THE CHINESE BILL.
Trouble Anticipated I'm the Event
of a Veto.

SAN Francisco, February 2S.-In anti
cipation OF the veto OF the anti-Chinese
bill tomorrow, and probability OF dis
turbances ensuing, General McComb,
acting under instructions from the Gov
ernor, placed guard over all the armsr-
les OF militia. Ii is not known that in
doing this he is influenced by the
knowledge of any proposed movement
OF serious nature. 1t is probably
purely precautionary measure. There is
good ground for the belief that at the
present juncture OF political affairs i'll
the State the leaders of the workingmen
and their followers will be the first to
oppose any violent action. In some
quarters it is considered that the Grim
inals might seek to make the veto
the cause Tor creating disturb
ance with view 10 plumber,
but any demonstration from
that quarter would be summarily
squelched. AT police headquarters not
ripple of ofexcitement is discernible and
a knowledge Of anything tending to a
breach OF the peace is utterly disclaimed.

bin, the contestant for the seat from
South Carolina, was read and laid on
the table. COrbin states that he has
been before the Senate for two years
actively asserting his right, having been
duly elected, and the Committee on
Privileges and Elections so reported.

which the Senate refused to consider
his case, and says that the action of
certain Senators indicate that his right
10 the seat will not be acted on at this
session. Ii will be useless Tor him To
renew tho contest next session, he
therefore withdraws from the contest.
Corbin adds that had lac been admitted
he might he enabled, among other du-
ties, to have rendered service TO the
colored people Of South Carolina, now
in need of assistance.
