New Line of Steamers.
The telegraph donounces the, com. pletion of. ‘arrangements for putting
on # new line of steamers to connect
with the Pacific Railroads and China.
A meeting was held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, on the 16th.
Three fine vessels have already been
. chartered in England, . and they will
February next. The vessels are te
. be got ready for, sea at once, and

If Governor Ames, of issigsippi,
can be believed, the recent Vicksburgh troubles were not caused by
“Carpet Baggers,”’ but residents to
the manor born were guilty of a little irregularity. It is becoming

and disadvantages to the people here .
‘from its continuance.. 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. Stubbs, the most hardened of
the two, has not been out of San
Quentin more than two weeks. Bruee

If-reports are true, there will sdop
be another flutter ainong Cangressmen. The Pacific Mail Steamship
Company is now to figure in place of
the Credit Mobilier scheme. $750,000 has gone where the ‘*woodbine

ceived it. The “situation”? makes
Irwin, the disburser of the purse,
sick. If he tells the truth, there is
a prospect of the~ sickness being
transferred to other parties. . Fhe,
