SOME The following
calculations were made by somebody and
repeated by Kearney on tho Sand Lot
last Sunday: ~ find bill for stationery
of Sl25,5l2 90 for the city and county of
San Francisco for enc year. You can
take one OF our common bill posters, give
him a brush and some paste, and this
amount Of stationery will cover the globe,
both land and water, with seven thick
nosses, and then have enough left to keep
Tho people Of California for five years in
stationery. Or you can cut it into strips,
one and halfinches wide, tie one of them
on to the knob of Bryant's door, and it
will reach to the moon twenty seven and
a half times and back, and then have
enough left to paper tho City Hall from
cellar to dome. Or you can spend that
much money in steel pens, and they will
load the Panama steamer so deep that it
will be dangerous to send her to sea, and
nave pens enough left to supply the citi-
zens of the United States with eighteen
pens apiece. Or put it in ink, and it will
fill every demjohn, every bottle, every
cup, every glass, every pitcher, ana every
saucer in California, and leave enough TO
NIL the aqueduct at Russian Hill, and still
there will be enough left to fow over and
wash Chinatown and all its inhabitants
into the bay"

The PRosPEcT OF A VETo.-At this
moment the probability that President
Hayes will sign the anti Chinese bill ap.
pears very slight. The Pacific Coast
Senator'S and Representatives called upon
him yesterday in body, and derived
from the interview a strong impression
that he would not sign the bill. There
can be no doubt that he IS being infuenc-
ed by the urgent remonstrances of the
Eastern clery, who are using all the agen
cies at their command to antagonize the
bill. Mr.. Hayes happens to be a good
deal more of a Methodist than ho is of q
Republican or statesman, and it is
therefore to be feared that he may pay
more attention to the clerical friends oil
the Chinese than to the people OF the Pa
ciic Coast. 1t must be recognized, how
ever, that he is completely master of the
situation, and that if he does defeat the
bill there is no possibility of carrying 1t
over the veto. Both the political parties
have done their utmost to procure the
abatement of the Chinese evil, and neith-
er OF them could possibly have exerted
moro influence upon the President. But
he at present represents only his individ-
uai prejudices and ideas, and as he has no
political future to look forward to, and as
he does not care anything for the party
that elected him, his position is necessarily
one OF very thorough Independence -
Record Union.

BLAINE IN DEFENSE OF WHITE
B0R.-The New York Tribune prints
three column letter ON the Chinese
question from Senator Blaine. He NAM
t9ins that imm gration of Chinese has not
been voluntary sketches a dreadful
picture Of the Chinese quarters in Cali
fernia f; says that there is not one step to-
ward assimilation that their systom of
labor is blighting, and that a vast mmi
grafton is threatened. He says that the
outcry that we are violating our treaty
obligations is without any foundation /;
that the talk about China closing her ports
TO our trade Is made only by those who
do not understand the question that Il is
unsafe to permit here prescribed and
disfranchised race, and closes by discus
sion of the labor question. He says: 81
feel and know that l am pleading the
cause Of the free American laborer and
his children, and Of his children's child

A VFTo PRoBABLE.-The latest East
ern adyices indicate that President Hayes
will veto the Chinese Restriction Bill, as
witness the following Washington Spe-
cial Of Feb. 25th : "Senators Sargent,
Booth, Jones and Mitchell, and Repre-
sentatives Page, Davis, Wren and Will
liams, this morning called in body on
Secretary Evarts, and subsequently, on
President Hayes. They had long in
terview with both, and went over the
whole ground Of the Chinese question,
with view to securing the Presidents
approval Of the bill restricting Chinese
immigration. The Secretary and Presi-
dent asked many questions, all of which
were fully snswered, but said nothing
positive themselves. The impression left
upon the minds of the delegation was,
however, that the bill is in imminent
danger Of a Presidential vete, if, indeed,
determination had not already been
reached to veto it or the ground that it
does not take the right method Of rene
dying an evil whose existence and need
OF remedy both the President and Secre-
tary Evarts admit. There is reason to
believe, however, that final determna-
tion has not been reached by the Presi-
dent and Secretary Eyarts yet, the latter
having particularly requested Horace
Davis, at the close oFtho interview to-day
TO furnish him certain documents, to
which reference had been made by Davis,
showing the action taken by the English
Colonies, and subsequently approved by
the Queen, for the restriction of Chinese
immigration, etc. There is some ground
for hope that the bill may yet be approx
ed, but the prospect is unqucstionably
very gloomy at present"
A dispatch OF the Goth has this much
further to say: Representatives Lut-
trel, Wiggington and Patterson to- day
urged the President to sign the Anti
Chinese bill and presented arguments and
reasons for SO doing. The Presidents
answer was similar 20 that given to the
Republican Congressional delegates yes
terday. The Democrats, like the Re
publicans, left the White House with
the impression that the President will not
sign the BILL"

COPPER CRY has been the principal
theme Of conversation during the past
week. Last Friday word was received
here that the Extra Mining Company's
checks had been refused at the bank in
San Francisco, and rumor lad it that
the company had failed. Saturday
mornings papers contained ;he state
ment that the company had made an
assignment for the benefit of their credi
tors. Many of our business men who
held checks for various amounts and who
had considerable in accounts standing
at Copper G ity were considerably exer-
cised over these reports. On Monday,
however, the welcomed news was re-
ceived that new Superintendent had
arrived at the scene of operations, that
the work was to be continued, and that
hereafter cash payments to all employees
would be the rule. 1t is also stated that
ali of the checks now outstanding will be
received and paid at a small discount
These later reports have had a cheering
effect, and everyone now appears satisfied
that good times are yet in store for Cop

THE leading article in the March mum
Der of THE North Ame,icaa RerieD
is a symposium on negre suffrage, by Sen
ators Blaine and Lamay, Governor
Hampton, Representatives Garfield and
Stephens, Wendell Phillips, Montgomery
Blair, and ex Governor Hendricks. Mr..
Blaine opens and closes the discussion.
He claims that the Negro was wisely and
justly enfranchised, and should not be
deprived Of his right to the ballot, but
that lie is practically disenfranchised
by intimid idation; and ho demands for
aim ali Of the privileges that have been
granted him by constitutional amend
ments. Messrs. Lamar, Stephens and
and Hampton insist that the political
liberty OF the Negro is not seriously in
terlered with, and argue that if the South
be let alone all Of the difficulties growing
out of emancipation will adjust them~
selves. Hampton Gays that a qualified
suffrage would have been better for the
Negro, and Stephens declares that if an
attempt should be made TO deprive the
Southern States Of their present represen-
tation in Congress on the plea that the
Negro is not allowed to vote in accor-
dance with his convictions, it would be
the most wanton outrage that ever was
attempted in any country. Blair takes
the ground that Negro suffrage is and
always must be failure, and instances
the trial made with the blacks in the
West Ind les by the English. Wendell
Phillips asserts that the colored voters
have exhibited as much wisdom in politics
as have their white neighbors, and that
the South was better governed under
Negro rule than it been since under white
legislation. Gen. Garfield thinks that
colored suffIage has been more than fair
ly successful, and says that the era Of
peace and good feAling will come only
when the Negro shall be allowed to cast
his ballot without interference of any
kind .-Appeat.

OUR MERCHANTS AND THE CHINESE.
One of the faverite Misrepresentation Of
the Eastern pro- Chinese press was en-
phatically nailed by the action Of the
Chamber of Commerce in favor of the
bill to restrict Chinese immigration. That
body does not represent the "hoodlum"
element which the people of the East are
told is the only class on the Pacific coast
untavorable to the presence Of the Chinese
here. The Chamber Of Conmerce 10 u
commercial body, and its voice is the
voice Of the mercantile community. 1t
gives forth no uncertain sound. Tho
memorial to the President is earnest ard
emphatic. Its purport, and sentiment of
those for whom its speaks, cannot be mis-
taken 1t is high time that the "hood-
lum" cry were stopped. Never in any
community was there more unanimity of
opinion than that which prevails on this
coast adverse to the inroads of the Chi
nese. 1t pervades men of every class,
trade and occupation - Chronicle.
