The North China Herald describes
the following scene. which recently was
enacted N one of the courts: In case
in which Chinese auct oneer was sued
by the gas company for damages which
had been caused owing to the sale and
removal Of gas fittings. whereby alarge
quantity OF gas was wasted. the mag
istrate ordered the defendant to pay
fifteen dollars. The auctioneer in
weighed against the sentence with much
heat for some me. and then pulled q
roll OF dollars from his pockets and
banged them down three or four at :
time on the table nearly under his Wor-
sh p's nose. Mr.. Huang's face grew
purple at this insult He lifted heavy
wooden implement from the table. and
aimed blow with II at the audacious
auctioneer's fingers. which would have
made them smart for many long day
IL II had only hit him. Failing IN this
mode Of punishment, however. his Wor-
ship directed the runners to vndicate
the majesty Of the law in more rcgu-
lar way. Forcing the luckless auc-

tion.
II any evidence was needed that the
Republican party is hopelcssly rent, the
quarrel between Senators Morrill, and
Aldrich on one side and Sherman on
the other supplies il. 1t has been the
boast Of the Republican organs that
the party was homogeneous on all sub
jects. That its parts were ccmented by
q common policy covering all questions
OF public interest has been the claim
most dwclt on BY the advocates OF Re-
publican supremacy. North. South.

sisted that there was but one opinion
among those Of the Republican faith.
aud upon that false claim more than
any other has been predicatcd the ar
ruments in favor Of continuing that
party in power.
II now transpires that there IL no
common sentiment among the Rcpub-
licans on any important question. Upon
the tariff the opinions Of the leading
partisans are widely divergent In
deed. so bitter has the antagonism be-
come. that they can no longer trust
themselves together in the ordinary
affairs Of life. The quarrel between
Morrill, and sherman sharply illustrates
this. During recent COME ence the

mittee demanded that the tariff rates

ton made in pursuance OF the tarin
commissions recommendation. be re-
stored To this MIR. Sherman objected.
and the controversy that followed grew

II the Republican party had contin-
ued in power such disruption would
not have occurred. The cohesive in
fiuence Of plumber would have held the
discordant elements together while
longer. and Sherman and his colleagues
would have continued to fraternizc IN
the hope that individual or party gain
might follow the hypocrisy. But there
Il now no magnet 10 draw these ele-
ments together. and the example which
the leading men have set will be fol.
lowed BY others until the fragments Of
the grand old party" arc scattered
about in every direction. There i no
unity. no harmony aud no hope. From
this time hence il will be q scamper for
the crumbs. and in the disgraceful
wrangle that may be expected, even
the remnants Of Republicanism will dis
