been put in issue and
sustained. Several suits and indictments
have followed, which will go to Shelby
County for trial, on charge of venue.
1t is estimated that there are now in
this State not less than sixty thousand
head OF so called Texas cattle, worth not
less than three millions of dollars
Large numbers will be added during
February and March. The General AS
sembly will no doubt pass a law regula-
ting the trade--a trade of too much in.

Somebody who assures the public that
he has practically tested the matter, says
that the very best, simplest, and cheapest
waterproof application for boots and
shoes, is pure castor oil. 1t is to be APP
piled to the boot and shoe dry, aud soak
it by the fire till the leather is perfectly
saturated. The soles arc to be treated in
the same way, care being taken 10 have
them well dried before using, in order
that the carpet may not be creased.
Castor oil will keep the leather soft, pli-
able and black, but not glossy, and quite
imperyious to water.

OPPREssioN.-The recent troubles on
the Ogechee river in Georgia, were caus-
ed by the efusal of planters to share the
crops equally among the negroes, pursu-
ant to last yoars's contract. Similar diff
fculties occurred as to the previous
crops. The negroes this time decided
that the crops should not be removed till
they had their just share. General Sax.
ton with two companies of soldiers went
down to tho scene of conflict, arrested
the ring-leaders, and divided the crop.

in tlrHt quarter, II win be recolectod that the
Georgia legislature, some time since, when "
WINS deemed safe to do so, expelled collored
members from their seats. Now sueh expulsion
promises to work the overturning Of their
whole reconstruction, the Georgia Legislators
are very anxious to get out Of It, and wonder
fully willing to abide by decision of the
courts in the premises. This eager humility is
sufficiently amusing, but even more gratifying

INTERNAL REVENUE LAws.-The ways
and means committe arc not likely to
do any thing at the present session of
Congress toward modifying or consoli-
dating the Internal Revenue laws. The
commissioner in his late report took
the ground that the whole subject had
better 60 over to the next winter, so
that it might be seen how the new whis-
ky law works. This view is entertained
by some members OF the committee. If
matters were TO be taken up now il
would take two or three weeks to get
through the committee, and then proba-
bly, three weeks more TO finish it in the
House. These would leave two three
weeks for the consideration in the Sen.
ate, which is far too shert time to per-
feet the measure. The opinion Of many
prominent men in both branches Of Com
gress, therefore, is that the question had
better be left untouched.

AT conference of leading politicians of
Virginia, just held In Richmond, resolutions
were adopted declaring that while the people
of Virginia do not believe that the negroes in
their uneducatcd condition, are as yet fit for
suffrage, yet, in view of the expression of
public opinion in the recent national election,
and In the hope of restoring harmony and
union, they arc willing to accept universal
suffrage coupled with universal amnesty" A
committee of nine was appointed to urge Con-
gress to legislate 80 as to secure these to the
people of the State. 1t is gratifying to know
that the leading politicians of Virginia arc
"wilIing to accept negro suffrage, in view OF
the fact that if they did not accept it they
would have to accept a reduced representation
in Congress.

NORTHERN CAPITAL AND SOUTHERN
lNvEsTMENT.-The rush of capitalists to
the South Immediately after the close of
the war led to such losses as to create
a revulsion. For year or two past
Northern crpital has shrunk from South
eTn investments as earnestly as from
oil wells or copper stock. Meanwhile
property which, in 1865 and 1866, was
held far above its real value, has sunk
far below it. A few business men, how
ever, have been quietly picking mp the
bargains. Senator Sprsgue seems to
have been among the foremost; and
the telegraph brings us news of his ppr-
chase Of a very valuable water power
ut Columbia, s. G. for cotton-fac:ory
tor the incredibly trifling sum of 5000.
Great as this sacrifice must be to the
immediate owners, we nevertheless
reckon it still greater gain to the
State. No two things in the South du.
ring the past year have seemed more
auspicions than the tendency to the
higher cultvatian in the raising of cot
ton, and the disposition to plant the
cotton manufactures beside the cotton
| fields, ".t

General West has written an opinion for
the Auditor of State, taking the ground
that members of the Legislature arc not
entitled to compensation for services rem
dered while that body is not IN session,
and that any act or resolution directing
payment for extra services of either off

prior to their term Of Office is unconsti-

such claims. Only their actual ex.

will couple universal amnesty with i'm

of our fundamental law. OF course the
Republicans of Western Virginia, Mis-

voted down in their respective States or
