W- THE CHINESE QUEsTIoN.-Re

w- THE CHINESE QUEsTIoN.-Rep-
rcsentative Faulkner is interested in the
question of Mongolian immigration,an land
is evidently convinced that it is the du-
ty of Congress to take cognizance there
Of, for the purpose of bringing to public
attention the facts in relation to mat
lers of an alleged unlawful and impolitic
nature, in connection with the bringing
of Chinese to this country. For this
purpose he recently reported as the
unanimous views of the House Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, expressed at
his instance, a resolution creating spe-
cial committee of five Representatives to
proceed to California and take testimo-
ny. The resolution which it is thought
will be adopted without serious ohjec-
ton, is as follows
WHEREAS, There are now in Califor-
MIA and the adjacent Pacific States about
one hundred thousand Chinese and other
persons of the Mongolian race and
whereas the said population is increas-
ing al the rate of eight hundred TO one
thousand a week and whereas it is es-
tiInated that 80 per cent of said immi-
grafton consists Of coolies, poems, or
persons held in like condition of service
or temporary bondage, having no SYM
patty aud seeking no association with
political, social or Christian elements Of
said States and whereas it is asserted
that the introduction of this large and
rapid increasing inimicable population
has tended to produce decentralization,
to disturb the natural functions of la
Dor, and has proved injurious to the
States in which it is found and where
as i: is believed by many persons that
this class of immigration was not con-
templa,ed by the spirit of our Constitu-
ton nor by the policy of our early leg
islation, and, in any view, that it is of
such doubtful expediency that it should
not be encouraged or stimulated by
treaty Obligations. With view there
fore, of throwing light upon the impor-
taut and interesting questions here in
volved-
R.,oIued, That committee of five
members of this house be appointed to
examine into the questions here present
ed, with full powers in the premises,
and that the same are hereby instructed
to report to this house at its next SEES
sion.

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES DISCHARGED
On Saturday last considerable Of SEN
sation occurred amongst the work,nen
of the Rolling Mills of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company at Cum
berland when it was announced that
those establishments would suspend
operations for the present. Six hundred
hands were discharged, which will, no
doubt, cause great suffering, but times
are dull and one can hardly expect large
corporations, even, to go ahead at a
dead loss. 1t is said the suspension took
the public by surprise, as it was unlock
ed for, no cause being suspected or as
signed. Business men are very much
excited, as it affect the interests of near
ly all alike.

We STAND TO OUR SuGGEsrIoN.-As
it seems to be generally understood that
Mr.. FAULKNER will not permit his name
to 60 before the Congressional Conven-
ton for re nomination, it will devolve
npon the democracy OF this district to
seek out from among their number a
gentleman in whose hands they can
place the high and responsible duties OF
representative. With all due Difference
to the supposed claims of others, We
stand to our original suggestion that it
is about time to break in upon the Gus
tom that has so long obtained in the Sc
lection of congressional candidates, name
ly, that they must necessarily be taken
from the ranks Of the legal fraternity,
and that no one outside of tina. profess
sion is qualified for seat in Congress
1t is time this iutolerable, seuseless and
Lelittleing distinction was broken up
There are maryland we thank God for
it-outside the disciples of Blackstone,
who are as fully capable of representing
the true interests of the people in Con-
gress as are to be found in the close cor
poration of lawyers. Why then bar the
road to honorable prefermeut Why
should we not take u farmer or mechan-
ic? Will our brethren of the press in
this district give an expression of views
regarding the Experimentation
bug Statesman.
sS- We are glad to learn that Broth
er Eichelberger is coming around on the
right side at last, but better late than
never. For some time past, judging
from the tone of his paper, he led the
people TO believe that no one could ill
the Congressional seat but lawyer, es-
pecially the Hon. Chas. James. Don't
be too fast, brother Smith, it is always
better to go a little slow, then you
would not be compelled to retract.

FATAL EFFECTS OF AN OVERDOSE OF
LAUDANUM.-A sad death occurred in
this city OF Monday evening last. The
victim was Mr.. John r. Schmitt, an
old and respected citizen of Stanton,
who for years had prosecuted the bust
ness of barber and hair dresser. The
circumstances of his death, as adduccd
before the coroners jury, Tuesday,
were az follows: Mr. Schmitt had
been drinking for some days past, and
was Just recovering from the effects of
intoxication. His nervous system was
so shocked that on Monday evening he
begged his wife TO send out and get
some laudanum to quiet HIM. She at
length reluctantly consented and send
ing to neighbor, Mrs. Prufer, procur-
ed an ounce vial of the medicine. She
administered to him 20 drops, and that
failing to produce relief she repeated
the dose, and after little while, at his
earnest entreaty, gave him the, third
dose, making in all seventy-five drops.
She then lett the room few moments
to attend to some domestic duties, and
during her absence Mr.. Schmitt seized
the vial and emptied it Of its remaining
contents. He then came down stairs
to the dining room, and eat a vary
hearty supper. Immediately after ris-
ing from the table the deadly opiate
BEG an to show its effects, and he fell to
the floor Drs. Henkel and Reese
were at once summond and administer
ed emetics and antidotes, but to no
purpose, and he died in very short
time after their arrival.-Siaunion
