in the records of the Synod no clear account
of what was done, and they therefore sus.
tanned the action of Peck.

THE CHINESE IN NEW YORK.

1t is interesting to watch the change
which is passing over the New York press
in regard to the treatment of the Chinese.
Since the latter emigrated to New York
in considerable numbers they have fallen
under the displeasure of the rough of
those parts, and his methods of evincing
his dissatisfaction are singularly like those
of the San Francisco hoodlum. Our New
York contemporaries for many years up
braided the people of California generally
for allowing the Chinese to he abused and
maltreated, and it was held by them to be
evidence of defective civilization that such
things should occur. But now the same
kind of outrages are becoming quite COM
mon in New York, and the local journals
arc consequently obliged to treat the ques
ton very much as the California press has
treated it hitherto, Recently some New
York hoodlums brutally murdered an in
offensive Chinaman, and the Chinese colony
there, evidently not deeply impressed with
the purity of justice in the New York
Courts, subscribed among themselves a
sum OF $1,000 to conduct the
prosecution. The New York press
think this step eommendable, and
hope the murderers will be con-
victed. At the same time it confesses
that outrages upon the Chinese are far too
common. One paper says "young China
"men are frequently assaulted upon our
"streets, while passing upon their avoca-
tions, and without provocation on their
part and it is within the personal obser-
walton of every one that they are too
"often subjected to grave and dangerous
"insults That which is within the
personal observation of every one must
evidently be extremely common, and we
can gather from this admission how i'll the
Chinese are usually treated in New York.
We do not yet understand why the expo
nents of that higher civilization allow these
outrages to go en- unpublished, but perhaps
the New York press is too much engaged
In looking after the morals of the rest OF
the country to pay much attention to those
of its own neighborhood. At any rate that
press is henceforth estopped from decrying
California civilization because of local abuse
of the Chinese, the more particularly since
abuse of the Cainese in this State has vir-
tually ceased.

and even proposed to bring suit
in the Courts for its recovery.
The Greek brigands are very brutal and
cruel, one of their rules being never to
liberate prisoner who is not ransomed.
If the ransom is not paid at the specified
time they murder the victim, and this
they do even in the case of little children,
lest the introduction of weak concessions
should spoil the business. In regard to
their cruelty and the extremes to which
they go these Greek brigands are no doubt
exceptionally Infamous But SO far as their
criminal organization is concerned, Ameri-
cans can perhaps think of somewhat
analogous arrangements much nearer home.
Such thieving rings as that of Tweed, or
that of the star mail routes, differ in no
essentials from the Greek robber bands.
The latter, it is true, commit their robber-
les directly and in manner openly, but
it would be difficult to find instances of
more undisguised robbery than the ex-
ploits of the Tweed ring. The latter, too,
stole millions where the Greek brigands
are fain to content themselves with
dollars. In fact the Greeks are after all
only petty thieves when they are not muir
derers, and though it is evident from their
methodical habits that they have the root
of the matter in them, as one might say,
yet it is equally clear that they have no
scope for their talents, and that they can
never accomplish much unless they trans
fer their operations to more prolific re-
gions Such men would require very little
prompting in municipal politics among us,
and their native audacity might lead them
to introduce quite numbers of novelties to
the business of fleeing the public. As it
would not be necessary here to cut any
Threats, they would probably abandon
that detail of their profession, and they
would soon learn to practice the American
art of addition, division and silence, u
without having recourse to the dangerous
and therefore imprudent plan of putting
their names to criminal agreements.

The LOST FOUND.


The missing youth Walter Fisher, about
whose mysterious disappearance the San
Francisco papers have been talking for the
past three days, yesterday strolled into the
office of the Chief of Police, and asked
what all the fuss was about. Perhaps Mr..
Fisher thinks it capital joke to be the
subject of discussion in this way; but if,
as he says, he has not been out of the city
at all, it is clear that he is particularly
stupid young ass, or he would have has
tened to clear up the mystery of which he
was the central object. 1t is Of course GER
tain that he had left his accustomed
haunts, and that his absence had alarmed
his friends, and though his temperance
dispels all apprehensions, and leaves the
question whether people are ever shang.
haied still an open one, it is plain that he
has been seriously to blame for concealing
himself, and that he is deserving of cen.
sure for his conduct.

A ROMANCE AT OAKLAND.
One Of Eli Dennison's Train Boys in
Trouble.
[s.F. Post, May Slst.

IS. F. Post, May Slst.l
"Where is Ed. Miller ?" said Post re.
porter to Captain of Police Fletcher this
morning, at the Oakland City Prison.
"Tank No. 8, left side," was the reply.
The reporter went into the prison, and
looking through a small, square aperture
in the tank, saw the prisoner seated on the
cot, and by his side his young wife, who
was voluntarily sharing his Imprisonment
until such time as bail is furnished, or the
examination takes place. The story of this
young couple is touching in the extreme.
About one year ago she met young Miller
and an attachment sprang' up between
them, which, it seems, displeased her
mother, Mrs. Pettee, who sent her to
Bakersfield, where lives man named
Cody, who, it is alleged, accomplished her
ruin, and then threatened to kill her if she
ever breathed the story Of his infamy. He
gave her, it is said, plenty of money, which
she gave to her mother Last October she
and her sister, only twelve years of age,
were sent to Los Angeles at the time
of the Agricultural fair, where they
spent three days az one OF the prin-
cipal hotels, Cody procuring the rooms
for them, when the fellow again made i'm
proper advances even to the young girl
She then told young Miller, who urged her
never to go near Cody again. About two
months ago Mrs. Pettee, it is charged,
wanted the girls to take another trip to
Bakersfield, and the girls were terribly
frightened thereat, and refused to go. One
of them, Lucy, told Miller, and then they
made up their minds to get married, went
over to Oakland, and procuring license
were married. The father, instigated prob
ably by Mrs. Pettee, then swore out war
rant charging Miller with perjury, in
swearing falsely to the age of the girl, and
on which he was arrested. 1t is fair to
say, however, that Mr.. Pettee is astonished
at the story told by his daughter, and will
not prosecute the case any further. Lucy
is a small, handsome young woman, ap-
parently with strong will of her own, as
is evidenced by her voluntarily sharing the
imprisonment OF her husband. Miller is o
quiet young man, who works for Eli Den
nison as train boy on the railroad, and is
well spoken Of by those who know him.

GRsLK AND OTHER BRIGANDAGg.

Some English journals have recently
been investigating the subject OF Greek
brigandage, and with surprising results.
They have aseertained that it is looked
upon in many parts of Greece as regular,
respectable and perfectly legitimate occu.
patton, and that it is carried on in the most
formal and systematic way. When man
determines to invest in brigandage he pro-
cures a certain amount OF capital for the
purchase of arms and accoutrements, and
then he proceeds to gather his band togeth-
er. Every member of this band signs arti-
cles just as if he were going to ship for a
voyage, and the relative shares OF the cap
tain and his followers are specified in the
most punctilious manner in black and
white. Every band OF robbers has It's spies,
who act as foragers, and mark down the
prey in advance. Then there are food
purveyors, advance agents, or something
similar, and in facs regular organization.
It is related that cases have been known of
the leasing of certain districts or routes
by one band to another, and in one
such instance the route proved SO
good that the lessons demanded it back,

was certain otherwise to take place In a few
days. The Departments of War, Interior
and Justice accordingly united in ordering
the Marshal not to make the arrest. The
Postotfice Department, whose employe was
murdered, does not seem to participate IN
this. At all events Low Dog is comfortable,
consuming Government rations. and Sitting
Bull is still at large in Canada.
