The port of London has seen
many rare and strange sights in its
long history, and one of tbestrang
est, says the GlobeDemocrat, was
the-re'centappeftftJUceofii teaship
called the Mee Foo fivinff "the
Chinese flag." It -was not exactly
a high'pooped, -shingle-bottomed
sailing junlc snch as we are accus
tomed to associate with Chinese
sea faring, but a handsome, Clyde
built steamer of 1,700 tons or so,
which had been bought by an
enterprising Chinese firm, and
with whioh the owners pur
posed to make a great deal
of money in the carrying
trane. In this country we are
so much superior to the ignorant
Chinese that wo do not permit our
citizens to own Clydo-built vessels,
or to register them under the
American flog and to make money
with them. We protect 6ur
American shipping by wise and
kind legislation, and wo are so
successful in protecting it that last
year there -was not a single Ameri
can vessel that passed through
the" Suez Canal or -entered the har
bor of -Amsterdam, and it will not
be ten years before Chinese flags,
instead of being strangers in Lon
don port, will be more numerous
than American flags.
The .Democratic congressmen
hare elected tJen. Rosecrans chair
man of the congressional campaign
committee. - It is characteristic of
the Democracy to always make a
mistake at the time when the con
sequences of their mistake would
prove most disastrous to them
selves, and in their selection of. a
jnan as their chairman whp is pre
eminently unfit for the position,
they have evinced their usual in-
aDUity to torget or learn any
thing.
The Qregonian reports Nicholas
Luning.:as having said tlwt bis
new purchase, the Wm. Taber,
...would-be, ready to go on the lino
between here and San Francisco
in a mon'thrjhat ho "had sent an
agent to"New York commissioned
to buy "two steamers suitable- for
his trade: that he had one and a
half million dollars to invest and
knetnof no better enterprise than
aflteamshlp line, to Oregon, and
that the Taber would bo run only
till the new steamers arrived.
Washington Letter.
Prom our ItejruUr Correspondent.
Washixotox, D. O, March 10,1832.
The enemies of ex-Senator
Conkling have been talking a good
deal about how tlio vote stood on
his confirmation for Supreme
Judgebut accounts do .not agree.
Of course tho proceedings of the
executive session are secret and
the oath of '-a 'Senator requires him
to keep them so, henco, whatever
is said about the vote is specula
tion or-guess-work based upon
views expressed : by the various
Senators. beforehand. Tho state
ment that Senator Miller, of New
York, was ono of the few Repub
lican Senators who voted against
Mr. Conkling may pretty certainly
be put down as incorrect. This
talk about obtaining the secrets of
the executive session reminds me
of a sort of praotical joke played
upon Senators by the astuto Ed
munds. It was at a timo when
thesecrets-of the daily executive
sessions wore leaking out freely.
In fact, . the executive sessions
were no secret, for the newspapers
daily published oery thing that
was said or done that was worth
publishing. Senator Edmunds is
a strict constructionist of all rules
and laws. He believes in making
'executive sessions secret. No
newspaper reporter ever found a
leak in him and it is doubtful if
any one ever tried. In one of the
executive sessioas the subject of
the accuracy with which the news
jwpers got tho reports of the pro
ceedings supposed to be secret
byJfr. Edmunds, who. protested
against it and insisted that it
should bo stopped. At his instance
all the doors of tho gallery were
examined to see if they were
locked, and all the recesses w ere
looked into to see if any caves-
dropping reporter had concealed
himself within the chamber. Sen
atorial dignity even stooped to
look under the seats in the report
er's gallery. "Of course, no intrud
ing reporter was discovered, and
the Senate was convinced that
nono save those legally entitled to
be present heard the proceedings.
Notwithstanding this precaution,
tho newspapers continued to pub
lish full reports of tho secret ses
sions, including the expedition to
and search of the galleries. After
a day or two's talk over the mat
tor it datvnod on tho Senatorial
mind that Mr. Edmunds had, in
fact, discovered the method of
leaking, by the search he had in
stituted. Ho had compelled the
Senators to demonstrate that th
only way in which tho secrets got
out was by somo Senator telling.
Ho was not willing to stand up in
the Senate and intimate that the
Senators gave away executive se
crets but he compelled the Senate
to show itself that the body con
tained leaks.
Another recent nomination of
tho President's that has created a
good deal of stir in certain circles
is "that of Pinchback for Surveyor
of Customs for the port of New
Orleans. A lot of.people here ai.d
in Louisiapa have been very much,
agitated over this appointment
and telegrams have poured in pro
testing against his confirmation.
It is an office- which Pinchback
has been very anxious to secure,
and which would give him a great
hold on the colored vote of that
section, two years ago his name
was sent in for tho same position
under -nu understanding said to
have been had with Secretarj
Sherman, but President Hayes
when his attention had been called
to the nomination he had made,
withdrew tho name and Pinch
back went home in no small dudg
eon -to Louisiasa, and was a pro
nounced Stalwart from that time.
His present selection, it is under
stood, was at tho suggestion of
Senator Kellogg and is the inaug
uration of an effort to solidify tho
colored vote of tho State. Pinch
beck is wealthy and a keen poli
tician and his appointment in con
nection with that of Senator Ken
nedy, another colored man, to the
position of inspector of money or
der postoffices in Louisiana is re
garded as a very shrewd and im
portant one from a political point
ot view.
Since the apportionment bill
passed there has been a good deal
of figuring on the probabilities of
the next electoral college as well
as the complexion of the next
Congress. By the terms of tho
new law the electoral college will
consist of 401 members, instead of
3C9 as in the old college, and a
successful candidate must have
201 votes, instead of the memo
rable 185. Dakota is likely to
become a State before the next
Presidential election, in which
case the college will contain 404
mombera and a majority will re
quire 203 votes. In tho elections
of the last decado tho sixteen
Southern States cast 138 electoral
votes, in tho next they will cast
162. Assuming that Dakota will
at that timo rank as a State and be
Republican in politics, and that
the South will still be '-solid" tho
Democrats figure that just 50 ad
ditional votes will bo necessary
for them. But from the present
outlook they had better not count
very largely upon the solidity of
the South in the next election.
But by the way, since it is becom-.
ing so common for presidents and
rulers to be shot at vide the lat
est attempt on the life of the
Queen of England it is doubtful
if eithpr parry will find anybody
two years henco willing to set
themselves up as a target. If
this sort of thing goes on the office
of president will ;go begging.
