It is with extreme regret that we announce the death of Mr. Charles Dickens, which oc curred at his residence near London yester day afternoon. In another place we have a complete sketch of his life and a critical re sum,', of his labors as a man of letters, and it is only necessary here to pay a brief tribute of respect to his fhemory. Mr. Dickens was not an old man, and there was every prospect ihat many years of work wore yet before him; and even if he had laid down his pen, his ad mirers could not but hear of the Bud den and unexpected 'death of one to whom they were indebted for many hours of enjoyment and innocent amusement without more than usually profound feelings of roitow at his loss. Mr. Dickens was almost the last of the brilliant coterie of intellect that made the English literature of the middle of the nineteenth century what it is, and hi3 death leaves a void that cannot be filled. THE COMING MAN. Tue coming man has arrived. A vessel di rect from IIong-Kong has landed at New Orleans a cargo of one hundred and sixty Beven Chinese coolies, being the first instal ment in the grand scheme concocted some months ago by the enterprising Koopman schap. The new comers have received the following welcome from a leading New Or leans journal: "Let those Chinese strangers be dealt with klndlv and considerately. Put away uncharitable thought's about their being pagans, l'ut aay supercilious notions about their being barbarians. Heaven knows their paganism, whatever its forra9, can liardJy be, in moral and actual fact, more hideous and portentous than the kind of paganism alrea ly rank in this country, and which consists in various fashions of godless life and sentiment on the one liand, and In various modes of feticlildiu or voudou lsin on the other." This is all very well as far as it goes, and we trust that the South will not resort to the suicidal policy of turning a cold shoulder to willing hands, simply because the population of China is addicted to paganism and is not as civilized as it might be, after the modern fashion. But, while it is to be hoped that the Southern land-owners will extend a hearty and generous welcome to the new laborers, they must be careful not to be too demon strative in their welcome. The coolie trade has hitherto been marked by almost as many barbarities as rendered the African slave trade doubly infamous. The wretched Chinamen have been enticed into the making of contracts of the most unfair and unreasonable character, and, being once embarked on their voyage to the unknown land of promise, have been subjected to the most barbarous cruelties, both during the voyage and after arriving at their place of destination. The unscrupulous white men who have engaged in the new chat tel traffic have not hesitated to repudiate in toto the few guarantees conceded to their dupes, and their sole aim has been, as a general thing, to extort as much labor as possible from the miserable coolies, without regard to their simple right to live out the days allotted them upon the earth. If the coolie trade which has been inaugu rated in this country is to be marked by the same heartless features that have scandal ized it elsewhere, the sooner an effectual stop is put to it the better. After waging a terri ble war for the preservation of the Union and the extinction of negro slavery, the nation cannot and will not permit another system of slavery to be built up on the ruins of the old institution. The Southern planters who avail themselves of the surplus popula tion of China must remember in so doing that human bondage in all its forms and phases has been forever blotted out, and that no labor system which bears the slightest resemblance to it can be tolerated on American soil. Already several important measures have been intro duced into Congress looking to the regulation of Chinese immigration to this country, and it is to be hoped that, before the close of the present session, time will be found to perfect these measures and ensure the final passage of a law that will not only facilitate the intro duction of Chinamen into the United States, but ensure to them a full measure of justice as human beings after their introduction. EE IN 00 UNUM E PLURIDUS BR AO 11! 'The "New Regime" is at last in fair working order in New York, and the metropolis has good cause to congratulate itself upon the promise of the future, especially when contemplating the list of men who are to vote away its money and control its more iinuae&iata local interests. The roll of the new City Council ought, indeed, to afford the most intense satisfaction to the people of oar neighbor city. Of the fifteen aider men nine are natives of the United States, four of Ireland, and two of Ger many. "Nearly all of them," says the Tribune, "are men of at least fair repute." Among the entire fifteen there are but three liquor dealora, and of these but one is the keeper of a resort of roughs and blacklegs, and even this est a blishment is frequented only by such of the professional fraternity as can afford to don a deoent suit of clothes. In view of the abso lute power which the new compromise char ter places in the hands of Tweed and Bweeney, the "fair repute of the majority of the new aldermen is indeed something for New York to be grateful for, and the thauks sachems are doubtless echoed by the peope of all classes and parties. But when the solid metropolitan glances over the list of assistant aldermen, his soul should be wrought up to the very ecstacy of gratitude. This branch of the City Conacil is composed of twenty-one members, and of these eight are natives of the United States, one of Germany, and the remaining twelve of the Ould Counthry! The Irish Republic, which has been so completely swamped in Ireland itself, and was still more effectually squelched at Franklin and Malone, thus rises from its ruins and reigns supremo in the metropolis of the New World. But this is not the only cause for congratulation which is presented to our fortu nate neighbors. Of the twenty-one assist- nnt aldermen, seven precisely one-third are dealers in spirits, the list of aldormanic traffickers in ardent beverages embracing the solitary Teuton and six of his Hibernian col leagues. None of the native members of the board are engnged in the selling of liquor, but in view of the fact that six of those who hail from the Emerald Isle are so engaged, such of the cnlightenod voters of the metropolis as prefer to take their straight drinks at the bar of an assistant alderman are afforded ample facilities. And New York, be it re membered, is the commercial, financial, ar tistic, social, moral, and religious centre of the Great Republic, the claims of Boston am I all other provincial towns to the contrary not withstanding. ADVERTISING THE ORDINANCES. Is the Select Council yesterday a resolution was offered that "hereafter the ordinances passed by Councils be inserted one time as advertisements in all the daily newspapers of Philadelphia instead of having them published four or five times in one paper," which was subsequently amended by the addition of the Sunday newspapers as mediums of publica tion, after which the whole subject was re ferred to the Finance Committee with the un derstanding that it should report two weeks' hence. The underlying idea of this propo sition is a good one, and we are disposed to cordially approve the proposed new system. Councils, however, may as well look before they leap, and systematize Mr. Bumm's project before they put it in execution. The theory of the original propo sition yesterday was that it was better to publish the ordinances owe in all the daily papers, than four or five times in one paper, which theory is founded on a misapprehen sion or misrepresentation of the present custom. It provides for tho publication of the ordinances in three papers, giving but one insertion in each, and the proposed change would not, as the hasty reader might infer from the statement by which it was sup ported, secure increased publicity for the present amount of expenditure for advertising. The probable cost of the new system will neces sarily be increased in proportion to the additional number of newspapers in which the ordinances are to be advertised. If Councils wish to secure the increased publicity without increasing the present expense, thoy will be obliged to provide for a condensation of the ordinances, and this could certainly be dona if they were stripped of their legal verbiage. In New York a large sum is lavished upon pet party organs for corporation advertising, and funds are taken from the public treasury to pay for official reprints of proceedings which, in their essential features, are pub lished gratuitously by the Philadelphia dailies. The magnanimous spirit which was so pleas ing to some of the Democratic Councilmen of this city yesterday rarely or never animates the Democratic rulers of New Y'ork. This is no good reason why Philadelphia Republicans should not display a better spirit, but it is no doubt one of the causes of the perpetuation of the present system up to this time; and the financial burdens involved in the mainte nance of the New Y'ork system illustrates at the same time the necessity of a fair degree of caution ia the establishment of new ad vertising arrangements here. By a correspondence published in The Telegraph of yesterday, it will be seen that Frederick M. Adams has consented, at the solicitation of a number of leading citizens, to become the Republican candidate for Legislature in the Eighth Legislative district if he is nominated by the convention. We also understand that Mr. Marshall and several other gentlemen of high character have been submitted to the Republican voters of the district in question, either of whom would bo a great improvement on its late representa tive, Stokes, who, happily for the public in terest, has declined. Wo trust that the dis position manifested in the Eighth district to select candidates of an improved stamp may become general, and that a sweeping reform may thus be effected. RnriDAi. Pkoi'Ensitibs. An English piper says: "It is well known to all Frenchmen that la England our climate is so droary and detestable that there are more suicides among us than ia any other country of Europe. Statistics show, however, that for a long period of years tht average number of persons who have destroyel themselves has been at the rate of 110 per milliou Inhabitants in la juf ui fa i v, an I only 09 per million In spleen-saiitten Albion. Dur ing the past year no less than 6111 persons com mitted suicide In France loos men and 1003 women, Of these 900 men and 407 women drowsed themselves; 1972 men and 335 women chose death by hangiug; 438 men shot themselves, while but 5 women owed their deaths to firearms: 192 men and 113 women made use of the fuinaa of charcoal; knives were used by lit men and 33 women ; poison by 74 men and 41 women; 99 men and 6 women met death by jumping from windows, towers, etc. ; 81 persons flung themselves In the way of trains, One individual starved himself to death. It thus appears that hanging is the most prevalent methoJ of self-destruction in France, thea comes drowning, then suffocation by charcoal, and lastly by poison. It is a well-known fact that, so far from decreasing, the number of suicides Increases in a direct ratio to the spread of education and civilization. In Prussia, the most highly educated country la Europe, the annual average of persons per million Inhabitants who destroy themselves Is 811 more than double the average of France, and nearly fourfold that of ug!ana On the other hand, ia Spaia the average pi wt4U,iii4ou:yiv'iftv'ai,jaUi;oa muav;ta.4. fit-iance: and commehcr ErsHiNo Tfi.iio.afh OmcaJ Friday, Jans 10, 1970. t The money market to-day shows more than the average degree of dullness, owlnz to the dlfagreeabie weather.
