Ellsworth American., 1880-04-15

The centenary Of the birth Of William
Ellery Charming, the eminent Unitarian d
vine, was celebrated at Newport, X. H.
Wednesday.
1t is reported that an influential viceroy
Of the Chinese empire recently told an Amer
ican gentleman that what the United States
did was matter of supreme Indifference to
him up to the point of their saying: "The
Chinese must go." In this case he declared
he would Immediately turn all the Ameri-
cans, including ministers and missionaries,
out Of China.
An exchange says that "The Tory party
IN England and the democratic party in the
United States simultaneously came into
power in the popular branches Of the legis-
laiures of their respective countries in the
year 1874. The Tories lose in the House oi
Commons in 1850. and the prospects are
that the coincidence will le carried ou, by q
democratic defeat the same year for the con-
troll of the House of Representatives"
The Car emulaies the example Of the
elderly danes Of most nations of regularly
looking under every possible piece of furni-
ture for the deadly burglar assassin. His
bath is examined every morning BY the med
ical officers of his household before he ven
lures to use it, and he seldom approaches a
stove or fireplace lest some explosive mate
rial, concealed among the fuel, should have
been secretly introduced into it. He ap-
| pears extremely nervous. takes no interest in
State business. and exhibits total indiffer.
ence even to the military details which have
heretofore constituted his favorite occupa
| ton.

|at an entirely novel reason has been as
signed of late by Peter b. Lay OF Lafayette
for legal separation from his wife. Their

being rampant Democrat and she an ar
dent Republican of the Proselytizing school
He had subscribed for the Democratic local
newspaper, the Dispatch, but she was un-
willing he should read it, and even refused
TO allow the carrier to leave it at the house.
Lay countermanded the order and the shee,
was put under the front door only to be
thrown by the wife into the fire. The car
rier was then instructed to deposit it in the
barn, but the alert Mrs. Lay captured it
there and promptly consigned it to the
flames. Other efforts were made TO intro
duce the Dispatch into the wood-pile, the
chicken coop and the smoke house, though
they were all defeated by the vigilance OF
the wife. Lay complained bitterly Of the
invasion Of his marital and political rights,
and finally proposed compromise, which
was only spurned. Driven to desperation,
the husband consulted lawyer, who, being
Democrat. declared the woman's conduct
so heinous an outrage as TO justify immedi-
ate divorce. A bill has been filed, and the
case Will come to trial at once If the Judge
be Democrat, divorce will no doubt be
granted. But whatever the result, Voorhees,
will be pretty sure to see in the action OF

spiracy to carry the State at all hazards

The Chinese Question.

On the first page will be found lcsz
ter from gentleman. former resident
of Maine, at present living in Sa Fran
cisco. The letter Is interesting from the
fact that ii gives his views OF the Chi
nese question. These views are. doubt
less. shared by many Caliiornians OF a
much more conservative type than the
''sand-lo,ters. The cry that 1.-THE Chi
nese mus, GO" regardless of treaty obli-
CATIONS. and the reports of brutal as
saults, made by the lower classes in
San Francisco, on the Chinese, have
naturally given rise to sympathy for
them in the Eastern aud Middle States.
which renders difficult, any legislation
that may be necessary to correct existing
evils. Ii Is also believed that our coun-
try is broad enough TO furnish homes
and employment to all who may come
here. regardless of the portion of the
old world from which they may come,
and that time will in measure, rectify
the evils that now exist. Allow the
Chinese the right of citizenship and
many would avail themselve. of the
right. II any fault exists in the treaty.

are brought into the country. let i, be

Letter from Washington.
WASHINGTON, ID. C., April 10, !

WASHINGTON, ID. C., April 10, 1880
The Democratic majority are still running
away from their own shadows. Having
been obliged in Difference to the FIRE eating
element TO press upon the army bill the
clause against troops al the polls, they are
now postponing consideration of the bill as
long as possible. 1t is supposed that they
are fearful their majority cannot stick To-
gether for the purpose of pushing i, through
without debate, and they are delaying in
order TO convince the erring brethren. They
dare not lie, the bill 20 along in the usual
way for discussion, knowing that the Repub-
licans are all ready for them with some Of
their wholesome facts and arguments.
The Democrats in the Senate are worry
ing considerably about what to do with the
Kellogg case in Louisiana. The Conserva-
tive men are opposed to unsea,ing him al
together, while several others think it would
be injudicious to unseat him now, pending
campaign in which they will need all the
good opinion they can have from the public.
The Democratic Senators have been eau
cusing anxiously on the subject for several
days, and nobody knows what the result is
or will be. 1t is probable however that
Senator Kellogg will be unseated before the
elections are out Of the way. The threat Of
punishment at the polls is what keeps them
decent in matters Of this sort.
Several steamships have arrived at differ
ent ports lately with unusually large num-
bers Of emigrants, most of whom are bound
for the Western States. These indications
point to an immense inflow of foreign labor
this season arising from the troubles in Eu-
rope and the improved condition Of business
in this country. This is a pretty good re-
sponse to the croakers who fail to recognize
the service the Republican party has done in
making this the most attractive part Of the
world for the fugitives from oppression and
hardships.
Even the Democrats who thought that
Congress will get away before late in June
are scarce now, and there are are some who
declare openly that Sam Randall has been
fooling when he promised an adjournment
in April.
The Democrats will now change the man.
agement of the Soldiers Homes. Six man.
ayers are to be elected BY the House, and
they are all to be Democrats Confederate
Brigadiers will nov dictate terms to disabled
Union soldiers. But suppose we must
stand this and the numberless other enormi-
ties until after next election. KATAHDIN.

The soft money papers are devoting a
good deal Of space to the fact tina, in foreign
countries American greenbacks are as good
as gold, and they attribute the fact to their
full legal tender. No sensible man believes
that the full legal tender has anything to
do with such a result. 1t is resumption,
and the knowledge that behind the green
back dollar is dollar in gold, for every one
who wants it, that has given the greenback
its character and standing in foreign coun-
tries.

cause there is an offensive odor about the
Southern negro witness that makes him

This is the first intimation Of delicate
organization in any way connected with the
Senator, who delights in being called ..the

know him will find it difficult to believe that
it is not the testimony rather than the odor
OF the witnesses that produces such serious
results on the Indiana Senator.

The KELLOGG CAsE.-The moderate men
among the democrats succeeded on Saturday
in quelling the hotspurs who wished to un-
seat Kellogg, and the Senator will remain
undisturbed for the present At least. 1t is
understood that there are at least ten demo-
cratic Senators who rather than allow the
case to be precipitated on the Senate now
