LETTER IRON MR.. SECRETARY BOUT
EfLTG CHELErpoR CASEY.
Collector Casey has feeel&ed FROM
Secretary Boutwell, the following
letter:
Sir: I am in receipt of your letter
of the 18th nit. covering a coRlmuni-
cation of Mr.. VIM. Greeyy, dated the
18th ult. relative to Importation oil
Coolies into this country, and asking
for instructions of the department.
Erepiy that Mr., Creepy is in error
in stating that the act Of the 18th OF
February, 1862, prohibiting American
citizens from engaging in the COOlie
trade has been abrOgated.
On the 10th of January, 1861, q
resolution was passed unanimously
by both Houses of Congress, express
ing the adherence of the people oil
the United States for the CoOlie trade,
and in conformity with this resolution,
Mr.. Secretary MeChlloch addressed to
the Collector of your port the letter d
the 18Th of August, 1861, q copy OF
which is inclOsed.
Additional article to the treaty be-
tween the ia Using Empire, concluded
az " ArilAH8tDA O4 VIC -oAA VI guy
last, and which now awaits the action
of the Emperor of China, reprobates
any other than the voluntary emigra-
ton and agrees to make it a penal
.ofiense to take Chinese subjects from
China without their free and volun-
tary consent.
The Department of State, by a'cir-
cular of 18th January, 1867, addressed
to Ministers and onsuls of the United
States, directs that the Consuls at
every port where Coolies may en-
bark, be required to certify after full
examination that such embarkatiOn
IS not forced or procured by fraud, but
Is voluntary, and requires that such
Uonsuls and Ministers use all the
authority, power and influence at
their command toward preventing
and discouraging the carrying on Of
such traffic, referred TO, in any way.
Such being the facts in the ease, you
are hereby authorized and directed to
use all vigilance in the suppression Of
new modification of the slave

THE o QUESTION.
Position of the Government on the
Subject.
New ontEANs. Juno 2a. 1859.

NEW ORLEANS, June 26, 1869.
Col. James F. Casey, Collector Of Gus
toms, New Orleans:
Sir: In our interview yesterday, 1
fear | neither succeeded in conveying
as clearly as l could wish my views as
to the introduction of Chinese labor
in Louisiana nor exactly cOmpre-
hended the position the National Gov
ernment, as understood through the
Treasury instructions to you, desires
to maintain on the question.
The act of Congress prohibiting the
importation of Coolies in American
ships was well known to me when |
had the honor of addressing the Hon.
Secretary of the Treasury, on the 18th
inst, but as ~IconceiYed that act was
entirely abrogated by a recent treaty
negotiated by the State Department at
Washington with a former minister
of this country to China, who is now
Of Chinese nationality, and was, when
the said treaty was negotiated, re.
ceived by this and other nations as a
duly accredited ambassador, fully en-
powered to make and complete trea-
ties for the Imperial Government of
China, ard binding upon 1t. Under
this treaty the people of China are
guaranteed all the rights and liberties
extended to American citizens in
China, among which it seems obvious
must be included in favor of the lat
ter the natural and reasonable n of
disposing of their individual labor for
the best price it will command in the
free market here.
On the Pacific slope of the United
States Ibelieve J am accurate in say
ing that coolies from China are con-
stantiy arriving in American ships
and in unestimated number. Can it
be, therefore, thai such immigration
is permissible and laWfulin C~alifqrnia
and not permissible and lawful in
the American territory of the United
States on the Gulf Of Mexico?
AS tam a shipping agent and ship
owner, and not a politician, l ask
for information, specific and authOri-
tative, from tire Treasury Department
on this subject for the benefit of the
tradeof this section, at the request of
many employers of labor, and in pur-
SuanceCfny own legitimate business;
and would earnestly ana respect
fully request the early transmission of
this Communication By you to the
Hon. Secretary of the Treasury, with
y9u NAV tbint TIE ifdp6rtaht matter
referred to demands at your hands.
Awaiting the explanation referred
to, / have the honor TO be, with great
respect, Yours, truly.

70 The McMinnville Enterprise says
Judge Shackelford twill receive the
Democratic vote, as a matter of
course" There is not the slightest
reason why he should; on the con-
trary, there is every reason why he
should not. The Democrats will
not forget the facility with which
the Judge adjusted his opinions Of
the franchise law to the demands Of
the Radicals, when the constitu-
tionality of that iniquity was tested
before a court which filled Brown
lows bill.

THERE is not the slightest proba-
bility that there will be a Demo
cratic candidate for Governor. Yet
the Press and Times assures Gov.
Senter that it prefers Stokes to him
because he possesses the greatest
availability" 1t then seeks to ap-
pease Senter by assuring him that
1" in the reorganization of the State
government his counsel and assis-
lance in the executive" department
have been invaluable. There is n
decidedly refreshing innocence in
this strategy which is more
likely to provoke smile from the
Governor than the frown the Press
and Times anticipates.

THE RADICALS AND sHACKtL-
- FORD


There is p disposition among the
Radicals to make war upon Judge
Skackeltord: They were afraid to
trust him, and hence he was thrown
overheard. While the Governor
could hold ia rod over. him. he was
treated as a very good sort Of fell
low, good enough at least to do the
dirty work of the party But when
it came to an election.by the people,
they had no further. use for him.
They had vivid recollection of his
course when the franchise law was
on trial before the Supreme Court,
for it.is generally believed he first
prepared an opinion declaring the
law Unconstitutional, and then
under the Radical pressure prepared
an opinion pronouncing the law a
marvel of constitutional perfection.
Their course shows conclusively
that they MOved the treason but
despised the traitor" The Nc
Minnville Enterprise makes this
very clear. In its issue of the Sth
inst. that paper says;
ave would not rob him Of any credit
that NAV be due him for services rem
dered the party. But be is not entitled
to ali the credit claimed. Ii is true that
he rendered Il decision sustaining the
franchise law, but there is less of credit
due him in that than is generally sup-
posed The proper credit, as was shown
in this paper few weeks ago, was due
more to the pen of Judge Patterson and
the argument of Mr.. Wisener than t.
Judge ShackeliUrd.'
This tells the tale The pressure
was brought to bear upon the
Judge, and hare is an mixing as tc
| how 1t was done. Here is the con
fession of Radical organ that thi'
opinion was a "seryice rendered
the party, but he is entitled to ne
credit for it since he WAS forced
into delivering the opinion he did

The Press and Times of yester-,
day comes out for Stokes "as the
Republican candidate for Governor
of Tennessee, subject. to the decision
Of the convention of the 2Oth.p
That paper graciOusly states that
it does this "with no purpose TO
forestall the action of the conven
ton. This disclaimer is timely,
otherwise the delegates might have
regarded their coming together q
work of supererogation.

G The Radicals of Buffalo Ridge,
in Washington county, met on the
LIST inst. and resolvedatkat Radical
Repubicanism has triumphed
over the combined power of the
bullet and the ballot" A very
frank confession, we must say.
They also resolved thst they will
support the man who they believe
" will 90 for the ! educ6on of the
taxes as far rs consistent with the
interests of the State as well as the
people, and will endea7orto bring
to punishment the thRves and rob
bers of the public funds" Well
said if it will be adhered to. The
taxes have become qutrage9usiy
highs and even "Ioyal East

ignore all true native Tennesseeans. /
/ take the GRAND that n true, Loyal
Tennessesan who stood BY the Federal
government during our late struggle, is
entitled to as much credit and equal
respect as the man who lived north Of
the Ohio river
+ So Stokes really thinks ainative,
provided he stood by the Federal
government, is as good asa car
pet-bagger. He looks upon the car
pet-bagger as the embodiment of all
that is creditable and respectable
ard thinks it possible for native tC
emulate his virtues, and that where
such a native can be found, HI
should be entitled to I" as mucl
credit and equal respect" as tn

Here IS an intiInation as to how the
laws have been administered by the
court Of last resort in this State.
The Judge who was understood as
having prepared the opinion sus-
tanning that monstrous iniquity |
known as the franchise law, is now
said TO deserve no credit for that
opinion, as it g was due more to the
pen of Judge Patterson and the ar
gument Of Mr., Wisener." Why did
not the Enterprise go on and
tell the whole story, instead
of limiting at it thus2 Why did
it not state that Judge Shackelford
had prepared an opinion pronounce
! ing the law unconstitutional, and
that his arguments were of such
a nature as to produce a panic
amongst Radicals Why does II
| not state that in this emergency
council of Radicals was called
when it was agreed that something
must be done to save the party :
Why does it not tell how the
: pressure was brought to bear, ana

D nounce the law in exact accordance
