New YORK, November 26.--Tbe World
says of the treaty: What sort Of a treaty
1t is we shall know better soon than we do
now, and we will hope for the best; but
there is something rather suspicious in the
facility with which the Chinese Govern
ment seems to have conceded to us the
right to restrict the coming Of Chinese
subjects into the United States. 1t is not
likely that this can have been granted
without an eye to eventual, if not to I'M
mediate reciprocity.
Specializing ON Col. Fairs Vote In
Chicago.
New YORK, November 26.-The Times
this morning prints a letter from a Vir-
ginia City correspondent, who undertakes
to explain the cause Of the recent Republi-
can defeat in Nevada. The writer attrib-
utes the great calamity to General Sher-
mans blunt pro- Chinese speech during
Hayes visit to Virginia City, and to the
Hayes visit itself, and to the Morey letter.
Commenting upon b letter the Times
says: 1.-THE Republican party certainly
loses very little in the United States SEN
ate by the defeat of Senator Sharon. 1t is
an open question whether the Democratic
party will gain much by the election Of
Fair, assuming that Fair will vote right
every time, it is plain that the country at
large may be congratulated with felicity
of Nevada's latest choice, however much
the managers of the Democratic party may
have cause to be Disguised with 1t.

ka, and predicts a prosperous future for

Gloomy View OF the Political MO
rality of the Nation.
New YORK, November 26.-Dr. Bellows
preached in place Of Robert Collyer yes
terday, and took q gloomy view OF the po-
litical morality Of the nation. whether we
are advanced in the righteousness In which
the foundations Of the Republic were laid.
as we are in material prosperity. Looking
at our treatment Of the inferior races, he
thought there was room for grave appre-
tensions OF our future. He referred to the
prevailing apathy of the people in regard
to the colored freedmen in the South, and
the disposition to leave them to work out
their " salvation amid adverse surround
ings. He also spoke of the ~discreditable
condition Of the public mind in relation to
the Chinese and Indian questions.
Beecher also referred to the same subject
as follows !: Religion here is developing as
an ally OF humanity. Here we are poly
glot, with the single exception of the in
famous and wanton persecution Of the
Chinese. Where has there ever been
any feud between the races? The
e~ternally quarrelsome Irishman, too bad
for q blessing, and too good for o curse, is
responsible for the exception; but his
children are our glory. The Indians are
passing away; q remnant will be saved.
The cruelty and outrages which have been
heaped upon them are q black stain on the
Nation. God will not forget. We shall
suffer fearfully for it. The same hand
which avenged slavery will avenge the
Indian.
