1t would seem that Mr.. Pope Hennessy

vices received from Hong Kong, and
which are published in American papers
landed at Queenstown, a considerable 80.
clal disturbance has occurred at Hong
Kong between the new Governor, Mr.
Pope Henessy, and the English commune
ty in consequence of the Governor having
insisted upon treating the Chinese popula-
ton OF that colony with mere humanity
than was shown by his predecessors, and
bis abrogation of severe laws and customs
z affecting the Chinese there. There has
been much excitement throughout the colo
ny, aud formal appeals to the Home Go.
vernment against the conduct of the
Governor are threatened by the British
. colonists. .1
It is evident that so netting serious had
occurred, or the kilograms would not sug.
gest the line of defence adopted by the
Governor.
It appears, therefore, that other colonies
besides those in the West Indies can show
much excitement under the rule of
Mr.. Hennessy. who has evidently con.
trived, by the same course of conduct that
he exhibited in Barbados, to raise a very
serious class controversy 10 Hong Kong

He has lived among his works, aad has

is regarded as a rather peculiar one.

it was in this way that he was often able
to collect AM gauge the direction of
public opinion. His successor is unknown
in society, and it is not probable that he
will now mingle freely ia the political

and energy everywhere, but we do not
like the news, or the reported murder of q
Judge, Mr.. Bell, by natives A blunder
in the field, a failure in tile supply Of am
munition. British defeat, and we might
want 10000 troops in South Africa. Ii
will be necessary, we fear, to speak very
roughly at Lisbon, and carry out an Arms
Importation Law such as has hardly been
known, except in Ireland. SIR Bartle FIR re,
however, fortunately understands this
work. -
President Hayes has done q very weak
thing. He wished, in accordance with
some etiquette about the territorial distri-
button OF Office, or FIR some other reason
to give the London Legation to a poli.i-
clan from Pennsylvania. aud Mr.. Pierrep1nt
thereupon resigned. Instead, however,
of selecting his own man, anI fecomm 'nd-
ing him to the Senate, he asked the Re.
publican Senators to signify their choic',
and he would nominate him. The RApub-
lican Senators thereupon selected Mr..
Cameron the old leader Of the party in
Pennsylvania, An able man, with sounl
views in politics, but STEPPED to the lips
in all the tricks of the party wire pullers.
The President is, therefore, in a fix. If
he rejects Mr.. Cameron, be alftOnts men
whom he desired to conciliate ana if he
accepts bin, he will be understood to
have given way to the professional po!iti-
clans and to have abandoned Civil Service
reform. He hesitGtes at present, and may
possibly no. yield, but the pressure on him
will be- very great. 1t seems clear that if
he breaks with the professionals the party
must be reconstructed, and the Democrats
may win a serious victory before that can
be done. The Working-men party de-
taches a heavy vote from the Republicans,
who, NOR cover, seem paralysed by the
Reluctance of their " regular leaders, to
move while deprived of patronage, as they
virtually are, by Mr.. Hayes's order to of.
ice-btarerS not to interfere in elections.

From the SPECTATOR

n M
The Times seems a little alarmed at
some reports from India of disturbances
expected beyond the frontier. Its cor
respondent from SimIa telegraphs that the
Khan OF Khelat is seriously annoyed by
the occupation of Quettah, and that the
Ameer of Cabool proposes to him the
: plpnder of India. The Turkestan Gazette,
q, St. Petersburg paper apparently con-
Firms this story, as far as the Ameer is
concerned, and says Stere All has collect
ed $4,000 men. In a later telegram from
S'mla however, forwarded through Reu-
ter. and apparently official, the story is
fatty denied. and our relations with Khe-
lat aud Cabool said to be excellent. AS
we have said elsewhere, we believe the
a armist rumour to be ba ed on an Old
story, the panic of the Ameer Of Cabool
as to our intention 10 sending a Resident
to Kheldt, and even that panic is eXagger-
ated. Shere Ali is q bold man, and a reck.
less one, but even he is not going to hui
a few thousand matchlock-men and cuiras-
siers upon one OF the strongest military
Empires in the world. They would never
GIT out OF the Passes. Note that Lord
B~eacomfe!d's support Of the Turks does
not induce the Mussulmans of Central
Asia to threaten Russia, but Britain.
-
The American Congress is holding an
October Session, to vote supplies, and
Mr.. Hayes, in his Message says that be
shall postpone all other business of inter-
est til the regular meeting. 1t is p-oba-
be, HOW ever, that the Session will be an
Important one. Many Republicans are at
war viii the President, and it is possible
that the old question Of his legal title may
be taken up again, and supplies again
refused as q protest against it.. To carry
any strong resolve of this kind, however,
the Democ ats ned the support of the
IAfatiorists, aud the idea is that the Gov
eminent will compromise by consentiDg to
make silver lega! tender as fully US gold,
and by age ing to pay in both metals all
dividends no: specially contracted in gold
currency. The Committee Of beth Hou-
ses appointed to consider the Silver ques.
ton has reported to the Senate in favour
of this course, 1t is a curious evidence of
the SOFT of unity now discoverable 10 the
worlds affairs that President Hayes de-
cision on this subject is of vital importance
to the Government OF lndla. Ii he decides
for the doubla standard, the rupee will in
a few months again be quoted nearly at
par or at all events, at Is. lid. iii
The news from South Africa is not nice.
though it will help on Federation. Kreli,
Chief of the Galekas, in the Trpnskei. is
offended about something or other, and has
sanctioned two attacks on, Europeans. In
