ex-Secretary Borie and wife, Gen. W. s
Sherman and daughter, Gen. Phil. Sheri-
dan and lady, Generals Ingalls,, Reeves,

and are about to go there themselves.
They wish to induce Grant to caution

CHINESE IMMIGRATION TO THE
SOUTH.

Northern journals have Of a sudden
discovered mares nest in the efforts Of
the Southern people to import Chinese
laborers to this country. 1t is asserted
by these journals that the Southern
people are go welded to the institutions
of slavery that they would revive It by
the introduction Of coolies to the wasted
felds Of the South. The law passed
February 10, 1865, prohibiting the coolis
trade, is said to be in the face of our
efforts some time since in Memphis to
organize a system of Chinese immigra-
ton.
This act forbids any person to build,
equip, load or otherwise prepare any
ship or vessel, or any steamship or steam
vessel, registered, enrolled or licensed in
the United States, or any port within the
same, for the purpose Of procuring from
China, or from any port or place therein,
or from any other port or place, the in
habitants or subjects Of China, known as
coolies, to be transported to any foreign
country, port or place whatever, to be
disposed of, or sold, or transferred fol

Roopmansehaap, the Ccs,ie nroksr.

Hoopmankehaap, the Ccsife Broker
II has been stated that Cornelius Koop
manschaap, who is engaged in trans
porting coolies to this country, was il
New York on Tuesday, but started ia the
afternoon for San Francisco. He returnt
to the Atlantic seaboard next month to
make contracts for coolie labor, espe,
cially at the South, and in October starts
for China after a cargo Of Cinnamon.
The New York Times reporter, who in.
terviewed the great coolie broker, gives
the following sketch of him:
Cornelius Koopmanschaap was born
in Amsterdam, Holland. He came to
this country in 1851, landing at New
York and proceeding almost directly to
San Francisco, where just at that time
there were some excellent openings for
business men. He immediately estab-
lished the house Of Koopmanschaap &
Co., which was at fret engaged in i'm
porting -four and other provisions. In
| 1855 the firm went into the China BUSH
ness, establishing a line of clipper ships
aud carrying freight and passengers
between the two countries.
1t was in 1861 that the firm commenced
the business of bringing over coolie Ia
borers to San Francisco. Within the
eight years ensuing they have landed
over 10000 Chinese immigrants in San
Francisco. Most of these are still in this
country, though some have returned to
their native land. It is the importation
of these coolies in the past and the pro-
posed transportation Immediately of hun
dreds of thousands more to our shores
to supply the demand for labor every
where, and in every industrial depart
ment, and especially to cultivate the neg
lected plantations nj the South, that have
made the name of Koopmanschap famous
in the land.
Mr. Koopmanschaap says that he does
not bring over Chinese women. They
are sure to follow wherever the men 90.
The Cinnamon will import them for
themselves. The women in China are
not generally taught to labor. They will
not become good domestics. Almost the
only employment in which they engage
at home is that of chiidren's nurse. There
are 5000 China women in California now,
and more coming. He states that he
brought from China to California last
year 10000 male coolies. He talks of
importing 100000 of these men during
the coming year. whom he will hire out
at from So to $l2 per month and their
keep. Many OF these imported by him |
are employed in manufacturing estab-
adjustments in California at 81 per
day.
