to the scenes of suffering and misery during the
first four days of the earthquake at Charleston,
described the misery touching in the extreme
The captain said that but one half of the partic-
ulars had been told. The general account had
been published, but it did not state the ways in
which the people suffer- especially that the earth
quake struck at all, rich and poor alike. Peo-
pie well-to-do, having plenty of stores and sup
plies on hand, were cut off from their kitchens

Into the dwelling houses, hence there were deli

deadly night air. For the four days the Della
ware lay in the harbor, her captain had his ship
full of sufferers every night. He fed all he could
in the daytime The great need now was money
to buy supplies of food.

Secretary of the Navy had notified them that
there was large amount of condemned canvas

A SAD CONDITION.

1t may be doubted if anything in the con-
ditisn of any class of people in modern times
is more pitiable than that of the Irish in the
islands on the west coast. For months they
have been almost at the point of starvation,
living on sea wead and seed potatoes, their
fisheries failing. their nets and boats sold for
temporary supplies, no markets or towns of
any size or resources within thirty miles,
and no means now to bring anything if
markets were nearer. Their sufferings are so
isolated and remote that they have little
chance of getting to the knowledge of the
public, which rarely fails to help such utter
distress. their islands areso stormy and fenced
so constantly by breakers and impossible
turbulence of the sea, that even the visits of
those who go purposely to their relief are
often delayed or deferred altogether. 1t is
most lamentable condition and seems to be
getting worse. A very recent cable dispatch
says that the English Government lent to
Mr.. luke, one of the relieving agents of the
Cable News Association, a gunboat for the
express purpose of carrying provisions to the
starving islanders, but the storms were so
furious and incessant as to prevent any ap-
proach to the land, and the vessel was forced
to return without doing anything Of its
b nevolent mission. OF course the same
storms that excluded relief from the suffer-
ing multiplied their distress, and made, as
we have said, probably the most pitiable case
ever known in any civilized land where there
was no blame or failure of the victims.

THE North China Daily News of the Tth
January winds up long article on the Min
listers to China with the following spiteful
language: "Italy may legitimstely make
efforts to export her surplus macaroni, and
little Belgium may use all her national infiu-
ence to promote the sale of window glass:
but to see the two great Republics on either
side of the Atlanti, and the great military
empire of Europe reduced to the role of men,
dicants whining for Chinese bounty, their
whole force concentrated on extorting con-
tracts for war material and steel rails, is not
fattering to our very superior civilization"
This appears in an English paper. 1t is
quite notorious that from time immemorisl
the chief business of the English represent
atives in the East has been to foster and for
ward English trade. With pretense of dig
nifty there has been a constant effort to pro-
cure material advantages. 1t is plain that
the influence OF Colonel DENLY, our new
Minister, has been felt in China. He has
given an impetus to trade that all the world
recognizes. He has done nothing undigni-
fed, and he has made no underhand repre-
sensations to the Chinese Government. But
he fully underst lnds that American citizens
entitled to his personal and private as
81, lance by way of introduction and favor
able N ention of them, when they undertake
to introduce in China the material progress
which has illustrated the United States. He
will not regret the slurs of envious partisans
of other nationalities if he can materially
increase the trade and commerce of his coun-
try. Such attacks as the above, which are
utterly untrue in their spirit, and are true
only in this, that in an honorable, open and
fair manner Colonel DENLY has lent his in
fiuence in favor of his own countrymen, will
rebound to his popularity at home. As long
as in a digni6ed and fair manner he seeks
to promote the welfare of his countrymen,
the people OF this State and of the Union
and the administration will support him.
