There can be very little doubt in. any one's mind as to the estimate which those who signed the above document had formed of the connection like an ugly phantom, is do feristically shadowed in the boar sentence. We have the highest auch rity for stating that one
one only would be placed by man of average intelligence upon phrase, it is known that the foreigner Pitman was a very good friend for this Governor," when used in the connection in which it appears That Mr Joha Pitman received a sum of fifteen thou sand dollars for, it may be services rendered to the Monopolist, might in itself be open to objection, in a case where no great assistance ought to have been necessary; but such a thing might or might not be explained away by the allegation that it was merely a Chinese mode of doing business or allowing gratitude. But when the reason why he received that amount in a lump sum is so unmistakeably aspect which more than justifies all that has been sold and felt during the last eighteen months in this Colony and elsewhere. Whatever may be the real naked truth about this matter, the fact remains, that the Chinese belief in the high and incorruptible integrity of in British officials hos received a shook. That much is perfectly clear, and even although the personal honour of Go- vernor Hennessy may now be as irre- proachable as ever it was, the facta re- main that twelve Chinese merchants hate signed a document which leaves that question in an unsatisfactory posi- tion; that this document has been made public and is on the records of the Su preme Court; and that, as go explanation whatever has beeu vouchsafed on the point, the Chinese Community are im pressed with the inferences which 'that document suggested

is not established by facts. Governor Hennessy is an administrator whose Faculty for ruling has yet to be dere Joped, whose powers of creating discord are unsurpassed, and whose crotchety theories of government vitiate every thing he attempts. But we have yet to learn that he is not, in his own peculiar fashion, an honest Governor That his indiscretion knows no limits has been abundantly shown on innumerable occa sinus; and his almost unpardozable thirst for assembling around him croatares that will do his will in his own way, is probably the particular indiscretion which has led him into the perilous position in which he is now placed, There is, therefore, the most urgent necessity why the entire facts.connected with the judication of the Opinm Monopoly should be made public ; and we think that, if no stens are taken to effect this desirable end in this Colony, the task should be undertaken by the adthorities at the Colonial Office. There is probably no one excellence which har tended to place the British official so high. The publication of this issue commenced in the estimation of the Chinese as that of incorruptible integrity, but at 7.50 p.m

the 8th of September 1878, we drew to the Under Secretary for the Colonies attention to certain rumours, and to a calling for an explanation of uneasy feeling, that existed concerning points to which we bare briefly alluded the adjudication of the Opium Farm Monopoly of this Colony. That some- thing was amiss had been generally felt months before that date; but no allusion had been made to it until a paragraph appeared in a Japan contemporary on the subject. Recognising, as all mast (Per E. E. 4. & C.
