Coopmanschap, the agent for procuring
Chinese laborers, who attended the recent
Memphis Convention, is native of Hol-
land, and emigrated to San Francisco
when quite young. He turned his atten-
'ion to Chinese immigration as early as
1880, established house at Hong Kong
and shipped from there large numbers of
Chinese to San Francisco. In 1860 these
iaborers returned to China laden with their
ten years earnings, and their reports of the
wealth of California, led others to seek to
enrich themselves here also. So that now
there is general anxiety to come to Amer
ica' and there is no difficulty in procuring
as many of them as may be needed. The
law OF 1862, which it has been alleged pro-
hiblts the Coolie trade, presents no barrier
to voluntary Chinese emigration. 1t SIM
Ply requires for the purpose a permit from
consul or consular agent of the United
States, who must first be satisfied by per-
sonal evidence of the fact. There will be
no difficulty in complying with the law by
the thousands of Coolies who may desire
to come hither to engage as laborers upon
the plantations of the South, or in the
helds, or mines and quarries of any other
OF the States. Already there is prospect
OF their introduction into the coal mines of
Pennsylvania and other places, and into
the quarries and mines of the country at
large. They have been tried upon rail-
roads and canals, and have been found to
be very efficient laborers wherever employ
ed They may be hired for from eight to
twelve dollars per month, and are said to
be active, docile, and easily controlled.

TO Mr. Fish we present these assuring
facts, in the hope that they viii help him to a
speedy recovery of his he ilth But we have
few words to say to him in regard to these
Spanish complications. The people of the
United States have recognized the belligerent
rights of the Cuban republic, and are fast
taking an attitude which will vindicate our
national rights and national duties amid the
great events that attend us. They see, too,
and comprehend the petty party policy which
would make bluster about the Alabama claims
cover up and hide your delinquency in the
higher duties which attend you in the Ameri-
can questions now pressing for a solution.
If you rouse yourself to the duty of the hour
the statesman's pen can solve these Difficult
ties and further the hopes of civilization and
humanity. If you do not waken to it, the
difficulties will continue to gather around you
until the Spanish complications open the grave
of your reputation as public man and of the
hopes of the administration of which you are
part.
