r i i I tho Senate, with certain amendments, was reacted ny tne Ubinese uoverninent. m ruce&ago contained a recommendation that sum of money be appropriated as com lnsation to the Chinese subjects who had suffered injuries at the bands of lawless men. Such appropriation has been duly made and tbe fund awaits reception by the Chinese Government. It is sincerely hoped that by ibe cessation of tbe influx of this class of Chinese subjects, in accordnnee with the expressed wish of both governments, a cause of unkind feeling has been perma nently removed. 1 announce with sincere rearetthat ttayti has again become the theatre of insurrec tion, disorder and bloodshed The tituNr government of Pieside ot Salomon bas been; forcibly overthrown and bat driven out of the country to France, where be has si net died The tenure of power bas been so unstable since tne expulsion of President Salomon that no government constituted by the will of tbe Bay lien people has been recognized as aduia stratively respoxsible for tbe affairs oi thai country.

Tbe report or tbe Secretary of the Treas ury exhibits in detail tbe condition of our national finances and tbe operation of the fever! branches of tbe government related to bis department. Tne total ordinary re venues of tie government f r tbe fiscal year toded June 80, 1884. amounted to $379 266 b74 76, of wbi. b $219 C91.173 63 was received trom customs du lea ano 124 296.871 8 from internal revenue taxes The total receipt from all sources exceeded - those for 'he fiscal year ended June 80. 1887 by $7 .862 997 10 The or. dioafy expenditures of the govtroment for tbe fl-cal ver ending June 80.1888 were $259,653,958 67,- 1 aving a turpius of $119,613. 1 16 09. The decrease In these ex penditurea as compared with tbe fiscal year ended June 80, 1887, was $8 278.231.80. notwithstanding tbe payment or more than $5,000,000 for pension, in excess of wbai was paid for tbat purpose in tbe latter mentioned year The revenues of tbe government for the year ending June 80. 1889. ascertained for tbe Quarter ended September 80 1883, and esti mated for tbe remainder of tbe time, amount to $377, 000 0UO, and the actual and esti mated ordinary expenditures for the same year are $278,000,000. leav ing an estimated surplus of $104,000,000 Tbe estimated receipts for tbe year end log June 301b, 1888. are $377,000 000. and the estimated ordiuary expenditures for the same time are $275 7f$7 488 83, showing i surplus of $101,232,611 e6 The forego ing statements of surplus do not take into account the sum necessarily expended to ; meet the requirements of the sinking fund act, amounting to more than $47,000,000 - annually. Tbe cost of collecting the cus- I toms revenues tor tne last ncal year was t 2 44 per cent. ; for the year 1880 It was 8.77 s pr cent.' I , XNTBBSAI. RBVSSUK The excess of internal revenue taxes col lected during the last fhcal year, over that f-ellected for the year ended June 80ib. 1887. was $5 489.174 26 ; and those of col l lecting tbe revenue decreased from thrte and four tenths per cent in 1887. to less ' than three and two-tentbs per cent for tbe - last year. The tax co lected on oUomara ;" rine was $72,894 804, fr tbe year ending I June 80ib. 1887, and $86,418,988 for the roiiowing year PUBCHASB OV BONDfl The requirements of tbe Sinking Fond set have been met for the year ended June 30, 1888, and for tbe current year also, by the purchase of bonds. After complying with this law, as positively required, and bonds sufficient for that purpose had been bought at a premium, it was not deemed prudent to further extend tbe authority to do so. A resolution having been passed by both houses - of Congress, removing all doubt as to exclusive authority, daily pur chases of bonds were commenced on the 23rd day of April. 1888. and have con tinued until tbe present time. By this plan bonds of the Government not yet due have been purchased up to and including the 80th day of November, 1888, amounting to $94,700,400. the premium paid therein amounting to $17,608 618. The premium added to the principal of these bonds rep resents an investment vieldiDs: about Soar cent. Interest for Ufe time they still had to run. and the saving to the Government reDiesented bv the difference between tne amount of interest at 2 per cent, upon the sum paid for the principal and premium and what it would have paid for interest, at the rate specified in the bonds, if they had run to their maturity, is about $27, 166 080. At first sight this would seem to be a profitable and sensible transac tion on the pan of the' Govern ment, but, as suggested by tbe Secretary of the Treasury, this surplus thus expended for tbe purchase- ot bonds was money drawn from the people in excess ot any actual need of the government, and was so expended rather than allow it to re main idle in the treasury If this surplus, under tbe operation of just and qui able laws, had been left in the hands of tne peo ple, it would have been worth in tbeir busi ness al least six per cent per annum. De ducting from tbe amount of interest on the principal and premium of these bonds for tbe time they had to run, at the rate ot six per cent, the saving of 2 per cent made for the people by tbe purchase of such bonds, the loss will appear to be $55 760.000. This calculation would seem to demon strate tbat if excessive and unnecessary tax ation is continued, and the government is forced to pursue this policy of purchasing its own Donas at me premiums wnicn it will be necessary to pay, tbe -loss to the people will be hundrwtat, millions of dol lars.

S1LVBB- COIN AOS . At the close of tne .fiscal year ended June 80, 1887, there had been coined, under the compulsory eiiver coinage act, $266 988 280 in silver dollars, $tf 504 810 of which were in the bands of the people. On the 80m dav of June, 1888, there bad been coined $299 708,790,atd oLlhit $55 829,808 was in circulation in coin and $800 887,876 in sil ver certificates, for tbe redemption of which silver dollars to tbat amount were held by tbe government. On ihn 80th day of No vemner. 1888 $31,257,099 had been coined; $60,970,990 of tbe silver dollars were actu ally in circulation, and $287,418 846 in cer tificates. Tbe Secretary recommends the suspension of the further coinage of silver, and in such recommendation I earnestly concur. For further valuable infoimation and timely recommendations I ask careful attention of the Congress to the Secretary's report. THE SECBRTABY OV WAR reports that the At my, at tbe date ot tbe last consolidated returns, consisted of 2.1b9 tracers and 554,019 enlisted men. Tbe ac tual expenditures of the War Department tor the fiscal year ended June 80. 1888, amounted to $11,165,107 07 of which sum $9 158.516.63 was expended for public works, including river and barhor improve ments. I earnestly request tbat the recommenda tions contained in tbe Secretary's report, all of which are in my opinion calculated to increase the usefulness snd discipline of ibe aimy, may receive the consideration of the Congress. Among these ihe proposal tnat there should be provided a plan for tbe examination of officers to test their fitness for promotion, is of the utmost importance The ref oi m has been before recommended in tbe report of tbe Secretary, and its ex pediency ia so fully demonstrated by tbe argument be presents in its favor, that its adoption ebould no longer be neglected. OBSSBAL 8HKRIDAN. The death of Gan. ttaeridan in Augua last was a national affl ction. The army then lost tbe greatest of its chiefs, the coun try lost a brave and experienced soldier, a wise and discret counsellor, and a modest and sensible man. Those who in any man ner came within tbe range of his personal association, will never fail to pay deserved and willing homage to his greatness and the glory of his career, but tbey will cber n-h with more tender sensibility the loving memory of bis simple, generous and con siderate nature. TUB NAVY. Tbe report of the Secretary of the Navy demonstrates very intelligent management in tbat important department, and discloses tbe most satisfactory progress in tbe work of reconstructing the Navy made during the paet year. Of the ships in course of c mstruction, five, viz tbe Charleston, Baltimore. Yorktown. Vesuvius, and tbe Petrel have in tbat time been launched and are rapidly a(.piotcuing completion; and, in addition to tne above, the Philadelphia, tbe Ban Francisco, tbe Newark, Benning ton. tbe Concord, and tbe Uerreshoff torpedo boat, efre all under contract. The report shows that notwithstanding the large ex penditures for new construe ion and tbe additional labor tbey involve, tbe total or dinary or current expenditures of the de pigment for the three years ending June 80, 1868. are less by more than 20 per cent tban such eiDenditures for the three vears ending June 80, 1884 Tbe various steps bich bave been taken to improve tne business methods of the department are re viewed by tbe Secretary. PoBTMABTKH GEKRBAL. The report of the Postmaster General shows a marked increase of business in every branch of the postal service.

How severe the Btrain on the Republic when Ethiopians with out tbe faintest notion of the ballot. take away political power from the majority of white citizens! The An glu Saxon, after centuries of civiliza tion, finds himself under the thrall of barbarians of recent remove from Equatorial Africa. The masters of the world become the political slaves of its hereditary serf s. Think of the government of England determined by tbe stupid vote of tbe freed blacks of Hajti! Tbat is the precise situa tion in the United States. A million of men, the best and bravest, butchered each other tbat a dull and besotted alien race might hold the balance of power among an Engheh speaking people. Uonsider also tbat tbe Chinese, who are the greatest tribe of theEist a nai ion producing wonders in ar chitecture, art, finance, political eoon omy are scouted from our shores, while the negro, whose native land ia just across tbe Mediterranean from Athens and Rome, and along the same river with the wise Egyptian, yet never rising out of sloven sav agery in all the centuries, remaining a brute and bondmen throughout the ages, is the ebon Czar of America, the sooty and grotesque idol of ad vanced -statesmen. It makes men tthudder for the sanity of our civili zation. We are ready to close our gates even to the European with his ge nius and history, but decree it a sac rilege to hint that a creature oat of a rude but in a Southern swamp, with mind, manners and motives hardly above a gorilla, is not fit to direct and dominate the "first nation in the fore files of time." It is a psychical eccentricity. The human mind, like tbe banyan tree, after seeing the sun and ehootiog to ward tbe zeottb, stoops again to kiss the dirt. These are the reflections that must force themselves upon men who loathe "practical politics,"' but with ihei eea-chart of history before them mark the currents that have wrecked empires. Patriots ought to use the past as a lens to look into the future. The overthrow of a party has only one significance,- directing the eye to the quickening motion and whirl in the waters tbat alarm. The mael strom is on that tack. Railroad Bonds so to Snaib. Columbia, S. C, Nov.. 30. - A de cieion rendered by the Supreme Court to-day bas created a great sensation all over the State and particularly in nnaocial circles. It bas been tbe cus tom in South Carolina for townships as well as counties and cities to sub scribe large sums to the capital stocks of protected railroads in order to in duce them to run through their ter ritory. These bonds have been free ly sold at par, and as they generally paid good interest were considered in tbe State and at the North sound securities. Several reluctant citizens last year instituted suit in Abbeville Co. to save themselves from paying taxes to defray the interest on some of these bonds and a circuit judge in January decided them -unconstitu tional. Contrary to general expecta tion the Supreme Court has now affirmed the decision of the court below and announces the broad prin ciple that tbe incorporation of town ships for the purpose of enabling tbem to issue such bonds is uncon stitutional because of the absence of a corporate purpose in a township so incorporated, ihe decision makes worthless a million dollars of town ship bonds, a considerable proportion of which are held at the North and will cripple and perhaps stop abso lutely tbe progress of half a dozen new railroads which bave been work ing tbeir way throngh the State with tbe aid of township subscriptions.

He explained wby tbe preparatory department bad been discontinued, wby the organization bad been di vided into two departments, the Aca demic and Scientific, and gave much inioruiation about the work and made some valuable suggestions as to what tbe college needs. He presented figures in reference to tbe financial department embracing tbe years 1875 to 1884 inclusive wbicb were not at all creditable to the Conference in its educational work. At one period it seemed that it had almost abandoned its only college, and but for tbe great love and sacrifice of a few devoted professors, who stood by tbe institution. Trinity would pro bably bave been numbered with the tbings of the past. Siuce 1884, how ever, tbe President shows that tbe college is on tbe up grade, interest is growiDg and Trinity is gaining theJ confidence 01 tne young men 01 tbe State. '( !

On reaching home and acquainting his wife with what he had dona, she refused to have It administered to tbe ohlld, as she-was strongly in favor of Homoeopathy. That night the child passed in suff ering.and the parents without sleep. Return ing home the day following, the- father found the baby still suffering: and walla oontemplating an other sleepless night, the mother stepped from tbe room to attend to some domestic duties and left the father with the ohlld. During bar ab sence he administered a portion ol the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and said nothing. That night all hands slept well, and the little fellow awoke in the morning bright and happy The mother was delighted with the wonderful ohange, and al though at drat offended at the deception prac ticed upon her, has oontmned far use the Syrup, andanffertna arvin bablea and restless nurhts have disappeared.
