The seven youngest of the bish? ops are between 30 and 35 years of age. -Mr. Burlingame denies the reports recently circulated to the effect that the Chinese Govern? ment have been dissatisfied with the results of his mission, and asserts that, on the contrary, his diplomatic conduct ha? been in entire accord ? with it. : -c?ptain General de Rodas denies the rumored project of the Spanish Government to send a fleet of war vessels to the harbor of New York, and attributes the rumor to the fact that a couple of Spanish war vessels are going there, as has al? ready been stated through other sources, for repairs. -On and after the 1st of January next the exchange of malls between the United States and France will cease, in consequence of the abroga? tion of the present postal convention between theo. All letters sent hence after that date must he prepared at the rate of ten cents per half ounce or under, and newspapers two cents each, the same rates to be collected on letters and papers received here at the offices of delivery. - -President Grant hopes to have the Danen ship canal well nuder way before the close of h!s administration, and, to further this work, has or? dered the Secretary of the Navy tc detail a suffi? cient force to make the necessary surveys of the Isthmus. No doubt is entertained that the treaty already negotiated will be ratified by thc Colum? bian Government, and In view or this fact that government hos accorded permission to the Unit? ed states to cause the requisite surveys tobe made. -At a hotel lu Sonoma, California, on the 13th, one William Hurd, who was drunk, said to Wil? liam Hudson, his friend, also drunk, with whom he had never quarrelled: "I wish you would cut my throat, or ray head off." Hodson replied: "All right; lean do lt for you In a few minutes." Soon after Hudson borrowed a knife, returned where Hard was sitting, and inflicted a severe wound m lus-neck, causing almost Instant death. Hodson was arrested for thus accommodating his friend. -The Bari of Zetland, who has held the position of Grand Master or the Freemasons of England i for twenty-six years, hos announced that it ls not his Intention again to offer himself for nomi? nation to the office at the Grand Lodge to be held In December next. It is believed that the Earl De Grey and Ripon, who has held the office of Deputy Grand Master since ac retirement or the Earl or Dalhousie, will be put In nomination for the office of Grand Master. The Prince of Wales, too, has recently joined the craft to be nominated. -It is now the law in Prussia that a male can? not be considered to have arrived at his majority until he ls twenty-four years of age. The Prus? sian authorities are now discussing a bill which declares evc-y male Prussian to be of agc when he arrives at his twenty-first year, ir the bifi passes it v Ul go into operation next April. There are six avl a hair millions or young men who will be advanced in ure by this new arrangement should it go into operation. In Hollnnd, Belgium, Italy, Fra.tce and several South and North Ger? man States tue period or twenty-one years has always existed and works admirably, without ever having bocu complained or. -Thc New York correspondent or the Philadel? phia Ledger writes: "Shipping houses again re? port lower freights on Atlantic voyages. The de? pression ot berth rates to Liverpool is largely due to the pressing necessities of the steam tonnage in that trade. This class of vessels are oH'ged to leave on their regalar days, and are often com? pelled to make liberal concessions in order to ob? tain freight. In some cases wheat has been taken as low as five cents. Thc chartering de? mand ls moderate, though there ls rather more Inquiry for petroleum tonnage. West India and South America business is very dull, and rates favor charterers. In the way of cotton charters there ls little or nothing doing, the amount of tonnage st the principal supply port? being in ex? cess of the demand." -The reported recall of the Burlingame Em? bassy ls capable-admitting the news to be au? thentic, as the China correspondent of the Alta California asserts that lt ls-of two Interpreta? tions. The first is that the Emperor, desiring to have personal Information of the progress made with the treaty powers, recalls the Embassy, not ont of any dissatisfaction with what has been done, but for the desire to know more definitely wTnrr--iis been done, and what its effect is likely tobe. In that flaw, the news ls not specially im? portant. But there is another Interpretation, ac? cording to which the news becomes exceedin-ly Important. The probabilities seem to be that the origina', design of th< Embassy was to show, not what China would do. bat what it would not do, and why lt would not. It was dispatched shortly after new aud pressing demands had beentnndeon the Emperor by the Wes.nrn pow? ers. Those demands, for varions reasons, the Emperor and his varions provincia' governors were not disposed to concede: and it was to de? precate the employment of for;e, apparently, "that the Embassy was sent ou . Dut Mr. Bur? lingame diplomatically presei .ed. rather, the great progress made in China, and i's desire to become one of the Inter-depem ent family of na? tions as a method of concillan m. and ii is, there? fore, qnite possible that the Emperor, displeased with the popular impression so created, as com? mitting him, tacitly, to more t an he is willing to perform, now seeks to undo th i impression by re? calling thc whole legation. Opening of tlie Aittdcmy. The Charleston Academy ol' Music was formally opened last Dight, and the chief city of South Carolina rejoices in the pos? session of a lyric temple worthy in every particular of our people and our .State. It needs not now to speak of the difficul? ties, dancers aud embarrassments which have been met and overcome. There is in the simple fact that we record this day a mute eloquence more winning thau words an unwritten story of brain and muscle, of unflagging energy and patient toil. The broad liberality of an adopted child of South Carolina, joined to the skill and dex? terity of a Charleston architect and of Charleston workmen, have given to this city an edifice which has no superior even in the metropolis favored of fortune, where marble palaces and gilded spires kiss the evening sky. It is our own work-a monu? ment; of the activity and of the ingenuity of our people. The Academy of Music is the lirst pu'olic building of importance erected in Charles? ton since fiery tongues leapt from roof tree to pinnacle, from altar to fireside, from the shores of the Cooper to the broad wa? ters of the Ashley. And surely the thoughts of some who, rank above rank, gave life to the glittering horseshoe yesternight, tra? velled back to the time when Charleston was rich, and Carolina was free; not in a spirit of gloom and discontent, not iu doubt and misgiving, but with a feeling that the brilliant scene around them was a welcome harbiuger of the spring-time of fortune-the forerunner of long years of happiness and peace. It was indeed a glo? rious sight to see; a sight to make the old heart young, to brush the cobweb from the brain, and to strike the rools of hope deep into the bosom of despair. The Acade? my of Music is open. The play and players now demand our care. The Celestial Deluge. Wendell Phillips looks on hopelessly upon the progress of the Chinese immigration, as De Tocqueville contemplated the rising del? uge of Democracy. Indeed, the language of the French philosopher on the one sub? ject may have suggested that employed by the arch agitator upon oue of "The Ques? tions of To-morrow." The latter repre? sents the Anglo-Saxon and the Chinaman, each as a world power which moves onward to its purpose as irresistibly as a law of fate. In his usual metaphorical, hyperbolical and paradoxical way, he describes either race as a bulwark which no deluge can submerge and a deluge which no bulwark can withstand. Every previous conflict in our history will be forgotten, he prophecies, when these in? domitable race-3 fairly meet. If Mr. Phil? lips' premises are true, his predictions of mobs and social earthquakes yield "a most 'lame and impotent conclusion." The prob? lem is one that can have no solution except the fute of (he KHkenny cats. The thoughtful observer of the resources and needs of the country may, perhaps, form a different judgment of the result of the Chinese immigration, now numbering two hundred thousand, and still pouring in through the Golden Gate. He will remem? ber that the apprehensions now entertained in regard to the Celestials, once sought to obstruct the way of the Irish and Germans, who constitute so important and useful an element in our population. The five mil? lion immigrants who landed 0:1 our shores between thc years 1320 and liSbO, uni the ono miihon seven hundred thousand added to their number during the eight subsequent years, have not interfered with any iudustry, nor jostled auy laborer 011 the wide field of our republic ; but have added materially t o its prosperity and its power. And the ob? server, of whom we speak, will reflect upon the fact that we iahabit an almost virgin continent-a territory capable of sustaiuiug between three and four thousand millions of souls; that we trample under foot a mineral wealth such as cannot be exhausted by the labors of a hundred thousand years; that the great need 0* the land is labor-on and on for countless centuries. What machines have doue for the manu? factures of England, immigration will do for the agricultural development of the Southern States. It will multiply power and power multiplied is national wealth and greatness. So of our mineral treasures; iron and copper, gold and and silver, marble and slate and granite, kaolin and marl and coal, and whatever else Nature garners iu her secret vaults, are idly awaiting the ad? vent of labor. If England's coal bed, but three hundred square miles in extent, moves, as we are told, 18,000,000 of spindles, what results may we not anticipate when thc vast coal bed of the South, extending from Ma? ryland to Alabama, has been fairly opened, and the iron lieids running continuous with il even begin to be worked ! So far as the Chinese laborer is concerned, both Australia and California show that he can be utilized. He is frugal aud tractable. He is peaceable, contented and industrious. He needs direction, like every other subject of what is called a paternal government; but he can and will work. We have always accorded to him a certain culture, refined enough after its sort-a wonderful dexterity of hand and ingenuity of invention. But the Pacific Railroad prove3 what hard, pa? tient, efficient work those thin children of the East can do. We need them among U3 ; and let us remember that they are entitled, when they come, to our sympathy and pro? tection. LAND COMMISSIONER and Senator C. P. Les? lie declares that the Statement? made iu TUB CHARLESTON NEWS, in regard to the workings of the Land Commlsison, are-totally untrue. Wo give the denial ot Mr. Leslie for what it ls wot iii. At the same time, we lug lo express the confident opinion Hutt our Columbia cor respondent, would not h ive made the charges, had he not been in possession of information I suilicieiit lo convince him that they had a substantial foundation in fact. Looking Blur. Our contemporary tho Columbia Ph'onix takes a gloomy view of things, and is of the opinion that 'the agricultural interests o? "this State have received a blow" front the recent Labor Convention which "will be '.felt another year." We do not apprehend such a result. At the opening of the convention the temper of the delegates was warm and violent, and it seemed probalde that the extravagance of their demanda would make it impossible for lite Suite press to give them either coun? tenance or support. Their excitement, however, soon subsided, ami what the con? vention finally settled upon, in the form of a m?morial to the General Assembly, contains little that is objectionable, and much that meets with our cordial approval. We assume that the white people of the State desire to be both just and liberal, in dealing witli the laboring population. The man who cheats the laborer, whether by "due bills" or by the legerdemain of arith? metic, deserves to be scourged out of the society of all decent people. Nothing is to be gained by knavery and trickstering, and our farmers and p'-nters know it. All that Hie Labor Convention asks for, is the adoption of certain measure.? which will, in the opinion of the delegates, give to the laborers a more complete protection against fraud than they have hitherto en? joyed. They make no demands tor extra? vagant wages-all that they demand is pro? tection. This they ought to have, and will have. And if by peaceful combination and concert of action they can improve their condition, and make life more enjoyable, the whole State will have reason to re I joice. _ _ _ TIIK Cuban resolutions introduced by Elliott, the kinky war-horse of the State House of Representatives, have actually passed, and South Carolina stands pledged-as far as the di neral Assembly can pledge it-to give "the last man and last dollar" to the United Slates Government, if that excellent institution should go to war with Spain. The ''last (white) man" our sable legislators may be both willing and anxious to offer up ns a sac? rifice on the Cuban altar, but unless the war comes quick the "last dollar" will have finally disappeared in the capacious pockets of Scott. Kimpton, Elliott, and the other light-fingered gentry of "the party." Tun members of the Legislature declare that Judge Carpenter has beeu faithless to Iiis judi? cial trust. What they mean is, that lie hxs not feared to tread on the toes of "the party.'' nnd has decided the cases brought before him ac? cording to his understanding or the law of the land. Under the circumstances, Radical cen? sure should be more honorable than Radical praise. TUE railroad lobbyists, undaunted by Scott's message and the Senate resolution, have as? sembled at Columbia, and propose to com? mence operations at once. Al present, thc market for votes is steady, with little doing. WRIGHT, McKinlay and DeLarge. all color? ed, enjoyed the pleasures of a verbal triangu? lar duel, in the House on Tuesday. They abused each other roundly, and then kissed and made friends. Nobody was hurt. QLo Hent. HOUSES, FARMS, STORES, ROOMS, Ac., now vacant, can readily tie rented bv advertising them in this column."
