THE San Francisco press is discuss
ing the labor question with respect to
the introduction of the Chinese. The
Examiner d~eprecates the abuse of Chi
namen, but thinks their ill-treatment
has been exaggerated. 1t refers to
Nh. KooPMANSCHAAP as a "promi-
nent merchant" of that city, long en-
gagged in the Chinese passenger trade,
and on the basis of whose operations
it calculates that labor can be had
there at nine or ten dollars per month,
gold. 1t anticipates strong effect
from competition with white labor in
the cities. The Bulletin says:
The Blaletin is in favor of forcing
Cinnamon into California by hundreds of
thousands to depress white labor. Nei-
ther do we wish Cinnamon TO become nat
uralized citizens. We wonld treat prop
erly and kindly every person coming to
the country, no matter of what nativity.
But to favor the forced introduction of
Chinese labor-making contracts orthem
70 come in vast numbers-would be sim
ply to invite the overthrow of cur own
population. There is no question but the
Chinese, by a forcing process, would
drive half our white population out of
employment; for, as koopmanschaap
stated at Memphis, "undera five years
contract (made in China) they could be
had for SO or sI2 per month";" We are
within thirty days of China, and there is
no limit to the number which can be hired
at very low wages.

an absolute necessity to the dignity OF
both, and for which already 1921 %
has been paid. Surely, among a de-
nomination p~roverbially wealthy and
liberal, there must be a few men who
can assume this $4,000 and wait a
year or two upon the church, which
in the meantime may make such ex-
ertiOns as will insure its payment with
interest. Indeed we have q notion
that if the proper man would take
hold of it, a subscription might be
raised, even in these dull days, ade-
quate to the liquidation of this in
debtedness and the release of the prop
erty from tn. jeopardy with which it
is now hedged in. Wehope that some
thing will be done in that direction.
The members of the Episcopal Church
of Memphis owe it to themselves to
move promptly in this matter. All
the parishes should unite to save the
Bishops residence. 1t will be a dis
grace to the church to permit this
property to be sacrificed.

A Duel at Acquia Creek, Va.

One night last week, says the New
York Sun of Saturday, party of genial
gentlemen were taking supper in one of
DelmoDico's gi ded siioons. Two of the
number, no other than the well known
politician Colonel Mcnamara aud Mr.
Varuum, broker, eng aged in an angry
and exciting discussion concerning a
lady. Dur NJ the melee, Mr. Varnum,
exasperated beyond bounds of patient
endurance, emptied the contents of his
wine glass in the face of Colonel McNa-
mara. The latter, smarting under this
insult, sprapg to bis feet, made rush
for Mr.. Varnum, upsatting q table in bis
efforts to strike him, and was only Pre-
vented from accomplishing bis object by
the tine y interference of mutual friends
present.
But the son of Mars was not 20 be 50
easily baffied, He Immediately de-
plIt.d. Before doing so, however, he
Informed Varnum that he would shortly
hear from him, and he was as good as
bis word. The next day, Mr. Varnum
was the recipient of challenge to fight
IA duel, which he readily accepted. The
preliminaries were speedily arranged,
aud both parties, accompanied by their
seconds, took the Washington train last
night, en- route for the battle ground.
Aft,r spending few hours in the Ma.
tiOnal Capital, the party emb ,rked on
boat for Aqnia Creek. They reached
their destination about midnight. The
interval before day light was spent in
tavern. With TIE first dawn of day,
they started for The ground-a secluded
spot in the woods, on ILL in the ont
skirts OF the town, Overlo skiing the Po-
tomac. The morning was cool, windy
and cloudy. Reaching the ground, a
few minutes We're occupied by the sec
onds in consultation.
Everything was then speedily got
ready, and the principals took their
positions at twenty PAGES from each
other. The word "fre" was given. bo Ii
pistols were discharged at once, ard
Varuum fell wounded (and it is feared
mortality in the femoral artery. ColD-
mel Mcnamara escaped unhurt, the bal
only grazing his shoulder. The surgeon
in attendance examined Mr.. Varnum's
wound, and pronounced it mortal.
Colonel Mcnamara and his friends hur-
rlcd from the ground and drove back TO
Washington in private conveyance.
Mr.. Varnum's condition was such as to
preclude the possibility of his immedi-
ate departure. He was carried by his
friends to a neiShbering house in a
fainting condition. He remained there
a dag or two, aud has since, it is said,
been brought to this city. 1t is feared
that be will die.
The woman who is tie cause of this
trouble has not given herself the slight.
est concern about the fate of her two
lovers. When informed that they had
gone to fight duel, she reHarked to a
friend, with the characteristic indiffrr-
ence of her class, that "she did not care
if they shoot each other dead" The
whole affair has been kept a profound
secret, owing TO the possibility of Mr..
Varnum's death.

The Gearyin ELL.

The bill to promote reconstruction in
Georgia, as it passed the Senate on Sat
uyGay, provides in the first section for
the assembling of the old Legislature,
negyoos and all The second section
provides that the members shall swear
that they are not disqualified by the
Fourteenth Amendment or that they
have been relieved by Congress. The
third section provides for the punish
mgut Of perjury committed in falsely
taking either Of these Oaths, and gives
the United States Circuit Court for
Georgia jurisdiction over such offenses.
The fourth section provides for the
organization of the Legislature. The
fifth section provides for punishing by
imryisonment for not less than two nor
more than ten years any one who
shall hinder any Of the members from
taking thc catbs in question. The other
sections read rs follows:
SEC. 6. dnd he il further enacted, That
ii is hereby declared that tic exclusion
of any person or persons elected a.,
aforesaid and beirg otherwise qualified
from participation N the procetd d ngs of
said Senate or House OF representatives.
upon tho ground Of race, color or pre-.
vious condition Of Servitude, would be
Illegal and revolutionary, and ie hereby
prohibited.
SEC. Ind be ii further enacted, That
upon the application OF the Governor OF
Georgia, the President of the United
States shall employ such military or
naval forces of the United States as
may be necessary to enforce and exc.
cute the provisions of this act.
SEC. :. Ind be it further enacted, That
the Legislature shall ratify the Fif.
teenth Amendment proposed to the Con-
stitution of the United States before
Senators and Representative from
Georgia are admitted to seats in Con-
gress.
This bill carries its sting in its tail.
When Georgia shall have complied with
all these additional and iniQuitous con-
ditions, she has no guarantee of admis.
sien. Congress carefully refrains from
all pledges upon the subject. The peo.
pie of Georgia may as well understand
that the only way to get in is to agree
to vote. the Radical ticket straight
along, seniing to Congress such men as
the authorities at Washington may die
tate. In that way they can receive ad .
mission thi, Winter. Ii they are not
disposed to do this, let them wait until
after the elections next Fall. There
will be less trouble then. The people
are heartily disgusted with this recon.
struction farce, and will then take the
opportunity to say so.

It is understood the House COMMITTEES
on Contested Elections will report in
favor of compelling the unsuccessful

caStom has heretofore been to allow

Radical paper, says this ''has had an
alsrmingly depressing influence upon
