The Chinese Problem.
Especial to the RECORD UNIoN.J
WASHINGTON, March 26th.-Representa-
tive Page has prepared, and will offer tor
adoption at the first opportunity. the follow
ing resolution. 1t is intended to emphasize
the fact that nothing whatever has been &C.
complished in the line of negotiation re-
ferred to-:
WHEREAS, 1t is asserted in the public prints that
under instruction from the Department of State a
treaty has been negotiated between the Govern
ments of the United States and China, modifying
what is known the Burlingame Treaty; therefore,
Resolved by the House OF Representatives, That
the Secretary of State be requested to furnish to
this House, if not Incompatible with the public in
teIests copies of such Instructions together with
any proposition bearing upon the subject OF said
treaty modification, made on the one side by the
Government of the United States, and on the other
by that Of China, through the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of each country.
The Post to-day contains the following edi-
torial, which is especially quotable in view OF
the earnest support uniformly given by this
journal to the restriction of Chinese immi-
grafton: The Supreme Court of the United
States will in time be called on to decide
whether the California law forbidding corpo-
rations to employ Chinese is constitutional OF
otherwise. There ought to be no doubt as to
what the decision will be. Undesirable as the
Chinese are, as much as the American people
may desire to be rid of them, it will not do to
admit that a Legislature may direct a corpo-
ration as to whom it shall or shall not employ.
Such a principle would reach quite too far.
Under its operation Legislature could turn
out of employment any class of people-lrish,
German, French, negroes, or any Others
against whom it might desire to launch bolt
of wrath. 1t would destroy the right of con.
tract, and work Unreasonable evil Oppose
ton to the Chinese must not run in the
Kearney rut. There are lawful and proper
methods OF abating the grievance which at
fects the Pacific slope. The cutting off Of
cues and denying the right to work for a
living are not such reform methods as can be
approved by intelligent people.

Efforts in Behalf OF Paymaster spaIding.
WASHINGTON, March 26th.-Judge J. ID.
Latimer is in Washington to try to get Pay
master Spalding restored to the service. He
was suspended on account of his being con-
nected with the transactions of his Clerk,
George M. Pinney, by signing blank vouch-
ers, etc. Pinney having been acquitted by
the civil Courts, and Spalding having done no
more than other Paymasters had done previ
ously, it is claimed that he should be relieved
from suspension. 1t is also asserted that if
the law had allowed him to testify in his own
behalf upon his trial las the subsequently en-
acted statutes now permit in similar cases)
the result would have been different.
