The Chinese In California.

however, requires that the class of Chinese who come
here to mine should be allowed to at pleasure The

They DO not whether the Chinese who at work
arendustrous and frugal or not They look upon them
as their interiors, and want them out Of the way.
Though the Aatcs give way before the Americans and

their mining operations, for Americans will not tolerate

1t is the duty of cur legislators therefore, to shape
their action in reference to the state OF feeling actually
existing in the mines relative to the Chinese It is better
than to neglect all action till the evil becomes great
that people in the interior to violence to drive
out the Oriental ntruders. The plan of Mr.. Flint of

not greater and concomitsnt evils greatly ovarbear

we need not repeat them now. His objection to
the Chinese that they are committing great waste in
the mines, is: however, utterly groundless. They
nit greater waste than half Of the Americans.
Many Of the latter pay no regard to anything but the

Mr.. Flint must abandon this idea argument IN
favor of his plan, the miners, who understand their
own habits and those of the Chinese better than he
does, will laugh at him. The best way is to discourage
Chinese immigration and we know of no better way Of
doing this than by imposing a communication tax upon
them they arrive This tax, If heavy enough, will
tirely keep out the worst class OF Chnamen and will
discourage the general importation of the commodity;
ana those here are leaving as fast as they make
money enough 10 justify their return homewards, we
stop further immigration the evil will be gradually ana
surely done away, and no hardship violence will
