The Amount of the Bids for Completing
the Blue Midge Railroad-Character
and Responsibility of the B ida cr *-ls
Governor Scott Interested in the con?
tract t-Information for the People.
COLUMBIA, S. C., Tuesday, July 20.
TO THE EDITOR OP TUE NEWS.
Since the arrival of Tm NEWS of Saturday
containing the expose ot the machinations of
the Blue Ridge Railroad Ring, his Excellency
Governor Scott has been as cross as a bear
with a nore bead. No wonder. It is not pleas?
ant to have a profitable little game hete np to
public acorn; nor is it any consolation to know
that there id a good cbaooe of one million of
dollars (which MB Excellency expected to
make,) slipping through one's fingers. The
whole Radical ring here waa struck dumb with
astonishment when it was found tbat Scott in?
tended to gobbe np so big a share of the party
spoils. The un dei strappers are mad, and
Scott will either have to go enacks with bis
followers or make another contract in which
there will be less room for stealing.
GOVERNOR SCOTT'fl REPLY.
I do not know whetner Governor Scott in?
tends to attempt any reply to the questions BO
pithily pnt by THE NEWS. Ton might have
Bared yourself the trouble, in any case. No
one can disprove the main allegations of my
previous letter; ont in order to satisfy some of
the Quid Nunca here, I will say a few wards m
regard to the amount of the bids of the differ?
ent contractors, the responsibility of the differ?
ent persons offering to do the work, and the
reasons why I charge Governor Scott with
having a pecuniary interest-direct or indi
root-in the contract awarded to Cresswell (or
Cries vii I, I don't know which) Patterson and
Sellers.
* THE BIDS.
I have before me, as I write, a detailed
statement of the price at which each part of
the work was proposed to be done by tho dif?
ferent contractors. This yon can have if yon
want it. At present, I will only give tbe gross
amount in round numbers of each bid :
J. M. Chr'Biy * Co.$10 200.000
Dudley, Bardwell & Co. 9250,000
Cresswell. Sellers ? Co .. :. 10000.000
D. Tyier 4 Co. 8 7&OOU0
J. A. Bunt. 8 250,00?
B.D. HasellJi o. 7600000
J. D. Champlin ?Co. 8 SOO OOO
Eogineer'e estimate. 7,900 000
These ar3 not the exaot figures, but they are
near enough. Now, I contend that Christy's
b.d was only put in to be higher than Cresswell
& Sel'era' bid. It was offered by a Dlr. Kelly,
representing Christy ? Co., who, a ft or the
Bing wae exposed, was charred to his face by
Mr. Champlin with being "interested" in the
bid of Cresswell A Sellers. Kelly appealed to
Colonel Low, chief engineer of tbe company,
to say whether Christy's bid was not a bona
fide one. Colonel Low made no answer. Kelly
than dented -that he waa "interested" m Crem
well and Patterbon'a contract. A few minutes
before he had told another gentleman tbat he
had an interest tn CressvxWs contract. So
much for Christy.
As I have already said, the amounts given
show the original bids. When Scott told the
contractors that the bonds must not be touch?
ed and that money must be found to carry on
the work for nine or twelve months, those who
bad not been in the secret (that is all but
Crees wei I A Co.) claimed the right to modify
their bids. All of them put in second bids,
except B.D. Hasell, who joined in with Champ?
lin. The second bids ran about ten per cent,
higher than the first bids, except Champlin'e,
which was Increased very little, if st all, leav?
ing it by far the lowest offer, ??lind yon, all
the contractors ware now on ?he same footing.
Bot what did Scott do ? He deliberately pro?
posed to Cree <well A Co. to take tbe contract
st about $9,000,000, and they consented to take
it. Here are the naked facts. The work, by
chicanery and double dealing, is given ont at
$9,000,000, sad 1 assert here, and it cannot be
gainsaid, that the whole work can be done, and
done well, for SEVEN MILLIONS cash, or BEVIN
AND A HALT MILLIONS m first mortgage guaran?
teed coin bonds. There is about iwo MILLIONS
or DOLLARS pr J fi t to be made as the job stands.
What will be Scott's share ? As hts time is
short and he haB other irons in the fire, (State
bonds, bank bille, land Bales, Ac.,) he may be
satisfied to take only A MILLION ! Who will
now say that Scott is good for nothing ?
As Cresswell A Co. reduced their bid from
$10,000,000 to $9.000,000, a corresponding valu?
ation must bs made in the charges for iror,
Ac, contained in my first letter. Tbis would
bring the iron down to about $120 per ton
ONLY $30 A TON MOBS THAN THE PRICE AT
WHICH IT CAN BE DELIVERED AT ANDERSON.
There is a proportionate difference in tbe
oharge for chairs and spikes, which will stand
at twelve cents and thirteen and a kai/ cents a
pound, costing about FIVE AND A HALF CENTS in
New York.
WEBE THE CONTRACTORS RESPONSIBLE PERSONo?
- I will tell yon all I know about the firms
which offai ed to do the work.
Ot the finn of D. Tyler A Co. General Tyler
is the head, and it was represented by his BOO,
who was formerly Superintendent of the Macon
and Western Railroad aud lately of tho Phila?
delphia and Erie Railroad. G?ncral T\ 1er has
for many years been connected with public
works as a contractor. Mr. Edgar Tnompson,
President of tho Penu.vlvaoia Central Rail?
road, has generally beeu onuectel with Gen?
eral tyler, and would, it is believed, have been
interested in the Blue B.d/e contract.
J. A. Hnot, of North Caro.ina, is said to bo
highly responsible as a contracto.-. He v.as
present himself, and was also represented by
Major G ul. ck. of this place. Colonel Child.*, of
ibis city, can, I believe, give a Bali.-factory ac?
count of Mr. Haut end tbe large iu.cre?ts
which he repres?uts.
B. D. Hasell, now of New York, is a nativ *f
Charieatou, bud comes trom one of tho t
families m the Si ate. Gu leaving college Lo
chooso tho profession ot civil engineer, and
has for more thaa twen<y y^ars boea connect?
ed wit h railroads a?d other public works. Mr.
Hasell was Chief Engineer of the Qatncy and
Toledo Bauroad, Chief Engineer aud General
Superintendent of tbe New Orieaus, Jackson
aud Great Northern Railroad, and of tbe Mem?
phis and Ohio Railroad, and during the war
waa Presideut of the Charleston and Savannah
Railroad. For the post two years he has
been Goueral Aeeut of the Great Southern
Freight Lino via Charieatou, S. C. Mr. Hasell
bas tbo highest testimonials, is a first-rat-c
engineer and can mike as close an estimate of
tue value ot work ss un j man in the con itr>.
Ho had good backers io New York, and coald
have given security for twice tbe amount of ibo
contract. I am told positively that Air. Bnseil's
bid was rejected because "it was BO much
lower than the other b.ds." I eiy that it was
rejected because Scott w as not a partner in the
concern.
J. D. Champlin has been a railroad contrac?
tor for many years. He built the Memphis
and Ohio Railroad, did considerable work in
Louisiana, had a heavy contract on the North
Missouri Railroad, and is now carrying out a
large contract in New Jersey. He brought
letters from prominent bankers in New York
and had a letter of introduction to Governor
Scott from General Sherman. No use. Dr.
Scott was not in the shop.
The only persons of wbom I can learn but
huleare J. M. Co ns ty A Co., and Cresswell,
Patterson & Sellera. They are believed to be
Pennsylvania men. As I said, Christy's bid
was a mere blind.
1 think I have made it very clear that there
were four responsible contractors who offered
to do the Tork at from $1 OOO OOO to $1.500,000
leas than the price at which it was awarded to
the Pennsylvania firm of Cresswell. Patterson
A Co. This ie enough for ta; purpose. It is
not necessary to rob it in.
ANOTHER REASON WHY.
One big teason why Scott preferred Cress?
well to any other man, I forgot to mention.
Mr. Champlin proposed thar the $4 000,000
guaranteed bord? bi leposi ted with a N ttional
trust Company in the North, so that they
could not be touched by the con tr ictor or the
Governor until the proper time came. Cress?
well A Co., on the contrary, said that they
were willing that the $4.000 090 should be lodg?
ed in the bands of Governor Scott and State
Treasurer Parker. Cresswell A Co. look the
contract.
WHY SCOTT ITC ST BE A PABTNEB IN THE CON?
TRACT.
I have not seen the documents, and do not
know what the figures are, but I say that
Scott is to bare a plum ont of the Blue Ridge
p e, for these reasons: The work conld be
d me and was offered to be done at seven and a
half mil 1 ions, and was awarded at nine millions;
Cresswell A Co. wero allowed to negotiate with
Scott, while the other contractors were not;
Cresswell A Co.'s bid was not accepted, but
Scott told them they conld have the job at niue
millions, and they took it; DO similar opportu?
nity was given the other contractors; Cresswell
& Co. were in constant communication
with Scott, and squatted in his back of?
fice the dav the bids were opened; lob?
bying, whispering and riding abont with Cress?
well & Co. was going on all the time. These
are my reasons, and they satisfy me, as I be?
lieve they will satisfy the people of the Sute,
who remember the manipulation of the State
bonds and the bills of the Bank of the State,
and who know that there is only one way io
wbioh a man can make hundreds of thousands
of dollars out of thirty five hundred dollars a
year. Who would not b: the Radical Governor
of a Southern State ?
FIAT JDSTTTTA.
I hare said my say, and said it withoot mal?
ice. Ibis whole government is a plundering,
pilfering Ring, whose aim is to make money
quick, no* matter how. I koow it, and yon
hnow it. My only object in writing these let?
ters is to show np one or the biggest j o os on
reeord-a little brother of the Pacific Railroad
job; and to ask whether even our present Le?
gislatura wifl a lo w Scott to have toll awing,
and pile upon the State a load of debt which
no people can bear. 1 do aot believe that their
stomachs will stand it, and if this be so,
then will Cresswell, Patterson A Co., and
their silent partner, come to unmitigated
grief. The taxpayers must remember that
every million of dollars we spend represents
$70,000 a year in taxation. They can readily
see that $10.000,000, for the Bine Bidge Ring
means an addition ol fifty per cent, to our pre?
sent taxes, lhis is the whole matter in a nut?
ehell.
The Phoenix to-day, pitches into Scott very
handsomely. I leave to-morrow for the moun?
tains and shall not be back for a fortnight,
when, if necessary, I will again present my re?
epects to his Excellency Governor Scott.

THE HABET FAMILY.
Trouble Brewing nt Washington-A
Chapter ot Interesting Political Gos?
sip-Boutwcll TS, ihe President.
A Washington letter of July 15th, to tho Cin.
cinnati Commercial, says :
We may or we may not like it, bot it is nev?
ertheless a fact, t but a tempest is Known io be
brewing in the admin sttative cir .-les. 1 am
going to tell yon wuat is said among those who
are classed as Radical Republicans, with my
inference as to the weight that may be placed
on their testimony.
In the first place, it is considered that the
President bas altogether too much sympathy
with the reualt in Virginia ; that he prefers
too openly the success of Sen ter io Tennessee,
ol Hamilton i i Texas, and especially of lient,
his brother-in-law, iu Mississippi. I hoard an
active Radical Bay to-day, that the administra
tion's policy was to secure the elimination ot
the negro from national politics by adoption of
tho pendine I'd teen th Article, aud leave uim iu
thc native wh'te bands, so far us local State
affairs are concerned.
lt would appear that Governor Boutweil ie
opposed to this. Ho is the outspoken R idical
in the Cabinet, and ull who know him well un?
derstand that he is a man with definite pur?
poses, and clear and decided intentions of car?
rying them out it that be possible; and of not
being used to carry out any other line ot poli?
cy, ii is affirmed mat tue point is re icu ea
where the latter alternative is to be seen ap?
proaching.
Governor Boutwcll is undoubtedly very much
dissatisfied with the resulto: the Virginia elec?
tion. Hu has strained his influence to tho
utmost to prevent the carly ordering of an
sleetiOH in Mississippi, which could terminate
only io a new Walker triumph. It is not that
the Radicals object so much to Walker lum
sef, uti they do to those i ho elect him. It ia
rea-ouauiy concluded mat if the niau, bouy of
supporters are irom tho rebel Democracy, then
the State administration must bo strained tor
then' bauolii,. oo with regard to tuc caudiuacy
ot Louis Dent aa Governor of Mississippi.
He will, like Waiker, be m the niaiu eustuLeu
only bi thu old rebel ii fi umc s.

Radical, und by bia iutimaio knowledge
ot tho t>onth hos bsen able to secure Rad.cal
appointments there ia most caaes where they
have had nothing to do with the Methodi t
Cnurcb at least, lt is r- ported that Governor
Barnwell told Judire Dent that he proposed to
run the Treasury, at le^st aa long as he was at
iis head; and furthermore that bc looaed
suspiciously ou ali political movements tliat
fen it ?KCc.-sLry to prefix some word otb.r
than waa adopted b.v tue pariv itself to the
title of ibo Republican party. It this was said,
it was certainly a neat drfve at thc National
Guion Repub ican porty of Mississippi, wuich
is the orgau.z.uoa by whom Judge Dent has
beet trotted out.
lt is also reported thal at the last two Cabi?
net nieetin-s Governor Bou well has taken oc?
casion to express himself in the Btron.eot
terms in raver of -ustuini. g Republicanism
pure and simple iu all the Southern S ates und
as being remarkably su-oicious of all move?
ments that pandered, nuder whatever guise, lo
the rebel vote and support..
So much I deem to bj truth in all the ra
mors I have outlined in the foregoing, and
that is, that Mr. Boutwell declares that what
influence the administration can give, legiti?
mately, ?hall be extended in ali State elections
to the Radical Republicans; while General
Grant desires neutrality, unless the patties as?
sume positions of active brat iii ty to. and equal?
ly as active support of tho administration. All
thia may seem speculation, and of an idle
kind, but it is the cloud no bigger than a man's
band in its risine. which threatens at last to
overshadow the heavens. There are lbose
who predict the resignation of Governor
Boutwell before Congress reassembles.
THE CHIN AM AIT AS HE IS.
The New Element ot Labor In Califor?
nia and the Wes -An Interesting
Picture by an Intelligent Observer.
The San Francisco correspondent of the Cin?
cinnati Gazette writes :
Wbat of the Chinese ? Much that is inter?
esting and important. There are in round
numbers one hundred thousand of them in the
Pacific States, and the new arrivals now aver?
age from fifteej hundred to two thousand per J
month. They abound as laborers along the
whole of the Central Paciflo Railroad to Pro?
montory Point, and over this distance have
pushed off into the towns as servants ai?d
tradesmen, and into the mines wherever allow?
ed to come. They are spreading eastward
slowly; there are a few m Omaha, and John
Chinaman, with his round bat and pig-tail
coiled under it or dangling between his heels I
his long hine shirt which he wears over his
blue pantaloons, will shortly be no curiosity
in the mississippi Valley, fie ia on bu way
in force to make bis fnture Eastern employ?
ers a visit.
CUTS A TO WS IK SAN FSA NC 18 CO.
Chinatown, as tbe quartet ol tne city in
which the Celestials live is called, is certainly
one of the most interesting spots to visit in
California. There are abont a dozen blocks of
w hose four sides a warm with them, and a halft
dozen euee s for a distance of several squares
are filled with their stores and shops. Nearly
all are dressed alike, in long bine overshots j
and pants. The round straw hat is, howe er, I,
rapidly being abandoned for tbe American felt, j
and the peculiar clogs and eboes for our j
boots. The higher class of merchants wear a
similar dress in style, of a dark and fine cloth, ,
and tbe rank and station is Bbown by the j
length and thickness of the cue. Tbs ladies ]
may be clad to know that these citizens Of the I :
Fiowsry Kingdom bronght with them the arl
of wearing the most deceptive additions into ;
their bair, so that no matter what the crop is ?
the ladies can have waterfalls of any given
size, and the men of standing even cl any I,
given lei gtb. Through all these streets, flam
in;, red and yellow handbills, covered with i
columus of their peculiar characters, tell these I
multitudes of Bales and cheap goods, of letters 11
and new arrivals, ot tbeatres, and where labor?
ers are wanted. 11
THE CHTNESB a*BUCHANTS. , I '
Every store has its Chinese sign and most I :
of them are English ones also. Chy Long & I J
Co. are ol i merchants of wealth and standing,
so are Hip Yik and Hip Wo. I hey sell silks 11
and ivory goods, inlaid work, teas, Chinaware J
ttbleware, groceries, cigars, and the coantlese
other articles which are included in the name i
..curios." Their word or bond is good as gold I

Lee, Hip Ho, and otber firms with similar I <
names, make you cigars, mend booie, or do I
y ar wasbing and ironing, their market stalls 11
abound in articles which Americans know L
little about.
-.** HOW THE CHINESE COME.
Six years ago tbe emigrat.ou began in earn- :
est. Before there had been only enough on
tbe coast to make them more than a curiosity. I .
They cam? quiet ly, and engaged in such labor
aa they coola obtain. They worked fer a trifle,}
were temperate, industrious, honest and re?
spectful. They became popular, and conse?
quent inquiry for them aeon increased the
Bupply. Tbe numbers which answered the
call created alarm among the classes whiob
had previously monopolized labor, demagogues
caught at the opportunity of pandering to tho
lower classes, and began to denounoe the new
comers. From that time John has seen
trouble enough. But bis friends are rapidly
increasing now, and be bas already obtained a
foothold from which he cannot be driven. He
is here, and his friends and neighbors are
coming. No power in America, as our laws are
constituted, and considering tbe demand for I
his labor on the whole coast, can drive bim
back even if any considerable number of re?
spectable citizens should desire to bid him
good-bye.
TEZ CHATTED OF THE DEM AOOOCES.
The fact is, there is not such a widespread
prejudice against the Chinese as Eastern peo?
ple have been led to believe existed in Califor?
nia. Tne large majority of the respectable
people of both parties consider their presence
a blessing. Politicians, or rather the unscru?
pulous demagogues among politi nans, have
caused most ot the trouble. To secure the
tupport of the most reckless and vicious por?
tions of the population, they have framed un
just Jaws, and winked at outrages and abases
which are a disgrace to the State. Against all
this. John, by hie skid, patience, exemplary
conduct, indus1 ry, and moderate charges for
labor, is slowly but steadily working his way.
JOHN PROTECTING HIMSELF.
As the State refused them protection, they
formed companies to aid and, so far as possi?
ble, to protect eaoh other. There are now six
o? th?s? io San Francisco, each under the di?
rection of Chinese merchants of weal h, cul?
ture and standing. The directors of these
companies have a common place of meeline,
aud their organization is complete. Tbe ex?
istence of these associations has given rise to
the story that the Chin amen who were brought
over were really bold in a kind of slavery by
these corporations, and that they were actual?
ly bought and sold like slaves. There is no
truth in this. The companies were formed as
benevolent associations, aud in uo respect do
they depart from their original design. Each
company represents a certain district in China,
and all who arrive havo the opportunity of
joining the particular ODe covering the placa
from which they come. Eicli is free to be?
come a member or not, as he chooses. Thc
fee of membership is ten dollar*. For this he
receives assistance from the directors and their
agcuta in obtainiug emplovm 'nt; he ts taken
into tbe company's lodgiog-houseB and board?
ed free, or at> a very email expense, till be ob?
tains a place, and whenever he leaves or loses
his situation, or comes in from the farms or
mines, he finas a free lodging placo, and a hos?
pital in case he is sick.
THE PATJPEB CHINAMEN IN CALIFORNIA.

Vf H AT JOHN CAN DO.
California is blessed wi ll co d ard rich soil
au J charmine climate. Ita resourcja are be?
yond computation. Ita best citizens speak ol
these, and then say that of all t heir blessings
that of Cuiuese labor is ono of the greatest.
Tho whole bumoets ind commerce ol the ?tate
was langui-hing b?cause o: tue tc.trcity of
laborers. Bu just in the time of croaieat need
relief came. Women were few ia California,
bi'u-e servants could bo found fjr tue wealth?
iest alone. But John arri v jd and. though bo
knew notbinc of Amencia housekeeping or
c lokinc, he learned both airaos'- with a single
lesson. But for John tho facific Railroad
would bave been delayed three years. As aa
ariist with shovel or drill, whe (barrow and
cart, he has proved himself unsurpassed. He
is temperate, has uo rows, is not al homo in a
riot, has fe iv holiday a. boards himself, cooks
bis own food to his liking, do:s bia own wash?
ing, keeps h.mselisc upulouily clean, ia alwa>B
respectful, contented and j ivis). He is above
all other .-lassea a must uselul aud pleasant
person tob ni.I railroads with.
ALDINQ TO THE NATION'a WEALTH.
Such a i eople are an acquisition m a great
country needing development, even il tbev re?
ceive what wLites demand for similar services.
Bnt when the question of cost presents itsolf,
the value of labor appears in a new and impor?
tant light. Speaking in liberal terms, Chinese
lAbor costs only one-third as mu :h as white
workmen demand. Now, if they receive only
lair treatment, ia there any limit to tue supply?
China is crowded to overflowing with its popu?
lation. We cannot stop the inroad if we would.
Looking to the great undeveloped West, which
stretches beyond the Rocky Mountains, the
best men in both parties in California regard
the promise for labor with rejoicing. Farmers
are employing them io all directions. Silk
colt are is opening, and cotton and rice and
tea, it is confidently believed, will be hereafter
raised successfully.
The yield of gold and silver will be vastly in?
creased the rdoment capitalists can succeed in
securing Chinamen admission to the mines.
With the present price of white labor, mmes
which vieil less than about $20 to the ton can?
not be worked. There are inexhaustible mines
already known which will produce from $7 to
$20 to the ton. With Chinese labor, all rock
which produces $7 per ton eau be worked with
profit. It can be faintly seen what advanta?
ges to the whole country would flow from snch
a change in mining.
As yet it is impossible to introduce these
people into the great mines, though they are
gradually making headway. Where a white
miner abandons his claim if h's daily receipts
tall mnch below $4 or $3, a Chinamao thinks be
ts making a fortune if he secares seventy-five
cents.
TSOn EDUCATION AND PAGANISM.
Ninety-eight per cent, of those that come
here can read and write their own language.
&lost ot them are rapid in figuring. Th ir
shildren learn our language rapidly ; the
parents with difficulty, thongn they soon man?
age to acqmre a stock of words and sentences
which answer their purposes. They show a
(treat anxiety to send their children to school
where English is taught, though as yet few
facilities bare been given them, for while they
pay full school taxes, they have as yet been
furnished but one school house for forty pu?
pils. As a class, there is none so law- i biding
not even tbe Americans - and none m re
honest. They pay all taxes to the government
cheerfully ana carefully, and the school tax of
the State, though they have very small returns
Tor the latter.
The State imposes a tax of five dollars per
lapita upon all the land, and some special
licenses, snob as the miners' tax of three do -
lars, the first of which the State has no right
to collect. There are disgraces of this kind
which demagogues have brought upon Califor?
nia, but which the respectable classes do not
sanction, and will rectify before long.
They are idolaters. This is the mo it diffi?
cult point in the whole problem, brill those
who suppose that American civilization cannot
stand against a few thousand or a few mil?
lion Chinese, are borrowing mach needless
trouble.
Contrary to the opinion of most readers, the
Chinaman erects no idol of God. He would no
sooner do this than tho Chnatain. His faith
ls thia : God is good and kmd,- and so merci?
ful that hd will und.T no circumstances do ns
anyth.ng hut good. Bat the Evil One bates
as, and ia ever watching an opp irtnnity to in
I ure and destroy us; we must conciliate him
And so JOBS or Dc vii houses are erected, and
insence burned constantly, and offerings made
io conoihate the Devi).
. * . THIMtt DEAD.
They believe in the sweet influences of de
parted-spirits, that the dead are constantly
around them to watch, and guard, and help.
The; make offerings of food at their graves,
not, aa- is said with tho idea of feeding the
dead, but to show them that they are remem?
bered. Their name for Got! and tor the in?
fluence whion these departed exert is the same
as that which expresses the soft warmth aud
effect of a southern sun failing upon a slope
which lo 'ILS toward the south.
They send their dead home to bury them in
the family Une, so that the chain of ancestry
may be complete, snd the sweet influences
from the spirit would flow through the line un?
interruptedly. If the une is broken by an ab?
sent dead one, the influences are leas regular,
and the wandering spirit is not at rest, and in?
stead of watching to do good, desires to injure
and make trouble in return for the neglect of
his body. Three times a year offerings are
made to departed spirits, and a late Emperor
has decreed that the government make offer?
ings also three times a year to spirits at large,
that is to tue spirits of such aa have died in
battle or have been lost at sea, and left unbu?
ried or not returned to the graves where the
family line is laid.
WHY WEALTH IB MADE FOB CHINA.
lt is charged that thoee who come hoard all
their gold, and take it home, tb ns keeping
mnoh coin ont of circulation. This has been
true. The reason is obvious. The courts ex?
tend no protection; their testimony was worth?
less; they could not enforce contracte; sharp?
ers were continually preying upon them, and
?o they were drivtn to trade with their own
people, and hoard their gold.
But under the encouragement which the
better classes are giving them, all this is
changing. Their merchants are erecting stores
and in Vi sting m real estate. The laborers are
purchasing homes and sending for their wives.
More and more of those who go home are re?
turning, and most of them with friends de - ign
iog to stay. The attentioa of t.ie great Chinese
capitalists of the Empire is being turned to our
coast, and the hope among many of on; best
business men in -san Francisco is that they
will shortly bo induced to take hold of creat
enterprises. The coin of tbe world has been
pouting into China for generations, lu Can?
ton and Hong Kong there are many native de?
positors ot bro and six millions, and many
Chinese companies which could tarnish fifty
and sixty millions to such an enterprise as tho
Pacific Railroad, or to steamship lines, if they
could once be interested in the matter. Chi?
nese merchants soy these men will invest the
moment they can have full protection for their
persons and property under the laws.
