JUDGING from Bush's daily paper
there is great deal of restlessness
among his sorehead partizans. He
does not like the Cabinet, does not
like some of the foreign representa-
tives, thinks that there is an opium
trust or ring in operation, and
quotes tho price of the article at
$40 tin as conclusive evidence.
Says there are official spies dog
ging the acts of private citizens,
and that an old hack driver, now a
policeman, has laid by $4,000 very
mysteriouslY. Verify, Mr.. Bush and
his partizans are greatly troubled
about the political status, and want
q change, or at least large share
of the "loaves and fishes" He
might be sent to Samoa again, only
that King Malietoa has issued a
proclamation banishing all Ha-
waiians from his realm.

THE CHINESE PIRACY.

The piracy case which we report
ed yesterday in brief notice is of
SO exceptional character that
having since received the Hong
kong Daily Press for the 18th of
December last, with a, very full re
port of the affair, we give the fol-
lowing condensed account of it:
The British steamer Namoa left
Hongkong at 8 A. NJ, Dec. 18th. for
the +" East Ports with a general
cargo, five European and $50 Chi
nese passengers, among whom some
fifty or sixty proved to be we'll
organized band of pirates. Of the
other Cinnamon many were return
ing to their native villages after
working some years in California
or the Straits Settlements, and had
with them their savings, represent
ing in the aggregate very consid-
cradle sum of money. This must
have been known to the organizers
of the gang, who all got on board
as passengers without exciting
suspicion. Indeed so little was
any trouble expected that a
passenger seeing the stand of
arms on the top of the COM
panion-way made some remark
on it to the captain, who replied
with smile, "They are a relic of
the past; years ago we used to
want them, but we don't ever re-
quire them now" An hour later
he was dying in his cabin, shot by
u pirate, and his ship IN pirates
handsl
At about ! P. NJ, after five hours
steaming and from forty to fifty
miles from Hongkons the officers
and white passengers went to
lunch, and it was remembered
afterwards that just then number
OF the Chinese passengers appeared
to be grouping themselves together,
each with a cigar as Git was sup
posed a badge of recognition.
The pirates divided themselves
into four parties, all armed with
revolvers, and attacked slmultan-
eousiy the officers and engineers
