SIR RUTHERFORD ALCoCK. who has a
minute and comprehensive knowledge OF
his subject, is deeply impressed with the
power and permanent character of the
Chinese empire. Adopting the largest
estimate of the population, he justly
holds that community of 100000, 900
men under a single government and with
the same language and institutions CON
tains in itself a sufficient guarantee of
Nitolity. 1t is his deliberate opinion
Lbat Russia is more liable than China to
permanent disruption.

STATISTICS of pork packing at the six
beading points during the past week,
show further diminution in the def
cheney in the seasons business as com
pared with last year. The decrease now
stands about 100000, or some so, 900 less
than 1T was at the close of the previous
week. Cincinnati and indianapolis show
an increase of about 10000 each for the
season, while the remaining cities show
falling off of from $4,000 to 155,OOO-the

prehend, within the proper sphere Of the duty
of Congress to single out this branch Of reve-
nue. and apply it capriciously to single and
separate object. The land money is small
item of not more than two or three millions a
year, but whether much or little, its proper
destination is the general fund, thence to be
drawn for general purposes.
The latest proposal is to distribute the land
money among the States, in proportion to
the illiteracy of their respective inhabitants.
This, to limited extent, would be making the
Federal Government an almoner for the dis
tribution of educational charity to the poor in
knowledge, function which does not square
with any correct idea Of the governmental
duty Of the Federal Government. If the
Congress of the United States will invent and
develop effectual plans to lessen the direct
and indirect burdens of the Federal Govern
ment, the poorest of the States will soon be
in a condition to take care of their own
schools, and give TO oil their children chance
to obtain fair common school education.
In we'll ordered system Of representative
government, the maxim that :" the end justi-
ies the means" should not prevail No ap-
parent present benefit should be allowed to
sanction peryersion of principle There is,
most Of all, danger in the misuse of legisla-
tive authority for an object eminently good
in itself

BRISTOW 70 THE REAR.

A special telegram from Washington to the
Times indicates q rumor "upon excellent au.
thority that Bristow is about to leave the
Cabinet The correspondent remarks: sit
seems incredible, but it is from such high au
thority that send it.
Mr.. Bristow went into the Cabinet with the
understanding that he was to use all his en-
ergy, talent and force of will to protect the
Treasury of the United States from losses by
fraud and to discover and punish those who
are or who have been engaged in depzeda-
tons upon the revenue.
In compliance with this agreement he has
pursued the culprits with such zeal, courage
and sagacity, as to win general applause,
even to the extent of being made one Of the
men named as Republican candidate for the
Presidency. As bold, honest and efficient
reformer, he stands conspicuous in the ranks
of the party whose officials are in very many
Instances but little like him. His party being
efficted nigh unto death with leper-like
corruption which poisoned it's blood, stiffened
its joints, and made it loathsome with its
ulcers even in its own eyes. The case needed
wise and vigorous surgery, and therefore was
Dir. Bristow called in. But i. seems from
the rumor, if serious, that the physicians
recipes have been too heroic, and that
his surgery has cut too deeply. The hired
nurses of the "sick man )" are wailing all over
the house, and his servants, cook, butler,
steward and all, are in an agony Of fear lest
the patient should die under such severe
treatment. The doctor knows just what the
suffering party needs. He must cauterize,
amputate and employ vigorous drastic agen-
cies. He must cut off its golden slim ulants,
and put it on low diet Of honesty and
obedience.
This does not suit the party dependents, so
the lesser clamor to their superiors, and these
to the President, that "Bristow's prosecu-
tons will kill the Republican party" We
think they say truly. Some far-gone diseases
become SO blended in the system that the
retention Of the malady becomes the only con-
dition upon which the life of the sufferer can
last even for a day. Such is the sad disease
of the Radical party. Corruption has become
an essential and inseparable part Of it. To
cure is to kill, and therefore it is that the re-
lentless reformer must retire from the Cabinet,
and give place, as rumor further has it, to the
mild-mannered, complacent professor OF draw
poker, Schenck.
