The Chinese, who hate England and
the English as only thoroughbred Mon
golians can hate, have, of late years,
transferred large portion Of their com
mercial allegiance from the tight little
Isle" to these United States. They are
buying large quantities of cotton goods
and -four from us, because we do not
force them to purchase opium from US.
As they can now buy cotton goods from
us almost, if not entirely, as cheap as
they can from England, and can GER
tainly buy -four much cheaper from
America, the merchants of the Pacific
Slope are turning their attention most
seriously to this new traffic. The case is
almost the same with the South Ameri-
can, Central American, and Mexican
people. They are tired Of the dictatorial
and tYrannical treatment they meet with
at the hands of the merchants of Eng.
land.

Among the absurd sensational rumors
from Washington Is the following fur
nished By the correspondent Of the
Atlanta CoHsfitUts0n. The dispatch
says:
'fIn their journey with the funeral
train from Washington, the Republican
and Democratic Senators discussed the
political situation fairly, and reached q
plan to adjust matters satisfactorily II
the Senate, without q wrsngle like that
Of last spring, which would shock the
country and be unseemly. The arrange
ment was not 10 be binding on those not
present, but II is believed that the non
participants viii accept the plan Ed
munds for the Republicans, and Gar
land for the Democrats, were the orlgl-
nators Of the talk, and they notified their
party friends by mail and telegraph that
a caucus would be held October 8, at
Washington, by their respective parties.
and, if the agreements were car
RED out, a Joint committee OF I'VE
would be selected to arrange details. The
result Of the agreement is that Anthony,
or some other Republican, selected by
the Republican caucus, should be made
acting Vice President pro tenn of the
Senate without dissent; that the Dem
ocrats name the Secretary Of the Senate,
an Office now vacant, and retain the pres
ent Sergeant-at arms, or select his sue
cessOr. The present committees are to
be undisturbed- The Senste consists of
g members-37 Democrats, 81 Repub
licans, and Judge Davis, who viii act
with the Republicans in organizing the
Senate. in accordance with bis speech
last spring. in which he claimed the
organization Of the Senate should har-
monte with the Executive. When the
Senator's from New York and Rhode
Island are sworn in, the Republicans
will have the msjOrity. There would,
therefore, be no reason or advantage in
taking advantage in the present situs
ton"
We are unprepared to put any conf
dence in the above statement. We can
not bring ourselves to believe that the
Democratic Senators who, attended the
remains Of the late President to their
final resting place. beguiled the tedium
Of their mournful journey by connecting
a scheme to sell out the Presidency Of
the Senate, the control Of which they
owe to the country for the consideration
Of share of the elective offices Of that
body. Such a compromise, involving
surrender Of their conceded rights and
a disregard of their manifest duty,
would be but needless and improper,
and its consummation would most surely
disappcint the just expectations Of the
people.

The Future Of the Negro I'm the
Initial States.


T. Stahl Pntfsrsoa ~ tks P0pular Science
4oREAlB for October.
Whist will be the direction of colcred
migration in the futuref This win de-
pend in part on the policy of States and
of the General Government toward tie
colored people. Formerly it was a cur
rent speculation that the blacks would
drift toward certain States in the South,
which would pass under colored control
in all respects, to the exclusion of the
whites This, however, is not likely to
take plsces except by the interference of
the General Government If, under the
pretext Of free ballot, the bsyonet is re-
sorted to by any party in power at Wash
ington, and certain States in the South
are again brought under the control of
ignorant masses led by political adYen-
turers, Southern society may be forced
into different form from that which
now prevails. Under the continuance
of such policy, if it could be maintain.
ed, certain States might become ex-
clusively colored, and society therein
sink toward q form OF semi barbarism.
The white would eventually be driven
out by political corruption, maladminis-
tration, and State bankruptcy. Aud let
no man be deceived; if the native whites
are compelled to abandon certain South
ern localities on account Of uninstructed
colored performance in local admins
tration, the Yankee, or any other who is
studious Of thrift, will not take their
place. Only q few shaFpers and the
Vulture in search OF political carrion viii
be found there But this alternative of
the negro problem" is not likely to be
adopted. Hardly any party is ready to
go into history with such policy, for,
if it tripped, as it might, il would be bad
for such party. II is the teaching Of all
history that those who have had freedom
Of self-rule have proved themselves com
petent to take it and hold it in despite Of
despOts. This self assertion is a neces-
sary condition Of freedom and its
maintenance There is no such thing as
freedom under exotic tutelage If
people who are numerically in the ma
jonty can only be secured in their
political rights by national troops, then
do such people illustrate political serf-
dom in becoming the tools Of the
party in power, and freedom becomes
an abortion by the method used to Sc
cure it.
The problem, then, is to be determined
on the presumption that local self-govern-
ment in the South shall be in the hands
of those who are competent to direct it;
and that existing forces, under which
the South has multiplied so rapidly in
population during the las! ten years, shall
continue to operate.

The SECRETARYsHIP OF THE SENATE.
"A Washington dispatch says: ut has
not yet been made plain what course the
Republicans will pursue in reference to
the Secretaryship of the Senate-whether
they will permit an election in advance
of the swearing in of the new Republi-
can Senators, or whether they will resist
an election until all the vacant seats are
filed. Should they elect to pursue the
latter alternative it cannot be foreseen
what advantage it would prove to them,
even should they be successful in delay
ing the election, as they cannot command
the majority necessary 10 elect. If the
Republicans decide to present a candi-
date for Secretary of the Senate the
choice will naturally fall on Mr.. Cor
ham, for it is said and generally &C
cepted that Mr.. Malone will support no
other Republican for that position. Sew
eral gentlemen are spoken of as candi-
dates for the Democratic nomination for
Secretary, among whom are General
Young, of Georgia, Mr.. L. O. Washing
ton, and Rees B. EdmOndson, of Ten
nessee, at present clerk in the Office of
the Secretary of the Senate"

The snub administered to ex Senator
Conkling at his own home by the refusal
Of a majority of the Republican men,
bers of the Utica Convention to unite in
making him delegate to the State Con-
vention must be peculiarly CALLING to q
man of his sensitive and domineering
character. 1t is the unkindest cut he
has received since he resigned his seat in
the Senate and dramatically appealed to
the Legislature for vindication. Com
pared with the disappointment of his en-
deavor to secure a re election this Utica
episode Is a small matter, but that only
makes it the more aggravating. For his
right to sit as a delegate In Republican
Convention to be disputed by his own
townsmen is heavy setback for man
of Mr.. Conklings pretensions to national
leadership in his party.

Mr.. BLAINE AND THE CABINET. The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Commercial says: There are various
rumors afloat in regard to changes in
the Cabinet, and some of them, it would
seem, are well founded. The fact that
Secretary Blaine will go direct nome to
Maine from Cleveland furnishes good
ground for suspicion that he will not re-
turn to Washington until the President
announces his intentions in regard to the
Cabinet. / have no doubt from what l
have learned that there has been pleas
ant understanding between General Ar
thur and Mr.. Blaine, and but for the
unpleasant relations existing between
General Grant, Dir. Conkiing and the
Secretary Of State, that President Arthur
would like to retain him. Mr. Blaine
realizes the situation, and will, no doubt,
relieve the President from his present
embarrassment by sending in his resig
nation. 1t is notorious that General
Grant and Mr. Conkling are unfriendly
to Mr.. Blaine, and would be most IN
happy should the President consent to
have Mr.. Blaine stay. That he will re-
sign is pretty generally understood, if
not before the extra session Of the Sen
ate, certainly before the meeting Of Con
gress in December"

Considerable significance has been &C

dental hand, when ex President Hayes,

barrassment. advanced, with hand ex-
tended. President Arthur took it. The
shake seemed to be cold, even if it was
not. When the ex-President was making
the salutation, Senator Sherman
was gazing intently upon the
scene For the instant he was a
study. What would he dor
A moment. though, settled it. He
advanced with cat-like tread, held out
his hand, received a shake, and passed
away. That was all"

Suggestions, in ignorance of course of
the facts, have been made in various
quarters that the Democrats should per
nit the organization of the committees
to remain undisturbed as existing at the
close of the special session Of the Senate.
There will be no committees when the
Senate meets on the 10th of October, as
the committees of the Senate always fall
with the expiration of the session. The
committees cannot be reorganized by
either the Republican or Democratic half
of the Senate without the consent of the
other, and as has already been remarked,
this will be a subject for consultation
and agreement

In regard to the possibility Of elimi-
mating violent partisan bitterness from
national politics, the Cincinnati Gazette,
itself bitter sectional partisan, says:
cit is too much to expect that bitter
partisan warfare is at an end in this
country. The solemn observance for the
illustrious dead with the recollections Of
his virtues and his sufferings, now unite
the people in a common brotherhood
which shows no place for party differ
ences, but if there were no clashing
opinions in regard 10 public measures,
the selfshness and greed of individuals
will invent excuses for recrimination.
But woe be to him from whom the

Certainly it is better, now that the
tragedy is over, to accept the theory that
the Presidents death was inevitable IN
der any circumstances. No good can
come of specializing on the results that
might have ensued had the Presidents
physicians located and extracted the ball
Immediately after the shooting. No
doubt, his best and only chance of life
would have been given HIM in that event,
but whether this was q good chance must
always be uncertain. OF course it is
impossible to deny that the physicians
went very far astray as to the nature Of
the wound, the direction taken by the
ball, and nearly every other important
feature of the case; but whether the end
could have been made different by clear
er and more exact diagnosis and more
heroic treatment, is and must remain q
problem. This is one Of the instances
where the fatalist philosophy is the happi-
est and most consoling. The President is
dead and all speculation as to how he
might have been saved will only serve to
embitter a sense Of loss already deep
enough

The New York Times thus notes the
frank sincerity Of the sorrow manifested
in the South: "The Southern news
papers refer to Garfield as an honest,
patriotic, and brave Chief Magistrate, as
well as loveable man. They deplore
his untimely taking of as most lament
able, and they dwell with great unanim-
ity upon the fact that the long sickness
of the dead President showed to the
world that the hearts of the people North
and South are as one Out of the heavy
aff1iction of the past eleven weeks we
may take this cheerful thought-the idle
differences that have separated two sec
tions of the republic have disappeared
in the presence Of common grief. In
the comments of the Southern news

plunged the nation into mourning there
is not one dissonant note"

The advocates Of the protective policy
in Canada endesvor to ape as nearly as
possible the protectionists in this coun-
try. They are now talking about sbol-
Ishing the duty on tea and coffee for no
other reason than because the United
States did so. The protectionists want
no revenue raised from that source be-
cause the tax does not protect any Of
their interests. This policy, fully car
ried out, would end in the adjustment
of duties on all commodities not pro
duced here and the collection Of the
needed revenue tax, for the support of
the government, upon the clothing we
wear, and upon the raw material and
tools of industry that enter into the use

cy is shown in the maintenance OF a
high tariff on sugar. which can more
properl; be classed among the neces-
saries of life than either tea or coffee.
This duty protects the sbominable glu.
cose industry which can only be COM
batted successfully with cheap sugar.
