are always preferable to disgustingly

are sorry the lottery Is drawn. They

The CHINESE QUESTION. IL
liams, of Oregon, has introduced bill
for the prevention of Coolie immigration
into the United States, with the design,
as he explained, not of checking volun-
tary Chinese immigration, but ofputtiDg
a stop to the importation of dissolute
women and of parties bound by onerous
contracts previous to their embarkation.
The Senator read some highly sensa-
tioual extracts from California papers
about the riotous scenes at the landing
IN San Francisco of cargoes of Chinese
women, and of their being sold in the
shnmbles 10 the highest bidder.
Other Senators from the Pacific coast
admitted the necessity of legislation for
the regulation of Chinese immi grafton,
but SEEMED to join issue with the Oregon
Senator as to The exaciness Of his infor
nation aoout Coolie slavery iuCalifornia;
protested against undue interference
with he liberty of the individual, and
bore testimony TO the good character
enterprise, and general usefulness Of
many nfthe Chinese settlers. 1t is mani
fest thar no measure for the radical sup
preston of Chinese immigration, or even
for imposing upon it amy unusual con-
di'ioas, can be passed without thorough
