The newspapers Of the Pacific coast are

head OF Mr.. Seward, our minister to China.
Mr., SIS. offence is found in his intmation
that Chinese emigration from California is
so much greater than the immigration that
the vexatiOus Chinese problem will soon be
solved in that manner The inference to be
drawn from this statement is that the Cali.
fornia press is raising hullabaloo about
nothing, The San Francisco papers, on
the other hand, furnish statistics that are
conclusive, rs TO two points. One Of them
is that more than two Celestials arrive in
California TOR every one that leaves it, and
that, as consequence, minister Seward
doesntlnow what he is talking about. The
individual who, like Mr.. Seward throws
down the gauntlet of defiance to the press
OF whole state, is either very short.sighted
