From January 1 unlil December 31 it will be conducted as a newspaper written in the English language and printed for the whole |>cople. As a newspaper, THE SCN believes in get ting all the news of the world promptly, and presenting it in the most intelligible sliape— the shape thnt will enable its readers to keep well abreast of the age with the least unpro ductive expenditure of time. The greatest in terest to the greatest number—that is the law controling its daily inakc-up. It now has n circulation very much lurger than that of any other American newspaper, and enjoys an in come which it is at all times prepared to spend liberally for the benefit of its readers. People of all conditions of life nnd all ways of think ing buy and read THE SUN ; and tliey all de rive satisfaction of some sort from its columns, for they keep on buying and reading it. In its comments on men am! affairs, THE SCN believes that the only guide of policy should be common sense, inspired by genuine American principles and backed by honesty of purpose. For this reason it is, and will con tinue to be, absolutely independent of party, class, clique, organization, or interest. It is for all, but of none. It will continue to praise what is good and reprobate what is evil, tak ing care that its language is to the point and plain, beyond the possibility of being misunder stood. It is uninfluenced by motives that do not appear on the surface ; it has no opinions to sell, save those which may be had by any purchaser with two cents. It hates injustice and rascality even more than it hates unneces sary words. It abhors frauds, pities fools, and deplores nincompoops of every species. It will continue throughout the year 1880 to chastise the first class, instruct the second, and discoun tenance the third. All honest men, with honest convictions, whether sound or mistaken, are its friends. And THE St N makes no bones of telling the truth to its friends and about its friends whenever occasion ari.-cs for plain speaking. These are the principles upon which THE SCN will lie conducted during the year to come. The year 1880 will be one in which no patri otic American can afford to close Ins eyes to public affairs. It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of the political events which it lias in store, or the necessity of resolute vigi lance on the part id - every citizen who desires to preserve t.ne Government that the founders gave us. The debates and acts of Congress, the utterances of the press, the exciting con tests of the Republican and Democratic parties, now nearly eipial in strength throughout the country, the varying drift id' public sentiment, will all bear directly and effectively UIXMI the twenty fourth Presidential election, folic held in November. I'otir years ago next November, the will of the Nation, as expressed at the polls, was thwarted by an abominable conspiracy, the promoters and beneficiaries of which still hold the offices they stole. Will the crime of IS7O be repeated in 1880? The past decade of years opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and msoh nt Administration intrenched at Wash ington. THE SCN did something toward dis lodging the gang and breaking its power. The same men are now intriguing to restore their lender and themselves to places from which they were driven by the indignation of the people. Will they succeed ? The coining year will bring the answers to these momentous questions. THE SUN will he on hand to chron icle the facts as they are developed, and to ex hibit. tliein (dearly and fearlessly in their rela tions to expediency and right. Thus, with a habit of philosophical good humor in looking at the minor nlfairs of life, and in great things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights of the people and tlie prin ciples of the Constitution against all aggressors, Tin: SCN is prepared to write a truthful, in structive, ami entertaining history of 18H0. Our rates of subscription remain unchanged. For the DAILY St;N, a four-page sheet of twenty-eight columns, the price by riiuil, jiost paid f is 55 cents a month, or $0.50 a year; or. in cluding Iho Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet of fifty-six columns, the price is 66 cents a mouth or $7.70 a year, postage paid. The Sunday edition of THE SCN is also fur nished separately at #1.20 a year, postage paid. The price of the WEEKLY SCN, eight-pages, fifty-six columns, is *1 a year, jiostage paid. For clubs of ten sending $lO wo will send an extra copy free. Address I. W. KNOLAND, Publishers of TUB SUN, New York City. novl9-tit JOIIX CHINA MA N. WHY CALIFORNIA REPUDIATES HIM. [Correspondence of Philadelphia Times.] SAN FRANCISCO, NOV. 1. At tho late election in California a vote was taken on the subject of Chi nese immigration, resulting in a prac tically unanimous expression against it. Whilst this unanimity arose very largely from indifference, from the manner in which the question was pre sented, and from the knowledge that the was inoperative, save as an expression of opinion, there is little doubt that the decided sentiment of the people of this State is against any further Chinese immigration, and this sentiment is shared by the large num ber who would look upon the imme diate expulsion of the Chinamen al ready here as disastrous. In other words, the anomaly is presented of a sparsely-settled community eager for increased population, and yet deliber ately rejecting a class of immigrants possessed of many desirable qualities, and whose sudden withdrawal would confessedly be a severe blow to every industry of the State. In themselves, independent of their race and religion, the Chinese are useful members of the community, particularly in a new country like Cali fornia. They pervade the whole State, are merchants, miners, mechanics, gar deners, farm hands, laborers and domes tics, as well as practically monopolizing tlie laundry business of the country. The whole social fabric would go to pieces if they were suddenly removed. In character they are docile, teachable, quick to learn, with retentive memo ries, apparently very forgiving of ill treatment, perfectly reliable in their contracts and free in a remarkable degree from the vice of eye-service. Crimes of violence, except among themselves, are practically unknown among them, though their treatment is frequently such ns to justify them. As laborers and farm-hands they arc not equal to good Americans, but superior to the majority of white farm hands and laborers in this State. They are, in most respects, capital domestic servants, their worst fault, that of fre quent change, disappearing when they are kindly and considerately treated. WHY THEY ARE NOT WANTED. It would seem somewhat surprising that such a class of immigrants should not be encouraged, particularly in a State like this, whose one great need is patient industry, and which gladly welcomes tho advent of the Italian peasants, who alone of foreign immi grants seem capable of coping with the Chinese in those outdoor avocations in which the Chinaman is particularly successful. And when pressed for rea sons for this apparent caprice nine Cali forniatiH out of ten can give none, or only such as are silly and false on their face—mere denunciations. The Chi nese do not work cheaply in this State, neither are they displacing any class here; to those acquainted with the conditions of wages and labor in any new country such statements carry their refutation with their utterance. Yet there are reasons for this distrust antl dislike of Chinese immigration, and the feeling that leads to their rejection is probably based consciously or instinctively upon them by all save the brutal mob of the sand lots and their congeners through the State. One reason is that, with all their good qualities they have the defect of not being immigrants in the American sense of this word; that is to say, they are adventurers, not colonists. They do not come as white or European settlers do, seeking a home. They come unaccompanied by their families, rarely, if ever, acquiring land, and not desiring, perhaps not capable of citizen ship. Their ideas of civilization are as different from the American and European standard, as that of the African, and the prospect for assimila tion with it is more hopeless than in the case of the negro, from the double fact of their possessing a civilization which, while better in itself, is more unyielding than the barbarism of the African, and that there is no desire or opportunity for them to become at tached to the soil by the rearing of families. Another ami stronger reason is, that, if they could bo thus perma nently located race prejudices would prevent their assimilation or absorption by the whites to even greater extent than in the case of the negro, and the consequence would be the establish ment of another caste of laborers, at tended with the most disastrous results to our true prosperity. But to the great mass of Americans, California is so remote and discon nected from the rest ol the country that its peculiar institutions are but, a matter of more or less' philosophical interest, and this one in particular would continue so but in the improbable event of the Chinese immigration reaching such proportions as to t hrenten the establishment of an Asiatic colony on our Pacific coast, and iu the possi bility of that immigration overflowing the Sierras and seeking a lodgment in tho East in competition with one or more of our laboring classes. Is such an event as the latter more than a mere possibility, and would it be desirable? These are practical questions and pos sibly worthy of brief consideration. Wild. TIIE CHINESE STRETCH EAST WARD ? The only reasons that will deter Chi nese immigration from setting in steadily east of the Mississippi are the expense of the journey, lack of places, insufficiency of pay and a decided adverse public opinion. The first of these would and could be easily over come by the mutual profit of the im migrants anil the public-spirited mana gers of tho Pacific railroads. The o|ft!ratinn of the other three would, I believe, result in their restriction (if they come) to but two classes of em ployment, those of domestic servants ami laundrymen and of laborers in the South. The effect of a large immigra tion for either purpose would lie unde sirable, not only for the reasons above given, as applying to California, but from the displacing of the two classes already employed in those avocations, though the gain to individual em ployers might lie, for the present at least, great. Their temporary presence in limited numbers, particularly as domestic servants, might serve an useful purpose as a hint to Bridget that now that long suffering individual, her employer, might turn and revenge herself. Their advent as laborers and mechanics would be impracticable and undesirable, not only by the hostility it would provoke in both cases, but in their unfituess to compete with the whites in either pursuit, the relations between farmers and hands being essen tially different from those prevailing in California, and the ability o f the Amer ican mechanic to enable his employer to compete successfully with the cheaper and more docile mechanics of Europe lying in his ability to work with his head as well as his hands, in which the Chinese are generally sig nally deficient. If there is any truth or force in the forgoing reflections, it might be as well for Congressmen, when this sub ject of Chinese immigration is again forced upon their attention, to consider it in a broader light than mere party interests would dictate, and if, ou statesmanlike grounds, further Asiatic immigration should be thought unde sirable, to arrange with the Chinese Ooverument to put an absolute stop to it, without discourtesy to a foreign power or the ridiculous and easily evaded provisions which marked their late action on the subject. TRAINING SHEPHERD DOOS. The following extract gives Mr. Darwin's description on the method of training shepherd dogs: "When rifling it is a common thing to meet a large (lock of sheep guarded by one or two dogs, at the distance of some miles from any house or man. 1 often wondered how so lirm a friend ship had been established. The method of education consists in sepa rating the puppy while very young from its mother, and in accustoming it to its future companions. A ewe is held three or four times a day for the little thing to suck, and a nest of wool is made for it in the sheep-pen. At no time is it allowed to associate with other dogs, or with the children of the family. From this education it has no wish to leave the (lock; and just as another dog will defend its master, man, so will these dogs defend the sheep. It is amusing to observe, when approaching a flock, how the dogs immediately advance barking, and the sheep all close iu the rear, as if around the oldest rani. These dogs are easily taught how to bring home the flock at a certain hour in the even ing. Their most troublesome fault when young is their desire to play with the sheep, for in their sport they sometimes gallop the poor things al most unmercifully. "The shepherd dog comes to the house every day for some meat, and as soon as it is given him he skulks away, as if ashamed of himself. On these occasions the house dogs are very ty rannical, and the least of them will attack and pursue the stranger. The minute, however, the latter reaches the flock, he turns round and begins to bark, and then all the house dogs take quickly to their heels. In a similar manner, tv whole pack of hungry wild dogs will scarcely ever venture to at tack a flock guarded by oven ono of theso faithful shepherds. In this ease the shepherd dog seems to regard the she sheep as its fellow brethren, and thus gains confidence; and the wild • logs, though knowing that the sheep are not dogs, hut art! good to eat, yet when seeing them in a flock with a shepherd dog at their head, partly con sent to regard them as he does." WHY HE STOLE. He was a book-keeper, And had a wife. His salary was $2,. r >oo porannum. Hut she complained. ■She wanted a better house. Better clothes. Nothing lit to go out in. No country cottage. Nor carriage. Nor front pews. Nor society. She coveted a place on the ragged edge of tin; select f>oo. She kept it up Night and day, And moaned and Groaned and Growled and Wept. Me lacked stylo, also, As well as new clothes every six weeks, and various other things. lie knew how his employer made several hundreds daily on the street. A thousand or so would not IK* missed for a few hours. So he took it, went up on the street, and won. She got her sealskin. He took more and lost. More to get that back and lost. More yet. Defalcation discovered. He wears the Penitentiary check. Others are going too. Beware. But if you win regularly, society won't 1M? hard on you. Hut if you lose, society will sit down on you. Beware. Better is a modest room up two pair of back stairs than a cell in the Tombs, And a plain woolen jacket rather than a pair of prison uniform pants on poor Charlie's legs. —Beading flashy dime novels in duced a New York boy to steal $75 from his father ami run away from home to exterminate the Indians.

KG. !. DEATH OF LADY GOOCH. [From the Now York Herald, Nov. I.] Lady Gooch, wife of Sir Francis Gooch, well known iu connection with her attempt to palm off a spurious child on her husband, is dead. Thus ends the strange history which star tled London a year ago. Lady Gooch has not died unpiticd. Ever since the December morning when the recorder of London said that the law did not care to deal with her offence and tho grand jury refused to find a true bill against her, public opinion has been veering in her favor, and, while it could not justify has yet declined to condemn. English society has come to believe that she was more sinned against than shining. To the foreigner the case was mainly interesting for the light it threw on the decadence of a very old English family. The Gooehes were not ennobled, but for centuries they had been Lords of Suf folk domaiu. Thy had given Judges to tho bench, Generals to the army and Bishops to the church. Their founder had in 1727 been created Lieu tenant Governor of Virginia, and it is said of him that neither inhabitants nor merchants ever complained of his administration. Sir Francis, the eighth baronet, succeeded to the title and estates when he was barely of age. His brother had suddenly died, leaving a young widow, and from the position of a penniless younger son he become at a bound owner of Benacre Hall and a magnificent rent roll. His first step was to marry Miss Annie Sutherland. She was a country squire's daughter, pretty and lovable. For a while all was happiness. Sir Francis bought his younger brother a commission, took his sister and mother to live at the hall, and iu tho summer of 1873 Lady Gooch gave birth to a son. On the same day Lady Eleanor, the dowager, married again. Then the lieir died, and the new found happiness gradually melted away. Tho young baronet, believing that no other heir could be born to him, estranged himself from his wife. "Somehow or other," said her advo cate at the trial, "her husbaud's lovo was gone—gone with the little child that was then laid in tho grave. She become possessed of one idea. Night and day she cherished one dream. If she had another child to take to him —another child who she could per suade him was her own—then she might win back the love that was lost." Sir Francis went off for months on yachting expeditions; his sisters had married ; Lady Eleanor, who was now once more regarded as his heiress, treated her with undisguised bitterness, ami she was left alone in tho hall with a certain Miss Garrod, an elderly com panion, not unlike Miss Briggs, in "Vanity Fair." In the morbid mood thus engendered she first formed the idea of getting a child from the found ling hospital. She made little secret of her intention. She asked the aid of the meek Miss Garrod, of the hospital matrons, of various doctors at various seaside resorts, and when they all re fused hired the services of a compas sionate nurse, who conveyed the baby at night into the Grosvenor Hotel. Next morning the deception was dis covered, and her husband burning to avenge his wounded family honor and vindicate the claims of Lady Eleanor, summoned his crazy wife into a police Court. Everybody will remember tho rest. The magistrate, feeling that his Court was not a tribunal for tho ad justment of private rights, sent tho case for trial, and the grand jury as ex peditiously threw it out. But Lady Gooeh's life was ruined beyond re demption, and in dying she made tho only expiation in her power. —Seventy officers and 600 men com prise the navy of Greece. —There is probably no potato that is a better keeper than tho Snowflako. —The sugar planters of Texas are using convict labor to take off their crops. —There never was such a drought as the present ono in Texas since it became a State. —There are 40,000 postoflicos in tho United States, anil 100,000 people con nected with the postal service. —More than 100 children have died in Johnstown and vicinity during tho p.i.it six wcoka from diphtheria.
