FROM SuANauAE 10 New York by
SUEz.-The steamship Magdala left
Shanghae for New York, via the Suez
Canal, on the 10th Of August, and her
arrival was reported at New York last
Monday. The time made, about 10
days, il very long for a steamer, but
she made several stoppages, was six
tsen days crossing the Red Sea In the
face Of u storm, and made no attempt
ut speed. Her performance Is n gain
on the long circuito,is route via the
Cape Of Good Hope or Cape Horn, but
reduced even to the quickest, 1t would
still open no competition with the
direct route from China to San Fran
cisco aud across the Continent by rail.
The New York Herald suSgests that n
ship canal through the American
Isthmus would enable steamers to pass
between New York and Shanghae in
IS days, while the shortest time by the
Suez Canal would be about IS days.
The Pacific Railroad now enables the
transportation Of goods from China to
New York in 4s days, but the Herald
thinks the railroad charges make the
expense too great. This objection to
the direct route across the continent
does not prevent the steady growth OF
overland freightins from China, and
the expense will be less, year by year,
until 1t reaches a minimum. The saw

considerable offset to the freight charge

The case of Goodman, charged with

came up in the Police Court this morn

Mercantile Library law, in repeating
tho penalty for the violation Of the

anybody to sell tickets or maintain a
lottery with impunity. He said that
he had conferred with several District
Judges and they agreed with him In
this opinion, ~ did also several lead

tense Of selling tickets was proven he
would hold the defendant guilty Of a
violation ofthe Constitution, but would
not Impose a penalty, as the Lcgisla'

In the Courts.

The history Of the claim in the diff
ferent Courts would take up moro
space than you have at your disposal.
1t il one OF the most extraordinary
narratives of fraud. forgery and cor
ruption that ever disgraced n lawsuit.
But when it is remembered that the
prize commended for is worth ten mil
lion dollars, and that 4 small army OF
lobbyists have taken shares in the lot
terry, the means resorted to by them to
clutch the spoil fail to excite surprise.
When three separate decisions of the
Supreme Court had pronounced the
title Of Gomez invalid and fraudulent,
McGarrahan had resource to other
shifts. Procuring a writ Of mandamlls,
he tried to compel the Land Office to
give him a patent, thus seeking to ig-
more the adverse legal decisions. The
writ was, Of course, dissolved by the
Supreme Court, which, for the fourth
time passed the case in review and
commented in severe terms Oh its mer-
Its. Thus foiled, he invoked the aid of
his Congressional confrercs, and n bill
was introduced into the Lower House
confirming and validating the Gomez
title. 1t passed the Assembly and
went to the Senate, where it was re-
ferred to 4 Committee composed of
Senators Williams and Ferry, who, In
remarkably strong language, recon-
mended its rejection. In the ordinary
course. Commissioners Wilson would
have heard the closing arguments III
the case last August, and then have
proceeded to issue q patent to one of
the claimants--to which one there can
be no two opinions. Grants letter to
Mr.. Cox, however, gave orlers that
tho case was to remain In allegiance.
and so the matter rests for the present.

THE euAKRR INDIAN POLICY.

The honest and benign administra-
ton of Indian affairs by the Quakers.
iuaugurated and fostered by our Gov
eminent. apparently works rs well rs
its most sanguine friends and support
ers could wish. The red men Of the
Plains have been more p~eaceab!e, and
shown more real evidence Of a desire
for improvement during the past year
than for years before seen under the
best plans tried. Only year ortwo
ago these savages seemed hopeleSsiy
turbulent, and no wonder the majority
Of the American people were exasper-
perated into the opinion that the only
~sfYectual mode Of making them peace
able was to Systematically slaughter
them of as fast as possible-extermi-
nate them altogether.
But General Grants much ridicnled
Quaker policy was put into effect; the
broad brimmed Quakers went among
them and a very different mode Of
dealing with the "plumed warriors Of
the desert" was adopted from what
they had known before. They were
dealt with squarely and honestly and
the scale Of Justice held firmly and
evenly between them and the Govern
ment which they were taught to res
poet. The red man has apparently
buried the hatclet and smokes the
pipe Of peace with exceeding JUNCTION
and tranquility. Red Cloud, Spotted
Tail and all those other chieftains, so
very prominent and desperately a Y
age a year or two ago, have totally
subsidized from public life, and became
mere aboriginal gentlemen In citizens
perhaps Quaker-dress. May they
continue In this felicitous condition for
a long time to come. The Omaha
Herald, alluding to this subject, says:
1--WE cannot too often or too cor
daily acknowledge the obligations
which the people OF this part OF the
West should feel to the President Of
the United States for the courage
which led him to adopt. and for the
firmness which has enabled him to
maintain, the policy Of Justice towards
the Indian. So far a. Reserve Indians
are concerned. those who are In the
hands of the Quakers, they have never
been so happy since they LEFT the chase
~ they are now. SO far rs the Sioux
are concerned, the fruit Of that policy
Is seen In the peace which reigns along
all our borders. That it may never
again be broken, and that the hal
cyon days" may return and remain
with us which so long saw the white
and red men friends and brothers.

A Row In Church.
The Rev. DR.. Cox-Hallelujah Cox
AS he Is termed by irrellgious Dem
ocrats In remembrance Of certain
boshy verses lie wrote during the last
Presidential campaign which were
half hymn, half political platform, and
every line Of which ended with a diff
ferent hallalujah-is the defendant In
n singular libel snit brought against
him by DIR. Elijah White, a physician
who had formerly IN extensive prac-
tice here. DR.. White vas a member
of Cox's church and supposed to be In
such good moral feather, that his name
In the congregation was a synonym
for all the Christian virtues. When
the election Of Grant left the clerical
politician time to resume the care Of
souls, he found that his popularity had
somewhat suffered, and what was
worse, that the Devil taking all ungen-
tlemauly advantage OF his absence had
tempted 80 hard that some Of the flock
had fallen from grace. Rnmor also
coupled the name of DIR. White with
certain immoral practices with his
female patient, which Cox thought were
calculated to bring his church into
contempt and ridiculc. So for the pIr-
pose Of rcgaining the waning conf
lence of his fold le made q formal
charge to the deacons against White
and demanded that lie should be ex-
PEELED from the church. The case was
accordingly tried by the authorities
and resulted in the conviction and ex-
pulsion of the offending member.
White then appealed to the conference,
made counter charges against Cox.

like Franc-tircurs In support of their
pastor, and he came came out victo-
rlous In every engagement. Asa last
resource White subsidized the Mxeprm
and got 1t to print his explanation in
weekly lnstalments. This did not
mend matters much, so he then pro-
cured legal advice and commenced suit
for 100000 against his alleged SLAM
derer. The case Is now on trial In the
Twelfth District Court, and ls likely
to furnish abundant material for gossip
before It Is concluded.

Female Typos.

In few things has the progress of
liberal sentiment been more marked
than In the change that has taken
place in public opinion about woman's
sphere of labor. 1t is but 4 few months
ago that the female compositors ofSan
Francisco were regarded rs interlopers
by the Typographical Union and they
were almost trcpted with contempt by
Its enthusiastically with disrcs-
pact. They were not allowed to gain
n footIlold In the large printing estab.
lishments and tho whole power OF the
Union was chivalrously used to de-
priye honest intelligent girls of the
means Of earning n respectable liyeii-
hood. But we have changed all that
now. | looked into the rooms OF the
Women's~ Cooperative Union the other
day and saw tell young women at the
case, and the lady manager said they
had always rs much work as they
could do. The Pioneer office, owned
By MIS-. Pitts Stevens, also gives en-
ployment to several female typos and
the can has seven OF them In its cstab-
llsllment. The 'rapldity and precision
with which they set type Is quite re-
markable considering their limited
experience. Apart from opening up
new and we'll adapted field for female
labor the presence Of the gentler sex
in the printing Office must have an X
allied effect OH the morals and beha-
vior of that by 10 means too moral
class, through whose medium the
world receives its daily chronicle of
history. JACK lloRNKR.
