Hopkins of Washington county. Mr. Mitch ell is a Democrat, and came within a few votes of beating Col. Hopkins for that position at the election held last, fall. S I SCE 'the adjournment of Congress the Secretary of the Treasury has is. sued $l, 559,000 of the reserved green hack fund. Mr. Boutwell says this is to meet the immediate demands on the Treasury, and has no bearing on the condition of the money - market, being merely for immediate use, and to be returned in a few days.. The fluids were necessary in'order to pay the increase of salaries provided by congress, which amounts to nearly THE Secretary of the Treasury - 1 states that the use by the Department if the legal-tender reserves will, not ,xetfed $3,000,000,and it is hardly es 'pected to be much over $2,1100,(11X1. ;The amount drawn from the reserve fund is for the convenience of the Department alone, and has no rela tion whatever to the money market, and is not concentrated at any one • place; but is distributed in paying warrants Ao. parties all over the coun try. There is no intention at the Ifepartment to permanently expand the currency, and in the views upon this subject Assistant Secretary Bich s oielegal tenders Outstand ing to be 5357,059,450. being $1,059,- 450, in adyanee of the amount shown in the last debt statement. , SECRETARY BOCTWEI.I., Was, on last Wednesday, elected a'Senator.of the United States by the Legislature of Massachusetts. His principal competitor was Henry L. Dawes, one of that Slate's Representatives 111 Congress. Mr. Dawes was slight ly mixed up in the Credit Mobilier business, at the beginning of the last session of Congress, and had it not been for that he would more than likely have beaten Mr. Boutwell fur the'Senatorial prize. Immediately after Mr. Boutwell's election on Wednesday, Senator Stunner tailed upon him and congratulated him as follows: "I congratulate the t•oun try, I congratulate the State, and I congratulate myself in having you as my colleague." • IN another column of the Am:l7s the reader will find an article on the Chinese que:+tion, written by "Gail Hamilton," for the New York Inde pendent.' The writer 'has for many years past been distinguished for good sense, keenness of observation, and entire independence in the ex pression of her views on all political and social questions. She has been to North Adams, "Mfgrichusetty, recently, where a number of China men have been at work (or some time past In a shoe factory. What she saw and heard and learned there, touching the - Chinese, their habits and disposition, she has recorded in the article to which reference is made. It ',lli baleen tl -- •• -- up some new phases of Übe Chinese , l ite4tion, and draws a contrast or two which are anything but com plimentary to persons who glory in railing themselves "American eiti- Aens." THE Ohio State Journal (Republic an, says that "the defender of the thieves of a party is not a party organ but a thieves' organ." It is one of the most encouraging signs of the time 4 to note the bold and manly in dependence which is beginning to characterize the respectable journals of the country. The old fashioned party "oreau" is playing out, and must give way to a higher order of journalism. The spread of intelligence h. - forcing it: As the unis.ses become educAted they begin to think for themselves and will not be deceived by a bigoted, one-sided or partizan view on any question. They will demand a plain, unvarnished state- meta of the facts in the case, and make up their verdict in accordance therewith. A clear exemplification .•f this is seen in the course pursued by the almost entire press of - the country in regard to the Credit Mo biller frauds. No partizan journal dared stand up in defence of its party idols, broken In the Credit Mobilier mill. A few made the attempt, but public opinion would not law it. The successful journalist of the future must have an irdlexible regard for truth; honesty, that no temptation c.in corrupt ; and independence superior to every consideration of mere interest, enmity or friendship. The progress of the times demand it. TILE election held in New Halm).- .hire hot week, resulted in the choice of-three Democrats for Congreßs, and a 'Republican, Le4islature. Straw, the Republican candidate for Gov- ernor leads his Democratic competi tor, but as he did not receive a ma jority of all the votes cast for that office, there is no election by the peo ple. The choosing of a Governor now devolves upon the Legislature, whicih will elect Straw. The gentlemen elected to represent the State in Con grtz. were members of the last House, and made good records for themselves while in .that body. I Neither of them were milted up with the Credit Mobilier busies and all voted against increasing their own and other officers' salaries. Party tines were- not tightly drawn; in fact every voter claimed the right to do as he pleased, and the mixed re sult shows pretty clearly that a great many ottbem exercised that privi lege. The Republican candidates for iovernor, and the Republican candi dates for the Legislature, generally, did not defend their party friends at Washington, and the people stood by them and supported them; while on' the other hand, the Republican tun dictates for Congress persisted in treating the Mobilier scandal with levity and tried to pooh, pooh it out of sicht. ,The voters did the pooh ing themselves and elected them to stay at home. The result therefore, shows that, neither of the two politi cal p a rties, as such, gained a triumph in New Hampshire. It was a victo ry of decency and honesty over in d veney and fraud, and that is all there liof it. TttEelection in GreeneusktO, Was held' on last Friday, and the 'returns show a majority of LEM against li cense, every township in the county, save two, gave a majority to favor of prohibition tnr r o n Trn people themselves seem tote out-stripping their public wrvants in putting a low estimate on nffiend honesty. hook at a fart or two: Congress rebuked ViCe President Colfax with others just before the close of the last session of.

No frown tuet him there, noangry word fell upon Ws ear, no, indignation meeting was held by his betrayed constituents, but on the other band, the newspapers of New York city. tell us that Mr. Brooks is regarded by his people as a persecuted man, and that they intend to return him to Congress just as long tis he waists to .t.e a member of that body. pierces while a member of Congress. Bat as in the case of Brooks, Ames Was I not expelled, but the word "ceneur ed" was spread opposite to his name on the records of. Congress. A day or two afterwards the "Hon" Qftkes Ames reached his home in Massa chusetts. His constituents turned out en -masse not to pelt him with I mud, nor to belabor him with sticks i but to give him a public , dinner treat him to wine, make beautiful little speeches in his presence, and to assure him in a resolution which they adopted that they looked upon him as the "noblest work of God— , an honed man." • It is not only mortifying, but it is really painful to note these indict ' tiOns of the decline of publiegirtue in this country, and we refer to them now only to point out the fact that unless the minds of the people ;ni -1 dergo:a change, our moral and social condition will soon be at a point not at all agreeable to contemplate. TUE Republicans of Connecticut, in their State Convention lust week, adopted the following resolutions. They speak our sentiments, and should command public commenda tion everywhere : Rezolred. That we have seen with profound regret the recent develop ments at Washington, and the evi dences of a deep political and 7 com mercial immorality in the affairs of the Union Pacific Italtroad,theCredit I I.,lobilier, and in the undue and ret roactive of salaries: that we have ' been shocked by the proof that trust ed ruen,ssent to Congress as the peo ple's servants, have used their re sponsible pos ions to further private ends by robb ig the. public.t..l .

Well said. Now 'let the party organs in Connecticut and elsewhere cease defending Republican wrong doing, and earry out the spirit of the resolution which says, "No partisan "ship shall shield those who have "hotrayed the confidence which has "been freely extended to them," It's a breath of vigorous pure air that comes to us in these resolutions. A movEmENT to increase the sala ries of the members of our State Leg islature was developed at Harrisburg last week. Although not an accom plished fact yet, the increase will no doubt be allowed before the session closes. This, and kindred projects which are now before our represen tatives at the State Capital go to show that the 'last dollar" is to be taken out of the State Treasury this winter, and if the taxpayers are not literally "bled to death" within the next three or four years, it will not he the fault of those who carry the , keys and handle the purse-strings at Harrisburg. They seem to be as ravenous as wolves, as merciless as tigers, and as they have everything in their own hands and can do pre cisely as they please, the rest of U 9 can do little else thani"grin and bear it." The particulars touching this latest steal are thus given by the Harrisburg correspondent of the Pittsburgh Gazette of last Wednes. day: Tie Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Mr. Mitchell, of Tioga, last evening reported the cenenitappropriation bill for 1873- 74. The bill is not yet printed, but I understand the appropriations are very large, reaching four and a half millions, without the half million which it is generally conceded will be granted to the centennial enter prise. The pay of members is increas ed to fifteen hundred dollars, and in addition five hundred dollars is voted to forty or fifty members en gaged in special committee service. The Increase in the pay of members, is certainly a very questionable piece of legislation, but it is likely to go through, as the parties careeted in it rest have the doing of it. I he lice a law some years ago fixed the salary of Representatives and Sena tors at $7OO. but the Committee on Ways and Means has been in the habit, for some sessions past, of ap propriating $l,OOO, fir each member, in addition to perquisites. This is the sum the members expected to re ceive when elected, and the only reason for an increase is that the mon ey is in the Treasury, end the neces sary votes will transfer it to the pockets.of members. There is no pretence of increased living expenses here or elsewhere. The money is In the State's strong box, and the temp tation is too strong to resist. That's the long and short of it, and the re sponsibility for the increase Will be so diluted and mixed up that most of the members think they will be able to escape direti censure.

If thegen tiernan has any method of success fully stemming the tide a public opinion, we know several distinguish ed public characters who would be glad of a course of lessons from him at any price. —Sleighing parties we have always known to be promotive of gallantry, but never have we known a more notable display of it than that made by a young man in Lowell. He was so fearful that he might upset his fair companion when it became necessary to turn about, that he unharnessed the horse, caused the young lady to alight, and turned the sleigh round himself. It would be a shame if such ende r consideration as this did not have a chance to exert itself in more permanent and tender relations. —The nobleand numerous guild of lecturers will be grieved to learn that a brother has come to grief.

If not for stealing horses, at least for stealing—but never mind ! We de cline to say for stealing what. —lt is now to be determined by the courts of Middlesex county, Massachusetts, whether an unfortun ate young man who reposes confi dence in the smiles of a charming widow has any rights under the law. and whether or not he is to be pro tected by the county. In the court of the county aforesaid Mr. Lucas has sued the bewitching and deceiv ing Mrs. Sarah E. Markham for the sum of $925 as expenses incurred in courting her, to which proceeding he was temptid and encouraged by her. The lady finally married an other fellow. The question now is, have susceptible bachelors any rights, or are they to be eternally the victims of outrageous widows ? —We like presence of mind. It Isn't the commonest of qualities. Partic ularly is it difficult for many men to preserve it when anything awk ward happens to them in the com pany of ladies. Imagine the situa tion of a young gentleman the other day in Portland, Me. He was just gallantly lifting his beaver to two beautiful young women, when a Bled with a boy on it ran against his legs and did so disarrange his center of gravity, that after performing six pigeon wines, he came to the earth. Without a frown, he picked up first himself and then hat, and merely re marking, am always subject to I these dizzy spells in the Winter," he passed (slimly on. That young man shonlii‘ go into -the military business and win battles. —ln this world of sorrow and dis appointment it is reviving—we do not know anything more reviving— to read in the newspapers of fortun ates who have had money -Aft them In the most unexpected 'way. It seems to increase one's own chance of a legacy, and often. it is well known, one's chance needs increasing very much indeed; What has hap pened to one man or woman may happen to another. There was the lady who worked in a factory in New- Hampshire,. She was married, bat her maiden name was Butillon. One day she saw the name, which is not a common one, mentioned in a news paper as that of a gentleman in Nat chitoches, La., and thinking he might be a relative, she wrote to him. They continued to correspond ; they be came convinced that they were re lated to each other; and now he has been good enough to die and leave the lady $130" 0,000 ! So much for be ing born a Butillon. Now, this is a pretty story as it stands; but a pair of such will be prettier than one. Haley, a defaulting postmaster, has hen since 1871 locked up by the Gov ernment in the Detroit House of Oar rection. The other day his wife, who is, strange to say, very fond of him, induced the President to pardon him. As she was on her way to him with the pardon, she was informed of the death of his father 'convenient old gentleman), who had left him a farm worth t-50,000. Now, If that ex-,post maiter doesn't behave himself in the future, he deserves to go to prison_ again for the rest of his natural life, and never to have another father leave him $50,000. ~i BY GAIL HAMILTON.

But that they were in earn est their unceasing work showed.— They scarcely looked up at the proach of visitors; and, if they ob served us at all, their countenances maintained a dignified and self-re spectful uneonscionsnesa. That they are earnest dud aspiring is seen -also from their school room; whets! they are mastering the new language and the new modes with a rapidity and persistence quite - worthy of the Cau casian race, while maintaining still a most tenacious love of fatherland. a close knowledge of its history, and a fond pride in its traditions. iso. as you soma matting over the wooden railings of the wooden bridge, listening dreamily to the rush of waters and looking abstract edly at the commonplace Melt facto ry, you feel that this incuni,ion,ftom rtestinelent work' away dinsillie MO inslenificsidn.arimentligera i rt there. Th*-grandeur eau ancepory. the vague, veiled splendor, the se cret sacred learningare unsealed, and the Celestials are making shoes in a Yankee factory. We reckon these Chinese as hea then and publictuul, to be civilised and Christianized. But what do they think of us? I am sure that those almond eyes are watchful, and theories are form ing under those black coronets. Two women come chattering up the bridge, and we accost each other in friendly country fashion. Among other objects of interest they point out the Chinese factory. I love in formation et first hand, and I ask If our Asiatic friends are welcome. "No, indeed!" says the portly matron, bridling with indignation. "They've no business here. Every body hates 'em, but Mr. Sampson, and he worships 'em more than he does his Maker." It is a new view of the bond be tween employer and workmen. "flow are they offensive?" I ask. "Do they not behave well ?"-• "I don't know but 'they behave well enough ; but they have no busi ness here !" "Are they riotous, quarreleome, noisy? Do they rob hen-roosts and clothes-lines? bo they mingle in street-fights and stir up strife?" "No, they are peaceable enough. They are afraid to do anything of that kind. They are too afraid them selves. They darn'€ do any mis chief." "Perhaps they would behave well even if they were not frightened Into it. We might, at least. give them the benefit of the doubt." "But they've no business here. They don't take any part in the_gov ernment. They've no wive.; or fam ilies. They don't mean to stay here. They only come to get money— our money."

"But the nation was originally founded by foreigners. , And if these people are quiet, honest and indus trious, may they not ben real advan tage to us?" - "No, they don't spend any money. They lay it all up and live on noth- Sn'. If there's a concert (l a lecture. Mr. Satnpson has 'em all go and take the best seats. You can't get anywhere, because he's , got money' and is just king." "But they pay for their seats?" "Oh ! yes, they pay for everything. But I call 'em no better than a mess of hogs." Now, I suppose the untutored mind of North Adams is no more fe rocious or inhospitable than the un tutored mind outside of North Ad ams. We have been sending costly missions to China for many years, with very hopeful results; and yet with results consisting perhaps more of hope than of accomplishment. I not long since heard a missionary who had spent many years in China describe her disintegration and de moralization, arising, in part, at least, from the opium war and sun dry foreign influences; and when I asked him whether, on the whole, contact with Christian nations had as yet done China more harm or good, he answered, promptly and emphatically, "Harm, a hundred times!" We will not give up our Chinese missions, expensive though they be; for, as one little stream pouring into the fissure of a tuck will finally rend and shatter the whole mass, so our little Gospel-rill is going presently to shiver this great Pagan empire, and rear upon its ruins a Christian civili zation which shall be a joy to the howle earth. Yet, if while they are merely peg. ging away at their boots and shoes, we could quietly convert them into Christians, it would certainly be a mat deal cheaper than to fasten them pp in China and convert them these.- And, as we have only about halls million a year to spend on the whole world, it must be readily seep that the question of dollars and cents becomes a very important one. As it appears that the Chinese them selves ate peaceable and docile, pager to learn our language and our ways. and are, therefore, of their own ac cord, putting themselves into a very toed training for Christianity, while -the hostility, the tumult, and the brickbats are on the American side, would, it not be well to leave the Chi nese to themselves for the present, and to see that ISiasasohusetts and Califoinia are well stocked with mis sionaries, whose first duty shall be to preach to American citizens that the Chines are not a mess of hogs? If the Chinese are not human beings, subject to like passionsas we are, we waste money in sending them the Gospel. If they are human beings, it must strike them strangely that we thrust ourselves into their homes with tne Bible and receive them in our homes with stones. if we can not Christianize our own communi ties into a fellow-feeling with the Chinese, what ground have we for expecting to Christianize Chinese communities into a fellow feeling with us? We have long counted Chinese exclusiveness and seclusive ness as a mark of harbaristn'; but I cannot see that China has expressed her desire to be let alone by America in any more emphatic or barbarous manner than America has expressed her desire to be let alone of China. American missionaries have directly interfered to alter established Chi nese institutions ; but Chinese immi grants have been only too happy to conform to our laws and customs. They have never attempted to prose. lyte or even to modify. They have simply and humbly sought to earn an honest living by supplying labor which we need at prices which we fix. And they have been met with a ferocity and brutality which would do credit to the darkest Pa- ellMn•AndLvideti imiehtila wiguslnt biome BO* It ii=i' 4 lbitrit'' Wtiato *ad Amer) dentsgand. ntal therdieh lisnlete* ill ware, y Jev * wet too aiwit to that body, di 6kyil Welchthe! to tomb= of 9, sod "grew*? ed sr the wiiy That a bilker thins.

' His ability quickly gave him weight in his new position. • His associates re spected him and deferred to Ids ad vice. The public prate, without re gard to party, spoke well of him.

Many of them still refuse, In their strong rooted faith in the man, to believe the Congressman and Vice-President guilty of this thing that is laid at his doors. Certainly there is no such direst proof of guilt as in Mr. Patter son's awe ; If It were a sitnplequestion of veracity between 'Oakes Ames and Schuyler Colfax," statement statement and oath against oath, should all know which to believe. Unhappily, Mr. Colfax is enmeshed in a net of circumstantial evidence, so strong and entangling that it is Impossible at this moment to see how he is to extricate himself.
