The conductor of the train which was
lately wrecked on the Old Colony rail
road in Massachusetts, with deplorable
loss of life, has been adjudged guilty of
manslaughter, and will no doubt suffer
the penalty of his criminal carelessness.
His case should serve us an admonition
to railroad men that they can never by
any possibility be too careful in the
management of their trains.

The President replied as follows:
Mr.. MINISTER AND Mr.. NT-NISIsTER: Ten
years Of my predecessors in office received here
the three ENJOYS who constituted the first diplomatic
States OF America. Their company was welcomed as
auspciOus not only OF better understanding between
crease of commercial relations and facilities between
their people. Those anucipatOns proved to be well
founded.
Il gives me pleasure, therefore, to again welcome
ENJOYS from China especially as you inform me
that they come with the intention and desire to esaD
lish permanent legation at this capital upon roofing
with those OF other nations cannot doubt that the
presence OF such legation WIN tend 10 increase anu
cement the friendly international relations now exist
ing and viii be the means OF removing Whatever ul-
culues and Of solving whatever questions may arise
between the two nations.
1t s an additional qualification to md that for
the discharge of those delicate and responsible duties
the selection OF the Emperor has fallen upon enyoys
who are so well and iavOrably known here through
their previous intercourse with our countrymeD.
Cordially reciprOcaing the friendly sentiments and
good wishes have expressed on the part OF the E
EoNN
wishes for his Maiestys health and happiness, aud for
the continued welbeOg and prosperity OF the Empire
over which he presdes.
At the conclusion of this reply the President
shook hands with the Ministers, and Mr.. Evarts
presented the members of the Cabinet to them and
the other members of the legation who then with
drew to the East Room, where they remained short
time numerous spectators both ladies and gentle
men, being present. They then returned to their
residence, in company with Mr. EYarts ana Mr'
Seward.
The Chinese Ambassador has informally advised
Mr.. Evarts of his intention to remain at Washing
ton at least SIX months During that time 1t is pro-
posed to review existing treaties between the two
countries, so as TO place ali questions Of possible
controversy on a sound aud safe basis.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Mr. Spear, who resigned
the position of Commissioner of Patents a few days
ago. says that the Office is labOrious one as it COM
bines two different heads of business in themselves
incompatible-one of executive character aud the
other of judicial. The compensation is snadequate
for the wear and tear involved. Mr.
Spear says: "It is notorious that any
patent attorney of good capacity and diligence
finds his business more valuable than the salary OF
the Commissioner of Patents. The temptation is,
as it has been for years with the Commissioner
after year or two of service in the office, to go out
into the patent business which l shall do when
leave the Office. The relations between
myself and Secretary Schurz have been, and are.
entirely friendly. There is truth whatever in
those reports as to any request or mtmatOn either
from him OF the President that my resignation was
desired by either of them. The sole cause of my
