NEW YORK. May 10.
Advices from General Grant in April
represent a very anxious feeling through
out Asia respecting the restrictions on
Chinese immigration to America. Grants
response to the address OF Chinese mer-
chants at Peking, in which they ask him
to exert his powerful influence in their
behalf to advocate the removal Of those
restrictions, and thus restore intercourse
between the two nations to its former foot
ing. was . very decided remonstrance
against the contract system, which he de-
clared to be slavery. On that point, he
said, the Americans most naturally feel
strongly. II was in order to free one race
from slavery that we fought . long war.
After the sacrifices made during that war
to free the negro it could not be expected
that Americans would consent to a revival
OF another form Of slavery, in which the
Chinaman was the victim. He said this
was the objection on the part Of Ameri-
a to Chinese immigration. In other
respects they had none but the kindest
feelings toward the Chinese people, and
would extend to them, If they chose to
make their home with us, the welcome
they extended to the rest of the world. In
his address he does not once allude to the
prejudice against cheap labor, nor to the
peculiar sentiments Of California. He
doubted not, and 10 could doubt, that
in the end, nc matter what agitation might
for the time being effect At home, the
American people would treat the Chinese
with kindness and justice, and to the free
the asylum they offer to the rest Of the
world.

Novel Chinese Bill.
WAsHINGroN. May 10.
Senator Slater has prepared and intends
to introduce q very novel bill,
which, although apparently at variance
the stipulations Of the B%urlingame
is really, he says, drawn within the
strict letter Of that treaty, whose guaran-
tees both direct and indirect relate solely
to the rights Of travel and residence. He
that the right Of residence does
necessarily include unrestricted rights
to procure, in this country, the means of
maintaining its cost, and he therefore be-
Iieves he has discovered an effectnal mode
Of putting a stop to the Monaghan immi-
by legislation without a~brogating
any treaty. His new measure is not likely
to be regarded with much favor in Con-
but if his view proves to be correct
would DO no constitutional obstacle
TO State legislation OF precisely the same
The bill, at all events, is a leg
curiosity. It provides that after
July l, 1880 it shall not be lawful for any
