Theirs seems to be the coming man
IN France, where among the country
people there exists .'Thierist Le-
gend." The Russian and Italian Min
listers have been instructed to pay court
to him, and Prince Hohenlohe's visits
are now more frequent than ever. The
old statesman's health Is good, barring
an occasional neuralgic attack. He
says, 1t will be sacrifice to. him to ac-
cept the leadership OF the opposition.
as there are literary works hewishes to
finish. II he were reelected to the
Presidency he would lay hiassn out to
acclimatize constitutional govern
ment." He Is altogether for refusing to
vote supplies II the Marshal does not
resign; believes that there will be no
violence, and thinks Mac Mahon will en-
deavor to avoid responsibility for the
recent coup de- etat. Gambetta supports
him because Gambetta is not yet forty
years old, and therefore Ineligible.

Cut ThrOats In san francisco.
L5an Francisco Post
A revivalof the anti Chinese agitation
is threatened by the increased activity
which Is peing displayed In the importa-
ton OF Mongolians, and already much
angry discussion is going on among the
working classes, while 1t Is said that
many anti-coolie societies are holding
secret meetings for the purpose of devils
ing measures to suppress the growing
evil In manner that endangers the
peace Of the community. The subject
has received more pointed attention
through the arrival on Saturday by the
Git! OF Peking- from Hong Kong OF a
making a, total OF nearly four thousand
Of the race landed at the port within a
month.
One Oh the recent eonsignments was
composed OF Tartars, a branch OF the
Mongo!ian race which has not been
largely imported heretofore. They
have prominent cheek bones and
darker complexion than Chinese of
Ayrian blood, who make up nearly the
whole Of the Mongolian population of
this city. In China they have the
reputation OF being the worst OF crimi-
nails, and furnish most Of the pirate
crews that infest the Chinese waters.
Thus far the introduction to this, coast
of this dangerous class Of Asiatics, so
far as any information can be gained,
has not been above few hundred, but
now that the Tartar element has begun
to flow in, the inference IS that a
new region of China is being used
to- keep I'D Monaghan Immigration.
The Tartars comprise tho Turaman
Inhabitants Of Turkistan and the ada
cent regions. In central Asia the word
Turk is used as synonymous with Tar
sar, merely to indicate Mongolians, and
was applied to early invaders of China
from the upper Ameor. region. They
were a warlke and savage race, and
often descended upon the peaceable
Chinese and plunder.ed their villages.
Their predatory cha facteristics came to
be SO closely associe ted with their name
as to lead to its eve ntual application to
numerous other 70 bber hordes. Sham
amism was the original faith of the
Mcngols.. This vas succeeded by Bud
dhism, which W as abandoned for Lam
aism about the end Of the sixteenth CEN
tury. Sunni Mohammedanism is now
professed by the western Tartars gen.
orally, both in Asia and Europe.

ST. LoUIs, June 23.r-The circulation OF

came within one vote Of indicting the
Mayor OF the city, Henry OverstoIz, oe-
casions great sensation. That body

ting the city and the county. The cleo.
tion was first supposed to have sustain
cd the negative proposition, against
separation. Afterwards wholesale baL
lot stuffing was uncovered, and enough
votes thrown out by the oanvassers to
make the scheme Of separation carried;
and that, with the new charter, have
since gone into operation. The Grand
Jury first indicted nearly twenty Of the
opponents Of the scheme Of separation,
for stuffing ballot boxes, and various
violations OF the election law. The
body recently commenced investigation
OF the means resorted to by those who
favored the scheme.
1t was discovered that large sums OF
money were raised among merchants
and property holders interested In the
scheme and the charter, and that this
this money was used in making vigor-
GUS canvass OF the measure. Mayor
Overstolz was before the jury several
times, and also Col. George Knapp,
senior proprietor OF Cne St. Louis ke-
publican, who was treasurer OF the fund
Daniel G.. Taylor, and numerous lead
ing citizens who contributed to the fund.
They admitted everything, and claimed
to have been justified. Some of the
jurors insisted that the use of the money,
as was testified to by these Witnesses,
was plain violation OF the election
law, which Is very stringent In this state.
