Kashing, Sept. 13. After an absence of several weeks I find things at Kashing as quiet and peaceful as if the Republic were thoroughly established.
Our Magistrate, Mr. Fang, who had the grit to take the helm when the ship was in rough seas during the revolution, has been transferred elsewhere. That he made mistakes perhaps none will deny—who would not, under such circumstances—but he was willing to grapple with problems which others would not tackle and had to burn the midnight oil many times while pudding over their solution.
We certainly have great deal for which to thank him and wish him well wherever he may be located. A farewell dinner was given him by the business men of the city. At present we have only a Tocum as our magistrate has not yet been appointed.
