An Chung.

All Chung is the namc Of a Chinaman who
is a carpenter, and who arrived in Boston
lately on the bark Manila. Under the late
law of congress he comes within tho prohibit
tion of skilled or unstilled laborers from
China not allowed to immigrato TO this
country. Proceedidgs havo boon taken In
the courts against tho captain Of the vessel
landing him here Many attempts have boon
made to induce All Chung, who is now con-
fined in Jail, to return to tho ship and thus
as it were, to relieve tho situation. All
Chung steadily refuses and prefers to pine
in jail rather than return to the celestial
kingdom.
Tho United States commissioner has de-
cidcd that tho o1onso charged against the
Chung to this country consists, not in bring
ing but in keeping him here. If the com
missioner could be satisfied that All Chung
would be carried out of the jurisdiction of
the United States, no further action would
be taken against the captain of the vessel.
But All Chung persistently refuses TO go. lie
hears the loud shouts of "turn the rascals
out" and "tho Cinnamon must go" with
stoical indifference, and waits for u decree Of
justice, which he has been led to believe will
be issued from tho Gland of the free and the
home of the brave"
Tho commissioner has been asked to take
measures to forco the Chinaman to go. This
he refused, and All Chung remains pris-
oner, and the question is, "What are you
going to do about it?"

sTurics.

There is evidently great need Of amend
ment of the jury laws all over the country.
The absurd idea that man who has read II
newspaper account of a crime, and necessarily
formed some opinion from it, cannot bo taken
on jury, when he is ready to change or
modify his previously formed or expressed
opinion on hearing the evidence, ought at
least to be abolished. The present working
of the law, as, for instance, in the Polk case
in Tennessee, results in excluding all intcll-
gent and educated men from iurios, and fill
ing the boxes with uneducated, ignorant
men, who doze through tho long trials with
out tho slightest comprehension OF the
law or the bearing of the testimony
on the case before them. Such juries
generally have one or more naturally shrewd
meg iliteratc perhaps, who, having force Of
character and what is vulgarly denominatcd
"chcek," mako up their own opinion of the
verdict and bully or persuade the others
into their way of thinking. 1t would
answer the ends of justice and the execution
of the law quite as well to try cases by lot as
by iuries composed Of such material There
is another matter which the trainers Of
changes in the jury laws should not be un-
mindful of, and that is, the treatment due to
intelligent and reputable citlzons (for no
others should be chosen after they have
been selected. The jury composes part of
the court--as much part of the court for the
! time being as the judge on the bench /;
so also are lawyers who practice at the bar q
part of tho court They are officers Of the
court, who are as amenable to any infracton
of tho rules us the jurors, Bat the treat
ment of the two classes by many of the
Judges is very different Tho absence of u
few minutes from the meeting of court is vsi'
ted on one by a fine, whilo the other fre
quently keeps tho whole court waiting for
hours, and is scarcely ever fined or even
reprimanded. The Judge is frequently far
from being punctual;' but he assumes that he |

question, after advising a course something

is not unlikely that a man who has drank

goes to sleep with his mouth open, lies un-

An Actunl rhrent Of cholern.

Dispatches received last evening by cable
from London bring information that several
vessels have cleared from Liverpool for New
York and New England with cargocs of rags
collected in Egypt, whore cholera is and for
some time past has been epidemic.
1t is useless now to waste thought upon tho
criminal cupidity of the men who could, for
the small profit to bc derived from tho sale Of
these cargoes, imporil this people by direct
ing thithcr the seeds of disease which past
| experience here and present terror abroad
has shown to be one of the most wrctched
and deadly that ever visited the race The
rags, or to so hedge them about with quar-
antinc restrictions rs to destroy their dan
gorous qualities. This duty will lie with
| municipal health authorities and tho Treas
| ury department, and they cannot too clearly
be made to understand that with them will
rest the responsi bility for any evil that may
ensue.
| That the danger may be we'll understood it
should be stated that the custom is, in eastern
countries, where person dies of cholera or
| plague, to dispose of his effects, including his
clothing, and especially the fabrics that we're
about him during his illness, in order not
only to realize money for tho survivors or
those in charge, but to be rid of the vehicles of
infection which these fabrics become. Thus a
| place in which cholera or plaguesprevails is
certain to export rags in large quantities; and
this being the case no such materials are
allowed to enter any quarantined port where
their point of shipment is known. The
certainty with which the disease is conveyed
by textile materials has been so often and
so fearGuly demonstrated that to permit the
passage of even suspected goods of that kind
is to commit q crime The shippers
of these rags seem to have been we'll enough
aware of this and to have prepared against
quarantine at New York by recleariug al
Liverpool under new papers, which make nc
mention of the points at which their cargoe:
were collected. BY singular and wicked de
feet in the Neutrality-suspicious. it was fount
impossible to detan the vessels there, or t.
compel the disinfection of their cargoes before
they sailed.
The case is one that may perhaps call fo
the exercise of little extraordinary power
by the custom and the health officials; bu
it is also one where hesitation to exercise ex
traordinary power to any necessary degre,
would be wholly inexcusable. The law o
1873 authorizes the officials TO prevent the
landing of infected goods, and this authority
must in these cases be widely used. Il
the rags are unloaded to lighter
in an open bay while still baled, AM
then taken directly to mill and at once pu
into the lime watts, the danger will be slight
but if they are allowed to come in withou
quarantine, and remain upon the wharves o
in warehouses; there is no power that can pre-
vent the appearance and spread of the infeC
ton.
In this case tho "ounce of prevention
would be worth more than million pound
of cure.

RIVER AND HARBoR IMPROVE
MENTS.

Report OF the Engineer In Charge OF the
Work in Virginia and the CBrolinas.
Capt. Mercer corps of engineers, United
States army, in charge of the river and har-
Dor improvements in Virginia aud the Caro-
linas, has submitted to Gen. Wright his
annual report of the operations in that dis
trict during the last fiscal year. From the
report it appears that improvements were
mado of the harbor at Norfolk and its ap-
proachcs, Archcrs Hope river, Va, Black
water river Va, North Landing river, Va.
and N. c., Meberrin river N. G., Currituck
sound COanjock bay, and North River bar, n.

harbOr, S. G., Waccaman river, S. g., Great
Pee Dec river, S. c., Santee river. S. c.. Wa
Wateree river S. G., and Ncuse river N. G..
During the year $2Oli was expended,
and Si15,200 is the estimated sum required
for a continuation of the work during the
next fiscal year. Owing to the crowded con-
ditiOn of the harbor at Norfolk, demand
has been made for removal of the naval au-
chorage, aud the dredging of the Berkeley
flats, but the appropriation is insufficient for
the purpose. At Beaufort the operations
were confined to the construction of ietties,
and ON the Cape Fear river near Whining
ton, to the removal of snag5 and overhanging
treOs. At Georgetown harbor, S. G., no work
was undertaken because of the inadequacy Of
the appropriation.
