naturally oppose the movement as very
injurious to important industries of
their State, but the country at large has
also interests in Chinese commerce, as the
Pail Mall Gazette Of London recently made
plain. 1t said During the last four years,
ending 1877, British imports into China OF
manufactured cotton and wool have been
nearly stationary, after falling in 1873 from
1925, 511 pieces TO I, gil, $50. The decrease
has not, indeed, been only in quantity but in
value, which has fallen with the quantity.
la these four years there was no less steady
and significant increase in the imports OF
American goods at Shanghai. The British
| Consul at Shanghai gives table showing the
yearly decrease in the demand for British
fabrics from 1874 to 1879. Last year the i'm
ports at Shanghai were respectively. English

The Chinese Trade and the Chinese ASi.
tation.
New YORK, March 3ath.-A Herald special
says: That the English should be ready to
help us out of China is natural, but that we
should shut ourselves suit at the bidding of
Denis Kearney is Ireposterous. 1t begins
to be seen here by Congressman that the
Chinese question cannot be settled on the
San Francisco sand lot, but that the indus
trious farmers and miners of California and
the cotton.spinners of the East and South
will have something to say about 1t before
they suffer themselves to be shut cut from
important and growing markets.

Washington special says: The testimony
taken by the House Committee on the

House, ACklen assigned as n reason for pre-
sentiug the bogus report, III which an old re-
port on the same subject made to the Forty
/ fifth Congress was incorporated, that the sup
ply Of printed copies of the old report was
exhausted. The Superintendent Of the
Document Room was called to-day, and tes-
tilted that there were still on hand at least
fifty copies Of the old report. This testimony
dispeses of the principal excuse offered by
.Aclllen for his extraordinary conduct.
