WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-An especial interest was
manifested today in the testimony of Col Asa Bro
Gardner, who came to Washington as voluntary
witness to answer the statement IN BIutord WILSON'S
testimony respecting the Black Friday scandal lie
met subpoena on his way, and when on the stand
got himself into pretty bad snar for professor OF
law and an experienced dge-adyocate. His teStl-
,nonv by no means helped the cases oGGcns. Porter
and Babsock. whom he undertook to defend. In an
examination two hours and half in length, heman-
tested throughout desire to shield the former pr
,ote secrctarics of the President and to give such
q version and coloring to his connection with them
M wonll cxoncrate them from the accusations
made in Major Wilson's testimony. lie Denied th3'
he WAS trustee for Gen. BabcOck, but admitted lha'
he acted rs trustee in real estate TRANSACTIONS III
New-York between Gen. Butterheld late Imteo
States Sub-Treasmer, and Gen. Babcock. He car
ried property, holding the legal title IN ms own
name, of which Gen. Babcock was the equitable
owner The main obj rct of ADMINISTRATION seemed
TO be 10 ascertain whether Gen. Babeock or Gen.
Porter ever paid anything for the real estate, the
value of which about $4,000. as shown by
Gardeners accounts. He said he had had 40 money
person. but from his testimony II would appear thAt
the money came from Gen. Butteideld
The majority of the Committee seemed DESTROYS to
prove that Gen. Babcock and Gen. Porter pdli 10
money consideration for this property, and that 1t
was a GIFT to them, mgeniously covered up, by Gen.
Butteriield, who used Col. Gardner an innocent
agent for that purpose. The gossip about the con-
mittee-room was that the Democrats hereafter, by
the testimony of Cen Fitzpatrick and others, intend
TO show that the story that Gen. Butterheid gave
Gen Babcock some $40, 900 for the appointment to
the position of SubTreasuIcr NJ Ncw-1orN hal us
peculiar foundation in th. transaction. Col Gard
per so far connected tAi5 transaction with Mr. VII
sons story as to admit that Fahne,tock was con-
nected with the matter, and furnished the money
by which one Of the mortgages on the property was
finally Cancelled.
Now that the investigation II regard to the Biac"
Friday scandal has been begnn, the Democrats viii
be likely to 90 to the bottom Of it, and It is wills

The Bible in China.

Not long ago a phenomenon in China
gave lively hope of the conversion Of
the Chinese heather to Christianity.
There was a sudden and remarkable
demand, in certain places, for the Bible;
and a large edition in the native tongue
"a consequently struck off to supply
the anxious heather. These heather
greedily sought for the free copies Of
the Bible, gratefully accepted them, and
rejoicingly marched off with them. The
missionaries were delighted as they dis
tributed the volumes among the crowds
in waiting, and looked patiently for as
many converts as there were Bible seek
ers. But though there continued to be
IN active demand among the idolators
for the Bibles hat we're g%ratuitously dis
%tributed, no converts turned up. At last
the missionaries determined to under
take an investigation of this strange
state of things. 1t was a melancholy
revelation for them, when they discov-
cred that the quickwitted heather were
not giving themselves up to the pious
study of their free Bibles, but were using
them in the making and repairing OF
the thick paper sole of the Chinese shoe.
The supply Of free Biblical material to
the almond-eyed heather of the Celes-
tial Empire was quickly cut off by the
disappointed missionaries, but in the
mean time, many Of them had provided
themselves with comfortable shoes at
the expense of the Bible Society.-N N.

The Returning Tide of Emigra-
ton.

II the United States take from us the
largest number of emigrants, says the
London Times, they also give back to
us the most considerable immigration.
In the last three years nearly a quarter
of a million of persons have come back
to this country from the States.
The commercial crisis and depression
of business in the United States may
have had much to do with this observ-
ed result, which it would be rather rash
to consider as other than a temporary
modification of the main tendencies of
population changes; but it justifies.the
observation that the number of emil
grants who have gone to the United
States for permanent settlement has
diminished recently, or "their place
has been taken by emigrants of an older
date or natiye-born Americans coming
to this country" 1t is significant
enough that last year the inward cur
rent almost precisely equaled the out
ward in volume. More than $1,000 per-
sons left u shores for the United
States, and more than SO, 1000 returned
from the United States to the British
Isles. Signor Boselli, Deputy in
the Italian Parliament, has
been making speech
to his constituents at Savonna, on the
occasion of a festival of industry. These
are some of his words: "The condi-
ton of the laborer in the Republic of
Switzerland, rs in the constitutional
monarchy of Holland, is good. In the
Republic of the United States, as in the
constitutional monarchy of England,
the condition of the laboreris not good.
The America described by De Tocque-
vile no longer exists. In America the
excess of moral culture withdraws the
citizen from manual labor. All wish to
be shopkeepers or clerks, and, rather
than engage in manual labor, prefer to
leave the places where they were born.
Republican institutions do not suffice to
render the laborers content. The
American workman is worse off than
the English. The hours of labor are
excessive, and there is absence of laws
to regulate the matter. The worst of
aristocracies, that of wealth without
traditions, armed with a monopoly of
Government, presses upon the poorer
classes, while great corporations create
a new sort of feudalism, which we hope
will not come at last to corrupt the in
situations and Cypress the laborers of
other countries"
