WHAT is the reason that Booth
does not pour out some of his clo-
Gaence on the Chinese question! He
has left the silver business to Jones,
the Chinese business TO Sargent and

looking on. We rather sormise tina,

The Secretary Of State tells tho
frends Of anti Chinese Legislation
that there b d god deal ae outside
inAucncs beoughs to bear to save
hsrmlcss the present treaty with
China because it favors tho scheme
of the Christians for evangelSsing
the heather. The leading religious
paper of this coast, The Pacific, is
opposed to unlimited Chinese immi-
grafton. The religious people and
press of the East who are now trying
70 influepce Secretary Fish and the
President against the unanimous
wish If the xsele COAST do 60 be-
cause they arc unscquaintcd With the
subject which they would claim the
privilege Of speaking upon. In their
enieavor to serve God and save the
souls Of Cmna,men they de their
country a harm. Goyefnment and
its functions, The highest Of which r
its power to make treaties, are con-
struc,ed without regard to the adj
vaucement of any religion or any re-
liyious sect. When Christians there
fore attcmp, to influence legislation
in behalf of their religion, they do
that which they ought not to do.
They ought not to petition the Sem
ate to refrain from giving the msn-
agement of the Indians to the sol
dicrs because IT would injure their
missionary work. What would pre-
vent the advancement OF one religion
might promote another; aad what
would iniure one sect of the same
religion might help on another sect.
Government. therefore, in justice to
all. should take no notice of any in
performing its duty. If it adopts
a plan OF dealing with the lndians
favorable to the MethodistS, the Cath
olics might find cause for complaint.
They also have n right to the
souls Of Indians AMI Cinnamon.
And, by the way, who ever heard OF
the Catholic Chutch asking the Gov
eminent II facilitate its work of
making conversions to the faith.
Catholics have inst ms much right to
assistance Of this Kind as any other
denomination Of woTshiRers, since
the Government does net recognize
one above another. The tact is, as
said before. Christians should
WORK Independently of government
tai CO operation, and should not ask
for laws To be shaped to suit them,
The Christians of the East who are
now bringing such al outside pres
sure to bear against the contemplated
anti Chinese legislation, and who
Know Just nothing at all of the evils
i, is calculated to correct, are doing
the people of this coast an Injury
that is 10y no means compensated by
NIL the good they can hope to do the
Cinnamon. If Congress and the
tresty-making power 10 not relieve
US this year or the next or the next,
who c.n say what the consequences
will BET Who can say but that the
Pacific States may find cause in this
neglect of the parent government to
warrant a little independent republic
by the Western scar The germ for
eventual desperation Is planted here,
and. unless the Government Puts its
heel down upon it, will grow and ma
ture and we will h.re its fruits, The
religious people of the East had
better let the wise men of the Senate
attend to this matter now, without Of
fering any of their seatimen.ality.

Mead. Statue OF Ethan Allen.

At the evening session of the House of
Representatives on the 10Th ult., Hon. Geo.
w. Hendee of The Third Vermont district
offered a concurrent resolution for the ac-
ceptance of Mead's statue of Ethan Allen
from the State of Vermont, and directed
that the same be placed in the national
statuary hall in the capitol. He then made
a speech of an hours length, recitIng the
history of the scheme for the national hail
of statuary, and the action of Vermont in
procuring the statues of her two foremost
mil itary and civic men of the past, Ethan
Allen and Jacob Collamer, TO he modelled
by her two leading sculptors, Powers and
Mead, as contribution 10 the collection.
Next he sketched the situation of the set
tiers of the New Hampshire Grants previ-
Gus TO the advent of Allen among them, in
1863, and then reviewed the career Of that
bold leader, his military and political strug-
giles, his capture of Ticonderoga, his attack
upon Montreal and consequent capture
and long imprisonment, the successive at
tempts of the British TO ruin his health,
crush his spirit and win his allegiance and
services by brides OF money, lands and OIL
fees, and his final exchange. his greeting
by Washington at Valley Forge, his enthu-
siastic welcome home by the people of
Bennington, the recognition of his services
by Congress, and finally his removal 10
Burlington, where he died aud was buried,
and the inspiration Of liberty and noble
daring which The descendants of The early
Green Mountain Boys take from his very
name to-day. Mr.. Hendee was followed
by Col. Joyce of the First District, who de-
livered vigorous and patriotic address, at
the close of which the resolution was unan
imously adopted.
The statue is of heroic size, eight feet
high, and represents the bravo Vermonter
just as he has raped on the door of Ticon-
deroga, aud stands awaiting the response
The expression is of forceful dotermina-
ton, and the statue is said to dwarf It's
neighbors considerably. We notice, with
pleasure, that Mr.. Mead has received q
handsome compliment in the special atten'
ton which Dom Pedro paid 10 this statue
in his visit 10 the capitol. The Brazilian
emperor has made art a study and his gen
erai culture is of the broadest and most ell
evating character, so that his criticism and
favorable opinion is of real value.

FRIDAYS EXECUTIoNs.-Two murderers
were hung in Massachusetts on Friday OF
last week. AT Worcester, Samuel J. Frost
meet his doom FOR horribly killing his
brother-in-law, Frank p. Towne, at Peters
ham, last Fourth of July. The execution,
which was witnessed by about 200 people,
was siekening, terrible sight, the head
being almost severed at the throat when
the body dropped, and the blood squirting
on all sides, seven or eight feet from the
swinging trunk. Frost weighed but 100
pounds, and the "drop" was u feet.
The other execution was that of Thomas
w. Piper of Boston for the murder of Ma
bel Young in tho belfry Of the Warren Av-
enue Baptist church. lie seemed to die in
stantly as he brought the rope taut, after n
fall of eight feet, and the neck was found TO
be broken. A big crowd gathered about
the Jail, but they could neither see nor hear
anything of what was going on. Among the
witnesses of the execution was Lieut.. Gov.
Knight The body was given to Piper's
friends, and was privately buried by them
the same night. Piper made final state
ment before his death, showing conclusive
ly that his confession of the murder of Ma
bel Young, and the domestic Bridget Land
regan and the assault on Mary Tyner was
altogether true. lie also confessed that his
brutal lust was the motive for the murders,
