 CANTON, China, Jan. IT, 1884. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Yesterday sallied forth as per agreement the subject of Chinese immigration. I was armed with note frem the Hoppo, or Chi nese superintendent of customs, to the effect that he had delegated the sole authority for the issuance of passports to Mir. Chik-Pow- Shu, so that if the latter attempted to evade the responsibility would 'havs him foul, 7" as the wicked street gamin in large American accompanied by MT. Chin, interpreter for Mir.

We procured a couple of Sedan chairs aud started of in good style, though could but think that in point of real, out-and-eut pageantry was the flag end of the proces- sion. My companion was arrased in all the glory of silks and satins, and hourished by his side aspacious bag, in which were his calling cards, black-lettered slips of red pa- per about three inches wide by seven long, This bag was hung on hook at the back of the chair while we were riding.
 Three coolies picked up each chair, and were soon grunting and grooming pitsously as they hurried along at a good swinging pace over. the north granite bridge. leading from the Shamesn into the native city. The narrow streets of Canton, always crowded with pedestrians, seemed specially full on this afternoon, and soon we leaRaed the cause of it. Groups of mon and boys were gathered everywhere about bulletins, which they perused with gaping mouths and grins on their countenances. At many points it was well-nigh impossible for the coolies to get through the crowds, and I did not feel altogether satisfied as to the prudence of se- lecting such an afternoon for the trip. was too proud, however, to lower the curtain of my chair windows. Curious to learn what was the cause of the general satisfaction, asked for a translation of the placards. and Mir.

 Congressman Wise of Virginia has already come to the conclusion that it is not best to anger his colored friends. He has made an explanation, part of which is as follows: Mir. Sherman asked nae if the negroes in Virginia insisted on social equality. re- piled that they did not expect or demand it. I said believed the negro race was the gem tlest, most affectionate and least obtrusive race on earth, and that social conditions were such that they make no effort to obtain social equality and are content, Fer example, said I, a colored member of tts legislature came to see me about politics. He went to the kitchen and saw him there. The pers on alluded to is one whose mother is in my em- ploy. He is 8 warm friend of mine, and most worthy man. I merely mention this to show that colored people in such positions are less exacting of such recognition than white people similarly situated would. said moment later that the social problem was entirely distinct from politices; that man was not necessari- ly on terms of social intimacy with all his political associates; and, by way of illustra- tion, remarked ''that supposed MT. Tilden did not invite all the wharf rats who voted the Democratic ticket in New York to dine with him.. This has been perverted as a reflection on the colored people. Fortu- nately thousands of colored people in Vir- ginia know me and that have always been kind, considerate and deferential to them, both personally and officially, wherever we were thrown together, as I will always en- deavor to be, not only from duty, but from gratitude. A year or two since the cry was raised. to influence the oolored vote, that my father hanged John Brown. This is akin to it. am sorry my coIored friends gave it such attention.

During ten months of last year nearly two hundred and fifty thousand pounds of opium was imported into this country, against two hundred thousand pounds for the corre- spending period in the previous year. As there has been no increased demand for the medical use of the drug and as the direct use of opium has rot increased so rapidly as the increased importation would indicate, the Albany Journal believes that the opium is used in the manufacture of cigarettes, and the great increase of cigarette smoking &C., counts for the larger demand for the poison ous drug.

The lower branch of the New Jersey legis- lature has destroyed the efficacy of the Civil Rights bill passed by the senate several weeks ago, by striking out the specification of hotels, restaurants and theaters as places in which colored persons should enjoy the same privileges as white persons, and by re- ducing the penalties for violation of the law to such small sums that colored person would hardly take the trouble to bring suit for them.

Some queer letters are received at the pen sion office in Washington The commis- sionsr was somewhat surprised the other day to receive letter from an ex-soldier, who had discovered an entirely new ground for relief. He stated that he had no wounds and was not disabled by disease. He needed money, however. He wrote that he had been in the Union army and was fighting in the ranks at the battle of Antistam. Early in the engagement he had lost his coat vest, and one suspender. .ssThe other suspender," he wrote, twas my only stay and support. Imagine my dismay when bullet came along and, slightly scorching my skin as it passed, cut that last precious suspender in two. There stood in the presence of many thousands of men. My emotions can- not be described You, Mir. Commissioners, can imagine them. am certainly entitled ts a pension for the wounds given my feel inos on that occasion. Possibly you may not decide that a large pension should be given me, but at least ought to have enough to keep me in strong, reliable suspenders all my life" This man certainly ought to have e small pension.
 Financial considerations alone, it is said, prevent the immediate adoption of 8 maga- zine, or repeating rife, as the general arma- ment of the infantry Of the German army. Not only would the direct expense of provid- ing the new weapons be very great, but the cartridges now used with the Mauser, of which immense supplies are stored in the German fortresses and arsenals, would be rendered useless. as. owing to certain weak points in their manufacture, they could not be safely fired from a magazine rife. How enormous must be the amount of ammunition which would have to be replaced may be de- duced from the fact that, according to lately

Mr.. BookwnTER, Of Ohio, having been
interviewed by reporter for the Wash
ington Post, informed the reporter that
"the farmers and planters in this country
pay to-day between three hundred and i've
hundred millions Of dollars more to pro-
duce their crops than do other nations to
produce crops Of the same value" This
is pretty good proof that wages are better
in this country than elsewhere. Again we
quote Mr.. BooKwALTER:
"Exactly how the cost Of production Is
to be reduced Is problem TO be solved.
Whether IL is to be in lower price paid
for machinery, food, clothing, or labor, |
cannot say, but 1t Is a matter that will have

rnaae shnmate,s Removal.


Was the Governors assent necessary TO
1.-THE removal OF Judge SHUMATE! III 'he
Judge had been impeached by the House OF
Delegates and tried by the Senate, nobody
would think OF saying that the Governors
assent Yves required because the same sec
ton which confers upon the House OF
Delegates the power TO impeach judges,
and the Senate the power to try judges,
gives the same bodies the like powers as
to the Governor. OF course, as his assent
Is not necessary to his own removal by I'M
peachment it IS not necessary to the re-
moval Of a Judge by that method.
But Judge SHUMATE was removed under
section % Of Article VI, which reads as
follows:
"Judges may be removed from office by
| n concurrent vote OF both houses oil the
General Assembly"
There Is nothing said about the Gov
ernor in that section, but it is claimed that
his assent must be had because the Constr
tuition provides that "eyery bill which
shall have passed the Senate and House OF
Delegates. and every resolution requiring
the assent Of both branches OF the General
! Assembly shall, before it becomes a law,
be presented to the Governor for his APP
prevail" Now. let us see bow this Is
The Constitution OF the United States pro-
yides that "eUery bill which shall have
passed the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives " shall be presented to the Pre-
sident OF the United States. II goes fur
Their: IL provides that "every order,
resolution. or UOte" to which the con-
currence OF the Senate and House OF Rep
resentatives may he necessary Except on
question of adjournment shall be pre-
scented to the President and cannot take
effect without his approval.
But the same Constitution also provides
that "the Congress shall propose amend
ments to the Federal Constitution. When
the 18th article of amendments to the Fed
eral Constitution was proposed by Con-
gress the resolution proposing ii was sent
to Mr.. LINCOLN for his approval. He re-
turned 1t TO Congress with the statement
that his assent to the resolution was I'M
necessary Though he had signed it, we
Think. When the resolution proposing
the 14th article OF amendments was adopt
ed by Congress, ANDREW JOHNSON was
President. 1t was not sent to him at all,
we believe. Indeed, nobody holds, so far
as we know, that resolution proposing an
amendment TO the Federal Constitution
has to be submitted to the President for
his approval.
So in the case Of Judge SHUMATE. The
Constitution confers upon the Legislature
the power to remove iudges-not upon the
Legislature and the Governor. 1t follows
that when the Legislature has voted upon
the question and decided it either in the
affirmative or negative the matter is ended.
The work is done.
The Constitution uses the word "yote."
So that there need be no bill or resolution.
The record might read, ''Voted that Judge
SHUMATE he removed" dc.

ARTENUs WARD ExCELLED.-The BOs-

letters from Democratic members of the
Legislatures Of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts,, and Connecticut.
They show that on the tariff question a
majority Of all heard from are for "tarifi
for revenue only" in each State, and an
overwhelming majority favor the MoRRI-
son bill and gradual reduction Of the tariff
taxation.
Just so. But unfortunately the PEOPLE
OF Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and
Massachusetts, are known to be over
whelmingly opposed to "tanff for reye-
nue. only" Perhaps, IL the Democrats OF
the States last named would abandon their

States, not one OF which has voted the

for twenty years. We beg to be excused
