hT LIE DEATH OF AH-LU-TE-THE CHINESE
SgcgzssIoN.-:A cable despatch from
Shanghai China, announces the death of
Ah-1u- to, widow of the late Emperor
nhg-che, who died of smallpox few
tnonthB'ago It will be remembered that
il was y ERROR eously stated shortly after the
demise. OF tho, youthful Emperor that
EAh-lu-te had committed suicide, and ru-
mors' were rife that it was just possible
that as she was about to become a
mother, her career had been in reality
cut short. designedly by the political
managers of the IMPERIAL household to
prevent the accession of n possible pos
thumous heir of Tung-chc. Her death
even now may revive these rumors, al-
though IL new Emperor had already been
proclaimed and formally invested with
his diSnities. At the death Of Tung-che
the Chinese political situation was COM
plicnted by the respective pretensions to
the throne in behalf Of the son of Prince
Tung, aged six years, and the infnnt son
of Prince kung; and ns tho case all
around began to look rather mixod n
couple Of clever ladies, known as the
'Empcresses Dowager," took the matter
in hand and settled it. One Of these
ladies is the widow of the predecessor
and fnther of Tungche, the late Emperor
I1lcu-f uuS, the OLncT was COnCODlnc OF
that monarch and mother of Tung-che
1t may, perhaps, be deemed unnecessary
to say'thnt the names of these distin-
guished ladies are respectively, Ts'ze-An-
Twan- -yu-k nnS-K'in ing and Ts'ze-Hi-
Twa-yuK'nng-L But history must be
written, and history without names
would be the history of nobody. These
eminent females, perceiving that it would
be impolitic to wait for Ah-lu-te's baby,
which after all might be n girl, and look
ing with disfnvor upon the prctcnsions
Of the young hopefuls, Tung and Yung,
selected for The position T 'sai-Ticn, son
of the sister of Ts'ze-E Hi TWAIN X 'ang-I
and Prince Chun, generally known rs the
Seventh Prince" T'sai-Ticn is between
three and four years of age, and he has
assembled the dragon throne" of China
as the son of Hien-Fung-not rs the son
of his own father, the customs of China
requiring that each Emperor shall, by n
pious fraud, if necessary, be regarded
and treated as the son of some one of his
predecessors, SO as to preserve the impe-
rial line in al ostensibly unbroken sue
cession. The death Of Ah-lu-tc may
silence forever any claims which might
arise on her behalf, but the respective
partisnns of the Princes Tung and Kung
are, no doubt, still in state of ambi-
tious disIuiet, and may yet give the
Dowager.Empresses and their monarch
IN the nursery some trouble.

Senor Castelar, must have had vision
of Fernando Po when he resigned his
professorship in the University of
Madrid, upon the publication of the
educational DEGREES Establishing the OBJ
noxious text books of the reign of Isa-
bella. CASTELAR, was more sensible than
Prof: Piner, who, for petitioning against
the DEGREES, has been shipped to stupid
and minsmatic penal colony. Piner
should have resigned, and, like CASTELAR,,
have betnken himself to foreign lands
until some new revolution will give him
chance to live in his own country.
The liberal world pities poor Piner, for
Fernando Po is most eXecrable place.
It is nm island twenty-five miles from the
West coast of Africa, forty-four miles

discovered by the Portuguese in 147l,
ceded to Spain in 177S, seized by the
British in 1927, who were driven away
by the deadly fevcrs in 1884, after which
Spain occupied it and made it penal
colony, where death is certain. The
island is swarming with monkeys and
rats, with whose gambols Professor
Piner must find his amusement. But
the Bourbons will continue their play
for crowns in Spain.

stances as should conduce to an unusu-
ally favorable result. It will come up
as matter upon which even Republicans
are divided, with the best and most in
telligent wing OF that party on the right
side at last.
+ The claims to be met by the taxes will
be thoroughly canvassed meanwhile, the
spirit of the people will be aroused, and
they will demand that their money shall
not be taken from them on such mag
nifioent scale. Our State Government
should be simple, inexpensive affair.
We have no need Of dukes and princes.
Instead of near s2.OoO,00O, $500, 900
is ample for oil honest and desirable pur-
poses. We trust, sincerely, that tho
question of paying this tax may be tidcd
over till next session, when we have no
doubt it can be curtailed and pruned
made lighter on the people, more in nc
cordanco with their means, and better
confined in its disbursement to the pro-
per and necessary channels.

LYNcHNG MINISTER FOR PREACHING
HELL.-A man died, recently, at Sutter
Creek, who had never adhered to any
particular belief in any specified system
OF religion, but who bore reputation of
good citizen. A minister was requested
to conduct the funeral service, and the
good man, during his discourse, said in
effect that the deceased had not tho least
chance Of salvation, but had made o bee
line to the hot place. Those who heard
him were indignant, and that evening q
party Of men went to the minister's
house. dragged him out of bed, put a
rope around his neck, declaring they
would hang him. He begged hard for
life. and finally retracted the aspersions
ne had cast upon tho deceased, and pro-
missed to leave the place at once. He
was then released, and next day he
packed up his effects and left.

There was sad catastrophe near Au-
gust. Ga, on Saturday. by which Mr..
Fred A. Maxwell and Miss Corrinne
Dunwoody lost their lives. It seems
that the couple, with some of their young
friends, were boating on Burch's Mill
Pond, when tho boat containing these
two upset, and they were left houndering
in the water. Mr.. Maxwell was a good
swimmer an6 made desperate and al
most successful effort to save his fair
companion, but the task was too great
for his strength, and just before reaching
the shore they sank together to rise no
more. Miss Dunwoody was q young lady
OF great beauty, and was universally be-
loved. She was only sixteen years old
and had not yet left school, and is the
last child of widowed mother. Mr..
Fred Maxwell was only about twenty
three years Of age, and has been planting
at his place near Augusta. He was a
young man of high character and great
promise.

In referring to the elections in Con-
necticut, the Philadelphia Times con-
denses great deal of timely truth in
the following comment:
estates are regarded at Washington MS
the mere playthings of power. In the
South they are food for bayonets the
North they are but fields for Office
holders to swarm over and command
obedience to the personal ambition of
their chief, and Connecticut had to bow
to the yoke or be broken on the wheel.
After the recoil of New Hampshire, it
was decided that Connecticut would
swell the reaction, and the party was at
once loaded with the third-term mania
Blaine, Hawley and others, who saw
safety only in honesty, were hectored and
bullied by the Administration organs
until they had to come to the front and
apologize for the President. The result
Is defeat-disnstrous overwhelming de-
feat, and defeat in which even the de-
pendents Of power have avenged them
selves by dragging Hawley down with
them. There is line upon line again on
the madness of the nbject subserviency
of great party to an ambition that is as
insane as it is selfish, but no heed will
be given even to this pointed admonition.
Ingersoll's triumph is one Of two things
1t is the death-knell Of the third-term
pretenaions, or it is the death-knell of

The Tax Bill.
The Winnsboro Ne,os, of Saturday last,

Strange to say, several Radical jour
nails chime in with Conservative COM
plants of the excessiveness and odium
of the tax levy in the supply bill. They
back up the suggestion made to the Co.
vernon that he should veto it. The day
after it was passed we pointed out how
heavily the weight of money exaction
bore upon the slender resources of the
people, and how inexcusably high the
figures of taxation had been carried.
We said what seems now to be more
generally conceded that ''our reform is
in vain, and all our talk about it but
little better than pretense, as long as
these heavy impositions weigh upon the
property, clog the industry, curb the
energies and depress the spirits of the
people" On the I'd instant, under the
headinglo Of "The Odious 1'az Bill" we
expressed the desire ''that. the Co
vernon would put another of his
stinging vetoes 10 it, We do not
stop to- inquire the reasons, or
to question the motives, but We hasten
to express our satisfaction OF receiving

RIoTous. Yesterday afternoon, party
of intoxicated soldiers, while misbehav-
ing on the street, wore warned by Police
man Henry Davis to desist, when they
became more turbulent, and even as
saulted him. The policeman, while on
his way to the garrison guard house, to
have the soldiers taken up by their own
guard, was suddenly knocked down by
one Of them, when three or four more
joined in the attack. After striking and
kicking Davis for some time, q oolored
man came to the latter's assistance with
an axe helve, and dealt,a fey .EeGeofive
blows. just Mt this time, the garrison
guard appeared on the scene, CORNER
Main and Green streets, when the SOL
diers fed, hotly pursued by Policeman
Davis, who Immediately recovered from
his beating. The chase was lively, and
was joined in by two other policemen
and crowd of men and boys. & One Of
the soldiers was captured, and taken to
the calaboose, to mediate upon the evil
effects Of interfering with the pfabers Of
the law in the proper discharge OF their
