Sound Sense from Blaine.
In the letter of Senator Blaine
in reply to reflections made by
William Lloyd Garrison upon
senators who voted for the bill res
tricting Chinese immigration, pub
lished in the !New York Tribune
on Monday, calmly and forcibly
reviewing the whole question, and
conclusively justifying his vote,
we find one paragraph, which is as
follews:
The talk about China closing
her ports to our trade is made on
ly by those who do not understand
the question. Last year the total
amount of our exports to all China
ports outside of Hongkong was
but 6092,000. I have called Hong
kong a Chinese port, but every
child knows that it is under Brit
ish control, and if we were at war
with China to-day Hongkong
would be as open to us as Liver
pool. To speak of China punish
ing us by suspending trade is only
the sujnrestion oi aense ignorance.
We pay China an immense balance
in coin, and probably we always
shall do it but if the trade ques
tion had the importance which some
erroneously attribute to it I would
not seek its continuance by per
mitting a vicious immigration of
Chinese coolies. The Bristol mer
chants cried out that commerce
would be ruined if England per
sisted in destroying the slave trade,
but history does not record that
England sacrificed her honor, bv
yielding to the cry.
We hope that his answer will be
read by every person in the land
capable of putting a proper
construction upon the English
I&mruaoe. The above is but one
of the many points which he makes
-ia Ins letter.
Southern Claims.
We aTe -surprised to see the
southern press so -"firey" because
Mr. Bragg, a democratic member
of the' house of representatives
took occasion to make the remarks
which he did recently in debate
upon the southern claim business.
'The Charleston News goes for him
after the style of a mad man.
Among other .things it says:
Such a blunder could only have
been committe& by a man so blind
ed by prejudice as to be incapable
of discerning the truth, or even
Siis own paTty interests.
And further remarks that, of the
'claims, etc.,
In ninety-nine cases out f a
hundred the claimants are traitors,
spies or liars, and there is mo ex
cuse for the southern democrat
advocating them, except that the
money will indirectly benefit his
.section by being spent here.
Looking at this anatter from an
independent standpoint, such as
The Astoeiax occupies, being
sieither bound by party ties nor
sectional prejudice, we consider
-that Mr. Bragg is entitled to credit
from the honest side of the south
ern confederacy for having stirred
up these questions so that they
may be disoussed and fairly under
stood. A few days since we copied
.a sensible article from a Georgian
paper upon the subject, and in the
Vicksburg Herald of the 24th ult.
we find the follewinjr:
As to getting money out of the
treasury, whatever we are justly
entitled to we want. We won't
quarrel about the claims of so
called southern loyalists; but we
YH quarrel with Mr. Bragg and
Other northern men -of .both parties
if we do not soon secure some sort
of an equalization of -Rational aid.
We claim that the north has re
ceived a trtidue share of national
aid, and that .now it is but justice
for some Hfctle help to be extended
to the crippled south. For hun
dreds of reasons that have been
given hundreds of tin&es, we want
help to build a railway across
southern soil to the Pacific. Be
cause it is just and proper we want
help to improve the navigation of
the Mississippi river and to reclaim
the Mississippi valley. The south
asks these things not as abeggar, but
because she believesshe is entitled
to them. If Mr. Bragg and other
northern democrats are so opposed
to these measures of justice as to
refuse them with a snub, they
must not be astonished if leading
southern men seek them through
other party affiliations.
Suit to ba Commenced.
The Bee is informed that the
charges of the investigating com
mittee against ex-Secretary Chad
wick, are to be tested in the courts
at no distant day, as a suit is to be
brought in the name of the state
against him for the delinquencies
charged in the report. This is of
course the way to settle the matter
to the satisfaction of the public,
and if any vindication can come to
Secretary Chadwick it must be
gained in this way. If the courts
exonerate him he will be above
attack, and until they do, no vindi
cation can avail. The public will
await the issue of this trial with
interest.
