China and I4sDaIa.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-The mail steam
ship China, which arrived tonight from China
and Japan, brings advises from Hong Kone
August Both, Shanghai September lst, anc
Yokohoma September oh. The Canton river
has broken through its embankment and flooded
miles Of country, destroying vast crops. Severa
cases Of piracy on the route between Hong kone
and Canton arc reported. In ono instance the
plumber amounted to 100000. The Chinese
government contemplates partial postal ser
vice to be organized and managed by foreigners
10 the customs department.. Postage stamps il
is said have already been ordered from Eng.

sidized for carrying the mails along the coast.
The Cholera continues to deVastate many towns
on the coast and 10 the interior. A Chinese
lawyer named Clay was recestly admitted to
the bar in London alter obtaining much repute
and influence at home. The Viceroy consulted
him and the government entrusted all legal
questions to his consideration. tie has been
offered the secretaryship of the London legation
but declined it. The u. s. ship Ranger is now
at Hong Kong on her way to Japan. China is
making extensive preparations for representa-.
ton in tho Paris Exposition. Great astonish-
ment is excited by successful raid OF small
rebel band upon Kagoshima on the I'd of Sept.
After the battles at Nobeoka last month every.
body believed tho revolt had collapsed. Saigo.
however, with three or four hundred followers,
broke through the Imperial army lines and
made rapid dash southwark. By ineXcusable
negligence, the result of over confidence, Kago.
shma was left entirely undefended. The To-.
surgents easily obtained possession of the gov
eminent buildings and drove out the few officials
stationed there. This event is characterized as
disaster, but is acknowledged to be great
disgrace, and it will entail renewed and large
expenditures. The latest advices from the
seat of war represent the rebel force as insignif.
cant, and the whole affair mere fash of dying
desperation, but the government is exasperated
at Saigo's persistence in merely wasting human
life when all his chances have long been over,
and it is feared that if captured now the in.

into effect. Twenty. FIVE hundred dollars have al

Taxpayers Pay the Piper.

The newspaper that employs its col
anans to discuss per diem and miIage to
the exclusion Of real questions OF public
concern is nottn e worthy Of confidence
than the local politician who makes
these and kindred matters his stock in
trade; but to expose hUmbuggery and
lay bare miserable hypoeritical rretense
is one Of the peculiar duties Of 3hc press
In our last issue we endeavored to show
how that our people are IN posed upon in
these minor affairs by knavish dema-
gogues whose information on public
matters rarely extends beyond the dol
lars and cents dispensed to the office
holders. What we venturea to guess
then has become fact since. The
house Of delegates passed a resolution
to adjourn eight days, without pay the
senate passed, b. an uncecoried vote,
a substitute to adjourn from Saturday to
THURSDAY. Sundaynot counted, this was
but a three days adjournment, and con-
sequently gave every man bis pay.
Then there was 10 quorum present till
after the holidays, and the few on hand
met each day and adjourned. The cost
ofthis dodge IS about twelve thousand
dollars. The little job was 50 nicely
put Up that there was not a senator to
ask FOR the yeas and NAYS.
