IN concluding his report on the Chi
nesc question, Mr.. Sargent says: ITO
any one reading the testimony, which we
lay before the two Houses, it will become
painfully evident that the Pacific coast
must in time become either American or
Mongolan. There is vast hive from
which Chinese immigrants may swarm,
ard circumstances may send them in
enormous numbers to this conntry.-
These two forces, Mongolian and Ameri-
can, are 0lread in active operation.-
They do not anagamate, and all the
conditions are opposed to any assimila
ti'r. The American race is progressive,
ani in favor os II responsible, representa-
tive government. The Mongolian race
s"rms to have no desire for progress, and
t. have no conception of representative
j free Institutions. While the condi
tiunS should be favorable to the growth
al occupancy of our Pacific possessions
hv our own people the Chinese have nd
Nnntsgcs which will put them far in az
vance in this rdoo for possession. They
can subsist where the American would
stsrve. They would work for wages that
would not furnish the barest necessities
"f life to an American. They make their
way in California as they have in the
Islands of the sea, not by superior force
~ virtue, or even industry, although as
" rule they are industrious, but by revolt
ing characteristics, and by dispensing
with what have become the necessities OF
modern civilization. TO compete with
them and equal them the Americans
must come down to their level or below

grave which meets the one who dies up
on ship board. The following is burial
in the desert An invalid colored GIRL
daughter of poor parents, died early one
morning on train No. 6, Central Pacific
Railroad, bound west from Ogden. The
conductor promptly telegraphed to Battle
Mountain to have a coffin made, and all
necessary preparations for burying the
girl. On the arrival Of the train at that
station the body was placed in the coffin
and born from the cars by pall-bearers
selected from among the passengers, all
OF whom marched to the cemetery, the
friends Of the deceased leading and the
passengers following two by two. After
the usual service at the grave, collection
was taken up to meet the expenses, the
pas .engers returned to the train, and the
engine started on after delay of only
half an hour.

brings the news shat Luttrell has got his
Desert Land Bill through the House.
Its provisions are Of such nature rs to
call for serious attention from all honest
min He'd men. In the bill all lands not
producing agricultural crops are classed
a desert lands. As the bill further pro-
vides that the holding of such desert
lands for three years constitutes possess
ion, it can readily be seen that the open
ing for fraud is very large one. In
fact, it simply allows for gaining possess
ion of valuable lands, without settlement
or residence, SO that outside jobbers may
legally control some Of our best grazing
lands. Fortunately, the bill has yet to
pass the Senate, where there is the chance
Of its present tricky provisions being care

PROGRESS OF THE COUNT.

The Electoral Commission has reach
ed its second halting place, and is now
engaged upon the vote of Louisiana.
The vote of Florida was recorded for
Hayes and Wheeler after some delays on
the part of the House, and some actions
upon the part Of the Democratic leaders
there which led many into the belief that
the great reform party was about to give
another illustration OF its Punic faith, by
receding from the position large major
ity of its members had taken upon the
passage of the bill. But the House was
swayed by better counsels than at first
feared, and after rejecting the decision of
the Commission by a vote of nearly two
to one, met the Senate in Joint Conven-
ton and the vote of Florida was then
counted in conformity with the decision.
1t was believed that the Democrats would
object to the vote of Illinois, on the
ground Of the ineligibility of Chaffee, one
of the Electors. But the votes Of The
States were counted in alphabetical order
until those of Louisiana were reached,
when, objections being made TO the re-
. ception of any Of them, the same course
OF procedure as in the case Of Florida
was at once followed and the Joint Con.
yention adjourned.
The decision Of the Commission not to
go behind the returns virtually settled the
Florida case some days ago, and the
strength Of Democratic hopes now rests
on Louisiana. OF the two other States
from which double returns have been re-
ceved, there can be little question, as IT
is conceded by the Democrats that South
Carolina gave its vote for Hayes and
Wheeler, and to permit a President to
assume Office through such dirty, con-
temptble trick as that of Governor Gro
yer of Oregon, should be looked upon as
an Impossibility. And it must be admit
ted, that the Democrats present strong
er case in Louisiana than in Florida,
though in the main the questions to be
ruled upon are the same. The Florida
case occupied about ten days, and it is
hardly to be hoped that Louisiana will
be disposed Of much sooner. This point
once passed the work Of counting will 90
rapidly onward.
Whichever side wins in the count, the
result must be accepted by the other in
good faith. We have favored the bill
creating the Commission, for the reason
that we believed it 10 offer the only
means for solution Of the questions to
, be presented to it in which all could ac-
quiesce. We believed Hayes and Wheel
er fairly elected and were willing to sub
nit their claims to body of men Of as
high standing as the Commission was
certain TO be, with the inference that
they would take an bipartisan and un-
prejudiced view Of the matter. We do
, not question but the majority Of the
Democrats are as fully convinced that
Tilden and Hendricks are the rightfully
elected men, and were willing to submit
their claim on the same grounds. Be-
lieving as we do, we shall be disnppoint-
ed if the Commission decides against
Hayes, and no doubt our Democratic
friends will be the same. But will he

to the President declared lawfully elect
