The Chinese are painstaking, industrious
and marvellously capable people. Statesman
ship aud political economy, as we'll as Chris
tianity, bid us welcome suhchelp in subduing
the continent-not violently to thrust them out.
That we, who fled here only two centuries ago,
should refuse the Chinese place, is monstrous.
But that the Irish, who only fifty rthirty
years ago came here and took shelter nader in
stitutions already established, should use the
rights we have shared with them to oppress and
torment the Chinese is shameful inconsistency
another instance of how often the persecuted
are themselves the first to persecute Shame
on the Irishman VINO, after his country's four
centu les of protest and rebellion, borro"s of
Eogland the self-same Infamous ana hate1n,
weapons to use them against the Chinese!
Ii 80 sad and wicked an act could be the subject
of mirth, the W hole civilized world woald see II
as the most ridiculous INCONSISTENCY. But
deeper feeling, that of detestatioa and abhor,
renee, is the mood of every honest man, and
one needs the mastery sarcasm and rebuke OF
O'Connell fitly to describe it.-Wendell Phil

AsTRoNoMIcAL.-T Providence Journal
has the folio wing interesting article upon the
planets of the present month:
Saturn will retain during the month the prs-
eminence of being the most interesting planet
among the brotherhood. Having so recent
ly passed his opposition with the sun, he is
still nearly in his brightest phase, aud ia also
| very fav0rably situated for observation. Hs
rises now about O'clock in the afternoon and
reaches the meridian at IL. At the close Of
the month he will rise not far from O'Clock.
He Is therefore visable throughout the whole
night, and is readily recognized in the eastern
sky as soon as it dark enough for the stars TO
appear, by his steady light aud the absence of
other stars 10 bis immediate vicinity.
Jupiter remains during the moath an even
lug star, aud the most brilliant object among
the myriad stars that stud the sky although he
has passed beyond his best position for obser-
vation. He reaches the meridian about
O'Clock, and sets Just before midnight At the
end of the month he will set about 10 O'Clock
Venus still leads the morning stars, aud Is
fast approaching the sun. She rises now about
hslf-past four, lttle more than an hour be-
fore sunrise. AT the eud Of the mouth she will
not rise until nearly O clock, aud will then be
so near tho SUI as to oe almost ecllpsed in his
rays. The close proximity of Venus aud Ner-
curry have made them objects OF spec al interest
to star-gazers duriog the last week of Septem-
ber
Mercury is morning star until the 24sh, aud
on the nrs5 OF tue month rises and sets At al
most ex ictly the same time with Venus, 5ut is
too near the sun to be seen. He is 10 conianc-
ton with Mars on the 12th,ia superior conjanc-
tion with the san on the 24tb, aud 10 conjuuc-
ton with the moon on the 25sb, but as these
phases are invisible they are not of much prac-
tical importance
Mars is numbsred among the morning stars.
but as he rises about half-pass i've he is still
too near the sun to be seen in the morning
twilight AT the last of the month he rises noe
far from 6 O'Clock, nearly three-quarters OF an
hour before the sun, aud bright eyes may possi-
bly, eatch glimpse of the rudy star.
Uranus canaot be seen IN Octobsr unless it
be with a telescope ia the early morning.
Neptune is at his brightest, for he comes in
to opposition with the sun on the 3lst, out il
requires good telescope to get sight Of this
star, whose meau distance fr1m tue sun Is
more than 2 700 000 900 miles.
The October neon comes into conjunction
with Jupiter on the b, the evening after her
first quarter. She Is in conjuuctiOn with Saturn
oni the Och, twos uays before her full. On the
18th she is near Mercury, Venus aud Mars, but
as this is the day of the new moon, the csles-
tisl quartette will ouly bs visible 90 the eSe OF
the Imagination. The planetary phenomena of
the month are singulArlg monoton0us, bat all
days cannot be field days on Celestial annals,
and the months are swiftly passing that will
carry US to the opposition of Mars, IN 1879, AS
we'll as tue years that will intervene before the
transit of Venus in 1882

To His Ercellency, Wade Hampton, Governor,
Columbia, s. c. =
SIR,-I received on Saturday last an extraor-
dinary official communication addressed 10 me
over your signature, the contents of which L
had read in the newspapers three days before.
L beg to remind your eXcellency that any at
tempted rebake of Massachusetts, by South
Carolina for n0u-ob5ervsnce of constitutional or
statutory obligations is a refine neut of Sarcasm
which renders any other defence OF the former
State unnecessary.
tbs treatment Of the case of Hiram II. Kimp-
ton by the authorities of this Commonwealth
was unlnhueuced by any personal or political
considerations Massachusetts had no quarre !
With South Carolina and no ffiendship for
KImpton, but was bound TO extend to each
their respective rights under the laws. Every
courtesy, official and personal was extended to
the representatives of South Carolina; unusual
care was bestowed upon the investigation aud
consideration of the case was reachec upon
grounds of perfect imDaFtiality, ia acclrdauce
with law and the facts and With convictions of
publ @ duty.
In CON mmunicating the decision to your ex-
cellency my statement that the object of the
reuuisiuon did not appear 10 be for the Durpose
of tr ing Kimpton for the crime charged agains,
him, but for different purpose, was a simple
tact contained in the report of the attorney gen.
ersl "a copy Of which was furnished with my
letter to you and in his opinion ami mine,
clearly established by evidence.
Your excellency's letter requires no argu-
ment in reply. It. IS sufficient to say that it
contains statements and imputstons contra
dlctory of the facts and likely 10 mislead
the public where the facts are unknoHn- LIS
language aud uutinely publication are offeG-
sive and uujdsutilble, and decline to secep,
1t or to permit lt to be placed upon tue flies u

The Meth0ds of Socialism,

Socialism, as movement, does not move by
discussion. Its programme is violence. It's
tone Isl No argument; let US have our way, or
beware! Modern violence consists largely in
voting, aud when this kind is available and
sufficient, the social democracy asks no more.
If it is not available, the proposition is plain
and loud to use weapons aud torch. If, how
ever, voting is not to be controlled, in the long
run, by intelligence, reason, argument, and
discussion, then the civilized world has been
building for century upon faith in certain
doctrines which are about to give way and to
expose society to terrible convulsiou. All
our inherited institutions of civil liberty fa'e
toward the executive, as if from that organ
alone danger could come. The power has nov
been transferred to popular majorities, under
the assumption that they would never abuse it
to enrich themselves at the expense of produc-
ers, as monarchs and aristocrsces have done.
The new task is to devise institutions which
shall protect civil liberty against popular ma
iorties, since 1t appears that this assumption is
not beyond question. That task lies next be-
fora us in the development of the art OF govern
ment and 1t appears that the great civilized
nations will have to execute it before the end
of this century, if they do not intend to give uD
all that has besn won in five thousand years OF
history
