The Indications are that the Chinese cues
ton Will soon command the serious atten-
lon not only ofthe people OF the Pacific slope,
where the Celestials ind a Judgement, but
OF the entire country. A protest against
Chinese immigration now comes from Brit
Ism Columbia, which Is also suffering from
the competition OF "cheap Chinese labor
with that OF the white population. In q
speech delivered In the Senate the other day
Mr.. Sargent, Of California, dwelt forcibly ON
The evil results OF Chinese immigration, and
expressed the opinion that IL some restric-
tive measures were not put In operation,
California viii become an Asiatic colony.
Notwithstanding the bad treatment the Ce-
lestials receive at the hands OF the white
labortng class, they continue to emigrate.
In 1s6e, 10 go arrived In California, and last
year the number landing In San Francisco
was 1s,iiS. In January of this year, 1 III
arrived; In February, 1877; in March, 1,sT2.
Since 1s6s, 100 ,0i9 reached San Francisco
direct from China. Heathenish In their prac-
tees, and in every respect undesirable as an
element Of our population, IL remains for our
statesmen 10 devise some humane but eff
fectual remedy for the evil complained Of

The shaft for determining the practs-
biiity Of opening an underground pas.
sage between England and France be.
meath the Straits of Dover, has been
commenced at Langatte, in France. Il
will be sunk 1928 below the lowest de-
preston in the Channel; a horizontal
gallery will then be driven for distance
of 3.270 feet. Ifthis is successfully &C.
complished the great tunnel will be defi-
nitely commenced. Speaking OF this
undertaking. II is funny to notice that
the telegraph with it's usual dexterity
transformed Langatte into Margate. The
Virginia Enterprise woodenly located the
latter in France, for which error it was
twitted by the Virginia Chronicle. To
mend matters, the Carson Tribune
blunders in and takes the Chronicle TO
task, and II possible makes the confusion
more COMPOUNDED. It locates Marsate
on the East side Of the North Forelapd,
whereas it is on the north side of that
promontory. The Tribune says it has
sheltered harbor. whereas it has none at
all. except what is formed by very short
stone pier and dry at every low tide.
The Carson philosopher also says 1t is
the very best spot for the commence
ment of the tunnel, when probably it is
the very worst, as IL would have to be
driven miles and miles before it would
commence its submarine passage. We
are not aware Of the point selected on
the English side Of the channel and have
not map of France at hand on which
Langatte is marked. II however, our
recollection of the conformation OF the
English coast is correct, the point of de.
parture on the English side, would be
south OF the South Foreland, some
where between st. Margarets Bay and
Dover. The chalk formation, is there
most solid and compact and the shortest
line across the straits is also close in
that neighborhood. The point we refer
to is at least 10 miles from Margate.

THE CONVENTION.

Tomorrow, il not big with the fate of
Cato and of Rome, will witness The
gathering of the delegates of q great
national party. of a party which since
the fall Of 1861, has held possession OF
place and power in the national coun.
ellis. II is the duty of that gathering
through the medium Of an organized
convention to choose and announce to
the people of the United States the
chosen leader Of that party. For several
times have the members Of the Republi.
can party. appealed to the people to en-.
dorse their choice and on four success.
i've occasions have the people decided
in their favor. Whether they will do 40
. fifth time, depends greatly on the
wisdom that may control the delibera-
tons at Cincinnati and the folly which
may possibly be exhibited at st. Louis.
II the Republicans select man who has
not been hack politician, OF pure I'M
improbable record in public as well as
in private life, he will be hard to beat.
no matter whom their opponents may
nominate. If on the other hand, q mere
partisan is fixed upon. one who has
been warring for mere place and
power for himself and others,
then sadoubtful and arduous struggle
will be commenced. There are men
within the pale OF the Republican party
Of national reputation, stainless lives
and ascertained ability, the nomination
of one Of whom would carry a moral
force which would almost lead to VIC
tory. For such man there is no posi-.
bility Of nomination. The ringsters,
whisky, Indian. Washington and the
rest of the swindling tribe will have a
potent voice in framing the conclusions
Of that Convention. The nomination
and election Of such man as Evarts,
would to the thioving rings be a worse
SsSW saoo tnO CiuCtiOu Va tuo ObLuO-
cratic nominee. Under q man having
the ability. the knowledge. the industry
OF Evarts, no bungling, indolent dis.
honest Secretaries like Delano. Bout
we'll, Richardson, Belknap. Robson or
Cresswell. would be allowed to disgrace
the nation, their chief and themselves.
No relations or Secretaries would be al
lowed to hawk around the Executive
patronage or sell it to the highest bidder.
Jobs would be scarce and contracts what
they professed to be. For such q man
the party wire-pullers have no use.
Consequently q man will be chosen
whom the rinssters believe they can
manage. The machine will be set to
work and grind out machine candi-
date. That is the kind the Convention
will select. Whether the people will
agree with them. is. very, very. doubt
full.
