HONGKONG, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1883. From various sources which ought to be re- liable, we have received different accounts as to the actual status of the vexed Tong King question. As the topic is one of momentary import, we will endeavor to lay before our readers certain facts and statements which are of more than usual significance, and which, we think, will tend to show that the idea of a war between France and China is, for the present at least, a very remote contingency.

THE report, probably untrue, that a man who was hanged in Arkansas a few weeks ago was after- ward resuscitated by his friends and is now alive, opens up an interesting question. The sentence of the Court was that he should be hanged by the neck until he was dead, and the officers may insist that it is their strict legal duty to hang him again, and to keep on hanging him until the fact of his death is indisputably established. On the other hand, his friends may claim that he -has already complied with the demand of the law. He was hanged by the executioner until the phy- sician appointed to that service pronounced him dead. He was cut down as dead, transferred to his friends as dead, and in the eyes of the law he execute a man twice for the same crime, or to hang a man who is legally dead? JAMES H.
