QUICKLY CAsH.us OR WE SINK.

We Of the Sentinel are no beggars.
We do not want from any corporation,
company, firm or individual, a single
dollar which we have not honestly
earned and for which we have not rep
dered . qmid pro quo. We dislike,
moreover, to write a dunning editorial,
and nothing but the direst necessity
would prompt us to undertake the dis
tasteful task. But we need money;
need it badly, and we have upon our
hooks charges aggregating upwards of
two thousand dollars, due ms for SUBJ
scrirtions, advertising and job work,
a considerable portion of which is
against parties who are able to pay us
without distressing themselves, and
those are the chaps we are talking to.
1t may not be generally known to out
siders, but it is nevertheless a fact, that
it costs money to run a newspaper, and
probably the existing hard times have
affected us to q greater extent proper
tionally than any other business in the
town ; for while our receipts within
the last six weeks or two months have
diminished nearly one-half, our ex-
penses are as heavy as ever Nor can
we make any noticeable reduc-
ton in the latter, unless we dis
continue our Geographic reports or
abridge the amount of reading matter
in our columns; neither of which al
tentative do We desire to adopt, for in
all probability the present business
stagnation will not be of long dura-
ton, and we weuld rather sacrifice a
few hundred dollars during the next
month or two than deprive our read
ers of any Of the advantages which
they at present enjoy. If those of our
debtors who are able to pay us will
come forward and settle their bills, we
will be enabled to bridge over the
hard times without shortening sail or
involving ourselves in debt. We
have no disposition to parade our at

PACIFIC COAST DISPATCHES.
FROM CALIFORNIA.
IMMENSE ~ANTI-CHINESE MASS
MEETING IN SAN
FRANCISCO.
Speeches Of Gov. Irwin and Others.
ANTI . CHINESE RESOLUTIONS.
THE PEOPLE IN EARNEST.

SAN FRANCISCO, April g.
Union Hall was crowded last night
on the occasion of the grand Anti-C Chi
nese mass meeting. 1t is estimated
that in and about the hall over 10, 900
people were present. The meeting in
the hall was opened by Mayor Bryant,
who addressed the assembly, urging
a moderate, calm and dignified ex-
preston of public sentiment, and in
troduced Governor Irwin as presiding
officer. The Governor addressed the
meeting at some length. claiming that
Chinese immigration involved the sub
version of Anglo-Saxon civilization on
this coast, and ultimately in the Unit
ed States, and would result in forming
two classes III the community, viz:
capitalists and coolies; also, that in an
economy conflict of the two races, the
whites must go to the wall; that If the
object was To arrive at the greatest pro-
duction NJ tive least expense, coolie la
Dor would fulfill the conditions; but
that a higher object was to develop bet
ter specimens OF the human race; that
whoever would degrade white labor
was an enemy TO the human race; that
the evil must be stopped by working
on public sentiment on the opposite
side Of the continent and secure a mod.
ification of the existing Burlingame
treaty.
AT the close of the Governors
speech a list of vice presidents was
elected. Mark Mcdonald, President
Of the Citizens Committee, after a
brief address, introduced Frank Pix
ley, who read q resolution prepared by
the committee, which, after a preamble

MORE CORRUPrION IN HIGH
PLACES.

We fancy there is no person, how
ever bitterly partisan. if at all we'll in
formed concerning the individual char
acters of the prominent men of the ma.
ton, but must have felt a sense of sad
ness, q blush of shame, in reading in
yesterdays dispatches to the SENTINEL
that Boutwell,, the late Secretary of the
Treasury had added another distin-
xuished, and heretofore honored. name
to the fearfully frightening list of cor
ruptionists. Mr.. Boutwell, has, through
thirty years of public life, borne a char
acter, for public ability Of the highest
order, and for private honor, without
stain; and yet the dispatch expresses
not ever a doubt as to the facts; and
these, II true, stamp him guilty Of a
crime not less heinous, and far more
dangerous, to the public welfare than
that of Belknap; more dangerous in
the same sense and in the same degree
that the bribe-giver of position or
wealth is more dangerous than the
poor wretch whom he purchases; in
the same sense and in the same degree
that the Borgias of medieval Italy,
were greater enemies of the public
peace than the bravoes whose daggers
were al any mans hire for u few
crowns.
1t appears that while at the head of
the Treasury. Boutwell, paid Ben. But

the Government-ostensibly as a re-
tanning fee in a matter connected with
revenue reform, but in reality that
Buffers influence, always considerable
among acertain class in Massachusetts,,
should be exerted in favorof Boutwell,
for the succession to Henry Wilson's
seat in the Senate. Buffers guilt need
astonish no one. In fact, we presume
he is perfectly Indifferent in the prem
ises, and if examined thereon. will
probably reply with Falstaff Of old:
"'Tis my vocation, Hal. IT'S no harm
for a man to take purses in the way OF
his vocation" But to Boutwell, w had
always looked for better things, and
we cannot but feel his dishonor as a
national disgrace.

O weary davs and nights, so STILL so still
The useless sails hang tapping stiff and slow,
We pine and chafe, and set our helpless will
In vain revolt at what to change, to know

And fret as in the east, the west, we see
Great ships and small go sliding fast and free

The swift waves mock and leap on every side;
No rudder steers: no mast nor spar can hold,

We think God would not miss us ii we died.
We feel forgotten, helpless, cast away:
We shut our eyes and do not even pray.

Cannot be uttered! O green shores of life

Our anchorings and our driftings planned?

The Departed Year.

A year hath passed-e'en as the dial's shade,
That moves so swiftly. silently away.
What fearful changes hath its passage made!
How much Of sorrow saw each fiecting day!
How oft has disapl continent barred the way
To hopes most eager fOotsteps-turning back
The weary heart-to 90 again astray
OH man, thou wanderest on Il cheerless track
Compelled at bitter streams thy burning thirst to
slake
Within thy narrow scope departed year,
How oft hath opened the remorseless grave!
While death sat smiling at the sable bier,
In silent mockery of the pangs he gave.
How hath the monster on the ocean wave
Flapped his dark wings amid the awful storm;
Whore strove in vain the hardy and the brave.
In joys bright halls how many beauteous form
Hath the stern spectre pierced to feed the grovel
ling worm
These tell thy history-but tell not all
fairer page thy brighter hours may claim;
Thou hadst thy scenes the heart would fan recall,
Sweet joyous moments, worthy of the name.
Ger which, with saddning spell no sorrow came.
When from his deep debasement rose again,
The husband and the father, won from shame,
Resolved no more the madd ming cup to drain.
How great. how sweet the joy, though bought
with years of pain
And such are thine old year--nor these alone,
Each month, each changing season gave its store
Of rich and varied blessings, freely strewn,
To teach mans thankless spirit to adore.
The early spring the buds of promise bore
Advancing summer her kind influence she'd
And her fair gifts did bounteous autumn pour
In needy winters lap. But thou art lied
For aye, to thy dark home with the returnless
dead.

OLD HoCToR STRONG. of Garfield, was
not often outwitted 10y his people. On
one occasion he had invited "a young
minister to preach for him, who WAS
rather a dull speaker. and whose SER
mon proved unusually long. The peo-
pie became wearicd. and, rs Doctor
Strong lived near the bridge. about the
time for the commencement of the after
noon service he saw his people fiocking
in great numbers across the river to the
other church. He readily understood
that they feared they should hear the
same young man in the afternoon. Col
Letting his wits, he said to the young
minister:
my brother across the river is very
feeble. and | know he will take it kindly
to have you preach to his people. If
you will do so, | will give you note to
him, and be as much obliged to you as
| would to have You preach for me, and
l want You to preach the same sermon
you preached to my people this morn
ing"
The young minister, supposlng this
to be IL commentator of his sermon,
started off III good spirits, delivered his
note. and was invited to preach most
cordially. He saw before him one-hali
of Doctor s'trong's people, and they had
to listen for one hour and half to the
same dull, humdrum sermon they had
heard i'll the morning. They under
stood the Joke, however, and said they
would never undertake to run away
from Doctor Strong again.

Horrible Steamboat Disaster.

New ORLEANS, Oct. IL,
Many lives were lost by the burning of
the steamboat South Belle. Among those
known to be lost are VIM. Vonphul, Mr..
Draz, Miss Fannie O'Connor and another
lady, all of Baton Rouge Mr.. Franfs of
Port Hudson, Mr.. Lurgan, also Frank an
employe and the steward and his crew. 1t
is supposed that nearly all of those who
were sleeping in the after part of the boat
were burned to death, as after the fire had
once got fairly under way it was almost
impossible to get at the bow of the boat the
only way of escape to shore. The cargo
consisted of five to eight thousand bales of
cotton. The boat was new, valued at
S45, 900, insured for 100000 in New Or
leans company, w. e. Herbert, the pilot,
held the bow of the boat against the bank
until all who could had escaped. He then
lesped from the pilot house to the lower
deck and was seriously injured.
