Ir in now quite evident that John Chinarunn in tho coming man of tlm United Status. Nearly all other species of the yenm homo bavo in turn leen objects of puMio interest and popular excitement. Wo have buried the war-hatchet and dug it up timo and again with tho red man. We have imported tho negro, enslaved him, quarrelled over his con dition, emancipated him, and finally clothed him with the full powers of citizenship, in cluding the right to ride in tho passenger cars, to hit in the jury-box, and to hold office. We have annexed swnrthy Mexicans, and en dowed them, by treaty stipulation, with Jfroo and equal membership of tho body politic. Wo have invited to our shores emigrants from every nation in Europe, and while tho num ber of representatives from sunny Italy, graceful France, stormy Norway, oppressed Poland, distracted Spain, and canny Scotland is comparatively small, countless thousands have found their way hither from England, Ireland, and Germany, becoming flesh of our flesh, bono of our bone, and forming, by their intermixtures and the new conditions to which they have been subjected, all that is distinctive in the American character. These earlier waves of emigration, mighty as they havo been, are but as a drop in the bucket to the possible intlux from a nation overburdened with nearly half the population of tho globe. If China should send us forty millions of hor people, she would suffer less proportionate depletion than Ireland litis already suffered by emigration to America. It is almost impossible to atlix limits to the number of Chinese that could be attracted to this country if the facilities for passage were provided, and if those who arrived here were habitually treated in a manner that would induce them to send back flattering reports to their friends in tho flowery kingdom. As from fifty to seventy thousand of these almond-eyed Orientals have already found their way to the Pacific coast in spite of many obstacles and disadvantages, and as it is said that a leading Chinese emigration or Coolie agent, who rejoices in the euphonious name of Koop Marsoop, is about to perfect arrange ments for importing one hundred thousand of his countrymen during tho present year, many of whom are to be employed as laborers on the plantations of the Mississippi valley, tho Chineso problem is rapidly assuming deep practical significance; and this will greatly increase, on the Atlantic coast, if, as is now supposed, the Eastern cities will soon be supplied with largo cargoes of pig-tailed barbers, laborers, and servants. Heretofore, we have welcomed everybody that was honest and able and willing to work, without distinction of color, nationality, or Bex, and we have seen no good reason why the traditionary policy of the country should be reversed for the purpose of excluding tho Chinese. In California they have, as a rule, been useful, industrious, intelligent, and economical, and the antagonism they havo encountered has emanated chiefly from rival applicants for employment. It appears to be a demonstrated fact that more good ser vice can be obtained for a given amount of money, from an average Chinaman than from any other employe that has ever sought a home on our shores, aud that they prove entirely satisfactory to their employers, whether they are engaged to work as farmers, laborers, railroad graders, or household ser vants. In their own country the Chinese are necessarily compelled, by tho density of popu lation, to practise many useful ; arts; and whore due care has been taken to avoid the mistake of employing tho city-bred China men in rural labors, or rice rcma, the results appear to have boon uniformly satisfactory. In no country in tho world is education so universal as in China; aud while the Chinese lack the higher knowledge which has been acquired during the last few centuries by the leading men of tho Caucasian raco, they have, as a people, been subjected for centuries to a much more complete intellectual training than the masses of European extraction. Agri culture and many of the arts have boon skilfully practised for centuries, industry and economy have become necessary virtues, and any defects of thoir early training are to a great extent supplied by tho wonderful power of imitation which enables the China man, with very little instruction, to perform any new task that may bo assigned to him. The most important question likely to arise is in reference to the establishment of a Coolie system. The poverty of tho Chinese will prevent any considerable body ot tnom from procuring sufficient money to pay thoir passage in advance, and capitalists will not bridge over this difficulty unless they can reap a largo profit from their outlay. If tho Coolio system is to be authorized at all in this country, humanity and justice require tuut it bhall be subjected to stringent supervision and that effective safeguards shall bo esta blished against fraud, cruelty, and oppres sion. The fearful crimes perpetrated in con nectiou with the transportation of Chinese coolies to tho Chiucha Islands, Cuba, and tho French provinces, must not bo repeated in this country. It will be well for the Govern ment to watch carefully the operations of Koop Marsoop and all similar agents, and to see that they do not establish, a new form, of HARVARD vs. OXFORD. A capIjR despatch informs us that tho Harvard University boat crew, which is to row a match with the Oxford crow on August 31, has arrived safely in London, in good health and spirits. We hope that these young men will win the race, and return homo to rocoivo all the congratulations and honors that are usually bostowod on such occasions. It is woll, however, for themselves and thoir fries:' a not to have too many expectations, as the chancos aro two to ono against thorn. English men make a boast of their "fair play;" but, in sporting matters especially, this torm has pretty nearly become obsolete. Even if the parlies themselves be disposed to act fairly and there is no reason to believe that the Oxford crow intends anything elso tho whole betting fraternity will throw its influence against the Americans; and how poworful this influence is has been fully shown on other occasions. If tho alfair gives tho ap pearance of a tole rably easy victory for the Englishmen, their antagonists will probably be unmolested: but if it comes to a close contest, it is almost certain that the Ameri cans will bo prevented from winning. Independently of these considerations, tho Harvard crew are at a disadvantage: the Ox ford men refused to make any concessions or to meet their challenges on equal terms. They would not enter the contest unless the Americans consented to adopt tho British method of rowing and carry tho dead weight of a coxswain. Besides this, tho raco course is a narrow, winding river in which all the advantages arc on the side of those who aro accustomed to it. It has indeed been pro posed that the race should take place upon one of tho lakes, but this innovation on Bri tish custom was discountenanced, and there is no probability that it will be acceded to. In fine, the English crew would not enter tho race except on their own ground aud on thoir own conditions; aud the very fact of such a a proposition being made at all seems to have struck them as most "owdacious." The Americans showed genuine pluck in following up their challenge in the same spirit that it was made, and in accepting all the dis advantageous conditions. If they win, under the circumstances, it will bo little short of a miracle, and if they seem likely to win it will bo remarkable if they end the race without getting their heads broken. In fact, such contests serve no good end, aud are not to be encouraged. It is a great mis chief that rowing, ball playing, and other athletic amusements, that ought to be used only for healthful recreation, all, sooner or later, come under tho control of the betting fraternity; and then the confidence and inte rest of legitimate spectators vanish, and there is no real belief in tho honesty of the best contested matches. So long as young men row, and play ball solely for their own amusement no harm is done, and they are to be commended, but as soon as they begin matches aiid contests they fall under tho supervision of blacklegs and gamblers. They are encouraged to play tricks that gen tlemen would be ashamed of, aud the whole matter falls into disrepute. While we would like to see the Harvard crew win, it would probably be better for themselves and for other young men if they should be badly beaten, as it would discourage others from entering upon such contests another timo. THE PREPAYMENT OF POSTAGE. The postage laws and the administration of tho Tost Office Department are for tho most part excellent, and eminently satisfactory to business men and to the people at large. The Post Office Department is one of the most important that exists under the Government: millions of dollars are at stake every day in the mails, and business interests of tho great est magnitude are dependent on their prompt and safe transmission. The Government has assumed the whole control of this immense business of carrying the mails, it refuses to admit any competition, and it throws around them all the safeguards of the na tional authority. 'The Governmont does this for the accommodation of the people and not for tho sake of profit; indeed, it is well known that, so far from realizing anything by tho operation, the receipts of the Post Office Department fall below tho expenditures every year. So long as this deficiency is kept within reasonable limits, however, it is a matter of little consequenco in comparison with the advantages gained. In assuming the control of this business, the Government prac tically lands itselt to manage it in a manner most advantageous to those who send and re ceive mail matter; and, while taking! every proper precaution to insure itself against loss, to act with more liberality than could be ex pected from private persons. The present postal laws are, with perhaps one exception, as liberal as could be dosirod: the rates are reasonably low, and the trans mission of mail matter, as a rule, reasonably rapid and certain. It is difficult to see, how ever, what good end is served by the provi sion of the law which requires prepayment. The Government probably loses as much or more by detention of letters, papers, and pack ages, their transmission to the Doad-lottor Office, and the subsequent efforts to find the writers, as it would if they were sent im mediately as directed, with the risk of thoir being taken from the office by their owners. Even if tho Government did lose by the opera tion, it ought to incur tho loss rather than that a very largo number of writers and receivers of letters should bo embarrassed as they now are, Every person with an extensive correspon dence will agree with us that the regulation requiring the prepayment of postage is a very serious annoyance, that ought not to exist. Sometimes persons forgot to put stamps on their letters; sometimes, very often, in fact, the stamps will not stick; sometimes, espe cially in the country, it is impossible to ob tain stamps when they are wanted; and i thousand and one instances might bo cited to show how much trouble is occasioned every day in all parts of the country by this foolish and unnecessary regulation. Business letters t vfttaiuirs money, vt ia relftt.on, o natters that require immediate attontion, aro detained every day, perhaps because the stamps fell off after they wore thrown into the mail-box, and if they are ever heard of afterwards it is through tho Dead-letter Office, which commits the absurdity of returning thorn to tho writer instead of sonding thorn according to tho direction. This is a mattor that serious'y calls for a reform, and it ought to roceive the early at tention of Congress. It would be in every way more satisfactory if tho old-fashioned plan of charging double postago on loiters not prepaid were to bo again put into opera tion, Although thoro does not appear to bo any necessity for this. It is true that many por-j-ons would take advantage of a concession of this kind, and it would be an annoyance to many to bo obliged to pay postago on letters that were of no possible interest; but thoro are objections to bo urged against any schenio that could be adoptod, and leaving tho pro payment of postago optional would certainly be less unsatisfactory in a vast number of instances. TIW NEW Til HA TItK O.V Cllh'SXUT STRKKT. Thr Academy of Fine Arts has sold IU lot on Chan nut street, between Tenth and Eleventh, for a new theatre. This Is about all that appears to be dell nltelv known with regard to the new establishment. One rumor says that It Is to be. devoted to variety entertainments, and another that it will adhere to the strictly legitimate. The real intentions of the parties who have the matter In hand remain locked in their own lictirta'bavjugimbllitica are, however, that they wllLjBriuYavor to nuutafp the art'air In such a way as to 'secure the largest prullts. on this sub Jeet the New York Clipper says : S "There has been some talk of erecting a new thea tre on Chestnut street, and capitalists art invited to tuke an Interest in the speculation byuiknlnz for ward and suliHurlbliiR for stock; they are Jiouemiy notified thutthcy iiiut-t not expect 'any dividend lor the tlrst two years, as tho Institution will necessarily take that Vlme to become Urruly established. Un less there to some urst-class business man to direct affairs, and a ready capital to commence operation with, we lear it will be more than two years before the Institution will become llrm.v established. T'I'hu location is a Rood one. and a Una-class theatre, with a UiHt-ela. company, ought to succeed there." i There Is oertainly room for another theatre .In this city, and the Academy of Fine Arts' lot Is as'good a location as could probably be found. If the new theatre is a first-class one In every respect, elegant and comfortable In its auditorium, complete in Its scenic applianrcs and stage machinery, with a good company, such as It is not impossible to obtain, and with a competent manager ac its head, It ought to and probably will succeed. If it Is badly manured it will most certainly fail. I'nder proper ausplc.es, however, those who invest their money in It ought to be able to get a return before two years pass by. The immediate prxrtlts ought to be a secondaty consideration, however, with tlr.- stockholders of such an institution; good theatres, and plenty of then), make the city attractive to strangers. They invite trade here, and because we have hitherto had so few places of amusement is one reason why many persons prefer to visit New York, rather than to come here for the purchase of goods, although our merchants might be able to oiler better bargain?. The dividends on the stock in a first-class place of public entertainment should be esteemed a secondary consideration. The enterprise which builds such estcbllMhmcnts always gets Its reward in time, but It Is necessary to look beyond the present dollar for the sake of keeping an eye on the hun dred or so that promise In the future.
