New YORK, January 17tb-A. M-The
Forld says There is no reason to doubt
| the immediate acquiescence of Great Britain
| in firm and temperate request on the part
of the Government for the formal abrogation
of the Clayton Bulwer convention, which is
already dead in fact. Such request should
at once be made by this Government as a pa

The Chinese Question in Colorado.
New YORK, January 17th-A. M-The
Times says: Governor Pitken, of Colorado,
in his inaugural address, says that the num-
Der of Chinese in that State is not large
| enough 20 affect seriously the welfare of the
| people, but he thinks as California and
Nevada are flooded by Chinese immigration,
Colorado's turn will come next. The Gov.
ernor accordingly makes the principal part
OF his address a discussion of the Chinese
question, and depicting the horrors of an in
| fux of the 'hordes," and warning the peo-
pie of what might happen if the Chinese
should really overwhelm Colorado. There
is needless borrowing of trouble, and
while Pitkin, like every other alarmist on
| this subject. processes to deplore and con-
denim mob violence, it is just such men as he
who excite people without cause, that are
| largely responsible for the scenes of violence
| like that which disgraced Denver last
autumn. The ratification of the new treaty
with China will have the coed effect of spoil
ing the trade of many demagogue outside
of the States il which the Chinese are really
a nuisance to the people.
Colorado strategy.
New YORK, January 17th-A. M.-The
Tribune's Washington special says: For a
long time Belford Of Colorado has been try
ing to obtain recognition from the Speaker,
in order to test the sense of the House on q
bill to provide for the erection of public
building at Denver, but Randall has refused
to see the Colorado member whenever he
claimed the floor for the purpose mentioned.
In the meantime the Speaker has, it is
asserted, on more than one occasion recog-
missed Democratic members for similar pur-
pose In that way bills have been passed
authorizing public buildings at Danville
and at other places where the need
for them was net so great as at
Denver. Recently Bedford has adopted
new tactics. For week past, whenever
member has sought and obtained recognition
in order to secure the passage of bill by
unanimous consent, Bedford has promptly de
manded the regular order of business, and he
announces his intention to carry out this
programme until the last day of the session,
unless the Speaker will allow the House to
vote upon the Denver bill A long and
lively correspondence on the subject, it is un-
derstood, has passed between the Speaker and
Belford. The latter, on being applied to last
evening, declined to furnish copies of the COR
respondence, but remarked that he would not
object to doing so when it was complete.
