THE SLAVE TRADE KEVIVED.
Pren the If, 7. Tim.
Tour bundred and twenty-five coolies
perieLed in the flames" is the laoonio bat
coruiaeheuftive sentence that ooncludea the
brief notice of the latest 'coolie tragedy"
in the China Boas. With each
recurring year conies intelligence of
similar horrors. Every season a certain num
ber of vessel, freighted with unfortunate,
leaves the harbor of Macao for Cuba or Peru,
and, as if in obedience to some hidden law, a
certain proportion of their living cargoes in
evitably meet a horrible and agonizing death.
Sometimes an entire shipload is left to die of
slow starvation on the treacherous shoals of
the China sea, while the captain and his white
crew ib ake their escape in the ship's boats. Some
times the coolies, goaded to frenzy, rise against
their temporary masters, and, having massa
cred every soul capable of guiding the vessel
over the trackless deep, perish miserably be
neath the soorching rays of a tropical sun.
Again, as in the case just reoorded, the dis
affected fire the ship, and hundreds are burnt
or suffocated to death. In one way or another
the coolie trade of Macao involves the annual
loss, by starvation, fire, or massacre, of many
hundreds of human lives.
It is high time that a traffic embodying all
the worst features of the African slave trade
was pat a stop to. The oontemptible little
Portuguese colony, which maintains its
existence upon the profits derived from the
aocursed system, has long been the disgraoe
of civilization in the Far East of Asia. The
shipment of coolies, kidnapped or seduced
by the lying representations of the agents to
leave their homes for foreign soil, is carried
on under the protection and so-called super
vision of the Portuguese Government, but in
distinct and open defiance of the Chinese
authorities, who, pagan as they are, emphati
cally protest against the inhumanities of this
modern slave trade. The pressure of public
opinion has compelled them not merely to
refuse all oountenance to the system, but to
execute at short notice any coolie-dealers
caught in the exeroise of their hated
occupation. Foreigners in China gene
rally, and more eupeoially those resident
in the British colony of Hong-Kong, have
strongly sympathized with the native feeling
in this respect, and the leading journal at
that port but very recently succeeded in get
ting costs from the Macao Government, in an
action promoted by the then Governor, for its
comments upon the flagitious and corrupt
manner in which the "Superintendents of
Emigration" performed their duties. Dis
tinct in manners, race, and language as are
the Southern Chinese from the wretches who
perpetrated the massacre at Tien-Tsin, there
can be no doubt that the recently-announced
spread of ill-feeling in the neighborhood
of Canton ana bwatow is materially
owing to the operations of the coolie
stealers in their immediate localities. It
has long been the opinion of disinterested
residents that the mere security of alien life
and property at these ports required the pat
ting down, with a strong hand, of the nest of
rascals sheltered under the flag of Portugal.
It is difficult at this distance to enter into the
intensity of feeling that prompts the hatred
and contempt of Portuguese institutions
everywhere visible among other foreigners
in China. Every right-minded person, how
ever, will sympathize in the indignation felt
and expressed against a flag which not merely
shelters these vile traffickers in human flesh,
bat derives an enormous income from the
fees they pay for the immunity thus afforded
them.
The abnses of which these coolies justly
complain are perpetrated before and not after
their embarkation on board ship. Seized in
the dead of night and conveyed to the barra
coons, or induced (an easy task) to gamble
away their money, their clothes, and finally
their personal liberty for a term of years,
they remain for a few days or weeks prior to
the vessel's sailing under the eye and influ
ence of the crimp who threatens them not
merely with personal punishment, but with
that most powerful of all known persuasions
in China, the persecution of their families
and friends. The "security system" is
so inwrought a portion of the China
man's social life, that to make a man's wife,
parents, and children vicariously responsible
for his good behavior, is the most natural
and common procedure he can oonoeive.
The universality of marriage, and the
strong claims of blood relationship in China,
are material aids to the crimp's object. The
coolie may indeed be asked by the superin
tendent, pro forma, whether he is a "willing
emigrant," bat he too well knows the oonse
qnenceB of refusal to proceed to venture it.
To yet more strongly bind him, the crimp
has, of course, advanced him a few dollars
with which to gamble on the passage down;
and the restitution of this sum would be in
any case beyond his power. On the one hand,
therefore, he has the choice of imprisonment
until the earn be repaid; on the other a chance
of making his fortune abroad. So he eleots
to go. By and by, as the wearisome mono
tony of the voyage is beginning to make him
long for any change, no matter what, the few
leading spirits always to be found among a
few hundred, suggest mutiny. He jumps at
the suggestion, sometimes to be put down
with meroiless severity, sometimes to suc
cessfully escape, but yet more commonly to
die a miserable death, while those who per
suaded him secure their own safety. Such is
in nine oases out of ten, the history of a
cooue irageay.
STATE EIGHTS AND MILITARY PLE
BISCITES. From, the X. Y. World.
State rights ! We refer not to the theory
of secession rights, whioh sought to destroy,
but to that other doctrine which reoently up
held and maintained the Federal Union. It
was our system of separate State Govern
ments, of oommunity independence, and the
local pride fostered thereby, which made it
possible for us to so rapidly raise the armies
which put down the Rebellion. State Gover
nors, like Seymour in New York, Andrews in
Massachusetts, Morton in Indiana, and so on
put the forces in the field which conquered
the Rebellion, just as it is the French oom
umnes which, with their inherited though for
a long time nnused ideas of local self-reliance
and patriotio ambition, are to-day exerting
the thus enfeebled forces of France to
repel the enemy invader. The Government
of the United States the National Govern
ment as oalled by some, the Federal Govern
ment as more appropriately termed by others
baa its lawful and its important line of
action in the specified powers conferred upon
it in the Constitution, chiefly as to those
things in whiO the States have oommou inte
rest in relation to one another or to foreign
nations; yet every one feels, when he looks
about him, that the substantive power and
the popular force of this country is in the
separate States, which, as they preceded and
created the Union so they maintained and
perpetuated it. The effective demooracy,
tLe vital essenoe of this republic, are in the
people of the several States, acting together
as States. With them, and not with the
National or Federal Government, are the
pprings of our industry, the development of our
material resources, the preservation of order,
the punishment of crimes, the social ar
rangements, the security of property, the
ties of husband and wife, parent and child,
guardian and ward, the relief of the needy,
the institutions of religious worship.and all the
most material concerns of life and death.
President Madison says: "The powers dele
gated to the Federal Government by this
Constitution are few and defined; those which
are to remain in tho State Governments are
numerous and indefinite." President Jeffer-
son
invokes "the support of the State
Governments in all
their rights as
tne
for
most competent
administrations
our domestic concerns, and the surest
bulwark against anti-republican tendencies.
President Jackson said our true strength and
wisdom consist, "not in handing the States
more closely to the centre, but in leaving
each more unobstructed in its proper orbit.
President Pierce said: "All the pursuits of
industry, everything which promotes the
material or intellectual well-being of the race,
every ear of corn or boll of cotton which
grows is national, for each one of these things
goes to swell tne aggregate of national pros
perity and happiness of the United States;
but it confounds all meaning of language to
say that these things are 'national, as euuiva
lent to 'federal,' so as to come within any of
the classes of appropriation for whioh Con
cress is authorized by the Constitution to
lecislate."
These eminent official persons, covenng ro
large a space in the history of the country,
express the Democratic opinion in respeot to
the relative rights, powers, and duties of the
States and of the Federal Government. Upon
that opinion the Democratic organization
has always acted, and its convictions increase
in force as time rolls on. Hence Democrats
always resist schemes which tend to in
crease the power and patronage of the Govern
mcnt in Washington beyond the efficient dis
charge of its federal functions, wherein it is
supreme. For that reason Democratic admi
nistrations have resisted the prosecution of
a general system of internal improvements by
means of appropriations from the general
treasury, not only because exceptionable
for want of constitutional power, but
also because prejudicial to the true interests
of the several States. Donations of the
publio lands for eleemosynary objects in the
States have been prevented by a Demooratio
Executive, because not proper objects of
Congressional expenditure, any more than
other local objects appealing to the best sym
pathies of the human heart. The Demooratio
doctrine in respect to the publio lands has
been and is that the Federal Government is
bound to dispose of them as would a pru
dent, sagacious, private land-owner dispos
ing of a small share of his property
alternate sections, it may be, by way of gift,
or at nominal prices, to encourage the
early occupation thereof by constructing
railways or otherwise, and so augment
tne vaiue ot tne rosiaue, but never
making the building of public works the
primary or main object. All suoh enterprises
are to be undertaken by private enterprise,
nnder control of the several States. In gone
rs!, whatever gives to the Federal Govern
ment money or power not absolutely vital to
its constitutional functions is to be resisted,
The States are to be the disbarsers of patron
age and expenditures, npon the theory that
nothing shall be done in Washington which
can as well be done in Boston, or Albany, or
i ronton, or narnsburg, or Annapolis,
lor eeampie. lnerefore, tne maximum
of all taxes shall be levied and col.
lected by the States, and the minimum by
ice r eaerai power, itaiiways, canals, steam
boats, and telegraphs, not absolutely essen
tial for war or naval uses, shall not be owned,
operated, or controlled ia Washington. The
increase of Federal patronage therefrom
would of itself condemn such projects.
Even the distribution of the mails could, it is
thought by many, be better left to private
enterprise, as is now the actual transporta
tion thereof by land and water. To-day an
express company by contract distributes the
mails from the Post Office in this city to the
different railways, which in turn carry them
onward to their destination. Why not entrust
the receipt and distribution in the post offices
to private corporations or companies ? It is
the least diffioalt part of the business, and the
least expensive.
When once the Federal Government is ad
ministered on this idea of turning over to the
States everything which the Constitution does
not command to be done from Washington,
then the whole maohine will work harmo
niously and simply. Appropriations and ex
penditures by the Federal Government will
be reduced to the minimum. Federal offloes
will be reduced in number and the salaries
made equally small. Citizens will tarn to
their homes for honors and emoluments.
where neighborhood criticism is active and
penetrating. The Federal debt will be paid,
but beyond that there will be little need for
large lederal taxation, direct or indirect.
Revenue reform and civil service reform, and
all kindred questions, will then, in respeot to
Washington, be shorn of a great part of their
now vast proportions.
The wisdom of this doctrine of State rights,
and an illustration of what frightful depar
ture from its teachings there has been since
the civil war ended, is clearly seen in the
way the President of the United States now
uses the Federal army and navy in time of
peace, and especially in those military plebis
cites, miscauea elections. until within a
half dozen years or bo the Federal Executive
could not call out the local militia to enforce
even Federal laws in a State, unless he shall
by a proclamation "command suoh insur
gents to disperse." No more oould he call out
the forces of the standing army or the navy
j. no fuuumon preoeaent ot nis power was
the existence "of combinations too powerful
to be suppressed by the ordinary course of
judicial proceedings.! Now all this is
uuaugeu. Aue ixeouuve calls on tne army
or navy, and sends them into a State, as he
wouia can ana sena Dent, or Bibcock, or a
department clerk. President Pieroe did not
use iu military arm in tne atiatra or even a
Territory namely, Kansas till, by his pro.
clamation of February H, 18.KJ, he had satis
fied tlie laws of 17'J5 and 1807.
In case of insurrection against a State gov
ernment. the President cannot interfere bv
calling out the militia of another State (and
nnder no circumstances the militia of that
State) unless on application of the LegisU
tnre of such State, or of the Exeoutive when
the Legislature cannot be convened; aad, as
we have just said, he cannot in strict law, a
we fiay, even in case of anticipated resistance
to Federal laws iu a State, call on Federtl
troops (even nnder modern legislation) uatil
he liss issued a proclamation, under the lma
or 17'.'5 and 1807, calling on tne .aw-Drenerj
to desist and disperse.
IS JOHN A FAILURE?
from Iht AVw Orltane Republican.
It is coming into fashion to abuse John
Chinaman as not coming up to the standard
of a good contract laborer. One fellow say
he is Letter for farming than railroad build
ing, and another fellow thinks that his tann
ing capacity is not so good as his ability a;i a
road constructionist. And so it is probable
tLe big farmers and the railroad contractors
will dismiss John in his aggregate capacity
from their employ. This is all rigat. It
brings matters nearer level, because John U
really not bad as an independent man, which
bis contract with Kooptuansibap did not
allow bim to be. We can afford to absorb
millions of Chinamen it they only come tw
intelligent, separate, independent laborers,
prepared to work for tho best man at the
best price. Their advent is only ob
jectionable when tbey come as ma
chines for an individual purpose,
as it was oricrinally proposed to
bring them. Men who had lost their negro
slaves turned to China for a new supply of
Asiatic peons; and it was purposed that the
saffron-hned laborer from the antipodes
should run out and supplant the race thnt
has borne the brant of labor in the South for
a hundred years and more. And what was
worse, after the negroes had been driven out
tlie Fame old anstocratio system, of farming
was to be introduced which impoverished the
South before the war. Selfish men desired
to perpetuate a rule of servitude which pro
fited one man in living dissolutely off of
the labor of twenty other ignorant men. Mr.
Koopruanscnsp is the promoter of this specu
lation, and as such has probably made a for
tune for himself by selling a croat number of
fools in the South.
The Chinese are probably like the Indians
in this matter of working for other people. It
was always the complaint in Mississippi that
the Choctaws never could bo made t. work
like slaves. They would contract to serve,
and they might fulfil their agreement; but if
they once grew obstinato or were allowed to
reach wbihky work was a, an end. Foroe
was useless to move them to do faithful ser
vice. The Mexioan is much the same crea
tine. His personal independence cannot be
degraded to a condition of slavery. And
it is this rebellious principle in the China
man wnicu Has given dissatisfaction to
the factor of John ChinameD. These
people, who were expected to be slaves,
have demonstrated that thev are men.
They stand upon their contract. They Afro
not to be cheated in wages or swindled out of
their earnings by shoddy merchandine. . Set
tlements must be punctually made, treatment
must be conciliatory and agreeable. Else
there comes a row. The Chinaman is neither
to be imposed upoa in his pocket nor his
person. And as tho original suggesters of
Asiatic peons based their calculations on
being able to defraud and beat their peons,
tne speculation Has lost its attraction since it
has been found that the peons can take care
of themselves. And this ia why our farmers
and contractors are mutually finding out that
the Chinaman is not a faithful laborer.
No laborer is good in this country who
is not independent. There is something in
our society which makes men feel that their
personal liberty to go and come must be un
restrained, in order that they may stand
upon the common platform of American lib
erty. In California John Chinaman is an in
dustrious, economical, poaoeful, and taxpay
ing citizen. Ho works for himself, while
doing the labor of others. Both himself and
his employer are freo to quit when they fail
to agree. IIe will be an acquisition of value
to the South when he comes here as a free
man, because then he will work with a will.
To-day lie is a despondent, disoontented
peon, living the lite of a slave among a
moving world of free people. While all
around may move, he alone is tied to the
service. Is it strange that, in brooding over
this servitude, the Chinaman fails to give
satisfaction? Put yourself in his pluce and
answer.
TnE SORROWS OF NEW JERSEY.
From the A. T. World.
The Republicans of New Jersey are in the
pangs of Senatorial parturition, and the doc
tors and dry nurses are in infinite trouble of
spirit. When it became known that the trooly
loil had a majority in the Legislature, aspi
rants lor tne united btates Senatorship, made
vacant by the withdrawal of the commercial
Cattell, became numerous. Some were indi
genous, like the Frehnghnysens, who have a
family entail on that especial office, r.nd claim
to nola it in common law. Others came ud
like toad-stools in a barny-trd; among them
one Cornelius Walsh, a self-made ward states
man of .Newark, who has diligently attended
political primaries and church prayer-meot-ings,
has occasionally been a delegate to Re
publican county conventions, And often pre
sided at gatherings of tho good when the
cause of religion or temperance was at
stake.
He is a smug-faced man, careful and eco
nomical in his business affairs, and has
proved his statesmanship by solving the labor
question. Not at all a carpet-bagger, he is a
manufacturer of carpet-bag frames, trunk
hinges, and the like, and has never had a
strike in bis shop, because he demands a
month's notice from any workman who in
tends to leave, and keeps two weeks' back
pay in his own hands, which they forfeit if
they go without his consent. Saint and
statesman, why should he not be also Sena
tor? lie has acquired a gift by frequent
exhortations in class-meetings, and from that
to "listening senates" is only a step.
So it happens that Mr. Walsh is the mo3t
prominent candidate for he suocessorship to
Cattell. ne made to himself friend of the
mammon of unrighteousness, and recollecting
that a prophet is not without honor save in
his own country, he wont down into West
Jersey before the November election aud
"helped" the Republican candidates for As
sembly. To some he gave one talent, to
some five, and to others ten talents; noria he,
it is understood, presently particular about
how much he pays him who cometh at the
eleventh hour; and now when the Senatorial
choice is pending Welsh appears with au
alarming following of fellows upon whom bo
has a "first mortgage" to adopt a felioitous
phrase of the Newark A dee itiser, which, in
its anxiety to win last fall, advised all Sena
torial candidates to go in and oooupy as many
Assembly districts as they oould beg, borrow,
or buy. Walsh did it with a vengeance, and
now the Advertiser sets up a howl about the
corrupt use of money in elf ctious.
But if Walsh beats the Advertiser clique
we sLall rejoice with exceeding great joy.
He is intelligent enough for tua average Re
publican ami fully represents tho piety of the
party. And wo hhall hugtdy appreciate the
wony of Republican editors who, compelled
to say something, must delve amung volumes
of biographies of "American Slf-male
Men, Uluutiattd," to find tho uaaio aud loam
tho career of the distinguished Sen tor Walsh
from New Jersey the Slate of Bombard, Fre
linghnyBen, and StocKton.
"WHERE IS THE LITTLE NIGQER?"
From the K. T". Herald.
We notice by our reports from Albany that
Boss Tweed has introduced a bill to legalize
the purchase of certain lakes and lands tor the
use of tho Croton Aquednct, and for which
the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars
been pnid. We suppose this is to cover tho
purchase of Lake Gilead, in Tutnam oounly,
lai-t summer, and the payment to the ownurs
of the above amount by Mr. Tweed as Presi
dent of the Board of Publio Works. It will
be remembered there was no little gossip at
he time on the Bubject, to the effect that
Boss Tweed was making a fine job out of the
transaction the charge beinj no less than
the celling to the city for two hundred thou
sand dollars property for whioh he paid only
twenty-five thousand.
But that scandal is put to rest by the bill
just introduced, indemnifying the Boss for
exactly the amount of cash he paid down
twenty-five thoncaud dollars, no more and no
less. This is a miracle of honesty on the
part of a ring manager that would be deemed
incredible did we not have tho plain figures
before our eyes. Is it possible that Mr.
Tweed can have performed this service for
the city and not even pocketed a percentage
or a commission on the operation? But do
we really seo the whole thing in its present
light ? Is there not something iu the back
ground some balm in Lake Gilead that will
nllsA" the itching palm of the great big Boss ?
Is there or is there not a littlo nigger iu the
woodpile? If bo, where is the little joker?
If it turns out to be a fair and square trans
action on the part of Mr. Tweed, we shall
have to givo that gentleman credit
for possessing a" degree of cousciontionsnebs
unparalleled in the annals of corporation jobs
ana jobbers. Taken in connection with his
recent vaunted charitable donations, it may
foier hadow a change of heart and lead to a
bona Jide moral reformation that will Btartle
the political world end cause old Tammany
Hall to be filled with lamentations. What!
no more corporation scalps, no more pickings
and stealing?, no more cent per cent opera
tions, ne more tax levy subsidies? Horrible!
We shall bo very glad to help Mr. Tweed
along in this great work of rofonn a work
that should be encouraged by all taxpaying
citizens. But, seriously, is there or is there
not a "little nigger in the woodpile?"
