THE CHINESE QUESTION.
The animated discussions of tho Chimuto
quehtion clearly indicate the increasing im
portance of this topic. Some of tho Demo
cratic journals are displaying their character
istic tendency to exalt party above country ly
their efforts to give a partisan bearing to tho
controversy. Their creed may bo briefly
summed up in the statement that they want
Chinese immigration in the South for the
purpose of counteracting the influence of tho
negro, and they are at tho same time opposed
to tho introduction of tho Celestials in the
Pacific and Northern States, because they
fear that they will become formidable indus
trial rivals of Democratic Irishmen. This
creod is as contemptible and 'narrow as it is
contradictory, and totally unworthy of tho
consideration of those whoso judgment is
controlled by a regard for tho welfaro of the
whole country.
The London Time takes a much more
correct view of this subject, and virtually en
dorses the opinions we have heretofore ex
pressed in these columns by its statement that
"tho Chinese may bo welcomed as assistants
in colonization: and not feared as a race likoly to
dominate in future." Their "ancient civiliza
tion and perfect economic methods'' can be
more useful and more productive in tho
United States than in any other portion of
tho world. The vast debt pressing upon tho
nation can only be paid, principal and inte
rest, by the surplus agricultural and maiiufau
turing products of our soil, and each addition
to tho grand army of effective laborers will
lessen the burden of every existing citizen.
Three-fourths of our territory, ut this moment,
scarcely yield enough revenue to defray the
current expenses of their government. Proud
as we may be of the Far West, it costs infinitely
more to maintain frontier posts, to build rail
ways, to fight and feed the Indians, and to
protect and stimulate the advance of
civilization, than the trans-Mississippi rogions
yield to tho Treasury. This drain will con
tinue for years if Asiatic emigration is not
attracted, but with its aid tho productiveness
of tho western half of the continent can be
increased with amazing rapidity. Tho Chi
nese possess in an eminent degree the practi
cal knowledge which is most needed for the
development of our great plateaus and our
mountain regions. They are subject to cli
matic conditions similar to those which pre
vail in a large portion of China, and tho pro
posed new emigrants are masters of tho art
of irrigation, and of the forms of culture
specially adapted to California, Arizona, Utah,
New Mexico, and Colorado. The
clamor against the Chinese is senseless
when it is confronted with the well-attested
fact that they have uniformly proved intelli
gent, docile, and industrious laborers, whether
employed in constructing railways, in the cul
tivation of farms, in manufacturing establish
ments, or in household service. California
promises to acquire infinitely more wealth
from agriculture and manufactures than she
ever derived from her mines. But she needs
above all things, labor. She rewards with ex
travagant wages workmen of every grade
from every country, and yet, with millions of
acres awaiting the culture of intelligent in
dustry, and with a soil well adapted not only
to the growth of the cereals, but to the growth
of the grape, fruits, and the favorite food of
the silkworm, her Democratic politicians pro
pose to close her ports against the most indus
trious, useful, and economical laborers she has
ver had, for the alleged reason that they are too
useful, and their labor, in proportion to cost,
too productive! The folly of France in ban
ishing the Huguenot artisans was supremo
wisdom when compared with this modern ex
hibition of superlative stupidity.
In the Southern States the Chinese would
be perhaps even more useful than in the
West. It requires no stretch of the imagina
tion to suppose that three millions of work
ing Chinamen, under proper surroundings,
would do infinitely more work than has ever
been done heretofore by the whole body of
her population. It would be a very easy task
for them to raise a larger cotton crop than
that annually grown before the ltebellion, to
restore the ruined rice plantations of South
Carolina and Georgia, and to revive the droop
ing sugar interest of Louisiana. If they
were as industrious and skilful in this country
as they usually are in their own, they eould
even do infinitely more for the South,
They could make the old dreams of raising
tea and manufacturing large quantities of
silk vivid realities, and develop to a wondrous
degree the latent resources which have so
long been systematically neglected. They
would not necessarily become tho rivals of
the present laborers of the South, but rather
useful assistants. The States which went into
the ltebellion have land, room, and work
enough to maintain a hundred millions of
people; and the sooner they attract a fair pro
portion of tho complement of workmen
needed to utilize their neglected plantations
the better will it be for the whole body of the
present Southern population and the people
of all other sections of the country.
RIGHTS OF SICK MEN IN THE NA VT.
A naval court-martial is about to sit in
Washington to try a case of unusual iutenst
and importance, which involves not merely a
question of the relative authority, rights,
duties, and privileges of the line and stuff
officers of the navy, but which also involves
the well-being of every officer and man in the
service. The case is one arising out of a con
flict of authority between a lino and a staff
officer, and, if for no other reason, it is impor
tant as illustrating the very great need of
more definite regulations than exist at nrosont
as to the respective spheres of duty in the
two branches of our naval service. The
officer who is to be tried by tho court-martial
is Tossed Assistant Surgeon Charles L. Greene,
and the offense which he is allegod to have
committed is in declining to put a sick man
on duty when ordered to do so by tho com
manding officer of tho steamer Nipsic, Com-
unmoor rseii ridge.
Tho surgeons of tho navy, we believe,
always have claimed that tho sanitary affairs
of our naval vessels were directly under their
charge; that it rested solely with them to
decide whether a man was disabled or not
from doing duty, and that they wero respon
sible for tho health of tho crew. The lino
officers, however, have always contended that
the commander of a vessel was tho supreme
authority, and that he could, when ho chose,
supersede or assume to himself all tho func
tions of his subordinates, no matter what
their specialties might be. If tho surgoon
thought that a course of jalap was necessary
for the preservation of the health of tho
crew, the captain might take a notion
that jalap was entirely unnecessary, and that
crotonoil, administered twice a day under tho
superintendence of a midshipman, would bo
much more beneficial. In such a case as this,
according to the usual theory, tho surgeon
would be obliged to succumb and the men to
take the dose prescribed by tho quarter-deck,
and run the risks of kill or cure. This may
seem an extravagant statement of the case,
but instances of a not very dissimilar char
acter have really occurred in tho navy, and
the matter under consideration appears to in
dicate that the same despotic and overbearing
disposition is in full force now, as it was in
the good old times when some of our fino
old "sea-dogs" were in the habit of amusing
themselves and preserving discipline by tho
daily exercise of the cat-o'nine tails.
Ve have no disposition to prejudge tho case
of Surgeon Greene in any way, until all the
evidence is published. On tho surface, how
ever, it would appear to disinterested persons
outside of the navy that there was but ono
side to it.
The real moral 6f the controversy is,
however, the necessity of a better organiza
tion of the navy. In spite of tho introduc
tion of steam, and all tho modern improve
ments that have been made within tho last
fifty years, this branch of our military service
is in many respects what tho English navy
was one hundred years ago. Traditions
have been handed down from one generation
of officers to another which are as sacredly
guarded as if the existence of tho navy de
pended upon them. The etiquette is as com
plicated and quite as absurd as that of some
oriental despot's court, and from their first
entrance into the Naval Academy the mid
shipmen are instilled with the idea of their
own importance as officers of the navy, and are
educated by a system that is at once offen
sively unrepublican and prejudicial to the real
efficiency of the service. Tho naval cadet is
carefully trained to think that the corps to
which he belongs constitutes tho navy, and
that surgeons, paymasters, and engineers are
outside barbarians that must be endured with
as good a grace as possible, but who have no
particular rights that a graduate of tho Naval
Academy is bound to respect. There may be,
and probably are, absurd and obsolete cus
toms in the army, but for the most part they
have been done away with, and tho army
officers are generally up with the spirit of the
age in all things. The old times, however,
still exert a spell over the navy; and Admiral
Porter, who is now engaged in running the
department, is one of those conservatives who
looks upon the English service as the model
of excellence, and instead of endeavoring to
strengthen the navy by increasing the efficiency
of all the branches, both staff and line, ho
appears to be endeavoring to use all his influ
ence to crush out the former, or to reduce it
to such a subordinate position that it will
have neither power nor influence. With such
ideas as these in force at the Navy Depart
ment, it is not surprising that the commander
of a ship-of-war should undertake to disci
pline his medical officers; and the case of Sur
geon Greene looks very much like an attempt
on the part of the line to make the navy too
hot to hold the professors of physio, unless
they are content to forego the claims they
have put forth for the rank and privilege of
olncers, ana Buusule into what tho line offi
cers esteem to be their proper subordinate
pobition.

THE NORTHERN rACIFIC ROAD.
Operation of th Kxnlorlnir Pnrtv f the New
Traua-Contlunotal Hallway.
The plan of operations of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad exploring party Is described by the
Minneapolis Tribune as follows:
Upon arrival of the party at Pembina, Gov
ernor Smith and a portion of' the party will con
tinue on to Fort Gray, while Mr. Holmes, the
acnt of .lay Cooke A Co., with the rest of the
party, will strike off across the country to the
hfr bond of the Missouri, and returning over
land by another route, will reach this city in
about sixty or BConty days. At Pembina they
will secure the services o'f ten or twelve half
breed scouts to accompany thotn, and at Fort
Totten they will be joined by the necessary
escort.
The expedition if provided with a splendid
outfit. (icon;e A. lirnckctt, who has been across
the plains before, has had charge of flttinir it out,
and is undoubtedly better qualified to lit out
and carry through an expedition of this kind
than any person they could have selected. The
outfit will consist of ten double wnirons and
twenty-six splendid horses, purchased and so
le etc d by Brackett and Cobb. There are four
two-seated passenger spring wagons, two mess
wagons, four baggage and Mipply wagons, and
six saddle-horses. The camp equipage consists
of two large hospital tents and eight wall tents,
with cots, mattresses, and all other necessary
conveniences for camping out. The commissary
stores have been selected with great care, and
consist of everything that will be needed on a
trip of the kind, and are of sulliclent quantity to
last sixty or seventy days. Two good cooks
and nil other necessary attendants will accom
pany the expedition. A good supply of guns,
ammunition and fishing tackle has been pro
vided, so that the party will have facilities for
rare sport in hunting and fishing while inaklmr
their long trip across the countrv. At this sea
son of tho year it will be a pleasant trip to make,
and we hope to sec them safely back again in
the course of two months, bringing favorable re
ports of the country, and before the summer is
over see the work on the great Northern Pacific
road commenced.
FKEE CUBA.
Dnlly DniitKN of the New Yorli Jim III.
from the X. V. World of this morning.
The Cuban Junta still maintain their head
quarters at No. 71 Broadway (despite the asser
tion that they find it too public), and are likely
to remain there, believing it would bo impossi
ble to find more fitting or advantageous quarters
for tho transaction of their business than they
now possess. They occupy two largo rooms on
the first lloor, the first ol which Is occupied bv
tho clerks and serves as an ante-room leading to
the sanctum sanctorum of the Junta.
A council is held by the Junta every day when
despatches are received from Ccspcdes, (jliesado,
Jordan, and others commanding the patriot
army in Cuba; these despatches, especially those
lately received, arc of a very satisfactory and
cheering character. The" most cheering
accounts are constantly received from other
parts of Cuba of the satisfactory progress of the
cause, confirming the success of tio patriot
army, and tho demoralized and t-ickly condition
of the Spanish troops.
A notice is posted in a prominent place iu the
oflico of the Junta to the following effect: "No
enlistments of men will in future take place at
this office." Cubans and filibusters are con
stantly arriving and departing, some lounging
about the door, and when questioned as to Cu
ban affairs, manifest a decided aversion to enter
upon a conversation on such a subject. Our re
porter was informed that Spanish spies visiting
the headquarters for information would find it
labor in vain, a ad would glean nothing to repay
them for their visit.
Dischnruc of (.'r.bnn Filibusters.
When District Attorney Picrrcpont and two
United States Commissioners visited Fort
Lafayette on Friday last for the purpose of dis
charging tho V2& Cuban filibusters confined
there, three of tho prisoners, Joseph E. Burns,
Albert A. Irwin, and Thomas (J'Neil, refused to
sign the bond and be released, saying they had
been deceived and cheated out of "their wages bv
the Cuban Junta, and they could endure impri
sonment as well as other hardships. These three
prisoners were, therefore, retained at the fort,
while the others were all discharged, each re
ceiving a small sum of money from Cubans when
the party reached New "York. Yesterday,
United States Marshal Barlow received a des
patch from General Vogdes, iu command at
Fort Lafayette, saying O'Neil and Irwin wanted
to be discharged, and that they were now anxious
for an opportunity to sign the bond. Commis
sioner Shields being at once notified, went to
Fort Lafayette aud discharged the prisoners.

Gents: A persistent but nnsaccessfal effort was
made on the night of May 29, 1S09, to drill the

From facts that have come tn mir tnnDi.i i.
evident that the attemot to onnn it was
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
it useless, the droit was then made to break the
lock. The hamraerlnar was heurd hv r.rtio n h
neighborhood for several hours, but supposing it to
