white men, who will not and cannot
endure the degradation of competition
with servils labor. Chinese labor is,
therefore, substituted for the labor of free
white men, and the State is afflicted
with quasi slave system, under which
the Chinese population supplants white
American citizens, and drives them to
other fields or to starvation.
The necessary breviy of this memorial
forbIds the further enlargem snt OF facts
and reasons for the almost universal hos
tility il California to thier immigration.
We beg the earnest attention of the
Government at Washington to this sub
ject, fraught with immense interest TO us,
and, as we believe, to the whole people Of
the Uated States. Whatever the State
of California may lawfully do 10 abate
or mitigate this evil, it has resolved to do,
declaring, however, our settled determ ma
ton to avoid all conflict with the national
authority, and to limit our action to the
exercise Of the police power Of the State.
We ask most earnestly and respectfully
OF the Congress Of the United States,
such prohibitory legislation, as will
effectually prevent the further immi-
grafton of Chinese coolies or laborers
TO the ports OF the coast.

EDIsON,s C0URTSHIP

it lacks the roseate tinge Of romance, IL
/ lnstrates the mans faculty Of going TO
the heart of tn in rs with the smallest pos
sible amount of circum location. When

machines, with a view to testing their ca

young person who attended TO her WORK
and never raised her eyes TO the incipient
genius, One day Edison stood observing
her as she drove down one key after
another with her plump fingers, until,
growing nervous under his prolonged
stare, she dropped her hands idly in her
lap and looked up heplessy into his face.
A genial smile, such as irreversnt para
graph ists have referred to as "the Edison
grin, )" ovsrspread Edison s face, and he,
presently inquired rather abruptly:
"What you think Of me, little girl?
Do you like me?''
"why, Mr.. Edison, you frighten me I
that isl"
Don't be in hurry about telling nae.
Il doesn t matter much, unless you would

The young woman was disposed to

"Oh, l mean it. Dent be in rush

mother about it, and let me know soon

Edison's shop was at Newark in those
days, and one night friend Of his en-

Union Telegraph Company in New York
returning homo by the last train, saw n
light in EdisOn's private laboratory, and
climed the dingy stairs to find his friend
in one of his Characteristic stupOrs, half
awake and half doing, over ssne intri-
cate point in electrical science which was
battling him.
"Hello, Toni" cried tho visitor, cheer

"What time is it7' inquired Edison,
sleepily rubbing his eyes and stretching
like lion suddenly aroused.

Marriage was an old story with him

SOME OF THE REASONS.

SOME OF THE REASONS.
Among the many reasons for our oppo-
siton TO Chinese immigration, all of
which cannot be stated in e brief memo
rial We submit the following
First-The country being now stocked
with vigorous, progressive and highly
civilized people, there is no need of imm.
grafton, for the increase OF our population,
certainly not OF ths immigration OF a
non assim lstivs and alien raco.
Second-That considering the character
of Chinese immigrants in respect to their
habits and modes of life and physical
peculiarities, this immigration operates as
a substitution OF Chinese for white men of
the Caucasian race, and not as an addi-
tion to our population the question
being: Shall the Chinese ultimately
occupy the country, or shall it be held for
the homes of men OF the Caucasian racer
Third-There is danger of an immense
increase OF Chinese immigrants in the
near future. The effect OF the igmine now
unhappily prevailing in the northern
provinces of China is sure to cause a
migration Of greater proportions than
any known in the history of the human
race. The fear of hunger will drive the
survivors of this calamity forth in prodi
gious numbers, in quest Of food, eastward, :,
because there is no other outlet and Cali
fcrnia offers the most fruitful field for THAR
sustensnce. The Spectators in Chinese
labor will, il permitted, seize the oppor-
tunitY to augment their fortunes by the
importatons Of these hungry driven
creatures into our ports This invasion is
to be dreaded by us more than hostile
invasion by armed man, for upon the first
note of alarm from such cause, the
nation would hasten to our rescue and
defense.
Fourth-The Chinese bring with them
habits and customs the NEST vicious and
demoralizing. They are scornful OF our
laws and Institutions. They establish
their own tribunals for the redress of
wrongs and injuries amoRg themselves,
independent Of our courts, and subject
victims of such tribunals to secret pun
ishment, the most barsarous and terrible.
In our cities they live crowded and herded
together like beasts, generating the most
dangerous diseases. They introduce the
ancient and infectious and inourable NAL
ady called leprosy, the germs OF which
when once distributed can never be
eracieated, but fasten themselves upon
the people as an eternal consuming rot
They poison our youth IN both mind and
body. They build no homes. They are
generally destitute Of moral principle
They are incapable OF patriotism, and
utterly unfit tor American citizenship.
Their existence here in great mum bers is a
perpetual menace to republican institu-
lions a source Of constant irritation and
danger to the public peace.
The system Of labor which results from
their presence is n system which includes
all OF nearly all the vices Of slavery.
without the conservative influence Incl
dent e the domestic or paterna relation
between master and slave. 1t degrades
labor TO the standard of mere brute ener
gy, and this includes the labor Of free

Judge HIack ON the RIves Outrage.

from the Washington Correspondent of the New
Orleans Times.I
"No case since the bred Scott decision
has so much depending on it as that writ OF
mandamus asked for by the Governor OF
Virginia against Judge Riyes. OF the United
States District Court Of that State" said 4
great Democratic lawyer, once attorney
general, to The Illness correspondent to-
night. 81 was ANNOUNCEMENT when that
bred Scott decision was rendered" lie con-
tinued, land I remember well what an
excitement there was all over the country.
The rights Of the States are now being
tested. Virginia has had two criminals,
convicted under the law Of the State, taken
from her custody by Federal judge, who
has committed a high crime by this act. 1t
is an exercise of power entirely unwarrant-
able, and is violation OF the rights OF Vir-
ginia to execute her laws in her own proper
way" 49, .-s -- if

That CoMPROMIsE.-Senator BAYARD is
reported to be in favor OF compromise on
the questions pending between the Presi-
dent and Congress. On the same subject
the Washington correspondent OF the New
York Herald writes:
elf the Democrats were good tempered
and thoroughly informed, aud il they had
wit enough 10 let the supervisors law STAND,
and in a well-conducted debate show up the
evils and abuses Of the deputy-marshals'
law, it would be possible for them to make
the Republicans ashamed OF II, and ready,
mt least. to SO modify ADD guard it as to make
it fair" J..
That Is just what the Democrats will do
il they are governed by the sensible men OF
the party rather than by the fools whose ut
most ambition it is to make sensation.

In a meeting at Stafford Courthouse on
Monday last General FITz. LEE proposed to
expel the Ieadiusters from the Conservative
party, and that the meeting bya vote of
three to one defeated the motion. That was
surely singular motion. The real readjust-

been adopted. However. we shall hear
