Capt, Cesank Moneno, a very intelligent and accomplished gentleman of Italian birth, but an American by adoption, has written an intoresting letter in the MMeraid about the position which the United States hold in China, Ae he has passed eighteen years in Eastern Asia, and knows the people of China yery thorough. ly, what he says upon the subject uiust be received with great confidence. He shows that the Chinese have an extraordinary liking for America. This is proved by the remarkable attentions paid to Mr, Bunssy. GAME by members of the Chinese Govern. ment on his firet arrival in China, before kuowledge of his character and genius hed changed offtelal respeet into warm personal regard, It is aleo demonstrated by the telo- graph cession made by the Chinese authori. ties toan Amerfean company, and by other facts of an cqually impressive nature. Re specting the strange blunders of the gentlo- man chosen by ANDY Jonxeon as Mr, Bune LINGAME’S successor, the letter makes tho subjoined statement ; “Phe Hon. J, Rose Browne had the fatal mistor- tune of not « willing and not hemg able to com. preiend the Chinese, and listened too much to the bed wily of Sir Rornenronn ALce the Britien M . nud piso to that of the astute secretary and Interpreter of tne British Legation, Mr. Troms Wank, an Irish-Knglishian; and he has (uled, Whoever i the cause of his own failure hae oly him: self to blame.” The following remarks of Capt. Cesamn MoneEno are also worthy of the most thought- ful attention of Gen, Quant and Mr. Fisit: © ‘The Chinese Mandarins have boon accustomed to deal with Mr, BUMLIN@AAE, a very eourteons and very Inveliigent diplomatic man,'of very fino personal gua- Uden who always respected the custome and ideas of ath, ti wers, und never cured If the Chinese were Chiris- and, what was exellent in bliin, never nseti to be Influenced by the Kung: lich, ‘This course ought to be pureued by all the futtire American Ministers in the far Kust, to bave the least possible to do with the British representa. tives and British merenants, ai in every circum Seine many very able potiteane, but aot ai ot thes fre ft to Al che Uninese mission.’ The concluding observation of this experi enced judge of human nature, and of Chinese human nature in particular, is espe- cially important, and ought not to he neglected a¢ the present juncture, Ttis very true that all our able politicians are not fit to fill the Chinese mission, Indeed, all who reflect deeply on this important subject will, we think, agree with us that no man in this nation is #0 well qualified to fill this great office as the Hon, Honack GueELey. A Universalist in religion, not believing in damnation hereafter, he will not care any more than Mr. Buntinaame did whether the Chinese are Christians or pagans, and will enlist their sympathies both by the tolerance of his opinions and the charm of hismanners, On the great subject of Political Economy, too, his views will interest them profoundly, whito in distrust of British in- fluence, and hostility to British diplomacy, he will be fully up to Chinese high-water mark. We trust that he will be selected as the am- bassador to inaugurate the new era which is soon to commence between this country and China, La addition to his regular instructions, he could take out a friendly letter of introduc tion to Prince Kuna from his old partner, Mr. Sewanp, which would place him per. sonally as well as officially on the Lest terms with the Chinese Emperor We would also suggest that the appoint- ment of Capt. MonkNO as Secretary of tho Chinese Legation would be of great advan. tage. He has all the special knowledge both of the custome and character of the Chinese, aud of their language, which is so desirable in an embassy; and his unusual familiarity with Asiatic usages and society in general would enable him to render great service to the new ambassador in any part of Asia whero it might be necessary for him to proceed. If Gen, Quant and Mr, Fist wish to distinguish thelr administration by originality and brilliancy in the remote East —or West, just the observer regards it— they will appoint Mr, Gnixney as an Envoy Extraordinary, and endeavor to secure for him the aid of Capt. Moreno in the dis- charge of his important duties, ee The Pittsburgh Post, endorsed by the Ohio Statesman, strongly objects to the substitution of Mr. Tweeo for Mr, Betwonr on the Democratic ational Committee, ‘They thus searify their Eastern brethren; “We have no faith inthe average New York politician, He is a fraud and @ humbug, full of guile and selfishness, New York politicians gave us a Presidential defeat in 1868; they are figuring for the same thing in They will not be accommodated, how The Fost says that the real objection nade to Bexmone is that he is a friend of Pex. DLETON, The erste Sun. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1869. Dr on Element of Political Power, It has always Veen a debatable question how far the dress and personal appearance of ewinent mon impras the maess of their followers {tis a mistake to suppose that the very lowest orders of society prefer to be dominated by one of their own class, The mob like a leader who at least wears the garb and affects the alr of a gentleman, This trath was etrikingly illustrated in the French Revolution. The Mountain wit doors, and ite constituents outside, made up of the very dregs of Paris, refused to follow the shabby and dirty Manat, and took for their champion RowesriEnnk, who dressed in the most fastidious stylo, and never ap- peared before the noigy, filthy, bloodthirsty crowd till he had made a carefal toilet, and ‘od u beautiful bouquet in the lappel mbroidered coat, The leader of the radical Democracy of this State in their ancient attacks upon tho aristocratic families along the Hudson, whose word lad always given law to the party, wae Maurin Van Buren. He rallied around him the mechanics and the tillers of the soll, and by their votes dethroned the old magnates—tho Livinostons, the CLin- TONS, the Lewises, and their high-bora as wociatex, who had swayed the Democratic eeoptre in Now York for a quarter of a cen- tury, Nevertheless, in his younger days, when Mr. VAN Buukn revolutionized our polities, he dressed like an ex. quisite, and displayed the manners of a fas- tidious gentleman; and even in his mature years, when he dictated a policy for the whole country, and down to the very day of his death, he was scrupulously exact in his attire, Gronon TV, was a fop. While Prince Re ent, his groat rival in the world of fashion wae Mr. Buummen,, familiarly ealled Benu Bromaes, This volatile adventuror had a good deal of influence about the Court, ‘and at one time it was donbtfal which exer- eised the greater control over public affairs, the dashing dandy who led the flirta, or the royal Regent who led the rakes. The Princo was always envious of BrumMen’s elegant costume, After their famous quarrel they hap- pened to attend a distinguished party. The Prince, voon after entering, was observed to ®lare at somebody in a remote part of the oom with so fixed and glaring an eye, that ‘one of his friends thought he was going into 8 fit, and anxiously inquired what was the matter, “Look there!” said Wasa, polnt. ing to Buewen; “my God, what cravat!” Great party chiefs have generally, though not invariably, paid attention to their dress. The blue coat and buff vest of Weasrrn have become historic. Prrv never entered the Commons until he had consulted a mir. tor, and he sat as upright, dignified, and cold as a statue, Fox, on the contrary, came in clad in loose garmente, with @ slouched hat and a rolling gait, and chatted familiar ly with all eround him, Gov, Sewanp was never accused of extravagance in dress, An anecdote concerning him will illustrate tho preference of the masses for well-dressed rulers, « During Mr. Sewann's first term as Gov. ernor the Anti-Rent troubles assumed a for- midable aspect. The Helderberg was in- tensely excited, sheriffs were defied, and a resort to arms seemed to be approaching. Under an act of the Legislature, Sewanp appointed a Commission tosngquire into the grievances of the tenants and the rights of tho landlords, naming as one of itg members his old friend Ganny V, Sackert, of Seneca gounty, Aday was fixed for Gov, Suwanv and Commissioner Sackurr to visit the in- fected district. Tho Anti-Reaters, who Lad never been honored with the presence of a Governor, resolved to turn out en masse to meet His Excellency, and selected an orator to receive him with a congratulatory speech —quite losing sight of the Commissioner, ‘The day arrived, and Sewaup and Sackerr ‘went out in a four-horse baroucho, SackErr, who stood six tect three inches, and always eased in the Websterian blue coat and buff vest, with an amplitude of white cravat and an imposing gold-headed cane, was never better got up than on this grand occasion, and of course he bore a striking contrast to the lithe little Governor, As they descended from the carriage, the crowd of Anti.Reniers cheered lustily, and their Head Centre fepped forward, unrolled his manuscript, and opened his oratorical battery upon Backerr, with “ Your Excellency,” and be- his speech, whilo the mass called out three cheers for “ our noble Governor |" Backerr, waving his cane high in air, shout- ed at the top of his voico, “Stop, gentlemen | you have mado the same mistake that tho people of this State have made, They doubtless ought to have elected me Governor &nd perhaps intended to do 60; but, in fact, they have chosen this gentleman (turning to Bewann), whom I now present to you as Gov, Sewanv.” When Judge Sackerr had encased a bottle of champagne, and put in two or three glasses of cognac by way « stopper, he used to tell this story with sparkling gusto, especially if Gov, Buwanp was present, Great results often spring from slight “pansce. If, for example, the English had not pecured for the Harvard crew a clear course on the Thames, and thus given them fair , this country would have risen up 8 | boast of vietory is all bush, eS and demanded prompt payment of | Besides, is it not true that so far the Oxford fhe Alabeme claime: and. in svite of the] men have not displayed very good manners or Mr, Morey shone by his al ce at the regatta banquet in England, but he was more than represented by Mr, Dickens, who gene- rously acted as the mouthpiece of America, It is surprising, not only that the Oxford men were not all present on the occasion, but that they did not pledge themselves lo @ mew race on the Charles river or Lake Quinsigamond, ‘This is the only menly way to reciprocate the courtesy of Harvard, Until the English rowers display the same pluck and skill on American waters which our young fellows exbibited on the Thames, their * ai toward their fate antagonists?

Po rnot of Kansas, a man of Radical polition, be- lieved to possess every gift and grace of perfect virtue, But of late he has got into a sort of quar. rel with his people, and not long ago was burned in eftigy by some estranged friends of his; and now we find in the Kensa journ otter attri- buted to him in the following language UNerep STATE SRN ATH CHAMBER, | Wasnixurte: 16, 1 ¢ “Dean Lroate: Twant you’ to eer the P.M.
