republican con01tOns, ana SO, tnertIoTe
must be ~antagonistic to the preamble O
the Constitution, which declares that the
Government designed to establish justice
promote tranquility and maintain the gen
eral welfare. Some attention has been
called to the fact that recently the Califor-
mia Constitutional Convention, under Dem
o%cratic inspiration, rejected the proposed
section to the bill of Rights, speaking of
the country as a Nation, and declaring Sc
cession to he always unlawful. 1t is very
well understood that a~ntagonism to the
Chinese in California has been industri-
ously used to foment disaffection to the
general Government, and create a bitter
degree of sectional hostility, based upon
Eastern indifference to the complaint made
of Mongolian competition.
Weeds Testimony Before the Potter
Committee.
NEW YORK, February G.
The World says Of Weeds testimony be-
fore the Potter Committee yesterday while
investigating the cipher dispatches: Weeds
account of his own proceedings is perfectly
straightforward, and there is evidently
nothing about them OF which he is at all
ashamed. He found when he went to
! South Carolina that Mr.. Tllden had I'M
| doubtedly carried the State, and that its
vote would be counted for him unless an
untruth was certified to by the Returning
Board. 1t came naturally into the mind
of Weed, as a practical politician, that the
best way this calamity could be averted
would be to hire them to certify to the
truth. His negotiations were brought to
| nothing by Mr.. Tilden's refusal to give
him money, though Pelton helped hin all
he could.
The Sun is silent, and the opinions of
the Republican journals can be easily i'm
agined.
The Reason for Wishing to Abolish
the Carson Mint.
New YORK, February 6.
A Washington correspondent of the
| Commercial Bulletin" here states that
the reason given to him by secretary Sher-
| man for wanting to abolish the Carson
mint, was that silver was wanted East in
manufactures. Mr.. Jones urged the duty
of the Secretary to coin silver as fast as
convenient, and issue certificates against
it, dollar for dollar. He claimed that we
can use it freely in the shape of certificates,
without doing violence to any imaginary
international money standard, and there is
no excuse for Sherman not embracing the
present opportunity to issue silver %certifi-
Gates.
Chinese Com petition On the Ocean.
New YORK, February G..
The fact that twelve steamers, of 400
tons each, owned, oficered and managed
by Chinese, ply along the Chinese coast, and
that the line is successfully managed,
strengthens the opinion in commercial
circles that the maritime nations must ex-
pect Chinese competition on the high seas.
Thirty steamers are u by the China
Merchants Steamship Company, whose
manager is a Chinaman. The opinion is
expressed that the first to feel the COMPETE
ton would be the fleet of ships which still
find profitable employment in the Califor-
MIA grain trade, under the American flag.
