The only trouble about such a comei-
nation is that Ms. Seymour p sitlvely
forbids tue use of his name IN that con-
lection.

Our V rginis exchanges charge that
the defeat of the d, b,psyeIs, as the
Conservatives are called, 10 that S ae
last Tuesdsy was csused by the casting
IT the negro vote fer the resdjusters.
Tbe New I rk Tribune and the other
Rad csi organs who read the S ulhern
ID mncracy lectures on the subj c, OF
public honesty should rcmind their
readers of this fact. When the Begro

~, let him be shown up 10 the proper
light. The chnsa Of rspudi .tion can
t hold against the Conservatives OF
Virginia, if they can make good these
sts'ements as to the nduct OF colored
Republicans.
The last stir about the Prince of
Wales is to the effect that much struck
by the besuty of young married lady
to whom he had teen introduced, he
T. quested permission to call upon her.
| The lady of course had TO smilingly
consent, unless che took strong action,
so sue went forthwith ana informed
her husband. That gentleman told
her to leave 1t all to him and TO have
no fear. Acc rdin2ly tae day his Royal
HighLess called as per eppoin.men', he
was met at the door by numberless
powdered lackeys in full array. Scar
let cloth WAS lald on the uidoor steps,
and as much display made as possible.
The Prince ntver repeated his visit,
'or that was not what he wanted or ex-
pected.

and Conkllng are about 10 lin forces.
/; is also said that l. I'D II ,scoe never
forgsts or forgives sn Insult. In 1866,
Theodore Tilton, then q newspaper cor
respondent, said that the mantle OF
Henry Winter Davis had fallen upon
Conkling's shoulders. Mr.. Blaine,
spesking on the floor OF the House,
said: 'The resemblance Is great. Il
IS striking, Hyperio t. sstyr, Their
sites to Hercules, mud to marble, dung
hill to diamond, assignee cst 20 Ben
gal tiger, a whining puppy to a roaring
lion! Shade Of the mighty Davis, for
give the almost proclamation of that jo-
c)se sltire." Can Lord Roscoe have
forgotten Blaine's rude assault upon
him when they were mere C, ngress-

The Chinese continue t. pour into
the Hawaiian Islands in such numbers
that the gu :stion of how tl stop them
is growing to be Of serious Importance.
They constitute already over fifth OF
the entire population, and are almost
all males. They are useful on the sugar
plantations. but they do not assimilate
with the native population, whose ex-
tiDcticn they threaten at an early day,
and whom they will har lily replace sat
IsfactoriIy as loyal subjects aud citi-
z.nP. The government is trying to get
the needed labor supplies from the
South Sea Islands, but the owners o:
the II iwaiian sugar estates, who care
only for their own business interests,
q e perfectly willing to take the cheaper
Chinese. Over 1000 arrived at Homo
lulu in the second half of last year,

Notwithstanding what all the pa
pers may cav to the contrary, The health
of the Car Is far from good" says the
Paris correspondent of the Whitehall
Reuies0, ''snd give cause of the gravest
apprehension. The attaches of the
Russian Embassy will, of course, CON
tradict this when reporters call on them
CAS-, indeed, they already have done >
Out saw q letter from Berlin the other
day that came from very tigh quar-
ter, and in which were these words !:
La Car est de plas en- plus maldde Sa

rien Surely iIs is clear sun succ net
enough. II man cannot sleep, and
eats little or nothing, he mPy assuredly
be called seriously ill. As matter OF
fact, the once iron constitution of the
Car may give way suddenly any day,
and Alexander III be called upon 70
r lie over all the Russias. The death
Of his Majesty would be national ca :
lamity, and especially to be deplored
In Downing street."
The cable dispatch that Austria has
interfered in the settlement of The
Egyptian debt means something more
than q grumble, from YleDus il i, the
extention of tbs IL fiuence OF the double
! alliapce between Germany and Austria
over the Levant, and threatens the
close corporation management Of Egyp.
tian affairs hitherto carried GU by
France and England. but with what
result il 10 impossible to say. II may
end IN giving EngIand exclusive con-
troll through her regulations with the
alliance. The precise point at issue
ariees from the fact that the Knedive
borrowed freely on account of Egypt,
pledging it's revenues, and on his own
private accouD', pledging bis p,rsoua al
ettite. The ''internstionai1 tribunal
decided that, as every plaster the Khe-
i dive was worth had been made out OF
. Egypt, his private estate was liable in
equity TO the Egyptian bondholders.
Tne Khedive watched bis time, kicked
the court out of Egypt, and paid neither
set of creditors. S.Dce then the policy
OF France and Ecgland toward Egypt
has been apparently lnder the control
Of the RJtbschilds, aud directed in e.
vor Of the Egyptian bonds, OF which
the great bankers are large owners.
