subject Of running prOpellers between

POOL, Rio Ianerio, Texas and Mexican
posts, was pretty thoroughly dis
tgsSed. Capt Bishop, hate of Phila-

uf lighter draft Steamers, drawing
largely from his experience on hoard
of ocean steamers on the Mississippi
during the war. He showed that the
tendency is in favor Of light draft
vessels for ocean service, that they are
more seaworthy, weather storms bet
ter, and can be used with equal iacil-
ity on rivers. He instaneed the sac
cess which had attended the sending
of the Sound, and other light draft
steamers fruH4 SeW York to

ports. He WAS decidedly in favor
Of building a light draft prOpel

CHINESE IMMIGRANTS.
What Old gea Wade thinks about
them,

From letter to the Cincinnati
COmmercid} of Monday, we copy the
following opinions Of Hon. b. +.
Wade, in reference to Chinese immi-
grants and immigration:
"Mr. Wade, what were your inn
pressiOns regarding the Chineseen
:" l think the mGra We have of them
the better All accounts Of those who
have employed them concur in con-
3eding to them habits Of honesty, in
dqstry and temperance"
WWhy, then, do the laws of the
Pacific States discriminate against
themep
at is the old story of political
opposition, of precisely the same
character as that which on this side
has opposed the negro The DEM
ocratic politicians have passed laws
in California discriminating against
these people to please the Irish, who,
with other unskilfiIl laborers, fear the
competition of these Chinese"
You had an address presented you
on the subject by Chinese merchants,
l observed. What remedy is it posi-
BILE tor the General Government to
afford them? Isn't there a knOtty
question as to the manner in which
the National Government can fulfill
its treaty stipulations TO grant them
equal rights, when these rights are IN
vaded by the State legislati0nW
1--WE could only tell them that
these wrongs, like Others growing out
of the preiudices of men, would be
corrected with the advance of public
sentiment. There is no doubt that by
taking cases into the Federal Courts
they would have that iniquitOus legis-
latiOn set aside as unconstitutional.
Still their grievances would not al
WAYS be remedied even there, when
they must be passed upon by juries
composed of men subject to such pre-
judices. The committee who waited
on us made some interesting repre-
sentations, which did not appear in
the paper presented by them. They
asked greater security for life, and for
admission to testify in the courts; /;
! they assured US their countrymen at
home, possessed in some instances
of immense wealth, were disposed to
send their capital to America for ln-
vestment, but they were deferred
from doing this by feeling Of in
security created by the treatment
those who had emigrated here had
received"

tremely neat, performing their fire.
