Most any one would suppose that,
when the late decision of the United
States Supreme Court was rendered
on top of the announcement of sew
eral ship loads of Chinese on the
way, the Pacific Coast Representa-
tlves in Congress would have made
some sign of life on that subject.
AS yet, we can't recall word or line
to this effect in the reports from
Washington. 1t would seem that
some one of our Senators and Con-
ACKNOWLEDGMENT or Republican,
capitalist or otherwise-ought to
have been heard from ere this. Does
a short sojourn at Washington dead

A DISPATCH from San Francisco
says: "Major-General Schoheld, for
several wears in command of the Pa
cific Military Division, has been APP
pointed Superintendent at West
Point, and will leave for that place
in short time. Major-General w.
s. Hancock will probably succeed
Seofield here" This seems to ex-
plain the previous report from San
Francisco, to the effect that Scofield
needed shelving. He made very
good record during the war-better
as to decisive results than his sup
posed successor at San Francisco
and ought to prove a good tutor OF
the West Point youth.

WE have several times alluded to
the proposition in Congress to reduce
the number of officers of the regular
army, The subject came up again on
Wednesday, and we see by the pro-
ceedings, as telegraphed, that Kasson,
of Iowa, moved to amend the title OF
the bill so that it would read: "a
bill to punish the army of the United
States for gallant services rendered
by it in preserving toe Union" This
is characteristic of such ''leaders" OF
the Republican party as Morton,
Conkling, etc. 1t is as much as to
say that the present pampered' sell
conceited outfit, styled the U. 5.
army, numbering about $4,000 men,
is the same and equal to the million
of soldiers who fought the war, and
have resolved themselves back into
farmers, merchants, mechanics ana SO
forth We were Disguised enough
at the sight of majority Of rebel
generals in the House of Representa-
tives, but it would have been better
for the Republican, party had Kas-
sons place been filled oy Northern
Doughface Democrat; end 1T could
not have been any worse for che
country. The army that whipped
the rebe lion is not engaged in loaf
ing about the barracks of the country,
or manipulating contracts and deal
ing out post-traderships. The gen
tleman from Iowa may be a good
petty partisan, but as statesman he
is not asuccess.

is to be hoped that no further delay

hardly probable, however, for the

IL Congress and the California
Legislature will but make thorough
work of their investigations into the
system of land frauds that has pre-
vailed on this coast for years, for
giveness should be in order for many
sins of commission and omission on
the part of those bodies. California
suffers more from the American land
grabbers, ten times over, than from
the Chinese element of her popula-
ton.

THERE is a little dispatch from
Kansas, via st. Louis, which con-
stitutes a splendid subject for the
poet. A mother with two children
were lost in a snow storm and frozen
to death. The dispatch concludes
as follows: "The mother had taken
off nearly all her clothes to protect
her children and was herself in
almost a naked condition" John
Hav or Bret Harte never created
out of their imaginations a more
touching scene than this.

The Connecticut State election
takes place next Monday. The two
leading parties there have averaged
nearer tie for several years past,
than in any other State in the
Union, New Hampshire not ex-
cepted. Our understanding of the
present situation is, that the Re-
publicans have a much more ac-
equitable candidate for Governor
than at the last election, when a
certain old enthusiast of an ex-
mayor got defeated by small ma
iority.

Our San Francisco dispatch con-
tains the gist of statement by tue
six Chinese companies, which will
be of interest just now. 1t is pos
sible they have the correct view of
the situation, especially as to a
remedy for the growing evil; that
is, it will involve a treaty cutting
off all intercourse with China, or
none. 1t is very grave question,
in view of the vast and in creasing
commercial interests involved.

The Six Companies Reply.

SAN Francisco, March 31.-There
will be another meeting of the Citi-
zeHH Anti Chinese Committee this
evening. The Chinese six companies
have issued an address to the Amerl-
can people, setting forth that under
the treaty with China, they came
here to make money and return home
with little fortunes Of their own, but
here they found wages so low that 1t
has been Impossible to acquire suf-
ficient means to return. They deny
that the six companies are encourage
ing others to come, bat on the con-
trary say they are doing all they can
to check immigration. AT some
length, the address dwells upon the
insults and indigni-ies offered to poor
Chinaman IN this Christian nation,
and closes by suggesting the making
of a new treaty to prevent intercourse
between the United States and China.

MIR. Bayard at Washington.

correspondent in the New York World.
Gen. Sherman has stated that he had to
leave Washington and settle in st. Louis
because he could not support the expense
of the entertainment of crowds who were
mostly strangers to him and his family, and
in whom they could take no interest. Sena-
tor Bayard has remarked that, although he
owns his house in Delaware and his house
in Washington, he "cannot afford to dress
his wife as the Cabinet Ministers dress

As entered the parlor the Senator's ell
dest daughter was playing upon the piano
an accompaniment to song which child
was singing in clear sweet tone, while
Senator Herman, whose whose family had
not yet arrived in Washington, bent over
the young people, encouraging them with
smiles. Mr.. Herman, turning after the
song was finished, said it gave him pleas
ure to hear music which reminded him OF
his own absent children. A faw simple
ballads followed this conver sation, which
flowed gradually into the discussion OF
agreeable and useful topics.
