No. 2S.

The Committee recommend that
measures be taken by the Executive
toward modification of the existing
treaty with China, confnng it to strictly
commercial purposes, and that Congress
legislate to restrain the great influx of
Asiatics in this country. 1t is not be-
lieved that either of these things were
looked upon with disfavor by the Chi
nese government. Whether this is so
or not, it is owing to the Pacific States
and Territories, which are suffering
under the terrible scourge, but are pa
tiently waiting for rectifcation by
Congress.
The Minority Report, presented by
Representative Meade, does not differ
in essential particulars from the report
of the majority.
He suggests a liberal endowment for
professor of Chinese language, saying
we must know more of that people with
whom our trade is constantly increasing.
A new convention should be had with
China, and Congress should establish a
department of immigration, for present
business should remain with the treaty
making branch of this government. A
permanent Chinese embassy, soon to
be established here, and Chinese con-
sulship in San Francisco will be timely,
and greatly facilitate in arriving at an
intelligent disposition of the question
under consideration. A just and equi-
table national policy respecting immi-
grafton is at present needed. and great
wisdom and prudence should character
ize it, especially in the infancy of the
relations which are 10 create so many
bonds of common Interest between the
oldest and the newest nations on the
globe.

Immersion.

The Olympia Echo gives an account
OF an Immersion which took place there
recently:
Not less than 500 persons assembled
on the east end of long bridge, the
neiehboring wharves, and in boats, to
witness the baptismal rites as performed
by the Rev. Mr.. Ludlow, on Sunday
last. 1t was remarked by many that
no occurrence of purely local interest
ever called together SO great an out
door assemblage in Olympia. Four
candidates were received into the visi-
BILE church of Christ by the solemn and
impressive act of immersion: Mrs.
Burntridger, little daughter of Judge
Green, and two little boys, sons of the
officiating clergyman. We understand
that temporary indisposition prevented
other candidates from being on hand !;
and the pastor duly gave notice of an
other baptism to take place at no dis
tant day. The PREDATORY remarks of
the reverend gentleman were listened to
with the most decorous and marked at.
e,-tion by all present; especially when
intimating, as he did, that he was about
to administer q sacrament introduced
into the church more than l.S0O yeas
ago,
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1877-03-09
The Chinese Investigation.


Senator Sargent from the Joint Con-
gressional Committee to investigate the
Chinese question submitted his report
to the Senate on the 9th ulto. The
substance thereof was telegraphed to
the Oregonian, from which we CLEAN
the following items of interest to the
general reader.
The Committee visited the Pacific
Coast and examined l3O witnesses. The
testimony taken coveres over 1900
pages of printed matter and embraces
the views of all classes of the com.
munity, and of every variety of in.
terest.
In the opinion of the committee it
may be said that the State of California
and the Pacific coast have beeen more
rapidly developed with the cheap and
docile labor of Chinese than they would
have been without this element. So
far as material prosperity is concerned,
it cannot be doubted that the Pacific
coast has been great GAMER. This is
true at any rate of the capitalist classes
if she inquiry should stop there.
Those men who largely employ Chi
nese testified that the chinese element
has benefited the material interests of
the coast, but there are moral and social
evils springing from this immigration
which in the future would counter
balance the advantages gained by the
present rapid production of wealth.
The number of adult chinese residing
in San Francisco averages, during the
year, about $4,000. The report then
describes at length the personal habits,
the customs AMI the difficulty of deal
ing with them for offences committed, :,
because cf their disregard OF the sancti-
ty of an oath. From evidence taken
the committee make the deduction that
there is not sufficient brain capacity in
the Chinese race to furnish motive
power for self-government.
The committee concluded that the
weight of public opinion on the Pacific
coast was decidedly averse to Chinese
immigration. The witnesses examined
by the committee were of the opinion
that the Chinese do not desire to become
citizens of this country, and have no
knowledge or appreciation Of our insti-
tutions. That they do not desire the
ballot, and that there is danger, if they
had that desire, head men would con-
troll the sale of votes in numbers large
enough to control any election. The
report then states:
There are e,springing from this subject
antagonistic considerations, the only
way to reconcile which would seem to
be that laws should discourage the large
influx of any class of population to
whom the ballot cannot be safely con-
idcd. To any one reading the testi-
mony which we lay before the two
houses it will become painfully evident
that the Pacific coast must, in time,
become either American or Mongolian
There is possibility that a vast hive
Chinese immigrants may swarm, and
circumstances may send them in enor-
nous numbers to this country. These
two forces, Mongolian and American
are already in active opposition, They
do not amalgamate, and the conditions
arc opposed to any assimilation.
The report concludes with tie fol-
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1877-03-09

Of the total number, 81 are Ameri
cans, 10 are Irish, 8 are Germans,
and the balance are from all quarters
Of the world.
The Doctor reports that during the
past quarter the patients have made
marked Improvement in their general
health, and that the restraint npon
the liberty of patients has been al
most entirely dispensed with. He
says that according to the best au-
thorities, insanity is 'a disease of di-
minished vitality" and that fresh air
and bodily exercise are very import
ant remedial agents in the treatment
of patients. He regards the remark
able health of the patients under his
care as due to the adoption and en-
forcement of the outdoor regulations.
The patient who died during the
quarter was an old colored man, over
20 years old, who died of paralysis.
Two were discharged as cured during
the quarter, and three others are well
enough to go at any time, but as they
are extremely INDECENT, are held, sub
iect to the will of the Trustees.
During the quarter, s acres of new
land have been cleared and fenced
for an orchard. Besides this, a large
amount of picket and board fencing
has been completed, and extensive
and important improvements made in
and about the buildings. The female
patients have been employed some
what in making clothing, and shoe
maker and a timer have been en-
ployed in their respective lines. The
danger from fire is referred to, and
he again calls the attention of the
Board to his former recommendations
on the subject. He recommends the
employing of gardner at salary of
5000 per annum, and offers to do away
with the outside man, leaving one
man to perform both duties. He rec
ommends that the salary of the Night
Watchman. be increased, and that he
be called Night Warden, as better
expressing the nature of his duties.
The report concludes with summary,
from which we extract the following
items Of finance:

ter, (coin). =. ....... S2,OS5 50

While these two facts are to be consid-

There have been published throughout

wrong to raise trace question" on such

among white people here is less than

what would otherwise be low rate to
what is certainly a large one. A reads
ing Of very carefully prepared and full
report of our Board of Health for the
month ofJune will show this. The low
er class of colored people die of like
sheep, owing to causes not perhaps fully
understood, but partly because Of the
filth, irregularity and vice of their man
ner of living. If the more intelligent
blacks here, who adopt the habits Of reg
ularity and cleanliness which prevails
among the whites, be classed alone, or
with the latter all that is left-the cons
traband negro who came with the war

General Howard does not seem to be
just the commanding officer to fight the
Northwestern Indians. In the first place,
the General is constitutionally unable to
believe anything bad of any one. He
can find more virtue in an Indian or an
African of the lowest class than history
records of all the Indians and Africans
who have lived. Neither has he had
experience in Indian warfare If the
war is to continue, the Government will
probably find its advantage i'll sending
some other commander to the froMt.
