Samb0 Versus John Chinaman-The Cali
fOrnia Republicans.

The homely old adage that ''Chickens
come home to roost," when applied to those
who meet with punishment or embarrass-
ment as the consequence Of their own acts,
is verified in the case of the niger wor-
shiping Radicals of California. They have
gone with their party for negro suffrage, for
elevating the Southern negroes over the
white people and for the constitutional amend
ment putting all colors and races of men on
an equality, and now they are alarmed at
the consequences Of their ultra radicalism
They are likely to have as large dose of
the Chinese as they have forced the South
arp whites 10 swallow Of tie negro They
are sick at stomach in advance and in con-
temptation of the future. The Republican
State Convention of California in its platform
of resolutions emphatically 'sopposcs Chinese
sufraee in any form" Like the radicals of
other States of the North they magnani-
mously give the suffrage to the ignorant and
brutal necro-to the lowest race of MAN.
lind-because they have scarcely any ne
groes among them; but it is quite another
thing when the Chinese are in question. How
illogical and inconsistent are these republic
cans Every one acquainted with history,
as well as physiology, knows that the Chi
nese are far superior and more intellectual
race than the negroes. They were a civil
lied people when the nations of Europe were
barbarians, and in many things we may yet
learn from them. In some arts they are
vet superior; in agriculture they have attain
ed high point of excellence, and in the So
cial or domestic virtues they will compare
with the most civilized people, and they have
maintained an organized government and
system Of society from the earliest times to
the present day, while the negroes have new
es emerged from Barbarism, except where
some degree Of civilization has been forced
upon them by the white man. We tell these
California republicans they must be logical
in this matter They cannot escape from
the consequences of their own acts and the
acts off their party. Ii the suffrage is not
to be held exclusively by the white race of
European stock, and if the negroes are to be
put on an equality with our own intellectual
race the Chinese cannot be excluded. If we
are to try the experiment Of mongrel re-
publican empire that race which stands next
to the Caucasian cannot be placed beneath
the negro, the lowest of ALL Many of our
radicals may yet live to be seriously troubled
by the the political and social monster they
have raised " Y Herald.

GRoss INJUsTIoE.--It is reported that the
editor OF an Austrian newspaper has been
fined five Aorins, equivalent to $1'75, for
proclaiming Andrew Johnson to be ''the most
corrupt scoundrel in America" In the name
of all that is good, bad, and Indifferent. what

ing9 Franz Joseph, spurred on in the
path of liberal reform by his Prime Minister
Won Beust has inaugurated so many startling
changes in the administration of hisgovernment
since the fatal day of KGniggratz, that Austria
is popularly supposed to have become one of
the freest nations on the Continent. And
now comes the melancholy news that this en-
terprising journalist has been mulcted in the
enormous sum of $1'75 for calling Andrew
johnson 'the most corrupt scoundrel in
America The whole fabric of Austrian
liberty proves to be as rickety as one of the
traditional castles of Spain and vanishes into
the very thinnest sort of air Just as its goodly
proportions have elected the admiration and
approvalof the whole world. The Austrian edi-
tor, happilyfor himself, when attempting to do
up Andrew Johnson in single sentence of less
than ten words, drew it very mild; but it
must be said that the Judge who pronounced
sentence upon him was not so dainty. The
punishment inflicted was so extravagant in
proportion to the enormity of the offense,
that there can be no doubt that the Court in
tended to make an example of the ibeller.

THE TENNESSEE ELECTION.

OS Thursday next the election IN Ten
nessee will take place, a Governor, State
Superintendent of Public Instruction, and
members of the Legislature to be selected.
The contest in this State resembles that in
Virginia, both tickets being headed by avowed
Republicans. The Republican Convention
which assembled in Nashville some months
ago to nominate State ticket, terminated in
an old-fashioned Southern row before even a
temporary organization had been effected.
Colonel William B. Stokes, the present men,
ber of Congress from the Third district, sub
Bequently received the nomination for Cover
nor of one faction, composed mainly of the
colored delegates; while the remainder set up
De Witt @. Senter, reconstructed Rebel,
who had been president of the
State Senate when Parson Brownlow
vacated the Governors chair to enter the
National Senate, and thereupon became the
acting Governor during the remainder of the
term for which Brownlow had been elected
Between these two candidates, each claiming
TO be the regular Republican nominee, bit
ter contest has been waged. They have
travelled the length and breadth of the State
in company, addressing the same audiences
in alienation, and abusing each other in
terms which are characteristic of the only
State in the Union which could bring to the
surface simultaneously two such masters of
the art of abuse as Andrew Johnson and Par.
son Brownlow.
The bulk of the colored population appears
to side with Stokes but Senter has led off {
very large proportion of the original oppo
nents of secession, including both Andrew
and the Parson, and rallies to his support th
entire conservative element. At the Presi
Dental election last November Grant receives
56,757 votes, and Seymour 26, 6,311-a majorit
of &c, O,446 for the former. Senter will poll tn
full Seymour vote, and thousands of thos
who voted for Grant will support him. But
most important of all, the Supreme Court
the State has decided that, as acting Governor
he has the power to remove the COMMISSION
ers OF registration, and to fill their places b
persons of his own selection, whe
ia his Judgment there is sufficient caus
fg 20 doing. Qf this power bs has mad

very liberal use, and the new registrars are
accused of openly defying the Franchise law
by placing on the lists the names of thousands
who are disfranchised. In this way the voting
population has probably been sufficiently in
creased to give Senter a decided majority.
His supporters earnestly advocate the repeal
of the disfranchising laws at present in force;
but. while the more reasonable people
throughout the country unquestionably ysympa-
thize with them in this object, the manner in
which they are attempting to ignore the laws
while yet in force is, to say the least, one of
questionable expedienoy.
The candidate for Superintendent of In
struction on the Stokes ticket is J. L. Nc
Dowell, his opponent being Albert j. Upton.
The standing of the last Legislature was as

THE RIVAL FACTIONS IN HLR-
GINA

THE old Virginia politicians were always
lannon's for their love of distractions, and
their ability to cavil on the ninth part of a
hair and the new men brought into political
nrominence by the modern course of events
Seem to have inherited this peculiarly
of their predecessors. Under the old
svstem, Virginia was the most steadfast of the
Democratic States The majority was not
always large, but it was reliable Negro suf-
frage, however, brought into politics new
element that would have secured a steady
succession Of Republican victories if the Re-
nublican leaders had possessed sufficient wis
dom, patriotism, and good feeling to avoid
divisions, and to present solid front to
their willy adversaries The registered
voters comprised 144, ,645 white and 1925
black men. If but one Republican ticket had
been placed in the field, nearly every colored
voter would have supported it, and, acting in
conjunction with the white Republicans, they
would have won an easy triumph The re-
suit of the late election strengthens
this view Wells received lOl,2
votes. against 119, ,494 thrown for Walker,
and while all the supporters of the former
were thorough Republicans, the latter also
gained considerable number of adherents
from the same party. The mass of the Wal
kerites, however, we're evidently men of Rebel
antecedents. There was not "a red marau-
der in the land" who did not sustain the
Walker ticket They had two important
objects to accomplish-the encouragement of
the Republican dissensions. and the exclusion
of the proposed clause disfranchising Rebels
from the new State Constitution. They have
succeeded in both, and they no doubt hope to
follow up this success by the speedy establish
ment of an avowed anti-Republican party.
At this juncture, the Chairman of the Wells
Committee, who undoubtedly represents the
mass of the Republicans, has requested the
Chairman of the Walker Committee to ignore
the prevailing dissensions, and to unite in an
effort to promote a cordial union of all the
Republicans of the State. His overtures
were expressed in respectful language, and
they appear to have been prompted by a
proper spirit. The Chairman of the Walker
Committee claims, in reply, that ''the Grant
Walker party is the National Republican
party of Virginia, representing the policy OF
the President and of Congress, and as suct
has no division to heal" This answer indi
Gates that the new Governor and his friends
intend to render further service to their Rebe
allies in return for their support at the late
election. 1t is folly to claim that the ole
Virginia Democracy are either dead ol
thoroughly converted. They are under cover
somewhere, and as they cannot have taker
shelter behind the entertainments of the
Wells faction, the presumption is that they
are making masked battery of the Wake
administration. When the passions engen
dered by the late campaign have more
thoroughly subsided, new overtures may mee
with better success. If they do not, Repub
licanism in Virginia will be slow to recover
from the wounds inflicted by its professet
friends
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-08-03

In consequence of the peculiar character
of the struggle between the Gubernatorial
candidates, the result of the Legislative con-
test is also involved in doubt. Later ad-
vices represent that the Senter leaders fear
that the Democrats will serve them an old
party trick, and attempt to secure con-
troll of the new Legislature, Independently
of the Senter movement But in the
event of the Senter faction securing
majority of the members, it is understood
that Andrew Johnson, who so recently rejoiced
at his emancipation from the tyranny of Con-
gress and the cares of Office, will present his
claims to the seat in the Senate now held by
Fowler, the anti-impeacher. The fact that he
resides in Eastern Tennessee, from which
section comes also the Senatorial Parson will
tend to damage his prospects in no small
measure, while the opposition of the old-line
Wings places his chances in still greater
jeopardy.

Or CoURsE.-The farce of State election
was gone through with in Kentucky yester-
day, and an overwhelming Democratic victory
was the result In 1861, the only thing that
prevented Kentucky from going Democratic,
like the rest of the slave-holding States was
the early arrival on her soil of large force OF
loyal soldiers. If she had been permitted to
follow her Democratic proclivities at that
time, she would not have been so intensely
Democratic as she is at present.

Mrs. ELIZABETH CADY STANTON has at last
solved the grand and perplexing problem OF
woman's work and woman's wages. Let
woman attire herself in the same rig as man,
discarding all such monstrosities IN dress as
the Bloomer costume, and going the whole
figure in shirt and pantaloons, and she Will
command the same class of work and the
same scale of wages as those of the other SEX
This happy solution of the womans rights
question is certainly fortunate. There Is but
one drawback to it, and that arises IN regard
to the highly important question as to now
the population of the world is to be kept atlts
present aggregate, without even considering
the question of a material increase in num-
bers. If women are to be completely meta
morphosed, casting off all their old habits
along with their old Clothes who will attend
to the nurture and care of the boys and girls
that are to take the places of the present
generation of men? And who, we beg leave
to inquire of Elizabeth, will attend 10 the
tritiing matter of giving birth to another
generation, when the present infantlle supply
is exhausted? When the skilled services OF
every woman in the land become worth four
dollars or more day, by reason OF her DON
ming shirt and pair of trousers, the luxury
of childish prattle will be placed beyond the
reach of men of moderate means.

THE CHINESE TRADE.


FROM an "Abstract of Trade and Customs Revenue
Statistics from 1864 to 1868, published by the Impe-
rial Maritime Customs Of China, we take the follow
ing extracts, which present comparison of the Chi
nese trade with the United States and Great Britain
The tae is valued at s14s United States con and the
picu is equal to 1873 pounds avoirdupois:-
The grand total of the customs revenue OF China
for the year 1868 COT taes. The two great
articles Of export from the Kingdom silk and tea,
and those of import opium, of which quantity
to the value of 26127s69 taels imported in 1865
cotton goods, of which quantity to the value of
22,373O56 taels was imported in 1868; woQlen goods
of which quantity to the value of 6,511,51 taels
imported in 1868. The grand total of imports in
1865 was valued at Il, l2l, ,2l3 taes.
The total value Of the exports for 1868 was 6g,'4
733 taels The total value Of reeXports was 42l
taels. What portion of this trade is carried on in
American vessels is not ascertainabe from the
tables published by the British Government. TO
increase our trade, the merchants OF this country
should have the active cooperation of the COnsuls
residing in China, and their reports, instead OF
lying1 in the pigeon-holes OF the Bureau of Com
mercia Relations for six months after their receipt
should be published, so as to aid in the under
taking.
The bureau is not to be blamed for this, and in
many matters where red tape drags its slow length
along the law is the offending thing. Let the law
be amended so that the merchants get the con-
sular reports before the ink becomes faded upon
them, and this first step in the way of information
may lead to the spread Of our commerce and the
credit of the country.

We listen calmly TO the impious laughter
Of those who gloat because the Right Is
bowed
We listen calmly, for we know hereafter
Sunshine will gid the cloud
A little cloud---it passes from the present;
A little loss-it brings a larger gain
The laws of God were never evanescont,
Though oft in bitter pain
His children bent and far off followers doubt
ed,
And placcmen yielded to the love Of pelf,
While scoffers, as they did at Calvary, shouted,
Now save thysclf
Well, shout but when you hear the awful
thunder,
And see the veil rent and the darkness
come,
Then will your guilty cheeks grow pale with
wonder,
Then will your lips be dumb
BY all the fields with mnrtyr-blood made CORY,
BY all the stars that light our stormy sky,
Fair Freedom shall arise to grander glory,
And tyranny shall die.
