The prisoner must give up his fettere,
and the invalid his pains and weaknesses

certain sacrifices to be made by him who
enters upon the Cnristian life, but they

Chinese JOss-Houses in San Fran
cisco.
How the Chinese religion is encroach
ing on the Christian religion in San
Francisco is thus told by The Post OF
that CITY:
at may be instructive to those who
imagine that Christianity can conquer
B lddhism among the Chinese here to be
informed of some Of the results of sucn
delusion. The building in which the
First Congregational Church held its
meetings is now Chinese Joss-honse
The old colored Methodist church build
ing is in possession of the Chinese The
second Congregational Church was com
PEELED to change its location through be-
ing surrounded by the Chinese The ia.
nous old Unitarian church, in which the
inspired utterances of S arr King used
to resound, had to succumb to the en-
croachments of the Chinese. and it is
only a qu' stion of time when the First
Presbyterian church will become Chi
nese temple,as it cannot exist rs Chris
tian chulc owing to the surroundings OF
the Chinese"

What the Democrats ASK.

The other night, Speaker Randall put
into nutshell, as it we're, what the d mo-
Gratis ask, in the following words:
1--WE ask but little, but the principle in
volved is great We ask tina, all through
the country the right of suffrage shall be
exercised by freedom without the inter-
vention of the army. Weask that intel
ligence and notignorance shall in future
prevail in the jury box, and that all test
oaths and other obnoxious distinctions
shall be forever wiped out. We ask that
the control now exercised by the Federal
Government, under law which premits
the appointment of partisan Supelvi sors
OF election. shall and must cease, for they
are only employed for the purpose o de
priving citizens of their dearest rgit,
the right of suffrage"

Soldiers Homestead Entries Upon
the Public Lands--DecisiOn OF the
Secretary of the Interior.
10 the case of General JEFF. C. Davs
who applied to enter upon a homestead
under section 2,304, 3 305, 2.306 and
2 30S of the Revised Statutes, which we're
some time since submitted to the Secre-
tary OF the Interior, that officer has deci-
ded that at least one . ear of actual resi-
dence on the land is necessary, and there
fore declined 10 permit General Davis to
make entry without settlement.
Section :, ,304 authorizes houorably dis
charged soldiers, sailors and MARINES
who have remained loyal 20 make homo
s.ead entries upon the public lands, and
section 2,305 permits the time of service
in the army or navy to be deducted from
the time otherwise required under the
law to perfect title-i. e.. five years
actual residence-but no patent shall is
sue to any homestead settler who has not
resided upon, improved and cultivated
his homestead fo- period Of at least one
year after he shall have commenced his
improvements.
Section 2,30S says:-.W Where a party
at the date of his entry OF a tract of land
under the homestead laws or subst quent
thereto was actually enlisted and employ
ed in the army or navy of the United
States, his services therein shall. in the
administration of such homestead laws,
he construed to be equivalent, to all in
intents and purposes, to residence for
the same length OF tine upon the trac,
so entered" 1t was un ler this section
that the application to enter was made as
one OF a large class entitled to entry upon
a literal construction Of the section; but
the Secretary holds that the act must be
construed as whole and that the require.
ment in section 2,305 of one years resi-
dence upon the lands applies equally to
those who have been honorably dischar
ged, and sustains the action of the local
land office in refusing the application to
enter the 160 acres.

EWhen Algeria was first colonized

Fighting for Position.

Both sides have been fighting for po-
sition, looking entirely to the Presiden
tial Contest next year. The Republicans
sought to revive the sectional issue, and
went back quarter of century to gal
vanize the dead and buried politics OF
that period, ss If there was no question
of interest for the suffering millions OF
this day worthy to attract the attention
Of Congress. They failed, and failure
at such time and under such ci'cum
stances, after forcing the fight, is not o
good beginning for the Presidency in
1880.

THE NEGRO EXODUS.
DEP CONDITION OF
THE EMTGRANTS.
Heavy Burden For Kansas.

LEvENwoRTH, Kan April 9.-SeveEty
OF the colored emigrants in camp at
Wyandotte crossed The river to Missouri
this morning and are seeking employment
in Kansas City. The funds raised at
Cincinnati and other places for ,he bene-
fit, fihe emierants have been used for
them at 81. Louis. supplying the destitute
at the point with provisions and furnish
ing them transportation further vest. NJ
aid from abroad has been received for
those now in Kansas, though many of
iht m are in very destitute circumstances
and are living from day to day upon the
contributions Of the people in the vicinity.
We have had cold rain for the last three
days and a severe wind now blowing
from the nor Invest giv,s these halt clad
and poorly sheltered creatures q touch of
our hospitality by no means agreeable.
As they shiver around their little fires of
sticks and driftwood or huddle together
in corners under their ragged blankets
they present pi,iable spectacle. and one
that appeals louder than words TO the
sympathies and charity of the observer.
INTENTION OF TIE MIGRANTS.
One of the most int, lligent among
them, who was interviewed this morning,
stated that II was not the intention of
any of them to remain permanently in the
towns They oil desire to 90 out on 10
the prairie and make claims for them.
srlves and open farms, bat have not def
mite ideas of how this is to be accomplish
ed without funds, but until they can get
claims Of their own they desire to find
employment as farm hands.
MORE COMING.
Two other detachments are on the way
between St. Louis and this point, and
will be landed at L,avenworth and Wy
andotte. Tuose who arrived In the last
lot report that all the other negroes in
the vicinities from which they come are
preparing TO leave, and may be expected
here just as fast as they eau get the steam
boats to bring them.
CAUSE OF TIE MOVEMENT.
The leaders among them ascribe the
exodus chiefly to political causes. while
a great many don't seem 10 know why
they came out. They say that others
were coming and they followed the crowd.
The stori,s alb ,ut sharpers trying 10
q ece them of what little money they
have or Of the people trying to prevent
them from landing or threatening to drive
them ont, are all untrue. There is not
money enough among them to make
them d, 81. able game for sharpers, and
the Kansas people have treated them
with kindness. They have done and are
still doing all they cal to help them and
mike them as comfortable as possible
under the circums, ,ances, but it is heavy
burden and one that the rest of the coun
try ought to help to bear.
