October 28th,

The lists of the successful candidates in the Eterary examinations have been out several days. Out of about twenty thousand competitors one hundred and forty-five obtained the degree of (KU Ken) and twenty the half-rank of (Fa Pang), it is believed by some that only about one half of these are really passed on their own merits, the remainder got through by saying the nader examiners to recommend their essays. An incident will serve to show what is done some times. The richest man in Nanking, a Meham means, spent over "Tis, 1,000 and successfully bribed the under examiners, The names are not announced, but a certain number is giren to each candidate. As there are three spells of examloations, and the successful number of each spellare announced, it became known that a certain number was successful, although no essay, had even been given fa, as the man who had spent so much to buy his honours was sick and could not attend. Another ambitious but ignorant fellow bought the number and would have passed, but unfortunately the head examinér had nothing to do with the game, and therefore would not pass the essay. The head examiner barely missed losing his rank, if not bis head, for this.

..

The officials are diligently enquiring into the cases of the thirty Kolao Hul men now in duvance vile. These used to be able to walk to the yames for examination ; it is a grim comment on Chinese judicial modes that most of them | have to be carried now. Poor wretches the one comfort is that, even if the Kolao Hul be quite innocent of China's present troubles, most of these prisoners are really the bad characters of their neighbourhoods who more or less deserve, beavy punishment The Hunopras, named Tang, whose arrest in a velves shop at Habkow for distributing anti-foreign placards was recorded in your columns on 19th June, received as his punishment goo blows and was deported to Hunan. So far, so good, but it is a simple rule of-three sum to find out the punishment due to his principals. He and others here are the avowed tools or at best agents of the Husan gentry whose names are well-known to the authorities. When are the Teotal Chou and his companions in crime to be brought to the bar of an outraged justice ?. It is understood that there is some bitch in the treatment of the Huang pawnbrokers. The Vicerry is determined on conviction, but it is said that the Fatal: (a Hunanese) is equally determined to shield them. as is reported, the actual publisher is a connection of Li Han-chang, this intrusion of a powerful name has not made the Viceroy's tark casier.

Meanwhile we are enjoying the sultry Jul! which occasionally feels like genuine peace, but generally suggests a coming thunderstorm. W. C Daily News.
