Colored Regiments.

WASHINGTON, April & In the discus
sion Of General Burnsides bill to-day, re-
pealing the law making four regiments
colored regiments, Senator Bayard took
the broad ground that every element in
a nation ought to be available for its mil
itary service, and that no law now pre-
vented colored men from entering any
arm Of the service. Blaine took sharp
issue with him, claiming that practically
the four colored regiments were the only
ones that the colOred men could enter
and that, if the law in regard to these
was repealed, they could no more get
into the army, upon the broad ground Of
their rights, than they could formerly en-
ter Williams and Mary's College in Viz
ginla, because there was no law prohibit
ing them from becoming students there
Pending further discussion the morning
hour expired and the bill went over.

,-orrs.nondent inquiries IL the Deal,
who = NOV talked Of for Congress on the
democratic ticket, and the Daggett, q
4 I candidate for Governor on the kepub-
iicsn ticket. are the individuals who, as
E.d.rsI ~oAicers, took such an active part
IN nrosecuting some eighteen or twenty
whife men III Unionville eight or nine
wears ago for alleged violation Of the Bur-
iingsme treaty.
The above is from the Silrer State. The
Daeestt 10 the same, but we never heard OF
Mr.. Deal being mixed up in the case in
any way. The circumstances Of the affair
arc ~ follows: Mr.. John C. Fall, as Sup
erintendent Of one Of tho leading mines at
U~nionville, had attempted to introduce
Chinese laborers. The miners Of the dis
triot assembled, and quietly loading the
Chinese in wagons, shipped them off
to tho railroad. The Federal officers
IN this State, Of whom Mr.. DagSett
was one, thereupon instituted proceedings
AGAINST the miners. A dozen or so Of them
were arrested and held as prisoners for
some weeks. Finally tho case having been
brought before Judge Berry, q Democrat,
6f tho Humboldt District that gentleman
ordered the discharge Of the miners on the
ground that the Burlingame treaty had
not at that date been officially concurred
in or ratified by the Chinese Empire.
Whether the Federal officials Of Nevada
acted strictly in the line Of duty is q mat
tor open to discussion, but we thought at
the time and still think that they showed
more solicitude for the welfare Of John
Chinaman than was either necessary or
commendable. 1t is nov in order for Mr..
Daggett 10 take tho floor and explain his
connection with the case. As he was
merely Clerk Of the United States District
Court we have an idea that he had but
little to do with the prosecution.

rurs rs u TALK.

The new Democratic paper at Reno, the
Record, is eminently sound on the Chinese
question. In a recent issue it talks square
ly to the point as follows: "The worst
race of people that ever disgraced this
country Of ours is the Chinese. They are
but . small remove above the brute crea-
ton. They do not take to a single idea OF
Americanism. They laugh ct our Govern
ment and its institutions; they live on ten
cents a day. and that money is spent
among themselves, and for goods imported
from their own country, and the most OF
that Is struggled into America, AND the
Government robbed Of tho duty. They
even ship the bones of their dead back 70
their own country; but as for that io' US
thank Providence, for it would be a shame
to desecrate the sacred sod OF America
with their filthy carcasses. They con-
tract the worst diseases in their own
country, and it is scattered amongst
the whites by their horrible presence.
They are causing the deaths OF thousands
of Americas most promising men by In
Producing the habit OF opium-smoking +;
forty will sleep in a room where two white
men would suffocate ; they force their
wives and daughters to prostitute them
selves that they may reap the gains. They
work for wages that would starve a white
man. And what is worse, they are the
cause Of thousands Of girls in San Fran
cisco to be led astray, because the poor
girls, not being able to obtain any lucra-
tive employment, are compelled to sin in
order to drive starvation from their doors.
They are employed by San Francisco
firms in "making shirts" There they sit
from morning till night, with needle and
thread, sewing up the seams, sewing On
the buttons. and what girls arc employed
are compelled to sit along side the brutes,
for sixty cents q day. And this
is America. Will Congress after
Congress meet and slobbcr the
matter over until patience ceases to be a
virtue and the people be compelled to take
the matter in their own hands? We don't
believe it. Something must be done.
Horace Greeley used to say, in speaking of
the resumption of specie payments, that
only way to resume was to
resume" and we believe. were he
alive to-day, he would say, ''the
only way to get rid of them, is simply to
get rid Of Them" 1t can be done, and
should be done with as little delay as pos
sible, for the longer they stay the harder il
will be to drive them out. Let Congress
pass laws totally abrogating the existing
treaty, and give what are here six months
time to skip"
