As there now to be a new line of steamers put . is on between San Francisco and Chi. dia, it is reasonable to suppose tliat ‘ ‘the country will soon .be flooded with Coolies, unless prompt action is taken to prevent it. Mr. Page is earnestly at work in the matter, ‘and with favorable signs of success. The telegraph gives the following synop” gis of his. speech: He referred to his speech of dast session in re ference e tg Coolie labor ‘and its ‘effect upon the laboring classes of the Pacific Coast; also to the platform of both political parties of California since 1867, and the resolutions of the Legislature of California, opposing this class of immigration; also to the petitions of 17,000 laboring men ‘of ‘California, in. favor of a modification of the Treaty. Mr. Page said: “I here present the petition of 17, 000 as good, loyal ~menas ever petitioned the Repre. sentatives of a Tree people or offered a prayer tothe Throne of Grace.’ He submitted to the committee aflidavits of Rev. Otis Gibson, Rev. [ra M. Conditt and others, with an original bill-of-sale ‘of Chthere women, and showing this to be a common practice. He referred to Judge Field's decis“jon deeiding the State law uncon~ stitutional, ~andconsequently the \_ necessity of some action by Con“— Also to the. Fifth article of e ‘Treaty, and held that China bad sot Seomplied with ‘its provisions. He fea. from Justice Curtiss’ opinjon in tha Dred Scott case, (19 Howard’s, page 620) to show that Con. gress had tlhe power, to repeal a ‘Lreaty withoutJoreign Government, and in conclusion contended that Me facts presented ought to convindea, thes comjnittee that some action wi sary by Congress that woul atd as « wall b. tween ‘free and ‘vile labor—-between vice and virtt ~-and send back to their native country these brazen harlots who flaunt their prostitution in the heart ofa great city, and in the broad light of day, und teach those who traffic in human beings that in this Jand of vurs, where bSnest toil .is rewarded, aud virtue respected, we will no Youger tolerate their practi‘ees, Culifornia_has long been the cess-pool into whieh China hols emptied her filth, and at last hope of deliverauce has come, fe The committee listened’ very attentively to Mr. Page’s argument, and at its conclusion, Mr, Luttrell, who was present, said that he enQorsed his views, Several leading members of the committee have already Stated that they will agree to report a bill in accordance with Puge’s recommend:tion, r oe On Sunday night burglars broke énto the express office at Vallejo, and taking out the safe carried it down on the wharf and broke it open, abstracting its contents, some $400. ‘They were. traced to Benicia on . Monday, and were discovered in the warehouse yard of Moore & Cummings. Constable Hanks, of Vallejo who was ia pursuit, posted guards and then charged upon them pistol . : in hand, whea théy opened ‘fire, which was retutned by the. officers. A number of shots were fired, when the thieves ran aud succeeded in gatting away. All the avenues of tray_ el were immediately put under.surveillance, and Tuesday the burglars were found under @ huage two miles rom Benicia, when they surrendered.
