THE latest mail brings the news of the rati-
fcation by the o. s. Senate of the treaties
between the Governments of China and the
United States in relation to commerce and
immigration. Although there was much oppo-
sition to the treaties when they were first
transmitted to the Senate, only four votes
were opposed to the ratification on the final
ballot. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts was
the only pronounced opponent The papers
give the following incident in connection with
his speech in opposition to ratification: "Thc
Massachusetts Senator had just brought one
OF his glowing periods to close with the
Scripural quotation, For God hath made of
one blood all nations of men to dwell on the
face of the EARTH" when General Miller,
Senator from California, exclaimed, Go on
quote the remainder of the sentence" "Thcre
is no more oe it," said. Hoar. ooh! yes,
tnere is rejoined Miller, "For the Apostle
Paul said, in addition to the words which the
Senator has quoted. ard hath determined the
bounds OF their habitation.'' This dvxtrous
turning of the tables was greeted with "A peal
of laughter from all parts of the Senate CHAM
Der, amid which the Massachusetts Senator
coniusedly attempted to question the accuracy
of the quotation but Miller quickly procured
copy of the Bible, and turning to ST. Paul's
speech on Mars Hill, read the whole passage,
