The telegraphic news received from San
Francisco Yesterday is of a somewhat alarm.
ing character, but though it is well for Gen,
eral Mcdowell to take all the precautionary
measures necessary to secure the observance
of law and order, it is sincerely TO be hoped
that no occasion will arise for their violent
enforcement. The agitation is one OF the
evil consequence of Chinese immigration,
vet there is reason to believe that
should bloodshed ensue it will be directly
attributable to that blatant deunagogue,
Denis kearney, who, it is safe to say, IS
really the bitterest enemy the poorer classes
of California have to contend with. Ever
since the newspapers lifted him into promi-
hence by reporting his b~lackguard speeches
and editorially discussing his ~utterances, his
notoriety and power lave been constantly
increasing, and now that he begins to assert
his authority and to incite his followers to
deeds Of violence, the officers of the law.
tacitly concading themselves to be powerIess,
have called upon the military to hold them
selves in readiness to afford assistance should
the civil power be Insufficient to preserve peace.
1t is Il sad commentary on our boosted
civilization when the municipal officers of a
great city like San Francisco acknowledge
their inability to enforce law by calling upon
the military arm of the government for aid in
suppresSing a braggart like Denis kearney,
and it is certainly humilitating to an -Ameri-
can citizen to realize that one hundred and
seventy-fve tAo"sand people are cowcd and
intimated by a fellow of his stripe. His apol-
ogists claim that he is justified in making his
violent threats against the moneyed men of
that city because they persist in employing
Chinese in violation of the constitutional law
Of the State. As far as public corporations
are concerned, it is true that they are denied
the right to employ M0nsnlian labor, but il
kearney and his gang, who in reality do not
represent the honest workingmen of the
State, feel aggrieved at the disobedience to law
of which they claim the capitalists are
guilty. they have ample opportunity
to secu g redress in the courts, and have
neither OCCASION nor excuse to injure the bust
ness prosperity of San Francisco and staonate
the industrial interests of the entire State
by proclaimlng their intention to inauguratc
"a period of disorder and bloodshed. Yet this
Is what they are now doing. Kearney is trying
to make a St. Petersburg of the Golden City,
and is seeking to inspire terror by placarding
his threats, as the dispatches inform lis, in
prominent places about the city, warning the
employers of Chinese to dssist from that
practice and vaguely limiting at the terrible
consequences in the event OF their refusal.

would make a better corpse. The kearney
plan for getting rid of the great Chinese evil
is the very worst that could oe adopted.

Ute Treaty.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Tie President
sent to the Senate to-day the message trans
hitting the report from the Secretary of the
Interior which contained the agreement sign
ed by the chiefs and head men of the Ute
Indians now in Washington. The stipula-
tions of the agreement appear to the President
80 reasonable and just and objects to be ac-
complished by its execution so eminently de-
sirable to both whites and Indians that it has
his cordial approval and he earnestly recon-
mends it to Congress for favorable considera-
ton and appropriate action.

Few appreciate the value of precious
metal mining to all other industries. 1t is a
common saying among railroad men in the
West, that one good mine is better for them
than a town. The miEe produces only money,
and consumes, directly or indirectly, almost
every necessity of lite. Even a casual glance
at this patent fact, reveals the main cause of
the civilization of a sterile and most forbid
dill g, (but rich in gold and silver) mountain
region, equal in extent to half of Europe, and
which a quarter of a century since, was a
Wilderness, occupied by ferOcious animals,
and more terocious savages.'-NeW York

A Misrepresentation.

The real oftense of Chinatown is, that they
are willing to work for moderate wages
Ne,c York Herald.
The above statement is a cold-biooded,
bare-taced, clean-cut malicious falshood made
out of whole cloth and in utter Ignorance of
the facts. The oflense of Chinatown is that
it is a plague spot, a foul blot OH the face of a
fair city, a slum besides which the Five
Point of New York i'll its worst days were a
paradise. The ofiense of the Cinnamon is
not that they are willing TO work for moder-
ate, but for starvation wages. They accept a
pittance for their labor that would degrade

Tho vast auditorium of the Congregational

last evening. The programme was n worry good
one, aud every number on il was finely rem
derod particularly the Maid of Athens"
which was sung by Mr.. TOcdt in such an ex-
trcnely fine manner as to demand an onthu-
slastlc encore, which was cordially responded
to. Mr.. Toedt possesses fine tenor voice,
which he uses In an easy and to his heaI ers In
very delightful manner. "rho Distant
Shore" was sung by Mr., w. c. Baird in 4 fine
voice, such as is too seldom heard in this city.
Miss Mimic Evan, of this city, sang "In
Questo Sempice" in her well.known soprano
voice. This young lady is fast climbing the
ladder of fame, and ere long, in our opinion,
she will arrive at tho top round, q position
which she will occupy with great credit 10
herself and the city OF which she Is proud
representative. Miss Nannio Louise Hart,
who possesses a mezzo.soprano voice OF rare
quality and finely cultivated, rendered her
solos in manner that gave universal satlslac-
ton. Tho organ parts by Professor Bischoh'
were given in his well-known mastery man
ner Taking 1t altogether, the whole concert
