Our legislature, while supporting 'tagricul- tural hoss trots'' with wonderful unanimity, have never given much assistance to the Wal nut Hill Asylum for Inebrlates As a conse- quence the prices charged there are so high as to practically deprive those of it's help who need it most A remarkable illustration of this fact has come to light in the Cogswell matter, says the Hartford Times. Finding thsthe was running himselfby drink, hisfriends had tried to get him into this Asylum, but could only agree to pay s a week, which the management could not accept, the price charged there being dollar day. The re- suit has been the atrocious murders of Sunday night of last week.

stitution was adopted. There is out one news paper prophet in America, the New York Her. aid, and all it's predictions go by contraries.
 Peru has s'worsened" even our doleful North American experience in premature railroad building. It has one line which cost $32, ,OOO,- GOO, and which runs but one train a week, Of- ten with single passenger. The company lost money till they sent up for Naugatuck ticket agent who put up fares to $36, 600 per mile, forthwith, and now they "divide' five per cent. semi-annually.
 There is a capital provision in the new Mas sachusetts law making the sellers of liquor re- spOnsible in a civil action for the damage it oc- casions. This clause provides that no licenses shall be hereafter granted without the written consent of the owner of the building where the liquor is to be sold. It will prove rather awk- ward law for temperance landlords.
 Immigration is again on the increase The tyranny of Bismark is driving Germans to America much as the tyranny of Charles I, Laud and Strafford, was sending over so many Englshmen two centuries and half ago. The papers notice one important feature: that the emigration is very largely Protestant indeed the total emigration to this country since 1S47 has brought us 2,973. 769 Protestants to 2, 6s9,- OSO Catholics. Besides other property, the off, ficials estimate that these emigrants have brought us near four hundred millions in coin.
 The Charleston Courier notices a local emil grafton of colored men from other countries in South Carolina to Beaufort, 'the celored coun- ty." Over 800 negroes have recently left the bull -dozed counties, and moved into Beaufort, designing apparently to consolidate their pow CT in that part of the state. In spite of the crowd of new corners, all are reported at work, and that paper justly considers it'a somewhat singular fact that there has been less lawless- ness and violence in Beaufort county since 1876 than in any other county in the State"

The announcement of the strike to come of in July is movement that may retard the re- vivai of business. It can hardly take effect. The trades unions have done little dur ing the recent season of depression. Now that there seems favorable turn, at last, they seize the opportunity to urge restoration of their old power. We cannot see how it can have that effect. Manufacturing is now but barely paying expenses. The capital invested lies almost unproductive. But for the hope of future improvement, large proportion of our factories would shut down at once. A strike in such times may stop work, but we do not see how it can advance wages.

Afr. EditOr.-The recent death of Rev. Franklin Tuxbury, pastor of the Congrega- tienal church in Watertown, is loss not only to that community, but to the public at large. It has seemed to me that some notice should be taken of so excellent and promising man by some one who knew him in his earlier years, and can speak from long acquaintance with his character and career. That it is my privilege to dc. I was intimately associated with him in studies preparatory to entering college. It was at Phillips Exeter Academy, N. H., that in a two years course of student life, I first learned to be interested in, and then to admire and love the gentle and genlal lad who soon found his way to the respect and esteem of all his academical fellows. In the >"Golden Branch Society,"" a privileged literary and debating club in that institution, he distinguished himself as facile writer and ready debater As scholar his attainments were more than respectable, while in the tone of his moral character he was always pro- nounced for ''whatsoever things are lovely, and of gool report"

LONDON, August 2lst.-The fail

will entail largely increased con-

Perfectly reliable dispatches have

Statesman from Warrens, l. t.,
dated August 18th, which states
that on the evening of the day pre-

Raines and James Edwards were
killed and Albert Weber badly
wounded. Seven other settlers es-

revolvers, and two hundred rounds

The number OF the Indians was not

EUREKA, August 21st.-9 p. M
A portion of the Sheriff's posse has
Just returned from the scene of the
Fish Creek fight. They corrobo-
rate the statement before tele-
graphed that the coal burners
opened the fight by firing the first
shot. There were nine of the posse
against one hundred and ten coal
burners. Not one-half Of the coal
burners were armed. After the
first volley from the officers the ri
oters fled precipitately. Three OF
them were killed outright and two
so badly wounded that they expired
in few hours. Fourteen prison.
ers were taken, but only three were
brought to town, as the rest were
found to be unarmed. Deputy
Sheriff Simpson was in the act of
serving warrant on one of the
ring-leaders when the conflict be-
gan. The officers claim that they
were in a close place and were COM
PEELED to fight or be killed, as there
was no chance for retreat. The ri
oters were met on the road three.
quarters of a mile from any coal
| camp. The officers do not believe
that there were any wounded. The
| remains of the five dead men have
Just arrived. There is a deep feel
ing among the italian residents OF
Eureka and the surrounding coun-
try, but it is not believed by cooler
heads that there will be any fur
ther bloodshed. The italian ac-
count of the tragedy and how il
was brought on has not yet been
made public.

WHILE on the question of labor
depressions we cannot forbear
breathing a fervent hope that,
when the ensuing election has
been determined one way or the
other, Californians will leave off
growling and agitating and trust
the adjustment of the questions
which engage the popular mind to
the representatives they will have
chosen. The people, irrespective
Of party, should force the profess
sional agitator to 60 to work at
some honest calling after the elec-
tion. Brawling and vociferating
around corners should be frowned
down. There are probably a
! dozen men in California to-day
who can make pretty good public
speech. There are at least sixty
thousand infatuated men who now
look upon themselves as born ora
tors. There are amongst us few
men Rho, with proper opportun-
ittss and experience, might be de.
veloped into statesmen. But yet
there are at least fifty thousand
sanRuine Californians of the male
gender who believe that the only
difference between themselves and
Bismarck is in the fact of lack OF
public appreciation. 1t will take
years and years to repair the evil
effects of this deplorable phase OF
our later politics. But we can al
least make beginning. A return
to our old prosperity and to our old
highly remunerated labor is at
least worth struggling for. We
should be willing to spoil the bad
brat tors and the worse statesmen to
get sniff of the good old times

Sherman anu Certain National
Banks.
NEW YORK, August st.-The
Times says: Our Washington dis.
patches this morning, confirm the
statement already published, that
banks which have subscribed for
the four per cent bonds have been
allowed special and very valuable
privileges with reference to these
bonds. Details of the original
statement are repeated and various
explanations which have been Of
fered, are denied on authority. 1t
Is evident that any claim on the
banks to retain money due for the
bonds, until it shall be needed by
the Government is an unfounded
one. The favors which have been
accorded are a trait of Sherman's
personal kindness, which we have
already stated appears to us excess
sive and prodigal.
Presidentiai specuiaiions.
New YORK, August 2Ist.-A
Times Philadelphia special gives a
careful review of the political situ.
alton as affected by the Grant
movement for the next Presidency.
There is very little sign of such ex-
treme opposition as was set on foot
by Schurz aud others at the New
York conference in 1876. Bristow's
friends will not lead such a move
ment. The chief anxiety of intel
ligent Republicans now is to pre-
vent the denomination being in
considerably carried by n "boom,u
and this anxiety is widespread.
There are no party men of promi-
nence willing to be classified as de-
termined not to vote for Grant
should he be duly made a candi-
date. or all those who were
against the machine in 1876, there
seems to be few or none with the
harness on. Some of them are fa-
voring Washburne quietly, as on
the whole, the strongest and most
satisfactory selection possible, and
1t may be added, that there are at
least two Republican papers in this
city quite eager to herald his nomi-
nation, while others are adding
their weight to a movement in fa-
vor of Sherman, or because they
think him more available than
anybody else in view to pierce the
front of the Grant boom.

the United States, it is found nee.
essary to appoint a Congressional
Committee to inquire into the
causes of the depression in labor
the event is worthy of note. The
truth is that it is q long time since,
In the history of the world, such a
period of universal distress has
been chronicled as has character
lied the past six years. A very Sc
rious monetary disturbance in
Austria heralded our great panic of
1878. The probability is that the
proximate cause of this panic was
the report Of the committee of Ger
man capitalists which was sent out
to the United States in 1872 to re-
port upon the condition of the
Northern Pacific Railway. That
report was singularly clear, candid
and honest. These German gentle
men had been feted to their hearts
content. Excursions were organ
lied in their honor of which Vice.
President Colfax was the head, yet
they saw things exactly as they
were, divested of the glamour
thrown around Jay Cookies project
by high official cappers. The fail
ure of J. Cooke followed, in conse.
quence of their report, with the re-
suit of an appalling series of other
failures. Hard times in England,
Germany and Russia added to the
pressure. The whole globe was
suffering from over production. To
take one instance out of many, the
mills which had been turning out
railway iron had stock on hand
sufficient to build five times the
miles of track required by the busi-
ness needs of the country. Railway
iron at once fell from $S5 ton to
$40, with no demand for it at the
latter figure. Labor depression is
a natural incident of such state of
things. When iron rails are dull
of sale at less than half the price |
which had prevailed few weeks
before, self-preservation calls upon
the manufacturer to shut down.
That is the only way in which he
can give value to the stock he al
ready has on hand. The men en-
ployed in manufacturing are con-
sequently thrown out of employ
ment, and labor is, as a matter of
course, depressed. Every other
branch of manufactures in the
United States, and, indeed, in the
whole world, for that matter, for
the whole world for ten years had
been indulging in the costly lux
ury OF reproduction, could be
taken up and similar state of
things be shown to have existed.
To stick to our text of iron and
steel rails, it is pleasant to know
that their manufacture has re-
ceived a marked i'm mpetus of late,
from the legitimate demand of the
business interests of the country.
1t is reasonable to infer-indeed,
we are not left to inference, for it is
q fact - that numerous other
branches of manufactures are be-
ginning to pick up. Already busi-
ness of every kind is, in the United
States, responding to very strong
stimulus. With the revival of
business the depression of labor
will take care of itself, without re-
gard to Congressional Committees.
We have had to pass through a
sort of national Slough of Despond,
and it is a pleasant duty of the
journalist to hail the numerous
signs which show that the feet of
our people are already on the
pleasant uplands beyond.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-08-22

ELSEWHERE we speak of the
general business depression of the
country. A short special chapter
should be devoted to the question
as 1t exists in California to-day.
First, as Congressional Commit
tee of Investigation is within reach
of our voice, we will call their at
tention to the Chinese curse.
Should they return to the East
and fail to report that much of the
labor depression which exists In
California is due to the presence
here of Cinnamon in hundreds of
thousands they will simply ap-
prove themselves either stupid or
dishonest, or both. The Mongolian
evil rises above stock gambling,
above communistic agitation and
above the aggressions of corpora
tions. 1t is simply an incubus,
and it rides this State like night
mare. Had no single Chinaman
ever put his foot in California the
seven hundred miles of territory
which stretch from the Mexican to
the Oregon line would be the rich
est region ever known on earth.
At least five hundred million dol
lars would now be doing their be-
neficent office amongst our people
that are now irrevocably lost, for
that is small statement of the
amount Of money which has been
sent out of California by the Chi
nese during the past thirty years,
over and above what similar
number of white people would have
sent away. In addition, the eau.
casians would now be with us and
of us, bone of our bone aud flesh of
our flesh. They would have helped
to build the myriad school houses
and churches that a population of
two millions Of people would have
required, for there would have been
two millions of Californians and
more by this time. China, which
has never benefited single nation
of the globe, has done much to re-
tard the most wonderful portion of
it; and the hordes the Flowery
Kingdom has sent over here have
come within q fraction of nullify-
ing in California the bounteous
gifts OF the Creator.
