The CHINESE PRoBLEM.-Next in import
ance to the Indian question is that trouble
some query-what shall be done with the
Chinese? We have allowed the privilege of
residence in our midst to about &c, 900 semi
barbarous, morally offensive people, who
can never become citizens, who have Gus
toms worse than any known to Mormonism,
who do not learn our language, and who
come into injurious competition with our
own laboring classes, thereby causing fire.
quent brols and tumults. This is all bad
but how can the obnoxious element be re-
moved without wrong on our part? 1t is
proposed to effect this end by gradually in
creasing the present tax on Chinese miners
till it shall reach $50 month As the great
majority of the Chinese come here to dig
gold, and as they work the poorest diggings,
this tax would be more than they could pay
and they would be compelled to leave the
mines and ultimately the country So rea-
son the advocates of the bill now before the
Legislature. They see the evil and take a
direct road towards removing it, without
considering how much greater evils they
may cause by so doing. They make no al
lowance for the poverty of thousands of the
Pariahs in our midst who would suffer cru
city from the effects of the contemplated law,
nor do they stop to estimate the amount of
damage that would be done our own people
were these Mongoians suddenly removed
The finances of many of the mining counties
would be seriously affected and some of
them would be compelled to resort to special
taxation in Order to prevent insolvency. But
this is a secondary consideration. IF the
Chinese are really social nuisance no scru-
pies of economy should avail to prevent
their expulsion. Humanity, however, de-
mands law somewhat different from the
above; one that will prevent any more of the
offensive race from coming here, without
working cruel hardships to those already in
the eonatry, who have acquired rights which
are just as much entitled to protection as
our own. If the provisions of the proposed
law were made to apply only to Chinese who
shall arrive after certain date and if those
now here or who shall have arrived before
the date fixed, were required to procure
certificate, from some officer empowered to
give it, showing the date of their arrival,
there would be very little addition to that
class of our population, and the thousands
already in our midst would gradually thin
off, by death and emigration, meanwhile
paying taxes as at present, until the problem
would be solved, quietly and without wrong
doing. We have never had that fear of the
Mongolians which operates like nightmare
in the imagination of SO many Californians,
and could never see just cause for appre-
hending any material increase in their num-
beFs but the people appear to be unanimous
in favor of exclusive legislation, and to pre-
vent the violence certain to ensue if the gen.
eral wish is disregarded, We hope to see some
law passed that will accomplish the desired
end.

from DR.. Scott, it contains a review of Mrs.

prove on the part of the aathoress "a grow

the Gospel" The writer rather impelitely
snubs Mrs. Stowe for presuming to meddle
with theology at all, and is somewhat
amused at "the air of wisdom which,. he
says, the philosophers of the Atlantic
