"The Chinese Must Go"-substitution of
White for Chinese Labor.
NEW York, April 7th.-The Times saws ::
A laundry at Belleville, where over 200
Cinnamon were recently employed, is now
supplied almost exclusively with white labor.
Casebolt the manager, became satisfied that
white labor was cheaper in the long run than
Chinese labor, and began several months ago
to make the change but a large number of
Cinnamon still remained in his service. A
few days ago one of them, who was grossly
offensive in his demeanor towards Casebolt,
was discharged. Thinking the foreman had
been instrumental in securing the discharge
of the workman, the Cinnamon demanded
that the foreman should be discharged too.
Mr.. Casebolt refused to remove the foreman,
and the Cinnamon threatened to kill him.
They quit work, and spent their time in
playing cards. day or two after they
armed themselves with dirk knives,
gathered on the Laundry premises.
and yelled like ComaDche Indians. Mr..
Casebolt went boldly into the desperate
crowd, and declared that he would punish any
one of them that raised hand against either
himself or the foreman. When a Constable.
who had been sent for, arrived, Casebolt put
Yang Jock, one of the ring leaders, in irons,
and the rest OF the crowd, overawed, re-
treated. Casebolt discharged all of them,
and they marched in single file to the depot.
On Monday twenty of them returned, and
promising to obey the rules, were taken back
to work but Casebolt says he will discharge
them as soon as he can replace them with
white men and women.

The Chief Danger Of the Times.
CINCINNATI, April THAT the banquet

r.
United States" said that the toast was an
eloquent and sufficient answer to the question
What has been gained by the war of 1861 ?"
He entered at some length into the great ex,
tent and resources of the country, to its early
trials, and stated that it seemed to be the
chief danger of these times that the neglect
of the people to exercise their power at the
ballot-box would give the demagogue and
trickster their opportunity. Intelligence
would gradually obviate this danger, and the
wisest men would eventually be found at the
front of political movements. He paid a
warm tribute TO President Lincoln, to his
wisdom and knowledge of the people. He
compared the smallness and sufficiency of our
army with the magnitude and inadequacy of
the armies of other countries. The wealth of
our country increases 81 600, goo to So, 900, 600
daily, and the debt will in comparatively
short time be extinguished in full payment
We were becoming more careful not to per-
nit lawless expeditions against a weaker race
and nations, and are more tender and jealous
of their rights.
Many other toasts were given, and happily
responded to.

Washington special says A Treasury
official remarked to-day that there was now
nassed in the vaults of the Department q
larger amount of gold than was ever known
to be in one place, in the history of modern
times at least, and probably more than could
be authenticated as existing in single
treasury at any time before in the world.
There is now about STA, 600, 900 in gold coin
and bullion, exclusive of some $50, 600, 900 in
silver, while the Bank of England has only
about SO, 100000 in gold. What is more
singular is, it stays in the vaults, no matter
what the demand for as fast as it is paid out
it returns. showing that as long as confidence
is maintained it is not the favorite currency.
The sfreet.Car Difficulty at Chicago.
CHICAGO, April 7th.-Not a car is running
to-day on the West Side street lines, the
