WILL NOT ADV.VM'fi TE CAUSE OF
S&AY1EY.
New York:, May 10. Advices
from Gen. Grant to April, repre
sent a very anxious feeling through
out Asia respecting restrictions of
Chinese emigration to America.
Grant's response to the address of
Chinese merchants at Penang, in
which they ask his "powerful in
fluence in their hehalf to advocate
the removal of those restrictions,
and thus restore the intercourse
between the two nations to its
former footing," wrs a very
de
emed remonstrance against me
contract system, which he declared
to be slavery. On that point he
said: "Americans will naturally
feel strongly. Jt was in order to
free one race from slavery that we
fousht a lonjr war. After the ter
tible sacrifices made during that
war to free the negro, it could not
be expected that. Americans would
consent to the revival in another
form of slavery, in which the Chi
naman was the victim." He said
that this w;is the objection on the
part of the Americans to Chinese
immigration. In other respects
thev had none but the kindest feel
ings toward the Chinese people, I
And who would extend to them, if
the' chose to make their home
with us, the welcome they extended
to the rest of the world. In his
address he does not once allude to
the prejudice against cheap labor
nor to the peculiar sentiments of
California. lie doubted, and no
one could but doubt, that in the
end, no matter what agitation
might for a time effect at home,
the American people would treat
the Chinese with kindness and
justice, and not deny to the free
and deserving people of that coun
try the asylum they offer to the
jest of the world.
Distress in Cashmere.
Incompetency, Corruption, Want
of Orsnization, etc., Added to
famine and Iisires.
The Head of a Governor Threatened
by a Mutinous Mob.
Simla, May 19. News from
Cashmere is very bad. The in
crease of distress and famine join
ed to incompetency, corruption
and want of organization on the
part of the officials, is producing a
most serious state of affairs.
Cholora in Peshawur is threaten
ing to raise an obstacle to the
prompt withdrawal of troops from
Afghanistan. The disease has ap
peared in most of the cities of
Punnjaulb and Dacoity, and rob
bery by an armed gang is assum
ing alarming proportions in the
Deccan, and especially in the
Poonah district For some time
past bands of Dacoits have been
fccounrinic the country and com
mittnio dannff attacks on houses
and villages. They seem to form
a part of the regular organization
under the command of one Wassa
uo Bulland, lately a clerk in the
financial department. They are
suspected of having set the fire
which destroyed the government.
Kchool. Bodaar palace, law courts,
postoffices, police office, and fifty
houses in Boodah on the night of
the loth inst. In their remarkable
manifesto to the Bombay govern
ment, the' threaten another
mutiny, and to cut off the head of
the governor unless distress is re
lieved. They inform the govern
ment that unless an extension of
public works is at once opened,
employment provided for the
.n.eorjle, native traders encourager1,
taxes reduced .and. salaries of high-
IvpaM Europeans cut down, they
win not cease 10 pitmaer; anu avui
extend to the Europeans what they
have hitherto confined to the na
tives. They will ki'l the governor
of Bombay and hang the judges
of the court of sessions.
ISIisoclIaiieoiis.
Panama dates of the 10th state
that the troubles in Cauca are vir
tually ended. Garces, former
president of that state, and all
party leaders who were associated
with him in tiie late revolution are
prisoners of war.
On the ISlh the ironclad Tri
umph and her consort the Opal,
sailed for San Francisco from Vic
toria. They will remain at San
Francisco about two weeks, and
will then proceed to the seat of
war in South America.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg
on the 19th tells of another town
in flames in the east,-Petropaulaus-ki,
in Siberia. This is about the
15th place destro3red by fire in
that portion of the world within a
month. The planets are getting
in their work, it seems.
General Pejifo has announced
his intention of executing Gen
eral Marulanda aud several officers
captured at the battle of Aguadas.
on the ground that they prolonged
the revolution against the gov
ernment after they had lost all
hope of success, lie lays down
the doctrine that blood uselessly
shed mnst be avenged. Several
Mexican officers captured recently
in the ranks of the revolutionary
party in Honduras will be tried by
court-marshal and shot.
