A CORRESPONDENT of the Shanghat Courier, elting of the questions of Directors and Auditors, says -

J

Two questions of considerable and gene. ral importance have just been discussed in the Rougkong papers, viz., the evile con sequent on baving speculating direstora on the boards of public companies, and on sharabrokers being appointed to audit the accounts of such undertakings. These evils have long been known, though recent events may have brought them more prominently before the public, and are too manifest to need dwelling upon. But whilet it in diffi- cult for abareholders to protect themsolves against the action of speculative directors, It is very easy to avoid the other ground of complaint: the appointment of sharebrokes as auditors. I believe there are only one or two companies in Shanghai where such appointments are allowed; and I shall be surprised if the shareholders in those con- cerns do not discontinue the practice, es- pecially as there are plenty of competent and independent auditors to be had.

Referring to the above letter, the Editor

Possibly -the other companies recognise the evil and on it. The share, "put their foot down holders in the companies which have not For adopted the sound principle of electing as auditors gentlemon in independent Boston moonucated with brokering, should take the earliest opportunity of doing so.

Or making of books in America on "The Round Trip" there certainly is ne end. The latest is written by John Codman and published at Now York. It purports to be a narrative of a trip from New York to the Pacific Coast via Panama, and back overland. It contstva a chapter on "The Chiness Problem," and has the following Interpretation of the anti-Chinese sentiment prevalling there :—

While there can be no question that Kearneylem and newspaper enterprise for political purposes are at the bottom of all the anti-Chiness agitation, there is one element in it that has not been considered. It is a bumiliating confession, but there is a dread among business men that the Obiness merchants, by their astuteness and quick-witted comprehension of commerce, will take the profits out of their pockets, as they are accused of taking the bread out of the months of Irish laborers.

that it will be forced upon him and that he will be compelled by the people to again

become President.

Then you have not talked with General Grant directly on the subject of his nomi- nation, and do not know, positively, an to whether he will accept or decline 1-I think he will be forced to accept it.

Mr Boris then went off at a tangent to ex. patiate on the goodness and greatness of the ex-President. The reporter, seeing nothing was to be got out of him on the Presidential queation, got him next on to the monster welcome, à scheme which is now-happily, it seems to be generally agreed-abandoned. Asked whether he had heard anything about the grand reception to be tondered Grant; of the hundreds of special care which were to come loaded with excursionista from the Fastern States, in order that the returning here might be met with suitable pomp and honor, Mr Borie said he had heard all about it at Shanghai. Asked if he believed that the monster enterprise would be undertaken, the ex-Secretary gave an explicit answer, and said that he himself would be among the throng. It is probable that the General having also "beard all about it at Shangbei" had then so altered his plans as to frustrafe the kind intentious of ble friends which were entirely out of harmony with his own modest and more sensible feelings,

It was difficult to explain to a Chinaman the exact position of General Grant. The republican ides is not easily translated into Oriental tongues. The Chinaman cannot conceive how one who had been a ruler of the nation should abandon his post or how A ruler having been deposed by a nation, any one should care further about him, These were anomalies unknown to the learned and wise in Chine, and since it be our consols and diplomatic agents have been came known that the General was coming instructing the Chinese officials in the elementary principles of republican govern. ment
