BAD TINES FOR CHINESE EDITORS.

From The st. James's Gazette.
The Empress TIE HIS; has suppressed all news
papers in China There were fifty-six, though
of these those in foreign hands cannot be
stopped. The imperial decree OF October was
follows: LAS newspapers only serve to excite
the masses to subvert the present order or
things, and the editors concerned come from the
drcSs OF the literary classes, no good can be
served by the continuation OF such dangerous
instruments, and we hereby command the entire
published within the Empire, while the editors
connected with them are to be arrested and
punished with the utmost severity Of the law"
Now. with four or five exceptions. these papers
have been very we'll conducted, and certainly in
some cases Chinese editors may take rank
among quite the best people in China" One
who was merely the editor of a local paper till
then had been tutor to- the children Of Chang
Chih Tung, the one incOrruptible VicerOy Yet
these men. and for no other offence than that of
being newspaper editors, are to be punished
with the utmost severity Of the law and this by
the arbitrary will Of a woman, hated through
out China, who has summarily deposed her
adopted sou and made herself ruler in his place
kang, the modern sage, who has only escaped
beheading through the protection Of an English
man-of-war, begs the English people to take
steps for the protection OF the relatives of one
of these editors. LANG. the Editor of Chinese
Progress" He has himself escaped into hiding
somewhere or other but by Chinese usage all
the relations OF a criminal are reckOned Grim
inals, even to the ninth degree; and Mr. Liangs
foster mother, aunt. uncle, brother and nephew
have been seized by the officials. Mr. Hangs
own whole family fed in the night from their
home across the Pearl River at Canton, before
officials arrived TO seize them though how a
whole clan can succeed in remaining hidden IL
is difficult TO understand, unless under the pro-
lection OF the British flag at Hong Kong His
brother Of course was among the first six lead
ers beheaded at Picking.

Death can certainly be accused of
having been partial to the New Eng
land delegation in Congress, when it
strikes down so close together two
such prominent men as Senator Nor
rill and Representative Dingley. The
funeral of Mr.. Dingley took place to-
day, in the hall of the House of Rep
resentatives, in the presence of al
most the same audience of prominent
officials and persons, who attended
the recent funeral of Senator Morrill,
in the Senate Chamber. Mr.. Dingley
was not an orator, but he was a
statesman of hard, horse sense, and
wide experience, whose advice was al
ways welcome in the highest Republic
can councils, and usually followed.
He knew the tariff as only half a doZ-
en- men have ever known it, and the
present tariff, which bears his name,
is monument to the good use to
which he put his knowledge. A joint
Congressional committee left WASH
ington, after the funeral with the re-
mains, which will be inferred in
Maine.
The first contest in connection with
the treaty OF peace was over the mo-
Jion to consider it with open doors.
There was no doubt of the fate of the
motion at any time, as some of the
strongest opponents of secret execu-
tive sessions had in former contests
specially expected treaties as the one
thing that should be considered Sc
