FOREST HILL, May 4tb, 1867.
To the Members of the Miners Protection

GENrLEMEN:-Your Directory have the
honor to submit the following report for the
month of April, 1867.
During the past month, 10 anticipation Of
the session Of the Anti-Coolie Convention in
San francisco on the 9th instant, no action
has been taken by the League, beyond the
transaction of ordinary business and making
preparations, for the representation Of this
League in said Convention. For this pur-
pose your Secretary, Mr.. Dixon, and one of
your Directors, Mr.. J. G. Scott, we're duly
elected Delegates at your regular meeting
held on the Sd March last, and in accord
ance with the wishes of the League your
Directory framed instructions for the Dele,
gates which were submitted to and approved
by the League at your semi monthly meeting
on the l4th April last.
Your Directory have great pleasure in OBJ
esrving that the representation from various
parts Of The State TO the Convention will be
very general, that the Anti Coolie question
has been actively canvassed throughout
California, and new organizations formed
TO oppose the increase of Chinese imngra'
ton; while it is evident that the movement
in various portions Of the State has been
sensibly felt by the Chinese themselves, who
as a conciliatory act have prevented the
landing and returned TO China, certain Celes-
tial prostitutes, who had arrived at the sea-
board, with the intention of adding their at
fractions and infamy to the. decentralization
of California.
The usual monthly statement Of the Treas
urer will be placed before you aud the re-
port of the Finance Committee, from which
it will be seen that many have proved deliu'
quent in paying in the small sum Of 25 cents
per month dues, from each member Of the
League. By all responding to this call, a
fund would have been created at minimum
taxation which would have been in readiness
for any emergency, and which eventually
have been applied to the relief of the person,
al necessities of any member of the League
who should stand 10 need Of aid from the
Society," League established not only for
graphing with the Chinese question, but
also for protecting the rights aud interest Of
its members.
Mr.. J. c. Scott, one of your Delegates to
the Convention having rendered his resigna
ton, it becomes your duty to take action on
the same; should you accept such resignation
it will become necessary to determine the
advisabty of leaving the duties to one Dele
gate, and if it is deemed requisite to send
two. at once to nominate and elect another.
At your mex. monthly meeting ION the lst
June,) it will be your duty under section 4
articles and s, to nominate and elect Off
GERS and Directors for the ensuing term
commencing on the 1st July next.
We have &c, on behalf Of the Directory.
