been a hg NB ee ie The Daily Transcript Wednesday. May 31, 1876; ~The news now comes from Washihgton that the “religious element ofthe country,” are urging the con tiuwance-of the Burliogame treaty, on account of its value in facilitating missionary Work for the conversion ofthe heathen. According to. this view it matters little to the “‘religous element” whether their brethren of the seme eoler and religion statve or. not, provided they can convert a few Mongolians. They want . to turn. this country into a grand colony of Chinamen so they can petform missionerytabor with and upon them, We are of the opinion if’ these missionaries are so exercised about the sduis of the heathen, they had better go where the heathen live, and not have ttem brought. here to the utter ruin and degredation of the country. We have seen missionaries before now collecting for the heathen of foreign lands, when people were in utter want next door to them, We do not think these visionary enthusiasts ‘have as ‘yet shown any marked success in Christianizing Chinamen in this State. It iw true they find a large number who like to attend Sabbath School 'for the purpose of learning to . read and speak the Huglish language, but there are very-few; if any, that have changed’ their faith. Even: it they have, the number is so-gmall in comparison. to the large nunvbes here, it docs not makes showing worthy-of, attention. It would be better for these missionariesto labor in fields ~utarer ut: home: ‘To: lift wp: the} owntrodden, degraded and oppressed right in their own country. _Prelght at the Depot. ‘Preight for the following named . quent interviews with those in auThe Citizens Committee are in thority there on the Chinese question, It is probable they may ac. complish some good, but the main. relience of the people of this eoast to relieve them from the evils of Coolie emigration, must be upon our Senators and Rept tatives. “We have able men ‘in those positions,Ously and accomplish all that can be done. “They have’ not waited, éither, for the action of citizens before they saw the evils of the influx of Chinese. At least Senator Sargent has seen the danger, and -has-sounded the alarm several times from his place ayes nac it speech he said: “On the 25th of June, 1862, nearly fourteen years.ago, I called to the attention of the House of Representatives the fact that ‘A people of strange tongue, vile habite,. impessible of assimilation;-and with— cus. toms difficult to peustrate, swarm by thousands to our shores, like the frogs’ of Egypt.’». I described. the system of slavery and other abominations, and asked for the. relief which the giant growth of the evil has now made unendurable to ns and & near calamity to.the whole nation, At the last Congress I laid before the Senate a monster petition from the people of California asking for protection’ from the General Government, and I urged the demand upon the attention of the Senate,”’ We have looked back to the Congressional Record: to which -he refers, for the remarks he made two years ago in the Sevate, and find in them--the germs of the elaborate speech of May Ist, of this year, and for anybody’s-oat to jump before he seundedithe alarm, Here is what aes igen “I present to the Senate two volumes containing the signatures of 16,638 persous,. residents ani citizens of the State of California, in tention to the condition of the treaty legislation, or by: & modification of .E.

By their religion or their -Snperstition their 8, even, are retarned to China after their death. Lhey work at very moderate prices « They underbid and wndersell ail other kinds of labor: They necessarily thereby drive out other laborers, ‘skilled and unskilled. They ate exceedingly simple in their require. ments for a living, living upon a few handfals of rice per day. If they have children they do not send them to school. They live in overcrowded habitations upon the streets of-our cities, a dozen or tweaty of them perhaps in a small room, “Bi this means the health of the cities is impaired, By this. means, also, there are dangers created of conflagrations, which sometimes burst owt in the Chinese quarters of our cities and’ wns, ond are very destructive in their eifects. ‘These petitioners, in a most respectful manner, ask the Senate of the United States to consider these matters, and others which they present, and see if some remedy cannot be: applied. ° I wish to call the attention of Sen‘atofa to the fact that California and the Pacific: States and Territories are sim ux of Chinese population. We have now, as these ‘pe say, some sixty thousand of them, They have reached somewhat further Hast, carrying, not Civilization, as otherimmigrants briag, but Pagan i through the Territories.
