The Sea Island Cotton Crep.

An experienced planter on Edisto Island,
South Carolina, writes IL letter to the
Charleston. News, in which he says that
there is marked improvement IN the labor
ing population of the Sea Islands. Since
the removal of the Freedman's Bureau the
freedman finds he has to rely upon his own
exertions for support, and he works more
cheerfully, more contentedly and altogeth
er more efficient. The systemkOf labor is
by contraction tWo days work out Of
every week for land, in place of wages and
rations. Some for three days for land and
rations in place of wages, and some for VS.
ges for the whole time, at the rate of hun
dred dollars per year. and rations equal to
fifty dollars more. The latter contract is
in every respect the best both for employ
er and employee but the freedmen much
prefer the first. as it gives them more time
at their own disposal, but much less money
in their pockets in the end. The fine
growing weather, with it's hot and dry days,
and heavy dews at night. which we have
had for the past month, has caused the
crops of cotton to recover from the effects
of the cold spring, and is pushing them
rapidly forward to state of fruitfulness
and promise. Blooms are to be seen every
where over the fields, and the crops are in
a good and we'll worked condition. About
a month ago there was great hue and cry
raised about the appearance of the dread
ed caterpillar already in our fields. It has
passed away.

VISIBLE PICTURES OF INVISIBLE THINGS
In police court we generally see too much
of the rough realities of life-a too broad
reliance upon facts But in Judge Dowling's
court there is not enough of this, as we have
just seen in the ridiculous investigation before
him of the spiritual photograph humbug, and
in his most ridiculous decision, discharging
Mumler with grand advertisement and full
freedom to inveigle all the countrymen he can
into his gallery. Justice in police courts has
very peremptory prerogative to protect the
people against rogues, and it has this in its
favor, that it need not always stand upon the
nice and embarrassing formalities of the law.
Upon the complaint of the Mayor that Num-
Ter was getting money on false pretences, and
upon the showing by experts how the pictures
could be made, Bowling should have decided
the case, unless the accused could afirma-
lively show that his pictures were made In
some other way. Common sense and reality
are not to be departed from in such tribunals,
or every bedlamite can give his own crazy
reasons for misconduct, and there is no safety

The Custom, House.

Affairs at the Custom House have almost
reached the eliminating point; and within
the present week, probably, the guillotine and
scavcnger's broom will be at work looping off
official heads and clearing out the official
fungi that has accumulated during the past
few years. In the past ten days number OF
appointments and removals have been made,
but these were merely such appointments as
were very necessary to be made to enable the
department to perform its functions efficiently.
Collector Grinnell has been for two days at
Washington and will probably return to-day,
and his return will be signalized by the per-
manent organization Of the staff. The most
disastrous havoc, it is expected, will accrue to
the brood of harp;es who hold sinecure posi-
tions, drawing large salaries for nominal, and,
in some instances, purely imaginary services,
and among this latter class are many Bohe-
milan and other pretended editorial writers
and magazine scribblers. Retrenchment will
be the watchword of the new regime, and to
this beneficent end. in addition to the abolish
ment of individual Offices and the reduction of
the clerical force, some of the subdivisions or
departments will be consolidated with existing
bureaus. There will be the usual rejoicngs
and discontinue at the prospective changes,
but those who rejoice, being the greater part
of the community, will largely outnumber the
weepers, who are to be known by the hapless
appellation of the ''outs"

DISCIPLINE WANTED IN THE FIRE DEpART-
MENr.-It appears that in the reorganization
of our Fire Department the commissioners did
not purge out all the ruffianism that contami-
mated the old system. Half dozen men in
one Of the companies seem to have made up
their minds that they are subject to no au-
thority and will do as they please, regardless
of all regulation. If there is to be any order
or discipline in the department the commission
crs will find IL necessary to take hold of this
matter very sharply.

China and Modern Progress.

From our Washington news it appears that
J. Ross Browne, our present Minister at Pekn,
is of opinion that the Chinese are not in love
with modern progress and that he has trans
mitted to his government dispatches accord
ingly. 1t is only few days since Sir Ruther-
ford Alcock notified the British government
that the sentiments of the Chinese people and
government were not the sentiments repre-
sented by Mr.. Burlingame and his colleagues.
Mr.. Ross Browne and Sir Rutherford Alcock
thus both agree in saying that the Chinese are
opposed to modern progress. As proof Of
this we are told that jealousy of foreigners is
even more general and more intense than of
old, and that Christian missionaries and native
converts to Christianity are more in peril than
ever In the province of Scchuen, where there
was prosperous mission station, several
Catholic missionaries and some hundreds of
converts have just been massacrcd.
Attempts have been made in England, and
attempts will be made here, to deny the truth
iulness Of those reports. For ourselves we
have no doubt that they are true. That Mr..
Buringame very correctly represents party
in China we have no doubt. This, in fact, is
proved by the high social standing of the men
who accompany him. Mr.. Burlingame's party,
however, is the advance party-the party of
progress. Honorable and influential these
men unqucstionably are; but IL would
be strange II they represented faithfully and
fully the four hundred millions OF China.
In speakinu and writinu ma well as thinking
