En-. ISpEpEsDSNr:-I notice 10 your
Fridays issue the steps taken in your
town by the officers with the two white
girla found in a Chinese den. The
same two are o here. living in the
lowest, dirtiest, Chinese dug out in
town. The mother Of these children
says she is married to a Chinaman aud
intends to remain with him aud keep
the children. Is it not the duty Of the
authorities to take these children aud
care for them2 Aud by SO doing rescue
them from the life they are destined
for, il allowed to remain with this un..
natunil mother. The better portion Of
our citizens here are justly very iudig

our county oficsrs should take proper
steps TO take these children and send
them to the Orphans Home at Carson.
I!wfite to call their attention to it.
"''. Yours,
JonS A. PALMER.
We have upon our statutes IN Act mp
proved Nov. -. 1861, which proyiLes>as
follows:
SEc.'1. II any white man or woman
intermarry with my black person,
mtlatto, Indian, or Chihese,' the parties
to such marrige shall be deemed guilty
Of a misdemeanor, and, OF conviction
thereof, be imprisoned III the State
Prison for q term not less thun one
year nor more thnn two years.
.! The second section makes it q misde-
meanor for any person authorized TO
perform the marriage ceremony to unite
any such persons in marriage.
SEQ. o. II my white person shRil
live and cohabit together with any
black person, mul tito, Indian, or
Chinese. in n state Of ~fornication, such
person & offending shnll. on conviction
thereof, be fined IN amy sum not more
than five hundred dollars and not less
ihnn one hundred dollars, or be inn
%pri,oued in the county Jail not less than

both such fine aud imprisonment. as
the Court may order.
Thus il will be seen that the woman
in question is living in open violation OF
the law, whether she he married to the
Chinaman or not, and w call upon the
District Attorney. whose duty it is to
see that our laws are not violated. to in
vestigate this matter; and il there DO
any law by which the children can be
