ASLANDER.-In "nursng its wrath to keep it
warm," for the next war against the Yankees, the
Mobile Tribune perpetrates the following libel on
California:
"In the State OF California, there are about 100,
600 Chinese Yankees lasgely in the majority IN
that State. Are the Chinese allowed to vote there.
No. On the contrary they are prosecuted as poor
people never were before-iiil Yankees were erea-
ted. Yankee children pull their pig-tails; Yankee
dogs bark at and bite them: Yankee county courts
do them injustice; Yankee city courts imprison
them on false charges: Yankee individuals bully
them. In word, the Ceesfials stand no more
chance among the Yankees of California than do
their brethren that join the congregation OF the
opposite sect in place away down below We
have this from an eye witness.
Whatever else the Yankees may excel in, it is evil
dent that this "eye witness can beat them at ly-
ing. II is not true that the Chinese the recipi
ents of intentional injustice in courts. All hu
man tribunals are liable to err, and the fact they
have language, customs and habits so essentially
different from those OF America may be the cause
of an occasional injustice being done them. They
have no more proper idea OF a judicial oath, than
a rebel has of an oath Of allegiance. They ac
knowledge no Supreme Being out of China. where
they have set up Josh to worship, just as the
chiyalry of the South did and consider it no crime
just the rebel chivalry do to swear to anything
not prohibited by their creed. The blasted Yam
KEGS have overthrown the Josh reared by the Chiv-
airy, and it is not improbable that the Yankee
steamships that will commence their trips to China
next month. may be the means of overthrowing the
Josh Of the Chinese. When they first came to Cal
ifornia, they were treated very much as other men
were treated, and were allowed to testify against
the Caucasian race in our courts. But one day it
cutting off chickens head. and afterwards cooking
and eating the chicken, did not constitute the most
sacred and nviolabe oath imaginable. 1t happen
ed in this way: A high toned chiv., named Hall
up in FL Dorado county in SO, too lazy TO work,
and who had been unfortunate in not obtaining his
tirthright of holding office, arraigned charge
Of numbering and robbing Cinnamon. The China
men swore point blank against him, and he was
found guilty and setenced to be hanged. His case
was appealed to the Supreme Court of the State,
on the bench Of which then sat such Southern men
as HeydenfeIt who knew only the Josh of the
ehivalry, and such eminent horse-racing and muir
dering chvalry jursts as Terry, who was since a
Colonel in the rebel army. and amused himself and
his regiment of hightoned Christian chivalry, by
hanging Federal Surgeons and Chaplains, who had
volunteered to minister to the wants and comforts
of his Federal prisoners. Well this high old Court
decided that it would never do to hang a chivary
gentlemen on Chinese testimony. So the latter
were declared Mongolians and Indians, and their
testimony was excluded from courts except as
against their own class. With this exception, they
have full justice and standing in our courts. And
the Yankees had little nothing to do with fixing
up that arrangement. An old chiv. named Gwin,
who had formerly stolen 1000 from the Govern
ment while U. S. Marshal in Mississippi, and who
had been out OF that State because he did not
divide with JEFF. Davis, (since the Christian Pres
dent of the Devils rebellonD was in the U. s.
Senate from California, and his bummers and ad
herents filed up and choked every avenue of the
State Government. The Yankees were pursuing
their business avocations erecting quartz mills pro-
jecting railroad improvements, ETC., and regarded
the contest for life and death between the chivalry
and the Chinese as of no more consequence than
the old original fight between the rattesnake and
the skunk. 1t is true that the Chinese of Califor
MIA have since been murdered and robbed with i'm
punity when there were no white witnesses pres
ent; but it has been done by class of worthless
chvalry who had been reared in idleuess, and who,
after the commencement of the rebellion, like the
gallant chivalry raiders of St. Adams, usually
held the warrant of JEFF. Davis the Christian Pres
ident of the Chvalry Confederacy as their author
ity for the murder and robbery they were commit
~ A. cla tba of
no particular account except as laborers and to pay
a foreign miners tax. Their business is done with
China and through Chinese merchants. Their dead
are shipped back to China because they cannot go
to the bosom of their JOSH if they are buried out
side of the Chinese Empire. Their industry is of
the Flooding order, and usually successful. 1t is
but recently that eight hundred left in a sim
gle ship for China, carrying with them over
quarter of million of dollars. They know moth
ing about voting. and until they conclude to abide
permanently in the country, and learn to prefer
onr institutions to those of their own do not care
TO vote. They are denied no right that they could
ehtain were the ballot given them. Those of them
who are born and educated in America. WILL in
time exercise the right of suffrage under the pro-
visions of the Civil Rights law. So will the freed
man. SO will the late rebels, if they only behave
themselves as well as the freedmen and Chinese.
