Tit IOndon "Tim" on the Cliiuese
Mission.
Tt.e London Timet -oi the 11th Inst. has. what
Hcnlls a plttnce at the tumor; of British rela
tions with the Chinese Eawire during the last 30
yeats. The article proceeds :-But, indeed, it is
to eoni'thing beyond leniency that the present
Govtronent ib indebted. When we crushed the
TaepiDg malcontents, we literally dellve'ei it
Irom the Jaws f iuid. And ho bai it repaid
tbe services rendered? lias effect been given to
a single clause ot tbe treaty that could be wrig
gled outotT Has a staple caa:e of complaint
been redres-edf The despatches of our repre
sentatives, past and pre.-eot, tell the same tale.
Verily it would seem as if the Chinese diploma
tists wete toasters of tbe situation. They laugh
to scorn our treaty. They indict upon us a
severe disaer. They then jockey us Into
quelling .native rebellion. Tbey again laugh
our treaty to scorn, ana, coony ignoring;
their indebtedness, contemptuously Rive us
the Cgo-toy as principal and leading power in
tbeir foreign relations. Tbey send a mission
with tbe avowed object of reuderiug as far nuga
tory as 'may be. possible the right ot access to the
interior, acquiescence iu wh'ch they feel they
can no longer evade, aud which, though forming
tbe leading provision of tbe treaty of Tieu tain,
has tor some reason or other been left pructi-cally-a
dead letter for eight yean. Tbe Chinese
Government feels too weak at the moment to
reslat as in days gone by; it resorts therefore to
artince and cafulery. If we can for the time
being be kept out of the couutry with our con
sent, aud can be baply coaxed into waiving the
right, as in the case of access to the city of
Canton, it nurses the hope that with time may
come strength, its intent being stealthily to
turn tbe interval to accouut lu poisoning
the minds of tbe people far and wide against
up, so that if, and wben, we do attempt to
avail ourselves of tbe surrendered privilege, we
may meet a population arrayed in fanatic hos
tility. ' It designs to repeat on a larger scale the
policy prosecuted to successfully for nigh twenty
j-ears at Canton. Aud it we do not take care,
there Is .little doubt of Its aucces, in which
event the conflict will not be with tbe Govern
ment, as heretofore, but with the people as well
as Government. The Chinese rulers are actu
ated by tbe mistaken vie wa which bound their
very narrow horizen. They are our adversaries
lrom ignorance and fear, aud such they will
continue so long as we fail to furnish them with
tbe experience needed for tbeir enlightenment
and conviction. Progress is our nece-sary ally;
she alone can provide the needed experience by
which the statesmen of Ch nn are to be moved
onward. And hence a policy of negation on
our side is totally inadmissible. The duty of
guidance devolves upon us; it Is utterly unsafe
to leave our relations to be gu'.ded by them, as
lias of late been tbe case. Tbe people, on tbe
other baud, are animated by a tottily different
disposition from that ot their rulers. They have
uniformly evinced the greatest friendliness to
wards foreigners and where a different temper
has manifested itself it has been traceable to offi
cial prompting. Sufficient prominence cannot be
given to this important truth, xoe people are
eager for intercourse, and no reason exists, so
far as they are concerned, why China should
not be thrown open ta-morrow to unresliicted
intercourse. Tbe permission proclaimed would
be hailed by them with dellgbi, We hive now
to recover the mound lost. We can effect this
by simply telling the Chinese Ministers that if
tbey wish for war we desire peace: that we per
ceive plainly the drift of their present diplo
macy to forestall our attempts to form a friendly
acquaintance with their subjects; that we mean
to have our treaty carried into effect without
furl ter delay, and that consequently we shall
decline to t-ien any clause or clauses calculated
to convey the notion that that determination
has been relinquished. If we thus act now, the
Chinese Government, being too weak to show
its teetb, will acquiesce, and there will be
peace. If we do not, and we allow it time to
a i"uaie tbe people, our intercourse will grow,
lor grow it must, amid contests that mus; lead
to conquest, since all means of persuasion and
coercion short of that will have been exhausted.
' not dream of a consult rabid extension of
iir frontiers, and it the treason of Austria, in
1W6, bad not deprived us of a portion of Bessa
rabia, which is of no use to Roumanla, and
which is essential to Russia for ensuring ber
southwestern frontier, we could regard our
western boundaries as deHnitlvely fixed. But all
the Ureal Powers (with the exception of Eng
land, wbo bas usurncd in Eorooe an iunuenee
much greater than Hongs to her of right), are
araentiy desiring to extend their limits; eoue on
account ot the lnsufttc'eut liontier assigned to
them by various trer.ties, others by reason of
tbeir ambition and their desire to recover the
innuence they have lost. When the day
comes for tbe Turkish Empire to fall, Western
Eurono will be satisfied if. in thennrtitlnn tilth
Turkish succession, Kussia shall coutent herself
win tne leu Dank ot the Danube aud the with
arawai ot the onerous conditions imposed upon
ner in i860. Why, then, without bone of profit
imbroil ourselves with Prussia, who in her
relations with us bas always observed more
lonorahle conduct towards us than that, for

Admiral Farrago in tbe Bosphorns,
The London Morning Foat says the Franklin,
Uited States frUate, left tbe Bosphorus on
Saturday, August 20, for the Mediterranean, but
before going was the scene of an incident
Wbicb, through do fault of Admiral Farragut
or bis officers, has slightly marred the pleasant
memory of her visit. On Thursday a deputation
of enthusiastic Greeks, headed by Mr. Samart
eidi, tbe editor of the Ktaipohoa, went off to tha
frigate to present an address, more liellenico, to
the Admiral. Before the officer on duty could
announce their presence at the bottom of the?
f augway, some of the party commenced flinging
copies of the address (in English and Greek)
tbiough the ports and up on the deck among
the crew. At tbe same time, a parcel contain
ing live hundred copies of the document was
cent aft to the Admiral's cabin. It contained,
ot course, an enthusiastic appeal for sympathy
with the Cretan movement, which was described
as a war agalDst "grievious oppression," and, in
conclusion, expressed a hope that tbe Uulted
States would assist in liberating "thisjiilstorical
country" (Turkey in Europe) from, etc. Mr.
Morris, the American Minister, happened to be
with tbe Admiral at the time, and, it is said, at
once lemarked to him that whatever
might be bis private feelings in the matter, he
could not receive such an address without in
decency toward the Sultau, by whose hospi
tality his ship was then anchored in the Bos
phorus. The Admiral felt the force of this
suggestion, and at once ordered all the copies
of the address which had b-aen thrown
on board to be collected aud returned
to the deputation, wblch was all
this time below in iu boats awaiting permission
to ascend the ship's side. lie also sent word to
the party that he could only receive it j mem
hers as private individuals, and not as a politi
cal committee of any kind. I bey were then
admitted and presented to the Admiral, who
received the whole very courteously, but with
out any political remark whatever being made
After a brief inspection of tbe ship the party
left, apparently much gratified with their visit.
News ot what had passed, however, appears to
have reacbed the Minister of Police, for on
Saturday evening Mr. Bamartzldl and two other
members of tbe deputation were arrested and
conveyed to Btamboul. Tbe legality of this
proceeding was more than doubtful, as not only
veie tbe parties Hellenic subjects, but their
offeree, it any, was committed under the Ameri
can flag. They were still kept Iu. durance, not
withstanding tbe protes. of tbe Greek Legation;
but their immediate release was expected.

Now to the fao's of last night, whih show
that behind all this foolish stuff was a really
malignant design. Last evening, Lieutenant
Bjnner, who is a merchant doing business in
New Yotk, but residing in Kearney, on the east
side of the river, opposite Belleville, was waylaid
as be was leaving Mr. Little's house, where he
bad been passing the evening, and knocked
down with a slung-shot by an enemy whom he
only raw for an Instant. Ue fell insensible, and
was probably left for dead. After about halt an
hour of unconsciousness, he revived, and badly
stunned and covered with mud, walked back
and aroused Mr. Little, who had retired. He
was without his hat and cane, and seemed some
what bewildered, but said be had been as
saulted. Mr. Little took his lantern and gun,
and went down the carriage road, where he
found the hat and cane. Returning, wben
within two hundred feet of his house, he saw
an object on the ground, which proved to be a
pistol. The pistol is a Frank Wesson, two
barrel revolver, new and bright, and loaded.
On the silver-mounting of one side it is marked
"K. K. K." On the reverse are scratched a
dagger and bullet. On one side of the butt it Is
marked "A. J." or perhaps "Q. J.," the mark
being indistinct. Ou the other is engraved.
"Death to Yankees." '
The latent development was the finding in the
vicinity of the outrage? by a lad, at au party
hour this morning, the following Ku-Klux Klau
order, or message:-

This shows that tbe killing of Lieutenant
Byuner was inteuded, and ttist it failed only by
the blunder or cowai dice of his assailant. The
burning of Mr. Little's barn was doubtless de
feated by ht being about with a gun' and

Ulysses said he didu't like the name Hiram any
way aud so we let it stand. We have never had
any reason to object to it since. It seems good

I thought that good on Manton Moses Marble.
Mr. Grant said Ulysses was one of the best

capacity wonderfully comprehensive and com

"Why just look at General Grant's campaigns.
Don't tbey show great fluancial abilities f Who
ever beard ot such results at so small an ex
pense? Rotecrans stopped In front of Murfrees
boro and Chattanooga six months, while mil
lions of dollars were wasted. McClellan spent
untold sums in the Virginia swamps. But
Ulysses was always ready to 'move upon the
enemy's works.' If you will look into the matter
yon will see the Vicksburg campaign was the
only expensive one he conducted."
This led me to ask:
"What opinion has your son of Rosecrans ?"
"A very poor one," said he; and, continuing,
he said : "Before the war I heard him say that
Rosecrans was a failure, and often during the
war be similarly expressed himself. Why, when
General Grant was before Richmond he needed
general oflicer, but, you remember, though
Rosecrans was idle, Grant didn't take him. He
said be never could trust him anywhere."
I inquired il he thought General Grant would
trust him in diplomacy, and keep him in
Mexico. His reply covered tbe case. Said he:
Rosecrans will kick himself out of Mexico
toon enough."

Flocking- to Hear the New.
Wabhihctom, Sept. 22.-There were not many
or me congressmen who left the city last night-
Tbe greater number remain over, aud take their
departure this afternoon and evening. After
the adjournment yesterday, the Renuhltaan
ujemters flocked to the central headquarters of
the Union Republican Executive Committee to
hear of the results so far of the campaign. The
Secretary made a full explanation of what bad
been done by the Committee and what is to be
doDe. The reports which he has received from
all the States in the Union are most cheering.
Notwithstanding the difficulties under which
the Union men labor in the South, the prospect
in that section is reported as very satislactory
and cheering. In North Carolina, Alabama,
lortda, and Louisiana especially the Republi
cans are confident of success. They are work"
ing nignt and day, and are preparing to meet
the Ku-Kiux Klan with their own weapons.

air. Bamuel Uardiuer, the electrician, has
completed the electric gas-llghting apparatus
ordered by Congress at its last session, aud on
oaiuxuny evening tne nan or tne House of
Representatives was successfully lighted for the
first time. The old gas-pipes and "carrier tube"
were removed, and the new pipes aud electric
burners put in their places, and so arranged
as to throw the light more direct upon the floor
of the House and galleries. The result Is that
twenty per cent, more light is produced. The
magnetic engine and indicator are beautiful in
struments, the operator having perfect control
of the apparatus, independent of the dome and
rotunda. For this purpose there is a cable laid
from the battery to the House ; as soon as the gas
flows to the burners they arc Instantaneously

POLITICAL BETTING.
The Average About 81000 to fsGOO n
Grant aud Collax.
Wilkes' Spirit of last week remarks:
We are constantly in rec.eiot ni let tern fr.-im
all parts of tho country asking our opinion of
the general result of tbe November election, and
of the election prospects in the several Suites.
Many ot these letters propose to bet, aud most
of them wish to know how the betting stands,
not only on the main issue, butnpou the leading
features ot the cnuvass in the larger Slates. To
all these we make the general answer, that
betting on the general result has almost ceasnn
since tbe Vermont election, from the unwilling
ness of any of the leading Democrats to bet at
any ratej whatever. Occasionally, however,
heated discussions entrap the unwary Sey
mourites into expressions which they feel
bound to support, and then a bet ensues, in
which the Democrat usuallvrenuires three to twn
and sometimes two to one. The average, how
ever, on the ccneral issue. Is abontSlunn n.?nint
$G00 In favor of Grant; and, as we said before,
there are very few takers at that. Tnls gives a
fair indication ot public opinion, and particu
larly of the opinion of those Democratic organs
which, while they proclaim ffevmour and Blair's
success as certain, will not Dut ud a cent. ThU
is an argument which tbe rank and hie of the
Democracy can understand, and they mark it as
an evidence that that tbeir leaders have given
the thing up. The small office-seekers amoog
them, therefore, are beginning to look for snug
places in another Quarter, and it will hn a trreat
Democratic stampede for shade and shelter.
We will take this ODDortuuitv to sav. that ner.
sons desiring to invest on Seymour may still
got several thousand dollars covered at this
Office. This Offer bas stood in our r.olnmni far
several weeks, but, we are sorry to say, without
an j response, except iu tne way ot moral nrotest
against tbe crime of betting from such'exem
plary Christians as the per nmed literati of the
woria. They do not like it. evidently. Tim
argument is too direct and conclusive tor them,
and they consenuentlv meet it with enit hot. nn?
deprecation.
The condition or tne betting In regard to this
State is rapidly becoming even; andou Oris wold
against uonman it is already even. Considera
ble money bas been invested at thi rata Huh,
the lust three davs. It la our nnininn that H..
mour and Hoffman will both be badly beaten in
the State.
In Maine a laree Rennhlican fncra i.
looked for. Betting has been made at $500
against $1000 that it will go Republican by
20 000. Pennsylvania la coming Into favor at au
even scale, and Ohio aud Illinois begin to Oder
odds on their Republican candidates. As to
Pennsylvania, we have the judgment of Simou
Cameron to the effect that it is aure to go for
Giant.
