I cannot take it, ma'am," she answered, in even, steady tones: "papa would be angry if I did." Angry that you accept a gift!

Tiu little figure straightened itself with an air of dignity almost womanly. Sou are a strange child," was the and the lady looked interested and amused.

No, ma'am," she answered, in aquwering voice. I "Mamma died three years ago." Why was it that a throb of pain stirred the listener's heart at these words What I was Norah's mother to her? She felt drawn towards the child, she hardly knew why drawn, to, toward the dead mother and tiie straiue, proud father. Norah's eyes, Norah's name, were like those of a little sister bh( bad loved and lost not by death but by a separation. She had never forgotten it. and to-night the memory of that olden time softened her heart and made her pitiful towards the grief ol others.

"Some beggar whose i tale of distress touched your sympathy?" I He looked at her fondly, and in a manner that showed thai slu was the "one woman of the world" to him. Not a beggar." and the lady smiled and told how Norah had refused the money.

It was then I found out that there bad been a feird of longstanding between him and my Esther, and that it was for this he had married me, and thus struck his enemy to the i heart."

"If my tirst marriage a wretched mistake, my second was indeed blest, and crowned with such happiness as 1 never hoped to enjoy." The carriage had reached the suburbs of the city by this time, and now stopped before a large house, with an old-fashioned, hospitable aspect, very inviting.

"Home at iast said the gentleman, jumping out as nimbly as if he bad been younger. "Come Kate. She followed and leaning on his arm 1 wmt up the steps and into the house. No farther allusion was made by either to the subject of their conversation during the drive. But the thoughts of one kept con-; tinually recurring to the child she had seen in front of the confectioner's and when Kate Hilliard closed her eyes to sleep that night it was with the firm resolve to see Norah's father early the next day, and find out who he was and whence I he came.

For Norah's words. Norah's 1 1 seemed like an echo from the past, and had in them something of the spirit i she remembered. Norah's thoughts were as full of her as hers of Norah. "Such a lovely lady." i mused the child, as she hurried home. I don't think papa would have minded my taking the money, if he could have heard all she said, and seen exactly how she looked.

It is New Year's eve, and what if she were not a real lady at all, but just I some fairy going around doing good I saw a nice old gentleman inside her car- I riage, though, and a live coachman on top. I guess she's llesh and blood like the rest, only kinder and more thoughtful." It was toward a wretched quarter of the city that Norah bent her steps, and the meat where she stopped was old and di. lapidated, and crowded with human beings. She ascended the stairs and found her way I to a room dimly lighted by a tallow candle. The door stood open, and she entered softly.

Then, shading her eyes with her band, she looked around. There was a bed in one corner, and upon thai lay a man asleep. Poor papa," she thought," 'he's tired out. The doctor says he ought not to work, but he will, and I can'i help it. I almost wish I'd taken the money.

I would have bought a chicken, and 1 could have made him some broth to-morrow. But he wouldn't have eaten it if he knew how I got it. Oh, dear! Oh, dear 1 It is so hard to be poor and have a sick father." She bustled about a little, setting the rooms to rights, and tried to look cheerful, though she had felt down-hearted. But the tears came in spite of her when she went to the cupboard and looked in to see what there was lor breakfast Only a few I dry crusts and a small piece of bacon. If I I it had not been New Year's eve, their poverty would not have seemed bitter.

I She had gone hungry before, and never complained; but now, looking at her pale, worn father, and remembering the tad Christmas they had spent, her luarl re- belled. Then her mother's sweet face rose up before her as if in reproach, and she folded her together and breathed a prayer, for health aiM comfort Poor Norah a child in years, bat weighed down with a woman's cares, old in trouble and the wisdom born of it, it was that i she hud early teamed where to look for guidance when sore distressed and buffeted by the world. Her father did not awake, and she finally took the bit of candle and retired to aii inner room, hardly larger than a closet, I Its only furniture was a little cot-bed. I Into that she crept, and soon fell asleep. She dreamed of an angel with the face of I her mother, and ot the beautiful lady, I who, in some magical way, had been changed into a fairy, all gold spangles and lace.

'J he sun was nearly an boar high when i I she awoke the next morning, though her room was still dark, for it had but one little window lrgh up, that opened on a brick wall. But she rubbed her eyes and i looked around as if bewildered, for surely someone bent over her and whispered i softly, "Little sister! little sister!" She I sat up in bed, and then felt two arms clasp her close, and warm kisses rain down on i brow, lips and cheeks. She was not afraid, i only wondered what it all meant, and whether she was really in her own room, i i or in fairyland, or in heaven. Dress quickly, dear," said the voice she had beard first. There is a gentleman waiting to see you." The voice was that of the beautiful lady.

and so was the form she recognized by the dim light. Half believing it a dream still, I 1 Norah slipped on her clothes, and, with her hand clasped in that of her companion, i opened the door of the other room. There sat her father and the white-haired gentleman she remexbered so well, talking cosily together, and, if she had been zled and bewildered before, she was even more so now. "Come here, daughter." sail Jli. Brad or O'Connell, as lie was tailed thereafter.

"The New Year has brought you a sister." "What uo yon meaiv papa'" Korah stammered. "Tell her, Kate," whispered the whitehaired old gentleman. Mr. bad heard the story before, but he again, as the sweet voice trembled in its narration, and once I wiped a tear furtively from his eye. "My sister My own sister cried No.

Your father is ready and so is Norah. You can talk all you. I want to afterward." Mr. O'Connell's reluctance to accept his I daughter's hospitality was finally overcome, and he consented that and himself should make part of her housebold. His pride was great, ami had led him to assume a false name and almost make a martyr of Norah, but he began to have a faint perception that a great deal of error and selfishness -were mingled with it, and was ready to make amends.

He soon afterward recovered bis health, and through Mr. Hilliard's instrumental' iiy obtained employment, at once lucrative and honorable, so that he was enabled rapport both himself and Norah independently. Norah grew more like a child, and less like a woman, under the new influence by which the was surrounded. But she was i none the less true and honest, and her sisj ter rejoiced to see the signs of care fade out I of the young face that bad once been so I sadly mature. But neither Norah, nor Kate, nor Mr.

O'Connell ever forgot the day that ushered in their new-found happiness, and to them the New Year brings greater joy than any other holiday. THE CHINESE QUESTION. Sonic Novel Suggestions in Connection With Its Solution. Ens. Hkcoiih -I'xhis As a traveler in northern California and an ill MM vei of rent events.

I have become very much interested iv the Chinese question. It is truly a problem to get a people out of a country they have a legal to stay in as long as they are peaceable citizens. I lieve boycotting is a good but, in my I opinion, it will fall short of the desired rei suit. People will always be found who will take sides with the under dag in a fight. And, then, there is a phase of this question that has not been spoken of yet by any of your correspondents.

If the I Chinese are" objectionable as peaceable, bard-working inhabitants, what will you do if you make tramps and vagabonds of them They, have no fear of the law, and in their own country they stand them up I in a row and cut ofl their with their head' fastened to it, for trilling offenses. Will it be a good plan to take away all means of earning a livintr from the Chij nese and turn them loose to get their sintence in some other way. In driving from Oakland to Siskiyoo, and over the Sierra Ni-vadus into I'lumas and Lessen counties, during the past year, I believe I have passed at least 500 men on the I road tramps, most of them. Many of the ranchers tell me that they always keep bread and meat ready to feed any who ask fur it: that they it much cheaper to feed them than it is to put tip new i buildings. This is a bad state of affairs, ami ought not to be, bat it can he made worse if you run out the Chinese who are now employed in the towns and force them to become tramps.

You will lower the value of every acre of ground in Cali, fornia. and the rancher's lift will become a burden to him, and the final result I will lie that, after having made us suffer in various ways, John will still be here, and a much greater nuisance than he is now. Boycotting is a plan if it can be adopted all over the Stateat the same lime. Spasmodically, in spots, it is a damage. and retard rather than accelerate the departure of tiie Chinese from this coast.

Did any one ever think that, tis most of the Chinese here are si ives, a good way to 1 reach them would be through their masters. I don't mean by violence, but in other ways. In my opinion the Chinese question to us is wholly one of dollars and cents, and it wont bankrupt us either. I have been thinking of several ways that would not cost US more than a dollar apiece to get every Chinaman out the United States. Secretary Beward bought Alaska for Uncle Sam for eight millions.

We can easily get along without it. Suppose California appoints Commissioners to buy it from Uncle Sam. and then empowers these Commissioners to make terms with the Kmperor of China. Sell him Alaska (for more than we give for it, of course), and have it in the bargain that he is to call every Chinaman in the United States back to China. The Chinese will colonize Alaska, tad develop it cheaper than we can, and it would add to the wealth of the world without being any damage to us.

ICorresjxjntlence of the Recop.d-I'nion. 1 San Francisco. January 21, One of the moribund industries of San Francisco is that of stocks, and I there will be few mourners at its death for, first and last, it has been of more injury to the State than all other drawbacks combined. Legitimate mining is a noble pursuit, and a benefit to the world but when it 13 subordinated to the interests of a and the detriment and ruin of the honest and industrious masses, it becomes a calamity. That the brokers are not making office-rent that the so-called i operators," who have fattened on the credulity of what they are pleased to call suckers," are haunting free luncb counters i 1 for their sustenance, excites no commis.

seration. There are enough legitimate re- I sources in including to employ all the surplus capital of the 1 State, and all that may chance to come, without attempting to base fictitious I prosperity on mere gambling. The decline in mining stock steals and deals bodes good for the State at large, and will serve to divert capital from uses of hurtful specula- i tiou into legitimate channels, thus tending I to develop our resources and promote the permanent prosperity of the State. If every mud-hen, curbstone broker, member of the Stock boards and manipulator were dumped I into the the community would be none I the loser, and there would be no complaint I over Till-: DK3BKABKD Shaking of this increase, it amounted; i to 130 cases last week the largest ever recorded in the history of the city. With Wliahness peculiar fo' San I newspapers, they have ascribed every con- I ceivable but the right one for this circumstance.

One says Broken sewers. As the largest number of deaths was from i pulmonary complaints, the sewers are cer- i tainly innocent on that head. And, by the way, theeowen are not nearly so bad I as newspapers which would get an- oppor- tunity to rake the city treasury, in case of: a new deal in sewers, are trying to make I out. Another says that Eastern consump- lives come here to die, and thus besmirch the fame of our glorious climate." The glorious climate talk has long been ridiculed as bosh, but still the papers keep prating about it. As a matter of tact the climate of i Ban Francisco is what an Englishman would describe as beastly and, allow- 1 ing for the increase in population, is largely responsible for the deaths from pulmonary disease.

Cold and variable winds sudden showers of chilling rain: sunshine one minute and a breeze from the Arctic the next, striking the tender surfaces of the lungs and causing violent reactions, certainly have a tendency to cause iiiilamma'tion or congestion ot that organ, which. If not taken in time and treated intelligently, is certain to result in that almost invariably fatal malady, pneumonia. na yen." A friend of mine jestingly remarked, the other day. that a new and powerful factor in politics would be developed in the coming political campaign. Asked what it was.

he replied: "The Organization of Yen Yen. 1 "What is that?" was asked. "The brotherhood of opium fiends," was the reply. He then went on to assert that there are in the State of California not less than T.OCio mule persons of voting age who are addicted to the opium habit, in one form or another that the victims of opium were banded together by one common bond of sympathy; that their moral sense and conscience are so dimmed and obscured that they can take no vivid interest in any of the practical affairs of life, and that, if once organized for a common purpose, they could be driven to the polls like so many sheep to the shambles, and thus be constituted a power in politics. Of course there is not much in this, except as showing the extent to which the opium vice has permeated OUT communities, but it brings me to a point, showing how the cunning Mongolian evades the duty on opium and cheats Uncle Sam of his just dues not, perhaps, without THE CONNIVANCE OK OFFICIALS.

When a steamer from the Orient is fast to her dock, about the tirst thing the Customs officers who board her put their lingers on is smuggled opium. This is, ot course, seized by the Customs officers and duly and formally condemned, aii 1 ordered sold by the United States District Court. It is then advertised tat sale by the United States Marsha 1 sold at auction tor the benefit of the Government The duty on opium is $10 Of course, nobody but a Chinaman is going to bny opiuui at auction, and representatives of the i Six Companies ure ibe only bidders. They are banded together and get the srnfl their own price. Soy they hid $2 per pound, which is about the figure UticJc Sara is thus cheated out of $8 of the duty imposed, and the China man saves just $8 per pound on his opium.

It will be noticed in a telegram from Port Townsend in the of Thursday that the large amount of 3,100 pounds oi opium was seized from the steamer Idaho by the revenue cutter Walcott, the value of the same being 10,000. Now, it is certainly not reasonable that BS smart people as the Chinese are going to risk $40,000 to liability of compete confiscation. The opium" will be condemned, ordered sold, and bought in by the owners, who will thus evade the greater part of the duty. Senator Millers idea in securing the high tariff on opium was to restrict its importation, but the Chinese cunning has proven more than a for a law of Congress. My idea, both for the checking of Chinese immigration and the prevention of the spread of the opium habit, would beto p.i.ss a law that all smuggled opium should be publicly destroyed.

This would bring the price of opium to such a figure that the majority of both whites and Chinese could 1 not a Mori! it- purchase, and no Chinaman would stay in a country where he was deprived of his opium. A M.VIISR. I have heard a great many comments, I both by experienced newspaper men ami laymen, on the magnificent number issued by the Kecokd-I'sion of last Saturday dej scriptive of the citrus fair. 1 hope your readers will not misjudge me when 1 say that the encomiums were flattering and unanimous. It does not follow that, be-1 cause I trn a stipendiary of the paper, I I should not have the right to voice the 1 praise of good judges, who assert that it is one of the neatest bits of newspaper esterj prise ever achieved in California.

That is my own judgment, and I count myself as more or less competent to judge, notwith; standing the apparent tautology and seeming egoism. THE SHARON DIVORCE.

THE ORANGE BOOM. Much interest is being taken in this city in the prospective opportunities for marketing California oranges profitably in the East, owing to the failure of the" Florida crop, and there is no doubt but Florida's loss will be California's gain. But orange growers must not rim away with I the idea that they have a clear field for i any and all oranges, good or bad. They will be called upon to compete with the' fruit of Europe and the West Indies, which have the advantage of cheap water trans- 1 portation, and thus the California fruit will be put upon its merits. Ifwe only oar best, we will make permanent place for our oranges in the Eastern mark is.

Those who semi trash will lose nudi in ihe venture, besides injuring the ati .11 of Cal- i lfornia as the orange field for the v. orld. A BHAXX. One ot the causes leading towards the present hard times in San Francisco is the mania for lottery gambling. It is estimated by persons wBo have made a study of the subject that no: less than 00.00b per month is sent out of this city to the lotteries in Louisiana.

Havana and Europe, of which sum perhaps an average of comes back in prizes, leaving a net drain on this city alone of £170,000 per month. The hard times have no doubt tended towards the spread of the lottery mania, but the lottery mania has had the effect of making the hard limes harder, by depleting our circulation of to much money. The police department baa set its face very strongly against gambling, it will nut permit a faro-game to be conducted, and wd be to the venturesome sport who shouM attempt to trot out the tiger. Sometimes it is seized with a virtuous spaspi as regards lotteries, and then an agent or two is "pulled" up. his tickets confiscated and a few dollars' bail forfeited as a penalty.

This the lottery dealers look upon as a sort of quasi-license fee exacted from them for the privilege of selling the tickets. There is scarcely a barber shop bootblack stand, cigar stand or cheap tailorshop in the city in which these tickets are not kept for sale, and numerous agents go from house to house, from store to store, and office to oifice, peddling them. The newspapers, in open violation of law. encourage the swindle, by printing the lists of numbers drawn, and cock-and-bull Stories about lone widows capturing the capital prize, thus exciting the minds of Ihe credulous and causing them to put hard-earned money into the swindle. All gambling is bad but the gambling passion is inherent in human nature, take whatever form it will, and is irrepressible, lint.

come down to ihe po'it'cil exmomy of gambling, it were better for the community that one hundred faro games should be in operation dan that one Louisiana lottery should receive the immense patronage it dnes in this city; for. in the lottery case the money leaves the country, and in faro iind similar gambling, the money remains and circulates in the community, even the most virtuous tradesman or property owner getting a share of it. lam not upholding gambling, hut the point 1 want to make is, while the Police Department is so rigid sboul suppressing BITO, it might exercise a portion of its zeal in stamping oul the lottery business, and then, if it had a few moments spare time, it might pay some attention to the numerous vile dive-; with which the city nil but overrun. THE CHINESE QUESTION. Another Way to Manuge Measure It the Golden Kule.

lIKCORn-l'NioN, which maintains views regarding the Chinese question opposed to the tenor of the following letter, believes in free, lair and full discussion of the question. The following communication is therefore accorded space, for if the position we adhere to, in common with the mass of the people, cannot bear criticism it should be overthrown. The writer of the letter we know to be a worthy, calmminded and valued citizen, and we can vouch for the integrity of the norn de plume he adopts, since he has taken punishment as one of the boycotted." Ens. Eds. Ueoibd-Union All men are born free and equal, and arc endowed with certain inalienable rights among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." I quote the above words.

I mention this fact, fearing some people might imagine I was the author of them. No, lam not. They have been heard often in the Eastern states, and perhaps there are some people in California who have heard them before. Their meaning seems a little difficult to comprehend. A few years ago there were very many people who thought that the word white had been left out by some mistake, and thai liiby did not include the black man; but 11 wave of events which were neither intended nor foreseen by the controllers of public policy swept over the country and proved to the world that they did include the black man.

Now, there are many people on the Putu coast who seem to think they do not include the Chinamen; but 1 believe the great United American bean has accepted their full import as an eternal truth, which should apply to every inhabitant of the United Slates ot North and there are line US with iriewa so broad that they would include every inhabitant of the world. 1 admire such men but ihe iact that there are nice an ipathies, which are not conducive to harmonious commingling in iiiti relationship, seems too palpable to and il is also evident thai difference in language is a non-conductor perfect harmony, and the question of whether it is best or not to give the words their broadest scope 1 think may safely be left to the wiser heads of our representatives in Congress, who are not deficient in either intellect, ability or patriotism, and who perhaps, the peers of the statesmen of any nation on earth. They have already, by treaty and enactments, checked the influx from 'hina, and some among us think it would be equally wise to check the in flux from some other countries, because the advantage for bettering their condition which oar country offers to outside people render us more liable to be Overrun by undesirable foreigners than any other country on the face of the globe, excepting Africa. To any one high enough to take bird'seye view of the events of the world this might appear, at first glance, like adopting the policy ut some barbarous and halfcivilized people which we, with some Other civilized nations, forced them at the mouth of the cannon to abandon but really the circumstances are as entirely different as the different ownerships of the animal which gored somebody else's animal made the case appear to the lawyer when the farmer stated it. in a story found in an antique spelling-book.

We are civilized, and they nave no right to feel antipathy to us: while they are no more than halfcivilized, according to our standard, and we have a right to feel antipathy to them. Opinions are influenced a good deal by selfish interests. Those who can utilize Chinese labor or custom to their own benefit can see no better reasons for keeping the Chinese out of the country than exist for keeping other foreigners out; while those who find them formidable competitors in labor, trade or manufactures are quite positive that they ought to be kept out. Others, probably more numerous than both these classes, who do not feel their influence either way. do not care particularly, only their race antipathy and prejudice make them prefer that the country should be settled up by people whose habits and customs are not so dissimilar to ours as to pievent them from being absorbed into our great and glorious nation as citizens.

1 presume there are many who have never felt any fear that our country would be either settled up overrun by the Chinese. In thirty years of unrestricted immigration, with the greatest inducements ever oflered I by any country, only about or SO.OW I (if I remember aright), by the census, accumulated on the I'acitic coast. while many millions of other foreigners were admitted on our Atlantic coast within the same length of time. Besides the great disparity in numbers, the Chinese, with few exceptions, did not bring families, nor make any preparations to settle and makes lifelong residence among as. for which we should be thankful, nlthough some urge this as a reason why they should not be allowed to come at all, and complain that they send their eai nings ont of the country.

Other people send their out of the country, and their right to do so is not questioned. That the Chinese leave more in the country, for the money they send out, than most others, cannot consistently be denied, in face of the great outcry that they da too niucn worK tor too irttle But without discussing the question of whether wisely or unwisely admitted, the fact remains that we have among us some 00.000 (more or Chinese, who seem to be an element of discord. That they have the same right to earn honest wages by honest labor as any other inhabitant, foreign or native bora, very few Americans will deny. To deny them this right would be brutal and inhuman and the, American people are not only human, they are humane. They will not stand peaceably by.

and see the Chinamen murdered and if they an not to be murdered, 1 to see what benefit is to be derived, by either employed or nnemployed citizens of California, by turning them out of their present employment That they will be competitors for labor, so i long as they are among us. is unavoidable, I unless we are foolish and wicked enough to make them ttampe and paupers by denyi ing them the right to earn an honest lir- I ing. It is admitted that they are industrij ous and traita which would he praiseworthy virtues in any of our citizens, but which are alleged against them as almost unpardonable. It is also well known that they are not governed in their demand lor wages, as Americans urc by what they think they OOghi to earn, but by what they can git. Are white laborers liable to get more work when Chinamen are offering to work for liny cents per day, than when they are working for $1 per day Notwithstanding the apparently popular clamor that the Chinese must be driven ont because white men and women are uttering for the want of work, 1 will venture the opinion that as a general thing neither the White men nor white women of California want the situations now occupied by the Chinese, What possible benefit can unemployed men or women of California derive from having a few hundred, or a few thousand, Eastern people brought here, to take the places of as many or shoemakers.

oi any other arc turned adrift to compete fox the little labor, the scantiness which is the great cause of complaint There may be a few Chinese employed at one dollar per day work which' some white men would like at two dollars per day, bat the larger portion of the Chinese are doing work which white men and Women of California are unfit for, and do not desire. Perhaps the employer can afford to pay one dollar per day to have the work performed and cannot afford to pay two "loiiars per day. Although many things Influence the price of labor, ability to pay ia an arbitrary limit Much work can be done at oiu dollar per day which cannot be done two dollars per day, for arbitrary reasons. ISut suppose employer can pay two dollars, is it not askiiu; a good deal to ask more than another will do the work for? and is it not asking a good deal to require a competent servant to be discharged and an mc impetent one taken in his place? It white men and women want the work, and are competent, they have in their favor difference of language, prejudice and race antipathy. Do they also want compulsion? Americans are very jealous of any infringement of their personal rights, and I opine will not long submit to such dictation as who they shall or shall not employ.

They may humor it for a little time, thinking it will soon blow over; or from fear of having their buildings burned, or of being boyci tted, or of the displeasure of their no good citizen wants the displeasure of his neighbors, even if but if persisted ia, and there are organizations to enforce such tyranny, there will be organizations to resist it, anil from my knowledge of the American people I will venture the opinion that, to say nothing of the Eastern States, those people in California who would attempt to enforce such dictation would be but a very small minority of the population. Such a state of society is not desirable, and I hope never to see much of such Old-World clannishness here. We have faults enough in our own society without importing more. My sympathies are with the laboring classes, ami particularly with those out of employment 1 can comprehend how desperate a man with a family may become, when, after hunting for weeks and months, he tinds no worki I can see how readily he grasps at anything which promises relief; and how he may even consent to do, what he knows in his own heart is wrong, to others, with the hope that it will benefit his loved ones. Bat I firmly believe that no good can be accomplished by ignoring the personal rights of the humblest, or denying any human being the right to earn an honest living by honest labor wherever he or she can find it.

When I look back and see the results of the attempts of the working men of California to better their condition, it appears to me that they neither comprehend the causes ot theirsituation nor adopt remedies which can do them any permanent good. The (comparatively) few Chinese we have among us are not (in comparison) as a spoonful of water to a bucket full. In the port of New York alone from two to three hundred thousand laborers have been landed every year, for an unstated time past, most of whom have very little money, and seek employment from others who have not sufficient for, say, a tenth part of the applicants. There must inevitably be Buffering where there are ten laborers who want the work which is only sufficient for one. If they would settle down on land as fanners they would be a blessing to the country instead of a curse.

Probably most of them could not get land want of means if they would, and too many would not if they could. Those who are "willing should be helped. Our colonization societies undoing good in a small way, hut Government aid is needed, in my opinion. Laboring men want high wage's, and assert that they cannot live in California without To me it is perfectly plain that it is only those who are engaged in enterprises which retain large profits, who either will or can pay big wages; and yet the moment tiie projectors of such enterprises are believed to be getting rich, a cry of grasping monopoly" is raised. They must be crashed or the country is ruined." Workingmen of California, what benefit Lave you derived from a policy which forced a railroad of the few, which have paid hlghl wages for lab ir than we have any record of pverhaving been paid for the same kind oi work, on any such scale of magnitude, in any age of the world; tirst, to reduce the compensation of employes, and then to discharge from six to ten thousand to compete for tlie already too scant employment? It takes large sums ol money to carry on such enterprises, which can only be obtained by borrowing; and it makes a material difference whether bonds offered as security are worth seventy vents on ihe dollar or only thirty cents.

Don't let an envious bar that somebody will accumulate more property than he' ought to own. blind you to your own interests. Suppose one man has acquired two hundred millions, if it consists in thousand of individuals Lave been employed in their construction, and thousands are required to operate them and when he dies he cannot take them with him they still remain, to give employment totlr osandsmore; and whether the ownership or control ot such roads is vested in a thousand men, ten men, or one man, dues not trouble me; and whether it makes any material difference to the employes, 1 leave to the common sense of every interested Individual. To go back to the Chinese subject. That the Chinese have been vililied.

misrepresented and mistreated by many, in a manner which should shame a people who call themselves civilized, are well known facts. That they have faults and and that some among them commit crimes the same as among otherpeople is true. Their faults and vices should, in justice, be treated the same as such faults and vices in and their crimes should be (and I believe are i punished in the same manner as though committed by others. ISut when their faults and vices and crimes are alleged as sufficient reason for declaring the whole race a nuisance, it seems to me a horrible outrage and I wonder how anybody's ideas ot justice can have become '9o distorted. As individuals we all commit errors as communities in cities and townships we commit errors; as communities in counties we commit errors as communities in States we commit errors as one great national community we commit errors but if we respect the inalienable rights of all men and follow the golden rule, and try to live neighborly, in the sense as portrayed in the story of the good Samaritan, We shall survive all of our errors.

Hut if we vie the rights of any. countenance oppression of' the weak, from race antipathy or any other cause, we commit a crime against justice which will surely be followed by retribution.

I 1 Boh. WiUiam C. BndlcoU, Secretary War, I. 8., Sib: Your memorialists, the Miners' ciation of OalUornia, represenrins marly lOOhydranlk mining claims, held by patent froai the (iovernrnent of the United and upon which they have expended in improvements incident to the prosecution ol this class of mining the sum ol (approximately, as found by Dnited States Circuit Jndge Sawyer) $100,000,000, respectfully desire to eater their protest against certain statements contained in a memorial addressed to you and indorsed by ihe Board of Trustees ol Sacramento city on October 26th, and sabseqaently by a Dumber of individuals composing the Board of Snpervisan of San Francisco, but not officially, on November lTrh. Voui- memorialists, as citizens of the I rated States, and as representatives of the mining industry, are now, ever have been, and are still desirous that the General Government take measures to protect the navigability of our streams by the judicious expenditure of such sums as have heretofore been appropriated for that purpose-, but have been withheld by your predecessor on false representations, and which are now ftproduceJ in the document hen tnabove referred to, it being a duplicate of the preamble and resolutions emanating In.m the "Anti-Debria Association of Marygvule.

Neither oi these documental contains any suggestions whatever with reference to a proper expenditure ol the appropriation of $250,000 already made and withheld during the term of office of Hon Robert Lincoln. The whole tenor of the document is an appeal for the interference of Federal departments in matters now in abeyance in the Federal and State Conns, based on statements, some of which ore totally erroneous, and others matters of controversy. While your memorialists admit that the navigable condition ol the Sacramento river during the low-water season is in deplorable condition, we deny that hydraulic mining as alleged, the prime factor, and snomil thai the condition of the river is in large degree due to natural causes, and to the incidents following the settlement and cultivation of the country on its watershed, combined with the loosening of vast amounts ol earth in the search for gold a 1 an early period of our history. Tins material, which was enormously in excess of all deposits since, was deposited in the mountain streams long before hydraulic mining was known, and has gradually worked its way town to the mam riveri mingling en route with the detritus from all classes of mining hydraulic, drift md quartz as well as from agricultural and other can es. The two latter classes o( mining have in the aggregate and are now supplying as much, if not more, than the hydraulic mines, and any action by the Federal departments tendina to hamper or obstruct the business of hydraulic mining will of necessity apply to all cusses ot' mining.

In this connection we respectfully submit that hail the congressional appropriation ofrj $25,000 been expended on the rivers by your ssor, the supervision ot the proper Government engin there would not have been cause of complaint, and we reassert that the obstruction to the expenditure was by the direct actol the authors of the memorial hereinbefore referred to-thc. Ami-Debris Association of Marysvilie, bile we recognize that it is the province of your department to take cognizance of the condition of the bays and harbors, the navy yards, arsenals forts and other Government property as well as navigable rivers, we respectfully suggest that authentic and reliable data these subjects can be obtained only from the recorts of the War Department, and through Us resident officers and engineers The Boards of Supervisors of the different counties can have no personal or official knowledge of the subject matter of tie memorial. Your memorialists further represent that the statements of the memorial in respect to the quantity of land covered by mining debris, its. value and the amount of gravel put in the streams are widely at yariar.ee with the facts and are not sustained by any official report emanating from a Government or State engineer, or by any judicial finding, either federal or State. To controvert those statements in detail would be a loss of tune.

They rest merely on the dvii of unscientific and irresponsible bodies, so far as the issues involved are concerned. We repudiate with indignation the charge that "a considerable number of the hydraulic mining corporations, and also individual owners of mines, continue to run great of debris into the rivers, in defiance of law." And wo assert rhat no mines are being run without the knowledge and sanction of Federal and State Courts which have assumed jurisdiction, and in their wisdom have judicially decreed that such mines may be worked lawfully when the property of others is not injured. Your memorialists further represent tuat the average producing capacity of the gold mines of California is at least $20,000,000 per annum, bur that by reason of litigation arising between farmers and miners and the insecurity to mining property resulting therefrom." the gold product has been reduced to and is in danger of falling to OOOorlesa per annum in the near future Tins baa been attended with much business depression and suffering, pending the 1. adjustment of the rights of the parties litigant; but the whole matter has now resolved itself intoafew problems of law and engineering, which can be settled without theinterventK.n of your department, other than in the performance of its functii na as a protestor of Government property We further represent that the gold-bearing period of life in our State, based on an average production ol twenty million per annum, cannot be predicated with any degree of certainty-, but from data compiled from official and scientific sources we reel confident in placing the minimum term nl LOO years, and even then our mines will not be exhausted. We assert without fear of contradiction by good engineering authority, that a very large percentage of the auriferous gravel to be washed may be retaine 1 in the mountain streams by proper dams, so it will never reach the navigable rivers in a quantity tax their carrying capacity in the least, when such riven are improved.

Many such dams have already been constructed and maintained, some of them with the knowledge and sanction oi the United States ircuit tourt and both the Federal and State Courts have uniformly decided that on a proper showing ol the restraint of any mining debris com plained of, they would modify or dissolve the injunctions heretofore issued. Tinburden of the construction of such dams would fall on, the miners, who are willing, to the extent of their ability to assume it. on the assurance of non-intervention from sources other than the Conns. Your memorialists, however. to call your attention to the fact that it unjust to the present mining interest to impose upon it.

if it was able to sustain it, the entire expense now of such restraining structures as your engineers might depm necessary, in' improving the navigable rivers, which improvements musl commence in the tributaries, now laden and tilled with detritus from all sources since gold was. Brat discovered. That the miners are not only desirous, but to aid the Government in work is evident from the oiler that was made to your predecessor, to give to the Government the sum of $125,000 provided the Government would devote a like sum oik of the $350,000 appropriated to the construction of a single restraining dam in the Tuba river, to prevent material now there from corning down into the lower river. This application of a part of the appropriation was defeated by those who are still opposed to any expenditure gold grave! mining in California has entirely ceased), and who hare prepared and forwarded to you the memorial lefeiied to The miners, as a eiasa, are not such outlaws as Miid memorial classes them, and to assure you of their sincere regard for our Courts and the laws, as well as thn belief that the evils complained of from mining iebria can be easily cured without de- I stroying the mining industry but tiiis can (inly be done properly by the General ivernnient, in which work the miners will join heartily. they ask that instead of further oppressing diem and their industry, as requested by the anti-mining memorial hereinbefore referred to, the General Government come to their re- Hef in such a manner as its engineer-: nray deem most feasible.
