ERRONEOUS coScLUsIoNs.

1t is understood that efforts were made
by some persons to persuade the members
who visited the debris-devastated district
the other day that it was impracticable to
restrain the debris by any plans yet pro-
posed, and that consequently it would be
useless to do anything which did not in
volve the stopping of hydraulic mining al
together. Such representations are alto
gether misleading, and could only be made
either by such as did not understand the
subject, or such as desired to prevent all
legislation, to the end that litigation might
90 on indefinitely. The volume of debris
which has already been spread over the
country visited by the members is indeed
enormous, but it must be remembered that
it represents the accumulations of quar-
ter of century. 1t has been sent down
faster Of late years, it is true, but this is
because the filling up OF the river beds has
increased the grade and pitch. The build
ing OF the proposed dams would at once
hold back the heavier material, and the
water then flowing into the rivers, being
free from deposit, and being also confined
to its channels by levees below, would
scour out the river beds, reducing the
grade again, and restoring the original car
rying capacity of the streams. There is no
ground whatever for the supposition
that the methods of relief proposed
would not be thoroughly effectual.
They are, it must be remembered,
recommended by the best engineers
in the State, after full and careful inyesti-
cation. Is it to be imagined that gentle
men visiting the scene for the first time,
ignorant of the whole subject, dependent
for their ideas upon outside sugges-

WAsHIYGToS March 29.h.-The response of the
Secretary Of State to the Senate resolution calling
Tor information concerning action under the Spanish
Claims treaty Of 1877, referred to the Commit
tee Foreign Relations, with instructions from the
Senate.
Allison and Teller gave notice of amendments to
the Ute treaty bill. Ordered printed.
Coke said in view Of the important amendments
TO the Ute bill he would not ask a vote o it this
morning, but moved Its consideration to allow Teller
to speak upon it.
Cuekrell desired a consideration of the calendar,
Thurman the Geneva Award bill, and Mcpherson
the bill for Board of Survey and completion of
double.turreted monitors.
The calendar was taken up.
Kernan's bill for an international exhibition on
the anniversary of the recognition of American In

Thurman approved the plan.
Eaton, from the Committee on Appropriation,
reported, with amendments the immediate def

During an extended coloquy between Bowen,
Blaine and Thurman, the latter suddenly raised
his hand to his forehead and seemed about to fall.
He was helped into the cloak room, and thereupon
the subject was cropped, and the resolution for n
Board of Survey ON double turreted monitors was
amended and passed.

THE sANDLoTTERs.

On Sunday Kalloch delivered long
address in which he endeavored to defend
himself and his pals against the charge of
using incendiary language. 1t was a So
phistical and ingenious argument, but its
fatal defect lay in the ridiculous assump-
ton that he and his confederate dema-
gogues had at any time the least warrant
for their seditious and truculent harangues.
How utterly this man fails to understand
his own position and responsibilities may
be seen in his declaration that he had for
months past been begging Kearney to be
less violent in his language! Here, indeed,
is pretty spectacle. The Mayor of great
city, according to his own statement i'm
ploring foul-mouthed ruffian who has
daily disturbed the peace and melted to
violence, to moderate the rancor of his
tongue, instead of ordering the prompt
arrest of the scoundrel, and finging him
into jail. Indeed, it is one of the Pc
culiarities of this Sandlot movement that
its leaders do not seem to realize their own
responsibilities at all, but proceed upon
the theory that they have perfect right
to threaten the community as loudly and
as often as they please. This confusion of
thought is the natural outcome of that press
demagogism which from time to time has
given Fictitious weight to Kearneyism,
and has treated it as though the intern.
perate abuse of the Sandlots was sy
nonymous with decorous vindication
of the right of free speech. The San Fran.
cisco mob has thus been taught to believe
that free speech means incendiary speech,
whereas it means nothing of the kind and
so it is that the feeble attempts which
have been made to punish Kearney and
Cannon have been denounced as in the line
OF an attack upon free speech. Kearney at
his last Sandlot meeting offered a set of
resolutions of highly characteristic kind,
the pnrport of which was that if the Citi-
zens' Protective Union would give the
election to the Sandlots, and so enable the
latter to frame and control the city govern
ment, the agitation would cease 90 for want
"of fuel. " The proposition was as fatuous
as anything that ever emanated from the
Sandlots, and the resolutions were as re-
markable for their amazing grammatical
composition as for the absurdities they en-
bodied. They were, however, adopted as
matter of course. To-day will show
whether Kearneyism is to have a new lease
Of life, or is to approach its dissolution !;
but assuredly if it is not checked by the
votes of the law and order party at this
election the situation will be worse than it
has ever been.

TIE HARD TIMES COMMITTEE.

Majority and minority reports have
now been made by the hard times COM
mittee, though it is not clear what reason
for minority report existed, inasmuch as
both reports take practically the same
ground on the Chinese question. Both re-
ports condemn unlimited Chinese immigra-
ton, and both agree that white labor is
seriously handicapped in the race of life by
such competition. The majority report
recommends practical legislation moreover,
and the general tone OF both is such that
Congress can hardly ignore the recon-

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
Views Of the Minority of the Hard
Times" House Committee.
DELAYED telegram


WASHINGTON, March 27th-The minor
ity report of Representatives Sherwin of
Illinois and Martin of North Carolina, two
members of Congressman Hendrick B.
Wright's select committee appointed to in
quire into the causes of the depression of
business and labor, has been printed They
think that the evidence taken in California
discloses severe depression of labor and
business there, but they cannot assent to
all the statements and conclusions of the
majority report. They cannot agree with
them in ascribing the depression which ex-
lists entirely to the presence of the Chinese.
In their opinion other causes have operated
to bring about that state of things. They
say F: "The evidence shows that after the
discovery of gold in California all kinds of
business was unnaturally stimulated.
Immense public works were under
construction for several years, caus-
ing an unusual demand for labor.
Prices of all kinds, including that of labor,
were abnormally high, and speculation
and expectations of making and securing
fortunes without work became common
among all classes of people. These things
had created a state of business and society
ill-prepared to Withstand the changes
caused by cessation of the great improve
ments and the diminished extent of their
mining operations, which afterward took
place. Business and labor have not yet
adjusted themselves to the changed condi-
ton Of affairs, and until they have done
so the depression must OF necessity exist,
and no legislation can prevent it. The
undersigned also think that, with business
depressed and many laborers out of en-
ployment, the presence of large colony
of Chinese among them who labor for
greatly reduced wages, and who have in
vaded the ranks of skilled and unskilled
labor alike, and who also carry on farming
and many branches of manufacture and
trade, has increased and aggravated
the trouble and led to tumult and
confusion among the people. An Ameri-
can who believes that. the glory of his
country consists in the comfort, intelli-
gence and prosperity of its artisans and
workmen, which can only exist when their
toll is reasonably compensated, cannot but
look with great concern upon the coming
of large numbers of Chinese to our shores.
The existence of large bodies of Chinese
laborers in any American community tends
to debase all labor. They come, and al

JOHN NUGENT.

The death of John Nugent is announced
He was at one time very prominent jour
nalist, having been the proprietor and
editor of the original San Francisco Herald,
which acquired wide reputation under
his management. In the Vigilance Com
mittee period of 1856, however, Mr.. Nj
gent made fatal blunder. Failing to
catch the prevailing tone of public opinion
he took ground against the Vigilance Com
mittee. This course was so strongly
resented that all the merchants Withdrew
their advertising patronage from his paper,
aud after brief struggle the Herald col
lapsed. In 1868 Mr.. Nugent made an
effort to revive the paper, and so great had
its reputation for ability been that he was
enabled to raise large amount of capital.
The new Herald was ushered into exist
ence in very pompous and peculiar way,
and for some months it perplexed and as
tonished the community with kind of
editorial writing so strange as to be almost
weird. It was not, however, captivating
style, and it soon became evident that
either the editor or the public taste had
undergone some radical change, for GER
tainly the new Herald was by no means
conspicuous for ability or genius, at least
as those attributes were understood by the
new population of San Francisco. After a
brief and troubled career embittered by a
fierce telegraph war, the financial hackers
of Mr.. Nugent became hopeless of success,
and so the Herald disappeared for the sec
ond time. Mr.. Nugent had some very
exalted ideas in regard to the external
trappings of journalism, out he lived to
learn that no matter how fine the furniture
of printing Office, if it is not well supplied
with practical sense it cannot be made to
succeed.
