most delicate duties OF the shot
tower; and in the rough heavy
work of the rolling mill and smelt
ing furnace he seemed fully equal
to any task assigned him. More
over, his quickness of comprehen
sion enables him to understand al
most intuitively the most delicate
and complicated machinery, and
he manages it almost from the
first like one who had served a
regular apprenticeship. After
watching him closely, |. came to
the conclusion that whatever a
white man or black man can do,
he can do also. Applause.l
Bnt most especially do | consid-
er him a fit laborer for this region.
In the the first place, he wears
"the shadowed livery of tho bur
niShed sun to whom he is neigh
Dor and near bred" He comes
from country where sugar cane,
rice and cotton are largely pro-
duced. Neither our climate nor
our productions would be new to
him. Like the European ilnmi-
grants who are sorapidly opling
the Nor Invest, the Chinaman in
coming here would be following
isotherlnai lines. And then, too,
his patient, never-tiring industry.
fits him eminently for that peeu-
Liar species Of az .riculturai labor,
where, from twelve to fourteen
months are requi.r ed to make and
gather a crop.
But while the c hinaman lis pa
tient, laborious, tr actable, snbmis.
siye as child under kind treat
nent, he is prortd and sensitive.
and thouge he does not resent a
blow or harsh language, grows
morose, sulky, inefficient, when
either are a pplied to him. He
must be de alt with fairly and
treated kind IL. He is an educat
ed man. Gu lick, sharp and intel
ligent, he ca mot be circumvente(
or couzened He prides himsel
upon the al 1tiquity of his civiliza
tion, and Il links his country th,
front count ~ of the world; doe
not believe in the light Of expa
triati0n, ar I'd only consents to hir
for a tern of years in order t,
earn in th' is country high wages
during tn at term, a sum of none,
that will keep him through life i
his count ry of cheap living. Thi
is the Ch inaman in miniature, q
I saw hin 4 and learned him. M
deliberat q conviction is that, fe
the prest mt at least, and possibl
for all ii me he is not only the be-
and che; apest, but perhaps the on

may be agreed upon.
Finding this disposition to ex-
ist, made arrangements to send
to China, by the steamer to leave
San Francisco on the 4th of Sep
tember, and to contract with as
many as transportation could be
found for. Some 5000 or 10000
might have been obtained in time
for the the next crop. But just as
this arrangement had been COM
pleted, Mr.. Secretary Boutwell's
letter to the Collector at New Or
leans was published in the news
papers. This letter seemingly for
bids the coming to this country Of
any number of Asiatics undercon-
tract for labor, or service for a
term of years, entered into in a
foreign country; and, in conse-
quence of this apparent prohibi-
ton, the party who was to 90 out
TO China suggested that he could
not encounter the risk Of the great
outlay for chartering and nroviS-
ioning ships for these laborprs, so
long us it was probable, or even
possible that the Government
would Interfere with his deliver
ing them in iillfillment of the for
eign contract. But stated to me
that ii the land owners, and others
here who wanted this labor, were
willing to run the risk Of the Gov
ernment interfering he would 90
out on the October steamer and
bring as many as transportation
could be found for, to New Or
lnans. Going, out in October the
laborers could not well reach New
Orleans before February or March.
It is impossible to state with
precise accuracy what this labor
will cost, because in executing the
contracts before Chinese authori
ties, and having them certified
before the American authorities
there, certain expenses for fees
t which we do not know how to es
innate will have to be paid, Fol
neither the Chinese Mandarin mol
the American Consul will work
: without pay. / feel safe in saying
Z that from 5000 to $3.50 will cove
, every thing, of which 5000 mus
J, be paid on the arrival of the la
Y borer, and the residue at such in

Some silly people, understand,
are opposing the introduction OF
Chinese labor, because they saw
it is intended to push tho black
man out Of the country! If the
movers Of this enterprise had any
such motive, | would have beeu
the last man on earth selected to
carry it out. They know very we'll
that I prefer black labor to any
other. / know them to be bet

any other race Of people. During
| the late war they behaved for the
most part with great fidelity and
affection. During my four years
