Two bills have been introduced in the Sen
ate, intended to put stop to the introduce
tiou of Chinese hborers One by Senator
Williams, Of Oregon, prohibits the imp1r-
tation Of laborers under the contract system,
and does away with the outrageous system
which throws SO many Chinese women upon
the shores Of the Pacific for the purposes of
prostitution. The other, offered BY Senator
Stewart Of California, as a substitute TO the
first, is general in its provisions, and in
cludes the importation under contract Of
aborers Of all nationalities, it being claimed
that Government has right TO regulate the
admission Of aliens, especially when the pay
ment Of their transportation forms part Of the
contract 1t is probable that the two bills
will be combined into one. the California
Senators insisting upon the clause relating q
Chinese women. The Pacific coast Repre-
sentatives and Senators feel very strongly
upon the question, and have the assistance of
Senator Wilson Of Massachusetts, some of
the friends of these measures assume the
ground that the Fifteenth Amendment does
not apply to the Cele-tial-. ami that we are
not obliged by its terms % grant them the
privileges Of citizenship; and a clause was.
it now appears, interpola5ed in the recent
treaty with China, that nothing in It's proyi-
sions should be held to confer naturalization
upon citizens Of the United States in China.
nor upon citizens of China in the United
States.
One thing would seem to be pretty clear
that Congress must make any law it passes
apply to immigrants from all foreign nations,
alike.
The danger, held up by Mr.. Wilson, Of a
tremendous importation Of &" the degraded .
portion Of mankind, to lower the price Of .
a5or and degrade the workingmen Of the
nited States, doe not seem to be very i'm
ninent, in view Of the fact, reported from
San Francisco. thai the heads Of the Chinese
9npanies in thar city have despatched a cir
ular to the Chinese seaport towns, recon-
lendins tina; emigration be Discontinued, in
smuch as large numbers of Cclestials on the
'acifc Coast are now out Of employment,
nd reduced almost to want.
On the whole it would seem to be well.
lnless Congressman fear the immediate full
ment Of the threat Of the New ork work
gmen's Union, that it Will remove the L.
government by force unless it keeps out
e Chinese, not to rush through a bill on
~ such important and little understood sub.

We have been interes ted in the rev.

We have been interes ted in the report Of
an interview with Mr. Jacob Bright, NJ. P.
(brother Of John Brish) who introduced the
woman suffrage bill in the British Parlia-
ment, given by correspondent of the New
York World. To remark Of the cores
pendent that the bill was, as he supposed.
an entering wedge and first step toward CIV
ing the suffrage to all women, Mr.. Bright
is reported as saying that it was no such
thing. 1t was, he said, the object Of his bill
to apply the principle Of the late Reform bill
to the spnsters and widows Of the kingdom
VIII are householders. That principle is that
there shall be one person IN every family who
shall have a voice in the legislation Of the
country. The married woman nav be con.
tent with being represented by her husband.
and the daughters at home may be satisfied
with the representation Of their father. If
they are not 81 weak women " they can in1u-
enee their representative to any desirable ex.
tent. But there are large class of women
100000 of them in the entire kingdom
who have no such representative. They are
householders and heads of families thew
own property, pay rates, and bear their
share of the burdens of the State 1t was these
women whom his bill proposed to enfran-
chise. He simply sought to extend to them
the application of the vital principle of house
hold suffrage. Had he succeeded he believed
it probable that, as the cry for manhood suf-
frage died away when household suffrage was
extended to men, the cry for universal /
womanhood suffrage would also have died /
away when household suffrage had been 4
given to women.
Mr.. Bright went on to say, as reported, !
how wide was the gulf which divided the
advocates of woman suffrage in the United /.

The discussion in the British House Of
Commons on Mr.. Forster's bill for compulsory
education, is continued with much persist
ency, and its passage in the form it was in
troduced to the House is very improbable.
The bill makes no attempt to inaugurate
system of common schools, unsectarian in
character, like our own; but provides for
the support of UNCONVENTIONAL schools at the
public cost, on the plan, probably, OF al
lowing so much per head for each scholar.
1t is on the sections making this provision
that the strongest opposition conc entrates
itself; and the prospect for their ultimate
excision or material modification seems i'm
minent. Tuesday night, Mr.. Horsman an
nounccd that should the amendment striking
out these provisions be carried, he would
urge that provision be made for the construc-
ton OF double school buildings, one part for
secular and the other for religious teaching.
There is small chance Of the adontion of 50
peculiar an idea, but it affords a fair ;ndica-
ton Of the lengths to which both nart;es
will go in advocating their special systems of
public education in England

States and England, and that he had no
sympathy whatever with the reformers Of
America, like TiltOn, Stanton and Anthony;
"who sought the suffrage for womenl in order
that with it they might oyerturn society and
bring about a reign of free-loye, free-diyorce,
and the abolition of the head-ship of man in
the family" Happily, in England, the
agitation in favor of woman suffrage had been
kept wholly free from such issues as these,
and the persons eagnged in it regarded the
doctrines preached on the rostrums of wo-
mans rights meetings in America with hor-
ror and disgust.

Requesting the President 10 cusl negotiations
for the admission Of the British PrOr.7ces q
North .fmericd. as States Of this Union.
Whereas the relative geographical position Of
the United States and the British Provinces in
America their intimate commercial and bust
ness relations with each other, the similarity Of
their laws and institutions then common orr
gin and language, all render it in Il highest de-
gree desirable for the prosperity, peace, and
safety Of both countries that they should be
united under a common government Therefore,
Res0lUei By the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatircs or the United states Of -imerlcI
in Congress assembled, That the Presi1en; Of
the United States, be requested To open negotla-
tons with the government Of Great Britain,
and with the local governments Of said provin
ces, with a view 10 the admission Of sad prov
inces into cur Union with such number Of States,
and unln such terms and conditions, As shall he
mutually satisfactory to all the said governments,
and the people thereof
If this action has been taken after con-
sultatl5n with and at the request Of Cana
dian statesmen, who represent a predomi-
nant sentiment among the Canadian people,
it Is we'll. If not we should fear that its
effect would be un.ayorablc, rather than 9TH
erwise, upon the result it contemplates.
When Canada is ready to reques, admission
to the Union, it seems 90 Us that il will be
time enough for the United States to open
negotiations on the subject. That a consii-
cradle portion of the Canadian people do
now greatly desire annexation, Is doubtless
true. That controlling portion is Of tLat
mind, is by no means clear. There Will be
no difficulty on the part of this country, at
any time, in the way of a union Of the two
countries. The question is as to the dispo-
sitiou of Canada in the matter. And Cana
dl therefore, As it seems to US, should take
the initiative step in the business.

The surveying party under Comman-
der Selfridge, which was despatched
to Panama to discover if possible a new
route for the Isthmus Of Darien canal, will
probably return at an early date. Nothing
of Importance has been accomplished, ac-
cording to latest advicos The weather has
been extremely unfavorable, and the men are
dsheartened. The conclusion 50 far arrived
at is that no practicable route for canal
exists. Meanwhile the Pacific railroad has
absorbed so much of the traffic which, until
its opening, passed over the Isthmus, that
several large steamers belonging to the Paci-
fc steamship company, retained at As
pinwan for trade on the Pacific coast,
have been transferred to the China trade.
