Court of Censors, presents a memorial denouncing Akotachun, the newly appointed Governor of Shansi. He states that Akotachun. who was formerly an officer of the Board of Works, had even then an indifferent reputation, and when he obtained a provincial appointment he became the subject of a great deal of talk. The memorialist had occasion twice last year to pass through the Province of Anhui from jendtoend. Akotachun was the Provincial Treasurer there, and his greed for money had become a matter of public notoriety. There was a general feeling of indignation against hiro, because he neglected public business and left it to be managed by. his private servants. But through the goodnatured assistance of the Governor he was able to hold his post in quiet. In Shan where he has been appointed Governor, the people have recently experienced a {severe drought, which has caused them to be in such a state of excitement that they have cut down the telegraph poles. They want a strong and kindly Governor; and if a corrupt and worthless one be sent there, trouble will assuredly arise.—Decree already published.
