AN EXCEPTION FROM CANTON. To the Editor of the "CHINA MAIL."
Canton, June 19, 1876. SIA,I doubt not that my Countrymen generally will approve the general purport of your leader of the 17th inst, respecting American Consuls, especially in the light of the revelations to Siam; and you have
so fully set forth the facts and consequent | requirements of the case, that my sole object in now addressing you in to request you to be no considerate as to include the present Consul for the United States at Canton in your category of "high and honorable exceptions" for I am confid- sat that Mr Lincoln has already impressed his Countrymen as a capable, as well as honorable, Officer.
