MUD SPRINGS, ELDoRApo COUNTY,
CALIFoRNIA, MAY 14th, 1877.

at leasure now, l thought / would
write you a small letter ''for luck
This place is in statu quo and has
been ever since 40, though the climate
Is the same, The people are not.
John" has entirely overrun his
neighbor i'll Mud Springs, the place at
one time was American, now it's
chiefly Celestial. There is a popula-
ton of Chinese in this once American
village in numbers equal to the popu-
lation of New York City or Philadel-
phia, all engaged in the lucrative
business of "washy,' eating rice,
drinking very bad brandy, smoking
and sinking of opium. This Ameri-
can Pekin is just 20 miles from the
Capital of the State. When We say
state we mean the State of California.
Here In 40 and to 80 the Anglo Sax
ton brought into requisition the long
tom and cradle, which in SO TO so was
supplanted by the hydrolic and
ground s~luice, and for the lastdecade
has been the objective point
with John, and Mahalay "Alsame
Milikenman." John is q very thrifty
go-a-head kind of a little body, and
as that fellow in the Missouri Repub-
lican would have you to believe in his
articles of last summer. Industrious
&C., &c. We don't think there are
more than two of C%alifornia's citizens
who would contend that John makes
Il better citizen than even Americans
themselves and these two citizens are
Aaron 4. Sargent, and cX-GOy. Lea
land Stamford Of that State, the
former a respectable member Of the
Credit Mobiler, and the latter built
for the government the Central Pacific
railroad. There are two very promi-
nent traits in JOHN Chinaman's char
acter that distinguish him from the
other Johns, and that is, he win on
all occasions steal any and everything
he ear lay his fingers on provided
however, said thing belongs toa Mill
kcnman, the other is his adaptability
for s%upplanting the truth with the
most glaring of falsehoods and we
might add Il third is his smell of
opium. Under and by the treaty
with China, effected by Stanford and
Sargent through the then accredited
United States Ambassador to China.
Arson Burlinghamc, John is entitled
to all the privileges and inmunities
under the lasT and constitution came
as any other Milikenman, and all
Cinnamon born on the shores OF
American soil and raised within the
United States ale American citizens
under the treaty and by the 10Th
Amendment. Notwithstanding almon-
cd-eycs, pigs tail, blue cotton frock,
and opium eating and smoking. Mr.,
Stanford and Sargent were loyal men.
they with Mr.. Eratc's Corning bull
the {. p. railroad, and in order to DO
the work cheap for the Government,
they send agents to China to import
Chinese coolies and the Govern
ment says give us the same right Us
you Americans and you shall have all
the China Tarter coolies you want
fifteen millions, if you want them, we
can spare two or three hundred mil
lions and then not miss them. Well
Stanford and Sargent, Lowe, Croker,
Rev. William Star, King & Co, you
know whenever the radicals want to do
something they know to be unlawful
and dirty, they always hunt up y
preacher, or as they please to $ yle
them rs ministers and the bigger and
the dirtier the lot the better and
greater the minister, 50 these fellows
go to work and petition Congress and
besiegc the loyal men in and ont of
Washington for this amended, or We
might say new treaty with China, and
Mr.. Burligane is sent over to the
llowery Kingdom to make American
citizens of NIL the Johns in China,
and especially all Of those that will
come Owe and work on Stanford's
road and vote the radical ticket while
Sargent is very busy in the interest
of the Credit Mohiler steal which
afterwards brought-a lasting reproach
upon this people, AMI a black spot
upon the American character. SO the
Cinnamon came to America to build
the {. p. r. r., but it turned out
that there happened to be somebody
else interested in the prosperity and
development of the great State, and
such lights as James Cawfroth, Judge
Todd. Robinson, John II, Mcconnell.
j. ii. Hardy assisted by all good and
honest men issue a circular calling on
the people to enter their solemn pro-
test againstthat hyrda-headed monster
Chinese suffrage. So notwIthstand-
Ing all the fair promises and the un-
limited use of the treaty making pow
err the people of the great State of
California fail to look upon John as
an American citizen, aad brother
w, A. \. Sargent, and brother Stark
ing to the contrary, Notwithstanding.
This fellow Stalking, could never
preach i'll those days unless the
American flag was flying from the
churches dome. and the altar within
