What They Complain OF.

The New York Times has article in
reference to the complaints of the peo-
pie against the Government, justifying,
of course, the men who control the af-
fairs of the nation, in all that they have
done. 1t concludes the article referred
to by abiding to one of the sources
from which the surplus revenue is de-
eyed, and says: -
I'VE are told that aeousidcrable part
of the surplus revenue comes from the
sale OF war material by the Govern
ment. Well, suppose for moment that
it does. Is that any reason for ceasing
TO sell the old material?
Certainly not, but it is dishonest to
claim any merit for an income arising
from the sale of such material. The
Administration is not selling material
enough, 1t has steamships fitted for
commerce, and for which there are
ready purchasers, which it declines to
sell at their value. Unnecessary taxes
to keep up armies in the South--mnec-
essary taxes to the injury Of the people
at large, their business, their social life,
and the future Of the country, are what
the people complain Of.

Chinese Immigration.

Chinese Immigration, according TO
Senator Patterson. of New Hampshire,
is destiny, and by tens of thousands.
In lecture at Hanover, on China, re-
lating to his California trip, he is thus
rcportcd:w
"This is becoming living question,
East and West. You might as well at
tempt to legisla,e against the flow OF
Niagara as against the incoming of the
Cinnamon. They will come whether
You will or not, and that, too. by the
hundreds Of thousands. Forty millions
might come in. and China would never
miss them. The genius of orr institu-
tons admits them, but they must be as
similated-their long queues must be
cut oh.-they must be educated and
Christianizcd."
We don't know great deal about
John Chinaman but we know that he
is not of our race, religion, or talents.
The Chinese build temples, in which
they worship their false gods and have
theatres, in which their acting is most
pucrilc. They leave their wives be-
hind, and multiply their vices in their
new homes. Such people will hardly
assimlate with us, and, in any large
numbers, are certainly not desirable.
To come among US in the numbers sug-
gested by Senator Patterson, would
make them most undesirable as peo-
pie. They would control the ballot
box, and be as numerous in some of our
State Legislatures as the negroes are in
the South Carolina Legislature, where
they tax the whites 100000 for every
81 put upon their own race.

The Mission to HaytI.

Professor Ebenezer Bassett, negro, who
has been appointed United States Minister 10
Hayti, left Washington yesterday for New
York, en- route to the field of his diplomatic
labors. Assistant Secretary of State Davis
posted the gentleman fully as to the nature Of
his duties; but, as If acting in vindcation Of
the tenacity and fibre of the African brain, or
in condemnation of the Professors writing
master, he communicated President Grants
instructions verbally; 80 the Ambassador il
not burdened with written documents. The
more immediate point of his duty appears to
be to obtain from the Haytien government as
soon as possible the sum of thirty thousand
dollars due to US on naval claim-a task
which may appear very simple to the people
in Wall street, but bears quite q different
aspect In Port au Prince. Minister Bassett
expressed himself pretty freely with regard to
the political enemies Of gentlemen of color"
It Is certain that he himself is qui g an accom-
plished one, both in gastronomics and diplo-
macy, from the fact that during his stay in
Washington he boarded with one of the
Downings (George)-a name celebrated In the
culinary annals OF New York as first In the
supply Of ''oysters in every STYLE" ''F., X.

Incomes and OutgOes.

An emigrant comes to this country with hin
few hundreds In gold, and, after years of in
dustry, accumulates fortune and revisits his
native land, not to remain, but to let his old
friends realize and enjoy his thrifty condition.
He then returns to the country of his adoption,
and, around social table and amid smoking
bowls of punch or rivulets of lager, he relates
many an anecdote of old heaths and old heath
ers, old churches and old churchyards, old
schoolhouses and old dominies, old inns and
old innholders, old trysting places and old
sweethearts, old folks whom he loved, and
old fields in which he rollicked in his
youth. Perhaps tender recollection Of some
fair damsel is revived in the breast Of lis
tener as these stories are related, and tear
moistens his eye as the wel-spring of his heart
is touched. But IL is happy circle. They
revere the land of their birth, and, at the same
moment, rejoice that they live and are prosper
GUS In the land Of their adoption. How different
is the feeling Of people like these from thst
entertained by many who emigrate from old
governments to foreign dependencies Of the
same. Nearly all men with money who leave
the old land and 60 abroad to one ruled by the
flag Of their nativity go for the purpose Of

A LUCKY DoUsLAss.-Fred Douglass, Ju-
nior, son Of Fred Douglass, Senior, applied to
Mr.. Wolfe, Register Of Deeds, in Washington,
yesterday, for clerkship. Mr.. Douglass con-
fessed he belonged to q ''despised Glass;" yet,
Notwithstanding, had fought acceptably for the
Union as Massachusetts, soldier, adding that
he was son Of Fred Douglass man who
was held in bondage on account of the diff
ference Of caste-and printer; but his trade
was rendered useless in his hands in conse-
quence Of the exclusive action of the Printers
Unions on the question of color. Mr.. Wolfe
replied favorably, and Fred, Junior, is pro-
vided for. The 'Black Douglass" will likely
become o rallying cry, ss in Europe in the
olden time.

EIGHT HOURS A DAY.-The President took
very sensible view Of the Eight Hour Labor
law when he decided that It was intended
to mean ten hours pay for eight hours work.
Ifit did not mean that 1t was piece Of very
silly legislation and would have been no relief
whatever to the workmen in the public service.
Time Is too short and labor too heavy for the
employees in the government navy yards and
other public works to throw of two hours q
day II the pittance they are paid is to be
thrown of with them.

TIE BELL AND THE CARLE,-Ex-secretary
Of Estate Seward, as the people know, used bis
'1ittle bell" in Washington with great vigor
during the early months of the war. The bell
was neglected, however, when he seized hold
of the Atlantic cable and commenced to cor
respond with our Minister, in London, on the
Alabama claims by submarine telegraph.
Senator Sumner pointed out yesterday that
one Of these dispatches cost forty thousand
dollars in gold. How much did the whole
series cost? The cable men want their money.
When will II be paidr Can England be made
to discharge the item2 The bell was danger

The Texas Election and the Cotton Crop.
While from Texas we receive the pleasing
assurance Of General Reynolds that he can
hold the election In that State in July II the
President orders him so to do, from Washing
ton comes the statement that General Grant
has told some peripatetic politician that no
election will be held there until November. II
this be true no more unwise resolution could
be taken by the administration. A State cleo
ton In Texas will require an sgitated political
canvass for four, II not for six, weeks previous
to the day Of voting. This would involve all
the month Of October and good portion Of
September In an excitement in which the freed
men take delight, and for which they are
willing to abandon any and every labor.
Texas to-day has planted in cotton one
third more land than ever before, and this
turmoil among the laboring class will be
created in the height Of the picking season.
Such step cannot but have disastrous effect
in diminishing the amount of cotton gathered,
and reduce materially the gold resources of the
government and the country during the coming
season. The prospects for the coming cotton
crop Of the South are sufficiently reduced
without President Grant adding his assistance

The CABs-WHEN SHALL WE HAVE
THEM3-The Legislature passed an act incor-
porating company TO run cabs in this city on
the same plan which has proved so convenient
in London and many Of the principal cities in
Europe. Such system would be an especial
convenience here, and the want Of IL has long
been felt. It is said that the parties who pro-
pose to put line Of cabs on our streets are
prepared to commence operations as soon as
the vehicles are imported from Europe, and
that all the capital required is ready for in
vestmcnt We have seen the bill 20 through
both houses of the Legislature and receive the
signature Of the Governor. Now we want to
see the cabs running on our streets. That is
the final and important point.

to diminish them still more. We urge upon
him, therefore, for the good of the whole
country, not to delay this important measure
beyond the period when the crop is laid by to
ripen for the harvest. Let this election be
held in July, before the harvest begins. 1t is
bad enough to have speoulators and selfish
politicians to urge their petty interests before
those of the country, but General Grant should
not lend himself to such infamous purposes.

GOLD CONC DowN.-There was a rather
sharp decline in gold yesterday; but as the
cliques which control the market were on the
''bear" side the fall did not hurt them. The
sufferers were the small spectators who were
tempted by the recent advance to purchase for
a still further rise. The cunning old operators
got wind Of Secretary Boutwell's intention to
sell an additional million of gold, and stood
from under In time.

Salt George to the Rescue,

The discussion Of tho cotton supply,
cotton trade, and cotton manufactures
now going Oh in England, will do an
incalculable amount of good to the
South. There is about three times rs
much machinery for manufacturing
cotton i'll England as tho commerce of
that country calls for, and consequent.
ly it is lying idle and yielding no
profit, nor can it yicld any profit, until
the supply of cotton is increased in
three-fold proportion. The question,
therefore, is being asked, "what is to
be done with it :" and tho answer be.
ing given by tho most intelligent
thinkers on the subject, is, "sond it
along with tho skilled labor to tho
Southern United States. This is
sound counsel, and wo believe will, in
year or two, DO adopted. "Send
labor to the Southern Unitod States,
and triple the production Of cotton"
say others. But the first plan is the
best way Of carrying out the second.

often urged upon tho attention of It's

Cooperative Provi ION Unions.

Wise men look stern fact stern
ly in the face, and having fnlly
comprehenIcd it, then master the
means of wisely dealing with it. The
provisions raised in South Carolina
cannot possibly feed the people of the
State and their stock later than the
first of April next. Provisions TO
last after that, must bc provided by
an offensive planting Of grain crops
and vegetables and by purchasing
from abroad. Now it is on tho sub
jcct of purchasing that we desire to
throw out a hint. Lot planters in
every ncighborhood combine, throw
their cnsh Quo crcdiU into common
fund, and employ skiful and honest
agent to buy their corn, salt, bacon,
sugar and mo!asscs, at Wholesale pri-
ccs, from wholesale dcalcrs. They
will thus save at least fifty cents on
every dollar What do our people
Not lose yearly by ncglccting the great
principle Of cooperation ? In many
respects, Southern planter gets no
more good from being u member of So
ciety than lIottcntot. And yet he
pays taxes for tho privileges of socic.
ty, whether he uses them or not.
