The following paragraph appeared
In two of the daily journals Of the
National Capital friendly to the Adj
ministration, and is understood to
have been inspired at the Executive
Mansion:
"The Alabama case is now with
Great Britain. It's settlement is her
task, as she deliberately inflicted
injuries upon our commerce, and
deliberately prolonged the rebellion.
Satisfaction for these great wrongs
should as deliberately be made. The
United States makes no entangling
alliances with other powers. That
is her traditional policy; at once her
duty and her covenant; and that is
today the attitude of President Grant.
He does not propose to take advan-
tage of the difficulties Of friendly
nation. Unlike France, which in
terfered to establish a new empire on
our Southern frontier, and unlike
England, which exerted all the in
fluence of her aristocracy in favor OF
the rebellion at a moment when the
cause OF the Union was doubtful, the
President relies upon the sense OF
Justice Of the English Ministry and
the English masses, believing that
they will seize the first fitting occa-
sion to close up the only remaining
cause Of difference between people
speaking the same language, and
animated by the most fraternal feel
ing toward each other"
This will put an end, we may well
hope, to the reports that General
Buffers lunatic war-whoops were a
part of the programme in respect to
this important question. The last
annual message of President Grant,
as it touched this question, was con-
fessedly liberal, dignified, peaceful,
and statesmanlike. 1t need not be
doubted that what he shall say in
his forthcoming message, upon the
Alabama question, and our foreign
policy generally, will meet the
appreciation Of the intelligent public.
We shall have no Mysteries in the
conduct of our foreign affairs

Gen. EutIcr's statement.

Gen. EutIer's Statement.
Gen. Butler has written q letter
concerning the McGarrahan claim.
AS member Of the judiciary Com
mittee of the House, he gave the
matter long and patient investiga-
ton at the last session. In common
with a majority Of the Committee,
he came to the conclusion that Nc
Garrahan had no just claim to the
property in question. Gen. Butler
concludes his letter as follows:
When the Committee had agreed
upon report as to the rights Of Me-
Garrahan, not with unanimity,
however, one Of their number sug-
gested another consideration as
seeming to him worthy Of investiga-
ton, which was that while the
United States had spent somequarter
of "A million of dollars, more or less,
in defending this land from McGar-
rallan's claim, all that money seemed
to have been spent in the interest of
the New-Idria Mining Company,
and that member Of the Committee
desired to inquire by what title the
New-Idria Mining Company claimed
to hold the land, and was informed
it was only under the mining laws
Of California. lie then raised the
question in the Committee how 1t
was that four persons, who could
only hold, under the mining laws Of
California, as it was understood, one
thousand feet each of mining lands,
could claim many leagues of land
against the United States.
In the waning hours of the session,
just then closing, there was no time
to summon the New-Idria Mining
Company to make good their title or
further to investigate the same, and
it was suggested that the whole
matter lie over till thenext Congress,
and that in the meantime no patent
should be issued to anybody until
the rights of the United States could
be determined.
1t seems that during the vacation
the New-Idria Company pressed upon
Secretary Cox, and he was about, as
his letter shows, to issue patent to
them, which would have been good
as against the United States. The
President interfered to prevent it.
1t is generally understood that that
interference is in behalf of McGarra-
han. / do not believe that McGarrahan
has any interest in tho question
whatever, but that the people Of the
United States have eight millions OF
property in that claim, which an
earnest and careful investigation, in
which the Government should he
represented, will show to belong to
it. The President has only been
holding the title to the land in abey-
ance until the Committee Of the
House of Representatives gets
through with the investigation, and
determine what the rights Of the
United States are in the premises.
For this / think he ought to have
the thanks of all honest and judicious
men. / am yours very truly,
BENZ. I. Butler.

,
There Is an erroneous opinionquite
generally prevailing as to the nun.
Der Of Chinese in this country. We
have seen loose statements putting
the number at several hundred
thousands" whilst demagogues il
California, Nevada, and Massachus
etts, have eloquently warned the
public against the threatened invas-
ions of hordes Of "small-eyed bar
barians," who were already pouring
in on US in large numbers and would
0verwhelm us, like the Huns and
Franks overwhelmed Southern
Europe long ago.
1t would appear that the danger
from this source is greatly exagger-
ated, as well as the numbered Chinese
in the United States. The number
of arrivals of these people, as that of
other immigrants, is accurately
noted at the ports Of entry. Prof
Porter, of Yale College, has just
prepared an essay on the subject OF
Chinese immigration for the Bureau
of Education, in which he gives the
figures showing the number Of ar
rivals since 1920. Some of them
have not been before published. We
give the table entire:
1921 to 1880, ten years, 3
1881 to 1910, ten years, 3
1871 to 1850, ten years, % 30
1851 to 1860, ten years, 1887
1861 to 1868, eight years, 4l,2l4
1869, one year, lA9G2
1870 to June, six months 7,3l9
Total. n O4,9GS
Nearly all, it will be noted, have
come to this country since the adinis-
sion Of California as a State of the
Union. Deducting deaths and those
who have returned to China, it y,
estimated that the whole number
now in The United States is less than
sixty thousand.
1t is well known that it was the
great excitement, which penetrated
to all parts Of the world, consequent
upon the discovery Of gold in Cali
fornia, that brought about the first
immigration Of Chinese to this land.
A new cause of attraction was the
construction of the Pacific railway,
which gave employment to many
Chinese laborers, and drew to our
great city of the Pacific coast con-
siderable number Of Chinese mer-
chants; men of meansand intelligence
who at this time stand high I'm repu-
tation among the business men Of
San Francisco. 1t is true as a general
rule also, we believe, that the char
acter of Chinese immigrants during
the past few years is better than that
of those who first came over.
However this may be, it seems
certain that there is no immediate
dangerof our institutions being over
thrown by these semi-civilized
people, or Of our laboring men being
thrown out Of employment by the
low-priced labor of these Orientals.
1 If they were all colnnized at once. in
the cities of Chicago and st. Louis,
they could not supply the;sdemand
for labor in those two cities alone.
Meantime, their members 40 not
increase as rapidly as the dfVelop..'
ment and wealth of the county, ana
we may safely dismiss all fekrs that
we might have entertained inrespect
to any substantial, permanent injury
they might inhict upon our country
and our civilization. There are an
hundred chances Of our American
izing the Chinese to one IL their
lOricntali2ing America. Chic. Post.

Chinese Ea,igrR;ion--A New Decree.

The new decree by which the Chinese gov
ernment, through the Foreign Board az Pekin,
has limited The expectation of Chinese laborers
gives au entirely different phase to the subject
which has been deeply agtating public
opinion in the United States. This decree,
according to Information received at Washing
ton from General Legendre, Consul at Annoy,
provides that only treaty power merchants can
open emigration agencies, only treaty power
ships can carry emigrants, and il is only to
treaty power companies contract emigrants can
go. BY this order the convention Of 1866
rejected by bosa France and England on the
ground thai 1t amounted to prohibition Of the
coolie trade at the treaty ports-bscomes
law Of tho empire, binding upon the native
local authorities The Consul thinks that
under tho new rule The traffic must die off.
The expectation Of Chinese labor viii hence
forth be restricted to voluntary emigration.
Those laborers who come from China to
America viii now come spontane eously, Of their
own free will end motion, as the Irish, Ger
mans and English have come. Their coming
will thus be, 10 borrow Wendell Phillips
expression, "a welcome aud valuable addition
to the mosaic Of our nationality" Otherwise,
imported Ia overwhelming masses by the con-
certei action OF capital. the Chinese would
crush the labor of America down to a pauper
level for many years to come. But the new
decree OF the Chinese government viii avert
so dreadful an evil. There ia no longer any
danger that the capital of the country viii set
to work by system and wide cooperation to
import Chinese laborers in masses to ''dissorgo
them upon US with unnatural rapidity." In
that case, indeed, their coming would be "a
peril to our political system and disastrous

We see that the National Republican Com
up that very bad and disgraceful custom Of
taxing government employees on their salaries
for campaign purposes. This was always
shabby practice, and this Republican Committee
ought to be ashamed of Itself to renew it.
The present autocratic announcement, tina.
every clerk holding Office by The viii Of this
supreme council must pay one per cent on
bis income, has nearly created rebellion in
that class Of faithful servants within the party.
They protest against the tyranny. They think
that when Presidential election is on the
tapis it is time enough 10 exact o portion OF
their wages from them, but az no such event
is in the immediate future it is untimely, and
would seem 10 indicate weakness in the party
TO put on tie screws just now.
The whole system is wrong and always has
been. 1t demorslizcs the public official 10y de-
grading him into mere serf Of the party,
paying tribute for The right to live. We are
surprised TO find party Of so much intelli-
gence ard virtue as the National Republican
Committee represents lending itself to the
continuance Of this practice. To be sure, it
has drawn much of its life aud the sustenance
thereof from this source heretofore, but has
not the time come TO abandon it2 Are there
not pickings and perquisites enough in the
rious public Offices, the contracts aud the
wje margin for plunder which the immense
jnc ne of the government offers, without
nulcing tn, poor clerks? We repeat, 1t is q
chubby proceeding altogether.
