want its people to leave China. The

blessing if large class of its people

keep the Chinese at home and to drive
all the Americans now in China back to
their own country.

THE New York U'orld says Minister
Blount "deeply wounded the patriotic
pride of his own land and offended the
provisional government of Hawaii by
denying 10 it the protection of our flag,
which it had asked and received. On
the contrary, quite the reverse. Mr..
Blount is by no means an admirable
man, as he, professed democrat, pig
con holed resolution in Congress, lest
it might embarrass republican admin
istration; but his action in Honolulu,
so far at least, has deeply wounded the
patriotic pride" of no right thinking
man in this country; and it is absurd to
talk of offending q few disnaturalized
American adventures who compose
the so. called provisional government OF
Hawaii.

EXCEPTION HAS been taken by norlh-
ern sectional republicans to the recent
remark of a southern man to the, effect
that it would be better for the South TO
have southern men appointed consuls at
important foreign ports than to nave
representatives in the cabinet. But That
the writer referred to is correct is PLAN
to every unpreiudiced man familiar
with the facts of the case. No body
can affirm that the South was benefited
by Messrs. Bayard, Lamar and Garland,
nor will be by Messrs. Smith, Carlisle
and Herbert; but that she has been Sc
riously hurt by the partisan, SECTIONAL
prejudiced and malicious northern re-
publican consuls at foreign ports Is a
fact that is generally recognized by all
southern people who have been abroad,
