NEW YORK, September 30th.-A
Times special from Raleigh, N. c.,
says: Colonel Thomas b. Keogb,
Chairman of the Republican State
Committee, was in this city some
days ago, in company with Judge
Thomas Settle, of Florida. These
two gentlemen had just returned
from tour through the Northern
States. In the course of their trav-
els they met and talked over the
political situation and the policy of
the party for the rarty for the next
year with Senators Conkling, Car
penter, Logan, Cameron and
Chandler. So far as their investi-
cations extended, Gen. Grant is the
choice of nine-tenths of the Repub-
iicans for President, because it is
believed that he can be elected;
because under his candidacy the
entire Republican vote of the "sol-
id South would be rallied and
aroused; because there would be
more reason to expect q free cleo.
ton and a fair count with Grant as
the Republican candidate.

on the Chinese Question.
NEW YORK, Sept. 30th.-A cor
respondent writes to the Times oh.
jecting to some comments made by
that paper on the Oregon Chinese
case. The correspondent says: "In
the first place, in California the
definition of Pioneers comprehends
chiefly that class of gold seekers
who arrived on the coast during
and few years subsequent to the
year 1S49. Hence the term of forty
miners, so common there; and Sec
ondly, the few survivors of the class
who emigrated to the Pacific Coast
before 1o49, or served in the army
aud navy on those shores during
the Mexican war, Will, l think,
testify that among the first TO
reach California i'll the grand
scramble of 1919, no more useful,
orderly and, for a time, more pop
ular class of emigrants ever landed
in San Francisco than our Chinese
Johns. They established our first
laundries and cheap eating houses,
supplied our first household SER
wants and formed really desirable
and deserving little munity.
The prejudice against them is of
later growth than the days of 1S49,
and though there Is an honest, WELL
grounded conviction among true
pioneers of the Plcific States that
Chinese immigration should be
carefully regulated, and the habits
and customs of this people among
us be controlled and modified by
wise laws, L think speak the SEN
timent of q majority of the Oldest
Californians when L say they do
not share the vulgar. inhuman and
una merican feeling common in
California to-day, and known
among our papers as Chinapho-
bia."

The Esovivai in Trade.
NEW YORK, Sept. 30th.-The
Times prints q page of interviews
with leading firms in all branches
of business, whose views on the
condition OF trade, are almost with.
out exception exceedingly encour-
aging. Sales are reported larger,
and generally though not invaria-
bly, at somewhat better prices. The
quality of goods demanded is no.
ticea bly, different from those in de-
mand, showing greater ease on the
part of'retaii purchasers. So far as
can be seen there is but little ten
dency to initiation OF credit or over
buying. The new life to be seen
and felt In trade appears to be the
legitimate consequence of natural
recuperative forces.
The Tribune says: the volume of
business now being done is enor-
nous. The exchanges at this city
for the four weeks ending Septem-
Der 9th have amounted TO So 0S2,-
235. 4i2, against S1,3S2,61S,577 for
the corresponding weeks last year.
1t is true that considerable part
of the increase of 700 millions in
payments has been due to
greater transactions in stocks.

in 1878, but remarkably large
proportion of the transaction was
in low priced stocks this year. De-
Quoting double the value of stocks
sold, the remaining exchanges for
the four weeks still show an in
crease of 42.7 per cent. over last
year, and the transactions at other
cities show a very large increase
also. It is to be regretted that so
much of the business done il of a
speculative sort, as in wheat, corn,
pork, petroleum and coal, prices

thereby.
