JOHN CHINAMAN.
Ills Ways of Business In Caliror,
San + rancisco Letter.

San francisco Letter
There is scarce an industry in San
Francisco at present which is not
more or less affected by Chinese
competition. Cigar manufacturers
and dealers are disSustcd with the
growing depravity in taste on the
part of tho citizens which leads to
the annual consumption of nearly a
hundred millions of Chinese cigars,
tho vilest in odor and appearance Of
all nicotinn products the boot and
shoe manufacturers are gricved by
the reflection that moro than three
thousand hcathens are stealing
away their custom and turning out
at least one-fourth of all the leather
goods manufactured in the city ;
the italian fishermen and vegetable
gardeners sigh to see pig-tailcd
drawers of nets monopolizing the
best fishing grounds in the hnrbor,
or the bamboo pole and its twin
swnying baskets providing "gardcn
truck" for whole streets OF families,
while they themselves knock un-
patronized ut the doors. Even. the
Irishnan, who expected no COMP
tition in his profession of scavcnt ttr,
imprccates bud luck lpu,f' the
saddlc-colored gutter - sMpe who
picks papers and rags from the
mud before him. The manufactu,.
OF clothing, tin-ware and woollo
fabrics has also been extensively
undertaken, and, as is the case with
tho other Industries which the
Chinese have entered upon, made
profitable to Ill astonishing degree.
Even as pawnbrollcrs they have
SHOWN marked business ability, and
will grind the faces of the poor in Il
way which would be highly crcditu-
bic to their shrewdcst competitor.
They are betakjng themselves to
new pursuits every day, and there
are now few mechanics and manu-
facturcrs, however secure they might
once have deemed themselves to be
in their spccialties, who would feel
surprised should Chinaman sud
denly offer himself in the market Il:
their competitor.

for the nonce has set aside all con,
jecturing as to the result in Louis,
lana, tho twenty-second Joint rule
and other matters which have formed
the staple of speculative discussion
during the past oventful woek. That
the Republicans are uneasy and anx
lous, if not alarmed, is quite evident.
They are searching authorities to
find precedents for maintaining the
position that the two ex-postmr =
ters are disqualified, md if tie
point of disability is raised, as it
certainly will be, they will be forti-
fed with opinions in support of
their position. The negative argu-
ment is already advanced by them
that n scrutiny of the names in the
Democratic college of electors would
reveal office-holders under the Uni
ted States, such as commissioners to
take dispositions in the several States
national notaries in faot-and
other similar petty officials, equally
disqualified with tho two ex.post-
masters to seve as Presidential
eloctors--Cor. Chronicle and .Senti-

A Materialized Hole,

Take sheet of stiff writing paper

Of the paper tube, and about an inch
or two above it's lower end. The

the passengers, eight in number, were
made to giveup their watches and money.
After robbing the passengers, the robbers
proceeded to rifle the mail. They per-
mitted one of the passengers to retain
his watch, because he claimed that
it was family relic. For
some distance this side on the road slips
of white cloth were tied to bushes, indi-
eating that 1t might have been signal
to toconfederates nm the stage. The rob-
bers took two OF the stage horses, cut the
