THE CHINESE QUESTION.
An Intelligent Statement Of its status
by n Christiansxed Chinese Preacher.

SAN Francisco, May I.-Bciore the
Senate Chinese Commission at Sacra-
mento yesterday, Lem Schaun. christ.
ianiZed Chinese preacher, testified that
1t is practically Impossible to convert
grown Cinnamon 10 christianity, though
sometimes successful in the case of bows.
He said that the condition Of women here
was horrible; they were bought and
sold lie cattle, abused by their masters,
and tortured and often killed tor
attempting to escape. The presence Of
the Chinese In this country IS disastrous
TO both whites and Chinese. The Chin
csc here Of the better class, desire immi-
grafton TO be stopped, and the whole
thing can be done in friendly way. The
Chinese government desires TO Keep its
subjects at home. and ii immigration.
which is mostly from the province OF
Canton, were stopped, II would have no
effect on our commercial relations with
China. The Chinese government would
willingly assist to check it, but he was
afraid IL could not do il, as there ARE
eighteen provinces. and a revolution In
almost every province. Christianity has
not advanced by this immigration; #
stopped, il might do something with
those here.
The witness cOrrObOratcd other cyi.
dence concerning the manner in which
the Chinese secret tribunals put price
Oh tle lives Of those offending their laws
and carried out such sentences. As to
the contract system. he said when men
have no money to get to California they
borrow and make contract to work until
they have refunded the money. When
Cinnamon desire 10 90 back to China, the
Pacific Mail steamship company will moi
sell them tickets unless they have check
or ticket from the Six Companies or from
the missionaries. lhis Is done TO protcc,
the creditors. Cinnamon living ia thi,
country, do not think the Six COmpanie,
can stop immigration or the importation
Of lewd women and improper characters
nor have they the power to send then
back to China.

presence ofthc Chinese has upon the ris
ing generation of boys, producing dis
ease and death, and driving boys and girl

most without exception, as criminals

TIE Chicago Tribune, in a lengthy ar
ticle devoted to the presidential question.
admits that Tllden would DC a formidable
candidate for even Bristow to contend
with. II comedies TO Tilden all the late
slave States, with the possible exception
Of South Carolina. Here, then, are one
hundred and thirty -one electoral votes
certain, leaving only ilfty.four to obtain

States Of the Pacific slope will furnish
fifteen Of these, and Colorado four more.
Connecticut will come in with her eight,
and thus complete half Of the fiiy-four.
In the Tribune Of the LIST inst, it is stated
that "Goyernor Tilden Is the only Demo-
Graf who could carry New York" And
thus the Tribune figures up Tilden's cleo.
ton by majority Of eight electoral
votes. There may be cleverly concealed
purpose in this liberal figuring but as we
arc not sagacious enough to detect it, we
present the reckoning rs an indication OF
Tilden's chances as contemplated from a
Radical standpoint.

Because of his vote in favor of raising
q committee to investigate affairs In Mis-

fallen into bad odor with Southern Demo.
Gratis generally. Ina recent letter to a
friend at home, he states his position In
these terms:
will do what I think the interests
of the people demand, though fall a
thousand times In the effort. My dear
sir, the Democratic party must be-
come party of principle-of progress.
Il must not ride at anchor. IL must
cut loose and sail out with sheets spread
aud flag uniurled. 1t must act ailirma-
lively. We must not perish in the wilder.

suDoE DAVIS AND GOVERNOR

Nobody can be IN doubt rs TO the posi-
ton Of the BULLETIN on the Presidential
question. We have declared for Judge
David Davis, OF Illinois. and have given
the reasons for the faith that Is In us.
We believe him to be pure, upright
man. IN full sympathy with the Demo
cratic party on all the vital issues AMI
the man upon whom all the elements of
the opposition would enthusiastically
unite. But we are tree TO say that Judge
Davis is not our political "alpha and
omega" Many Democratic papers,
and scme of great ability
and influence have declared for
Governor Tilden. Should Gov. Il. be
the nominee the BULLETIN will lend him
cheerful and cordial support. Even
his opponents acknowledge that he Is a
man of great intellectual ability. He
seems to have been the only man in New
York who was considered equal to the
work OF crushing out the Tweed and ca
nal rings, which were known to be fat
tenins on the very vltals OF the city and
the commonwealth. In that work Inc en-.
listed himself. and he prosecuted 1t Wig
orouly and successfully. His whole
course has been that of rcformer
and no man in the country Is better
known as an enemy of official fraud, vii
lany and corruption. His Democracy,
too, is unimpeachablc, and no mans pub
lie or private record il frecr from faint
or less assalablc. All this we can say OF
Governor ridden and coming before
the people with such characters a
practical governmental rciormcr as an
climnatcr of fraud and corruption from
the public scrvicc-as n great man intel
lectually and morally, and as man upon
whom all Democrats could unite consis-
tently, we are not prepared to say that
the Democratic National Convention
would, by nominating him, throw away
our chances for party success. We be-
lieve, with iirmness That remains I'M
shaken, that David Davis Is the stronger
man. We believe that he would COM
mand the support Of thousands Of labor
ing men and disailectcd Republicans that
would vote for no other man who has
been spoken OF either rs a probable or
possible nominee. We believe all this
but we do not believe that the Democrats
would invoke defeat or renGer success
impossible by the nomination OF
Governor Tildcn. We will vote tor him.
If he is nominated: we will work for him
cheeriuily. earnestly and persistently.

CisciSNATI, May AT Warsaw. Ky,
between II and IL o'clock last night. Ben,
French and wife, who were incarceratcd
in the county Jail for poisoning an old
and wealthy colored man named Jacob
Jones. were taken from the Jail by a mol
OF masked men and hung to "a limb Of q

Frcnch's had invited Jones to tea, and
while eating lao was seized with ~ mp
toms Of arsenical poison aud died shortly
after. Their object was supposed to
have been to get possession OF some OF

TnE recent overflow of the lower Mis-
sissippi country has caused a renewed
discussion Of the levce question. The
Chicago Tribune is violently opposed to
any appropriation by congress to provide
means Of protection, and denies to CON
gress the constitutional right TO do 90. 1t
has been well said that the Tribune might
appreciate the situation Of the in-dwell-
ers OF that watered country, and find a
full warrant for the appropriation, II
Lake Michigan, for u single year, should
play the pranks OF the Mississippi river.
II the lake were given 10 periodical rises
Of thirty or forty feet, and should throw
her maddened waters through the streets
Of Chicago and over the greater portion
OF all the tillsble land In Northern lii
nois, the Tribune would howl Justify for
congressional aid, and DC apt
70 mud q command in the con-
sutulion that II be extended. But
the 1r'bane's OK is not gored, and about
other peoples crippled cattle it feels no
concern whatever. Even ,Cairo's ap-
plicstioh, founded upon an acknowledge
"a necessity Of our river commerce.. ex-
cited the Tribune. ridicule. Not content
indeed, with ridicule, the paper resortej
70 the grossest and most inexcusable
misrepresentation. But the House Of
congress. governed by broader and more
liberal views, has given to Cairo part OF
the sum asked for; aud the time Is moi
In the very remote future. when tho
needed assistance will be extended to the
thousalids Of sufferers In the lower Mis-.
sisdppi valley.

lr was not our purpose. when refer
ring 10 Centennial charges. to stigniatlze
every man, woman and child in Phila-
dclphia, as a robber or thief; but to con-
vey the idea that the eXorbitant prices
fixed by hotel keepers, by merchants,
peddlers and all others engaged in the
bushes. Diminishing the needs OF strang-
ers. had won for the city most unenvi-
able name, and for the citizens. in =

and thieves. "A citizen ofPhiladelplia
denies the fitness OF the designation used.
but while extolIing the energy and liber-
atty Of his fellow-citizens, he admits
that the hotel prices have been raised to
five dollars day, and thereby virtually
comedies the truth OF our charges. Five

lily of four is virtually robbed Of ten dol
lars per day, or seventy dollars per week

upon the hotels would, at old rates, am
ply repay all outlays to enlarge accoDmo

the prices. and precisely to the extent o
the Increase, they rob the visitor.
