George F. Seward, late Minister to China, nas this, to say in regard to the Chinese bill and the President's veto My view of the matter is that the Chinese high officials, while swayed by Tariety of considerations, felt keenly the indignity offered to their nation in enr proposal to discriminate between their people and those of other countries in the matter of immigration, and that the Chinese Commissioners who negotiated the in particular, expected to justify themselves before the nation for assenting to such discrimination by saying that we would be found soon asking China, as other nations had done, to put no obstacles, in the way of the emigration of their people. To those who know the nature of our treaty relations with and the character of the Government it is painfully evident that they would not accept our eonrse with complacency. It does not follow that 1 hey would cut oft relations with us, but it is ceitain that we would lose all favor at the capital, and that our people in trade and our missionaries, when abused by the people or the lower officials, would find redress difficult to procure. Their success in one or the other sphere of eff ort depends not a little, to say the very least, upon the continuance of friendly relations between the two Governments.

Separated by our own aet from the general concert of action among the Western powers in China, yielding to an unjust cry against the Chinese in our midst, faithless to a fair regard for treaty stipulations, our position there would be one in which we could not feel much respect for ourselves, and still less could expect mnch from the Chinese. So far as the action of the President saves us from such dis advantages and humiliation, ha will receive the thanks of all who are interested in China. I opine, also, that the day is not far distant when the veto will command unqualified approval and admiration as State paper worthy of the Chief Magistrate of a great people, who regards duty and principle as paramount to party cries and party necessities. The veto has saved us from a wrong step for the time being, but it should be said that oar whole policy in Jii this matter of immigration is wrong. and that wo ought to retrace all the steps we have taken.

To object to Chinese immigration so far as it is evil can be justified to China, to the world at large, and to ourselves. If criminals come from China, or lewd women, or diseased persons, or contract laborers, let us by all means shut them out. But let us at the same time stand by our principles in regard to the immigration of honest freemen, placing no bar against the Chinaman as such, and still less against him as a laborer. Taking up this posi tion we shall meet all the real difficulties of the situation and conserve our principles, while maintaining our influence with China and the prospects 01 benefi cial intercourse witn ner people. Nine doctors formed the jury of in 2 nest on the suicide of Cornelius J.

Van erbiit. George Terry testified that the deceased said he had been unfortunate and seemed depressed the night before he shot himself. JEle never intimated that he would kill himself, but frequently said he was tired of living. According to Major Luxton's evidence Mr. Van derbilt was annoyed by his litigations and the summonses served on him, and was especially irritated by the suit of Scott Lord and the Wandeli ease.

He wanted all the time to get away from New York in order to escape what seemed to him persecution. Putting his hand to his bead Saturday morning he said, MIf I don't get some relief 111 commit suicide: I have nothing to live for." It might be fair to assume that the pain and anxiety caused by his uncertain health and the annoyances he suffered in other ways made him regard life as a burden, ueorge u. counsel for Mr. Vender bilt, saw him fct his cffiee Saturday afternoon, when he spoke calmly and clearly on all matters except those pertaining to the Wan dell case, which seemed to annoy him. Mr.

Ashley never heard him say he was tired cf life, but he did remark once presumably a joke that if a certain case was not hurried ud he might be dead before it was concluded. The verdict of the jury was Suicide while offering from temporary mental It has been enorted that Mr. Vander bilt stated to Gen. Postley that he had paid $400,000 to Scott Lord, 8100,000 being for legal services, and" the rest for investment in various schemes in which the. latter was interested.

Mr. Lord brings forward his books to show that the actual amount he received for services, was $43,475, and asserts that his former client never invested a dollar in any scheme under his advice or in which he was interested. He persistently advised him to keep out of all speculation, and only on one occasion, in common with other friends, recommended him to put capital to the amount of $25,000 in an osgan manufacturing concern, of which Major Luxton was one of the partners. Samuel P. Colt, down for a legacy of "$50,000 in Mr.

Vanderbilfs wLU, was yesterday elected Attorney General of Rhode Island. Judge Larremore has dismissed the complaint in the notorious divorce suit of Caroline Harbeck versus John H. liar beck, ana apparently reversed previous decisions in similar cases. A summary of the decision will be found in te retting It is not disputed that from May 15y 1871, until the death of plaintiffs husband, October 10. 1879 'the parties lived together ostensibly as husband and wife, and their subsequent so habitations must be regarded as meretricious, unless a marriage may be presumed fiom a mutual recognition of the marital relations and general reputation.

Plaintiff avers that in the month of December, 1879, she and the defendant were duly married and thereafter cohabited as man and wife. On the trial Bhe testified that defendant, upon being upbraided by her ormisoonduct, replied. "You are my wife forever in the eyes of the world, and have nothing to To which she answered, "If yon tell me so I am satisfied." This language did not create any new obligation, but apparently refers to an exist ing relation between the parties. Prior to October 10, 1879, the plaintiff was known and recognized "in the eyes of the world" as Mrs. Harbeck, and defend ant's designation of her by that name, in the absence of satisfactory proof of any new relation, would not be inconsistent with the theory that their illicit inter course had not then terminated.

1 have not overlooked one noticeable feature of the trial the defendant's significant silence. To the testimony of the plain tiff" that he, knowing1 her former career, took her for his wife as 'she then was. to help her lead a better he answers not a wgiu, xieveriuieM a umi a rigm. to avail himself of the strict legal rule that the plaintiff is bound to mace out her ease, and this rule must be upheld 11 tne purity ox marriage is to oe maintained. In view of plaintiff's, acknowledged irregular life tne court must insist that the facts of her alleged marriage be establisned by unquesuenaoie evidence.

Cohabitation of the parties and common reputation are merely, evidence 01 a marriage contract that mav be rebutted by other testimony. The plaintiffs declarations against her own interest cannot be ignored, and must necessarily have great vreignt. cine stated tnat sue was arraia miss Merrill wouia alienate defendant's affections, and that he might marry her; that leaving defendant won Id disgrace her in the eyes ot many wno supposed tnem married. Considering these facts in connection with the uncontradicted testimony of plaintiff 's own sister that no such mar riage as is claimed ever existed, my conclusion is that such convincing proof of the alleged marriage is not made out as would entitle plaintiff' to the relief sought. In this State the fact that a man and woman live together and recognize each other as husband and wife has been regarded as proof of a mutual agreement constituting a valid marriage.

Judge Larremore's point is that Mrs. Harbeck had a former husband living when she first went to live with Mr. Harbeck. This, of course, would render any contract with the latter, private or public, illegal but if there was, as is claimed, anything in the nature of a new agreement after the first husband's death, why is not Mrs. Harbeck entitled to divorce and alimony from the man who recognized her as his wife nearly ten years This question will no donbt go to the Court of Appeals for final adjudication.

The second evening's sale of the Wolfe collection of paintings drew a large crowd to bickering Hall. Forty six works were sold for $73,295. S. A. Coole, of St.

Another art sale, unique in contrast, has just taken place.

The famous Jerry Thomas has disposed of the famous caricatures by Nast, Wust and Lusk, with which his fimous saloons have been deoorated from time to time. The collection had been accumulating for a quarter of a century, and whether in water colors or oil the heads cost from $5 to $40 each.

Ernani closed Mapleson's spring season of opera at the Academy last night, and was so delightfully interpreted that general regret was expressed that it had not been presented before. Paolina Bossini appeared as Elv ira, M'lle Valerga as Donna Anna, Kavelli as Ernani, Del Puente as Carlos, and No vara as mixta. 1 Maurice Gran's French singers have arrived from Havana.

Since leaving New Orleans on Christmas eve they sung eight weeks In the city of Mexico and five weeks in Havana, the business being uniformly good. In the Mexican capital they also acted "Divorcons," with Paola Marie as Ctprienne. Mr. Grau takes his troupe to Philadelphia next week and to Boston the week following.

Cyrus Oliver, the John Jasper of the North, has been allowed to, die in penury and want in Jersey where he organized the Zion Church.

When he grew feeble and began to lose his eyesight, his parishioners cast him off' and even refused to pay the considerable arrears in his salary, although in his forty years' service he had done more than any other one man to build up the African Methodist Church in this section. All the help he had during his last hours came from his white neighbors. He it was who used to order the ehurch doors locked while the contribution box was passed again and again until the Lord had got the last cent." A negro woman named Mary Smith, who was born at Newborn, N. January 10, 1775, has just died in this city.

I BISHOP ELDER AND THE PASTORAL THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND ITS MEANING. Bishop Elder has eiven out the follow ing letter for publication on the recent pastoral of the Provincial Council. It is addressed to the commercial Permit me to express mv wonder at the interpretation you have given to the pastoral letter of the Council of Cincinnati.

You rearard it as takintr issue sauarelv with the Declaration ox Independence. being anti Democratic, aa denvins the all power, and tending to spiritual, political despotism, etc. As one of the signers of our pastoral letter I share the responsibility of its teachings. I beg you, then, to let me show how widely you have misunderstood it. La all that we sav about ecraalitv and inequality among men we only give distinct expression to a simple, oaloabla.

fact, which I suppose no one will deny wnicn i Deiieve you would assert yourself when occasion offered that neither in mind nor body are men equal." Is this not true, that some men have naturally more talent than others that some men have greater bodily powers than others! Do you understand the Declaration of Independence to mean that there are no differences of talent and skill among men? Wealth gives men a standing before the law that poverty has not." is not tnis again a simple statement of fact A wealthy man can engage abler counsel he can give bond for making an appeal, and in various ways a man who nas money and powerful friends has better chances before the law than one who has neither. I say chances. Thank God that sometimes the most rich and influential meet merited pun ishment; sometimes the most poor and friendless find not only protection but charitable favor. But other things being equal, the man with money has a better standing than the man without it. "Politically, the few control the many." is not this very commonly the fact i Take our country, where the government is entirely popular, are there not in each party leaders and executive committees and journalists and men liberal with money and men employing large numbers ox workmen and men holding the appointments to offices Then, men of higher talents and better education and more skill in persuading people Put all these together, they are still the few in comparison to the great mass of voters.

And yet what can any voter or any number of voters accomplish unless they have some of these few to organize and direct them If, occasionally, an unorganized mass of voters, by a spontaneous effort, sac ceed in gaining one election, yet they will never hold the power unless they get the few" who possess the necessary Sual Locations to direct them, and unless bey obey their control. Now, this is all we said in regard to equality and inequality, and this is all we meant to say. Next, with regard to ruling, we may say It is ordained by God that some shall rule and some shall be ruled." Is not this ordained likewise by our State laws and our city ordinances The Governor and the Legislature, the Mayor and the City Council are ruling, and all citizens are ruled, or ought to be ruled by their enactments. Is this not of the very foundation of order and of society "Those who are appointed to rule have certain rights that subjects have not." Is this any strange doctrine, that the Mayer and the Board of Aldermen have rights given them to enact or to enforce ordinances which we other citizens have no right to enact or enforce, but which we are bound before God and man to obey Hence kings and magistrates, bishops and priests are appointed to rule." To confine ourrelves to the civil officers Is there anything wrong in saying that our Mayor and our Governor and our President are appointed to rule For what else are they appointed And in a monarchy, are not Queen Victoria and Mr. Gladstone and the members of Parliament all appointed to rule each one according to his and her respective places and powers This is all that we say and all that we mean.

But you may ask: Why should Buch obvious truths be set forth so seriously in a pastoral letter? Because, in our. opinion, while those truths axe clear enough in themselves, in practice they become much obscured, through the passions of men. Children think themselves equal to their parents, and throw aside Loth obedience and reverence. The idle loafer thinks himself equal to the best citizen, and seeks to live at the expense of the industrious by fraud, by gambling speculations or. perhaps by political office.

And so the rule of magistrates is resisted, when men are strong enough or numerous enough to hope that their, resistance may be effectual. And on all these matters public opinion is not as healthr as eugnt to be for tne srood or raiiannn and KMwtr. Rpmatanee to law anil n. lawful officers not unfrequeuUy becomes a popular movement some localities. and sometimes it obtains a very general approval tnroagn toe country.

It in onr dntv aa teacher nf fTnrl'a laws, to remind tne people who are disposed to listen to us, of these plain fundamental truths. There may be differences of taste aa to the vnnlii in which they should be expressed, but I think there is little difference of judgment, and when, their meaning is sat forth, that they are truths, and that they be at the very oundatation of civil government and of societv. More over we think that their clear enunciation is most needed in a eonntrv of popular government. It is important that the people know the source and nature of their own power, the relations which their chosen officers have toward other citizens, and the influence to which they axe subject in the leaders who direct their political action. Yon have touched another anestion on which perhaps some would make a dispute Whether all authority comes from God? There is neither time nor room to enter on it now.

I will onlv sav that God's own declara tion on that point is unmistakable. It is uttered bv the Holy Ghost through the pen of 8t. Paul Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers, for there is no power but of God, and the powers thatibe are ordained of God." Epistle to the Romans, xiii, 1. And it would be easy to show that this doctrine, so far from being anti democratic, is the verv truth that famishes the most solid foundation for a democratic government, the most effectual protection against despotism and arbitrary power, and, therefore, the best security for the liberty of the people and the peaceable enjoyment of their rights. I remain, very respectfully, jour obedient servant, William Henry Elder, President of the Provincial Council of Cincinnati.

An estimable but far from eloquent preacher is sent to deliver a series of Lenten discourses in a rural church. The oongregation interrupts his discourse with many yawns and mnch shuffling of feet and rustling of prayer books. My dear friends," says the orator with mildness, "you ridicule me because I preach badly. Do you not see. my dear brethren, that in ridiculing me yon cast ridicule upon yourselves Because, beloved friends, if I could preach well do you think I would have been sent out here to minister to a lot of lunkheaded ignoramuses like you The Sargent Banquet.

A banquet to Aaron A. Sargent, in honor his appointment as Minister to Germany, took place last night in the restaurant of the Palace Hotel. The spacious dining room was beautifully decorated with evergreens and large American and German flags gracefully blended. Along the sides of the room bouquets and exotics pleasantly contrasted with the artistic designs of the main pieces on the tables, each representing an appropriate feature. The tables were arranged across the breadth of the dining room, connecting with a long table compassing the full length of the hall, in the centre of which sat the beneficiary.

Apart from the usual sprays of smilax and the invariable boutennitres, an elegant engraved menu, with the names of the invited guests, and bordered with blue silk fringe, rested on each cover. One side was suitably inscribed, a large standing in boU relief, and having in the upper loop a miniature picture of the Golden Gate, the lower loop representing a Rhenish village on the borders of a glassy stream. The reverse was dedicated to a view of the Bridal Veil in the Yosemlte Valley. On the cover that had been reserved for Mr. Sargent rested a menu bearing the fao similie of those described, wrought in silver and old gold.

The various large pieces on the table, the handiwork of Jules Harder, chef de cuisine at the Palace, attracted considerable attention for originality and beauty of design. The piece de resistance, named Trom fhee mtwatre, represented a large pillar surmounted by an eagle with poised wings. Below a cluster of miniature American and German nags encircled the beveled column. At the base, on each side of the pillar, were fountains formed of lion heads, through the mouths of which the effect of running water was admirably reproduced by thin sprays of paraffine descending into ornamental basins of the same material. The whole, structure rested upon a broad pedestal, reached by imitation granite steps.

On either side of the principal guest boned turkeys shaped into mosaic blocks rested upon the nroad trunk of a tree, bearing the inscription, Welcome." At the upper end oi the table the abode of a Rhenish fisherman was strikingly reproduced. The sombre walls of the dwelling, npon which were hung the nets, were made of small cakes. The house rested upon the grassy banks of a lake formed with an ordinary mirror that reflected the surroundings. A number of other larger pieces were placed on the various tables.
