would not object to the proceedings intended
to declare that contract illegal. The TINES |
adds: The Gould Huntington party have
secured the most valuable franchises and
property of the Pacific Mail by the transfer
of the San Francisco and China line, and
they are not unwilling to be relieved of a
payment of S110,0 per month to the steam
ship company, and it has been minated
that a Senate resolution OF inquiry was in
stigated by the Gould Huntington interest

Other morning journals comment similarly
on the transaction.
DIR. Siorrs on Chinese Immigration.
New YORK, March 15th.-Dr Storrs, who
occupied the Plymouth Church pulpit yester-
4 day, said in his sermon: On the other side CT
this continent there stand open those Golden
Gates of the Pacific sea. We on this side of
that sea are reckoning those who are on the
other side torcome on, and what is to prevent
them? Denis Kearney. Laughter. That
Asiatic continent could spill l, 500, 600 of its
people into America and she would scarcely
know that she had lost family. What is to
prevent this? An Act of Congress? Why,
it would be swept away ike freshet sweep
ing and breaking the banks of the Mississippi
river. It is the duty of Christians to inquire
as to the probable result of the absorption by
the American people of this immigration from
Europe ana Asia. IL Ia q IacC Ina1 the lulinl-
grants had, for the most part, sad lack of
religious and moral training, and upon which
on the part of its people the perfect unity OF
States and nations depended. These immi-
grants brought with them q wild, ungovern-
able temper and ignorance of the right, which
carried with it the wreck of nations. We can
overcome their poverty, because their own
industry will soon bring them comparative
wealth. We can overcome their ignorance,

4 Chinarnan's Eventful Career.
CHICAGO, March 18TH Lew Long and
Lee King, two of the Cinnamon who as
saulted Wang Chin Foo with hatchets and
razors in laundry at 255 Clark street, a few
days ago, were arrested last night. Wang
| Chin Foo was revolutionist in his native
land, and the Emperor drove him from the
country. For q time be found shelter in San
Francisco, but was followed by emissaries of
the Chinese Government who were anxious
to get his head on account of a large reward
which the home authorities had offered for it.
! Wang Chin Foo then came to Chicago and
has lived here in comparative peace until the
other day, when q number of his country |
men made deadly assault upon him and |
attempted to cut off his head with an ak, 1t |
is said that the Cinnamon were actuated by |

The Eiii Sensation al Waslsinstsn.
WASHINGTON, March 15th.-Mrs. Lock- |
woods letter to Senator Hill, of Georgia. was
shown to that gentleman, and after reading |
it he said 1T is miserable, despicable lie, |
and the woman must be crazy to write such a |
letter. 1t is outrageous to refer to persons in |
the general way she does and attempt to scan
dalize whole families. L never put but one
person IN any position here outside of the |
| Capitol did get the Public Printer to give |
an old Wing friend of mine-an old journal !
| ist-a place in the Government Printing Of |
fee. | have not influence enough with the
Administration to get offices for persons |
Now do not know why this woman Lock
wood pursues me in the way she does, unless |
it is because | opposed her bill when it was
before the Senate. | not only voted against |
| it, but refused to see her on several occasions
when she sent her card TO me and one day, |
when l was passing through the corridor or
lobby, she undertook to stop me to talk about |
her bill. refused to stop or hold any CONVEX
sation with her, and l did hear about that
| time that she was threatening to get even with
| all the Senators who opposed her bill. This, |
suppose. is her grudge against me. In that
very letter she admits, in eIiect, that she has
failed to substantiate her first attempt against |
me, and therefore she makes new allegations.
/ Now, as to Mr. Kellogg, l have never said |
anything about him in connection with this |
affair | neither accuse him nor acquit him." |
! The bill 10 which Mr.. Hill refers as having |
voted against in the Senate was bill to au-
thorize women to be admitted to practice be- |
fore the United States Supreme Court. Mrs. |
! Lockwood maintains that these charges |
against Mr.. Hill contained in her letter are
| true and she claims that she will produce |
the witnesses to prove them whenever Mr. |
Hill calls for the proof in a Count of justice |
/ As Mrs Lockwood is regarded as a very good
lawyer, it is not likely she would make the
/ charges contained il her published letter
without full deliberations, and without having
/ in her possession the evidence necessary to
! establish their correctness. The publication
/ Of Mrs. Lockwood's letter caused decided
sensation, and Mr.. Hill cannot escape from
the charges, SO boldly and specifically made,
! by mere denial.
The CoIsTed Exodus.
| WASHINGTON, March 15th.-Ex-Senator
| Busch, of louisiana before the Exodus Gem
mittee to-day, said: The efforts by the Dem
ocrats last winter TO pass the chaingan
law" and the uncertainty OF the status of the |
cclored people under Democratic rule, pre-
vented many from making the usual labor
contracts january and February this year,
and the result is already observable in the
large number of colored people who have |
moved from the planting districts into the
cities and towns the banks of the rivers, |
| so as to take advantage of opportunities for |
transportation to the West. He grouped the |
causes of the exodus under Eve heads. viz: |
Fear on tie part OF the colored people of class |
! legislation against them by Democratic legis- |
! lators fear of interference with their educa-
! tional privileges the uncertainty OF obtain
| ing homes and the insecurity in retaining |
them interference with their religious and |
personal rights, and fear of disfranchsement.
| He thought it not improbable that the
protection of his people in all their rights
would produce the effect on them it has pro-
duced in the case Of the Irish, German and
/ English immigrants, who have found homes
and educational advantages and civil and
political rights III this country. He believed
| that in right and justice the experiment |
should be tried. 1t would at least stop the
exodus of his race To the great change in
the political complexion of voters III some
parishes within she last few years, as shown |
by the election returns. he lnstanced Qua.
chta parish, where in 1876 from ], 200 TO l., 500 I
Republican and 400 or 500 Democratic votes /
were cast, while at the last election the lead
| ing Democratic candidate poled $40, and |
| the Republican candidate OILY IL votes. |
| This and similar changes, he said, were &C
complished by the Democratic County Re-
turning Boards. From FIVE to seven police |
jurors were formerly elected in each parish |
| as Supervisors of Elections, but subsequently |
| the Democrats passed law authorizing Gov |
ernor Nichols to appoint five.
1.-The Planned knight OF She United States |
| Senate"
CHICAGO, March 15th.-The Inter Oceans |
Washington special says: A letter was re-
ceived this morning at the Senate postoffice, |
addressed as follows 1.-THE Plumed Knight |
of the United States Senate, Washington,
| d. c." 1t was postmarked Knoxville Tenn. |
The Postmaster of the Senate had an idea
| that it was intended for Senator Blaine, but
he did not take the responsibility of putting
it in Blaine's box, so he handed it to Ser |
geant- alarms Bright, and consultation was
held, to which several Senators of both par
ties were admitted. It was suggested by one
that the letter belonged TO Judge Davis
another claimed that Edmunds was the rer.
son addressed still another that Thurman or
Voorhees,, or Conkling was intended; but it
was finally decided to give it to Blaine. So
when he came to the Senate Colonel Bright
handed it to him, and very gracefully indi-
Gated to him that the public seemed to recog-
nize him as the owner of the letter. Blaine
smiled and opened the letter. 1t was an in
vitation to James G.. Blaine to attend some
literary exercises at the University of Ten
nessee.
