Tae Catnese-Question. —The Grass
Valley Union takes us to task for our
position upon the Chinese question, and
. persisté in ‘asking questions and expla~
nations. It thinks our objection to the
Chinese on the ground of their religion
is not good. Wedo not urge this asa
legal objection, but we do claim that
the coming of auch hordes as China
could send,with such a system of morals
<r would be detrimental to.
the country; not asa religious belief,
but in the results of that belief as exhibited in the practices of the people.
Another-ground taken by the Union
against our position is the tact that we
urged the education of the Chinese as
an objection to their coming. _ The . f
Unbeet aliadia've the age of Chinese
literature, but we had reference to eda.
cation in its wider senge; such education a8 qualifies for the duties of ‘citizenship, and we urge th the want of such
education agone of the: strongest reasons
against Chinese immigration. Their
whole course of training bas been ex-,
actly the reverse of that required for a
clear com prehension of the principles of
free government, while attachment to
their own habits and customs render
improvement in this regard an utter
impossibility. This is demonstrated
by the fact that contact with foreigners
has no effect whatever either upon the
habits or customs of Chinese. Other
foreigners soon adopt the customs of
those with whom they come in contact, and in a few years make good
citizens ; but no system of instruction
could ever*be adopted which would
_ qualify the Chinaman for such a position, Every Chinaman brings with
him the exclasiveness which has so
long characterized his government, and
nothing can change him.
The position of the Republican party
can not be mistaken on this question.
Two years ago the party declared that
the further immigration of Chinese
should be discouraged, and now the
general government is taking active
ateps to prevent their importation to
the South. A late dispatch informs us
that the attempt to bring them: to the
South, has called the attention of the
general government to the fact that the
laws have for some time been violated
in bringing this people to California,
and the probabilityis that early steps
will be taken to stop the practice.
It is well known that a system of
slavery exists among them in this State.
Women are,bought and sold, and frequently transferred from one owner to
another by force, working men are required to pay tribute to companies, and
the lawscan not reach them because
they dare not complain.
certain that those wha come would
never “leave China unless they were
brought over on contracts,.and were
compelled to pay after they reached the
State.
The great objection, however, to this
immigration, is their want of enterprise,
their migratory character and the fact
that they can not be made good citizens. Whoever heard of a Chinese
company entering upon a new enterprise of any kind? mbes single
mine or industry was ever aided or
developed by the Chinese laborer?
They follow in the wake of white men‘
and are mere imitators without enterIt is pretty . }

they poysens. The whole sum and subis that they‘work for a wa
‘nd by manual Jabor they will sid
development. We have already
enough to supply the labor demanded,
. and there are thousands of Europeans
tho would come and be glad to work
if they could get assurance of —ment.
Wealth is not, casi the only ~
ject to be ‘attained. It would be mach
better that the country should grow
more slowly in wealth, and that a
homogeneous and intelligent population should be acquired, than that we
should pile up gold in every sic by
the aid of this people.
~Tr'only half of what we hear of the
atrocities committed by the Spanish in
Cuba be true, it may not be long before
the condition of things in that Island
will become a question of civilization.
Some of the narratives which we rte~
ceive from there. are sufficient to make
the blood, ran cold—men, women and
children barbarously murdered, not in
isolated’ cases, but by hundreds, and apperently spon systeni, They bring to
mind forcibly these. terrible scenes
which the Spaniards enacted neatly a
half century ago in nearly all the South
American Republics just previous to
their final expulgion. Vengeance, in
the most implacable form, seems to be”
one of the strongest characteristics of
that branch of the Latin race.
Nournern Distaicr Farm.—The
eighth annual fair of the Agricultural
Horticultural and, Mechanics’ Society of.
the Northern District of California, will.
‘be held at Marysville, commencing on
the 284 and continuing. until the 29th’
inst. The premiums, purses, &&., are
far better than any before offered, and
we hope Nevada county wili be fully
Tepresented, and that they will take:
more interest “in the Fair than they
have in the past. Every attention will
be shown by oar Marysville friends to
all who may ‘attend.
OVERLAND TRAVEL.—There is, already a considerable amoutit.of travel
from this State to the Eust over the
railroad. Several have gone and returned before being missed from. the
city, 80 speedily is the round trip accoraplished. Parties who have been
over the road say that it is in excellent
order throughout. It is expected that
the fare to Chicago wil] shortly be
greatly reduced. Rumor has it that it
is to be put.down to $75.Tue San Jose Mercury will be published as a daily after the 2d of August,
J.J. Owen to continue as editor. We
hope Owen will make a fortune by the
change. The Mercury is one of the
most interesting exchanges that we re."
Comina.—Hon. Schuyler Colfax and
ladies, Hon. Geo. W. Frost, Gov. Bross
of Illinois and ladies, and .Samuel
Bowles, of the Springfield, Mass., Republican, and ladies, will leave Chicago
on the 4th inst., for the Pacific coast.
A bisPaTon from Treasure City, July
28th, says: “The Miners’ Union visited
all the principal mines: yesterday, and
the $4 men were everywhere driven
eut. Sonie miners working on contract for the Aurora Consolidated were
compelled to stop work. The men
working in the blacksmith shop for
the same company were also made to
stop. Three men workingon the Mazeppa mine were captured and marched
over to the California mine, where four
more were compelled to fall in, and the
whole then marched upto the Eberhardt mine, where they were finally
liberated. At the Eberhardt all the
men employed in any capacity were
forced to stop work ; even the men engaged in hauling ore with teams were
prevented from loading the wagons.
A CONGREGATION of Mormons flour-.
ishes in Stockton. Thar are nupcont

be pete oo ee?
the work done on this mine has beun
out ore rapidly and cheaply. In this
matter the ¢€ompany have succeeded.
‘There is an immense amount of pay ore
in sight. ~~
The Hartery cleaned up on Friday
after a seven days ran with ten stamps.
"Fhe whole amount fealized. was $3012There are twenty-three men , working
in the Hartery, atid these, are “engaged
wi sinking a'shaft. They are the lessees
of the mine, and only stop sinking to
stope out, in order to make wages for
the month. Most of “heir time therefore,
is spent in‘ dead work,” so far as the
present is concerned, in the develope~
ment ofthe mime. The ledge in the
Hartery looks well, having the charatteristics of the Allison Ranch ledge to
the north of which it is located, and of
which it is thought to be an extension.
The Wisconsin Mine employs about
forty-five men, and the company are
taking out some good rock, as well as
developing the mine so a8 to work it to
advantage hereafter. . Macauley’s mili,
of Boston Ravine, is now crushing 4 lot
of rock from the Wisconsin. Bn jot
makes 170 loads, and good judges say
that it will yield upwards of $40 per .
load. The company intend to put upa
mill of their own;at.an,parly day.
‘The West Eureka mino is being
worked allthe time. Am incline shaft
is going down and has reached a depth
of fifty feet. Some good rock has been
taken out, and good prospects of free.
gold have been obtained from it. Max .
chinery will be put upon the West Eu~
reka as. soon as developements show
the proper place for its location. .
The Union Hill mine employs about
seventy men, and work is being. prosecated with good results. It bids fair
to soon take a frontrank in the mines .
of the State,
The West Idaho, located near Slate
creek, supposed to be on the Eureka
ledge, is being worked. An incline has
been sunk about fifty feet, aud at a
depth 6f one hutidred feet it is expect~
ed to strike the ledge. ‘There are
“stringers” in the shaft which look
well.
The Empire is now full othasids, and
mill and mine are working day and
night. The rock coming out is fair.
The Euréka and Idaho are doing as
usual.
Ricn.— We learn that two gentlemen
were down at Allison Ranch, the other
day, and in order to test the richness
of the rock now being taken out, one
of the party “timed” one-of. the stamps,
and after a run of six minutes th@ blangold was realized.
Dotxe Weut.—Mr. Cain, who was
shot at Virginia, is getting along very
well, Hall, the man who did the shoot~
ing, is in jail. He ean give no reason
for firing upon Cain, as‘there was no
trouble between himself and Cain—in
fact they had not even spoken together.
A Srvere Fir.—As Wells, Fargo &
Co's. coaches were about leaving Virginia on Friday, says the Dnterprise,
Senator Stewart, who was outside with
the driver, suddenly took a fit and ré«
mained in a state of insensibility for
about six minutes. He was taken to
the International Hotel, where every
attention was shown him, yet he remained speechless for nearly half anhour. The fit was supposed to have
been caused by his having eaten a considerable quantity of gum camphor
during the past three days as a corrective for some disarrangement of the
bowels. For a time his friends were
much alarmed about him, but he will
probably be as well as usual this morn~
ing. He is not subject to such attacks, . ’
and his illuess cannot be accounted for,
unless it was caused by his having used
an immoderate quantity of camphor, as
is asserted, He was leaving for Cali«

fy. their consent.” That is to say, that
the influx of istaiigration from the
East to California is retarded by. the
parsimony of the Eastern companies,
who refuse to combine with the Cen‘. thal Pacifié in reducing the charge for
emigrants to such a figure as will ena~
ble them to make the journey. It was
announced some time ago that arrange”
ments were about completed by which
emigrants could come from New York
to San Francisco for fifty dollars. It
appears that those arrangements were
announced prematurely, and. that
though the Central s have been
doing their best'to secure such a tariff,
they have not as tt succeeded. Nothing is more ce n than that. the ‘rail-~
road companies will find it to their advantage, in a business point of view, to
put thefares down to the lowest pos~
sible fate. We believe it would psy:
them well to place the rates as low age
or lower than, the steamer rates. At
forty dollars a head; -six--or.ten.times.
the number would avail themselves of
the line than would travel at a hundred
dollars. Cheap fares always have proved the soundest financial policy all
over the world, the namber of people
using the lines being always much
greater than the difference between
high and low rates. The Pacific Rail-:
road. will never have a fair chance, and
it certainly never will benefit this State
much; until its emigrant trains are fillAncora GoaTs AND ™~ CoTswoLD
SHeer.—On one ranch in Monterey
county, says the Democrat, there are
24 Angora goats of pure, and 1,599 of
mixed blood, and 39 Cotswold sheep of
pure, and 4,500 of mixed blood. The
fleece of the goats are described as be‘. ing soft, glossy, with the feel of silk,. .
attaining a length of twelve inches and .
a weight of from five to eight pounds.
These fleeces are employed in the manufacture of the costliest fabrics, suitl is

dollars per pound in San Franciseo. The
goats are sbsolutely free from any tendency to scab, and there is no difficulty
in rearing them exeept from a habit
the.dams have, ofkicking their kids at
weaning time, which requires extra at~
tention and pains at that season. The
pure Cotswold sheep will weigh from
250 to 400 Ibs., yield fleeces of combing
wool, free from yolk or dust, weighing
from 10 to 18 pounds, worth from 70 to
80 cents, in gold, per }b.,in New York.
The staple is from 8 to 12 inches long

of a friend in Paris, and was going

further than this for other people’s fas

churchyard on my own account.” .
