to regulate immigration from other
countries. But we have hitherto d.
rected our remedy to the complaint.
There may be much that is wrong
connected with the coming of these
people from China, especially the inn
portation of coolies. But let us in our
statute use language which fitly de-
scribes the evil and would prevent, not
language which strikes at the prerog-
ative with which Government has no
right to interfere. 1t is not importa-
ton, but immigration; it is not impor-
tation, but the free coming; it is
not the slave, or the apprentice, or the
prostitute, or the leper, or the thief,
but the laborer at whom this legisla-
ton strikes its blow.
What has happened within thirteen
years that the great Republic should
strike its flag? What change has
come over us that we should eat the
bravest and the truest words we ever
spoke? From 1858 to 1880 there was
added to the population Of the country
~ 1000 Chinese.

Our old friend A. W.. Long has
handed US paper containing an &C
count Of the finding Of some live bats
imbedded in Maryland coal mine.
The story is that young man
named Reese was digging coal, $50
feet beneath the surface, and 1000 feet
from the entrance of the mine, when
he unearthed-or rather uncoaled-
two bats, both living. Mr.. Reese cap
tured and took them home, when one
Of them escaped and returned to the
mine, but was afterward recaptured.
There was much speculation as to
how the bats came to be in that loca-
ton, and how long they had probably
been there. The most popular theory
is that they were cast into the earth
by some natural convulsion, ages ago
and that they had lain there for per-
haps two thousand years. This is
certainly big bat story, but it comes
to US with every assurance Of reliabil-
ity, and we believe Mr.. Long is per.
sonally acquainted with the finder Of
the antediluvian bats.

pleased to know that if Mr.. Neal has
not courage to do right, yet is afraid
