a Word for she Council.


To the Editor Of the Ledger:
win You do the people who have bust.
ness and heavy hauling to do to the
Charleston depot the great favor TO in.
quire of the general council why it is
the street between Fourth street and the
depot is not put in passable order2 An
order was made by the council, in June
last, TO have the street repaired, and the
work was let out; but there the matter
rests to the present day. The busy sea.
SOL is zeal at hand, and the street, even
now, is almost impossible to loaded
drays. More commerce passes over
that part of the street referred to than
over the same distance on any other
street in the city, unless it be in imme-
date business oenters. II the council
have no regard for the people they should
have sone feelings of humanity for the
poor mules who have to pass over that
street. The delay in repairing it is an
outrage on the taxpayers, and the poor
mules and horses. Why the delay 10
putting the street in passable order2 Is
there a lob" in it for certain parties,
as is strongly suspected? If nothing
better can be done, let the dilapidated
wood pavement be covered ove with
gravel, which will furnish at least
temporary relief, Something must be
done, and done quickly. Commerce
cannot be made to stand still without
serious damage to the interests of the
city. We invite members of the board
to view tbs ground and see the condition
OF affairs. INJURED CITIZEN.

Chinese Club Life in San Francisco.

After the labor of the day is over,
the weary Chinaman betakes himself
to the club-room, theater or opium den
for an evenings enjoyment. The club
rooms are filed nightly. The China
man is an inveterate gambler. With him.
1t is one of the necessities of life He
will stint his stomach to save a few
cents to crafty his Unsuitable desire to
win or lose. He does not seem to care
what the game is. 1t is said that in
many places in China it is no unusual
sight to see rich merchants carrying
beetles and large grasshoppers in the
large sleeves of their coats. A certain
mark is placed upon each insect, a
saucer is produced, and two of the bee
ties are placed in it to fight battle. The
respective owners make their bets and
the battle goes on until one or the 9TH
er of the insects is killed. The same
thing is done with tame quails, which
are bred and trained in the same man
ner as game-cocks. Since the elfectual
raids made by the police upon the
game of " fan-tan," and the severe
penalties imposed upon all who are ar
rested for playing it, that game has
been generally abandoned. The game
which is now universally played is
"dominoes. Instead of playing the
game as the whites do, the Chinese
mix the dominoes well together Two
dice are thrown for the choice. The
man getting the highest number of
spots on the dice draws off the first
six dominoes. The second best throw
takes second choice, and SO on. The
game is generally played by four per-
sons. The first choice then plays the
first domino; whoever matches it wins
it and plays another domino. At the
end Of the game pieces of Chinese
coin are given out. These coin repre-
sent a certain amount in American
money. All bets aIe settled outside
of the club room. In this way the
Chinaman is enabled TO crafty his
passion for gambling without tres
passing upon the city laws prohibiting
banking games. 1t happens some
times that police officer arrests the
domino players III mistake. He sees
the dice shaken, and being ignorant of
playing a dice game. The Chinese
have been raided so much during the
past year that the appearance Of a po-
lice officer at the door of one of their
club-roomS instantly creates panic,
and it requires the assurance of the
officer that everything is "all right
to quiet them dOwn.--Sdn Francisco

rnE NOR SPIRIT

This country has government which Is
established upon the basis of intelligence and
respect for law. Each citizen having directly
or indirectly voice in tue making of laws,
II Is supposed that all except the vicious and
depraved (who are very small proportion of
the sum total Of population) win stand by
the laws and prevent their violation. The
interests, both national, social and financial,
of all good citizens require this for when it
becomes an established fact that upon any
fancied or real grievance mob can SUCCESS
fully defy the laws, resist the public officers,
and destroy property with impunity, then all
restraint is taken from the vicious, and all
property and business is rendered insecure,
then our government has been proved to be
weak and untitled for its duties, and mon
srchy or some government with power sufiic-
lent to exert itself would be demanded. If
the liberties of this country are ever abridged
it will be owing to the weakness shown by the
government in protecting property and life;
and without full protcctionrto property and
business, there can be no business prosperity.
aud necessarily no prosperity for workmen.
It is therefore folly for any one under pre-
tenco Of sympathy with underpaid labor to
justify or palliate the acts of lawless or leck-
less men. All such outbreaks are not only
an injury to the business Of the country, and
sn injury to the workingman, but an injury
and menace to republican institutions.
That the strikers have in many instances
just grievances we will not hesitate to affirm.
Some of the employees have been ground down
to starvation rates while officers have been ov-
erpaid and extravaganza has been manifested
in Encouragement in other directions. Against
such injustice these men had not only right
to protest but to combine in strike If willing
to risk the consequence Of failure. But they
had no right to use physical force to prevent
other men from working for the wages they
refused, or to destroy the property of COM
pauies that were unwilling to accede to their
demands. Every man in this free country
has a right to sell bis labor for what he
chooses and every man has right to refuse
to work for wages that BIO considers made
quate. Kept within these bounds the sym
pathy of the great mass of the people will
DO with the workingman as against powerful
corporations.
