free government and accustom them to The
ways of the American people. They proved
good students and made fine progress Most
OF them have graduated and entered the
service of their government in various
capacities at home and abroad Among the
earlier arrivals here from Japan was a lad
named MIcHENER S. NAGAsAKI, one Of the
brightest of the bevy, who was educated at
the university at Ann Arbor, Mich, and
when he graduated was ordered to report to
the japanese Legation for duty at London.
We are reminded of this occurrence and
the progress Of Japan by the receipt of a
copy of the London and China Telegraph,
which is published in London, and which
contains an account Of the arrival Of the
imperial japanese corvette Seika in British
waters. She Is o war vessel Of 800 tons, was
built from truck to keelson by japanese ar
tisans, is propelled by powerful and very
perfect engine of japanese construction, and
her armament consists Of one fifteen cent?
metre KRuPP gun amidships, with four
Others by the same maker, ranged two on
either side, together with one saluting gun.
Her crew Is purely japanese, and consists
of one captain, four leutenants, one sub
lieutenant, five midsbipmen, two surgeons,
and complement of men, aggregating q
crew of $50 men in all. The ship was
brought from Japan to England without any
foreign aida fact which shows the pro-
gross that the Japanese are making in
the art and science of navigation.
On the arrival of the imperial corvette in
British waters a party was made up Of
celebrities in London 10 visit her, under
the conduct of Mr. NAGAsAKI, of the
Japanese Legation. The trip is represented
as being exceedingly enjoyable, owing to
the perfection of the arrangements by Mr..
NAGAsAKL Several hours were spent on
board band of music and q fine repast
adding to the eujoyments of the hour.
Captain ENoUyE, in command, by his cour-
teous conduct in welcoming his guests, es-
tab!ished the fact that while he is o skillful
navigator, he is an accomplished gentleman

TIE SITUATION IN NORTH CAROLYN

AS near as we can ascertain from reliable
sources, the late election in North Carolina
has given quite a severe shake-up to the
Bourbon organization. There is much more
significance in the returns than Gppean on
the face as they are reported, An outsider,
reading that the Democratic judicial ticket,
the only general state ticket in the field,
was elected without opposition and that
the Bourbons have more than 100 out of the
no members Of the two branches Of the
General assembly, would conclude that the
opposition had made but small showing,
But when the returns for the first, third, and
fourth Congressional districts are examined,
1t is found that in each of them the Demo-
cratic vote is in the minority as against the
Republicans, independents, Greenbackors,
and Nationals When il is remembered

CLERK ADA,fs, of the House Of Representa-
tives, has not been able to satisfy himself, or
anybody else how the Hot Springs Commission
clause was omitted, in his office, from the sun
dry civil appropriation bill. On the authority
Of the chief clerk II Is asserted that the integ-
rity Of Congressman EAISEY and Senator
CoNovER, who inspected the enrolled bill, can.
not possibly be called in question. .-NeT York
Times.
If rumor does not prove trcacherous, the
real offenders in this case will be run into
their holes and captured very soon. We
hope this may be the case. II is about time
that the depredators upon the integrity of
our national legislation should not only be
exposed, but condignly punished. The
enemies of that measure, who had been ex-
erting their utmost to defeat it while pass
ing the usual stages of legislation, found an
irresistible temptation at the last moment
toaccomplsh, through completely and fraud,
what could not be attained In q fair and
open fight, and they yielded to that tcmpta-
ton, and their effort was crowned with fraud
ulent success. This is all there Is of tex
cept to expose the real offender or offenders
and unless We are greatly mistaken at the
present writing, the hounds Of the law are
close on the heels Of the guilty fox.

Of the question had been presented. That,
as no new faets had been adduced and no

this 81, 400 100000 was created In the effort of
shaking off foreign domination. The remain
der Of the debt is due to bad financiering.
italian ministers Of finance have been too
sanguine as to their receipts and too liberal in
their expenditures. 1t has consequently con-
finually happened that the income of the gov
eminent has been less and its expenditures
more, than had been provided for. The fis-
cal year 1877, however, closed with sur
plus OF S3,0O0,OOO. The pressure OF taxation is
very heavy in italy, and the Cabinet, who
were placed in power to abolish some of them,
like the grist tax, have not been able to give
so easy 6. source of revenue. The present

OFFICE OF NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT,


GENERAL REMARKS-This has been an ex-
cessively hot day.
During the past week Cotton has been sick,
and extremely dull and unsatisfactory, with
decline Of 36c on good grades. The sales to-
day were only $50 bales, and for the week 2O5O
bales.
During the week ending TO- day there has been
but little movement In the Flour trade. There
was no call for the low grades, but the high
grades, on account of paucity of supplies, are
a sale to-day for export to Liverpool of 1000
bbls on private terms. The sales, exclusive of
this lot, were only 400 bbls, the market closing
easy at our quotations.
OF Corn Meal there is a fair stock on the mar
ket and prices are somewhat easier
The sales of Corn embraced only 100 sacks at
5o@52c D bushel. the supply being good and
market easy.
Though quiet the Pork market Is very strong.
During the week there has been an advance of
25c % Dbl, Mess being now firm at $40 % U Dbl;
some holders asking $40 50 % Dbl for their prop
erty. The sales were $50 bbls at $40 Is.
The feeling In Dry Salt Meats is very steady,
but the advance of yesterday was not sustained
to-day.
Bacon kicked UP the mischief of an excite
ment yesterday but to-day was as quiet as e.
lamb though prices remain firm.
COTTON-The movements of the market
during the week closing to day have been I'M
satisfactory. Throughout the mark has been
extremely dull, and closed TO- day fiat, with sales
for the day Of $50 bales. and FIR the week 205O
bales. Prices have been hard to maintain. the
feeling showing weakness from day to day, and
the week closing with established decline on
the good grades of &c q ID.

San Francisco paper states, upon the au-
thority of Mr.. Mackay, Of the bonanza firm,
that during the remainder of the year the
California and Consolidated Virginia mines
will yield but 100000 ounces of silver per
month. AS more than half the product Is sill
yer, the total product will probably not ex-
ceed $4,000, 900 per month. The average grade
OF the ores is now about $50 per ton, and the
cost of production about SIG per ton. The net
profit will not exceed Sl,SOO,0O0 per month.
Another San Francisco paper says:
The product Of the Comstock last year was
near $50 000, 900; this year 1t will not exceed
S24,OOO0 00 The total yield Of the Comstock
has been 900 tons and $265,0O0,000. 1t has
been explored more rapidly than any other
mine in the world Within eighteen years as
great depth has been attained as was
reached after centuries in the mines Of the
old world, with the crude implements Of for
mer times. Already the miners are at work
2400 feet below the surface, and everywhere,
to a depth of 1000 feet, the contents are very
well ascertainpd. AS an instance Of the tri-
umph OF science over nature it Is a great
achievement; but IL we consider the enor-
NOUS Ecost in assessments and stock deals,
the wisdom Of so much haste may be ques-
toned. The assessments alone exceed S43,-
O0,OOO-enough money to build a railroad
across the continent. The dividends have
been S115 SOC, 900, showing an apparent profit
OF SO. 100000 But this profit has not accrued
to the multitude who have invested in the
mines and furnished the money for prospect

Several stalks Of cotton containing fresh
blooms were exhibited atthe Cotton Exchange
to-day. Indicating an advanced and healthy
condition Of the crop. The specimens we're
from separate localities, some In the valleys
four 10 five feet in height, and were full OF
squares appearing vigorous and In fine order
In every respect. These specimens encourage
the expectation of full YIELD as well as early
maturity OF the cotton crop for the present
season. The first cotton bloom having made
its advent here some three weeks earlier than
last year, the next event Of interest is the
coming Ia of the first open boil, and then the
receipt of the first bale.
