.What is your opinion, General, in
reference TO the Chinese question:
u have a great deal of sympathy with
the people of California and other Pa
cifie states in reference 10 this subject,
but ii was mistake on the part of some
congressman to ccnfound the emigration
of the regular Chinese TO this country
with the advent OF Coolies, who. may be
brought under contract and perhaps as
slaves. We have the right to reject all
slaves. There are laws to prevent their
importation TO the United States. As in
old times the slave can be made TO apply
to Coolies just as stringently. Or
better still To obtain the end
IN, view of preventing the Introduction
of Coolie labor 10 the disad-
vantage of the working classes of this
country we might make a treaty with
China, with which it would be under
stood that slaves or Coolies were not to
be landed on our shores But to saw that
any well behaved, law-abiding person
should be kept away, when DESTROYS of
emigrating of his own free will, aside
from the Coolie system, would be hard
and contrary 10 the intentions of our in
stitutions' ~
will bill Of the character you indi-
cate be apt 10 passg'
"a bill in some modified way will be
presented, and if in proper shape rela-
tive to Coolies. we, the Republicans in
congress, will be willing TO help its pass

Frauds in New York.
New York, Oct. 21.-There has been
a suspicion for some days that Demo-
,ftf.f 1o
1868 were being perpetrated in the state
courts in this city, in connection with
naturalization, but so closely did the
persons perpetrating them conceal their
practices that ii was not until Wednes-
day last that the authorities got upon
the track. II is said that the clew which
has been obtained will lead to the arrest
of many persons who have been active
ly employed for several months in fur
nishing professional witnesses for the
naturalization of aliens, many of whom
have been in the country only a few
months. 4 man called On chief super
visor Davenport and informed him
that on that morning that Christian
Iceberg, of a larger-beer shop
at No. 54 West street, had asked him
if he knew of any persons, who for con-
sideration, would act as witnesses for
some men whom he desired to have nat
uraliZed. After thorough inquiry
Davenport requested his visitor to see
the matter through, and to discover, if
possible, what Leiberg's plans were.
This he did and discovered that Iceberg
succeeded IN obtaining fraudulent wit
nesses to swear man named johnson,
through for the consideration of So, and
by this process certificate of naturali-
cation was obtained. Iceberg. johnson,
Tnl oil
Seiss, have all been arrested by order of
Supervisor Davenport, the former being
held to bal in the sum of $4,000 and
the two latter 5000 each.

has Just returned, having left the scene

in the south, which would drive thu
bodies further north of where the wreck
occurred, as near as expected. Life boat
of the Alpena have been found near San

coming in south and north of the har
Dor. 1t is rumored that Mr.. Lyons, o
