Especial TO THE SENTINEL.

Blair has written the following letter to
Senator Miller of California, in relation
to the immigration of the Chinese:
Hon. John F. Miller-Dear Sir: I have
read your speech on the Chinese question
with great satisfaction. l think it con-
on all points discussed. l do not
see how any thoughtful lover of his coun-
try can copntenance this Monaghan inva-
sion, involving as it does a primary sub
version of our civilization. Hoar seems
intent on submerging US with the Asiatics,
in a mistaken notion that our declaration
for the equality and rights of man COM
PEELED us to open the country to all corners.
This reasoning would oblige US to surren-
u homes to every wayfarer. There Is
sense nor religion in this. In my
judgment Providence has committed this
continent to our trust, to be used for his
honor and glory, by making it the home
OF civilization, and we should be derelict
to our highest duty, il to subserve the
wishes Of capitalists, and to provide them
with cheap labor, we allowed the country
to be overfiowed by mere machine men,
utterly destitute Of all sense Of honor,
patriotism, or religion, and absolutely in
capable of being impressed with such feel
ings. 1t is, however, idle to suppose that
the people will put up with any such
policy. What Mr.. Hoar speaks of as
''ruffianism" is cropping out of the settled
purpose OF the people to protect them
selves without law, if the proper authority
does not protect them, and nothing but
the conviction that such a measure as you
now propose to enact would pass, could
have prevented more decisive action.
Yours truly, MONTGOMERY BLAIR.
American Travellers Subjected to
Brutality at "a Frontier station.
NEW YORK, March CA Paris dispatch
says that a party Of Americans, travelling
from Brussels to this city were subjected
to indefensible brutality at q frontier sta
ton of the Fergnies Department Of the
Nord, on the night of the 1st instant.
Theywere awakened by the customs officials
to have their luggage examined, and were
abused for not Immediately complying,
and assaulted by q Commissioned of Po-
lice for protesting against the way in
which Mrs. Reinolds OF Providence was
treated. That lady was roughly dragged
out of a sleeping cab, bareheaded, without
bonnet or cloak, and exposed to the coarse
jeers OF the crowd, the male portion OF the
party resisting the violence done them. The
gen d'armes, with fixed bayonets, were
called to the assistance Of the officials, and
three OF them were arrested, and refused
permission to telegraph to the American
Minister and their friends. They were not
released until morning, and were con-
demned to pay q fine Of 500 francs each,
coupled with police surveillance for eight
months. TIE case seems exceptionally
bad, and calls for action on the part Of
our representatives here. Leon Leon
helm, formerly Of Chicago, was one Of the
party.
VIII Move for . New Trial.
CHICAGO, March Coco. scovills will

er's relatives, that Scoville's legal abilities
are not Of the best order. John W. Gut
