THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNEaW i. APUIL 12, 1882.

"WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12.

THE KOKOMO AFFAIR. It is well to talk of law; to urge, as best we may, a respect for law. Laws are designed to protect the innocent and punish the guilty. Laws are society's safeguards. In the absence of law, or where law is disregarded, anarchy prevails, passion rules and bears sway. Order is dethroned and danger confronts eociety on every hand. The American people are a law-abiding jople, and the citizens of Indiana have a record which challenges comparison with that of any other State Jn the Union for all that distinguishes misrule from obedience to the, mandates of constituted authority. But there are occasions of a character so extraordinary, so unusual, so far removed from any line and every line of habitual thought, that communities the best regulated, the most conservative, the most loyal to law and authority break away from every mooring, and in the sovereignty of indignation take the law into their own hands and execute it with terrible vengeance. Who can read the details of the horrid crime committed by the Kokomo tramp and say that the action of the citizens of that peaceful and prosperous city was not right, absolutely right? True, he wore the semblance of human nature, but was he not more dangerous than a mad dog or a rattlesnake? "Was he not an incarnate fiend? "Would not the father of the infant have killed him as he would have killed a serpent had he seen the miscreant while he held the child in his infernal embrace? Indeed, ought not the father to have been the avenger oi his child's wrongs? In such cases why talk of statutes, of Courts and trials, of prisons and dungeons? In such cases the sovereignty of human nature asserts itself. The higher and the better law steps to the front, and for the time being statutes are abrogated. It is so everywhere in all civilized lands, and if a spot can be found on God's green earth where such a law does not assert supreme control when an infant is out raced it may be assumed, without f urth er investigation, that manhood has been shorn of its nobler prerogatives, and has declined to depths of contempt beyond the reach of plummet. Tossibly there wlil be those who will deplore the action of what they may be pleased to call the "Kokomo mob." Tos-sibly there may be those who will exude lamentations over what they may be pleased to style tho demoralization of the times, and refr to the Kokomo tragedy to dignify their croakings. "We do not regard the event as in the slightest degree antagonizing the best type of our civ ilization. It was a spontaneous outburst of vengeance aroused by a crime which, for infernal fiendishness, stands without a parallel a crime which robbed its perpetrator of all claims to humanity and assigned him a place lower than that occupied by the most venomous reptile that beslime3 and curses the earth, and which to kill is every man's duty. Such cases have no place ia the discussion of ordinary events. Such a crime as the Kokomo tramp committed is outside the domain of ordinary crimes. It touches the profonndest depths of devilish depravity and is found only within the realm of demons. To frame a statute tomeefsuch a case would authorize any citizen to kill him on sight, with possibly a reward for his scalp. To rid the world of such a monster is to confer a lasting blessing upon society, and it may berrudently asserted that a community which decides to hang such a wretch may be trusted on all occasions to see that the best interests of society do not suffer. PRESIDENT ARTHUR AND THE HEATHEN CHIMESE. For years past the people 'of the Pacific States have been laboring to rid themselves of the blighting incubub of Chinese immigration. To say that the opposition to the Chinese is a hoodlum craze, originatine in ignorance and groundless prejudice, is nothing less than an infamous perversion of all the facts of the record, a cumulative falsehood, a venal lie, a mercenary slander, manufactured by the foes of white laborers, distorted by flatulent, namby pamby sentimentalists, and decorated by fanatical religionists with puerile appeals, in which there is ninety-nine parts vulgar cossip to one part of gospel. The prevailing sentiment of the Pacific States is one of deep and unchangeable hostility to Chinese immigration. The most exalted characters, men of the most commanding abilities, the profoandest thinkers of the Pacific States, all join in demanding legislation that shall promptly arrest the curse of Chinese immigration. The people of the Pacific States are familiar with the demoralizing influence the Chinese exert upon every interest. The Representatives of these States in Congress have demonstrated by facts that admit of no denial, by arguments unanswerable, by logic thatconvincesall fair-minded men that every consideration of morality, justice, religion, social purity and industrial progress demands that Chinese immigration to our shores shall cease. To this demand Congress xefponded with an overwhelming vote. The anti-Chinese bill waa not rushed through Congress. No gag methods were introduced. AH sides were heard, and the sense of the law-making department of the Government was timt the immigration of coolie Chinese mast cease for twenty years. A class of raen in the United States men who operate great monopoly industries, protected by an iniquitous tariff want cheap labor. Our Consul General at Shanghai says China can supply the world with cheap coolie labor, at from five to fifteen cents a day. The representatives of these cheap labor monopolies in Congress are in favor of Chinese immigration. But Arthur, who was elevated to office by an as sassin's bullet, has responded to the demands of cheap-labor monopolists the enemies of -white labor the men who demand protec tion for themselves, but who would compel American toilers to descend to the coolie level, and has vetoed the Chinese Immigra tion bill. What an outcome of assassination is that, my countrymen! There in the White House is the man who drew the highest prize in the lottery of assassination, drawing his $50,000 a year, giving banquets of princely magnificence Tiands of the rarest delicacy, wines of ot the most costly brands and yet he con

templates vetoing a bill which has for its supreme purpose the rescue of American

laborers from the grasp of coolie psgan degradation.. Is It not time for the laboring men of America and of all who sympathize with American toilers to loo? this aspect of Republicanism square in the face, anathe matize it as it deserves and swear by all the gods of the Greeks to remove the Chinese party, with all Its trophies of assassination. rom power? Is it not time to look with distrust upoa pulpits that fulminate tawdry nonsense in favor of pagans and which never utter a word in favor of Christian toilers? All thines American are loud-voiced in favor of American laborers. The cottages where American laborers reside; the wives and children of the bronzed, hard-handed sons of toil, pleaa that they may not be re duced to the Chinese cooly ragan level. The American press, the American pulpit, the American home Americans, old and young; lisping childhod, mature manhood and tottering age, should all join in de nouncing the purpose of the bullet-made President to degrade American labor, ana the shout should go forth, "Damned be he who first cries hold, enough!" INTKKKSTINO REMAINS. An Indian Cbief, War Faint and Hear' Claws Found Ina mound a.r Muncle. (Muncle News, March SO. Quite an interesting find was made on Friday of last week by Mr. Lemuel King and his son, who were digging and hauling gravel from the March Hill, commonly called "The Mound," in the West End, fronting Charlee street on the north. In caving in the bank of gravel in the pit, which is on the northern side of the brow ot the hill, there came to light human bones. On digging further a human skeleton was unearthed and with it several Indian relics, showing conclusively that it was an Indian of probably 200 years ago, whose final slumbers had been disturbed. That he was an Important individual was also indicated by the utensils and articles found near him. Among these were a large hollow vessel tilled with paint of some kind, a number of bears' claws trophies of the chase probabiy and two disks, made of fchells, shaped much like the insole of a shoe, with holes through them, and used far fastening their cloaks or outer garments. The skull, w hich is in the possession of Dr. Kemper, is an unusually lino one for the supposed character of It, showing a good facial angle. The teeth are all perfect and were very tine. The cup, which is in the possession of Mrs. March, was made from a large univalve sea shell, peculiar to our southern sea coast, showing, it is claimed, that the tribe was cither a migratory one or in communication with one. The disks spoken of are in the possession of Mrs. March and Ilev. D. S. McCaslin. and show marks of throngs. These are not the only remains found at this place, as they have been discovered at frequent periods for some time, large quantities having been found in a partial or complete state of preservation. One of these was found at a depth of eighty-one feet, with another two feel below it. This .showed distinct signs of fire, some of the bones being badly charred and blackened, while otheis were burned off. One ieculiar feature of these discoveries is the fact that the remains are all, with one exception, found at a depth of fully eight feet under the surface. That these were mound builders can not be true, as the mound, contrary to a very common impression, is a natural one and not artificially made. Cornering tho War Office. IBaltimore American. Jnst prior to the bnttle of Fredericksburg, while (ieneral Uurnside was in command General Itufus A. Ingalls, who was then (Quartermaster of the Army of the Potomac, and another distinguished General desired to telegraph to Senator Nesniiih, of Oregon, then in Washington, a private matter. They were well aware of the system of espionage at the War Department, and how to convey the desired information to their friend puzzled them for awhile. A brilliant idea seized them, however, to send it in the Chenook tongue, which they, being old Pacific coast officers, were conversant with, and they were also cognizant of the fact that Senator Nesmith understood it. The dispatch was accordingly sent in that tongue, directed to the Senator, and signed "Ingalls." It fell, as was supposed it would, into Stanton's hands. All the experts and linguists in all the departments were summoned, but none could elucidate the mysterious words. Stanton was excited, lie sent to New York for experts; they came, and still the mystery remained unsolved. Unable longer to restrain himself, Stanton sent for the Senator and handed him the dispatch, which was four days old, and demanded to know its purport. Nesmith, who as is well known, was a thorough War Democrat and a friend of Lincoln, looked at the dispatch, noted its date, and, after reading its contents, assumed his Senatorial dignity and went for Stanton in a severe tonguclashing, and refused, point blank, to tell him the contents. Nesmith immediately went over to the White House and protested vigorously against Stanton's audacity in suppressing a teleeram addressed to him, a Senator. "Old Abe'' asked what was the nature of the dispatch from "Itufe," as he called Ingalls. Nesmith, translating it, read as follows: "We are going to have a battle in a few days: are all out of whisky; come down and brine some, and we will have a nice little game of joker." Lincoln roared and said: ' Go down and see the boys. I will give you a pass for yourself and friends." Nesmith, with a arty, wentdown, taking a sufficient supply of ''commissary" along, and for several days enj iyed himself. While they were ad around a table in the tent one night, engaged in theseductiveand National game of draw poker, the orderly brought in a telegram for General Ingalb, which read as follows: "General Ingalls: If you ever send a dispatch in such a language again you will be cashiered from the service. 1-1 M. btanton.' localis tossed the message over to Nesmith, vho, after reading it, remarked: ''Stanton ain't President of the United States yet, by a d d sight." An Honored Old Age. Albany Journal (Rep.) The cordial greetings of hundreds of old friends !are offered tojthe Hon. Horatio Seymour during his present brief visit to our city. The venerable ex-Governor is enjoying ftir health, aud takes the utmost interest ia the welfare of his native State, tho . in his physicians absolutely forbid participation in politics. No man in the Democratic party deserves or receives such honest admiration as the Sage of Deerfieldl A bitter partisan himself, while in authority, no man ever dared question the integrity or intentions of Horatio Seymour. Iiis decling years are surrounded by all that makes old i.ge beautiful. Negro's Skull. I North Georgia Times. One of the strongest and most convincing proofs of the hardness and thickness of a negro's cranium exists on the person of John Pulliam, a well known darkey, of fine muscular proportions, living in the village. Some years ago a gun burst in his hands, when some of the bullets with which it was loaded struck him in the forehead. Some of them bounced out as if striking a marble wall, while one penetrated the skin, but not entering or denting the skull, lodged in his forehead. It is there to this day, and the bulk can plainly be seen and feie It is encysted and does not give him any inconvenience.

THE CHINESE.

An Able Discission of the Question. Chinese Speech of 'William T. Coleman, of San Francltco. Wm. T. Coleman, Esq., the author of the following speech on the Chinese question, was one of the emigrants to California of 1S19, and familiar with the entire growth and development of that State. He has been the President of the Society of 1849, and has great Influence in that organization. He Is a gentleman of large wealth and great enterprise, and his interests would probably be promoted by the selfish scheme of re ducing and degrading labor by the importation of Chinese laborers. The speech was delivered at the great anti-Chinese meeting in San Francisco, on the 4th of last month, Mr. Coleman is a generous and able man, and is incapable of intending to misrepre sent the question: I will treat the Chinese question in different aspect, probably, irom outers, ana aa we are limited to ten minute will come directly to the subject. There are three things that can be said in favor of the Chinese that hare aitraried many people and given them a talus, where, perhaps, a tuner acquaintance wua ucm ana a lauer consideration of all questions Involved would not hare been so favorable to them, viz: That phislcally, mentally and politically they are equal, 1 not superior, to me average oi maoKiuu. iseyond tnat the comparison Is against them. Physically, aa laborers, lu the field, on the farm, heavy work and light, in many departments, and as operatives and artisans they show quickness, strength, sprightline, endurance, accuracy and fidelity In a great degree. Meutally they are quick, acute aud correct in their perceptions, apt. strong and tenacious in meinorj, and rarely fail in the lessons that have been taught them. In the higher walks we know that as scholars, statesmen aud diplomats they are astute and far-reaching, and held In great respect Politically (and by politically I give that meaning wnich embraces politeness, adroltnesa, cunning aud artfulness) they are shrewd and circumspect an J full of resources and adaptability. If we could continue these favorable comparisons there would be no need for this meeting today, nor the excitement and active oppoMtiou that has teen made, and we are now maklns, and must make against their continued immigration; but unfortunately, or pibly fortunately, here the fair corniarion ceaws. We find that in their habits, customs, thoughts. Impulses, education, actions: la tuelr ethics, morals and rellciou (or lack of religion); In their social and political views, they axe so different from us, so radically and essentially diver gent, and In all so fixed, as to make it uudesirable for them to be with us or near us; and impossible for them to become citizens, or part and parcel with us. Nor do they wish to become a part witn us. They come to this country merely as adventurer and gleaners, or, in their estimation, a; con querors of fortune. They come for a term, a cruise, a campaign, leaving behind their families and all thev love, and cherish, and respect come purely seeking the "Golden Fleece," to cat ry it bock with them, or to remit It to tbcir homes and to follow it; never dreaming ox nermauently quitting their own country, or severing their alle giance, adherence and 6iibmisioii to the laws and wuioicnina. iney bring wun tnem ana ma n tain all their habits and customs. By their dre&. garb and every vesture, disdain aud spurn the idea of affliliatiug or assimilating witn the Americans or other "outside barbarlaus." They don't want at least the larger part oi them don't want to r thitia of ever becoming iwrmaiieut resi dents, cerUiuly of not becoming citizens, unloss it be as conquerors and masters noiuiug their home allegiance firm, and lookinir dowu on us with a quiet contempt. They feel that there they have a Nation and a history far superior, far hlcner. and far beyond all others on the earth. The Chinaman ronrcive he stands on a higher plane, aud looks back through the grand vista of sees in one unbroken view the grand colonade of Emperors, statesmen, scholars, soldiers, reaching back in one glorious sweep to the day of Confucius, now 2,700 years ai;o. Beyond that, lie counts, or claims to count, l.auO years more of unbroken history, and beyoud that but only in the depths of tradition and song he yet claims a grand ancextry. lie )o:iits to the fact that ChiDa as old and prosperous when Kome and Greece were young; that she had attained great advancement at the beginning of our Christian era; that Coufuclus had taught his philosophy nine hundred jears, and Goitama hi doctrines five hundred years, before that ejxx-ti. Coming lowu through the long period of 1.500 years, he shows that when America was "discovered" China was in her hiebest täte of civilisation, and had a -U m of internal improvements aud other grand works superior to anything else on earth. He claim8forall of this a superiority physically, mentally, politically and otherwise, and asks where can be a comparison made to him? He has much in this to le proud of, aud while our advancement in civilization, art, sciences, literature and wealth, tinder Christian dispensation, are so f tr beyond bis, yet he Is blind to them, and keeps his eye steadfast on the age and grandeur and unification of China, aud with his niiud always on the past, he has not believed, or has been indifferent to the fact that the world moved a;id improved, and that he was centuries behind the times, and is positively retrograding, yet he asks: V hy should he become, or want to become, an American citizen T What is there in it for him except pelf and gain? No. the true Chinaman, the better of their class, do not, will not, can not. It Is none but the bae and the insincere those of poor character or individuality who will take on citizenship, as they do a cloak, wear it for the objects of temporary promotion and gain, and then throw it aside as tbey would a woruout garment. Indeed, the tetter and true Chinaman no more thiuks ot becoming an American citizen, than an American resident in Africa thinks of becoming a negro, or an American in China expects to become a Chinese. Their well known duplicity promptly contradicts all their professions of faith or fellowship. Let not our philanthropic friends abroad think that the Chinaman is fleeing t America to teek the ivgis of our protection. Let them bear ia mind that there are no refugees from China, except criminals. There are no social, political or religious migrations like the Puritans to New England, the Huguenots to the outh: like the Irish patriots, or the Jews from Russia to-day, fleeing for safety .and seeking an asylum and a home. lAppluuse.J All of these, too, are In blood, brala and tissue akin to us, but the Chinaman is the antithesis in this, as in everything else, to us; and while he may nominally atlillate, he can no more assimilate with us than can an iron wedge assimilate with the wood into which it Is driven. Applause. And let me ay here, this iron wedge suggests a danger of disruption, of sundering anart, on which you can 11 rellect. But beyond and above all this comes the great danger that seems to have Leen too much overlooked; for. while the social, the economical, the industrial dangers are at our door, in our face, plain and patent to us, on which I leave tho fuller discussion to others, there is danger of a dire and more dreadful calamity that we have never properly considered. China for thousands of years baa pursued the policv of exclusiveness, of compactness and of Isolation. She has not only avoided foreign contact, but made limited conquests. On the north the Steppes of Tartary were a dread rather than an inducement to her. On the east and south she was limited by the ocean and the Islands near by. On the west the great Himalayan Mountains, barriers over which man has neveror rarely passed. She could well be content in her rich valleys, plains and hilly regions, and only the last twenty years have opened up to her a new era in ambition; the barriers have been broken dowu, the Mood-gates have been opened, and China has been tempted, by the taste of foreign contact and commerce, to dream even of foreign conquest, that to her has been so foreign and repugnant. She has seen bow a few of her outlying, enterprising subiects have made great gains in wealth and learning-, and a revolution Is taking place in ber polity, foreign and domestic, that must work out stupendous result, and to us mott hazardous, unless prepared for and met promptly, properly, and energetically. Even to-day she has a navy that puts ours to shame. She lies within thirty days of us and could. If occasion require '.Zl place oa our shores an army, the equal of which modern times have do; teen. This Is not likely to occur soon, but it may come any day. The death of a single prominent Chinaman in this country, or a single American In that, or any mishap, might work a complication that would at or.ee puts us in arms. It U said that in Great Britain there will be put afloat this Tear at least 1.0U0.CU0 of tons register of iron ships and steamers, more probably 1,200,000 toes, or 1,200 vessels oi a tnousaua tons eacn. n occasion required. China could buy one-half this fleet, and with ber own, and such as she could get together, she could start a tnousana vessels on short notice, bringing 2.0UO men each, and hurl, almost before we knew It, 2.000,000 people on our coast. This could be readily multiplied, so that five, ten or even twenty millions could be here in a comparative short time. What would become of us in such a contingency T It is appalling to contemplate, and yet, unfortunately, it is all within the bounds of possibility. Survey the strategical and political situation, and you will see that from Europe we have but little to fear, from China everything. Europe has a population of about 300.000.0UO, divided Into a dozen strong, Jealous, watchful nationalities, which will never probably admit of an overpowering European force reaching our shores, but with China's 40.000,000, one compact body, under one head", with a capacity to send five, ten, or even twenty million people here, or equal to half the population of the United States, and yet notdraln her resources. We have a picture at which we may well shudder, and when we look at the campaigns and the devastations of Ghenigs Khan and of Timoor and the other great Captains that have led their hordes from Tartar China, we can better realize tho possibilities. What axe we to do to properly avoid this? First,

treat the Chinese that are here justly, fairly, according to manly Christian ideas, under our relations Ith China and with the world, but admit no more, and allow the cimher now here to oimlnish as steadily and as rapidly as it is possible, under the fair discharge of our duties to ourselves and to them. And aa soot', and yet as quietly as we can, let item eutirely leave this country, as the Moors v ere cleared out ot Spain, and as the Tartan left the south of Europe a few centuries ago. excepting that this exodus be ia ieace. if possible. Now, fellow citizens, let me ask yon and your Eastern friends what would be the pokltiou of California to-morrow with a Chinese invasion and a Chinese settlement lu the center of every city, every town on the coast, each oue compact, unified solid against us, with Isolated Chinamen throughout the country men who could act. and would act, iaevitably, for the people, as scouts, spies and guides, leading them through our mountain passes into our valleys, villages and towns; betraying to tiem all our strongholds, and exposing all our weaknesses very Chinaman in the country, with bis knowledge of its topography and surroundings, being to the invaders worth a hundred of their own men ? With the large forces Chita could laud here with modern arms, the land could be swept and devastated, as do myriads of locusts in one unbroken mass sweep over a couatry, devouring every living thing before them.- And do not let our people suppose that the Chinese can not make soldiers. See them walk our streets and over our hills and mountains the long, swinging step, and easy, regular gait see them making long marches and carrying big burthens over hills and valleys, and it is ft tent to every one that thev would inake splendid marching militia; and, well broken in and veil handled, they are good fighters, too. They are not bred to war. and are timid and coy to begin ; but they go splendidly at their work when well othsered, drilled and massed.

aud once successful, ga'.n rapidly in courage and dash, aud thenceforward improve so long as well lead. The danger of this.ls, they became wild and merciless when in superior numbers and suecessfal; but are in turn rapidly demoralized under defeat. Thev scarcely need a commissariat or quartermaster. They need but Utile to live on, and each man, with his arms and accoutrements, can yet carry two eckfc' rations and go living light They only need a cause, a leader and confidence. While they are not equal to European troops, they can not b regarded with contempt, and while they have to-day no man of prominence, it is but natural with the awakening they are havlr.-g in their midst, the attention they are giving to modern warfare and tactics, and tue breadth und scope and comprehensive reach witn which they are lookingat every thing modern and national, that a great and ttrong man will inevitably rise up among them. Europe need not fear China, but we should, we must; for she hangs on our west. a great dark cloud that may rise and overshadow us, and burst and sweep over us any day, and, ethnographically and ethnologically. the study of our American Indians, and of our aboriginal population, shows conclusively that the Tarter Chinese, in ages now wrapped in obscurity and mystery, did invade and occupy this whole country. To our Insuds in the East who invite these people to come in what they call peaceful pursuits, we would ask if tbey would iuvite a horde of Mohammedans, to settle lu our midst? Better far have Arabs or Mohammedans for we would understand their position at once. The Mohammedans and Arabs would, in some respects, bo more acceptable, in this, that they at least acknowledge a Uod, which the average Chinaman does not. A part of the Chinese, it is true, are indifferent Mohammedans, a part still more indifferent Buddhists, mixed with a dense, all-pervading superstition, but the g-cater portion of them are eminently materialistic, all of which ill fits them, 111 preise tbem for our Ideas of au American or Christian citizen or resident. We would a&k lirther Hoar and those who agree with him to vialt San Francisco, Sacramento and our interior towns, and "do" the Chinese qiiarten:, with all their filth, stench and dissipa tion, ana then say ir tbey wi&n to embrace tnem as "friends and brothers." In conclusion. Mr. Chairman and fellow citi zens, let us ask: Is it possible, that under these circumstances, the Great I'ower above will sanc tion, or the powers below encourage, or further Insist upon, or admit of, this Chinese immigration? W ith these and other pregnant facts before him, can any mau be so densely stupid aud obstinate. Idiotic even, as not to see and feel the true position that we are placed lu No! it is impossible that the preicntcondltion of ailairs can last tne country cau not. will not mucti loucer bsar this, and we yet, with God"s help, will be freed from this danger aud curse. the vi;t. The -President's Objections to the -AntiChlaeie Rill DinsntifMCtloii Among the I'acltic Slope Senators. Washington-, April 4. The President this afternoon sent a message to the Senate vetoing the Chiuej-c bill. The President said that after a careful consid eration he returned the bill with objectiotis. lie held that It conflicted with treaty obligations and violated the faith of the Nation, and hoped that Congress would endeavor to find auother way that would meet the expectations ot the people of the United States and not conflict with the rights of China. The rrcsidont maintains that the representatives cf neither the ITnite- States nor China, in making the treaty of lvsO, contemplated sny such prohibition of Chinese immigratiou as that proposed in the bill. He opposed the pass) rt system proposed In the bill as undemocratic, and siiid he thought li unwise to introduce such a sys tem in this country, ihe passport system, be said, is falling iuto disuse, and, besides, be maintains that experience has shown that passports are easi ly borrowed or even forged. The President said that Chinese labor had been cf great value In this country, and that monuments to their industry existed. They had largely built the 1'acitic railroads across the continent, but it might wisely be considered now whether some limitation may be put upon immigration of this labor; but if there bo too much of it in oue section of the country the same labor may be needed in another section, and the law should consider this and make such limitation as would permit this labor to go where it is needed. There will be no attempt to override the President's veti, and it is not at all probable auy modified bill will be passed. The Democratic members are entirely satisfied to let the defeating of the auti-Chiuese legislation rest upon the President, and there are not enough Republicans favorable to the ideas of the vetoed bill to bring a new bill to a vote. General Rosecrans claims the veto assures the Dem- crate contrul of the next House, and the Republicans will not. he thiuks. eveu attempt to contest Congressional elections in California, Oregon and Nevada, while the labor Interest from oue end of the country to the otiur will be arrayed against the President's ;party and Mr. Page expresses himself as disappointed, disheartened. He had prepared himself for a qualified veto, but the dacumeut is scarcely that, It being probably impossible to frame a bill which would be effective to exclude Chinese aud not be open to the objections found by the President to the present bill. Mr. Page does not expect to pass the bill over the veto, because the Democrats will now refuse help. He means, however, to put them on record if possible. He is sure all Republicans in the House who voted for it originally will vole to pass it over the veto if they have a chance. Senator Miller, of California, thinks the President has made a grave political mistake, which will weaken the Administration all over the country by arraying the labor Interest against the Republican party. Philadelphia, April 4. An indignation meeting will be beld probably the preseut week utider the auspices of the Trade and Labor Council to denounce the President's course in vetoing the Chinese bill. San Francisco, April 4. The Bulletin says, regarding the veto of the Chinese bill: "The President has not done a good day's work for himself, the Republican party or the couutry. Gartield, with his knowledge of the subject, would have signed the bill. The people oi the- Pacific do not intend to give up the jght. The thing to be done is either to pass the bill over the veto or pass It over again. The people here fully understand themselves, and will not be betrayed to action that may tell asainst tbin." The Post, In the ÜRht of subsequent events, regrets the ten-year compromise was not accepted by the gentlemen in charge of the bill, recognizing that the wlhes of other parts of the Union demand equal consideration at the hands of the Executive, and is not disposed to judge the President's action hurriedly or severely, and counsel's patience until Constitutional redress Cd 11 be obtained. Both the above articles were written before the reasons for the veto were received. The Amalgamated Labor and Trades Association to-morrow will comment bitterly on the action of the President in vetoing the Chinese bill. The veto appalls every Republican in the State, and proves the President is a slave, and not master of the I Eastern bigots and scared New York merchants. He reminds us of our insignificance at the East. Thewautsof California are nothing to aiassacnuseiia ana ew England. The veto means the loss to the Republican partv of California, Nevada, Oregon. Dakota, Arizona, t'tah and Wyoming, aud the demoralization of the ia ty west of the Rocky Mountains. We acknowledge bitterly the defeat, but we don't give up the naht. The Call will say: "The veto is perhaps the moet arbitrary act an American President ever performed. The veto of the fifteen passenger bill by President Hayes was a stretch of power, but not so wanton au exercise of executive power as this." Washington. April 4. Mr. Miller, from the Committee on Foreign Relations, reportea favorably with the amendment to the Senate bill to incorporate the Maritime Canal of Nicaragua. Immediately after the reception of the 1 "resident's message, vetoing the anti-Chinese bill, the President pro tcm. auspended the operation of business to lay the communication before the Senate, and directed it to be heard. The reading of the message was listened to with marked interest by the entire Senate. The vital objection of the President is to the tweuty years suspension of Immigration, which be construes as virtually prohibitory, and therefore violative of the spirit, if not of the letter, of negotiations upon which the treaty was based and aa a breach

of national faith. The message 'jills attention to the proposition made by United States Commissioners on this Knot, aud counter propositions on the part of China to show that the understanding of the latter country in the agreement which was ultimately made, was that immigration would be limited or restricted to a reasonable period. The Preiitent then pointc out other features of the act which, in his opinion, can be modified to advantage. The fysiem of personal registration and passports is specificiaily mentioned as undemocratic and hostile to our Constitution, and he alludes to the omission of the act to make any provision for transit to China of Chinese subjects now settling in foreign countries, to which subject the President adds that bis attention has been called by the Chinese Minister. The message refers to the alleged benefiis to Its industries derived by the Pacific Slope from the presence of Chinese heretofore, expressed apprehension of the injurious effect upon American commerce witn Chinese legislation of the character of that proposed, unless carefully guarded, and without namiiiK any specific period of suspension, suggests that the length of term should be experimental. Tne message and kill were temporarily laid on the table and ordered printed. In discussing the meaning of the word "laborers" aa used in the treaty, the President concedes that includes "artisans, or skilled laborers." lu regard to tho term of susni-iou, he says: "The examination which I have made of the treaty and

of the declarations which its negotiators have left on me record of the meaning of its language leaves no doubt in my mind that neither the contracting party in conc'uding the treaty of lssO contemplated the passage of the act prohibiting immigration for tweuty years, which is nearly a generation, or thougnt tnat such a perloa would be a reasonable suspension or limitation, or intended to change the provision of the Burlingame treaty to that etlecL I regard this provision of the act as a breach of our National tailb, and being unable to bring himself In harmony with the views of Congress upon this vital point, the honor of the couutry restrains me to return the act with this objection to its pasasc, adding that good policy, as well as good faith, requires a modification of the twenty years suspension." The President siys our first treaty with China is not yet forty years old: that i: ii only siuee we acquired California aud established a great seat of c mmeree on the Pacific that we may be said to have broken dowu the barriers w hich fenced in that ancient monarchy. Under the spirit which inspired the BtirJlngame treaty many thousand Chinese laborers came here. These have beeu instrumental in building railroads, and the couutry has prospered by their industry. There may le o her sections of country where thU species of labor may be advantageously employed without interfering with the laborers of our own race. The message speaks of opening China to the world's commerce aa having enormously benefited the Padio slope, aad deprecates a policy which would drive the oriental trade and commerce from us. It concludes to the effect that wbile tho protectiou of our labor Irom Asiatic competition may justify this policy, it Is wiser now to make a shorter experiment, with a view of maintaining permanently only such leaturcs as time aud experience commend. I31PK1SONKI AMKItlCANS. The Itepsrt ot Secretary Frelinghaysen Ke lating to Imprisoued Atuericau Citizens ia Ireland. Washington, April 5. The President sent to the Senate to-day the report of Secretary of State Frelinhuysen relating to the American citizens imprisoned in Ireland. The Secretary says no copy of "the act for better protection of persons and property lu Irelaud" (tne act under which the arrests complained of were made) bersg found iu tlie Department of State here at'the time of its passage, on the 2 ith of .May last, the then Secretary of State iustructed Lowell to obtain and forward authentic copies of it at his earliest convenience. Lowell complied with this instruction on the llth of June la.st, but meanwhile the Department seems to have ootai ned a copy of thear t, as the Secretary of State instructed Lowell as follows on the 'Ai of June last: Whatever necessity may be in the estimation of ter Msjestv for the existence ami enforcement in Irelauu of exceptional legislative measures recently enacted m rc-pett to that couutry, the Government can not view with Uiiuonceru the application of summary proceedings attendant upou the execution ot these measures t. naturalized citizütis of the United States ol Irish origin, whose business relations may reader i.eeestary their presence in Ireland or any other part of the Culied Kingdom, or whr-se tilial instincts and love for kindred may have prompted them torevisit their uauve country. If Ainerlcin citizeus, while within KritUh jurisdiction, offended against British laws, this Government will not seek to shield them from the k-sal consequences of their acts, but it insists on the application to their case of those common principles of criminal jurisprudence which iu thu I'uiud states secure to every man who offends against its law, whether he be an American clli.eu or loie'gu sutject, those incidents to crimiuul prosecution which afford the best safeguards to personal liberty and sir-ingest sec u rules aai.isi oppression under the forms of law, which might otherwise lis practiced through excessive zeal. That the accused ieroii shall immediately upon arrest be informed of tne specific form of offense on which lie is held, and be offered au opportunity for speedy trial before a:i impartial Court aud Jury, an esstutial to criminal prosecution, m-ccssary alike to the prottcUou of innocence and assortment of guilt. Lowell replied to this: It will give me great pleasure to communicate to Lord Gtanviile the views you have so clearly and eloquently expressed as to the injustice t'f some of the features of the so-called 1'ioiectloii Act, and especially to Its restorative character. I5ut I would respectfully suggest whether any steps would be gained toward sjeedy trial or release if Walsh byargumeut against the law itself, under wnich be was appreheuded, so long as Lord Granville expressly declines to make any distinction between liritish subjects and American citizens in the application of the law, a position whicli, I presume, may be justified by precedent under our diplomatic history. Un the Slst of January last the House of Representatives called for a '"list of all American citizens, naturalized or uative born, under arrest or imprisoned, aud especially such of said cftizens as have been arrested aud imprisoned under the suspension of habeas corpus in Ireland," etc A copy of the resolution was forwardJd to Lowell. It appears, from his return, the following arrests and imprisonments of persons clalmiug to be American citizens were made after January, ISM, namely: M. It. Fogarty, Michael Boy ton. Laniel McSweeney, Henry lManoney, James T. Daley, McEnery, Ennis, II. O'Connor, Michael Hart, Joseph D. Alton. In the course of correspondence It appears that Boytou was not an American citlzeu and some doubt was thrown by the Consul at Cork upon U'Mahouey's naturalization. Imprisoned American Suspects. London, April 4. In the Commons this afternoon Gladstone stated the negotiations with the Government of the United States respecting suspects iot American nationality continue. To the representations made by Great Britain to the United States last June, respecting certain Fenian literature, no answer has been received. The announcement was received with ironical cheers from the conservative benches. Gladstone also stated the Government waa sensible of the gravity c f the condition of Ireland, but it must select lu own time for proposing any dewirable measures. It was a social and not a political revolution that was in progress. The Land League tarted when the Conservatives were ia pow er. Though agrarian crimes bad increased he believed the effect of the land act Is extending. The state of Irt land was unprecedented for fifty years. There is a strong presumption the influence cf the Land League is behind the awful crimes committed there. He cited the letter of Healy calllug the Goverameut a set of brigands. Northoote said Gladstone's speech is disappointing, alarmig aud unsatisfactory, because it shows vacillation. Kawcett, Postmaster General, said he can not adopt the suggestion to discontinue the practice of steamers calling at Queenslowu for mail. The Times' leading article on America and the Imprisoned suspects maintains tho right of every State to protect its -If against alien or domestic enemies of society. It refers to General Grant's pretensions, which the General asserted to a deputation which called upon him In New York, and says it is obvious the Government, while giving uo sanction o tree t or iudirect to the exaggerations, irresponsible American politicians cau lairly meet the wishes of the Government of the Uuited States without impairing securities protection act. -It has no doubt the United States will be informed favorable consideration will be given to the case of auy citizen of the United states who will undertake, if released, to leave the couutry.

'GOLD IX VIRGINIA.

Mountain Fall of It Machinery and Capital Needed to Get It Out. Philadelphia Times.l Lynchburg, Va., March IS. Minerals of all kinds abound in the State of Virginia. It is not generally known, however, that gold in large quantities can be had if the proper machinery necessary to mine, crush and wash were on bapd and in the hards of thoe who understand the business of mining. - Seventy-three miles west of Lynchburg, on the Virginia and Teunes?ee branch of the Norfolk and Western Railroad, the Allegheny Springs are situated, and nine miles further west lies the town of Christianburg, at the head of the Valley of the Roanoke. This valley is hidden away between the Allegheny and Blue Ridge fange of mountains. As it extends westward it begins to narrow at liig Spring and at Christianburg there is no valley leftt worth speaking about. Six miles south of the latter town, and eight miles southwest of the springs above mentioned, the two ranges of mountains come to a point, one losing its identity in the other, and bere is situated what is known as 'tbe gold fields," covering a territory of thirty-eight square miles in the Counties of Montgomery and Floyd. Why it is called a field it is bard to say, because there are no fields about nothing but mountainsides, ravines and water-courses, and as wild a locality aa one would desire to pee. That gold in the dust, yi the small nvifget and in the lump is abundant, there is apparently no shadow of a doubt, and iu ten years from now the locality will be better and more generally known than it is at present. In the spring of 18b'l a returned Californian name i Thomson was riding with His father in a buggy from Blacksburg to r loyd Court House, and in passing Brush Creek the son remarked to his father that the country resembled and reminded bun of California. Getting out of the wagon the young man wandered about exploring for tii'teen or twenty minutes and came back with a piece of quartz in his hands, saying to his father, 'ilere is gold, and the country is full of iL" Further investigation proved that Thomson was correct, but then the War broke out, and all those who were in the secret of the gold deposit became interested in the game of carnage that lay before them, End Bush Creek, Pilot Mountain and the golden bonanza were forgotten or lost sight of for the time being. Two years ago the geologists of Virginia looked into the matter and Professor Zeb Hotachiss, of Staunton, and Professor Fontaine, of the University of Virginia, paid the premises a visit in erson, and on the strength of their opinions partiesof J men commenced in a rough end slip-shod manner to wash the dirt along Bush Cieea in search of the golden treasure. Although their engineering implements consisted only of tiu wash-pans and fryingpans with the handles broken off, the toilers managed to make from ?3 to f.'JO a day. Professor Fontaine, when asked for his opinion in relation to the yield, said the prospects of finding gold in large quantities there were better than in the early days of California. There were at least 200 men working along the creek, and the professor said that w?th a patent washing machine he could follow these men and get more gold out of the dirt they threw aside than they got out of what they called choice dirt Pointing to Pilot Mountain, he isaid that all the gold that those ineu were finding was washed down from there; that the mountain was filled with gold, but it required capital and machinery to get it out, and that the people now at work would never realize the benefit of their early findings, because it was only a question of time when the land would c hange owners, and then that section of Virginia would bloom and a city would spring up in a night. hen the Tune.-representative last Paid a visit to the gold fields the amateur miners had moved their quarters to Laurel Creek, eight miles south of Brush Creek, rind were toiling away with fair success. Their mode of living was about the same as in all camps of the kind. They go or send to Christiansburg for supplies, paying for everything needed in gold dust or nuggets, being allowed seventy-five cents a pennyweight for the gold. Out of the thirty-live or forty stores in the County seat of Montgomery there is not one whose shelves are not filled with bottles or Urs containing gold, all of which is sent to Philadelphia and New lork and sold for ninety-five cents a pennyweight. The whole Territory is watered by several running brooks and streams, the chief of which are Laurel and Brush Creeks, which eniptv into the Upper Roanoke River, not very lar irom me Aiiegneny cpnngs. ine lands along the Brush are owned by a man named Waters, who was born in tbat wild region, and like the Indian he is opposed to new comers, from any section, and this is one reason why the other lands along the Laurel and elsewhere are owned by several parties to the manor born, among whom is John Sumpter, a conductor on the Norfolk and Western Railroad, th President of which resides in Philadelphia The lead or vein crosses the Roanoke River into Poor Mountain and along down the Blue Ridge to Goochland and Buckingham Counties, a distance of ÜU0 mile where there are regularly worked gold mines. In the latter County there is a mine valued at $2,000,000, which is owned by a Northern Company. The scenery in the above locality is grand, wild and lovely. Black fish and trout are plentiful in the rivers and creeks, and wild game, from the bear and the deer down to the pheasant, are in profusion. Besides, the shiny yellow metal is there, and this spring all hands will turn out again washing for gold, promising to give the landed proprietors one-fourth of the yield which they seldom do. Two Enemies of the Fox in Kentucky. Louisville Courier-JournaLI A man in the neighborhood of Wallonia is the owner of a jennet that takes part in every fox t base she can get to. She runs with the hounds and brays lustily at every jump. When the fox hears her peculiar vocalism resounding in hisjrear he climbs the hills with an earnestness that is astonishing. There is a blind man in Jessamine who is one of the best fox hunters in the country, and who can follow hia dogs Bafcly on horseback either day or night. Cured by Lightnlnj. ISavannah Newa.l , A lady in Jackson County. Florida, who was long confined to her bed by sickness, was recently almost restored to health by an electric shock. The lightning struck her house, tearing off weather boarding in several places, and killing a cow near by, and cured the lady. The United States Economist says that the growth of the manufacture of pig iron in the Southwestern Iron and coal regions within the past five years has been much creater than casual observers can be aware of. Nearly all the modern stacks in the South, including those who went out of blast in the hard times of 1874-5. are now not merely active but so remodelled in manv instances and so managed as to about double their former capacity. Several new stacks have also been built, and more are rjroiected. The Drospecta of the Southern Iron trade never appeared brighter than at the present time.
