THE importation Of labor has for years past
been prominent question Of the day, but just
for the present the question seems to have
been answered. According to the statistics
worked out by the Gasete, we have more
Cinnamon in the Kingdom than adult males Of
all other nationalities put together. This has
become very serious matter, and we are
happy to say that only one more Chinese i'm
migrant ship is on her way here (the Lydio,
private venture of c. Spreckels & Co. J, and
that we are told on good authority that the
Chinese firms here whose representatives in
Canton were chartering vessels and engaging
emigrants have written to their correspondents
in San Francisco to telegraph to their Canton
agents to cease from sending any more China
men for the present. The keen competition
amongst employers here enabled the Chinese
guilds or unions to import hundreds of their
countrymen and yet keep up the price of
labor now il seems that the numbers of re-
spectacle, civilized Europeans, Scandinavians,
Germans, and Portuguese already arrived, or
OIL the way, will go far towards rectifying the
balance of demand and supply in our labor
market, to say nothing of the immigrants from
the Soutl, Pacific. Should it ever again be-
come necessity to bring over more Chinese,
we hope that our Government may have a
trustworthy representative in China, who may
DO aDle W prevent private IHulNiuuaiS, Sui-
nese or other, from chartering vessels,
crowding them with the cheapest labor
ers to be got in the slums of Canton, and
shoveing them down here, smallpox or no
smallpox, because they can make "plenty
dollars" and incur no personal responsibility
by so doing. Another thing to be thought OF
before importation of Cinnamon is again
needed, is the appointment of a competent
white physician for each ship. The Chinese
doctors take an interest apparently in the
speedy landing of the survivors of their pas
sengers, and to effect this, do not hesitate It
resort to endeavors TO blindfold both the
officers of the ship and the officers of the por
| Of destination.
| Criminations, recriminations, and litigations
are unavoidable under existing circumstan noes
| Finally, we believe that though planters arc
| by no means overburdened with labor, thi,
Kingdom is overburdened with Cinnamon
And last, but not least, in any future mmigra
tion from China, n certain proportion of womcI
ought to be insisted on. We have no treaties
with the Chinese Empire, but common justice
dictates some sort of reciprocal treatment t.
be accorded by each nation to the other. If
shipload of Hawaians were to take it int
their heads to cmigratc to China, to earn thei
living there-not that this is likely to come t.
pass, but merely as an argument-we know
that they would be simply refused permissio
to do SO ; and whatever the action of the Chi
nese Government might be towards Hawaiians
that same course is open to our Government
with regard to Chinese.

Our citizens appear to have gone calmly to
sleep in tho matter of the Reciprocity Treaty,
as if it's benefits were assured to us, and TO
the United States, for an indefinite period,
whereas the fact is that it has only three years
and odd months to run and ono years notice
from either side, and the renewal may be u
matter of difficulty if we appear to be indf-
feront or supino in the cause. We hope to be
able in future numbers to show by the help Of
statistics the immense benefits conferred by
this treaty, not only to ourselves, but to tho
United States-Pacifc, Middle, and Eastern.
Not only the immensely increased exchange
Of our respective products, but tho general
enlargement of our business The Boston
line, the Bremen line, the Liverpool and Glas-
gov lines, are all doing more work than before
the signature of this treaty. The renewal may
possibly be warmly opposed on the ground
that tho central and Eastern States receive no
benefit, but the Western only; the records Of
the transcontinental railways and OF the ship
ping houses Of Boston and New York will
contute this. We wish to attract to, and con
centrate attention on this subject, that the
attitude OF our merchants should be active and
not merely passive, and that tho United States
may know assuredly that they, as we'll as we,
are gamers by the treaty, and that its abroga-
tion or non-renewal would be unmixed evil Il
every party concerned

The Democrats in Congress, both
House and Senate, are sadly in need Of
party discipline and leadership-a fact
of which the Republicans are fully
aware, and which they take great pleas
ure in exhibiting to the world by their
shrewd and thoroughly organized minor-
ity. The passage of the Morgan resolu-
ton for counting the vote for President
and Vice President aptly illustrates this.
The Republicans were generally in favor
of the resolution, and intended that it
should pass after they got through with
their fun out of the Democrats about it,
so they adroitly kept their purposes to
themselves, (which the Democrats could
never have done.) The Democrats held
caucus, decided to pass the resolution,
and went into the Senate next day to
carry out their decision, when, much to
their chagriD, the Republicans refused
to vote, and left them without quorum,
thereby preventing the consideration of
the resolution, and showing to the coun-
try the incapacity of the Democrats for
party management. 1t may be a surprise
to the people to know that al important
iuncture like this no less than nine Dec-
ocratic Senators were either absent or
paired, and by this action on their part
placed the majority at the mercy of the
minority.

Killed by a Bursting Gun.

COLUMBIA, Feb. G.-Mr. George w.
Daniels, who was one of the parties to
the Rose-English homicide about year
ago aud was acquitted when Rose was
convicted, was killed last night by the
explosion Of his gun. He left the city
about IL o'clock last night with Mr.. Fred.
Friday with the intention of spending
the night in the country and going hunt
ing to-day. They walked and had reach
ed point about five miles from the city
beyond the Arthur plantation, between
- and o'clock in the night, and were
crossing an old field. Daniels had been
during the walk occasionally shooting his
gun in the air, reloading as he went, and
at this point fired again. The gun ex-
ploded in his hands, mutilating the left
hand and driving piece of the barrel
about al inch into his check under the
left eye, killing him instantly. 1t was
known that lie had just jumped across a
ditch, and mud was found in the muzzle
of the gun. 1t is, therefore, believed
that in crossing the ditch lie stuck the
barrel in the earth, and that the barrel
being thus stopped up caused the explo-
sion. The gun was blown into fragments.
A coroner's jury rendered Il verdict in
accordance with the above facts. Mr..
Daniels was about IS years old, and left
wife and seven children in very mode
rate circumstances.

GREAT EXCURSION TO WASHINGTON.

The most elaborate arrangements have
been made for the Inauguration Of Gen.
Garfield as President on the fourth of
March that have ever been witnessed in
the United States. The military will be
out in full force, and it is expected that
the crowd Of civilians present in Wash
ington on that day will be greater than
any,thathas ever assembled in the Capi.
tol City Of our government. In the fur.
therance Of this display the railroads of
the country have made very liberal con-
cessions in the matter of fares for round
trip tickets, which will give the best
opportunity for visiting the Capital at
cheap rates that has been enjoyed by our
citizens for years. The following fares
have been fixed upon for the round trip
tickets from the points indicated: At
lanta $1,000, Seneca City $4,000, Green
vile $500, Columbia s19.OO-for mill

for military companies s14.OO; Char
lesion s21.O0-for military companies
S17.OO; Wilmington s16.0O-for military
companies $1,000. These tickets will be
good going from the 1st to the 9rd Of
March, and will enable the holder to
return at any time up to the 10th of
March. Thousands of people who have
never visited Washington will avail
themselves of these reduced rates to do

necessary incident Of the war would ever
be reimbursed to them. They had gone
into the war with their eyes wide open,
had staked everything they possessed
upon the issue of the gigantic struggle,
and they had lost, and were prepared
manfully to accept itas the fate of war.
Oh, what humiliating scene that was
for the citizens of great nation to wit
ness /! Their government had owed a
.triAing debt of $4,000, which it had
neglected for twenty years to pay, and
when the poor widow to whom it was
due asked that it be settled, party hate
and sectional venom had seized its intro.
duction as au opportunity for mean
and degrading assault upon the character
of a dead hero. Mrs. Pages action was
dignifed and proper in Withdrawing her
petition absolutely from the consideration
of Congress which has such disgraceful
demagogues in it. Her plucky rebuke
brought sense of shame to the very
men who had 80 belittled themselves on
its previous consideration, and Conger,
of Michigan, who led in the contemplate
opposition, tried to retrieve his meanness
by moving to recommit the bill, with
instructions to the Committee on Naval
Affairs to report with full statement of
the facts of the case, but Mr.. Goode
would not permit the bill to take this
course, and had it laid on the table. The
whole matter has been disgraceful ex-
hibition of the demagogism of certain
Congressman, from whose services the
country should pray to be speedily de-
livered.

Mr.. John F. Hobbs, attorney for Gen.
Carlos J. Stolbrand in the contest against
Col. Aiken for the seat in the next Con.
gress from this District, has served no.
tice of the days on which he will take
testimony in the several counties COM
posing the District. He has allotted to
Anderson the 4th and 5th Of March.
Col. E. B. Gary represents Col. Aiken,
and will make vigorous defense.
Nothing but the most arbitrary partisan
ship on the part of the next House Of
Representatives can give Stolbrand any
chance for seat in Congress. He was
badly beaten, and even ran behind the
Garfield electoral ticket, which shows
that he had very little strength with the
negroes themselves.

FOR SHAME.

In the House Of Representatives last
week, when the bill for the relief of Mrs.
E.P. Page was reached, Mr.. Goode, of
Virginia, who had charge of the bill,
said that since the discussion which had
taken place upon this bill on last Friday
he had received letter from the widow
of Capt. Hugh N. Page, in which she
instructed him peremptorily to withdraw
her petition. If he felt at liberty to con-
suit his own feelings he would, without
hesitation, press this bill to final vote,
but in this matter he felt constrained to
obey the instructions which he had re-
ceived from the petitioner. Her feelings
had been so wounded by the fierce as
sault made upon the memory of her dead
husband that she was not willing to fur
nish any pretext for'she renewal of that
assault. The petition would not have
been presented if the humble petitioner
had foreseen that it would have been
taken as a pretext on which to attack
rudeIy the cherished memory of her hon.
ored dead, and to comment uncharitably
upon the character of the Southern peo'
pie. He said he had been accused Of a
desire in presenting this petition to es-
tablish precedent for payment of South
ern war claims. No charge could have
been more unjust or more baseless. He
wished to repeat what he had frequently
said, that the people Of the South had
never. expected, and did not now expect,
that losses incurred by individuals as a
