\ paragraph in the Bulletin yesterday,
to the effect that the late Mr. Schulz was a
member of the German Lutheran church, has
been construed to mean member of the Cairo
German Lutheran church. As the fact that
the Presbyterian minister. and not the resi-
dent Lutheran minister, accompanied the re-
mains to the cars may occasion unjust infer
ence', we feel called upon to say that Mr..
Schulz, although of the Lutheran faith, Chis
father having been minister Of that society
was not connected with the Lutheran congre-
cation in Cairo.

THE CONFLICT OF RACES.
English View Of tho Chinese Question.

Alone among tho races of tho
world the (thc Chincsc) confront tho
lins,I>hman. and produce as much
work with less pay. Other laborcrs
arc often found to work for less wages
than the English laborcr, but they
prove liz the cUd the dearest work.
! men to employ, because Of the insuE-
ficicncy of what they turn out. Tho
Chihaman in q large range of cm-
p!oymcnts ovcrcomcs this difficulty,
and shows q balance in his own favor,
and the resentment to the manual Ia
borcr he uEdcrhids is q necessary consc-
qucnce. eve cannot live" the Cali
fornian in effect says, "undcr that
which satisfies a Chinese" and, in
pursuance of that sclfprcscrvation
which is the first law Of nature ho
proceeds to beat and stone him in tho
street.
We venture to think the conflict of
races in California will not be solved
~ Ahil'"i y o"'lco VI SliccC outf:lScS.
1t would appear that in California it.
self there are persons who find tho
presence of the Chinese useful and
convenient. Tho Californian sections
of tho Pacific Railway were made
with their assistance, and whilo
tho work was thus chcaply
done, it bears comparison with tho
sections completed by "navviso" from
another world. Tho same mail
which tells us Of the vigorous steps
taken in California, informs us that q
convention has been held at Men,
phis to devise means of bringing
Chinese into the cotton, sugar, corn
and rice fields Of tho South. The
Mississippi and Missouri Valleys, tho
mines Of Colorado, Nevada Arizona,
the prairics still haunted by Indian
tribes, may be contested between tho
Chinese and American immigrants.
1t is Impossible to suppose that tho
Chinese can be kept out, and spccu-
lation may be better employed in con-
templating the functions they may
hereafter discharge in tho wonderful
polity into which the States arc dcs-
tined to grow. Inheriting civiliza-
tion more ancient and cconimic meth
ods more perfect than the European
can boast, but destitute of that
strength and toughness of moral fl
brc which supports authority, the
Chinese may be welcomed as assis-
tants in colonization; they need not
be feared as the dominating race Of
the future.

taken the stump against the Orientals. He
alleges that they are not fitted for this conti-
nent that they should not be tolerated upon
it, and that they should be savagely ostra-
cized In accordance with these views, or
ganizations have been formed not only to
harass the Chinese, but to persecute the
white men who employ them, and to threaten
those who persist in hiring Chinese laborers
and servants
According to the accepted doctrines of
political economy, this policy is not only
cruel and wicked but short-sghted and sui
cidal. The next worst thing to driving from
a country a body of useful and industrious
native citizens, as the French drove out the
Huguenots, is to prevent the immigration of
skilful laborers from other lands; and it is
especially necessary for nation which pos
sesses an immense uncultivated domain to
welcome aid from every quarter.
As the industries Of Europe have been natu-
rallied on our Atlantic coast, the industries
of Asia may speedily be established on the
borders of the Pacific; and the cultivation of
tea speedily follow the culture of the null
berry tree and the raising of silkworms.
Millions of Chinese are ready to seek their
fortunes in America, if they can be assured of
protection and moderate wages in exchange
for steady and not unskilful toll. The mere
fact that their hue and race are different
from our own is no adequate rea-
son why their services should not be
utilized. 1t is said that they all wish to re-
turn to their native land after they have
amassed wealth; but even this reason would
not justify their exclusion, and there is little
doubt that their disposition to become per-
manent residents would be greatly increased
if prosecutions ceased. What we are chiefly
concerned in is their capacity as workers, and
this has been thoroughly tested.
