In need of funds, and an earnest appeal, which 11 is
to be hoped will be speedily and mtiultlcently re
ponded to, has been made to the public by the
Jlcnrd of Managers thereof.
The want, of a German Hospital has been long
sadly felt in this city, and now since the desired
boon has assumed shape, it should not be allowed to
retrograde into uselessuess simply for the luck of a
tew dollars. m
The present old building is quite unfit for the de
sired purpose, and cannot be used successfully for
hospital purposes for a much longer time, und It be
incs therefore a necessity to commence the col
leeting of a fund for the purpose of a new building.
The Hospital is located at Twentieth und Norris
streets, the northwestern part of the city; and with
proper support will occupy In that locality the same
noble position as the Episcopal Hospital In tho north
eastern and the Pennsylvania la the southern part
f the city.
There seems to be prevalent an opinion that, M
this Is styled a German Hospital, Germans alone,
Should contribute to its support, butall thin is wrong.
It'ls an institution worthy of the support of all, lor
it Is open to all, and no exception is nuulo as to
olor, creed, or country. The only quantitation ne
cessary for admittance 'is, excepting iu the case of
accidents, that tho patients shtiil be residents of the
ity of Philadelphia, or immigrants who have not
acquired a permanent residence; and they shall bo
either such as pay board, or the poor, who shall be
treated gratuitously. One-tenth of tne beds of tin;
Hospital are reserved for poor patients, and a dis
tinct w2rd is designated for colored persons.

somely furnished apwtmcnt. Being somewhat ex
hausted, he reclined on a velvet padded sofa for a
few moments, with the double purpose of resting
and taking an inventory of the goods and chattels.
This being accomplished, lie softly stepped into the
hallway, lest ho might annoy the family, the mem
bers of which were partaking of their evening meal,
and carefully removed two line overcoats from a
handsome walnut hom-tlpped stand. Alter trying

CBlneae Imanlarratloa.
The teleirriiph was oorrec.t In statlntr the other day
that tlovernor Halt-lit, in his biennial memee to the
Legislature or Ollfornla, recommended that the
Stale aid land facilitate Immiirration from Kurope
snd the Kasteni Htates, but It. gave an erronoous hn
preaalon bj Uie addltlonul statement that he said "the
Legislature bad power to prohibit Chlnnso Im
migration, bnt he was in favor of the removal of all
barriers to the Chinese, not only as an a t of Justice
to them, but as a matter of nouud p iiicy." Appa
rently a few words were dropped from the despatch
in transmission, as Governor lights recomniHtid v
tion really rtiferred to thn adnilHsicin of Chinese tes
tiiiioriy in the courts, and not to the Introducllon of
the Chinese Into the Htule. The Sacramento Union,
,vf'l,a"t,nlK,lt' Klvr'' ,n" ""wsane in full, and t!
how what Governor llaiirht really said we nuote the
followliiR pasnaire from it,:
The Importance of faeiiit.it injr immigration from
the Knstern Hiatus and Kunipe is felt by all who
are interested In our material development. A
moderate expenditure of money tocdtabllHh agencies
in New ork und Kaltimorei and In Kurope would
probably be of service lit directing immigrants to
this coast, and securing additional means for their
safe and speedy truiiHit hither. Ajrents of this
character could do much towards diitusliur
Information as to the advantages ollere'l
by California, and making favorable rrauge
ments with railway and steamship cor
porations. We need population not of races Infe
rior in natural trails, pagan In religion, Ignorant
of free institutions, and incapable of sharing iu
them wilhout putting the very existence of
those institutions in peril but we need im
migrants of kindred races, who will constitute
a congenial cleiileiit and locate themselves and
their families permanently upon the soil; who
can be admitted to an euual share in our poli
tical privileges, and respond to all the obligations
imposed upon eltl.eus under a republican govern,
ment. One great need of California Is a farmina
population from Germany and other European
Htates, accustomed to the cultivation of the grape
and other branches of agriculture, to which our
climate and soil are so peculiarly adapted.
The people of the state have so often and so em
phuticully expressed their hostility to the
Importation of Chinese laborers that their
representatives will doubtless leave no legitimate
means untiled to execute the popular
will lu this respect. It Is of vital Importance, also,
that tlie inriimous business of Importing Chinese
leiimleH by the hundred, for the vilest purposes,
should be arrested at once by Mtrlngent measures. I
do not propone to renew the discussion of the sub
ject of Chinese Immigration in un economic, moral,
or political aspect, because it Is needless to discuss a
question In reference to which public sentiment
here is so nearly unanimous. Tlie Legislature
hnve power, without doubt, to make such pro
visions as will secure the people of the State
against tlie stream of inth and prostitution that,
has been pouring In from Asia for tne past twelve
months, and at the same time secure the working
people of the State airalnst the Ininortatlon of u
class whose servile competition tends directly to
cheapen and degrade labor. While, however, the
people of tills State are with much unanimity op
posed to the Importation of Chinese, both male and
female, they are not disposed to countenance any
ill-usage of Chinese, or of any other clasB within
our borders. The exclusion oi' Mongolian testimony
nan uet-n uccatuoncil OV luc notorious fllCl lUHl
their tcMimonr is so utterly unreliable as In rnanv
casts hardly to afford a basis for conjec
ture, statements In direct conflict upon
simple fuots are constantly made by equal numbers
upon opposite sides in crlmiuiil prosecutions against
Chinese defendants (where their testimony is ad
mitted), with no perceptible choice on their part
between train and falsehood. Notwithstanding,
however, the embarrassment which Juries must often
feel to distinguish truth from falsehood in the testi
mony of this class of persons, the whole policy of
our legislation is to admit all testimony which iuljrht
constitute an element in arriving at the truth,
leaving the jury to Judge of the weight to which
it Ib entitled. In pursuance of this, criminals
havebesn allowed to testify in their own behalf,
and experience has satisiled jurists of the wisdom of
this innovation. In addlt lou to this reason for ad
mitting Chinese to testify, It is true that crime not
only against them, but against white persons, some
times go unpunished for lack of testimony, which,
fortified by corroborating circumstances, would suf
fice to insure conviction aud punishment My dell
berate judgment is strongly In favor of the removal
of all burners to the testimony of any class or
race, as a measure not simply of Justice, but of
sound policy.

again engaging tho attention of the celebrated
writer "Illstorlcus." lie publishes a long commu
