FROM THE DAILY OF THURSDAY.
A FRIEND in the East sends us the follow.
ing obituary notice, which appeared in the
Philadelphia Ledger, of June IL, 1876. Many
Of our old citizens will remember the subject
of the sketch: Lieut.. Colonel Thos. c. Eng.
lish, Second Infantry L. S. A., died on Sat
urday June nth at the residence of his moth
wear of his age He had been seriously ill of
bronchial affection for several month past.
He was native of this State, from which he
was appointed to a cadetship at West Point.
On his graduation in 1S49 he was promoted
to Second Licutenancy in the Fifth 1nfan-
try, and served on the frontier. In 1866 lie
was transferred to the Ninth Infantry, in
which he was made Captain in 1857. lie
took part in many Of the campaigns against
the Indians in California and Washington
Territory, and ON the breaking out of the re
belion assisted in organizing the First Regi
ment Washington Territory Volunteers, OF
which he was Lieut. Colonel. In 1868 he
was made Major of his old regiment, the 9Th,
assigned as Provost Marshal of Washington
Territory, and placed in command of the
First Washington Territory Volunteers He
was brevetted Lieutenant Colonel of the
Second Infantry in 1865, for meritorious and
faithful service, and was appointed Chief
Mastering and Disbursing Officer for the
State OF Oregon and Washington Territory.
He was afterwards placed in command of the
Mount Vernon barracks, near Mobile, OF
which he remained in command until June
last. ;her he was ordered to Fort Leavcn
worth II" leaves wife and two children,
the eldest OF whom is now a cadet at West
Point. The funeral will take place to NOR
row at 10 NJ.
We republish the conclusion of an article
in the Victoria Colonist entitled the "Chinese
Probem." Politicians at the East may NOR
aiize by the column upon treaty rights, "
and the "frugal habits and industrious in
clination" of the Chinese immigrant; but after
nearly twenty years of fair trial it has been
found impossible to weave him into the So
cial fabric of this Province. Every induce
ment has been held out to him to become one
of ourselves He has been made citizen
aud given vote; he has enjoyed the same
agrarian privileges as the white British SUBJ
iect; lie has received the same protection
from the laws; he has drank from the same
fountain of learning with the whites, and
has had the missionary laboring faithfully
with him. The result has been failure In
the few cases where he avaied himself of
political privileges he sold his vote to design
ing whites; he has not attached himself to
the soil: he has not availed himself of the
prohered educational advantages; and when
he attended church we fear he did so with
the worldly object of mastering the English
language without the expense OF hiring a
teacher paramount in his practical mind.
To-day John is as much a foreigner as when
he first landed amongst us. He is actuated
by no sentiment except that of making all
the money he can and returning to his native
land to spend it. Money is his God and to
| obtain ii he sells himself into servitudc and
the women of his race he disposes of to the
highest bidder And the white man is asked
to expend his Drawn and muscle in compete
uOn Wild TINS race.
