THE EXHIBITION The Sunday Question Again. POPULAR FEELING AGAINST CLOSING The Working Classes Shut Out of the Grounds. Puapetena, June 3, 1876. Acool fresh breeze to-day tempered the heat of the Bun, and in the afternoon thousands visited the Cen- tennial grounds. As Saturday is somewhat of a half hol- iday, many of the working people used the only oppor- tunity they have during the whole week of getting a glimpse of the wonders of which they have heard so much, There is something cruel in this deprivation, Toa large, intelligent and industrious class of Phi delphians the Exhibition is virtually as tar away as if it were in Paris or Vienna Inaccessibility is often equivalent to distance, and this is a plain case of “Thou art so near and yet so far.’ Whatcan be seen in half a day of this immense show? The very Dest that a man who works all the rest of the secular days ofthe week can do with his Saturd afternoon—when he 1s lucky enough to got one—is to ride around im the sun and look at the buildings, as we look at trees and telegraph poles from railroad train. To enter any one department would be almost absurd, abd only a vague idea of the extent and charac. ter of the Exhibition can be obtained in a few hours. It would be far better for these people to abandon the Centennial altogether, and spend their little hohday at Goorgo’s Hill, where, if thoy know Browning's poetry they cin quote his “Inn Album’ verse, “Hail! calm acclivity, salubrious spot,” ana if they know Bayard Taylor’s rhyme they can look down upon the kiosks and towers and flags of the Exhibition, and think of the “damned obliquity, opprobrious plot” of the Com- missioners. A SATURDAY AFTERNOON ON THE GROUNDS, The Injustice done to the people by the closing of the Exhibition on Sundays was painfully apparent to-day, when one could see the weary step and the anxious faces of men and women, with their children, and sometimes a woman carrying her child in her arms, hastening from building to building ana trying to sco all that they could Jor fifty cents in a single afternoon, Their feelings must have resembled those of persons who are to be hung at a certain title and who count the minutes a8 they pass, half wishing to prolong the agony and half wishing that the thing was pver. Some of the departments close at an early honr; for instance, Horticustural Hall, the doors of any which are shut’ at five o'clock.’ One ot the newspaper progeriy advises. thatthe hall hail be kept open later on Saturdays, would be of little ad: And by working yet L think an hour or two mo: Vantage to the working classe classes I lo not mean m dig and build and tor mulutude of clerks, salesi ers, &c., persous of some cullure and inteltigence, could understand the value of the Exhibition, I’bila- deiphia is a city of building associations, common echoois and lecture bureaus, and itis not the rich atone who nave a decent education and intellectual apprecia- tion. jhe week. A holiday to them 18 harder to get now than it usually is, for a day's work is worth more to their employers, It ts naturally the desire of their employes to make the most of the opportanity Which (he great number of visitors to the city affords, Those who imagine that the Centennial cei created a holiday time for Philadelpbia are mistaken, On the contrary, the Philadelphians expeet it will re- vive business, THE TRUE REMRDY POR THE RVIL, The only way to remove this injustice to the great m: jority of the citizens, and to that vast population w surrounds I elphia in at least tive States York, New Jersey, tand—is to open tue Centennial Extibition on Sundays. Alongthe lines of railroad of which Pailadelptia is the edftre are hundreds of towns whose people would be glad to visit the city on the day of rest. But these are all forbidden by the rnies of the manage- ment, Vhiladeiphia itsell’ wants the Exhibition open en Sunday, but the Commissioners who came trom other States don't. long to what I bave described as work- ingmen und have found the feeling against the Com- missioners very bitter, Many of them declare that they will not go to the Exhibition at all until they atrend it on S The venerable Lucretia Moit pressed this feeling recently at a public meeting when she described the closing of the buildings on that day as an outrage on the intelligence and integrity of the American people. Lf the question could ve leit to 4 rote 1 Wouid be decided overwhelmingiy against the Commission THE UNITKD STATES GKOLOGICAL SURVEY, In the Government (usiding, at the extreme western end, are iocated the exhibits ot the United ological Survey, in charge of Protessor F, 1t will be remembered by many readers that several parties were sent out into the far s last summer tor the purpose of exploring on the Pacific Slope, which abounds in mural remains.

Pui.apenrusa, June 8, 1876, Although the Art Department was opened, and ap- parently in order upon the first day of the Exhibition, there has been seurcely a room in which some altera- | tions have not since been made, So many obstacles have been placed in the path of the managers that it ts surprising that there is not more confusion than there In the first pice the Selection and Hanging com. | mittees could not work in harmony, und the | pictures were pouring in from all parts of the country with no place to receive them, The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts behevolently opened its doors and allowed the works to remain upon its walls until the art buildings were in fit condition to receive them.

A MEMORIAL TO PRESIDENT GRANT IN DE- FENCE OF THE BURLINGAME TREATY—A WELL WRITTEN DOCUMENT. ‘The following memorial to the President of the United States fully explains fiscif, 1t is the reply of the Chinese, through the Presidents of the Six Companies, to the movement now being so energetically pustied to stop the tide of Chinese ewgration aud head off the attempts to repeal or modify the Burlingame treaty. Jt is particularly in reply to the address and resolu- tions of the late anti-Chinese mass meeting in this city To His Excellency U. 8, Graxt, President of the Unitea ‘States of America:— sik—In the absence of any consular representative we, the undersigned, in the vame and in behalf of the Chinese people vow in America, would. most respect- fully present for your consideration the followiug state- ments regarding the subject of Chinese emigration to this country 1 We understand that it has always been tho settled policy of your honorable government to welcome gration to your shores from all countries withous let or hindrance, The Chinese are not the only people who have crossed tho ocean to seek a remdence in this jand, * 11, The treaty of amity and peace between the United States and China mukes special mention of the rights and privileges of Americans in China, apid also of the rights and privileges of Chinese in America, ILL, American swamers, subsidized by, your honor- able government, have visited the ports of China and ited our people to come to this country to find em- Joyment and unprove their condition, Our people fore been comiug to this country for the last twenty- fiye years, but up to the present time there are only 150,000 Chinese in all these Unitea States, 60,000 of whom are in California and 30,000 im the city of san Francisco, THY CHINESE IN AMERICA, IV, Our people in this couniry for the most part have been peaceable, law-abiding and mdustrious, ‘They periormed the largest part of the unskilled labor in the construction of the Central Pacific Rail- road atid also of ail other railroads on tuis coast. They have found uselul and remaner, ative employinent in all tae manulacturing establ ments of. this coast, in agricultural pursuits and mm family service, W benetiting themselves with the honest reward of their daily toil, they. have given satistaction to their employers and have lett all the re- sults Of their inaustry to enrich the Staie, They have not displaced white laborers Irom these positions, but have simply,muitipiied the industrial enterprises of the country. V. The Chinese have neither attempted nor desired to interlere with the established order of things in this coantry, either of politics or religion, They have opened ho whiskey sujoons tor the purpose of dealing out potson and degrading their fellow-men. They have promptly paid their duties, thoir texes, theirrents and their debts, 1. It has often occurred about the time of the State fnd yoveral elections that political agitators have Btirred up the minds of the people im hostility to the Chinese, but turmerly the hostility Bas ugually subsided alter the elections were over. THE WG MERTING. VIL, At the present time an intense excitement and bit- ter hostility against the Chinese 1p this Jand and against further Chinese emigration bus bevn created in the minds of the people, led on by His Honor the Mayor of San Francisco and his uxsuciates in office, and approved by His Kxcellency the Governor and other great men ofthe State, These great men gathered sume 20,000 of the people of this city together on the eveu.ng of Aprit 5 aud adopted an aduress and resolutions against Chinese emigration. They haye since appo.nted three men (one of whom We understand to be the author of the address and resolutions) to carry that address and tnose resolutions to Your Excellency and to presen further objections, if possibie, against the emigration of the Chinese to this country. VUL In that address numerous charges are made against our peuple, some of which are highly colored and sevsationsi, and others, baying no foyndation whatever in fact, are only calculated to mislead honest minds and create an unjust prejudice against us. Wo wish most respectfully to call your attention, and through you the atiention of Congress, to some ot the statements of that rematkaole paper, and ask a caretal comparison of the statements there made with the facts of the case. CHINESE WOMEN, (a.) It is charged against us that not one virtuous Chinawowan has been brought to this country, and that here we have vo wives nor children. The fact is that already a few hundred Chinese tamilies ha brought he These are all chaste, pare, keope home, not known on the pablic street, There ure also Among usa few hundred, perhaps a thousand, Chineso children born in America, ihe reason why so tew of our fampiles are brought to this country 18 because it is ustom and against tbe inclination of women to go so far from home, ana because the irequent outbursts af popular indignation Against our people have not encouraged us to bring our fainilies with us agaiust their will, Quite a number of Chinese prostitutes have been brought to this country by unprincipied Coinamen, bat these at first were brought from China at the instigation and for the gratitication of white men. And even at the preset time ft is commonly reported that a part of the pro- ceeds of this Villainous traitic goes to enrich a certain class of men belonging to this henorable nation—a class of men, too, who are under solemn obligations to sup- press the whole vile business, and who certainly have their power to suppress it it they so desired, A Sears ago our Chinese merchants tried to send these prostitates back to China, and succeeded in get- ting a large number on board the outgoing steamer, but A CERTAIN LAWYER of your honorabie nation (said to be the author and bearer of these resolutions against our people), in the employ of unprineipled Chinamen, procured a writ of habeas corpus, and brought all these women on shore again, and the courts decided that they had a right to stay fn this councry if they so desired. Those women are still here, and. the only remedy for this evil, and aiso tor the evil of Chinese gambling, sles, so {ar 4s we can see, in an honest and impartial administration of municipal government in all its details, even including the Police Department. If officers would retuse bribes, then unprincipled Chinamen conid no longer purchase immunity {vom the punishment of their crime (6) It ts charged against us that we have parchased no realestate. The general tone of public sentiment has not been such 4s to enconrage us to invest im real estate, and yet our people have purchased and now own over $800,000 worth of real estate m San Francisco alone. (c.) It ts charged against us that we eat rice, ish and veyetables Its true that our dict is slightly differont from the people of this honorable country; our tas in these matters are not exactly alike and cannot be forced, But 18 that a gin on our part of suilicient gravity to be brought betore the President and Con- gress of the United States? HOW THR CHINESE RENRFIT THE CocNTRY. (@.) It is, charged that the Chinese are no benefit to this country, Are the railrcads built by Chinese labor no beneiit to.the country? Are the manufacturing ea tablishments, largely worked by Chinese, no benefit to this country’ Do not the results of the daily toil of 100,000 men increase the riches of this country? Is it no benefit to this country that the Chinese annuall; pay over $2,000,000 duties at the Castoin House of 4 francisco? 1s not the $200,000 annual poll tax paid by Uhe Chinese any benefit Y And are not the handreds of thousands of doilars of taxes on personal property and the foreign miners’ tax annuaily paid to the revenues of this country any benefit ¥ (4) It 1s charged against us that the six Chinese com- panies have secretly estublished judicial tribunals, been jails and prisons and secretly exercise judieial aur | thority over the people, This charge has no foundation in fact. These six companies were originally organ- ized for the purposes of mutual provection and care of our people coming to and going from this country, ‘The six companies do not claim, nor do they exercise any jnaicial auchority whatever, but are the same as any tradesmen or protective and benevolent societies. Itt Were true that the six companies exercise judictal authority over the Chinese people, then why do all the Chinese people still go to American tribunais to adjust their differences or to secure the punishment of their criminais? Neither do these companies import either men of women into this country, NO CHINESE SLAVES, (f) It is charged that all Chinese laboring men are slaves, This ts not trucin a single instance. China- inen labor for bread, They pursue all kinds of indus tries for a livelihood. Is it 80, then, that every man Jaboring for his livelihood 1s a siave’’ It these men aro siaves then all men laboring tor wages are slaves, (g-) Te tscharged that the Chinese commerce brings no benefitto American bankers and tmporters, Bat the fact is that an immense trade is id on between China and the Uniied States by American merchants, and all the carrying business of both couutries, whether by steaniers, sailing vessels or railroads, 1% done by Americans. No China ships are engaged’ in Is ita sin to be charged against us that the Chinese merchants are able to condact their mereantile business on their own capital? And is not the exchange of millions of dollars annually by the Chinese witu the banks of this br ta | benedt to the banks? (h.) We respectfully ask a careful consideration of all the foregoing The Chines not the only people, nor do they bring the ouly evils, that now afflict this country, And since the Chinese people aro now here under SOLEMN TREATY RIGHTS, we hope tobe protected according to the terms of this treaty, But if the Chivese are considered detri- imental to the Lest interesis of this country, and if our presence here is offeusive to the American people, let there be a modification of existing treaty relations be+ tween China aud the United States, ether prohibiting or limit ng lurther Chinese emigration, and, if desi able, requiring also the gradual retirement of the Chinese people now here from this country. Such an arrangement, though not without embarrassments to both parties, we believe Would not be altogether unac- ceptable to the Chinese governinent, and doubtless it would be very acceptable to a certain class of people in this hoyorable country.

To tux Eviron or tnx HxxaLp:— Our attention has been directed to a presentment made this day by the Grand Jury to the Court of Gen- eral Sessions, tor the city and county of New York, on the legalization of prostitution, and embodying a reso- lution urging on the State Legislature ihe adoption of a system of laws having that object in view. We are Englishmen spending a short timo jn this country as a deputation from the ‘British, Continental and General Federation for the Abolition of Governwent Regulation of Prostitution, Stronuovs efforts are Leing made in England and on the continent of Europe, nutably in Italy and Switzer- land, to get rid of a system which is essentially im- moral in principle, and which has been found in practice to be frightfully corrupting in its effects on all classes of the community, and “an utter failure from a medical point of view, Our errand here is to enlist the sympathy and co-operation of American upbolders of pubite morality in our international federation, and to caution them against the introduction into this now world of a system which Europe 1s refusing to endare any longer. The Grand Jury’s proposal is for the Legisiature to take action in order to secure that the women victims of profligate men shall be conveniently domiciled kept honest by the police and healthy by the doctors, Whether these arrangements aro for the benefit of taese prostitute men or women, the Jury does not } Presumably for the former, becauso simtlar plans in Europe are always in the interest of the male trans- gressors, and because we cannot learn that the women of this State engaged in any other traffic have been the objects of similar special solicitude on the part of anv grand jury. The proposal tn the presentment ts backed up by a series of assumptions, unsupported by any evidence, and which to us, who have pretty thoroughly investi- gated this question, are absolutely astounding in their audacity, First—It 1s assumed that by legalizing and licensing you can control and circumscribe prostitution, The experience of Europe refutes such an assumption, In those districts in England where the regulation system has been tried clandestine prestitution is on the in- crease, and bailles the vigilance of the police, In France, alter eighteen years’ trial, 1t i8 confessed by Dr, Jeinnel, in bis recent work on prostitution, pogo 841, that the majority of the women remain unregis- tered by the police. ML ur, the man at the head of feo special police of Puris, says that clandestine pros- titution increases continually, ‘and the diflicuitios en- countered by the police are insuperable, The evil must be overcome by moral, not by legislative means,” In Bertin and other cities in Germany, according to evidence produced by Dr. Simon, Medival Advisor to the Privy Council of Great Britain and Ireland, the clandestine vastly outnumber the controlled and licensed prostitutes, Space only prevents us from multiplying tneso authorities, which we venture to think upset the Grand Jury’s first assumption. ‘Then it is further assumed that the licensing or sanc- tioning of houses of ill-fame would render them less evil in théir influence on the police and youth of your cities. On this point, allow us to quote parts of a proc- lamation of the municipal authoriues of Zurich, Swit zerland, who 1n June, 1874, abolished the toleratea brothels in that town ;— ation gives fixe to a fatal confusion of ide: accustomed to regard all that passes in h itted thing. and the young thus lose all et which have been incnieated to Tol dee protested axa porm: the ideas of good them, A moral con i the employes and et of bein in constunt relations with the tenants of bad houses necessarily lends to a apecies of iutimacy, Moreover, it ix not possiile that they should display much energy against unilecnted prostitution while they are occupied in favoring rexulated prostitution, | the polics ts placed in a talne position; it can only truly maintain a repressive attitude foward prostitution by showing itself frankly hostile to it in ull forme. To admit any sort of compromise with a trade fundamentally evil, to tolerate cme description of honses of deban and make war upon others, is to enter upon the path of half measures, c mprowtse and equivocal partiality, Irujtloxs of evecy good result. Would that every member of the Grand Jury and of your State Legisiature would acquaint himself with the whole of that proclamation, The next assumption is the starting one that ‘‘the spread of disease would be thereb: ostif not entirely stopped.” Let us quote from the best authorities again, remembering always that the part of the doctor in this horrible business is to perpetrate, at Irequent intervaia an indecent surgi- cal outrage on the poor women in the hope “thereby,” to use the Grand Jury’s word, to save some male scoun- dreis from the diseases resulting from their vice, Leon Lefort, physician to the great hospital Da Midi, snys:— “The means employed against syphilis in Paris amount to nothing.” ‘The inspections do not suillce, As it is, syphilis 1s tnereasing iu Paris, * * because the examinations * * * do not answer their end,” Mr. ‘Acton, an English medical admirer of this system, i's obliged to admit, “The best reguiations, notwithstand- ing all assertions to the contrary, cannot guarantee treedom from disease.” Professor Andrews, of Chi- cago, says:—“l have been compelled to laugh at the [requent instances where young Americans have, with infinite gulibility, cobabited with loose women in Paris, because they supposed they were safe there, but were utterly astounded afterward to tind they bad con- tracted disease.” ‘The Sanitary Commissioner of the Punjab (India) says. in areport on this subject there that, after spending some five lacs of rupees upon. iy the results afford us no grounds for congratulation.” * “After all, there are nowhere any substantial signs of improvement.” In Engiand a medieal association has been tormed for the sole purpose of securing the expulsion from our statute book of this hateful legislation, and its mem- bers are constantly increasing in humbet ‘Two years ago i Philadelphia moro than fifty physt- ciang, including many of the very highest standing, sired A successful protest agaist the passing of such a law by the Legislature of Pennsytvania, {n which they say {t would be ‘a concession to evil for which thero is no excuse, a system to which France gave birth in its worst days of misrale, We do protest against any assertion the false and demoralizing claim that this most destructive of vices and crimes is a he. cessity.’’ The Grand Jury makes light of the morat objection to the license system, but we venture to be. Heve it will not be without influence with the citizens, especially with the virtuous women of your State, and, with your permission, we will address a farther letter to you on that branch of the sabject. ‘e remain yours respectiully, JAMES P, GLEDSTONE, HENRY J. WILSON, Astor Hovst, New York, June 1, 1876. ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF LICENSING. New York, Juno 3, 1876, To tax Eviton or tar HxkaLp:— Your issue of Saturday Contains the Grand Jury’s report, which speaks very sensibly op the question of prostitution, and finishes by offering a resolation em- bodying a request tothe Legislature of the State of New York, asking that body ‘to adopt as early as practicablo some system of laws caleulated to confine houses of prostitution in the large cities of this State within certath specified limits,” and, secondly, “to subject them at all times to the carejul and vigilant supervision of the Boards of Health and Police.” Hav- ing lived in St, Louis during the operation of the so- called “social evil ordinance,” as well as before and since, and consequently being versed in this matter of such vital importance to the moral as well as physical welfare of a large community, Task a little of your space to ofter what I may in reference thereto, fully knowing to what I expose myself by touching this in- delicate subject. I will not now detail the manner in which tne ordi- nance wascarried out Suffice it to say that it was summed up in “registration” and stated periodical “4nspection,”” which proved @ success in every direc- tion, First, it reduced tho number of vawds, by frightening off the quasi “respectable giris;"’ second- ty, 1 very materially reduced the vilest and most Joathsome disease estant; and, thirdly, it was not only sell-supporting, but furnished the means for building one of the finest hospitals in the county of St. Louis, now known as the “Woman's Hospital.” It recoived the support of all well-meaning public .men, the in- dorsement of all honest physicians, and the o0-opera- on of tts poor unfortunate subjects, who found in it & protection to a great extent against infection ; and, as a result of their slight disbursements, a clean, well- conducted harbor for the recovery of health, and op- portunity for reformation, should they desire tt. But not- withstanding the great good accomplished, it was short. lived, having met 11s main opposition trom the clergy aud the ladies of St Louis, or, at least, those of them who were possosted of & maudiing’ sentimentality which caused them to view the matter jn the light of a degradation to the sex, inasmuch as it exempted the malo CS Gap ghd from the loathed registration and in- apection, To them the beneficent effects of these measures as condacted tn European citics was no cri terion, and to the respected clergy it appe: lation of a divine law which prohibits the “leeusing of In substantiation of the latter assertion I can roduice several printed nent clergymen of St, Loux to the previous one the following letter will serve as a sample of a mul- titude with which the press of St. Louis was fairly in- undated at the tine.

Sherman, of New York, have taken possession of their new and costly villa on Victoria avenue, Already Bellevue avenuo begins to show ‘signs of life, and several showy teams aro to be found there every day. Just now the city is having it covered with fine gravel. This should have been done earlier in the season, for with the absence of rain it will take a long time for it to become sufficiently packed to make a pleasant road. In the meantime driving there will not be appreciated as much as it will bea few weeks Jater. Mr. William P. Douglass, of New York, once the owner of the famous yacht Sappho, rented yesterday the modest Deacon cottage on Bellevue avenue, which recently has boep put in order and overhauled by tho carpenters, Mr. Frank Work, a New York banker, also rented yesterday the Willingstone villa on Web: ster street.
