THE CHINESE.

Thevexed question as to the policy of
prohibiting Chinese emigration is again
up for discussion. The prohibitory law
passed by the last Legislature having
been recently declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court, the whole mat
ter must be gone over once more in de-
bate. The press has vigorously COM
menced it, aud the topic will soon en-
ploy Legislators. 1t is not likely any
new arguments will be advanced in ia
vor of prohibiting the dreaded emigra-
ton, while the opponenents of this pol
icy are afforded a strong one on their
side by recent international treaties.
Argument, however, in our opinion,
will have less influence in deciding the
question than prejudice. The principal
objection urged against Chinese emigra-
ton is, and always has been, the vague
fear that the country would be overrun
by horde of barbarians, or, in other
words, that our civilization is worth so
little, is so very feeble, that the weak
Asiatics may destroy it. The fact that
the maximum of our Chinese population
has never exceeded forty thousand du-
ring ten years Of uurestrained emigra-
ton, and during the most favorable mi
ming periods, is not considered suffi-
cient answer to this objection and we
shall hear it pathetically urged again
and again. The.best argument in favor
of restrictive measures is to be found in
the antipathy aim ost universally existing
on the part of the mining population
towards the Chinese. This has led to
many scenes Of lawless violence, and
only last Saturday disgraceful attempt
was made by some forty disguised men,
to expel the pariahs of the State from
the Diamond Springs mines. One sick
ems at the recital of so much rowdyism
and defiance of law on the part of Amer
lean citizens, and it is only because we
believe the authorities will be powerless
to prevent the frequent recurrence of
these, that we advocate the passage of
restrictive enactments Undoubtedly
honor and policy both demand liberal
conduct towards the Chinese on the
part of our State, and we would not fear
to let the question work its own solution,
but for the dread of "a greater evil at
home, already limited at.
II is rather humiliating to aoknowl
edge the necessity Of yielding to popu-
lar lawlessness, but so long as such ne
cessity seems to exist, perhaps the best
course topursue is to prevent the entry
of the Chinese to the mines, where their
presence seems most Objectionable, by
increasing the license to a very high
amount This would have the effect to
check the emigration materially, at the
same time that it would not appear SO
illiberal to the Chinese themselves as
would more radical policy.
The hydraulic press., 1859-01-29

The State Registrar observes that the
most numerous among the causes OF
death in California, according to his
statistics, is consumption The greater
number of the deaths recorded among
the Chinese are attributable to this dis
ease. This is, perhaps, owing some
what to the difference in climate, but
more to this race living, in many cases,
In damp, ill-ventilated, and, in a great
number of instances, in underground
tenements. Several deaths from con-
sumption among the California Indians.

the customs of civilization, are among

The Marysville Democrat tells hor-
rible tale about an insane man, named
Brett, who was put into stage, mana
cled, and transported to Stockton during
the late cold weather No attention
was paid to him on the route, and his
feet were frozen. On his arrival at
Stockton, he was thrust into mad cell,
with cold asphaltum floor, and no med
ical attention afforded him for six or
seven days! His severe sufferings re-
stored him to reason, but it is feared he
will have to submit to amputation of both
legs.

DAILY NAIL TO MARYsvILLE.-It
will be remembered that mail route
was last year established between Ma
rysville and Forest City via North San
Juan.
We have been informed on good au-

on this route by the first of next Sep
tember This is a long time to wait
for thing so much needed, but there
is no cause for complaint in the matter.
With daily mail connecting us with

road from there to Vallejo, we shall be

LEGISLATION FOR THE Poor MAN.

LEGISLATION FOR THE Poor MAN.
Hon. j. S. Slingerland, Assemblyman
from Yuba, has introduced an excellent
bill, having FORTS object the protection Of
laborers in the mines, by allowing them
to secure liens on claims, or other mining
property. Such law will save to many
poor fellow his hard earned wages, and
thereby benefit every mining community
where labor is largely employed.
Another bill. which deserves to be
noticed in this connection, is one intro
duced by Mr.. Lull for the purpose of ena-
bling poor persons to defend their rights
before the courts If the party apply
ing is not worth more than $500, the
Court assigns him counsel, who are re-
quired to conduct the ease without
charge, and if the applicant loses the
suit, he is not held for the costs,

INCORPORATION.

In view of the apparent impossibility
of getting the citizens to unite on any
plan for promoting the public welfare,
would it not be well to have the town
of North San Juan incorporated?
Repeated attempts have been made
to induce concerted action for the paw
ing of the streets, and for protecting the
place against fire, and each attempt has
proved discouraging failure. There
seems to be no likelihood that these i'm
portant measures will be carried out,
unless by some more prompt and efficient
means than have been yet employed.
Nothing can be suggested so likely to
accomplish what all admit is desirable,
as incorporation, and it is measure
which we heartily recommend.
The authority to incorporate towns is
vested in the board of supervisors. On
being petitioned by majority of the
inhabitants of any town or village who
are qualified electors, they are anthor-
ised to declare such place incorporated,
designating the metes and bounds
which are not to exceed an area of three
square miles-in the same manner as
described in the petition. Thus incor-
porated, the citizens elect board Of
five trustees, who hold office for one
year, and receive no salary, and also
choose treasurer, assessor and mar
shall, the last named acting as collector
OF the town taxes. The trustees are
empowered to make such bylaws and
ordinances as they may deem necessary
to prevent and remove nuisances; to
prohibit disorderly conduct; to provide
for licensing public shows, lawful games,
and liquor bars to construct works nee
essary for supplying the town with water
to regulate and establish markets to lay
out, alter, keep open and repair the
streets and alleys of the town; and to
provide such means as they may deem
necessary to protect the town from fire.
They are also authorised to levy pro-
perry tax not exceeding one per cent, a
poll tax Of not more than one dollar.
and dog tax of not over six dollars
per annum.
They may also order the election of
.atown recorder, to act as local magistrate,
and have jurisdiction over all violations
of the town ordinances.
1t will thus be seen, that, by having
the town incorporated, we can protect
ourselves against fire, have our streets
put in good condition, and be able to
protect ourselves against the rowdyism,
and drunkenness, and nuisances which
now annoy us without restraint These
considerations alone, without any further
argument, ought to recommend the
scheme to every citizen.

The jugglers are very clever. One of them

laid it on its side, where it remained with

at the top; and, after making sundry flour

ly as ever. Another top, when lifted up by
the spindle, made a noise exactly like YOUR
locust when held in the hard. A top was de-
clared to be female, and having let it spin
awhile, he took it up, shook it, and down fell
seven distinct tops, all of which whirled
merrily round. Another suddenly changed
into lantern, and, after whrling some time
the lampin the lantern was spontaneously
lighted. A piece of sewing thread, about
five yards long, was extended by two per-
sons; the exhibitor put top on this thread,
and it ran from one end to the other, Away

The same feat was reformed on the edge

a pole some thirty feet high was planted in
the ground from q cross bar at the top of
the pole small house was suspended llike
our martin houses) and from the door of the
house piece of twine hung down to the
ground: the exhibitor placed spinning top
on the palm of his left hand, and seized the
twine with his right; then, tossing the top
up in the air, he dexterously east a turn of
the twine around the lower spindle, and the
top instantly began to ascend the twine,
reached the door, which it forced open, en-
tered the house, and then quietly laid down
to rest In all this exhibition there was
neither trick nor deception; it was a plain
exhibition of skill.
