consider natural right they might place
the ballot in tho hands of the negroes. -
The Fifteenth Amendment adopted, they
will claim for the Chinamen equal political
rights with any other class of men.
The Alta is right when it declares that
an emigration from China greater than
THAT which has taken place from Europe
lis abont to set in. The whole country
from Maine to California, and from the
Lakes to the Gulf, is to be flooded with
these people. Preparations are being
made for their introduction by the thou
sands. in the States East of the Rocky
Mountains. There is demand for them
in New England, the Northwest and the
South. In Now England they want them
for operatives in their factories, and i'll the
West and South they are sought for as
laborers in every department of industry.
Emancipation has ruined the negroes. -
They will not work steadily, and hence
there is great desire to introduce diff
ferent clement. 1t is stated that q firm in
Chicago has entered into contract with
the Pacific Railroad Companies to trans
port 80, 900 Chinese to Illinois, to be en-
ployed in manufactures of various des-
criptions of goods, and agents are at work
in the South getting orders for their in
PRODUCTION 10 those States In less than
ten years the immigration from Asia will
exceed anything experienced in modern
times. The influx from the British Isles
and Germany for fifty years has only been a
little more than 5000, ,000, and yet it is
considered as enormous. 1t was q heavy
draught upon population of fifty
million, but it is nothing compared to
what will flow in from China with its great
hive of four hundred and fifty million of
people. They will overrun us as the
Northern barbarians did Southern Eu-
rope. They will pour in through the Gold
Ell Gate in monthly instalments of multi
piled thousands and outnumber us III O
very short time. What delightful place
California will be as place of residence
for white men when these people shall out
number them as ten to one, and shall rule
the State through the ballot box We are
not ovordrawing the picture. Let the
Fifteenth amendment be adopted and Con-
gress amend the Naturalization Laws so as
| to admit the Chinese to citizenship, as it
assnredly will, and it will take very few
years to turn the scale against the whites.
The radicals pretend that they don't intend
to give the ballot to the Chinese, but they
know they lie when they so declare. Peo-
pie Of California, will you, with these facts
before you and in view of your RESPONSE
bility to your families, your fellow-men,
your God and your country, permit the
vote of California to be cast for the
Fifteenth Amendment and Chinese suf-

Meeting of the TOpsaii Agricultural
Association.

Pursuant to adjournment. this body met
at the residence of A. L. Nixon, ESQ, on
the 3D. of July. The Vice President called
the meeting to order, and after the usual
preliminaries, the subject previously Sc
lected for consideration, viz 1.-THE best
investment of agricultural gains, with re-
ference to safety, profit and exemption
from care was taken up and Mr.. r. X.
Bryan opeLed the discussion. Mr.. B., af-
ter some apologies for the desultory nature
of the remarks he was about to submit.
went on to give his views on the subject
So far as safety was concerned, all expert
ence, and especially our own experience
during the last few years went to show that
investments in lands, and in judicious per-
manent improvements to landed property
were preferable to any others. The profit
ableness of such investments, with refer
ence to quick returns, was another ques-
ton depending for it's solution on good
management. A great deal of land through
out the South was now thrown upon the
market at low figures. He did not doubt
that the purchase of such lands, judicious-
ly made, would be found good invest
ment of surplus capital. But under the
altered circumstances by which We find
ourselves surrounded, with small gains and
deficient labor, he could not recommend
the policy of expansion. He thought it
better to cultivate small area thor
oughly, and leave all lands not ac-
tually needed for immediate cultivation
open to the industrious immigrant from
the North or Europe. He believed that q
given quantity of soil would, if well ma
nured and cultivated to the depth of one
foot. produce as much as it would if spread
out SO as to cover double the proposed
area, and cultivated to the depth of only
six inches. If this was so, farmers wonld
find in this fact an unansWerable argument

agricultural readers we extract the subjoin-
ed from the statement before us
The mari bed at Farmingdale is found about
twenty feet under the surface of the ground, ly-
ing in distinct strata from twelve to twenty
feet in thickness. It is of dark green color,
cuts easily with the spade. and is about the con-
sistency of wet sand. 1t has the appearance OF
being, what geologists have decided it to be, the
fossilized remains of myriads of marine animal
cuIH. Its value as fertilizer is derived from
the large quantity of phosphorous, potash and
lime which it contains, and which are said to be
more perfectly in it than in any other fertilizer
now in use.
A ton Of mari ia said to contain 20 pounds of
pnospnorlc acid, the most valuable Ingredient in
all 1ertlllzers. Peruvian guano contains 47O
ounds OF phosphates to the tom Msrl ia deliver

is claimed that in the single Ingredient Which
gives guano its value, mari even at S5 ner tonN

than guano But while the virtues of Ruano are
