CHINESE GORDONS M0VEMEyTs.

The rumor that Chinese Gordon had been
compelled TO resign his position in the British
Army has been speedily contradicted. 1t would
have been highly discreditable to the military
authorities if they had forced him to take that
stop in consequence of their refusal to grant him
permission 10 engage i'll new undertaking in
benighted lands. Having won his great cam
paign in the Middle Kingdom as a subaltcrn of
the Engineers, he has now reached the rank of
Major General in Her Maiesty's service. AS the

There is to be another Sunday exhibition in
the Academy of Design, notwithstanding the
opposition of some Ofits managers. The Water
Color Society has decided to follow the example
of the BarthOldi Loan Exhibition by keeping
open seven days of the week. The popularity
of the first effort in this direction has no doubt
led to the second.

What do onr Prohibition friends think of the
high license bill now pending in the Legislatnrei
1t does not Prohibition but it is most decidedly
IN the interest of temperance And 50 long as pro-
hbtion is unattainabe, is it not the part of wisdom
to seek the accomplishment of the attainable in the
directiOni Half the reform loaf is better
than no bread
Those Democrats in Congress who have introduced
bills repealing he Civil Service law evidently are
determined that their prospects in their party shall
not be Pendletonized if they can help it
Mr.. Chamberlain seems to have made use of very
clumsy phrases in his speech at Newcastle. He re-
marked that the duty OF the Government respecting
Egypt was clear. England could not abandon Egypt
to anarchy, and on the other hand the Government
must fulfil It's pledges We would say that, Instead
OF making that duty clear, he has only rendered it
unintelligible. The Government cannot fulfil its
pledges unless it orders the garrison to retire and
leaves the Egyptians to stew in their own juice"
as Mr.. Courtney remarked some time ago. Ii will
have to choose between renouncing its pledges and
abandoning Egypt. 1t cannot retain control of the
country for an indefinite period and the same
time keep faith with the Khedive and with Europe.
New-York tribune., 1884-01-17

A resolution providing for the abandonment
of the weekly recess was lost in the Assembly
yesterday. Our Legislators would seem to have
an undue appreciation OF the gospel of
relaxation

The report Of the leg islative committee tha
has been investigating the question of riparian
rights in NewJersey presents some startling
facts 1t asserts that the State, for sum of
S134, 200, has granted to two corporations
lands now valued at $14,6OO,OOO. 1t is certain
that laws which permit such injustice as is al
legged in this report arc in sad need of change.

If the House does its duty the electoral count
bill passed by the Senate yesterday will be-
come law in time to govern any dispute that
may arise out of the next Presidential election.
This is an important question, action upon
which has been too long delayed. Mr.. Hoar's
measure is q good one, and should meet with
favorable consideration in the House.
New-York tribune., 1884-01-17

The immigration returns for the month of
December from the various customs districts
show only ght falling of as compared with
the same month in 1882. The recent talk in
foreign newspapers of immigrants returning
home dissatisfied apparently does not have
much effect. The decrease of 152, 900 in the
number of immigrants who arrived in this
country last year, as compared with the prev
ious year, was not so much due to disappoint-
ments here as to q changed condition of atfairs
abroad

The New Gold Mines.

John II. Brown, who has just arrived
at the CGur d Alene mines. says that at
present they are inaccessible, except to
pedestrians, and even then the trip is
one fraught with suffering and danger,
tho snow being very deep on the ranges
There are now about five hundred men
at Heron Siding waiting an opportunity
to go into the mines. There are also a
good many men at Rathdrum and at one
or two other points. from which it il
expected that trails will be opened.
About two hundred men are wintering
in the camp. Every article Of food is
high, flour and bacon selling at almost
any price that may he asked, and other
things in proportion. =
The twenty-acre-claim rule has been
broken up, and now all that one claimant
is allowed is one hundred foot strip,
extending across the gulch, which is
about five hundred yards wide. The
ground is so flat 1.-THE fall being from only
one to one and half inches to the rod
that sluicing is impracticable.
Mr.. Brown regards the Heron Siding
trail as very dangerous one for stampe-
ders to attempt to follow, at least until
the snow is all gone and the trail is
thoroughly opened. Sh rtly after he
left the mines there was :: ,arty Of Boze-
man men reached camp after being over
twenty days on their wav from Heron
so-called distanc nj twenty-six miles.
About month a.. 4 man who was out
cutting trail WA, called t. from across
the river by a tattered and forlorn look
ing individual, who begged for some
thing to eat. He had been nearly two
weeks in coming from Heron Siding, and
was nearly famished, having been lost
from his party for nearly week, and
having no provisions he almost starved.
He was taken in and cared for and the
next day the rest Of his party got IN,
they too having been wandering around
and having run out Of gr,b.-hdepe,.d-
