COLUMBIA, S. C. . Jlhursd ty -doming. Joly 14. 1670. Th? eta Ines? Question. We have fou nd not a little light turo w u upon this subject by a letter in the New York World, from N. B. Dennyp, late editor Hong Kong (China) Mail. This intelligent writer gives an account of Chinese immigration to this country. He Btntes tbat there aro two distiuct class of these immigrante, viz: coolies and. /ree emigrants. The "contract coolies" como hero under an engagement to work for a curtain sum for a cortan prioe. The "free emigrants" come like other emi? grants, unfiltered, to improve their con? dition. The write, to whom wo have referred, says of the Chinese: "Before psrtiog from the coolie at hts depot* there are two matters apon which I would remark. I have already Baid that the average aro of an extremely low class. But oven to these tho extrava? gant assertions oiroalated as to their re? ligions and moral habits do not apply. ' The majority of all laboring Chinese ure. -if they can be said to have any religion .at all, Buddhists. No one would, of ooaree, praise paganism, but it may be well to remark that, however absurd its tenets, Buddhism is essentially pure in its total absenco of those obsceno legends and practices which formed the ? mythological hutory and daily habits of the much-admired Kunian and Grecian civilizations. As regards morality, the Southern Chineso rauk favorably amongst civilized nations, tiud are immeasurably superior to tho Turks, Greeks, Egyptians aud other nations, whoso well-known vioious tendencies havo never operated to exeludo them from: unfettered intercourse with the Anglo-Saxon races. I pass over ns scarcely worthy of serious refutation thu amusing, but utterly untrue, storied cir? culated as to their 'rat pies' and 'cock? roach soup.' Few but rcsideuts of tho East aro possibly aware that the Chinese enjoy u good and well-merited reputation as cooks, both in respect of their clean? liness and skill. I have stood in na? tive shops, in towns far removed from foroigu influence or intercourse, watch? ing the preparation of nativo food for native customers, and can conscientious? ly assert that I havs seldom seen any? thing which could offend the most fastidious palates. As to their peculiar manner of eating rice, it is not more disagreeable than the coarse, animal-like way in vogue amongst the lowest class of Europeans across tho Atlantic, and I have heard a well educated Chinaman remark that 'people who were so filthy as to use pocket-hankerchiefs instead of slips of paper, had but little right to quarrel with othors on tho score of nice? ness. "Un?-, to turn from the digression into which I have been betray jd, thora is, us I have remarked, another class of Chinese immigrants, who ?ure not imported to cheapen the labor market, but have vol? untarily come over to seek employment. The social problems raised by thoso un? welcome additions to tho population aro precisely those which havo for so many .years eugaged attention iu Great Britain. Frunce, and other countries, and have led to tho formation of Trades Unions on tho ono hand, and Masters' Associa? tions on the other. They are: First, Has the master a right to pay what wages he chooses, if he can fiud auy ono to ac? cept them; and second, hos the laborer a right to accept any scale of remunera? tion offered, if it suit him to do so? As? suming for the moment that it is possi? ble to prohibit contract emigration, what is to bo done with the ordinary Chi mi? rna u? Hus ho, or hus he not, thc samo rights (of labor) us his European compe? titor? Nono of the arguments adduced against him as a mere resident uro worth a moment's attention. He is sober, in? dustrious, peaceful, ingenious, and sav iug. He seeks to make no converts to his own belief, and rapidly assimilates, in many respects, to tho people around him. His ouo crime is that he will work for lower wages. But, if the Constitu? tion of the United States bo not merely wuste paper, hu i* strictly within tho law in so doing. Tho dilemma is trouble? some enough miJ it is morn than strange tliRt no one has as yet hit upon thu ob? vious and legal solution of tho diffi? culty." As to tho threatened "Chinese inunda? tion," of which wo havo had so many fears expressed, Mr. Dennys soys: " I now como to t'?e question of num? bers, and it would seem that the exag? geration to which I havo alluded extends to this matter also. Whilo Chili, Peru, and Havana have been swamped by the importation, tho United States have as yet absorbed but a moro trifle. As Mr. Schurz recently statod in tho Senate, the annual influx, deducting returns, has scarcely exceeded (3,000. But tho exag? geration T alindo to is not confined to .tho mere statement of numbers. There appears to bo a sort of general idea cur? rent that the eyes of all China arc turned Eastward, and that millions ure ready to sweep'down upon oar We dem shores and flood the labor markets of Ibo West? ern Stutos. Now, if wo can imagino n continuous lino drawu within tho coast of China, at a distance of twenty miles, it may safely be said that not one tuan in half a million has over ovou heard that such ii placo us America exists. Fo? reign intercourse and influence in China may be compared to tho nibble of u rat in tho rind of n largo cheese. Wo have established ourselves on tho fringe, and ?ho name of 'foreigner' is possibly .nown to 25,000,000 of tho people. But behind those como some 370,000,000 to whom our -.very existenco is unknown, and would bo a matter of absolute indif? ference if kuowu. From which I con? clude that tho terrifying pictures of nu overwhelming immigration with which we 'iavo of late been favored, have been ?volved rather from the inner oonsoioua uoas of the writers than , from a know? ledge of facts. Briefly summed up, tho oonolusiq-jd are warranted by'faot#.,fV He holds that those aro tho conclusions warranted by tho facts: "1. .That the social , oharaoteristics of Chinese emigrants, and their probable ?umbers, are misrepresented and over? estimated. "2. That Chinese emigration for pur? poses of settlement has not yet com? menced to any appreciable extent. "3. That apart from any question of the supply of labor or tho objections raised to its injury or benefit to the na? tion, it lies with the United States Go? vernment to check it if necessary by a simple appeal to the reciprocal engage? ments eutered into by the Chinese." That is, so far as the question-what shall become with tho Chinese-is con? cerned, Mr. Dennys solves it by asimple suggestion. He says that this oountry, if it wants to koop the Chinamen out, or to moderate the stream, has but to en? force the terms of the Burlingame Treaty. This treaty expressly provides for reci? procity between the United States and China. Until, therefore, China is thrown open to this country-whioh is not the case-tho United States may place the samo restrictions upon tho Chinese that they placo upou the foreigner. PEACE OR WAR.-Tho Spanish ques? tion, which ha3 precipitated the great, couflict now so nenrly impending over Europe, is but tho decisive occasion of that couflict. Its elements were pre? pared at the peace of Prague in I860. They have beeu seething und fermenting ever since. There eau bo no stublo peace iu Europo until they are worked out of tho body politic of tho continent. I It is useless uow to speculate on what might or might not havo been douo to j eliminate them from the field of public I interests by statesmanship, by forbcar I auco, by high and reasonable views of j true patriotism, aud of tho true pros? perity of nations.

The Chinese being in every respect a mee vastly superior to tho negro, we would li ko to know upon what reasona? ble grounds the Senate of tho United Stntcs presumed to debar tho furnier from naturalization while admitting thc hitter. The exclusion is not only iu direct violation of every rule of good sense ami of good taste, but also of tho Burlingame treaty, not to speak of the radical theory of universal equality and fraternity. The large Nubian lion attached to Col. Ames' circus, became restive, while parading tho streets of Nashville, ?ind attacked his keeper, injuring him se? verely. The outsiders immediately at? tacked his lionship with their revolvers and soon despatched him. The keeper, it is thought, will recover.

PRETTY WOMEN,--Af tor ail, is ?ho world so very absurd ia ita io?o ol pretty women? Is wpmanWre#. ridiculous in her;ehaae aJber beauty? A pretty wo? man is dbiufj; woman's work in the world, not making ;,*peecbes nor making pud? dings, bat making life aaunier una more beautiful. Man has forsworn beauty altogether." it ia hopeless to recall the Periclean idea of manhood, to insist on the development of personal beauty as not loss manly than that of personal vir? tue, to demand tho grane of Canning from our slatesmeu or tho dignity of Robortson from our divines. Tho world of action is a world of ugliness, nnd the good-looking fellow who starts for the prizes soou discovers what Madame de G n ardin calls le malheur d'etre beau. Ho is guessed to be frivolous, ho is assumed to bo poetic, thore ure whispers that his morals are no better than they should be. In a society resolute to be ugly thero is no post for an Adonis but that of n model or a Guardsman. But woman does for mankind what man hus ceased to do. She cliugs to tho Periclean ideal. Her aim from very childhood is to be beautiful. Even as a echool-girl she notes the progress of her charms, tho deepening color of ber hair, the growing symmeutry of her arm, thu ripening con? tour of her cheek. We watch with a silent interest the mysterious reveries of the maiden; she is dreaming of a coming beauty, and pautiug for the glories of eighteen. Insensibly she becomes nu nrtist, her room a studio, her glass au academy. Tho hours work with her, but she works with the hours. What silent musings before her mir? ror, what dreams, what discoveries, what disappointments, what careful gleaming* of experiouce, what sudden flashes of in? vention! Tho joy of her toilet is the joy of Buphaello over his canvas, of Michael Angelo before his marble. She is creat? ing beauty iu tho silence and loneliness of her chamber; she grows like any great art-creation, tho result of patience, ol hope, of a thousand delicate touchings and retouchings. But even to thc Gioconda, tho moment of perfectness, ol completion, comes nt last; tho master takes bis work from thc easel and gives il to tho ages. Woman is never perfect, uever completo. A restless night undue: tho beauty of tho day; sun-shine blur.1 the evanescent coloring of her cheek: frost uips tho tender outlines of her fact iuto midden harshness. Her pencil hut ever to bo at work even while tho hours work for her, and tho hours work against her at last. Caro ploughs its lines acrost her brow; motherhood destroys th< elastic lightness of ber form; tho blooa of her cheek; the quick flash of her eye fade aud vuuish as tho years go by. Bu woman is still true to her ideal. Sin won't know when sho is beateu, and sin manages to steal fresh victories eveu it her defeat. She iuvonts new coucep tiona of womanly gruce; she rallies a thirty, und fronts us with tho beauty o womanhood; shu makes a Inst staud u sixty with tho beauty of oge. It is tin same great artist who exhibits year afte year, but whoso stylo ranges from tin girlish innoceuce of a Fra Angelico h tho severo matronngo of a Zurbaran She fulls, liko Ctosar, wrapping be mantle round her-"buried in woolen 'twould a saint provoke!" Death listen pitifully to tho longings of a lifo-time und the wrinkled face smiles back its IHN cold smile with something of tho pretti ness of eighteen. A SPANISH VIEW OF CENTRALIZATION. - Senor Castellar, the celebrated Spauis orator und liberal, hus recently bee making a powerful speech in the Spauis Cortes upon centralization. In it he rc viows, quite at length, our system r, government, and very appropriate! awards to it the merit of being the bel iu tho world. And so it was, and so i would bo still, if it had ouly beeu ad ministered after tho designs of its io ti iii ers. He f 11s into the grievous error o supposing that our late civil war ha strengthened the system, instead of weal euiug it. Ho is blind to tho fact that a such systems must rest upon tho cousei of tho governed; that the instant fore is resorted to, in order to hold it togethei that instant the cumulations of powe; und tho various checks which distingu?s such a government become useless, au centralization begins to take the pine of decentralization. States that have t bo held together by the power of tl sword, aud that have to come into tl Union as conquered provinces, refuse amnesty, aud treated with studied iudij nity aud insult-it is a farce aud a frau to pretend that such communities go ver themselves. They are governed by tl oentral power, and aro as much crea tn rt of that power as the provinces of Polau are tho creatures of the Czar. Tho r suit has boen that tho power usurped I govern and harass the Southern State is now being used by a Cougressioni oligarchy to control and regulate tho di mestic institutions of tho Northet States. Wheu our fathers formed tl Federal Constitution asa Government i cemented powers, they formed a repel lie. They formed it on the principle i "tho consent of tho governed." Tin formed it with cumulations of powe in the people and the States. Our who Government was a system of checks at balances. It is so no longer, for tin system seems to have perished in tl shock of civil war. Senor Castellar wofully mistaken in supposing wo ha1 coma out of that collision uninjured, nt with all our vigor unimpaired.-jVt York News.

KILLED.-On Saturday evening, Levi Garrott, white, was killed by Geo. Gor don, colored, on Ool. l?e rs wick's place, some ten miles from tho Cbitjfl Houbo, ia'.thia District. The circumstances, ns given by Sheriff paysinger, aro os fol? lows: On Saturday, tho wife of Gordon severely out a dog belonging to Gartet, with a noe; aud upon Mrs. Garrett's in? terfering, the woman attempted to cut her with the samo implement, but the two daughters of the former interfering it was prevouted, and quiet wus restored. Garrott, upon becoming acquainted with the circumstances, started, with u little sou about 13 years old, for tho cabin of Gordou, nnd getting there ho called the woman ont. Sho refused. Finding she would not come out, he threw oue of three rocks be had picked up, into the house, whereupon Gordon raised his gun standing near by, presented and fired. Garrett criod out to his son, "He has killed me, let us kill him," ami sprung in and made un attept to grapple, but full dead. The sou was caught by tho negro, aud a joint of ouo of his lingers bitten oil. Dy this time the parties iu Garrett's house nearby, aud who had beeuat sup? per, came to the sceue, aud tho mutter ended. Gordon gave himself np on Sun? day morning, and is now in jail.

Tho hosn-carriage of the Goodwill Company was thrown into Schuylkill River by tho Philadel? phia Engine Company, after a small tire. Subsequently, for tho purpose of draw? ing the Philadelphia Company near the premises of the Goodwill, tho largo flouring mill of Rowland & Ervcin, broad and Race streets, was set on fire and entirely destroyed, with a number of surrounding buildings. Loss heavy; no insurance. Tho papers ure loud in demands for a paid fire department, in consequence of tho arsons and riot by the volunteer department. The Good Will and Philadelphia Eugine Companies have been put ont of service. Tho pro? perty destroyed by tho Broad street fire was valued at $100,000; insured for 840,000. A letter dated at Havana, Cuba, has been received by a gentleman iu Wash? ington, stating that an agreement has been entered upon by Prussia, England and Spain to settle tho so-called Cuban question. The sovereignty of Cuba, thu letter says, would bo transferred to Prussia tinder certain stipulations, in which England would be interested, and the first named power would give to the people of the island a free nutouomical constitutiou. Agents from Europe are now iu Cuba and in this country work? ing to secure tho acceptance of this plan by tho Cubans und their leaders. The object of this combination. It is far? ther said, is to put a check to tho in? creasing power of tho United States, holding a permanent influence of Euro? pean govern meut iu America. In North Kingston, R.

Smith, wife of Jere Smith, farmer, took from theirbed two children, aged respectively three years and eleven weeks, and drowned them in a rain-water cistern, and then drowned herself.
