people are not engaged in Hong Kong,
nor in any other place under the Govern
ment Of a European nation, but from the
provinces of the Chinese Empire, where,
it seems, a man may mortgage not
only the bones of his ancestors, but those
of himself and relatives for the sacred
fulfllment of his obligations. When
Chlnaman is asked why men employed by
Chinese merchants or emigrant agents,
perform faithfully their agreements, the
reply is, that it is a "Chinese custom"
When we consider the sacred reverence
in which the bones of the ancestors of the
disciples of Confucius are he'd by them,
and their ambition to have their own rest
beside those of their ancestors and re-
ceive the homage of their descendants,
coupled with the fact that these mortgages
are enforcible in China, and that in case
of non-fulfllment of one of them, the
mortgage is relentlessly foreclosed, we
can well imagine why but little difficulty
is experienced by those who employ la
borers who have been engaged under such
circumstances. And we unhesitatingly
say. that. in our mind, taking all things
into consideration, it is the most diabolical
means of procuring labor that can be con
ceived, notwithstanding some look upon
those who are engaged under such con-
tracts as free immigrants"
Mr. Wilder visited Macao, for the pur-
pose of investigating the modes of pro
curing men there. He states that so far
as be has been able to learn, no person is
shipped from there except in the most
open and honorable manner; that every
man is regularly engaged, and has the OPP
portunity, while being questioned at no
less than five different offices, to either
make known that he has been kidnapped
or deceived, or to refuse to accept the
contract under which he is proposed to be
engaged And, that he was acquainted
with the circumstances under which the
men were placed on board the two coolle
ships which recently touched here, and
believes from his personal observation,
that not a man in either was deceived at
the time of his embarkation.

OK Saturday evening last, S. G. Wilder,
Esq, whose recent mission to China for
laborers is well known, made an interest
ing verbal report to the Planters and
Others interested in the procurement of
labor here, at the Court House. Mr. Wild
er's address was a very interesting one,
and occupied about two hours in its de-
livery We win, therefore, be unable to
give his remarks in full, but must content
ourselves with merely presenting our
readers with the main points, as presented
by Mr. Wilder, as briefly as possible.
The first and most important point
touched upon in the report was the fact
that fewer laborers were procured than
were anticipated at the Inauguration of
the expedition, and the cause of such
failure The speaker disposed of this
subject in few explanations which must
have been very satisfactory to his hearers
As has been well known here, the order
from the British Government instructing
the officials at Hong Kong not to permit
any Chinese to leave that port under con-
tract, except to British Colonies, and the
general Discrimination of the Chinese to
leave their country without a specific
contract, were the reasons why he was
not able to secure all the men he required
There were plenty of men who wished to
engage, many of whom went ON board
the Solo, but the uncertainty of the
service, owing to the want of written
contracts, induced large proportion to
refuse, eventually, to proceed on the
voyage. This is sufficient and satisfac-
tory explanation of the failure of Mr..
Wilder to procure all the men he required
at Hong Kong: it was simply because,
under the circumstances, it was impossible
to do so from that port-he could not
make contracts with them, and they
would not come without contracts.
During his stay in China he studied,
particularly, the modes by which the peo-
pie were induced to emigrate in such
large numbers to California; large ma
jority having their passages paid for them,
as is the case when they come here 1t
is generally understood that all these
people are under obligation to the Chi
nese merchants who secure and pay their
passages, to labor for them or for those to
whom they are assigned, until the adj
vances paid them are returned. These
