says: The only anti-Chinese bill passed
during the Legislative session just ended, was one introduced by Mr. Miller,
providing that all Asiatics should be
taxed four dollars per month while in
the State. But, sad to relate for the
Governor’s honor and sincerity, after it
signing or retarning it, till the close of
the session, thus killing the measure.
Thus, through Governor Haight’s selfstultification, not even -one~ anti-Chinese bill became a law. The workingmen will probably believe what he tells
them the next time he goes to stump
the State in a political campaign.
said Mr. Campion, the management of
this work, I could have put five hundred men to work a week ago, and five .
hundred more to-day, and thus all could
be earning a living, instead of being deceived from day to day ‘to satisfy the
schemes of politicians who care nothing for our interests. Though poor,
we cannot be subsidized, but those subsidized, scheming, bundering politicians
are ever dtawing our blood from us,
and make their living in that way. It
is those pohtical bummers who trade
in politics for a living, who haye ruined
you and left you idle to-day.”
The whole trouble in this affair orig.
inated gs the speaker says in the bluodering of politicians. After the bill was
passed, the San Francisco delegation,
tearing that the control of-work would
in some way fall intd Republican hands
amended the Jaw by a bill offered by
Hays, and thus changed the whole
status-of the case, and produced all the
trouble by continually interfering.
This is only one of the many instances
where working urganizations have been
sought to be used by demagogues, and
from the speech we give above,which is
a fair type of the tenor of the meeting,
it will be seen that they failed. Never
in the history of politics was more made
of this pretended regard for laboring
men, than in the last campeign in this
State by the Democracy, and never
were pledges so entirely disregarded as
by the Legislature. ‘Franchises and
oppressive laws were turned out day after day, while the industries of the
State were utterly neglected, and to
the designs of those pretenders the
working men of San Francisco are beginning to open their eves.
If this gross deception of politicians
serves to open the eyes of working
men all over the State, and to satisfy
them how hollow are.-such . prefessions
as are “made by these~ then; we™ shall
expect to see in the future less of that
prejudice which induces men to fall
blindly into the hands of those who design to use them, and more independence in matters of election.
Mus. MITCHELL was robbed of valuable furs, jewelry and clothing in Virginia city, on the 6th instant.
THE rope-tying act was done by the
Indians of the Upper Missouri long before either Jackson; Hartz, or the Da‘venports were born. A gentleman residing in Alton, who spent many years
as an Indian.trader in the Yellowstone
regions, states that the Assiniboine
tribe were remarkably skillfal at this
“spiritual manifestation.” The chief
medicine man would allow himself to
be stripped and tied at every joint,from
toes to neck, with buffalo thongs, then
rolled in a buffalo robe and tied a third
time, until he was apparently as helpless asalog. He was then placed ina
small tent, surrounded by spectators,
and ap Iadian drum, flute and a gourd
of water laid by his side. Within
three minutes the sound of the drum
and flute would be heard, and in five
minutes the Indian would walk out un
trammeled. :
Surerrors AND INFERIORS.—Some
of the colored people of San Francisco,
when celebrating the Fifteenth Amendment the other day, respectfully asked
the privilege of decorating with wreaths
the statue of Lincoln, at the school
house which bears his name. Marks,
the Principal of the school, responded
to their respectful request with a brutal
refusal and opprobrious epithets. The
applicants, it seems, were mistaken in
} supposing that because Marks belonged
to a race that had known persecution,
he woud appreciate their joy over new
found deliverance and. for the nonce
waive his unquestionable © “superiority”() _. eNO ee :
RatiLroaD Bitits.—The Appeal says:
The Governor signed only the bills allowing Stockton and San Joaquin to
vote on the subsidy to the Visalia and
Stockton read, and the bill permitting
San Francisco to vote on the subsidy
to the Southern Pacific ; and*the bill
$100,000 in bonds to the California Pacifi d vetoed or pockete] all the
others. It is singular that the Gover
nor.allowed these three bills to escape.

Ir is ramored that a grand excursien .
occurs iu Japan or China. The, silkworm eggs. are laid and hatched here
spofitaneously, no artificial heat ever
-peing employed or required, as “ts the
case, more or less, in nearly every other
silk growing country in the world:
The sitk worm, besides a mild aud‘equable temperature, and a tranquil atmosphere, demands a constant exposure to
pure air, and an abundance of light;
requirements easily met in this State,
where we have almost uninterrupted
sunshine through the. entire season of
their activity. ©. gee:
Alarge quantity of California eggs
nt to Europe, in 1868, affurded entire
tisfaction, having proved. much more
healthy than those forwarded about
the same time from Japan ; this differe: ce being due in part to. their greater
natural vigor, and in part to the shorter
time required for cag y Be to
their place of destination. king to
permanent benefits, however, ‘she California nurserymen would find it to
their advantage to raise cocoons rather
than eggs, as they would always be
sure ot a market for the former, But
so long asthe Kuropean demand shall
continue, it seems hkely that many of
of our silk men will be tempted to dispose of their eggs,. proximity to that
market giving (idm great advantages
in supplying itover China or Japan.
There is tound in California a native
silkworm, inhabiting the wild lilac, the
utility ot which, in an economic way
has never yet been tested. The same,
or a similar species of the worm, breeds
upon the mulberry tree, growing wild
in the mountainous districts of Japan.
They attach. their cocoons to the trees
on which they live, and from which
the cocvons are gathered in considerable quantities, and-at very little cost,
neither their rearing nor keeping being
hatch without care, and feed on the
leaves as they grow upon the trees. It
seems probable that these native California worms might be domesticated
and made profitable upon plantations.
Being already acclimated they would
certainly be likely to prove hardy: _
There is another worm, also, a native
of Japan, which feeds on the leaf of the
oak tree, and, some of which having
lately been imported into this State,
promise a valuable addition te our
stock of workers. Like the other wild
worm. above mentioned,they teed themselves and requite no looking after; the
sik they make being remarkable for
its strength and beauty. This worm,
it is thought, would thrive and make
good silk on the leaf of the California
black oak. : —

Last year, from #)maple grove of one

wete made in’ five days“a pound from
each tree every day. Vermont probably sends more maple spgar into the
market than any othet one of the New

sap is considered the best, so that the
maker of sugar taps his trees as soon
as. he sees evidence that the sap is ascending. This amber, colored fluid,
wher teduced to syrup, forms a most
delicious . article a table use. It is,
however, rarely to be obtained in the

syrup is poured upon the snow, just before the, point of graining,a delicious

From time immemorial, Japan has
been considered the most famous silk
producing country ia the world. That
nature has well adapted it for this pur, is evident from the fact that the
inhabitants of that country have always
clad themselves with garments made
almost exclusively from this textile;
cotton not being in general use, and
wool only recently having been at all
employed for this purpose. Bat, admifabiy as Japan is conditioned for the
successful prosecution of this industry,
it is vastly interior to California in this
respect, its climate, and great extent.of
virgin soil insuring for this State ad-}.
vantages over all other countries, and
