FISHING.

in fishing, started last week for the fishing
grounds at the head of the bay. The first
shad was caught on March 31st, by Mr..
Jones; and the first five taken were sent to
the Bayard House. Capt. Layman, the pro
prietor having offered a premium of five
dollars for them.
LAST YEAR
the first shad was taken on the 10Th OF
March, and for six years past they haven
failed to put in an appearance at the head
of the bay at an earlier date than they
came this year. We, therefore, must ac-

THE CHINESE.

The Pacific Coast is being aroused
ON the Chinese question. The people
are alarmed at the great. and constant
ly Increasing influx of these pigtail
specimens of "a man and brother ;"
The increase of this class of the
brotherhood of man." is one of the
legitimate results of the policy of the
party in power. When Democratic
papers and speakers few years ago.
protested against the injustice of the
Burlingams treaty, they were de-
nounced by the leaders of the Repub-
lican party, as demagosuss. fools, and
knaves. When workingmsn organized
for self protection, and demonstrated
against the importation of Coolie labor
they we're indicted as enemies to the
public veal. The leading Republicans,
especially in this county, gloated over
the indictment of workingmen by a
United States Grand Jury and their
prosecution by the Federal authorities.
They were the champions of Chinese
and Coolis labor. and for aught that
appears to the contrary, they are SO
still. When Democratic statesmen in
1870 pictured the evils that would re-
suit from Chinese immigration, the re-
ply Of the party in power was vituper-
alive dsnunciation. In vain have the
laboring masses of the Pacific Coast
appealed for relief, until capital finds
