CHINANEN are now coming with
great rapidity into the country, and il
is said there are now six great compa
mics with large capital actively en-.
gagged in bringing them in. These
companies not only make the original
contracts but see TO the details and tc
carrying them out in many cases. In
case of failure TO execute their con.
tracts, a very severe control is said 70
be exercised, not only in California.
but also throughout Oregon and Ne
vada. One case is mentioned Of an
arrest and Imprisonment by one Of the
companies. The San Francisco Times,
referring to that case, says:
There is no reason to doubt that
similar cases occur every day, and il is
impossible to conjecture the extent TO
which this secret system of trials and
punishments is carried. From the
mortal terror evinced by the impris-
oned man in this case, il is clear that
the powers Of the company are re-
garded with awe by the Chinese gen
orally, and though this man has been
temporarily rescued, il is likely
enough that he viii ultimately fall into
the hands Of his wOuld-be Judges. and
suffer for his termerity In seeking 10
escape the punishment Intended for
him. 1t is full time that the Chinese
who reside here should bemade TO m
.derstand that they must conform TO
cur laws and institutions, and that we
cannot suffer the erection OF secret and
despotic tribunals in our midst. The
heads Of these companies are men of
intelligence and culture, and cannot
pretend ~ignOrance of our laws. The
masses, however, areprobabiy kept in
ignorance, in order that they may be /

A PAMPHLET on the subject OF

Mr.. Carey regards the contraction

an endesvOr to force resumption upon
~the country at a time when the peo-i
pie were utterly unprepared to adopt |
it. Although, in pursuance Of the
dominant idea that the price Of gold
should be reduced, the Treasury bent

of that object, gold steadily went upi
from t8 to-l85; and at the present
day we are lArtler nom RESUMPTION

THE Union and american insists on
action by the Legislature on the sub
Jet Of a Convention at the earliest
moment practicable, and We think
this is the general sentiment. 1t sug-
gests that the number Of delegates
should bs not less than that Of the
Legislature. We shOulds say the num-
Der had better be fixed at twice as
many than less. But the number of
the present Legislature, or 1O9, will be
sufficient to give satisfaction, and less
expensive. We second the suggestion
Of the Union and American that the
XVIII Amendment question be dis
posed Of at once. We do not suppose
there are many for it. 1t may as wen
be settled now-as ever.
