NEARLY all intelligent persons
have been prepared any time dur
ing the past year and q half not to
be surprised at q great outbreak in
San Franclsco. The people of that
city, however, have shown far more
self-control than they get credit for.
All good citizens hope that this ad-
mirable spirit will be shown to the
end. The ballot and not violence
is the real remedy for political ills
In q Republic. Had the man whsm
the people elected President been
seated in the White House the
Chinese restriction bill would have
been signed and the Chinese ques.
tlon would now be practically at an
end. All the signs point to the
election OF Democrat in 1850

While the Republican public
men In the East, with Hayes at
their head, are prating about our
violation of treaty obligations with
China, as matter Of fact Ameri-
cans enjoy no privileges in China
to-day. The verdant Yankee who
should leave Boston and start out
for Peklng with the confident ex-
pectation of being allowed to wan.
der through the capital Of the
FIowery Empire would be woiully
mistaken. He would leave repre-
sentatives of the industries of China
in the Hub" he would encounter
them in Washington, San Fran.
cisco and in a hundred other cities,
but he would be in no danger of
running across any stray delegate
from "the land of steady habits and
pumpkin pie'' reddiing wooden
nutmegs in q street of the Celestial
capital. It is doubtful ifthe utmost
hnesse and the most ahject petition.
ing would obtain for him the priv
iIege Of setting his foot in f Psiifissg. eli
And 1t is with -snch a country that
Congress is accused of breaking
faithl Bah j! The thing is too
grossly outrageous even for
travesty.
We hope our people will in time
learn to initiate England. They
should keep their line humanitarian
professions for purposes of public
display and manage their relations
with the world strictly on the self
ish principle. The finer and more
enthusiastic the professions the
greater may be the laxity of per-
formancs without attracting undue
attention. John Bull is overflow.
ing with protestations of good will
to all the world. This has not re-
strained the staunch old beef.eater
from grabbing Gibraltar, Malta,
Cypress, Asia Minor, several islands
In the Indian Ocean, the south
coast of Africa, India, Afghanistan
and score of other coigns of van
tage Of which he knows the use SO
well. The sooner we let the specu.

OF politicians drop into the domain

4 nsssl.es,on with a DIn.renco.

All the superllne ideas of the
pseudo phIlanthropists have had
their origin in England. Such men
q WIlberforce originated with the
snti-slavery agitation. Exeter
Hall has been the great focus of
I'll tho sun.rays Of the Booriaboola
Cha humanity. This element sent
William Lloyd Garrison and others
over to the United States to propa-
rate Its ideas, and our Beechers,
Wendell Phillipses and the rest are
olmply reflections of the English
originals. These men have cared
nothing for the aggraudizement of
the United States. Their whole
attention has been riveted upon
what they have preached up as
great moral and political reforms.
Having disposed of the slavery
question, these WORTHLESS are now
concentrating their transcendental
bympathies on the Cbinaman. The
tenderness they before poured out
lavishly ON the negro they are now
prepared to bestow on the saffron
cclored and almond-eyed stranger
from the orient. From this feeling
has sprung the veto.
It has often occurred to us that
the people Of England must often
enjoy hearty laugh at the infiam-
mable and gullible peculiarities of
Brother Jonathan and his house,
bold. john Bull csrelessly throws
out these spun-glass theories about
humanity with capital II for the
benefit of New England, but he is
very careful in seeing to it that old
England never acts upon them.
Here we have Hayes ringing all
the changes upon the ensrmity of
breaking q treaty with China,
while Eagland would and does
think nothing of breaking treaty
aud breaking the head Of job n
Chinanan into the bargain. We
find England to-day pushing her
ambitious projects in every quar-
ter Of the world, while the United
States, with at least forty.five mill
lions of the most enterprising peo.
pie that ever lived, is content to
take England's hyrocritical hu-
manitarian standards at second
hand, and do nothing. The trick
with England consists in, calling
schemes of conquest and spoIiation
''christianizing" and "civilizing"
the heather, "spreading the gospel
Of Christ" and so on, ad nauseam.

dress: Representatives, in q mo-

acts, whether for veal or woe, are
indelibly inscribed upon the pages
of history in this hall. Party has
been arrayed against party and in.
terest against interest in bitter
struggles, but it is due to truth to
say that on every side there has
been an honest ambition to win
popular esteem by seeking each in
his own Way, according to his best
judgment, the general welfare.
Whether or not the desired end of
the public good has been success.
fully attained, is for time to prove,
but that such has been the aim of
both sides cannot be justly dis
puted. Genuine concord between
all the States and the citizens
thereof is the corner stone of our
national prosperity. What pros
trates or elevates one at the ex-
pense of the other inevitably inures
to the injury of all. Though each
representative has championed
the wishes of his constituency with
earnestness and energy yet, during
the whole period of the existence OF
this House, there has not been
single breach of legislative deco
rum. That noble respect born of
q generous rivalry in q common
good cause, has softened all asperI.

service here has taught me that
hate or vengeace has never raised
any cause to enduring honor,
while, on the contrary, jus.

given the weaker side an easy VIC
tory. With reviving business and
restored confidence may we not
look hopefully to an early dawn
of industry, prosperity and great
er happiness for the country? such
Is my fervent prayer. Ts each and

Bridging the Bloody Chssn,

4 touching scene was witnessed at this
place on last Wednesday willie Judge
Marks was speaking. Referring to the
late war he said: 81 see before me my
gallant friend, Col. Byrd. During the
late unhappy rebellion he thought to
be right;I was on the other; fighting for
what / thought to be right. This calls
to my mind an old man in Virginia WHO
had two boys. The elder fell marching
beneath the Stars and Stripes, the
younger eattlirF for the Lost Cause.
After the war tho old man gathered up
their bones, brought them home and
laid them side by side in one grave.
Above them he erected single shaft.
on one side of which wes inscribed,
Sacred to the memory Of ny eldest
son, who fell filing under the Stars and
Stripes" On the opposite side was in
scribed, "Sacred to the memory of my
youngest son, who fell fighting for the
Lost Cause, Higher up, il the CEN
ter, in bCld characters, was this in
scription: God knows who was right.
High above this was c sncw-white
banner, on the fields OF which was
written With en- Invisible hand, God
knows who was right" That old man
there erected platform long enough,
broad and strong enough for the whole
American people, both North AID South,
TO stand upon. Aud upon this plat
t5rnn to-day, Col. Byrd, advancing
toward him. forgetting the past, allow
me to shake you by the hand as a
brother" Col. Byrd here arose and
advGnced to meet him, and the two
brave soldiers joined hands amid the
deafening applause of the spectators.

raise or borrow in Sierra Nevada and
reaped rich return. Still he had not
enough to fill the mease of his oppor-
tunity. His wife had splendid dia-
mond necklace, for which he had paid
in apuleGt days the sum of So, 900,
and which she, being a retiring little
body not given to display, had never
worn but once. !,

''if you will let me invest your dia>

little woman. "You know never wear

Senator Jones is not man to go

streets, so he offered them to the first
Jew he meet and received $1,000 for
them, which he invested on margin in
her name, and to-day she IS worth

Home Manners.

Manners are protective of character
They protect the nature from lapse aud
degradation. As man leaves off his
good manners the manners which society
has Taught him. lie becomes barbaric.
1t may not be sasy to define the precise
relation which the spirit holds to polite
ness, and The dependence of the one
upon the other; but that the relation ID
close, and the dependence profounded.
caunot be denied by those who haze
watched the influence Of polite customse
upon themselves and others.
What pity that home is made the
place in which We exhibit our rudest
self! What satire it is on our sinceri-
ty that there should be any such phrase
as company manners. Some men treat
every mans wife well but their own;
some women are polite to all men but
their husband. Children are courteous
to visitors and disrespectful to parents
If we must be cross to any one, why
should it not be some one we do not
know, instead of one whom we, love or
ought to love? If you feel like scold-
ing, some morning. friend go over and
