l Ours will be holy war: to drive the in-
 .idsls from the sepulclIre of Christ was no,
 a more sublime act of Christian faith than
 to deierd our homes and firesides against the hordes of bias-ev ed barDariAns who now threaten 10 oyerwheim us with Coolie slaves,
 gamb blers, opium-eaters, and window tap ping harIOts The laws of self-defense au-
 thorlZe us to put forth extreme exertion
 that we may resist this incoming black death, this Asiatic plague. IL justifies us in
 burning ships and establishing a military cOrdon along our coast. The ship that
 brings lepeTs 10 our shore may be burned to arrest infection. A civil war will be profit able to us: it will brings us troops. Men wlll enlist at the East 10 come to California t0 fight us, and when the cruel war is ended they will remain to cultivate our lands
 We need immigration, and thIs would give if 10 us at the government expense. We should have enough of loyal men to act as contractors, and we should fnd a market fo- our produce Tn providing army supplies, and out of the commissariat we would grow rich. A thousand millions or SO of dollars spent upon this coast woud be ',just splen- did" these hard times, and put us all upon our feet agaIn. We have had our civil war in California: we suspend the iaws, tied up the courts. hung criminals, exiled New York roughs, and defed the General Government, although General Wool was in command and two shins of war, with their frowning batteries, were swinging at anchor in our port. We had our own way in our little civil war, slthOugh General William Tecum- sch Sherman was in command of the law and order forces. Another vigilance com mittee would be attended with similar re- suits. America is not strong enough, and has not armies enough, to subdue public opinion upon this coast in reference to Chi nese immigration. We are not going to take Fort Alcatraz, or to fire upon a war ship, but we are going to prevent Chinese from coming 10 our harbor, and there are not merchants enough in New York, nor canting patriots in Boston, nor drooling Methodists m all the world, nor wisdom enough iu Congress, nor military genius enough in the War Department, nor virtue enou ,h in the Republican party, nor moral sentiment enough in all the Eastern States, to conquer our resolves in this respect. We are the outpost snd picket gusri of civili- zation upon the western border of this con- tinent and in the interest of Christian civili- zation, and in defiance of an ignorant and sentimental Eastern public opinion, We will fight this battle.

Occasion aily. men palm themselves off on the Re publirans as members of thc parry. when really they are enemies to the Cause.

The Census of 1880.

Speculations at Washington about the next census arc nearly as interesting a topic as rhc conduct of inc eopartners on the stand and their testimony as 10 their con ncctiou with the cipher teiegrams. The census has been the subject of several inter esiing debates in both houses. The divis- ion of sentiment has generally been as to whether the o'd-fashioned way of taking the census should be adhered to, or wheih- CT a more tar-reaching. comprehensive and expensive method should be adopted. The cepsus committees iavor the latter, snd have prepared. with the assistance of statistical experts. very elaborate bills embodyin 2 their plane, The opposition to this iu the Senate has been led by Senator Conkling.
 The statisticiaus who have expressed their views upon what the census IS likely to show. unite in believing that it will Indi- cate an incrrase of s.5OO.O since iS10. or a total of q, 900 .O0O If there is no change in the basis of representation this will give 66 aadi,ional members of Cosgress-wIth- out counting new States and make the House number S5s instead of 2sS as atprcs- ent.

GENERAL J. z. FREMONT.

Tine Tucson Citizen seeus to be out Of humor with Governor Fremont, for some reason. It may he that the Governor neg lected to consult with Johny in regard to what the requirements of the Territory were. We'll. we will sec that the Governor is more polite in the future, and colsults our friend Cum as 10 what policy he shall follow In the admpIsiration of the affairs of Arizona.
 Governor Fremont is a spring chicken verdant. etc, in the opinion or the Citizen editor, but we would remind the youthful fault-fnder that General Fremont was cut fling the wey fpr civilization to take p"sses- sion of the golden shores of the Pacific, be- fore he wa thought of, and might appropriate ly be called the father of this great West ana it is not at all likely that he will waver from the path of duty, right, aud justice, at this late day, for the purpose of satisfying tle whimsical notions of any youthTal ad venturer upon Arizona soil. We intimaied, some time since. that the Gen. was possessed of an unusual amount of backbone and co1T- age. and had nothing 10 fear from yasc'at- ing grumblcrs, and Me are s,iil ot the same opinion.

The Chinese Game before the Burlingame
 Treaty, all the same.

The San Francisco Call, of recent date, publishes some very interesting Chiaa statistics, showing that the Burlingame Treaty, made in 1868, had nothing what ever to do with the influx of Chinese on this coast They came just as rapidly before as siuce the Treaty, and if the Treaty were eu-
 tirely abrogated to-day, the Chinese would
 come just the same, unless some law IT other means were adopted to prevent it. The Burlingame Treaty gave the Chinese no privileges here that the laws of the United States and of Nations did mol already guarantee them. Its object was to g.ve Americans an entering wedge to the China trade, and even that has been fail ure. The first Chinese immigrants landed in San Francisco in February, ls4S, from the brig Eagle, two men and one
 woman. Four more arrived in March, and on ihe 1st of February, ls49, there were 54 men and ono woman on the coast. On the lst of January, 1850, there were 7So men and 2 women; on the lst of January, 1851,
 thsre were 4.Ois men and : women, and on the tst of January, 1852, there had arrived in California, s,129 men and women, and on the 7th of May, same year, the arrivals had increased to 11,7s7. Since that tune the stream has been continuous to this day. Prior to the Barlingame Treaty in 1868, more than sO,OOo had already arrived, an'l the ratio neither increased nor diminished in consequence of it until now it is esti- mated that there are l25, 900 on the coast.
