JOHN II. BURKE, of San Francisco, has com.
planned to the board of equalization that the
Fix Chinese companies aro not properly assess
ed. He claims that all, or nearly all, of the
Chinese in the United States, British Columbia
and the Sandwich islands are contracted for M
slaves or scrfs; and furthermore, that the Chi
neso coming 10 this country become indebted
10 one or the other of said companies and their
bodies are held responsible for payment; that
the said six companies hold absolute control
over the lives and liberties of the Chinese, and
execute the DEGREES Of their own private courts
TO the exclusion Of the constituted authorities;
that they have thereby built up and maintain
cd an independent government, and are at war
with the interests and laws Of the people of
California. He states that in 1873 the six CON-
panies controlled $4,000 Chinese, and ut pre-
sent 223, 900, and that the obligations OF these
Chinese are In the nature of solvent credits
held by the six companies, and should be 30 as-
sessed under tho law. The complainant then
asks that the personal assessment roll of the six
companies DO raised TO go, 800, 900. He assesses
each company in the following amounts: Sam

Ar the meeting Of the German American
teachers in Newark the other day, Director II.
Won der Heide read an interesting paper adj
wishing the abolition, in this country at least, Of
the present German alphabet, both in writing
and printing, and the substitution Of the Roman
letters. He pointed out the consequent adyan-
tages i'll the Tirnpllfication Of the language and
the saving Of timc aud added that it was
wrong in this country to compel the children to
learn the two alphabets, while they could study
the German language az well with the Roman
letters. He referred to the fact that this change
in the alphabet has already many friends in
Germany, and hoped to seo the day when one
alphabet will Do in use all over the world. Tho
association adopted resolutions acknowledging
the necessity Of the change, and asking the CO.
operation Of the German Journalistic convention
and that Of the convention Of the German

The New York Republican Convention
seems to have proceeded with the perform
auce of its duties with unusual unity and
harmony of action The body was COM
posed of the best material of the party
throughout the State and what has been
done has been so iudiciously done that no
ground isleft for dissatisfaction and detection.
The sentiment of the convention was pro-
nounced for GRANT, and that too, evidently
without any second choice. The delegates
to the National Convention are unexcep-
tionable in point of character and political
integrity, and will represent the real senti-
ment of the State free from all trammel in
the way of instructions The delegation is
undoubtedly unit for GRANT, thus lead
ing off his boom with two of the
great States of the Nation in his
favor. There may be some little show Of
dissatisfaction on the part of chronic mall
contents, but that will soon pass away as
the canvass prOgresses-and when the grand
denouement at Chicago occurs, the hope and
prospect of victory at the ballot-box will
hush whatever of clamor aud discord may
be engendered in the primary action of tho
party, and it will move steadily on to q
certain triumph.

There is an era of good feeling springing

Gratis toward Uncle SAMMY. Not that they
are any more disposed to support his nomi-
nation than before, but they have hit upon
an expedient to Gatter his vanity by gra-
ciously rendering to him the privilege of
naming the man who shall occupy the shoes
he has confidently expected to wear ever
since his failure four years ago. These
keen, cunning chaps, who hope to reach
TILDEN's ear by any such nonsense, have
greatly mistaken the superficial measure
ment Of his auricular appendage They
will find that he has no ear for such ." fool
"ishing" as that. TILDEN has woven the
idea into the very texture of his selfish
heart that he is entitled to and must have
the Democratic nomination in June. His
future hopes, expectations and happiness
all depend upon his candidacy in the
opening contest. lie keeps before him

made and the suf'erings he has endured for

ward for this, and he will yield to no COM
promises of his own opportunities-mar
that. His sacrifices and suGerings are
treasured up in the storehouse of his dis
appointment as his capital in this cam
paign. No man, in his opinion, has been so
grievously abused by treacherous friends
and aggressive enemies as he. His plans
and ciphers have been laid bare by the
bungling of friends and the vigilance ofhis
enemies, and his reputation has been
stewed in the gravy of bitter cali

opinion that the strength of the eX-Presi-
dent is certainly not so great that his friends
can afford to take any chances to 90 into
canvass with him rs the candidate, except
with the party harmonious and united be-
hind him. In reply to such an intimation
the friends of General GRANT take the
square position, based upon accurate inlor-
nation gathered from all sections of the
country, that General GRANT has much
greater strength behind him than any can
didate uamcd for the Presidency, and hence
they feel encouraged to take all proper
chances connected with his candidacy.
They believe that no name mentioned, or
likely to be mentioned, can secure the en-
thusiasm and devotion that his name
will challenge, and that 10 other
name can afford better assurance of
united and harmonious action in tho
party during the canvass. The NUT
terings of soreheads and grumblers are
active now in the interest Of rival candi-
dates, but these bring no alarm with them.
