It abows conclusively that our Daich friends have not imposed the system upon the Chiness, but how simply avalled themselves of the existing state of affaire. The Chinese here living under our laws, prefer to obey their benomen, and it would be wise for our Govern ment to follow the example of Netherlande Indin, and torn these headuca to account. Of course, the only way to do this effectually is to how the diferent tribes to choose their own beads, and to the jurisdiction of hendmat to a certain district. The beadman could battle all petty disputes between men of their own clan, and it is only when the dispute is between men of two or more clans that any difficulty wuld ariae; this, however, could usually casily be settled by arbitration between the respective leaders. It is, we know, opposed to the natural prejudices of Englishmen to ad. mit any other method of goverzubeut, ur Ruy system of law inve English law, in a place ander English rule. But it has been shown that the bracee having already their headman, whom they obey in spite of all the efforts of Government to make every man a free agent and euch being the care, it then becue a vital -question whether advantage should not be taken of this to make the people obey the law of the land.
