Letter from Louisa County.
| Correspondence Of the Baltimore Sun.


LOUISA G. II Va, July 6 On the 4th
day Of July Short political speeches were made
to the Republicans of the county, in view OF
the Congressional election next fall The ne
groes are directly opposed to mixture OF the
school system, believing the two races TO be
like oil and water incapable from nature to be
mixed.
Our best informed farmers say that the wheat
crop is very poor and light, being considerably
injured by the rust and premature cure. 1t
will certainly result in very small average
crop. The oat crop is dried up. The corn is
twisted and scorched, and requires thorough
rain to be anything like a fair yield. Drought
prevails to an alarming extent through this
whole secton consequently the grass is rapidly
driving up, and few vegetables will be gathered
from our gardens.
The grangers are making active preparations
for the grand picnic in August, 10 take place in
Orange county, Va.
A small colony OF Northern men are anxious

lands, cheaper at present than ever again, now
lying idle, but capable of producing abuudanty

Industrious and thrifty European, not less than
the competent and energetic Northerners we
want here, and if they come with moderate skill

THE BRUSSELS CONFERENCE. The project
of an international convention, to be submitted
by Russia to the powers which will be repre-
sented at the Conference to be held at Brussels
next month, is based on the following general
principles:
/. An international war is state Of open
struggle betW cen two independent States $50
lated or acting with allies, and between their
armed and organized forces.
z The operations Of war must be directed ex.
clusively against the frees and the means OF
war of the hostile State, and not against its SUBJ
jects AS long MS these latter do not themselves
take an active part in the WAT.
g. To attain the object Of warfare all means
ard all measures conformable with the laws and
customs OF WAT and justified by the necessities
of war are permitted the laws and customs of
war forbid not only useless cruelty and bar
barous acts again.t the enemy they require
even on the part OF the competent authorities
the Immediate chastisement of those who have
rendered themselves guilty Of such acts when
they were not provoked by absolute necessity.
4. The necessities of war cannot justify trea-
son with respect to the enemy, the tact OF de-
clarng him outlawed and the authorization 10
employ against him violence aud cruelty:
s. When the enemy does not observe the laws
and customs of war such rs they are defined by
the convention, the opposite party may have re-
course TO reprsals, but only us al unavoidable
evil, and without ever losing sight OF the duties
of humanity.

THE STORM. We have additional partlcu
lars of the ravagcs of the great storm that
swept over the country on Saturday evening
Great damage was done to the crops 10 some
sections of Maryland, aud many barns and
sheds were blown down. la Montgomery coun-
ty the hurricane Of the earl y evening Was sup
pemented with hail storm at midnight, which
demolished windows, stripped the frul. trees
and beat down the growing corn. The shipping
on the Lower Potomac had rather rough
time of it, but as far as ascertalned no vessel
was lost The passengers on the excursion
steamers were terribly frightened, but happily
the boats weathered out the gale. AT Beltsvll!c,
on the Washington Branch Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, the Episcopal Church,
substantial brick structure, was blown down,
and several dwelling houses were unrooted.
There was hail storm in New jersey that im-
pcriled the lives Of those who were not under
shelter. The Philadelphia Telegraph says that
the hail stones ''were 90 an average as large
as turkey eggs" They came crashing through
slate roofs as if they had been cannon balls. A
Young lady had her arm trightfully lacerated
by the falling pellets of ice. On Sunday there
was cyclone at Savannah, Georgia, which did
some damage aud greatly terrified the people.

Burlingame Treaty be modified to one for
commercial purposes only. This resolution
should receive the hearty sanction of every
member of both Houses. We know every
Independent will indorse it with pleasure,
as a duty to their reform constituents. Ev-
Iery Democrat should or lose his right to the
party name; and Republicans can. find no
other excuse for refusing to do so than that
they are lost to all desire to legislate for the
people. Let it, or thes ameng in substance,

islature, that the government at Washing

gent, wealth producing population from Eu-

THE CHINESE PROBLEM.
subject

The great influx of Chinese into Califor-
MIA has prevented beyond all doubts the ar
rival of better element from Europe and
our older States. The immigrant seeks a
home for the benefit of his family, and one
consideration affecting his choice is what oc-
cupation can he find for bis children. All
light employment suitable for juvenile labor
ers, of either sex, is now monopolized by
Mongolians. The sewing machines, of
which thousands are operated in our cities,
are run by China boys to the exclusion Of
white girls; and American boys are forced
to idleness because in various occupations
suited to their strength the Chinese are pre-
ferred by American capitalists to youthful
workers Of their own race
During every session of our Legislature,
The Placer herald., 1874-01-17
THE COOLlE EVIL.

On this subject will be found an able cor.
respondence m this issue of the HERALD,
which we commend to the earnest consi der
alton of our readers. The correspondent
takes the right view of the subject, when
he declares that the treaty-making power is
the one which must be induced 10 move in
the matter, and the right way to secure its
action, and that promptly, is for California
the State afflicted more than all others
with this evil-to send from her Legislature
a joint resolution, unanimously endorsed
declaring the President should at once take
steps to repeal or modify the treaty with
China to one for commercial purposes only.
We have noticed with pleasure the action
of Senator Roach, from San Francisco, dur
ing the present session of the Legislature.
The expressions Of aggregated capital, polt-
car corruption and the Coolie curse are the
three prime evils Of which the people Of
California have complained, and we ask,
where is the platform, local or State, fol
years that has not embodied within it a
plank declaring or demanding reform on
each Of these three subjects !? Such planks
were necessary in order to catch votes, a
fact which proves conclusively that the peo-
pie are IN earnest in their demands for legis-
lation relieving them from the presence Of
these evils. How much has been done we
need not say, as the people appreciate to
keenly the fact. Senator Roach has shown
that he meant what he promised on these
and kindred subjects. He offered bill
and made bold fight for its passage, which,
should it become law, as it ought, would
put an efectual check on bribery and cor
ruption in official circles. And he now
comes forward with the very resolution that
is needed, requesting our Representatives in
Congress to demand Of that body that the
The Placer herald., 1874-01-17
efforts have been made to arrest the Chinese

efforts have been made to arrest the Chinese
influx to our State. No legislation we can
pass can be successful to accomplish the OBJ
ject. Congress itself is limited in its pow
ers by the solemn obligations Of treaty
made with the Chinese Empire. That can
be modified only by the treaty-making pow
ers Of the United States, the President and
the Senate. Therefore, whatever ac-
ton is to be taken on the premises,
must be based on the fact that the Presi-
dent must be asked to take the initiative in
the matter. Article 5 of the Treaty made
by Burlingame is an invitation on our part
to encourage the free immigration of the
Chinese. We know, however, that in the
true sense of that term there is no free i'm
migration of laboring Chinese to our shores.
They are brought here under contracts to
labor for their masters, for series of years.
in the United States, at starvation wages to
our people, and the ful6llment of their
contracts is enforced by the edicts Of secret
tribunals and the inAiction of cruel and ar
bitrary punishment.
The presence in our midst of race, near
ly all of whom are the thralls of their own
capitalists who promote the vicious instincts
of their bondsmen in order that they may
obtain their earnings, is detrimental to pub
lie morals, while their standard of living is
so low and their habits so filthy that the
communities in which large numbers of them
reside, are exposed to pestiferous diseases.
We want commerce with China, but need
not give her four hundred million of people
cordial invitation to emf CRATE to the
United States.
Senator Roach has introduced Concurrent
Resolution on the subject, asking that Arti-
Gle V. and VI. of the Burlingame Treaty be
abrogated. lie recites at length the evil
effect of those stipulations upon the welfare
of our people, and requests our Senators and
Representatives in Congress to use their in
Huence to discourage Chinese immigration
by obtaining appropriate action for the gen.
eral government His suggestion places
the matter in the proper light. 1t invites
the President by resolution of a sovereign
State to move in the matter. .|.
