Tortured by the Black Flag.
London Standard.

It fares badly with any Europeans who have the misfortune to fall into the hands of the Black Flags, to judge by the treat ment two soldiers belonging to the foreign legion on service in Tonquin met with These men, it appears, left their regi- ment, prompted by love of adventure, and went forth alone along the banks of the Red river. For weeks no misch ance befell them but on a certain day they came across party of Black Flags, and were made prisoners. Their csptors, hoping to glean some useful inform Ation from the Europeans, did not pu, them to death immediately in fact, they were as- sured that their lives would be spared on condition that they would instruc, the Black Flags how to make cartridges This condition, however, it was n. aterially impossible for the soldiers to comply with, and, though aware that their lives depended on their answer, they could only protest their uttes ignorance of every thing connected with the manufacture of cartridges. One of them was iheveupon slain before the eyes of his comrade, his execution being accompanied by horrible cruelty, and the survivor was told that il. he persisted in his refusal to osey orders he would suffer the same fate as his com panion. Before, however, having his ears, nose, and hands cut of, he obtained permission to write few lines, and the promise was given him that his letter should be forwarded to its destination, at Hing Hoa, after his death. This promise vas kept, sentence being added in Chinese to his unfinished letter saying that he had died, and under what cir cumstauceg

dreds of Cinnamon are suddenly
warned to leave-driven from town
their homes burnt and a whole
quarter OF the city depopulated by
the exodus. Yet no voice IS raised
in protest but thousand in extenu-
alton Neither, however, is this a
party affair, and even the African
seems in no respect interested in the
Cinnamon with whom we would ex-
pect him to make common cause.
Congress must take effectual meas
ures for the protection of these peo-
pie who have found anything but "a
home for the oppressed" among us, or
a new crusade will some day be start
ed, and every lecture room will re-
echo the woes of the poor China
man. Mr.. Carlisle is undoubtedly
the foremost man of his party, but
his sentiments on this question Will
yet admit of change, and his oDpon-
ents are equally uncertain.

More Compliments.

n. o. Times-Democrat.
The result of the Atlanta election on
the liquor question is winning the south
many very complimentary notices from
the northern press; and papers which
formerly denounced this section and de-
clared that there was nothing good to be
found in it, seem to suddenly have con-
ceived far more favorable view, and to
regard it as quite moral and virtuous.
The Chicago Times gives us credit for
an immense amount of virtue, more al
most than our modesty has claimed, and
detects remarkable resemblance be-
tween the people of the south and those
Of New England, resemblance much
closer than that between the inhabitants
of any other sections of the country.
Atheism, ilidelity, agnosticism and
every other form of religious unbelief
have exerted far less influence in the
south, it says, than in any portion of the
north, even in New England churches
are numerous here and well attended !;
and it calls attention to the fact that
during the war religious exercises were
much better observed in the confeder-
ate than in the union army, while only
in Scotland is family worship so general
as in the rural districts of the south.
In the matter of drinking also-a
charge which some of the sectional pa
/ pers of the north have been wont to
bring against us-the Times finds the
southern people better than those of
nearly any section of the country, drink
ing saloons being few and poorly patron
lied, and it winds up with the assertion
that ''on most religious, moral and social
questions the people of New England
and those of the south are much nearer
together than many suppose"
The south is receiving SO many com
pliments just now for industry, energy
enterprise and morality that such favor
bic words as these do not call forth The
same acutely pleasurable emotions thai
they would have done few years ago
when it was the custom to abuse anC
ibe at it. We give them only as evi
dence of the revolution in sentiment
spreading through the north. A few
years ago there was nothing too black tt
say of US; now we get compliment
every day. Tt is needless to say thai
there has been no change in the south
ern people in this time; it is only thai
the sectional prejudices which blinded
the eyes of our friends across the line t
the true character of the south, are dis
appearing. Thoy were blind before
they can see now.

PARTIES AND POLITICS.

Speaker Carlisle's address on TAX
ing the chair may be taken as the
key note to which democrats will
march during the present session.
There will be as little of party and
partisan methods as may be in the
legislation of this session, and both
parties have had enough of the
trumped up issues which have led
us astray since the war. The silver
bill has never been partisan meas
ure and its friends and enemies will
be divided on geographical rather
than political lines The revision
of the tariff is one of the most i'm
portant questions demanding atten-
ton from our legislators, and on this
the triumphant reelection of Mr..
Carlisle already prefigures a victory
for the right. On this and in any
contemplated legislation on the cur
rency, neither party can stand with
closed ranks, and on all these vexed
questions the country is undoubted-
ly with Mr.. Carlisle and the maiori-
ty.
But the presidential succession
should be definitely settled in some
way, although we have never sym
pathised with those who saw blood
in the moon even if matters cane to
the worst. Our reverence for law
and order is too nearly part of our
being; our recent experience of civil
war was so horrible that our people
will not indulge in such luxuries
again for many years. We have
acquired too much respect for each
other ST. De rash
Bat the treatment received by the
Chinese in the west win necessarily

Why the west should feel such hor-
ror at Contact with Asiatic civiliza-
ton" so soon after forcing us to en-
dure that of Africa will be a matter
of speculation to political economists
hereafter, but does not affect us
very nearly now. In a southern
town some weeks ago a boarding
school for colored pupils was burn
ed at night, and the citizens took
teachers and students into their
homes for protection till next day,
when they were told to shift for
themselves. Many voices are raised
in holy horror in the north because
such hospitality was not of longer
continuance. But at Tacoma, hun

Our two metropolitan dailies are
again at variance, and, this time we
think the Herald undoubtedly wrong.
The Times Union thinks "only edu
cation and selfdiscipline can pre-
pare readers for the cheerful accept
ance Of its doctrines" and thcreat
the Herald WAKES wroth. Now SO
thought the old Times, aud in this
belief found reason for many wick
Cd thrasta at our people; the Times
Union likewise has shown It's enmity
to much that is accepted as gospel
in Florida without making any Sc
rious breach in the ranks of the
faithful, and when its editor tried
his powers on the state convention
at Pensacola there ensued no very
alarming consequences. When a
little boy outgrows his clothes he
does not injure his friends, and when
the frog exploded in trying to be,
come an OK the pieces were proba
bly, buried with dry eyes. SO Oh
those of us who have never prayed
for king, there rests no obligation
to do homage either to Log or Crane
and we wait patiently till our hell

benefitaccordingly. We have changed
eur service to these points from the
mail 10 Wells, Fargo & Co. Our
friends in the localities named should
exert themselves to see that the cir
culation OF this journal, already large
there, is greatly increased. In addi-
tion to the advocacy OF genuine dem
ocratic ideas, the HERALD will be de-
voted with great energy and singleness
of purpose to the interests OF Southern
California. The California Southern
proposes to run its trains to Cotton at
the rate OF thirty-ive miles an hour,
SO that breakfast will scarcely be over
before the HERALD will lie smoking
hot mt the board. 1t should be borne
in mind that this will be fully two
days, in many cases, before the San
Francisco papers can arrive at the
points named and, under the most
favorable circumstances, the journals
OF the Golden Gate will be thirty odd
hours behind those OF Los Angeles.
This ought to result in genuine

A SALE STOPPED
By "A Delicate Point tn Railroad

NEw York, November 30.-It is
stated on good authority that the sale OF
the unfinished Oregon and California
railroad to the Central Pacific has not
been completed. Negotiations had been
reached and arrangements made to issue
$40, 600, 600 of Central Pacific bonds
bearing 3 per cent. interest for three
years and per cent. thereafter, viii.
which to take up all OF the Oregon and
California bonds and leave the
surplus to complete the road to
make connection with the Central
Pacific, to build from Corvallis to the
junction with the Oregon West Side
Line, and relay the Oregon & Califor-
MIA Road with steel rails. Now London
lawyers have raised the question; first,
whether the Central Pacific under its
charter can become the owner OF the Or
egon 4 California Road; and, secondly,
if the United States governments lien
on the main line of the Central Pacific
would not attach to and cover the Ore
gon 4 California road, ii it was bought
by the Central Pacific.
