Disappointments.

This world is vale of disappoint-
ments. These incidents thickly dot
the pathway of life. They are more
numerous than episodes in poor
mans family; plentier than poke
berries in Indiana; than hypocrisy in
high places; than cess pools in Los
Angeles; than falsehoods in the ego
tistical concern across the way; than
saloons in Santa Monica; than heas in
San Francisco; than disappointed of
flee seekers about Washington; than
the mistakes of our City Council; than
the creditors of our extinct bank; than
trade dollars in the pockets of the
poor. None of us can avoid disap-
pointments. They are the chief ill
that flesh is heir to. We have encount-
cred disappointments almost every day
of our life and sometimes they have
loomed up like a Yerba Buena fog.
But the most stupendous affair of this
kind that it has ever been our misfor-
to encounter come suddenly upon US
a day or two since and we are yet
writhing in the agony it threw us in
to. In last Sundays San Francisco
Chronicle we read long account of
what Senator JONES proposed doing
in the railroad line. We are ofcourse
we'll aware of the fact that the Sena-
tor is a man of vast wealth; that the
value of his real and personal proper
ty is estimated by the billion and that
his cash on hand is always counted
by the tens of millions and we there
fore concluded that when the Chroni-
Gle said the Senator proposed toimme-
diately close up the little gap that in
tervened between the Santa Monica
depot on San Pedro street in this city
and the Western end of the Union
Pacific road at Ogden, the thing was
as good as done and that onr people
would be enabled to reach Philadel-
phia before the close of the Centennial
year by way of the Jonesville San
Pedro street, Cajon Pass, Ogden,
Chicago and Quaker City double track
steel rail lightning railroad, built in
thirty-one days six hours and forty
five seconds, by Senator JONES. We
rejoiced and felt exceeding glad. We
scared away up and looked down with
a sort of pity not unmiXed with con-
tempt on that part of the world that
was so unfortunate as not to lie ada
cent to our great railroad. Imagine
if you can, our distress when after
having almost completed the article
we learned that the Chronicle report
er had not seen Senator JONES did
not have the remotest idea of what he
| intended to do in the railroad line,
and was in fact merely repeating the
| substance of conversation he had
just had with our esteemed fellow
citizen, Colonel J. L. CRAWFORD.
This world is full. of disappointments.

VICTOR HUGO, one of the brightest
of the literary lights OF Europe, has
made q woeful blunder in asking the
unconditional pardon of the Commun-
lists. He never was practical man,
and yet his theories in many respects
are Of the highest character. In his
greatest work, "Les Miserables," he
gives vivid picture of human nature
in its best and meanest phases, but
when he assumes the role of q states
man he makes sublime failure. To
pardon the Communists would be to
put premium upon riot and crimi-
nal outrage.

cent again at variance. The present
attitude of the European nations shows
plainly that the day is not far distant
when the Christian church and the
Mahometan dynasty will come in col
lision. The recent cloud has in a
measure been dispelled by Temporal
ry peace, but to a certainty the cross
will be the standard of religious faith
in Eastern Europe ere many genera
tions have come and gone. Increas-
ing effeminacy is palpable on the one
side, and on the other is growing
strength and vigoi. The two ele-
ments cannot long remain in harmo-
nious intercourse, or. even existence
in such close proximity.

SOME Of our contemporaries at the
East are complaining that the centen-
nial will not be paying institution;
that the expenses are far in excess OF
the income, and that at its close the
buildings will be held for heavy In
debtedness. Who cares-the benefits
to be derived from the exposition will
so far exceed the paltry Indebtedness
that the amount can be considered as
virtually nothing, and the people can
afford to pay the obligation ten-fold
over.

This sums up an aggregate of 75, Ill
arrivals during the five and half
years ending the 1st of January, 1875;
and estimating the rate of arrivals for
this year at 10000, (which seems mod
crate, as this appears to be good
year for Chinese immigration, we will
have to add 10000 for the portion of
1876 that is passed.
From these figures, deducting 5000
for deaths and returns, we find the
number of Chinese in this country to-
day to be 10000. This we think is as
nearly correct an estimate as can be
obtained. and we regard it reliable.
From this it appears that the Chinese
on this Coast are climbing rapidly. to
a quarter of a million in numbers, and
it looks like foreshadowing of their
control of this section.
In the report of the learned Profes-
sor Porter, of Yale College, Connecti-
cut, to which we have referred, be
urges Chinese immigration as very
desirable, and expresses the opinion
that China could spare millions a
year without feeling the loss, except
IN sense of relief, and America can
absorb these millions, so far as sus-
tanning labor is concerned, with no
sense of repletion. The Professor
seems evidently inoculated with the
intellectual and political virus of the
universal iatherhood of God and uni
versal brotherhood of man. party
Therefore, while his statistics and
facts may be correct, his inferences
and views based upon them are alto
gether at fault. One great difficulty
in staying the Chinese evil, for the
preservation of our own laboring
masses and the purity of our civiliza-
ton, we shall find to be in correcting
the false views of the class of our
countrymen to which Professor Par
ker belongs.

Thus the aggregate arrivals of Chi
nese in this country up to June SOth,
1870, were los, IA. Deducting the es-
timated number of deaths and returns
to China, It appears. that at that time,
there were not less than 100000 OF
these heathens settled in the United
States.
Now, from the most reliable sources,
we gather the following statistics of
this immigration since June goth,
1870:
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-05-26
How Many.

Inasmuch as the Chinese question
is assuming peculiar prominence
throughout the coast, we deem it. is
worth while to quote from contem-
porary, the San Francisco Examiner,
wherein a careful estimate has been
made as to the present amount of this
element in our midst, and the proba-
BILE increase in the future. The state
ments of our contemporary are based
on facts:
A discussion, or rather dispute, has
been going on between Eastern pa
pers as to the number of Chinese in
the United States. The New York
Times says, .There are no exact sta
tistics showing the increase by immi-
grafton" of this class, and is rather
disposed to discredit current represen-
tations of the subject from this side of
the continent as eXaggerations. A
correspondent of the New York 7ri-
bune the other day, who seemed to
claim "to know it all, )" stated the to-
tai number of Chinese in this country
was $4,000, and spoke Of their arrival
in any unusual number as nonsense.
We think that with the data before us
we can set this subject properly before
the country. In 1870, the Commits
sion of Education, lin view of the in
fluence on American civilization
which Chinese immigration foreshad-
ows, and which should be met by a
more general as well as a better edu-
cation, of our Masses" requested Prof.
Porter of New Haven, Connecticut, to
prepare an article on the subject for
the annual report of the Bureau. In
obedience to this request he prepared
lengthy and intensely pro- Chinese
document, from which we extract the
following facts:
The number of arrivals in this cOun-
try since 1920 are thus chronicled:

One Of tho most singular objects to be
displayed at the Centennial Exhibition
will be section OF travelling sidewalk, an
American invention for solving the prob.
lem Of rapid transit in cities. This tray.
cling sidewalk, a. it is generally called,
but more properly an endless railway
train, will be half mile in length, oper-
ated by stationary engines, and run at q
speed Of from 10 to 2Omiles an hour. The
transfer seats, and all other appliances,
will be ofthe same size as those intended
for general use, by which means pasSen-
gers may get on or of the train with ease
and safety without stacking the speed Of
the train. A company is organizing in
this city, with capital Of 100000, for
the purpose Of displaying this unique ma
chine, Among its corporators are Peter
Cooper, George Hoffman, Samuel G..
Courtney, Captain Spencer, and r. A.
Terhune. The whole work Is expected
to cost about $4,000, and will be opera
ted for the exhibition, with q charge to
thosc who ride upon It. This novel mode
OF travelling has attracted much attention
Of late, and charters for putting It into
practice in New York city were twice
passed by both branches Of the Legisla-
ture, but vetoed by Gov. Dix as being an
experiment. It is the purpose Of the
company, after the close Of the exhibit
ton, to transport the road and exhibit It
in London and Paris, and other cities.

/ OBJ. FRoTIuNGHAM preached rather
noteworthy sermon to his independent
Liberal" society in New York recently
on infidelity, which all evangelical Chris
tians will allow he should be an author
ity upon. After dismissing what he
called the cold school Of infdelity"-
which said God was absolutely unknow-
able, the universe was governed by in
flexible laws, men were their own proyi-
dences, and prayer was superstition
Mr.. rockingham turned to the "new in
fidelity" which may not be SO faithless
after all. "The new infdelity is religious,
and makes war not against faith, but
for faith. Because no defini-
ton Of God satisfies them, they do
not believe there is no infinite mind.
Because It doubts the deity Of Christ,
it does not feel called upon to
disparage Jesus or TO withhold the
slightest tribute to that sweet spirit who
blessed his age. Because no plan OF the
hereafter satisfies them, and all seem poor
and thin, It does not feel that it must
deny the hereafter, or say that there is
nothing but blank space beyond the
grave. It discredits the special inspira-
ton Of the Bible, but it recognizes all
the beauty, truth and grandeur OF its
poetry. The old school Of infdelity digs
Il grave for the past; the new opens the
door for the future. 1t is constructive
instead OF destructive. Shall we go on
protesting, debating, pulling down, when
there are SO many millions OF souls ask
ing and seeking for something that is
better to come? The new in6delity
admits the need, and comes forward to
satisfy the claim" The Liberal
Christian grects the spirit these words
display, saying: ave must come more
and more to accept the method Of inquiry
adopted by Matthew Arnold, which rests
hopefully on tho Eternal Power for right
consnesS. We, "a Unitarians, deny the
deity OF Jesus, yet let US never fall into
the ilippant or shallow disparayement Of
him which marks SO much OF the free
thought OF the time. While not being
able 10 map out, as with a compass, the
future life, we may stoutly resist the
materialisS who say that there is no i'm
mortality. And we may accept the Bible
for what Il is-not science or dogma, but
literature-the historical record OF a
great people, the high dreams and aspira:
lions OF noble men, the PRONUNCIATION Of
the lOftieSt theories Of morality and per-
sonal righteousness-strengthen in the
New Testament by the wonderful life OF
that sweet spirit who blessed his age
ever given to man."

Only to aid you in the very commend.
able effort to give to the public all mat
ters Of news or interest, and also to cor
rect, as far as the facts will justify, q
very general misconception, desire 10
tax your space and avail myself Of your
usual fairness to your constituency.
The misconception Of which complain
Is that the tenets and rites OF the Episco.
pal Church tend or lead "Romewards.'
This we believe maybe wholly corrected
by the facts, few OF which We offer:
From the Syracuse IN. " Courier we
learn that on the 9th OF January Bishop
Huntington, Of the Episcopal Church,
officially received as ia Priest Rev. Prof.
Alphonse August Dupont, native Of
Normandy, and for several years ap4rish
priest in France, Of which facts the
bishop holds the documentary proofs
and testimonials. Prof. Dupont is highly
respected in Syracuse as teacher Of the
French language in the High School &c.
The two following cases We copy from
the American Church Review" for jan
uary;
"The Rev. p. ]. Valentine, D. D. late
a Romish Priest, was recently received
into our church by the Bishop OF New
York. He is to be connected with the
Italian Mission in New York"
"The Rev. Mr.. Penniman, who two
years ago perverted to Rome, has return
ed 10 the Church"
To this we add, from very careful mem
orising, from the published records, the
fact that the Episcopal Church has re-
ceiyed more priests in the past six
10 eight years, from the Roman Church
than the Episcopal Church has lost to the
same body Of Christians, and we believe
the same Of the church OF England.
These facts arc susceptible Of proof,
and shouldcarry weight with an
unparalleled mind, and go far to eradi-
cato the popular fear that the conserya-
tive faith and edifying ritual Of The An
glican Church tend to any other end than
the ostensible ones OF converting souls
and performing deeds Of mercy and chari-
ty. Although these results are accom-
plished without much noise or sensation,
they seem 10 attract n fair share OF the
intellectual minds OF our country, as in
dictated by her rapid growth in most
places, and also by the large number OF
Protestant clergymen attracted to the
church for holy orders, which arc ire
quent occurrences as indicated by the
published records. VoX EccLEsIA.
