Tha ablest and most forcible statement of the Chinese side of the Chinesa question that has yot beon made comes from a China. man. We hiave before usa littlo pamphlot contalning four letters addressed to the Ban Francisco Argonaut by Kwana Craxo Lixa, n high rank and evidently highly edu. cated Mandarin in that city, Ho deals with tho query, ** Why should tho Chinose go?" in a masterly way, asserting his premises with defiant power, and drawing his con- clusions with irrosistible logic, and clothing the wholo in & literary style that would do erodit to the best English scholars. Kwana Cranag Lixo gives a plump answer to the quostion nt the very outsst. He sayst The cry is bere that the Chinese must {hat ey should ot gos that they canno nutgo.

Ho thon proceeds to demonstrate the truth of his fundsmental proposition in the most remarkable manner. Ilo ‘goes back to the days of Gzxoa Kiax, whon Clina and Eu- rope first becamo acquainted. That great Emperor carried an Imperial army in the cause of Deism, ‘‘or, ns you now call it, Unitarianism,” through idolatrous Russia.

In view of thess conquosts, Kwana Cmana Laxo asks: **If you havae anything in the Listory of your civilization to match tho magnitude 8f thoso expeditions, tho dis. tances thoy traversed, tho grandour of thair mission, and the sublime rostraint they ux- ercised townrd Christian Europe, we China. mon wonld be glad to hearof it.” Whilo China was at the Light of its civilization and power, Enrope was in it decadonoc : In the twelfth century, and as a sien of bis supe- riority, Pope CaLEsTixk' 1L kicked the crown off. e head of the Emperor Mexny VI, Kings then Tived 10 buts, and peasants In hoies in tho ground, where they slept with the pigs.

S RCIAET In alluding the other day to the fact that the King of the Turf, Rarus, had no pedigree worth naming, we incidentaliy romarked that many of the kings among men were of humble origin, Thus, SUAKSPEARE, BURNS, NAroLEON, and 5 thousand other names that have become histone had no proud lincage to boast, But not so wity our distinguished fellow-citizen, “listle" Jiy DoorarrLs, who Is the Bourbon-Communistic candldate for Congress n the First Distrlc He has a pedigres, and a fine one.

Hiy father will be kuown In history as * Tho Com- plete Letter-Writer,” and Jist will be kuown ay his 8on, Attornoy-General Daveys, appenled to from certain Southern districts where Republican meotings have been broken up and dis- pa‘mod by armed miobs of Demoocrats, has dircoted the attontion of the District Attor- neys to the following saction of the Revised Btatates: 1t two or more persons, In any State or Tersi- foty, consplre ta prevent by force, Intimidation, or ilireat, any citixen who ls_lswfuliy entitled to vote, {rom giving his support or sdvocacy. inn Jegul manncr, toward or in_favor of any Iawfaily- %flll persun as an Elector for President or fce-Presidont, or as & member of the Congress of the United States; or 1o injore any citizen in per- #on Or property on account of such support of ad- vocacy; each of such persons shall ba punished by a fine of not lcss than $500 nor more than 85,000, or by imprironmivn®, with or withont hard lar! not less than six montha nor more than six ye or by both such fino and imprisonment. ‘This law, properly enforced, will be ample to protect the colored Republicans in Bonth Carolins, Alabama, and other. Southern States where they are. meking efforts to nssort their political rights. The question in, whother it can be enforced. It is the duty of the United States Attorneys and Mar- sbals in the Bonthern Btates to make n detormined effort to onforce it whenever the proper occasion arlacs, and to call upon the citizens, both black and white, to assist in such effort, If they fail, then tho -responsi- bility will bo upon those Democrata in the Bouth who wore #o profuse in their pledges of protection for the ¢olored voters some two years ngo, 'The Oharleaton (B, C,) Netes and Courier, in commenting upon tho onler, professos to lerald it with great satisfac. tion as the proper moeans for prevent- ing black Republicans in cortain dis- tricts from intimidating the negroes who desire to vote the Domooratio ticket, This is a kind of sarcasm that docs not augur very favorably for the enforcemont of the law; it is evidently prompted by n faith that the ‘Demoorats will rofuso tho United States authorities tho assistanco that may bo ro- quired. If there wero any doubts of this, tho same pnpor sots it at rost by the con- cluding sentenco of its article, which fs: “A whole army cannot keop tho Democracy from carrying South Oarolina, if thoy chooss to carry it, and Attorney.General Devexs Lias no srmy to call out for tho bonefit of his particular friends, whother Democratic or Republican! The civcular lotter is o blank cartridge; it will not scare the Radical bnl- lies, ar give the Democrats more confidence and determination than thoy alroady pos. 806%.” Thia means doflanco, It aniounts to o notico that the Domocrats of that Stato are vot to bo scared, that they know there is no army at tho back of the United States Mar. shals to carry out tho law, and that tho authorities of the Gonoral Government cau- nat hope for any support from tho Demo- cratfo whites in a lawful offort to enforce fair play, Is this the Wapk Ilamrron idea of conciliation? eaty for them to sppeal to all Christendom, and even to srms againat yoor injastice, thoy are prepared to do so. They did not seek Western in- tercoureo; thoy did not ask for the BunriNoane treaty; but now that hoth have been thryst upon them thoy aro determined that both shatl be ro- npected. “Thoy will not be driven forth.

In fact, the former makes him ap- pear na n much mors egregious ass and brutal bully than he has hitherto scemed to be. Loulsville Is baving an Kxposition as well as Chicago. It closcs on tho 28th, and, in order to have it go out in a blaze of glory, it is proposcd o hold a baby-show, and all the mothers n the region round about who own handsome ULabies arc naturally somewhat excited over theap- prosebing event.

It would be an oceasion where true merit would navea falr ehako ngalnst conventionslism and caste. ‘The wood-sawver's baby would compete with that of the milllonalre, and porhaps beat it in the raco for preferment. True, it would ve- quire arood degrecof tmoral and physieal courage for a cominittee of men and women to act as the judizes at stuch a show, but there arc enough bald-headed men in this clly whose halr cannot bo pulled by fratcand disappoluted mothers to haldly accopt such a trust, und the female part of the committeo might be selected from Osh- kosh and Indianapolls that are reached by night troins, and the awards need not be asuounced and the prizea distributed until the polive have been summoned.
