HARD TIMES IN CHINA.
Business Stagnant and People starving
in Many Districts.

III many DistrfCtss
Several districts in China are reported
to be sadly in need of aid from the Gov
ernment. Food is high and employment
scarce. The Straits Independent bewails
the state of trade at Penang, which, it
says, is as bad as it can possibly be, so that
on all quarters there is a great deal of suf-
fering and want 1t fails, however, to see
in what way or from what direction relief
is to come. Things must indeed be very
bad when, within the last few months,
more than thirty tailors, shoemakers and
eating-house keepers have shut up their
establishments in one single street. Sew
eral timber merchants who had hitherto
carried on a fourishing trade, have been
obliged to close their yards and dismiss
their employees, solely because they could
not keep up any longer, there being now
no demand for timber for building pur
poses.
The Shh Pao says: Recently the city
(Tientsin) has been crowded with poor and
starving people from the country places.
The sight of them would draw forth pity
from any one who has seen them. Some
of these poor people are selling their own
flesh and blood to save them from starva-
ton. The other day a man and his wife
were leading through the streets two beau
tiful little girls of about and years old
to sell to the people for slaves; their faces
showed the want of nourishing food, and
they were wailing and begging for some
thing to appease their hunger, and finally
they were sold to brothel-keeper for a
mere pittance. May this pitiable instance
be brought to the notice of the local chari-
table institutions, and it is to be hoped
that some means may be devised to prevent
innocent young children from falling into
the hands of those who will make i'll use
of them"

DEATH OF DIR. JONES.

Rev. 7. NJ. Jones, 3D., President
of the Greensboro Female College
died Monday afternoon, in the seventy
first year of his age. He was confined
to his bed last Friday and steadily
grew worse.
He was christian gentleman.
Since 1854 he has been at the head OF
a school which has graduated thou
sands of the lnoblest women in ou1
land. He has done a grand work
which will live after him. The mar
BILE monument, as it stands to mark
his last resting place, will not be SC
beautiful in its snowy whiteness nor SC
lasting as the impress of noble virtue
and high purpose which he stamped
upon the hearts and minds of the
women of North Carolina.
Such life is perennial in its useful.
ness and always sweet to think of.

While we believe it is poor policy for
a party organ to espouse the cause Of
any one candidate to the prejudice Of
others, and while we have thought and
still think that such an organ should
hold itself in readiness to support the
nominee of the party, and therefore
have endeavored to abstain from adj
vocating any one candidate in the
congressional race, yet we want to
say that it would afford THE SENTI-
MEL genuine pleasure for the Demo-
Gratis of the fifth district to recognize
the just claims Of Forsyth county, and
give the nomination to Hon. j. G.
Buxton, whose reputation for ability,
worth, and loyalty to Democratic
principles is beyond question and too

MR.. EWART,S OPPOSITION,

In throwing off the radical yoke
and advocating what is fair and right
Mr.. Ewart come nearer being an hon.
est man and patriot than any Re
publican who has ever represented a
North Carolina district in Congress
His courage and his manliness in the
face of his party's frowns are almost
equal to that of noble Judge Brooks
who dared Holden's wrath in releas
ing DIR. Roam and others in the dark
reconstruction days.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Ewart can dc
little. Tom Reed and his fellow.
criminals have decided to force an
election law on the South and thew
have the power to succeed. Writing
along this line. the Baltimore Sun
well says: "What they want to &C.
complish is to legislate themselves into
power permanently or for many years
to come, and by binding their oppo-
nents hand and foot save themselves
from the overthrow which they see is
otherwise inevitable To accomplish
this it is painfully evident that some
OF them at least would even go as far
as Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, declared
himself willing to go in the debate on
Saturday, when he said he would
flavor the protection of every ballot
by killing bullet" In other words,
we suppose that if the Democratic
majority in the South could not be
gotten rid of in any other way, Mr..
Henderson would favor shooting the
surplus Democrats in order to pre-
vent their competing with Republican
votes.
Il may be possible to put this bill
through Congress, and it may be pos
sible under it to "kill" Democratic
votes in one way or another, but Mr..
Henderson and his friends may rely
on it that they are but digging their
OWL political graves with the very
Instrument with which they hope to
bury their enemies. The enfranchise-
ment of the freedmen and the recon-
struction legislation that followed the
cscse of the war were believed by their
Inventors to guarantee Republican SUI
premacy in the South for many years
TO come, but their sole result was to
make the South solid against all their
effort, to add to Democratic repre-
sentation in Congress, and to strength
en- that party Throughout the whole
country. The present measure will
have the same history and will bear
the same fruit S

AFIELD DAY IN THE HOUSE.
Mr.. Ewart's Oposition to the Federal Elec-
ton Law

Mr.. EWart's Oposltlon to the FEDERAL hlec-
Last Saturday was day of excl
ting debate In Washington. The
House went into Committee of the
Whole, (Mr. Peters, of Kansas, in the
chair on the federal election bill.
Mr.. McAdoo, of New Jersey, took
the floor and made a vigorous speech
in opposition to the bill. He based
his opposition on the principle of
home rule and the right of the peo-
pie to control their own affairs with
out federal interference. He warned
the Republicans to beware of the ex-
perience of Walpole when Prime Min
lister of England Storm after storm
of protest had been made against the
excise bill which was pending in Par
lament, but the minister, strong in his
belief that he could withstand the peo-
pie, declared he would not give way to
the beggars. But finally the wave of
indignation grew SO great that the
people besieged Parliament itself, ex-
claiming Liberty! No excise!' And
finally Walpole was forced to give up
the bill, and, to save his own life, go
out disguised in a cloak. shouting
elderly! liberty! no excisev'
He begged the Republicans, he alb
jured them by their own sense of man
illness, to abandon the bill before the
storm went up of Liberty! No inter-
ference with elections"
Mr.. Ewart, of North Carolina, Gre
publican opposed the passage of the
bill. He was aware of the penalty he
should pay. Unfortunately, politics
had come to such pass that under
the rule King Caucus, men would
vote for measures that deep down in
their hearts they did not believe in.
They knew deep down in their hearts
that this was as damnable and vicious
piece of legislation as ever was put
on the statute books. AS to the me-
gro's political rights, speaking for his
own State, he unhesitatingly asserted
that no Republican in the State,
black or white, was prevented from
casting his vote. The elections there
were absolutely fair. There were men
in the South who hated the negroes
an abused them. Sometimes they
were punished aud sometimes not.
But the entire people of the South
should not be blamed for the acts Of a
few lawless men.
He was sick and tired of the senti-
mental talk of the black problem. It
was delusion to suppose the negro
was voting the Republican ticket
solidly. He was doing nothing Of the
kind. Many of them were voting the
Democratic ticket, and it was getting
more and more difficult every year for
the Republican party to control the
negro. As to the talk of no Republi-
cans coming up here from the South,
why North Carolina sent as many
Republicans here as the great State
Of Indiana. Laughter.
