GEN. sUrLEE, INTERVIEWER.

Gen. Butler, who is an original Green
back man, and one of the most radical
kind, thinks all that Is necessary in order
TO carry New York and Massachusetts, on
that issue Is 20 have the question thorough
ly discussed. lie believes that the reason
why the west is more in favor of Green
backs than the east is that the question has
been more discussed here than there. In a
conversation with representative of an
eastern paper, one day last week he said:
The people in my state do not understand
the currency question yet, and it needs dis
cuSsion there. With fair discussion in New
York State of this question for a month, we
could carry it. The question has never been
enlarged upon east of the AlleghanieS as il
should have been, except by the press here
all on one side, and now they have lost much
Of their influence with the people, except
with the bigoted' by their terrible predictions
Of The ills that the passage of the silver bill
would bring. The people are not likely TO he
fooled much more by them, and it is a good
thing, There should have been more sous
sion OF the silver bill in Congress; and
contended ii should have been
debated for week before it first pass
ed, and then We should have had no scare
You think could carry Massachusetts next
fall il l ran for Governor 1t will require
much discussion TO change the opinions OF
the people down there. The reason the West
differs so much from the East on this aues-
ton OF finance IS that there has been full
discussion at the West. As 10 the resumption
act ii is practically a dead letter. The Senate
committee will not report ON the repeal bill
for some time, in my judgment. They are
inclined to wait and see the working of the
silver bill and its effects on business. The
Secretary of the Treasury will probably put
en S3,OOO,GcO or 100000 per month, a mere
drop in the bucket. The silver bill, however,
has killed the resumption act, as il has stop
ped the sale of the per cents. on a gold basis

and. what is vastly more important, it has
Stopped contraction. People should now see
that their property cannot 20 any lower in

Have the American People Violated
the BurlinEane Treaty.
Irnfar

Inter Ocean III
The Christian people OF the United States
annually spend large sums of money in
missionary labor among the heather Of Chi
ma and Japan. From time 20 time we have
had most favorable reports those benighted
regions, which gave promise Of grand results
in the future. But recent facts lead I to
believe that we have a larger need for mis-
sionary work at home than in China or a.
pan. ii all the missionaries from these re-
mote regions should be recalled, and settled
in California, it would appear they would
find active work for the next half century.
The residents of that fourishing State de-
clare that the Christianity Of 100000 peo-
pie stands no show beside the 100 900 heath
en- who have invaded her territory, and
''for every convert made TO Christianity
from the heather, fifty are made heathens
from the ranks OF the Christian class" A
bill has been introduced into Congress to
prohibit any future emigration, and asking
England to unite with the United States to
abrOgate the existing treaty. The attorney
OF the Chinese six companies OF San IRAN
cisco has addressed letter to the Secretary
Of State, asking, on behalf of the Chinese,
that Congress levy . tax of 500 On every
ShiAc-c AZ thS
States, and that the money so collected be
used as fund to return the destitute Chi
nese to their own country. If such is the
usage of Christian America, the less we
boast OF our broad civilization and charity
the better. III we cannot stand the strain OF
few heather without becoming converts to
their doctrines, we had better direct our
c,techism for the present to the native
inhabitants, who can be reached at less ex-
pense and with less labor. The treatment
of tie Chinaman in California has been
unwise, and many respects dizgraceful
to the civilization Of the age. 1t is
not wonderful that he has never
learned to love our religion or our institu-
tions. To be hOoted at and stoned in the
highways, and become an outcast from the
haunts of the native class, does not tend to
impress him with the beatty and attractive
ness of our religion or our laws. We do
not wish to be understood - saying that
Christian men are engaged in this bitter
persecution /; nevertheless By their silence,

time he had the vision he saw himself at
the edge, and unable to move back, being
likely 10 ia!i he said he was clairvoyant,
and had always been able to see the end OF
any sickness from which he had suffered
but the present; he could no: sse how that
was going to end" Bennett once asked
Vanderbilt ii being better, he would not re-
ceiye the visits OF his children in his room,
aud the old sinner startled him With the
remark, "No, d-n them; they are all bas-
tards but Bill" We shall get pretty cor
rect idea of the character OF this good o,d
man II this case continues in court.

they are consen;iug to the outrage perpe-
rated by the careless hordes upon the de-
ienseiess and ignorant emigranis. Certain

promises OF a treaty that their rights !,

treaty,in every essential particular. ar.
Congress should take note OF the-fact and
make efforts at correction, or gather up ans,

Elsewhere in THE TINS this morning
We publish, in iGll, the opinion rendered b
Judge Foster, in the United States Circuit
Court, overruling the demurrer, in the case
of the State OF Kansas against the Leaven-
worth, Lawrence & Galveston Rail Road
Company. Judge Foster reviews the case
at considerable length, and in his opini on
affirms all that the people have ever
claimed, namely: That the condition IN
der which the road was chartered and en-
dowed, require it to build and operate its
road to the City OF Leavenworth, and thai
If it neglects or refuses to do this, the state
has right TO take compulsory measures
in the premises. The question Is one OF
great importance to Leavenworth, aud tins
decision OF the court is an important VIC
tory Tor the city.

OF COURSE,

Everybody is familiar with the manner
in which the Chinese have been assaulted
and murdered by the mob element in Cali,
fornia, but some few, at least, may be sur,
prised to learn that the Cinnamon we're to
blame for all this. A committee OF the
California legislature, appointed to investi-
gate the outrages referred to, has just sub.
mitted its report, declaring that every such
assault and murder was the fault of the
man assaulted or murdered.
