1.-THE Gentleman from China"

1.-THE Gentleman from China"
The Chinese question still continues an mex
haustible theme for the American Eastern papers.
The most novel and strikingly inventive article is
one in the New York Independent, under the
caption, " The Gentleman from Asia" The idea
of calling the Chinese " halfcivilized -" semi
barbarous, - '' ignorant Mongolians," is treated
by the writer with unmitigated contempt. We
should consider them, {" be says" among the
most desirable of all emigrants. One thing is
certain we had better say as little as possible
about their want of civilization. Comparisons on
that subject will be likely to turn out very odious
to ourselves" "On the score of hereditary
culture and civilization, how can we compare
ourselves with the yellow strangers? They belong
to the oldest civilization on earth. Two thousand
years before our ancestors had ceased to tattoo
their skins and to dine on acorus, or on one
another, their ancestors were living in civility
and refinement. They have innumerable genera
tions of civilized blood in their veins, while many
of us who call them semi-barbarians are still in
that state of dubious development SO wittily de-
scribed by Lowell, that stage in which a
savage nature has disguised itself in the externals
of civilization like a Maori deacon, who has
only to strip, and he becomes once more a tattooed
pagan, with his mouth watering for a spare rib
of his pastor"
The writer, whose style and illustrations are
decidedly original, is undoubtedly correct SO far as
some of the Chinese are concerned. The educated
classes in China are in many respects peers o,
Americans or Europeans in the Same stations OF
life. But of the moral or social condition of the
lower or laboring classes, little can be said in
their favor, save that they are industrious and
make good workmen.

q We by no means endorse the sentiments
uttered in Benefits DUN, of September 9th,
when it advises g the laboring classes to combine
together, and not trade with any one who adver-
tises in the autocrat journal when it makes it's
appearance, and not deal with any one who is
supplied from the wholesale houses which adver-
tise in that sheet
IF it is criminal for our political opponents to
conspire to injure our business, it is equally
criminal for our friends to conspire to iriure them.
A conspiracy as the inittatOry step in revolution.
Encouraging one class of conspirators will only
tend to create counter conspiracies, for the weapon
has n two-edged blade, and is equally damaging in
the hands of either party. The late war in
America was the offspring of conspiracies-frst
to free the slaves. and next to punish those who
sought to free them. Conspiracies to injure indi-
viduals are criminally wrong. and therefore should
not be encouraged.
But it may be asked-is there no remedy?
Must a man be impoverished through a conspiracy
of his political enemies, and no redress be found?
The remedy is in the courts. If the courts and
juries fail, then it rests with the people to decide
whether they win tolerate conspirators, or forci-
bIy-by revolution, if necessary-put them down,
and maintain private security and civil order.
What has been witnessed here thus far is
merely the first step an ciUil disorder. The second
but one recourse remains in order to preserve in
dividual security. We trust it will never be
found necessary to resort to it in this country.

The Penalty for Destroying
Forests.


Spain, Italy and portions of France are now,
said Horace Greeley in a recent agricultural adj
dress, suffering from the improvidence that de-
voured their forests, leaving the future to take
care of itself. Ipresume the great empires ofan-
tiquity suffered from the same folly, though to a
much greater extent. The remains OF now extinct
races who formerly peopled and titled the central
valleys of this continent, and especially the Terri
tory of Arizona, probably bear witness to a similar
recklessnoss which is paralleled by our fathers
and our own determination of the magnificent
forests of white pine, which, barely a century
ago, covered so large a portion of our Northern
States. Vermont sold white pine abundantly to
England, through Canada, within my day she
is now supplying her own wants from Canada at
a cost not less than five times the price she sold
for and she will be paying still higher rates
before the close of this century. l entreat our
farmers not only to preserve every tree, good,
bad. or Indifferent, that may happen to be grow
ing upon their lands, but, out on the limited dis
tricts wherein the primitive forests must still be
cut away in order that land may be obtained for
cultivation, to plant and raise at least two trees for
every one they may be impelled to cut down.
This appeal is as applicable to the people of these
Islands as to that of the American Republic. In
d few years every vestige of a tree will have dis
appeared from our mountain ridges, and drought
and sterility will mark the face of the Islands.

What Is the Law?

The editor of the Gazette, who appears to be
in full sympathy with the conspiracy on Maui,
quotes a portion of the law, as given in the Penal
Code, but evidently did not stop to read it
through. We quote so much of it as applies to
the recent affair, and leave the reader to make his
own comments:
IA conspiracy is a malicious or fraudulent
combination or mutual undertaking or concerning
together of two or more, to commit any otfense or
instigate any one thereto, or charge any one there
with ; or to do what plainly and directly tends to
excite or occasion ofense, or tchdt IS obviously and
directly orongfaHy injurious TO another. For in
"TO PREVENT ANOTHER BY INDIRECT or
SINISTER MEANS, FROM EXERCISING HIS
TRADE, or TO IMPOVERISH HIM.
2-"Any person knowingly acceedtmg TO and
jtining in a conspiracy, after the same is formed, IS
a party thereto.
Conspiracy in the first degree 3
sSHALL BE PUNISHED BY IMPRISONMENT
AT HARD LABOR NOT MORE THAN E
YEARS, or by fine not exceeding one thousand dol
lars, in the discretion of the court.
Conspiracy, not appearing to be in the hrst
degree, is in the second, and SHALL BE PUNISHED
BY IMPRISONMENT AT HARD LABOR NOT
EXCEEDING TWO YEARS, or by fine not exceeding
two hundred dollars, in the discretion of the court."

An English paper gives the following statistics
regarding the relative strength of the two powers
at war, which appear to be more authentic than
anything we have seen. The French army as re-
organized in 1868, numbers 800 900 men, divided
equally into what is termed the active army. and
the reserve. In addition to this, there is the
National Guard, numbering $50, 900 men, which
was to cooperate in the defence of the frontier,
the coast, and fortresses. The whole military
force Of the country, therefore, is $780, 900 men.
This number will, of course, be considerably
augmented should a great war actually occur.
The active army is divided among the different
branches of the service as follows:

Besides these there were eight screw steamers,
iron-clad, with 6S guns, and % non-iron-clad,
with l44 guns, building.
1t is probable, therefore, that the whole mill
tary and naval force of France soon after the
opening of the war will reach 1,45O, 900 men.
The population of the country in 1866 was 49,
O67 ,O64. The whole war-Iike force therefore is
about one to twenty-five of population.
The Commander-in-Chie of the Prussian army
and the navy is the King. The chief of the staff
is General de Moltke. The regular army is about
$40, 900 but including the land-wehr, the entire
force capable of being brought out is about
l 200, 900. The regular army is divided into
eleven corps or divisions, with the following com
manderS.
