v.sLAND AND THE OPIUM
TRADE.

1t is stated upon what seems to be COCO
.r.bor;ty that the Chinese Government
has resolved definitely to put a stop to
the importation Of opium at any cost
VIII England attempt to retain this VII
famous trade by the use of force, and
AGAINST the moral sentiment OF the whole
world 1t is her chief export into China.
Her cotton goods trade is being rapidly
superseded by American merchants, part
" because of the superiority OF American
cotton goods, and partly on account OF
Chinese prejudice growing out OF the
opium trade. China is also engaged in
making her own cotton goods. One OF
Enoland's chief sources Of revenue Is the
ouium of India. This production Is also
the chief source Of support to English
rule in India.
II is a fact worthy Of special note that
the English press generally eoniesSes to
the barbarous, anti Christian spirit OF
this traffic, destroying people and nations
who resisted the use of the poisonous
drug with all their strength yet
because of the large revenue 1T yields a
Christian "a government continues the
nefarious business. The Chinese are not
alone the sufferers from the use OF tins
drug. The British Colony OF Burmah Is
fast becoming imbecile under its terrible
effects. A leading Journal, the Record
of India, SAYS. The Government having
forced the production of opium in India
it went into the Burmese District in spite
Of the most earnest protests OF the au-
thorities. and the result is that scores
and hundreds of villages are ruined, the
inhabitants becoming imbecile and COM
paratiyely worthless. The Aracanese pc
toned that the British Government, if
not willing to yield the revenue, should
prohibit the importation and make up
the amount lost by a capitation tax,
which they offered to pay; but the
plea of that innocent people was re-
fused" 1t was money that the English
wanted, and would have, ne matter for
the ruin Of the Aracanese. 1t seems i'm
probable that any nation should continue
long to prosper when thus violating the
highest principles OF human and Divine
law.

A PARLIAMENTARY return gives the
number Of prosecutions in England and
Wales from January l, 1875, to January
l, 1879, under the Vaccination act Of

neglected to procure the vaccination Of
a child and those who have disobeyed
the order OF a justice to vaccinate, also
how often prosecutions with regard tc
the same child were repeated. The re-

The Democrats of Ohio do well to thus
early place Allen 6 Thurman in the field
as their candidate for Governor next
year. If there is a man in that State
who can wrest its control from the hands
OF the gang of small Republican politi-
clans who now manage its affairs it is he.
There is but little doubt but that the
convention next Spring will bow to the
sentiment favoring his nomination. and
when the old man iourishes his red ban
dana Republicans will know that there is
a hard road ahead for them to travel.

TINE works wonders. Who would
have thought ten years ago, when Mr..
Gladstone was in the zenith OF his power
and popularity, when he was the daring
and triumphant champion Of the Irish
people, and was in the midst of achieving
those great reforms in the sphere of Irish
politics with which his name and his first
administration will always be associated,
that there would ever come \ day when
policemen would be detailed to guard
him from the violence of those whose
best friend he has always been.

Much Ado About Nothing.

We are somewhat surprised that the Raw
mond Gazette should have INDUCED in an
onslaught upon the Code and its codifer in
a criticism of a character hardly more than
silly, because the printer of these laws of 4he
State, making a large book of a thousand
pages, omitted by accident some two lines
which were afterward inserted on a slip as
errata but we were perfectly prepared for
the spasmodIc rage of the talented lunatic
of the Commercial, for his forte and
"talents" lie in the way of getting uu
stormy TRADES on small topics, and as a rule
with him, the smaller the teapot the more
furious the tempest; and this is WHY we
have been tender about his Code of archives
and that teapot was too big, he couldn't get

We copy the foregoing to concur in
the opinion expressed by the Herald,
that its neighbor with his exclamation
points has magnifed mole hill into a
mountain. We are authorized by the
State Printer to say that there was no
error, either of commission or omission,
marked by the Code Commissioner in
the proofslips, which was not corrected.
The erratum referred to was inserted bv
direction of the Commissioner and &C
cords with the original as fled In the
Office Of the Secretary of State. If any

The Funding Bill.

This bill passed the Senate substan-
TALLY in the form in which it came
from the House. The only really essen
tial difference existing between the two
houses are that the Senate has declared
in favor of 5-10-year bond, and (2)
that the Senate has declared in favor of
one-half of one per cent. commissions
for marketing the bonds, and the House
in favor of one-quarter of one per cent.
1t is more than probable that the two
houses win concur, but it is anticipated
that the bill viii be vetoed by the
President principally for the reason that
the interest is fixed at 8 per cent. in
stead Of 81 rs recommended by the
Secretary of the Treasury.

The Mississippi River Appropriation

The River and Harbor bill containing
the appropriation eff 81 900, 900 for the
improvement of the navigation of the
Mississippi river, and $S,000,O0O for
other objects, passed the House by &
vote of l61 to SO. The political CLASH
fcation of the votes for the bill is as
follows: Democrats 83; Republicans
So; Greenbackers I. Against the bill
Democrats So; Republicans 43 !; Green
hackers ).
The bill as passed contains proviso
introduced by Mr. Robinson (Republi-
cam of Massachusetts, declaring that no
portion of the sum hereby appropriated
shall be used in the repair or construc-
ton of levees for the purpose of pre-
venting injury to lands by overflow,
or for any other purpose whatever
except as means of deepening or i'm
proving the channel of the said river.
The friends of the improvement were
compelled to choose between the alter
natives of accepting the bill in this I'M
satisfactory form, or rejecting the pro-
viso and getting no appropriation.
Robinson after his success in attaching
this Odious condition to the appropria-
ton, voted in the negative.

The Lynch-Chalmers Contest.

The recent contested election case OF
Yeates. vs. Martin from North Carroll
ma, seems decisive of the contest between
John r Lynch and Gen. Chalmers in
this State. 1t will be remembered that
every ticket cast for Lynch had black
marks or dashes between the names OF
the candidates while all the other tick
cts used both by Republicans and Dem
Gratis throughout the State were without
marks of any kind. Our election law
provide that the tickets used shall be
without any device or mark by which
zone ticket may be known or dis
''tinguished from another, except the
"words at the head of the ticket" and
directs that tickets which violate this
provision shall neither be received nor
counted The election law of North Car
DINA provides that the ticket shall be
"without any distinguishing marks or
embellishments thereon except the
names of the candidates and the offices
for which they are voted for. 1t will
be seen that the laws are identical, ex-
cept that our law permits the use of
words at the head of the ticket while
the North Carolina law is silent on that
subject.
Mr.. Martin, the Republican candidate
for Congress in one of the North Carroll
ma districts, received 166 votes at GER
tain precinct which were counted by
managers of the election notwithstand-
ing the tickets used had at the head the
words Republican Ticket and Mr.. Mar
tin received a certificate of election. Mr..
Yeates contested his seat upon this and
other grounds. Seven members of the
Committee on Contested Elections re-
ported that in their opinion Mr.. Yeates
was entitled to the seat and that these
ballots were wrongfully counted. Five
members dissented from the report on
other grounds which they specified, ex-
plicitly declined to dissent as to this
point about the tickets, saying that they
would express no opinion upon it but
leave it to be decided by the House of
Representatives. The House adopted
the report of the majority and unseated
Martin and seated Yeates.
If the words Republican Ticket"
printed on the ballots make them ille-
gal where there is nothing said about it
in the law, certainly black marks and
dashes must do so when it is expressly !
declared that there shall be no 'fdevice |
Or mark by which one ticket shall be |
from another" 1t will be |
noted that although there were quite a
number of Republicans on the the Com
nittee on Contested Elections in the
House of Representatives not one of
hem took the position that the tickets
,ast for Mr. Martin with the printed
heading on them were legal. This GER
,ainly seems decisive of the contest
made by Lynch against Gen. Chalmers
md demonstrates the correctness of the
position which THE CLARION early as
iumed on that subject. Not Republi-
an on the Committee would assert as q
egal proposition that ticket should be
counted under the North Carolina stat
tie which had upon it any word or de-
ice save the names Of the candidates
y which it could be distinguished. No
nan win deny that Lynch's tickets
ould be distinguished by the marks
Ipon them /.

SEVERAL of our exchanges are copy
ing an article from the Vicksburg
Commercial, in reference to the appoint
ment of Committee by the Directors
of the Peabody Fund to memorabilia
the Governor and the Legislature Of
Mississippi, in reference to the payment
of the Planters Bank Bonds. In this
article, it is said
When the Legislature of Mississippi as
sembles at the capitol next winter, our
State Solons will have an opportunity of
tackling the question of the payment or
continued non-payment of the bonds, ETC.,
etc.
Neither the Governor nor the Legis-
lature, will have power to deal with
the subject. The following clause in
the Constitution Git originated with the
Republican regime of Ames) settles
that point:
Nor shall the State assume, redeem,
secure or pay any Indebtedness or pretended
Indebtedness claimed to be due by the State
of Mississippi. to any person, association, or
corporation, claiming the same as owners
holders or assignees of any bond or bonds,
now generally known as Union Bonds or
Planters Bank bonds.
In the same connection our contem-
porary "bounces" the Legislature thus
If the people continue to elect such Leg
islatures as the two last, the State will
continue to wallow in the slough of despond.
The Legislature would have been
more than mortal to have been free
from mistakes, but as rule its course
was patriotic and commendable, and we
can see no reason for the Commercials

THE st. Louis Republican in giving
an inquirer information of the mean
ing of funding, or refunding, a debt,
says:
Funding public debt is placing it in the
form of bonds, which bear interest payable
at stated times. Refunding is renewing
the bonds, or issuing others in their place,
when they fall due or payable.
As to the meaning of the words
''The bonds shall be redeemable in FIVE
years and payable in twenty" the Re-
publican explains
Bonds redeemable in five years and paya-
bic in twenty years, are those which the
government or other party issuing them
reserves the right to call in and redeem at
any time after five years from date, but
which it is not bound to pay till twenty
years from date.
