yesterday. "He is not understood by the pub
lie, who have read nothing about him thus far
except that he is lively, that he courts atten-
tion. and that In face Of the dread fact that he
is doomed to an early death on the gallows, he
loves to joke with his visitors. MY friends, that
man stands alone. The people who come to see
him are those who come out OF curiosity, and
those who care nothing for the soul that Is so
soon to be ushered into the presence Of the
Almighty. Cox has gone to the Father OF all
and pleaded for pardon through the Saviour.
He has received that pardon and Is saved. He
tells me that Immediately after the burglary he
began to pray; and from that time to this he
has continued to pay. When he went to Boston
he joined In the worship OF God at Ebenezer
church, and it was while listening to sermon
that he was arrested His seeming Indifference
to his impending fate is the GOd-given con-
seriousness that " hen his earthly career is done

has made to err1ng souls. He seems happy. my

The Chinese ouestion.

The New York Tribune, discussing the Chinese question, says: The Ma ton is under contract that California shall allow Chinese all privileges that English, Irish, French or Ger man immigrants enjoy. A general discussion in Congress at an early day, and under conditions somewhat new is strongly foreshadowed. The effort made in 1878 resulted in a re- commendation that the State Depart ment would procure modification of the treaty. What attempt or pro- gross has been made in any such en- dcavor may not be fully known It is fortunate for the general interest of the whole country, that the sub ject must come before Congress for final decision for only thus can & due consideration of the advantages ob- tainable from commerce, which the treaty authorizes. as compared with the inconvenience of the immigration it sanctions, be attained.

Irish Lnud TreubIes.

LONDON. September 30.-The Tinei on the disorganizing effects of Pr nell's policy, says it would become really formidable only if it should extend all over Ireland. The Pail Mall Gazette says that the complaints of the Irish tenant farmers are most ly genuine; that they are for the moment unable to pay their rent, and they believe in their right to remain on the land. If general refusal to pay. rent is followed by wholesaIs eviction, this will almost certainly be followed by series of agrarian mur ders, and .unless the Irish executive is prepared te support the landlords by measures amounting to little less than military occupation of large part of the country, the landlords will have to chsose between virtually eonceding the tenants claims, and giving the signal for an outbreak of something hardly distinguishsblc from civil war.
