THE ORDER OF CAUCAsIANs.

This il the age of secret societies.
The influence they have on society at
large is proportionately great. Many OF
them have at heart the amelioration of
suffering, the advancement OF merit and
the good Of mankind. Though secrecy
always creates dread in the feble
minded and implies power to outsiders,
yet In many cases secrecy IL necessary
to preserve the band Of union. But
there 10 an order now being introduced
into this State, which. while It champ.
ions a worthy cause. uses unworthy means
to obtain the desired end and needs de-
nunciation on the part Of the press. It
is the "Order Of Caucasians." The
fundamental principle of the order IL
good, viz. crusade against Chinese
labor; but the eternal principles OF right
aud justice should not be overruled
A portion OF Article l6 of the Constitu-
ion Of the Order reads as follows:
l0-All who may appear at any time
upon the lists of perpetual public ene-
mics. Class A shall be public enemies,
class B perpetual public enemies.
n-And it shall be the bounden and
solemn duty of every Caucasian. of every
camp. to pursue and injure every one Of
class A, while he remains on the list of
public enemies, and each and every one
OF class Is forever, ia all their walks OF
life. save religion, morality and person.
l2-Every Caucasian, every camp,
every encampment, and the supreme
camp, shall labor to impede harrass and
destroy public enemy by every mode,
and means, and manner, known and uu-
known. within the reach of brains and
thought, and act, within the bounds OF
law.
l3-In his business. his means, his
substance, his peace and his success,
publicly, privately, socially, commercial
ly. aud above all politically.
There are certain turbulent spirits in
oil times and places who are imbued
with communistic ideas and who would
willingly see every man upset and
troubled provided their own ends were
being furthered. In this precious ex.
tract We have direct command to every
member of that order to pursue, injure,
impede, harass aud destroy" Those
verbs have very plain and forclbe
meaning. The nobility OF labor is some.
thing We all recognize; all attempts at de-
gradation are to be frustrated. But such
means as are denoted by the above ex.
tract are very questionable. The prin-
ciples inculcated in that which We have
quoted are dangerous ones in any land,
doubly SO where passion and imprudent
zeal may carry them out too forcibly.
There is reason in all things. The anti
Chinese movement deserves commenda-
ton; and if it meets with success in
driving out that horrible race is deserv.
ing Of all praise. But such venomous
doctrine as the above is not worthy OF
life. There is enough of discordance
existing now without introducing such a
frebsnd into society's midst.

CURIosITIEs OF THE 200 PIEcE.-Two
years ago the zoo pieces was ordered
The object was to reduce our coinage TO
the decimal. But, unfortunately, the
900 piece was also continued. Nothing
was. therefore, gained by the change,
except the confusion resulting from two
coins nearly The Same size. Hopes were
entertained that by this coin we would
get rid of the phantasmal "bit," which.
though it has no real existence. occupies
q place in all our transactions. But the
20-cent pieces never entered into general
circulation in this city. Large numbers
OF our citizens never saw one Of these
coins, though last year l, 253 500 OF them
were turned out. But the strangest part
OF the story is to come. The New York
Journal of Commerce charges that they
are distributed at the other side by some
process of favoritism. and are not Access
slble to the general public. The journal
in question says that these 20-cent pieces
have been quoted in New York at 20 per
cent. premium or four for dollar. And
this is not the last Of the puzzles which
cluster around this coin. Why should
they be worth more than the halves and
quarters? Are they especially suitable
for small transactions, or do they furnish
an opportunity for sharp practices on
people who are not used to handle coin?
These are questions which we cannot
answer any more than those which are
connected directly with the distribution.
There is chance here for the use Of the
microscope on very extensive scale.
The history Of the 20cent piece all
around might make juicy reading.-[S.
