received by them, giving accounts OF the
anti Chinese meetings held throughout the
Pacific Slope last Saturday. Dawe (Rep.)
OF Massachusetts then took the floor and
made q speech against the bill. He went
over the familiar ground of argument in
that there is at least as much danger to
society and political institutions of this
country from vicious and idle immigrants
Of European nativities as from Chinese
laborers. A settlement Of this question
in the manner proposed by this measure,
he said, was q surrender Of principle, in
order to make peace at the behests of the
disorderly foreign element of a locality.
Jones Of Nevada, in~terrupting. begged
leave to correct Dawes. When he assumed
that this opposition to the Chinese arose
from the ovsr-mastering passion of foreign
elements OF the Pacific Coast, he was mis-
taken. The election had in California
soon after the ratification of the Bur-
lingame treaty. at a time when the State
was Republican by 10000, proved conclu-
| sively that the people Of California were
bitterly opposed to the treaty, for a Re-
publican candidate for Governor, who in
dorsed the treaty, was defeated by 10000
votes.
Edmunds defended the principle Of the
bill. The Senate went into executive ses-
sion, and the bill goes over till tomorrow.
