A San Francisco dispatch to the New
York Euening Post says:
"Three japanese families have arrived
here under the auspices Of Prussian
named Schnell, an old resident of japan,
who were driven frem there in conse-
ouence of the defeat of the Northern
Princes. Thirty seven more families
are also on the way, and eighty addi-
tional families intend coming, making a
total of one hundred and twenty families
who propose settling permanently in this
State to cultivate tea, etc. They will
bring many mulberry trees, tea and bam-
boo plants, and intend purchasing gov
eminent land for immediate cultivation.
1t is not improbable that several OF the
Northern Princes will also come, and
bring many more industrious families
Two facts may be deducted from the
above. First, that the Mongolians are
coming to the States in large numbers;
and second, that they make good labor
ers. When we add to this the immense
emigration of laborers from all the coun-
tries of Europe, we may readily see how
fraiI tenure the African holds by. His
only hope, therefore, is to conoiliate the
whites who control the labor of the coun-
try. But if instead, he prefers to join
issue with the ruling class and dispute
empire with such his fate is sealed. A
very few years will solve this problem.

sworn to protect each other, and do not
believe they will let me be hung" There
was great excitement among the negroes
of the neighborhood, and fears were en-

them to rescue the prisoner, but no inter.
ference was attempted. The sheriff and
most of the officials who acted on the oc-

attended to the gallows by a guard Of
seventy men, all armed with guns and
pistols, thirty of whom were negroes. In
