At Virginia City on the 23d. the com.
mittsss Of the Anti. Chinese Union have
been traversing the various wards Of the
city obtaining signatures to the m memorial
70 Congress asking for the abrogation of
the Bur'ingame treaty or such . modi.
ncation OF VI as will prevent the further
immigration OF the Chinese to this coun.
try. Thousands OF signatures have been
obtained. very few declining to add their
names to the list.
At Eureka on the Gath Justice Beatty
was called upon to unite two fu,terinQ
Chinese hearts a. one. The BRIDEGROOM
was armed with the proper documents
and found himself Q benedict quicker

The little transaction will probably be
productive OF little unpleasa ntness iu

The woman was valued ut $500, AMI was

The Virginia Enterprise says that the
rspidity with which that portion Of tho
city known a. East Virginia has been
built up is remarkable indeed. The
movement, we believe. owes its origin to
Judge Mesgher, now deceased. who over
year ago secured title from the Gov.
eminent to considerable tract of waste
land east OF the city which no one re-
Rarded as OF any value, and which from
time immemorial bad been used as
dumping ground for offal and garbage Of
ev,ry description. The bre. yes which
passed over this desolate region we're
anything bnt the
.Sabean odors from the spicy shore
OF Arabic the blest."
Judge Ne gher. stufiug cotton in his
nostrils. located himself in the center O,
his domain, built himself q houss and
commenced selling lots. In q short time
be had street built up with comfortable
residences. After Judge Meaeher's
death the management OF affairs fell in
to other hands, but the work of building
had received such an impetus and the
lots were sold at such reasonable rates
that large numbers Of people. who we're
DESTROYS OF having home Of their own,
we're attracted thither.
The manager Of the Richmond Com.
pany as Eureka, 10 again having trouble
with bis employees. The best thing he
can do Is to step down and out. The
Sentinel says, the facts 10 the case are
these: The company owns the board.
ing house. which Ia leased to the present
occupant at $50 per month. In order
that the venture may prove a success,
thus insuring the permanent occupancy
OF the building. Mr.. Probert seems to
have determined to use his position to
compel the men to sustain the enterprise
even though it may rebound to their
detriment pecuniari,y. Hitherto MANY i
OF the men had cabined themselves with
the view OF saVing every dollar possible |
OF their hard earnings. Some of this |
olass have families elsewhere, dependent
upon them fpr their support and the |
education OF their children. In all such |
cases the mandate of Mr.. Probert can.
not but be productive of great hardship.
There Is considerable feeling among the |
miners on this subject, and we much
fear that the action OF the Resident
Director will result in no good 10 the |
company. A great corporation like the |
Richmond cannot we'll afford to descend |
to petty business OF this character.
