An Opinion from Actual Observation.

The late Bayard Taylor, in his work on
India, China and Japan received the i'm
pressions of the Chinese which we here quote
from him from his own personal observations
and information while in China. sit is my
deliberate opinion that the Chinese are,
morally, the most debased people on the face
of the earth. Forms of vice, which in other
countries are barely named, are IN China so
common as to excite no comment among the
natives. They constitute the surface level,
and below them are deeps and deeps OF de-
praVity so shocking and horrible that their
character cannot even be limited. There are
some dark shadows in human nature which
we naturally shrink from penetrating, and
made no attempt to collect information of
this kind; but there was enough in the things
which could not avoid seeing and hearing,
which are brought almost daily to the notice
of every foreign resident, to inspire me with
a powerful aversion OF the Chinese race.
Their touch is pollution, and, harsh as the
opinion may seem, Justice to our own race de-
mands that they should not be allowed to
settle on our soil. Science may have lost
something but mankind has gained by the
exclusive policy which has governed China

SOUTHERN DEBTS

The debt of Tennessee is proposed to be
reduced by its bondholders forty per cent,
which, according to the table below, would
make it only 81, 100000, or possibly ten
dollars a head of the population. For this
petty tax the solemn legislature of the State
would proclaim themselves and constituents
paupers and absconders. The following

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt FASTENED the
death of many invalids, by depriving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with
pectoral disease should be supported by every
assurance of cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, forebOding countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians
theorize as they WILL we have d mass Of evil
dence to prove that persons having all the
symptoms of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectoraton, pain and oppression,
sore throat diarrh9a, night sweats, burning
fever. &C., have been permanently cured by

paper. more than ordinarily careful peru

especially would we ask the bulldozing mem
bers of MIR. Waless church to give it their
careful and prayerful attention.
Evidently the Reverend Gentleman little
dreamed that his TRADE against the men who
furnish him with bread and butter would re-
turn to these eastern climes to tease and
plague him Skipping over the very modest
allusion to the great popularity of his Sunday
evening lectures, which is left for the other
ministers of Biddeford and Saco to dispose of
as may seem proper to them, it is quite safe
to say that the letter contains sentiments and
expressions which Mr.. Wales would hardly
like to see printed in a Biddford journal.
They would do for Iowa and the eye of Major
General Siubbs, but for home perusal the au-
thor would scarcely recommend tor them a
general circulation.
All of the queer things about the case do
not appear ''on the face of the papers" Some
of them do. For instance, how does our ex-
cellent clerical friend reconcile the idea OF
his always having been republican, as he
states. with his determination to go to Angus

to form coalition ''to defeat one of the most

innate theme for newspaper discussion.
One fact, however, which does not appear

then, repeating the request to give MIR.

Prices in Manila for hemp have risen. so

The last report of the British Consul at
Shanghai especially refers to the increasing
sale in China of American cotton cloth, an
increase which he terms positively start
ling;" but at the same time. asserts that it
has not been profitable to manufacturer or
exporter and that there is surmise abroad
that the American manufacturers have been
sacrificing goods which they could not sell,
in order to get lead in the market for the
future. As yet, he says. the American goods
have been unaduterated, but ''if the trade
in honest cottons does not show better results
in the future, Americans will eventually
have to suit their stuff to the prices China
men will pay, or take their goods to another
market" He adds, that 'the preparation,
packing, and shipment of American goods,
are as yet, clumsily done, and an excessive
proportion of them arrive damaged by sea-
