THE COURTS. | A Victory for the Sunday Lager Beer Sellers, | DECISION IN THE CASE OF JUSTUS SCHWAB. Boarding House Mysteries and Nuisances. TMPORTANE TO LIQUOR IMPORTERS, The liquor dealers, dotermined to test the ques- | tion whether the action of the police authorities in arresting parties for seliing lager beer on Sunday is le- gal, had Justus H, Schwab, one of the parties arrested, Drought yesterday on a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Donohue, in Supreme Court, Chambers, Ex- Judge Freedman appeared as counsel tor Schwab, and District Attorney Phelps represented the people. The pourt room was crowded and a sharply contested lega; argument was anticipated, but the matter took a differs | ent turn trom what was anticipated and ended in a manner wholly unforeseen, but 1 is hardly necessary to add as gratifying to the liquor dealers as it was un- expected, Judge Freedman, after referring to the excitement caused by the manner recently adopted in enforcing the Sunday law, said the ouly question was whether the selling of lager beer on Sunday was an indictable offence, He then went on to say that the amended act of 1870 regulating the sale of smtoxicating liquors con- tained no express prohibition a; jing on Sunday, dut the amended act of 1569 contained a provision te the effect that ‘tno intoxicating wines or hquors should be sold on Sunday as a beverage,” under the penalty of fine and imprisonment, or both. ‘The only question now was, Whether lager veer was an intoxicating beverage within the meaning of the statute, Mr, Phetps—If Your Honor wii! pardon me, I wish to say something that may perhaps prevent the necessity of further arguing the case. Judge Donohue—W: Mr. Phelps went vided that ale and cating, and under t ‘Term of the 8 preme Court, Juage Peckham writing the opinion, had | decided some time since 1m a case of the same character that the commitment would be defective unless it cnarged spe iy that lager beer was an intoxicating bever- age; the present commitment contained no such spe- | cific charge, und as that decision was still upon the statute book unreversed he thought the prisoner must de aise ged. Judge Donohue, after looking at the decision cited, came tw the same conclusion and discharged the pri oner, and the settlement of the vexed question was thus'again postponed. Upon this announcement the assembled throng of liquor dealers left the court room in the most smiling mood. A BROOKLYN J BOARDING HOUSE. In the Marine Court, before Judge Alkor and a jury, yesterday, there came on for trial a slander suit, brought by Mrs. Alice A, Thompson against Milledge Messenger, in which she seeks to recover $2,000 dam- | ages, ‘The parties to the suit are all Brooklynites, and ou the part of plaintiff it is alleged that deiendant has been a strong supporter ot Beceher. The slander com- | plained of is that the defendant used language in ref- | erence to plainnil, the reasonabie inference trom which | is that she was a woman of unchaste character, 1t | appeared from the testimony in the case thus far that irs. Percy, at the timo of the utterance ot the | alleged slander, kept a boarding house at No. 18 Sidney | place, in Brooklyn; that defendant boarded there with | bis brother, and plamtitl, with her two married sisters, | lived in the same house, About the ides of March, 176, the younger brother of the defendant wrote a note to Mrs, Weeks, a sister of plain, living in the same house, to Which exception was taken, and which tinatiy | became (he subjee’ of the conversation ip whieb the | siauder is alleged to have been uttered by de‘endant. | elendant was placed upon the scand, aud while denying absolutely that ho ever utters a Word retlect- ing on the ch mniiit for coastity, went on to explain wha 5 ifled in’substance | That at the ¢ alae Was mnade about the note written vy his brovher, and be, in defending his brother, asserted that the note was written im re- sponse (wan invitation to the writer by Mrs. Weeks to have bim come to her room to drink whiskuy, and that the uote was no worse thun the invitation, Av this | point Mes, Marker, another sister of plaintiff, took up the cudgels for hor famly, and wanted Mr, Messenger | to uuderstand that she Was a Indy and his super‘or, and when he uttered a slander against her sisters he uttered it against her; thatif be delended the conduct of his browuer be was uo better than his brother, He re torted thay he had seen Mre. Weeks under the influence of liquor, and there was a rumor that the plaintiff, Nirs. Thompson, had ovme into the house under similar inflaences, At this point the old lady, Mrs. Percy, iusisted that the younger Messenger leave the house'at once, and the defendant advised him to go. The conversation thea was taken up by Mr, Barker, the husband of one of the daughters, who said to de- fendant that be (sessenger) was one of that class of Christians who support Beecher; that he deserved a cowhiding, and he (Barker) had a good mind to give it to bim. Foiding his arms in composed and earnest dignity, Messenger replied that it was not ior a man like Harker, who lived on his old mother-in-law, to cowhids anybody. Mr. Barker, go to your rooin at once,” sald Mrs, Percy. Barker went, while Mr. Messenger leaned his arm onthe stair railing and remained in position. Mrs. Barker, iollowing ber husband, as she passed Messenger said:— X **L have a good mind to slap your face.’? * T wouldn't do it if L were you,” replied Meseonger, tor it might make you appear less of a lady than you | are now reporced to be.” She didn’t slap him, and, all parties to the éiscuaston baving retired from the seene, he retired to his room, packed his trank and retired from the honge. He aio added in his testimony that the boase bad a bad repu tation. Freeman 1. id gave his testimony to the effect, on the part of the dofence, that plaintuf bad | rocured the services of a Brookiyn ph au for on Improper purpose. W . Hardenbrook, who ad- Fertises in the Church Journal and Gospel Meseenger. lestified to having » } n company with Mr. Thorndike, at the West Si ec}, at jour p’clock in the morning. He (Hare yok) bad bis wile with him, having been ata party or ptenic, and did not see anything wrong in the conduct of Mra Thompson or Ler companion other than their presence atthe hotel at that time. At this point the case was adjourned until to-day, when Colo-et Spencer, on the part of the plaintiff, promises to flatten out ail the tes. mony of the defeace as to the doubttul reputation of the Percy boarding house or its inmates, THE OCEAN NATIONAL BANK. Refore Judge Larremore, in Supreme Court, Circuit, there was commenced yesterday the trial of the suit brought by Charles E. Strong, receiver, against Mr. Giles Tatntor, to recover $20,000 on a bond made to We Ocean National Bank, conditioned jor the discharge of the duties of cashier of the bank by his son, George L.

PUGILISTIC PLUNDER, During the glove contest between Deputy Coroner John Mahan, of Jorsey City, better known as ‘Steve Taylor,” aud George Rooke, in Howes & Cushing's circus, corner of Forty-ninth street and Eighth avenue, on Tuesday night, a pair of pantaioons owned by Taylor, a coat and pants belonging to Rooke, and a coatowned by Mr. James Holbrook, of No. 426 West” Thirty-second street, one of the performers, were stolen, The pugilists were compelied to go home in borrowed clothes. An bour after Officer Mulligan, of the Twentieth precinct, found John Brophy, aged twelve years, of No, 330 Wost Forty-fourth street, und Thomas Reilly, aged cleven years, of Wost Forty-first street, seated ina wagon at Forty-kecond street and Bighth avenue dividing up the plunder. Mastor Roilly was just remarking that Taylor's trowsers would mako a coat, sewn and vest, and that they could soll the odd coat, when tho officer arrested them. On being ar- raighed betore Justice Duity yesterday afternoon the young rascals were held for trial, CIGARS. RENEWAL OF THE AGITATION AGAINST THE TENEMENT HOUSE MANUFACTORIES, A movement has again been started among the smaller cigar manufacturers having for its object the suppression of cigar making in tenement houses, This Subject was agitated about two years ago and received atthe time a good deal of attention, and the reasons then urged fora reform in the system are similar to those on which the present movement is based. The protracted dulness in the cigar trade is attributed also by the opponbnis of the tenement house system to the cheap rates at which work can be done by tho Bohe mians engaged in the trade outside of the factories, ‘The arguments employed against the tenement house system are:—That the air ip the houses in which cigars are mado is rendered impure; that the work induces uncleanly havits, in consequence of being done where tho workers live, eat and sleep; that because ail the members of the family assist in the work the cnildren’s health ts prejudiced and that the system breeds d , hot only among the workers themselves, but throughout the neighborhood. The efforts of the opponents of the tenement house ianutac ture succeded hereiofore in getting the Board of Health to investigate these things, and a report was published at the time giving the rosults of the exami- nations then made, The inspectors—Drs. Emerson and. Tracy—who made the report on this subject, then said:—"In making these inspections we have’ been into cach room in which the manufacture of cigal was being carried on, as well as into the other roo: have seen the people at their work and at their meals: bave talked with them and with their employers, when we have chanced to meot the latter, and bave tnus en- joyed the best opportunity for judging {or ourselves of the eflects upon the workmen and their families of ‘heir peculiar environment,” ‘The report then proceeds to show that the air space, light and ventilation of the operatives in tenement houses is superior to that afforded by the factories to their operatives, and several instances are cited in sup- port of this assertion.

Wasmysorox, June 6, 1878, At the session of the Senate Commitice on Foreign Relations this morning Messrs. F. M. Pixley, Philip A. Roach and Mark L. McDvnald, representing the anti- Chinese interest of San Francisco and the Pacific coast, presented the following memorial and in brief speechos advocated legislation in redress of the grievafices against which the paper is a vigorous re- The citizens of California, and more especially of San Francisco, thipk they stand in the presence of a great danger, They regard the question of Cuinese immigration as one of national impertance, fraught with grave consequences to tl ublic aud of press- ing importance to our Western coa: A STARTLING AND ANOMALOUS QUESTION. The questions presented are so new, so startling and 80 anomalous that we cannot be surprised that they are f0 little understood in those paris of the nation not brought in immediate contact with this strange people, and that the consequences of Chinese immigration are not fully appreciated by those who have not been culled upon to consider them. We are the less disposed to criticize this condition of attairs when we remember that a great change Las beon wrought in public opmmion in our.own community, In the earlier settlement of our State 1t was an almost universal sentiment that Chinese immigration was desirable; we rellected upon our broad empire, 118 vast resources, tts inexhaustible primal forests, its immense and varied mincral ue- posits, Its Droad urea of productive iands, and in our anxious desire for speedy development we regarded with favor the introduction of what we beheved would be pauent ahd willing workers, We looked upon the Chinese as industrious and law-abiding, aud hoped to find in them the solution of many of the embarrass- ments regulting from our then isolated position. COMMERCK, RELIGION AND CIVILIZATION, We looked to the opening up of a profitable Oriental commerce, apd bopod to develop great wealth im the development of an Asiatic trade, Our Christian people thought they saw the opportunity of missionary labor, and regarded it as providential that this immigration wou d introduce to A-jatic millions the Christian re- ligion, and extend to them the blessings of our civiliza- tion, We hailed the ratitication of the Burlingame treaty 4s ap advance ia the right direction, and congratulated ourselves that the Chinese government had departed from its traditional policy of isolation. In all these things we have been disappointed, and we now reulize how entirely we have misunderstoou the charucier of the people whom We have javited to our shores and how widely we have miscalculated the effects ot their pregonee amoug ue. The sentiment of ypposition to Chinese immigration ig to day im California an almost universal one, It is expressed in the resolutions ot all political parties, finds utterance in the entire press ol the State, is entertained by the imteliectual, business and lavor clisses, while every honest an« conscientious Chrisuian clergyman 18 forced to admit that the con- version of an intelligert Chinese adult’ to the Christian faith would be a miracie, and that the age of miracles has past, and all classes of society unite in the opinion that Chinese immigration contains within tt thy ele- ments ol danger to our material interests and destruc- tion to our civilization, COMPARATIVE NUMBERS, The entire white poplesion of California, Oregon, Nevada, Washington Territory aud Arizona is in round numbers 1,100, The Chinese now resident among us are not less than 160,000, Sun Francisco contains 200,000 white people and 40,009 Chinese. Chinese immi- gration has from some cause received a new inpulse. Aslatics are pouring in upon us in alarming numbers. Between 3,000 anu 4,000 a month are coming. Steam- ers are thronged and a large sailing fleet is now under charter to bring passengers to Francisco, and from tho class now thronging our const it woud seom as though China was sending to us her river thieves and pirates, and the government of China was making San Francisco a Botany Bay for ber criminals. Tho popu- lation of China is: variously cstimated at from 400,000,000 to 600,000,000 of people The United States numbers 40,000,000, China could spare twice or thrice our number and only fee! a grateful relict from ite redundenoy of population. ‘This is an age of steam, of cheap and rapid transportation. It costu Jess money for the immigrant to cross the ocean trom China to San Francisco than to cross the pluins {rom the Missiesippt to the Pacific: Considering the overcrowded population of the Chinese Empire, the scant wages, the straggle for existence, the limited protection afforded to life and property, in contrast with the opportunities afforded in our unoceu- pied and fruitful domain, the high wages paid for labor, the ample guarantees afforded by our laws to life, ‘and ig there not reasonable ground to fear numigration in such overwhelming numbers as to peril the best in- terest of our people and menace the very existence ot our civilization and the permanence ot our republican institations? DANGERS OF CHINRSR IMMIGRATION. In estimating this danger we must not be unmindfal of the character of the people whom we are consider- ing and must not ignore their history of biood and Tapine, their excursions of conquest and the horrid scenes of their internecine wars, We do not discnss them as an inferior people, for we remember that their Empire and their civilization reach back some thou- sands of years beyond tbat of Europe or America; we know their accomplsuments in the science of govern- ment, their achievements tn arte, and wo are tanght by our contact with them not to underestimate the subtlety of their intellect mor the re- sult of their achievements in our yarious industries, In this argument we. are called upon to discuss tho practical questions involved in the character of the immigrants we are receiving and the effect it will have upon our own peopie and our own institutions. These opinions aro formed from obsrevation in San Francisco and other parts of Call- e larger cigar manufacturers give out’ fornia and wo estimate their present and future value ag citizens of this government irom the experience and observation of the twenty-five years during which time we have been brought in contact with them. Inthe very heart of San Francisco, within a square ot ite municipal buildings, nearly 40,000 Chinese are congre- gated; there they dwell and ply their vocation. It is tho rendezvous and hive from whence they come and depart to ir various occupations in town and cuun- try. The houses, streets and alleys of six contral blocks are thronged with this muititade of strange Feople, in dress, language, habits, manners and pur- suite entirely distinct from anything that ia seen else- where in America; such a hive of busy industry, such a cesspool of filth; such a hell of vice and crime; such poverty, misery, squatior, filth and disease is to bo seen nowhere else upon the American Continent, Here the Ch'nese merchant and trader expos Here the mechanic pursues his trade, nere nd criminals hide and plot, nere two thousand prostitutes ply their vocation; like swarming rats of Norway, they excavate pas: under the streets, and burrow deep into the ground; they swarm together, unlike human beings—the trader, the artisan, the gamoler, the opium eater and the prostitute form ascething mass. ‘rom this centre the laborer goes forth to his employment, the domestic gorvant to bis daily duties, Hero are the Chinese six companies who govern this population; here they have their secret tribunals, their prisons, their hospitals, their opium dene, thoir gambling bells, their theatres and their joss houses, Hero they pir wl games of fan and lotteries, concoct their schemes of villany and depredation upon the cominunity, stupely themselves upon opium, practice their unnatu- ral debaucheries in defiance of all laws of morality and decency, and in utter contempt and disregard of ail mumcipal ordinances for their government. and control, WHY THE BVI. CANNOT BE ABATED, It may be asked if such things exist why are not our ordinances of health and police enforced? We answer that the Chinese defeat all such laws by the inert power of numbers and the force of non-resistanc: they accept imprisonment in our County Jail as a re- Nef and regard it a8 a bome of luxury; its bread, beef and coffee 1s a teast compared to the famine of ‘ghoir ordivary existence; 1s most narrow cell is spacious and comiortable than their crowued dene. tho prisoners in our State Penitentiary nearly fourth are Chinese, to whom imprisonment ts pre: able to freedom in their native land; in asylums, hospitals and pauper houses the Chinese are ‘gely represented. Their syphilitic diseases are horrible bee youd any power of language to describe; leprosy, tho ‘most terrible of all contagions, is not unknown among them; eight of these unfortunates having beep dragged from their hiding places in the Chinese quarter are now dying in our pest house, Coolies are imported and held to forced labor in dettance of the spirit of our lawe, Young girls are purchased from their parents, imported to our coast and indentured to a lite of in- famy ; bought, sold and transierred, or held to mis- cellaneous intercourse by bills of sale, as merchandise, for prostitution is with them a recognized and legit. mate occupation; with these unfortunates death is the only relict from a life of slavery and shame. i CRIMINAL AND INDUSTRIOUS CLASSES, Among the Chiuese there 1s now developing a crim- tnal class that not only set our jaws at defiance but are breaking from the restraint of the Chinese six com- es, aud by their numbers and their desperation are roming equally dangerous to the better Chinese as to the whites and live off their countrymen by biack- m g enforced by threats and violence, supplement- ing their means of subsistence indiscriminate thievitt} and pillage. There is avother and a bouer class of Chinese, men who are sober, industrious and Jaw abiding, in ther way useful to the community in which they live. From this class comes our domestic servants, larm hands aod laborers, workers in reclaim. ing swamp lands, building ditches for irrigation ana upon railroads; irom among these comes the cheap lavor that monupolizes so many of our lesser industries and the workers in our manufacturing and mechanical employments 11 would be idle to deny that California has bot reaped some advantage from Chinese immigra- tion, butit is eater folly to deny that it has not been hindered in ite Lh op tlnwan ng nagar 50-4 perity and settlement by the presence in it of the industrious and skilfal Chinese workers. A balance would exhibit to the coast a fearful loss. BPPRCTS UPON WHITE Lawon. adalt male Chinaman who has toiled in oar the place of awh of t Cheap labor is with them but an artiul scheme to command the field. {1 iy but a tem) expedient to secure the posit AS soon as they have driven their white competitors trom em- ployment they demand the highest compensation, and enforce their exactions by every means at their com- mand. Against the Chincse labor strike there can be no ore | ‘successful lockout, One hundred Chineso will live in a family house of ordinary size. They will sleep 1m bunks and upon shelves; they will cook with charcoal in 4 braater; they will live upon rica, tea and dessicated vegetables, Ten couts a day will afford them muio- tenance. They have no families or relatives to sup- port, no ebildren to educate, po taxes to pay, DO public duties to perform, no charities to maintain. All therr gains they tke from the community, Ther import the clothes they wear and the food they consume, They ask the imlervention of no white middieman to import their goods. Ching is the home to which they propose to return, to which (hey send their earnings, and jn event of death they provide for the transmission of their bodies to the Celestial Empire, from the soil of wuich alone their souls may ascend to the celestial kingdom. The Chi- nese have prevented thousands trom tinmigrating to our coust; Lave driven thousands from their empioy- ments; bave brought many to want aud idleness; bave driven many to poverty, suicide aua crime; have wken such lavor trom women as enabled them to lead lives of virtuous independence, and has driven too inapy of them to practices of shame apd guilt, They deprive our boys of the opportunity of empioyment, nd close Againat them the avenues to trade and to mechanical und inapulacturing industries, The Chinese in eur State oceapy the place that ought to be filled with au hundred thousand happy bomes and halt a million of white population, Ms FALLACIOUS ARGUMENTS. It has been urged that in the absence of Chinese labor our harvests could not be gachered and our rail- roads could not have beeu built, The long and rainiess summer answers the drat objection, The spendid sub- sidy given by the Fer government to the corpora tors of the Central Pacifle road ought to bave enabled them to have burl their road trom the Pacific to Ogden with white labor as ly asthe Union could build from the Missouri River westward, This subsidy cane from white labor and had it been expended for white labor would have coniributea many thousands of homos and families to our State, An argument ts some- times made tuut the Chinese fill the piace of meninis and engage in lavor that the whites would not periorm; that Lhey form a stratum of society under our lowest and thus they raise the white laborers toa higher plane, This 18 not true, The Chinese as a rule avoid the harder aud more dangerous employments, seeking the easier and more remunerative. We have no Chivese in our forests or qaarries, no teamsters engaged in, heavy bauing; they do not work in deep mining, are not found as workers in places of davger nor where long endurance and serious heavy toil is demanded. THRIK PURSUITS. They have become to a large extent domestic servanis, as cooks, chamber girls and children’s 8; they have usurped tue wash- ndrymeu taken the place #0 largely oc- tub, and as cupied in other countries as the last refuge of the female of the toiling poor, They have pearly monopo- lized cigan making, box manufacturing, the making of boots, shoes, slippers, coarse clothing; underwear lor men, women and children; thev bave stolen the sewing machine trow oar female workers; they lavor im ail the lighter mechanical industries, in making o! woole lens, silk, rope, ribbons, matting, ‘sewing bags; ure successful in all employments requiring dexierous liiger manipulation, attend offices, act a8 porters 1n stores, messengers, From certain kinds of fishing, vegetable raising, peddling, #ireet picking and froma host of other minor employments the Chinese have entirely driven out white lavor, Lirtarming, surface mining, manufac- turing, in railroad building, in constructing levees for the reclamation of overflowed lanis, in ditches for irri- gation, in vineyard and orchard labor, grape gathering und fruit pickibg they have taken the place of those who might have emigrated to the State and of these in the Staie who would have been glad of the employ- ment, We may not extend this argument to show how terrible is becoming tho strata upon our laboring popu- lation, how unequal the rivairy between the two classes 0. labor, nor need we use any other arguments than the facts verein stated to prove that, unl ss some peaceful remedy is speedily found for the solution of this race contiet, there will come out of it scenes of violence that shull shame our civilization, Thus we experience embarassment trom both classes of the Chinese. The criminal and the vicious set at defiance our laws, poliute our moral atmosphere, aud arg inoculating our population with the perfected vices ol tour thousand years of paganism. The industrious and the well disposed are rivalling our workers, and with advantages which they can never hope to over- come SSIMILATION IMPOSSIBLE AND UNDESIRABLE, Tho Chinese can never assimilate with our people, can never become homogenous with us. They are an alien population in our midst; they have no respect lor our laws, our institutions, our reiigion or our people. They form an absolately indigestible elewent in our society that cannot and will -not endeavor to assimilate with it; they have no domestic life, and he best feature of the immigration lies in the fact that they do not as a rule attempt to acquire real property, establish homes, do not bring their wives to the coun- try. The best of their women ure concubines, tho buik of them are slaves and prostitutes, the nature of whose Vocation furnishes but few chiidren who may yrow up to cttizenship unger our amended constitution, How uudesirable is a Helot population, a distinct race and class, that cannot become citizens in our Repubhe ! We may not presume even to discuss this betore hon- orable und intelligent Senators and statesmen. We are endeavoring simply to state incontrovertible facts; from these facts you will deduce your own conclusions, Wo are stating the evils attending Chinese immigra- tion. It is lett for you to suggest remedies, Our peo- ple of San Francisco and of fornia bave exhausted every effort. We have passed municipal ordinances to bring this unnatural und digorderiy multitude within the bounds of police and health reguiativas, which they have defeated by the lorce of their namters and their non-resistance. We have pasted State laws which the United States Supreme Court has declared to be unconstitutional. We are.not permitted to placo & per capita ax upon Chinese immigrants, as wag done in Australia. Weare not permitied to tax them in their liar avocations after they become domiciled among us. All such legisiation ‘s by the Supreme Court declared to interfere with the regulation of com- merce and to belong exclusively to the Congress of tue United States There is nothing left for us but to ap- peal to Congress and ask such legislation as will re- move us from under the shadow of this great evil, THK INSUFFICIENCY OF OUR LAWS. Existing laws are insuMcient, The statute that pro- Vides against the landing of criminals, diseased and paupers is inoperative, becauso it is impossible in a crowd of Chinese immigrants landing at our port to determine whetber the — indi- vidual Chinaman belongs to these classes, Maiden girls brought for the purpose of prostitution cannot be excluded as prostitutes. Contracts for coolio labor made 1a another language, enforced by secret tribunals, under penalties exacted in China by t of families and children in eveut of uon-pert 108, cannot be revoked by our laws, To the Chinaman our form of ogth has no bind‘ng oreo. Their entire organ- ization 1s a conspiracy against our laws. They are pure fatalists, governed by no moral code. The purest maxim for the government of their mtercourse with each other and outside barbarians is that ‘“bonesty is thabestpolicy."’ When, in their opinion, honesty is not the best policy they refuse the ru's. To compare this people with European in:migranis 1 to insult the nationalities from which we have all sprung and does violence to the intelligence of the age. “To attempt the regalation and control of this people by laws that guarantee to each accused person the right of trial by Jury, 1s to swamp our courts und binder the adminis. ‘tration of justice. ACTION OF THK PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA. Ata great popular gathering, held in the city of San Francisco, presided over by the Governor of our Stite and the Mayor of our city, attended by large delega- tions from the surrounding country, three citizens of San Francisco were ceputed to visit the national cap- ital and present this question to the law and treaty making power of the nation. We bave endured this wrong long and patiently. ,No other community in America would have borne this evil as we have borne it; no other city in the United States would have re- frained from riot; no other class of laborers would bave been thus robved of the dally labor that earns their datly bread without resorting to violence and bivod; no other climate than ours would have with- stood pestilence and the spread of epidemic diseases, Wo have exhausted every peaceful endeavor to soive this problem for ourselves, aud bow invoke tho aid of @ higher power, is MORAL CONSIDERATIONS, We do not discuss this qnestton with those fow railroad builders and manulacturers who Gud their profit in the use of coolio labor because we regard the question from a higher standpoint; we enter into no argument with those sentimental politicans who talk of the brotherhood of men and the fatherhood of God because, selfish though it may be, we regard tho mierest of our country and our own families as para. mount to this low debased and tace. We dis- miss the question of converting the heathen by the assertion that forevery Chinaman turned from his idolatrous worship there have been perilied the body nd souls of athousand white people; for every Uhi- naman gathered toa Christian Church, hundreds of white women and men have been driven to prostitution and crime. {f Chinese immigration tk an evil we demand its arrest, even though we deprive the orator and the poet of bis rhapsody about America boing the asylum of the oppressed and the refuge of the downtrodden. If the interests of the two people conflict the Chinese must give way. If Urieutal trade cannot be had except at the expense and weilare of tho Americab people we must re! nquish it. Trade and commerce 1s of lesser importance than civilization and republican freedom. im for our demand that it is made by an in- igs nd loyal people, who know more of the ex- tent of this Chinese evi! than those can know who live beyond its influence. To-day it oppresses us, to-mor- Tow it extends to you. To-day it 18 local, in the near futare the evil becomes national. Now it may be ar- rested, later it will become irradicable, Wo speak irom noither passion nor prejudice, but as the result of in- Velligens observation. CONGRESS CAN PROTECT, AS we cannot doubt that the power resis in the natior Congress to protect its soil from the contamination of a Chinese immigration and its people trom the deworali- zation of their contact, We do not seek to drive tho present Chinese population from our midst, except the criminals and prostitutes, which we think we can man- age by the energetic execution of cur municipal iaws. We bave invited them among us by our treaties, and we will endure their presence till by voluntary re- turn, death and removal our city ts rid of their pros- ence, Our suggestion ts for a modilica:ion of articius and 6 of the Burlingame Treaty, so that Congress may legislate upon this matter as a regulation of com- merce under the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, We ask that our State depariment may de instructed to open dence with the govern- ment of Great Britain, and ask her friendly co-opera- tion to tthe shipment of Chinese through hor port of Ki We ask that the Secretary of the hermit be re- quested to enforce with great strictness iw gov. erning consular agents iv the Chinese ports, and that our Collector of the port of San Francisco be required to execute existing laws to their strictest letter of in- nails, paupers and diseased persons: treaty is moditied, that the remedy may be prompt and efttcient, we ask this com- mittee to favorably consider the bill mtroduced by our pc meg Senator, Mr. hemes Gag limit the namber of nese pasnengers that may tako passage upon ships to our ports upon the Westerm coast, rr ee ‘Yesterday there appoared im the Hemato the follows ing strange advertisement :— . ted, by Cage tte pig mr pie ay lg sie number of operative joimers: 3 peuce per hour.
