Further Statements Relative to the Acc

DEXTER, May 10. 1t appears from the
Bank records that Whcelcr's bonds, alluded
to in late despatch, were held BY the bank
as security for moneys advanced, so Barron
could not have used them so make up his de-
ticiency.
The late assertions about the connection of
Straw with the Norris mortgage, are untrue
The bank had Il mortgage claim long time
prior to Nov, 1871, on the Norris property,
which amounted to $500 or $500 only. ON
the 4th day of May, 1878 this claim was as
signed to Howe, IIigbee < Co., of Boston, ID.
H. Straw acting as attorney for one Chaplin

pear on the bank books in connection with

founded by any process Of reasoning.

GEN. GRANT.
Discussion Of the Emigration Question
with the Chinese.

NEW York, May 10. a Penang letter
says Gen. Grant was the recipient of an adj
dress by Chinese merchants there, referring
TO the recent bill prohibiting immigration of
Chinese to America. They hoped upon his
return he would endeavor to have the meas
ure abrogated
Grant stated he was only one citizen and
had no more power in the councils of the ma
ton than any other.
In all questions like this, there were dema-
gogues Who in America. as in other coun-
tries, pander to prejudiccs against race or ma
tionality, and favor any measure Of oppres-
sion that might advance their political inter
ests' There was good deal of antipathy
toward other races in the United States, but
il was mostly demagoguery and did not rep
resent the better feeling of the country.
In this question of Chinese emigration he
said there was something to be said in favor
of those who advocated the bill limiting emf
grafton to America
When young officer in the army, the Gen
eral said he spent some time in California
and saw something of the beginning of Chi
nese emigration, and heard then the objec-
ton to that emigration on the part of good
people. The settlement of California was
the beginning of this whole agitation. He
remembered the objections he then heard to
Chinese emigration. twas not to the Chi
nese coming to the L. s, but to his coming
in a condition of slavery.
He intended when he arrived in China to
look into the question. He said
"Our country has been through great war
to extinguish slavery and its people would
oppose the immigration of slaves.
This. in brief, was the objection to Chinese
emigration by Americans. who had no mani
fest feeling towards the Chinese people, and
who would extend to them, if thes chose to
make their home in the L. s., the welcome
they extend to the rest of the world
