The snnthern Pncinc.

From the Los Angeles Star, February 7th.l
Superintendent Hewitt furnishes us
with the following important and inter
esting intelligence from the Headquar
tiers of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company. The facts stated may be
relied upon as being strictly true, and
are published by authority.
In the first place, the Company has
ordered, by telegraph, wire to extend
the telegraph system Of the Company to
Los Angeles, and has giving orders to
have it built as soon as possible. This
will give us the benefits of an opposition
telegraph.
Second, the engineers are now en-
route TO San Fernando to make the final
location OF the tunnel, and Mr.. Harris
will follow in a few days to locate the
shafts and ascertain what machinery and
material will be necessary to complete
it within eighteen months, by which time
the Company hope to have the track
laid up to both ends Of the tunnel, so
that when 1t ia completed Los Angeles
will be connected with San Francisco by
rail, and the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company will have completed its CON
tract with Los Angeles in letter and in
spirit.

Many Of our readers will remember the
burly Hollander who several years ago
visited this city and made a speech upon
the subject Of Chinese immigration.
"Koop" was then The head Of a San
Francisco House and an importer Of
Heather Chinese. Soon after he left
Memphis his San Francisco establish
ment bursted, and Koop" disappeared
from public view, only, however, to ap-
pear again, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing found in a St. Louis journal of
late date:
K~oopmanschap has come to the front
again, after a rather long obscurity
among the swarming millions of China.
He lately arrived in San Francisco di
rect from China, after an absence Of over
six months. His last voyage TO China
was made IN the interests OF a Rio Janeiro
company which desires to import Chi
nese laborers into Brazil. His object
was illustrated by an unexpected event

getting all the coolies he wanted from that

rived inCanton the yiceroywas dead and a
temporary ruler was in his place. The
acting viceroy was not willing to aid in
running Chinese out Of the country until
there wa a treaty with the government
Of Brazil. So Koopmanschap returned
and is on his way TO Brazil to effect a
treaty. When this formal alliance il
concluded be will return to China tc

ONE OF THE DANCERS OF REFORM.'

ONE OF THE DANGERS OF REFORM"
The duty Of public servants toward
their constituents, in all matters of legis.
lation is, unquestionably, to make wise
laws looking to an economical carrying
on Of the machinery of government; to
bring about as complete a system OF re.
forms in existing abuses and in curtail-
ing the unnecessary expenditure OF
money as it is possible to do without
detriment to the general welfare. But
very often serious mistakes are com
mitted by the people representatives in
these matters by a not over clear idea as
to what reforms are necessary to accom-
plish such a purpose. The Bible tells
us that it is not every n who says
Lord, Lord" shall enter into the king
dom Of Heaven, and it is equally true
that not every legislative representative
who is eternally crying reform, re-
FORM" knows exactly how to go about it
in the safest and most unobjectionable
way. The present General Assembly of
Tennessee is grinding out proofs Of this
proposition almost daily. The latest
evidence given is the passage of q bill
in the House abolishing the conventional
interest law, and if the news from the
capital is to be relied on it is almost
certain to pass the Senate. The effect
of this piece Of legislation win be to fix
the rate Of interest on borrowed money
at six per cent. per annum, which comes
about as near cutting the commercial
throat Of Memphis as it is possible.
Money is simply commodity, like bacon
and -four aud cotton, and its value
like that of the products mentioned is
always determined by the supply and
demand; if money is plenty then the
rate will be low; if scarce, the rate will
NECESSARILY be high, just as when the
supply Of pork is small the price goes
up. The illustration is q true one, and
has been used thousands Of times in
discussing this same question, but evil
IDENTIFY has never reached the eyes or
understanding Of a majority Of the
Solons now in the State capital, because
they have legislated on the subject as
though the converse Of the propo-
sition was the true one. The
commercial interests Of Memphis, Nash
vile aud every other manufacturing and
trading point in the commonwealth, de-
mand the presence of large sums Of
money, and large sums Of money can
only be brought to them when a fair
price is paid for its use, and six per cent.
will never be considered a fair price for
II when other places pay ten and twelve
under the sanction OF law. HE who

before was oRly one is said to be a

tire that 90 ensets its laws as to give

to fence with the negro midshipman,
which he refused to do. He was then
told to resign; he would not do that,
though be disliked to disobey orders. He
was then informed he should consult
with his parents. This he did, when his
father, DR.. Abram Claude, said he would
not advise him, leaving it to the young
mans judgment. DR.. Claude, however,
went to the Superintendent and told him
his son was raised as a Southerner, and
not on social equality with negroes, and
he would not advise him to do what he
would not do himself. So Claude was
expelled Wednesday.
