The Chinese Question.
From ocean to ocean, from the North
to the South, all over onr laud, through
otrt its centre, and around its border, the
great question is the Chinese question.
Statesmen are looking at it carefully;
newspaper men are writing about it ; and
politicians are preparing for the introduc
tion of John Chinaman into politics. j
He has been introduced into the work
shops of Massachusetts ; he has been
put into the fields of the South ; and has
rendered, as far as the work is concerned,
complete satisfaction ; and the news now
is that contracts for large numbers have
been made for New York City and other
placet throughout tho country hence
the interest in the question. This con
tract system savors to strongly of slavery
to allow the American people, who have
just passed through an ocean of human
blood, to rid themselves of the system of
slavery, which was eating out the vitals
of the Republic. We are yet mourning
for our friends and kindred lost in the
dreadful struggle against it, and are etill
deep in the slough of a debt of billions
created to rid ourselves of one of the
"last relics of barbarism " The country
is :n uo mood to foster slavery, even in
its mildest form. If the Chinaman comes
to our land, he must not come through
the agency of middle men, who traffic in
him as do " horse and cattle dealers"
traffic in horses and cattle. lie must not,
through their agencies, be bought np in
China at a price of $2.00 per head, per
month, and bound out to citizens of the
United States at S10 to $20 and 823 per
month, for a series of years. This is
slavery modified ; instead of being for
life, it is for a series of years generally
for five. This is the coolie trade, as now
practiced, and a' most infamous trade it
is. Out on it. It is a species of slavery,
and has a tendency to detract from the
worth and dignity of labor, almost as
much as slavery in the South detracted
from the worth and dignity of labor
there. It is the boast of the Northern
States that labor with ns is honorable.
This is the sentiment of the Northern
people, and no system that will ally in
any way with a system of slavery will
be borne by the country. The verdict
of the country on that question Laa been
given unmistakably.
A law was euacted against the coolie
trade, by Congress, a few years ago. If
it be defective, let it be changed to meet
the case, and then rigidly enforced. The
Republican party, with its broad plat
form, that all are equal before the law,
can not and will not sanction this mod
fied type of slavery. While it opens the
door wide to the oppressed of every land,
and invitingly says come, here are our
workshops, here are our fields, aud here
are our mines, help ns to improve and
develope them, it cannot admit the China
man as a coolie. If tho Chinaman desires
to come to our land nntrammcled by con
tract, as a iree roan, of his own free will,
just as the Irishman and the German,
and as all the other people of Europe
come, then let the door be open. Strip
the Chinese question of the coolie phrase,
in which it is now involved, and it be
comes simply a question of emigration,
to be treated like the emigration question
between our government aud Europe.
Representative Cake, of the Schuyl
kill and Lebanon district, in a series of
resolutions which he offered has struck
the key-nwte on the coolie question. The
following are the resolutions offered by
Mr. Cake, which were referred to the
Committee on Education and Labor :
Whereas, Since the emancipation of
the American slave and the elevation of
our humblest laborer to the full rights of
citizenship, unscrupulous speculators of
humau flesh have demonstrated the prac
ticability of fastening slavery upon the
nation in another form ;
And tchsrea. To take a step back
wards is contrary to a sound and health
ful policy, teuding to a betrayal of the
poople and a subversion of the Govern
ment; And irhereaf. The United States of
America has ceased to be the home of the
slave or the field in which tho slave driver
may pursue his trade with impunity ;
And nhcreas. Danger may be antici
pated in organized immigration of bond
Chinamen ; therefore, be it
licsohed, That while the people of the
whole world are invited to come as vol
untary aud free men to share with us in
the protections of our laws, of our free
institutions, and in the wonderful advan
tages of our wonderful land, it is against
the genius of the age to bring them here
in bonds for a term of years or even min
utes ; that this traffic in bondsmen is de
grading to labor aud will not be tolerated
by a nation of freemen, and must be
checked in its inception by the prompt
action on the part of the representatives
of the poople ; therefore be it further
Iletolvcd, That the Committee on Edu
cation and Labor are hereby instructed to
investigate the subject, including the con
tract or coolie system practiced in var
ious parts of the country, and to report a
bill as woon as practicable, prohibiting
the introduction of bondmen from China
or elsewhere, providing for the protec
tion of those who voluntarily seek our
shores in quest of free homes, and who
will as speedily as practicable adopt the
manners, habits, and enstoms of our peo
ple, making it a crimiual offense punisha
ble by fine aud imprisonment to be a par
ty direct or indirect to a project tending
to perpetuate the barbarism of slavery.
War in Europe.
Last week we stated to our readers
that war was imminent between Prussia
and France, and that the bloody work
might commence at any hour. Within
the time of that statement and this one,
embracing only one week, the war tocsin
has been rung, and now great armies are
about to meet in bloody conflict. We,
last week, briefly stated the avowed and
apparent cause of tho trouble, which we
again, in substance, restate ; for we wish
all the readers of the Sentinel to start
with a correct knowledge of this trouble.
Two years ago Queen Isabella, of
Spain, was driven from her throne by an
uprising of her people. She was com
pelled to leave the country. It was
first thought that a Republic conld be
established on the ruins of the old mon
archy. It appears, however, that the
party favoring a republic is too week to
bring to a consummation this desired end.
The leading men of the country then
agreed to select a member of some one
of the German families of Europe to
accept the crown, and sit in the . empty
throne. The choice, after a good deal of
casting about, fell upon a German Prince
of the Ilohenzollcrn family the family
name of the Prussian ruling family
but commonly known in European polit
ical circles by the name of Prince Leo
pold. The Prince accepted the offer of
the throne, which was tendered him by
General Prim, of Spain. This nomina
tion was, however, not final, for it was
subject to the decision of the Spanish
Cortes, a sort of Legislature or Congress.
To this nomination Louis Napoleon was
bitterly opposed, and declared that it was
gotten up by Count Bismark, tho Prus
sian Prime Minister at Berlin, and Gen
eral Prim, and principally all in the in
terest of Prussia, and further declared
his intention of declaring war if the
Prince was not withdrawn. This declar
ation and demand for withdrawal was met
by the Prussian King in the statement
that he was a stranger to the affair, and
that he could not intervene for the with
drawal, that die Prince could do as he
chose. The Emperor then demanded
that the King should give a promise for
the future The King refused to say
that he would not in the future take any
part in the. candidature of Spain. lie
declared that he reserved to himself the
right to consider circumstances. Prince
Leopold was withdrawn. Minister Ben-
edetti, who represented France at the
Prussian seat of government, Berlin,
again saw the King and peremptorily
demanded to know the Kiug's intentions.
The Minister waa on the instant dis
missed, and the fact despatched to the
Cabinets of Europe. Both governments
immediately put troops on the march for
the froutier.
Thus we state to our readers, in as
brief a manner as we can, what we be
Iieve to be a correct statement of the
question.
Despatches iuform ns that it it rumored
that a battle was fought on the froutier,
at or near Fore bach other despatches
say at Thionville. For particulars we
must wait for the foreign mail. This is
but the entering wedge. The people of
both Prussia and Franco aie enthusiastic
in support of their respective govern
menu. French accounts put the loss of
the Prussians at 3,000 killed, and that
of tho French at 2,000 killed. As yet
the report can be traced to no reliable
source. Napoleon aud his son have gone
to the front. The Crown Prince of
Prussia has taken the field and is in com'
maud of the Prussian forces.
At Washington, on the 17th inat.
President Grant called a Cabinet meet
ing, at which it is understood the whole
subject was discussed. . Arrangements
are being made by which our government
will be kept constantly advised by tele
graph, of the situation of affairs.
There are rumors among the Cuban
agents here, to the effect that Napoleon
intends seizing Cuba in case Spain shows
any sympathy with Prussia. In that
case the United States will be compelled
to interfere, and President Grant is re
ported as saying yesterday that in such
an event he would be called upon to en
force the Monroe doctrine. The Presi
dent has determined to send Geueral
Sheridan to Europe to observe the opera
tions of the contending armies. lie will
start at once, aud will be accompanied by
two or three members of his staff.
Naturalization.
We preseut to our resders a correct
synopsis of the amended naturalization
law recently passed by Congress. It has
been apparent to the most careless ob
server that great frauds have been yearly
perpetrated through illegal naturalization.
To stem this current of iniquity this law
has been enacted. The act has received
the President's approval. It is stringent,
and it is the dnty of every citisen to see
that it is faithfully executed. We are
all interested in the preservation of tho
purity of the ballot-box. In that lies
the safety of tho Kepublio.
The 1st section relates to the disgrace
ful but frequent practice of trickery and
perjury employed iu the use of natural
ization papers, and provides for tho pun
ishment of such offences', on proper con
viction, by imprisonment at hard labor
for a period not less than one year nor
more thau five years, or be fined in a sum
not less than three hundred dollars nor
more than one thousand dollars, oi both
such punishments may bo imposed at tho
discretion of the court.
The 2nd section declares against a
person appearing as a false witness in
a naturalization proceeding, or employing
any other fraudulent means in the pro
curing of naturalization papers, intentionally-
Upon conviction of such felony
the guilty persons shall have the penalty
declared in section first imposed upon
them.
The 3rd section declares againBt the
use of naturalization papers that were
procured thvongh fraud or by false evi
dence, and against the nse of papers
issued by tho clerk, or any other officers
of the court, without an appearance and
hearing of the applicant in court, and
any person who shall falsely represent
himself to be a citizen of tho United
States without haviug been duly admit
ted to citizenship, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction
in due course of law shall pay a fine not
exceeding one thousand dollars, or be
imprisoned not exceeding two years,
either or both at the discretion of the
court.
The 4th section declares that the act
shall he applicable before any court in
which any proceedings for naturalization
shall be had, and that the United States
Court shall have jurisdiction of all of
fences under the previsions of this act,
in or before whatever court or tribunal
the same shall have been committed.
The 5th, 6th and 7th sections we pub
lish entire, as follows :
Skc. 5. And be it further enacted,
That in any city having upward of twen
ty thousand inhabitants it shall be the
duty of tho judge of the Circuit or Dis
trict Court of the United States for the
circuit or district wherein said city ehall
be, upon the application of two citizens
to appoint in writing for each election
district or voting precinct in said city,
and to change or renew said appoint
ments as occasion may require, from time
to time, two citizens resident of the dis
trict or precinct, one from each political
party, who, when so designated, shall
be, and are hereby authorized to attend
at all times and places fixed for the
registration of voters, who, being regis
tered, would be entitled to vote for Rep
resentative in Congress, and at all times
and places for holding elections of Rep
resentatives in Congress, and for count
ing the votes cast at said elections, and
to challenge any name proposed to be
registered, and any vote offered, and to
be present and witness through to count
ing of all votes, and to remain where
the ballot-boxes are kept at all times af
ter the polls are open until the votes are
finally counted ; and said persons and
either of them shall have the right to affix
their signatures or his signature to said
register for purposes of identification, and
to attach thereto1, Or to the certificate of
the number of votes cast, any statement
touching the truth or fairness thereof
which they or he may ask to attach ; and
any one who shall prevent any person so
designated from doing any of the acts
authorized as aforesaid, or who shall hin
der or molest any such person in doing
any of the said acts, or shall aid or abet
in preventing, hindering, or molesting any
such person in respect of any such acta
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on
conviction shall be punished by imprison'
meut of not less than one year.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted,Th,t
in any city having upwards of twenty
thousand inhabitants, it shall be lawful
for the marshal of the United States for
the district wherein said city shall be, to
appoint as many special deputies as may
be neeessary to preserve order at any eleC'
tion at which Representatives in Congress
are to be chosen ; and such deputies are
hereby authorized to preserve ordor at
such elections, aud to arrest for any of
fence or breach of the peace committed
iu their view.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted,
That the naturalization laws are hereby
extended to aliens of African nativity and
to persons of African descent.
Hampton and Blair.
Wade Hampton and Frank Blair, Jr.,
did more than any other men in the na
tion to defeat the Democracy in the last
Presidential campaign by rashly expos
ing the true feelings and purposes of the
patty. It was generally supposed that
they had learned a lesson from that ex
perience, and that the Democracy were to
be spared thereafter the disastrous effects
of their incontinent candor. Blair has
kept commendably quiet, and there is
room to hope that he may be truly peni
tent. Not so Hampton, however. This
blatant rebel seems fearful that the coun
try is forgetting his offence and therefore
takes occasion, now and then, to air anew
his vocabulary cf treason. A statue in
commemoration of certain dead Confed
erate soldiers was unveiled the other day
at Charleston, and Ilampton was the ora
tor. Ilia address was, in tho words of
the Democratic Baltimore Gazette,
"worthy of the man and of the occa
sion." Tho same paper says further
regarding it . "He boldly controverted
the declaration, so often repeated, that
the principles for which the South
fought were settled by the war. He warn
ed his hearers not to be misled 'by that
unmeaning jargon which tells yon that
your case was submitted to the arbitra
ment of arms, and that the sword has
decided that cause against yon." He em
phatically denied the power of the sword
to decide the principle or establish a truth.
He admitted that it often overthrew a
just causo, and by brute force controlled
the right. It simply vindicated the
truth when it was drawn in defence of
truth. 'But it is false,' he said, 'in fact
as in logic, to assert that tho sword can
or does decide justly between right or
wrong." Thus, despite the wild World,
and against the earnest advice of the
more prudent leaders, the Democracy
will here and there boldly show their
hand, and thus demonstrate the identity
of their cause with that of the rebellion.
Pre.
Sew Banks.
Simultaneously with a prospect of a
withdrawal of a portion of our currency
from the banks of the New England and
Middle Statcs.there has sprung np a move
ment to establish the State banking sys
tem both here and in New York, but
more especially in Philadelphia, where a
deficiency of chartered banking capital is
greater now than at any former period,
because onr business has swollen to such
vast dimensions. We have already in
operation here two State banks that seem
to be doing well, and notices have been
published of applications to be made to
the next Legislature for some half a dozen
bank charters of the same kind ; all, of
course like the two now in operation,
without currency i North American.
Infallibility. The Pope has been
successful in getting the Ecumenical
Council to adopt the dogma of infalli
bility. The vote stands 450 in favor 88
against. The pope and the dogma of
Infallibility are seriously clonded by
the war now raging in Europe. The
minds of the people are on the war
question instead of the religious ques.
tion. There is a probability, too, that
France, in consequence of her troubles
with Prussia, will withdraw her troops
from Romo. They are needed on the
Rhine. "When the French bayonets
leave Rome, it is likely that the ' Reds,'
with Garibaldi and Mazzini will go in,
and when they go in, the Ecumenical
Council will go out."
Harmony. The Lewis town Gazette,
in reference to certain reports relative to
a division of the Republican party in that
county, says that no difference will exist
after the nominations.
Grasshoppers In Utah.
A writer to the Department of Agri
culture (ays: "We are surrounded, en.
compassed about, and overwhelmed with
grasshoppers. These insects have hatch
ed out the past spring by myriads, on
the benches around the city, , and in
most of the unfrequented streets, so that
now in the outside lots they are doing
a great amount of damage. In my lot,
which is on the east part of the town,
they have destroyed all my young green
vegetables, also my pie-plant, gooseber
ries, strawberry plants, potato vines,
grape vines, old and young, and stripped
nine tenths of my trees of foliages, and
now aro cutting off the pea vines. As
an instance of their voracity, on the
24th of April my place looked lovely
in the morning, at ' noon the small in
sects commenced to travel in a body,
and before sundown the place was as
bare as nothing had been planted, and
they, staying around, kept it so ; and
now we have the appearance of winter
in the Iota so affected. The insects have
not travled far into the city in any num
bers, because the inhabitants of the out
side lots are vigilant in their effors to
destroy all that they can. All modes
are resorted to digging holes, driving
the insects into, and burying them in
the mud; piling straw, surrrounding
them and driving them in, and then af
ter dark burning them in the stiaw ; put
ting a hoop in the mouth of a sack,
sweeping hem into sacks and crushing
them ; catching them in sheets and de
stroying them, &c Though millions
are killed daily, we are overrun with
them, and people from the mountains say
the hills are covered with small ones,
yet to come down. It is a deplorable
prospect, but we are going to fight it
out oi that line.' "
An Item fur the Ladles.
Those of "our lady readers who favor
the medical education of woman, and
also all our readers, both male and
female, who are dogmatically opposed to
woman entering the medical profession-
becoming doctors, will read with interest
the following, which we clip from the
Philadelphia Inquirer :
Several months ago the Medical Ga
setle offered a prize for the greatest num
ber of acceptable clinical reports. In
answer to this the editor received a series
of articles signed "M. M. W," which he
published in the Gazette, and they there
attracted the attention, admiration and
commendation of the Faculty for their
undoubted ability, clearness aud force.
Consequently, the prize wag awarded
to fM. M. W.," but the editor was rather
more surprised than delighted to find that
"M. M. W ." were the initials of "Mrs.
M. M. Webs'tek, a recent graduate of
the Women Medical Colltgv of Penn-
tylranta.
The peculiar feature cf this story is
that while the Gazette was publishing
these admirable articles of "M. M. W."
its editor was filling opposite columns
with arguments against the ability of wo
men to properly treat just such subjects
as "M. M. W.," was writing upon to the
admiration and praise of the entire medi
cal profession.
We have one word to say for the edi
toron making the discovery of the iden
tity of M. M. W., he frankly, fearlessly
aid gracefully acknowledged that he
was wrong and the women are right.
Apropos Miss Mary Putnam, a daugh
ter of tho publisher, George E. Putnam,
New York, has graduated as a physician
at Paris, with the highest certificate that

Thb Difference. The point of dif

no right to recognize the Confederacy as

that England failed to act in good faith
toward a nation with whom she was at

The Editor of tho New York Sa
dard has lately been on to Louisville,
Kentucky. He writes thus of George
D. Prentice :
"We stood in tho room where Prentice
worked and slept a kind of journalistic
monk ; where he cooked his steak on a
ramrod until it was half done ; and baked
potatoes in the coals. We saw the cup
board where he kept his fresh bread and
raisins and nuts ; where day and night
he lived and labored, in the aroma of ink
and dampened paper. We stood by hia
grave on Cave Hill, the greenest and sun
niest spot in all Kentucky sweet, and
quiet and peaceful but a grave quite for
gotten, for no Fton marks his tomb. A
simple, codded mound, with fresh June
roses strangling over it, and only known
to the eyes of affection and friendship, as
the resting place of George D. Prentice."
The Indiana Republicans are now
closing up the payment of a debt of S13,
000,000 which the Democraey saddled
upon tho State while they had posses
sion of its government. Ez.
We do the same thing in Pennsylva
nia the Democrats left a debt of over
por-it million in this State, which
the Republicans have roduced to about
twenty-five millions in nine years, and
paid a war debt of some five millions
more.
The Income tax some time ngo was
repealed, and again reinstated. We did
not notice the latter action, not knowing:
how long it would remain in that shape.
Now, that Congress ha9 adjourned, we
state that the income exemptions have
been raised to two thousand dollars, and
the tax reduced from 5 to 2 per cent.
Sentenced. The United States Dis
trict Court at Canandaigua, on the 13th
inst. sentenced the Fenians, General Starr
and Col. Thompson to two years im
prisonment iu the State Prison. The
Canadians are rejoicing.
The Mormons of Utah have turned
their attention to the production of gloves
that rival those of Paris in delicacy and
workmanship. The gloves are made
from'genuine kid, raised in the viciuity
of Salt Lake.
The biggest thing Chicago has on
hand is its debt. Forty-seven millions is
the sum total of it.
It is now stated that artificial ice
can be manufactured for a quarter of a cent
per ponnd.
