MACON, FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1SC9.
.• The Chinese Puzzle.”
We copy from the San Francisco Bulletin a
report of another and important stage in the
progress of the great Chinese problem in Amer
ica. We may remark, in relation to the devel
opments of this article, that a remarkably hos
tile feeling already exists among the whites in
California to these Celestial immigrants of both
sexes. In fact, it has embittered to such a de-
gree as to threaten a war of races, insomuch
that the philosopher of the New York Tribune
has felt himself called upon to protest in the
name of God and humanity against plots and
designs for the extermination of the Chinese,
which he hints are rife on the Pacific shore.
Every thinking man will.see in this grand ad
vent of the Celestials upon onr western coast;
the establishment of a new point of historic de
parture in the American future. The landing
' of these swarms of Chinese women puts a new
phase on the whole immigration movement, and
changes it to a grand campaign of occupation,
under which, in a very few years, the Pacific
States will substantially pass into the hands of
Bulletin to show, that the Chinese in California
already number men of capital among them,
and with their indomitable industry, sharp in
tellects and frugal habits, the Anglo-Saxon will
be no match for them in the race of accumula
tion. They will grow in financial power as fast
as they increase in numbers; and the ratio of
their numerical increase by immigration will,
of course, be prodigiously accelerated by their
growing wealth. They will control California
probably in less than ten years, and California
itself will become but a way station in the on
ward march of Western colonization by the
Chinese.
The account of the Bulletin shows that this
female immigration bears all the most odious of
the Coolie trade, and the women are, in fact,
bought and sold.
The Indiana Imbroglio.
The telegram announces that all the Demo
cratic members of the Indiana Legislature who
resigned, in order to leave the Legislature with
out a quorum and so prevent the passage of the
fifteenth amendment, have been re-elected. This
will enable them to bring the Legislature to
terms. They will compel it either to adjourn the
decision of the question to the next session and
so give the people an opportunity to pass upon
the amendment, or they will resign again and
leave the government to be carried on without
an appropriation hilL The Radicals in Indiana
will therefore be forced to concede the postpone
ment, and beyond this the extraordinary opposi
tion of the Indiana Democrats will not go. If the
people elect members to the next Legislature who
will support the amendment—well and good. But
the Indiana Democrats are right in demanding
that this amendment, before becoming, by con
sent of Indiana, a part of the Constitution, shall
he passed upon by the people in the election of
a new Legislature.
Alrican Barbarism.
A chapter 1 in African barbarism is now open
ing all over the country which is compelled to
arrest theattention of the American people and
supplant, for a time, the. operations of the po
litical outrage manufactory of the Southern
Radicals. Tho blood fairly curdles at the hor
rid crimes wo are compelled daily to record-
committed by the blacks upon yrhites and upon
persons of their own race and color—crimes,
the unexampled atrocity of which is as wonder
ful as themeagemess of tho temptation—the
paltriness of the inducement to commit them
crimes so bloody, sensual and beastly as to jus
tify hesitation in admitting a bare recital of
them to the columns of the newspaper press.
But it is duo as well to truth as to public and
personal safety that the people should see what
dangers threaten the lives end persons of tho
defenceless, and the necessity of on extreme
caution against exposing those under their pro
tection to liability to such horrid outrage.
The truth is, the restraints and the discipline
of slavery were necessary to keep the unedu
cated African within the pale of civilization.
Ho is a sensualist by constitution. To passions
and appetites much stronger than those of tho
white race, he adds a very small counterbalance
of the intellectual and moral faculties. His
in+ttnimnuM does not extend to comprehending
to see a legal sanction inflicted. He could un
derstand a fine—imprisonment—the whipping
post, or the gallows. But it may well be doubt
ed whether tho moss of freedmen are at all re
strained from crime by tho apprehension of
punishment, which may possibly reach them
through the slow process of a preliminary ex
amination, indictment and trial by jury. That
is something too far off and too uncertain to act
as a detergent. Massa’s whip promptly admin
istered was a far more efficacious restraint than
the law ever can be, though it inflicts, in due
season, the penitentiary or the gallows. In this
situation, stuffed with ideas of his equality with,
or, in fact, superiority to the whites, and di
vested to a certain extent of those social and
moral restraints which formerly governed him,
it can be readily seen that the more brutal and
ignorant are often but little safer than wild
beasts or lunatics. The smallest provocation—
the slightest temptation, may lead to any horrid
crime. Examples of this fact we reported yes
terday ; two more are related in our columns
to-day, and but a few days ago an intelligent
little white girl was brutally butchered, near
Macon, by a negro woman, to obtain possession
of three dollars and twenty cents, in order to
buy cakes and candy with the money.
Such events as these are bound in time to
open the eyes of people. They are occurring
in the North as well as the South. A horrid in
stance was narrated yesterday in Chambersburg,
Pennsylvania, and they frequently happen in
the North and West, wherever the emancipated
freedmen have found their way. They are
practical illustrations oi tho absurdity of the
dogmas of negro equality, and will, in time, it
is to be hoped, bear fruit in better sense, better
legislation, a more prompt enforcement of it
and greater precaution on the part of the whites.
Emma and Martha are both of highly re
spectable parents and are relatives. After
Needham bad confessed these hornd enmes he
was asked why he did it? His reply was he
aid not know-only the devil got into him.
Needham is a copper colored mulatto, about
nr , rears old, about five feet eight inches m
height and weighs in the neighborhood of one
hundred and forty pounds. He was a man much
inflated by freedom nnd had a bad character for
honesty, but in other respects had excited no
particular notice or apprehension.
Northerners Coming to Georgia—On the
steamer Charleston, which left New York yes
terday for the city of Charleston, says the
Chronicle and Sentinel of Wednesday last, we
learn by telegraph, was a large number of
Northern people coming to seek homes in Geor
gia, Sonth Carolina and Florida. Let them, and
just as many more as will, come. For Georgia
we tender them a cordial welcome, and feel as
sured that if they come to this State they will
have no cause to repent their choice. In any
section that they may choose to locate, whether
they come as emigrants to labor, or as invalids
in search of health, they will find an abundance
of fine land at fabulously low prices, and be re
ceived with that kindness and hospitality for
which the Empire State of the South has been
so long noted.
The Aie-Lute Railroad.—The Atlanta Con
stitution says, we visited the Air-Line Road yes
terday, and found the work progressing with vi
gor and dispatch. Hands are actively engaged
in excavating earth to make several large fills.
The road was fortunate in securing the services
of such men of unbounded energy and vim, as
Messrs. Scott, Bondurant and Adams. The cul
verts (and their name is legion), are being con
structed by Cousin John Thrasher. Everybody
knows that Cousin John never half does a thing,
so the mere fact of his having charge is a guar
antee that they will be done. Ere November’s
blasts are heard, the first twenty miles of the
road will be completed, We consider the “Air-
Line" a fixed fact, and bound to go through.
Who Has Lost a Male ?
Vienna, Ga., March 25, 1SG9.
Dear Telegraph: On Monday last, Mr. Lilly,
of this place, went out into the woods near
town, to see to his hogs. Whilst ho was attend
ing to his hogs, a negro man came, leading a
mule through tho woods, nnd inquired for the
Hnwldnsville road. Mr. Lilly directed him how
to get to that road by going through town, which
he seemed unwilling to do, and appeared anxious
to go round town. Mr. Lilly intimated to the
negro that there must be something wrong and
that he thought it probable that tho negro bad
committed some crime and was running away,
whereupon the negro fired his repeater at Mr.

From Atlanta—Anotfaer Dodge by Dr.
Bard, of th^ Hew Era.
Atlanta, March 25.—Tic following is a synopsis
of an able argument by oaa of’the ablest jurists of
tho South—sincere and wthout reproach—a mem-
ber of Georgia’s Legislatire-a Republican, and a
determined supporter of I Grant’s administration.
It will appear in to-morroi s New Era:
Ho says: I consider the fifteenth amendment a
Republican measure. It wjaproposed by republican
Congress—wa3 warmly urfod by President Grant, a
Republican President, iniis inaugural address, as
tho best solution of remaiing questions growing out
of the reconstruction polirof Congress, and is right
in itself, and settles tb suffrage question and
makes it uniform all oyr tho Union; entertained
these views, and consideid it the duty of every true
Republican to support it fit was the duty of the Re
publican members of th (Legislature to take hold of
it with energy, as a Repulican measure, and invito
Democrats to come npo it as an administration
measure. Many of thenvero ready, in honest good
faith, to have done so. tins would have been tho
first step to harmony ad good understanding be
tween Republicans and (at wing of tho Democracy
which is willing to give on. Grant a fair trial and
support his administratb. if as Aviso and liberal as
all are now satisfied it dl be. But to my astonish
ment and regret, I sooifound this was not tho line
of the State administrion.
Gov. Pollock withhd tho amendment from the
ojcgioiauire as Jong jla he could do BO without cre
ating too much seiiiion. Finally, when he could
not bold it longer ti trout an untruthful reply to in
quiries of both Ruses, he sent it in, accompanied
by the message md recommending its adoption.
The message wtia characteristic document on the
line of his onoiea. and was clothed with such
language and nlfl with such expressions as might
reasonably bo ejected to give Democrats firm sup
port, as they id expelled the negroes from their
seats. He tatted them with liis construction of
the amendmem which he said would, if adopted,
give the negroi the right to hold office and reseat
them.
He knew thj was the surest way to frighten
them from the upport of the amendment. Bullock
intended to dre tho Democrats from its support,
and opposed rivately its adoption. Whilst re
commending ibublicly, to satisfy tho authorities
at Washington,|io did everything possible, by him
self and liis oihials, to defeat it. The fifteenth
amendment in/Ae House was a plain and simple
resolution of aoption, adopted by 49 Democrats for
and 48 agains'it, few Republicans voting for and
against it, thi balance of the Republicans dodging
or refusing tl vote.

Havana, March 23.—Twenty-five insurgents,
mostly of high rank in the rebel army, were
captured and executed within five leagues of
Trinidad. The situation in that quarter is more
serious than it hitherto had appeared. TheEco,
a newspaper of Matanzas, professes to have re
ceived intelligence that Florencio Jiminez, a
rebel General, has presented himself to the
Spanish authorities to receive pardon. He says
that other leaders, members of the revolution
ary junta at Villa Clara, will follow his example,
provided their lives be spared and they be guar
anteed safe conduct, to some port from which
they may sail from the Island.
The Nassau Herald reports the capture of the
American brig Mary Lowell, at. Ragged Island,
by a Spanish man-of-war. The brig, at the
time of her capture, was in the possession of
the British custom-house officers, on charge
that she was carrying arms and supplies to the
insurgents in Cuba.
The British war steamer, Cherub, has sailed
from Nassau for Ragged Island to investigate
the affair. The Havana Government is fully
advised of the conduct of the commander of
the Spanish war steamer.
The Peruvian monitors remain at Ragged
Island. During the voyage one of the rams
broke loose and ran into the steamer Havana
and sunk her. Several of the crew of the Ha
vana were drowned.
The New General.—General Sherman is now
trying his hand to stop the biggest leak in the
Treasury—the army. He is shelving all idle
officers, dismissing useless soldiers, breaking up
unnecessary camps, and petulantly snapping at
every man who remonstrates with him in carry
ing out these wholesome measures. It would
be a good idea to muster out the whole force
with the exception of enough to take care of
public property. This army costs us fromseven-
ty-five to one hundred million a year.

has at last agreed npon a form of government.

Grant is tired of Congress already. At an
interview the other day with the President, one
of the Military Committee of the House said
he thought Congress would not be long in ses

I think an early adjournment is the very best
thing Congress can do.”

Tho Horrid Knrder and Outrage near
Drayton.
Editors Telegraph : While traveling between
Byronville and Drayton, in Dooly county, Ga.,
on Tuesday, the 23d, and upon coming to tho
residence of Mrs. Moat, at C o’clock in the af
ternoon, I met three gentlemen oi >^y
ance, two of whom had guns. Upon inquiry,
they informed me that they were looking for a
colored man who had cut the throat of one child
and gagged another.
At the residence of Mrs. Brown we learned
that the body of the child had been found and
the murderer caught. We went to the spot
where the child was found. Its throat was cut
about four inches. The sight caused feelings of
indignation which can scarcely be described. I
there met Mr. Stansel and family, who related
to me the circumstances of the outrage as fol
lows :
The murdered child, Martha Holland, was an
orphan, eight years old. Her father and mother
are both dead. She had been left to the foster
ing care of her half brother, Mr. John Holland,
who, desiring to send her to a school in the
neighborhood, rather remote from where he
resided, made arrangements to board ber with
a gentleman by the name of Holder, living
about one mile from the school house. Mr.
Henry Stansel also sent his daughter Emma,
about twelve years of age, to the same school.
Emma passed Mr. Holder’s every morning and
calling for Martha they walked to the school to
gether.
Mr. Stansel had a negro man in his employ
by the name of Needham, who worked npon a
small farm near where Mr. S. resides. In pass
ing to the school house, the little girls had to go
through a long lane. It seems the negro had
gone to a field near it that morning, with his
plow and mule, but without doing any work,
waylaid them in tho comer of the fence. This
was on Tuesday morning. When the girls ap
proached, he seized and carried them to the
woods, threatening that if they hallooed he
would kill them. The younger child, Martha,
being much frightened, did halloo, when the
brutal beast stabbed it in the throat. Emma
says Martha groaned once and died immediately.
Needham then tied Emma’s wrists and gagged
her—putting a stick cross-wise in her month as
far as ho could, and securing it in that position
with a string tied to each end of the stick.
After this he takes the body of Martha—car
ries it about fifty yards, where there had been a
number of pine poles cut for building a house,
and put her body in some of the pine tops and
covered it with others. Ho then returns to
Emma, and takes her (still tied and gagged) to
within thirty yards of where he had placed the
body of Martha, to another parcel of pine tops—
tied her to a sapling and covered her with other
tops, in which condition she remained, in inex
pressible agony, from about eight o’clock in
the morning until between four and five o’clock
in the afternoon, when she managed to pick the
string to pieces with which she was tied, and
though exceedingly frightened, fearing the de
mon would discover her if she moved, yet be
lieving it would bo death if she remained, she
determined to attempt an escape, and actually
succeeded in reaching the residence of Mr. Hol
der with the gag in her mouth, which she could
not extricate until Mr. Holder cut the string and
took it from her.
After this, she started for home, accompanied
by one of Mr. Holder’s daughters, and commu
nicated the appalling facts to her parents, and
told them she knew where Martha’s body had
been placed.
The neighborhood was aroused, and some
of the people accompanied Mr. Stansel and
daughter to the scene of the outrage, while
others started out in search of Needham. It
was not long before Needham was found, hiding
in some broom-sedge, near where he lived.
He started to run, but was overtaken and com
mitted, and yesterday was on his way to jail in
Vienna.
Emma says: that after she was tied Need
ham returned three times, she thinks to see if
she was still there. The last time he left was
about twelve or one o’clock.
It was ascertained that during the afternoon
Needham went to one of his colored neighbors
(a ditcher) to borrow a spade. The general
opinion is that the use he intended to make of
the spade was to bury both victims. He prob
ably intended to kill Emma that night, and then
i to bury the corpses of both the children.
Diabolical JIurdcr.

however, he soon managed to make his escape. 1
Officer Oliveira followed him into a swamp, and
succeeded in arresting him a second time, and
turning him over to the same parties from
whom he had escaped. This time he was se
curely manacled so that it was impossible for
him to escape; officer Oliveira then took the
train and proceeded to Station No. II, where
he reported the facts to the Coroner and Dep
uty Sheriff of Clinch, who proceeded forthwith
to Station No. 12, the Coroner to hold an in
quest, and the Deputy to take charge of the
prisoner.
It seems that Mary Mack, tho mother of the
mnrdered children, who claims to be a widow,
has been living with Mnckall for some time, and
that recently she abandoned him nnd came to
Savannah, leaving her children on his hands,
and that his object in poisoning them, was to
rid himself of tlie expense and trouble of sup
porting them. Tho boy was four years of age
and the girl three. Many of tho citizens who
witnessed the children in the agonies of death
were so exasperated that it was with difficulty
that they could be prevented by cooler heads
from executing summary justice npon the fiend
in human form.—Savannah Republican, 2Uh.
The Missing United States Marshal.—It is
now considered no longer a matter of doubt that
— Dickson, United States Marshal for Georgia,
has absconded and gone to parts unknown. The
general impression here, how received we know
not, is that ho has gone to Cuba, bnt we doubt it.
After diligent inquiry, we have been wholly
unable to learn to what amount the Government
and private parties have suffered from this de
falcation ; the loss is generally believed, though,
to be quite heavy. Those who are best acquaint
ed with his business affairs and course of life do
not believe that he took any considerable sum
with him. Between several losing enterprises
and fast living, very large amounts, considera
bly beyond his income, were doubtless absorbed,
and the day of reckoning approaching without
ability on his part to respond, he considered it
prudent to leave the country. His official bond
is signed by two of tho “solid men” of Savan
nah, and calls for twenty thousand dollars, be
yond which his indebtedness will prove a total
loss.—Suvannah Republican.
Power or tbe Class Interest.
New England, with a population less than the
single State of New York, has more influence in
the government than half a dozen such States.
In the arrangement of the Standing Committees
of the Senate, the following chairmanships are
given to that section:
Foreign Relations—Sumner, of Massachu
setts.
Military Affairs—Wilson, of Massachusetts.
Appropriations—Fessenden, of Maine.
Pensions—Edmunds, of Vermont.
District of Columbia—Hamlin of Maine.
Public Buildings—Morrill, or Vermont
Auditing Committee of Contingent Expenses
—Cragin, of New Hampshire.
Printing—Anthony, of Rhode Island.
Thus, out of twelve New England Senators,
eight of them are made chairmen of important
committees—such as the foreign relations, mil-
itaiy affairs, appropriations and pensions. In
truth, it would seem that New England is now
running the Senate of tho United States. As the
Cincinnati Enquirer says, “ it has been so ever
since the Republican party came into power, and
will be so long as it is retained in it. New Eng
land is tho head nnd the West the tail of their
organization.”—Tallahassee Floridian.
Fight in Mississippi.
Memphis, March 22.—On Saturday night a
skirmish took place near Batesville, Mississippi,
between a body of disguised men and a squad of
United States soldiers. After sharp firing the
maskers fled, bnt were pursued and one of their
number captured, who proved to be Jesse
Rhodes, a citizen of Panola County. The mas
kers had threatened to lynch a negro in the
neighborhood, and the commanding officers
sent a detachment to protect him. The par
ties met in the woods, and a collision ensued.
Rhodes was sent to Vicksburg, yesterday, in.
irons.
Bbownlow’s Thieves and Assassins. — The
Avalanche’s Brownvillo (Tenn.) special, seven p.
m., says a hundred militia arrived there yester
day. After pressing all the horses in town, they
started for Woodville, where a squad of militia
was fired into a few; days since. It is feported
that to-day they destroyed a store, and then had
an encounter with some armed men, by which
the militia lost fifteen killed. This is not fully
confirmed. Considerable excitement and anxiety
prevails there. Business is entirely suspended.
Welcome to Tennessee.—The Nashville Ban
ner welcomes a colony of eighty Pennsylvmia
farmers to Tennessee. They brought their
fanning implements and will settle near Tullfe-
homa.
Georgia—Governor Bullock and His
Friends.
A writer in the Washington Republican gets
off the following in regard to Georgia matters.
It should not be forgotten that the .Republican
is a Radical Republican paper, and speaks tbe
wishes and sentiments of a large number of the
Republican members of Congress :
“It appears clear to me that Congress will not
separate until after having remitted Georgia to
a territorial or provisional State government
under entire military domination. I have never
seen men more sick of their friends than are the
Republicans of Congress just now of Governor
Bullock and his immediate supporters in the
Georgia Legislature, who have, in acting on the
proposed fifteenth amendment to the Constitu
tion proved themselves quite as unreliable as the
adopt the fifteenth^ amendment, and this was . rebels of the v.,dy, and quite as unworthy as
thought to be a propitious time to settle tbo whole ■ they to be intrusted wr the management of tbe
t£uoo«t,—. jt a n, Ilepul.K-o^ measure, and Re- p u i,ij c of any portion oi tne people.
publicans had no excuse lor voting against it.
Tne whole question is. that a few desperate Rad
icals, who want things in their own hands, look with
great interest to his trip to Washington, and that,
backed by Attorney General Farrow, they can make
President Grant do as they please, and thus shatter
the frame-work of reconstruction and destroy peace
and harmony. Thousands now support the general
policy of Grant who were heretofore opposed to
him, and they consider the reopening of the re-
conststruction question the greatest misfortune that
can befall Georgia.

A Darned Claim ou Grant.
A Washington dispatch to the New York
World says:
It is one of the most anomalous and romantic
incidents connected with tho hunt for place here,
that in this city, at tho present moment, look
ing for an office, are members of a family liv
ing just out of St. Louis, who knew Mr. Grant
several years ago, when he used to haul wood
from tho city to tho farmers in the suburbs.
Tlio plea special which they putin is that on one
notable occasion Mr. Grant carted some fuel to
them, and that the mother of the household
called him in the back kitchen and carefrdly
darned a considerably dilapidated overcoat of
the then teamster and now President. Since
then the family have met with reverses, and
and hearing of tho “great American gift enter
prise” set up in this city since March 4, have
sent on several of their number for an office for
the husband of the lady who sewed the histor
ical garment several years ago.
Preparation for Whitewash.—Whitewash
is one of the most valuable articles in the world,
when properly applied. It not only prevents
the decay of wood, but conduces greatly to the
healthiness of all buildings, whether of wood or
stone. Out-buildings and fences, when not
painted, should be supplied once or twice a year
with whitewash, which should be prepared in
the following way:
Take a clean, water-tight barrel or other cask,
and put into it a half-bushel of lime. Slake it
by pouring water over it, boiling not, and in
sufficient quantity to cover it five inches deep,
and stir it briskly till thoroughly slaked. When
the slaking has been thoroughly effected, dis
solve it in water, and add two pounds of sulphate
of zinc and one of common salt; these will pre
vent its cracking, which gives an unseemly ap
pearance to the work.
If desirable, a beautiful cream color may be
communicated to the above wash, by adding
three pounds of yellow ochre; or a good pearl
or lead color, by the addition of lamp, vine, or
ivory black. For fawn color, add four pounds
of umber, Turkish or American, the latter is the
cheapest—one pound of Indian ted, one pound
of common lampblack. For common stone
color, add four pounds of raw umber, and two
pounds of lampblack. This wash may be ap
plied with a common whitewash brush, and will
be fonnd much superior, both in appearance
and durability to the common whitewash.

Athleticism, pursued with so much devotion
in the English schools and universities, is now
becoming the subject of severe criticism in the
English journals. Young men, it is asserted,
go to the universities professedly to read, but
instead of attdhding to their books, pass their
time in rowing, cricketing, running, jumping,
throwing hammers and “putting” weights. Ath
letic sports are practiced to an extravagrant ex
cess, and time and money wasted, while the op
portunities of acquiring a finished education are
lost. Not only are the ordinary courses of poli
tics and contemporary history beyond the knowl
edge and interests of these muscular young
students, but the young men, it is asserted, grow
up to manhood painfully simple and loutish.—
The hardening, vulgarizing effects of athletic
amusements, pursued beyond the point necessa
ry to preserve health, it is contended, are visi
ble in the rising generation of Englishmen. A
disagreeable coarseness of thought and aetion,
it is stated, is impressed upon the young men
of the schools and universities, and accompanies
them through life.
Fire at Dawson.—The Journal of yesterday

originated.
Chinese Women.
Soio they are Imported into San Francisco—
Harder* and Abductions Consequen t upon the
System.
From tbe San Franc inco Bulletin. March 10.]
Within the past few weeks there have been
several cases in which Chinamen were assassin
ated by men of their own race, and only last
night a man was shot and desperately wounded
by another Chinaman. The courts have recently
had several cases of conspiracy to murder, ab
duction, assault to Mil, etc., before them, and
some are still pending, in all of which Chinese
‘ are parties. In each instance, tbe troublo has
grown out of the strifo among these people to
obtain possession of Chinawomen brought over
in large numbers on each steamer from Hong
Kong. The pertinacity with which the quarrels
are kept up, and the outrageous acts of violence
which have resulted, demonstrate the deep in
terest which these people take in the matter,
and should suggest to our local authorities the
necessity of dealing with it according to some
plan which has not yet been tried.
The scheme by which the system of importing
Chinawomen is carried on is an exceedingly
complicated one, and yet it rests on a small
pivot here. Some time since, it will be recol
lected, the six Chinese companies combind for
the avowed purpose of preventing the importa
tion of Chinese girls and women for the pur
poses of prostitution. The managers were
shrewd. They knew the value of a moral sup
port in a community like this, and set about
to secure it The plan on which they were to
work was published, and the police authorities
were enlisted to assist them in canning it out
On the surface it all seemed right; it appeared
to be a very commendable and effective plan for
getting rid of or checking a monstrous evil.
In reality, however, it is nothing less than a
cunningly devised scheme to effect precisely
what was pretendedto be opposed. Cargo after
cargo of females, mostly young, came over.—
Some of them had relatives here and reached
them, bnt the rest were “consigned” to certain
parties here who had bought the in China, while
others were sold here to any who would pay the
required price. An average consignment was
worth to the Chinese from $4,000 to $5,000.
From the lot a few would be selected and sent
back to China, to show the Americans that the
plan was a highly moral one and deserved their
support. Bnt dissensions and jealousness arose
and the writ of habeas corpusvns invoked. The
decision of the Fourth District Court exploded
the entire system, and reduced the traffickers
in women to the necessity of prosecuting their
business by the old methods, which, still illegal
as the other, had not the outward appearance of
a moral movement in aid of Christianity and
general social viatne.
The original plan was to kidnap, maim or kill
and that is the plan which is now being acted
npon with bloody consequences. The shrewd
conductors are enabled to a certain extent to
use and abuse tbe processes of law for their ne
farious purposes; and when these fail they do
not hesitate to resort to murder for the accom
plishment of tho same ends. "Whatever crowd
or combination of Chinamen get possessio nof
the women who are being brought here monthly
in such large numbers make no difference.
They are all alike anxious to realize the profits
of their sale, and they are large. So lucrative
is the business, notwithstanding the little draw
backs of conspiracy and assassination which are
encountered, the chiefs are enabled to hire
white men to go to the steamers and assist
them, paying them from $20 to $100 for their
services.
Some time since one Chinaman established
himself in China for the purpose of shipping
women like cattle to this port. His name was
Kum Cook. The branch house here encounter
ed obstacles. Four women whom he sent over
were taken away from bis wife by the aid of
several regular policemen, and they were sent
away. At the present time it appears that a
man named Ah Fook enjoys a monopoly of tho
traffic, and by shrewd means, on the arrival of
the last steamer, he procured the aid of officers
of the law to get and keep possession of his large
consignment of females. He first caused it to
be whispered in the ears of Chief Crowley that
certain parties were going to the steamer dock
and would fight ten possession of the women un
less a posse were sent down. 1’Uey were arming
and there was great danger of a riot. Tho facts
proved that a riot was threatened, and it was
only by chance it did not occur. However, men
were stationed at the gates, and a Chinaman, in
order to get through to the steamer must have
tho Mail Company’s pass with the mark of Ah
Fook, “C. A.” on it. Some who did not have
that indorsement were turned back. The result
was that thre6 hundred and ninety-six China
women were hauled off tho deck in baggage
wagons, like so many calves, and taken to the
various alleys designated by tho head importer.
Toproveat a successful combination of hisrivals,
he divided the cargo into three parts, and they
were discharged simultaneously at the places
pointed out by his agents.
The man Ah Fook is very successful But he
he is in mortal fear from his enemies, his rivals
in the trade. They held a meeting recently and
authoritatively offered a reward of $1,000 for
his head, and $500for that of each of his agents.
An assassin was procured who undertook to
shoot him; but, as it proved, killed the wrong
man. They agreed to pay all the expenses of
his trial if he should he arrested—if sent to the
State prison $100 per mouth to defray extra ex
penses, and they bound themselves to send his
family $100 per month in the event of his being
hung. Men who attended this meeting were ar
rested and examined on a charge of conspiracy,
but the court dismissed them. At once word
was sent to Ah Fook that he must leave the city
or they would butcher him; and they openly
declared that before the sun shone to-day they
would have killed some of his gang. He has a
body guard constantly. Part of tho time it con
sists of Chinamen, at other times he is protect
ed by a guard of policemen. He does not stir
from his room alone.
True to the threat of last evening, during the
night two Chinamen—Chun Chun and Ah Mow
went to the door of Ming "Wing, one of the par
ty of Ah Fook, on Jackson street, and called
mm out of his room, saying they wanted to
rent a room from him. He stepped out, saw
who they were, and turned to go into the room,
when Ah Mow shot him through the body, in
flicting a dangerous, perhaps fatal wound. They
ran out, flung the pistol into the street, and es
caped. This is the last development in the
case; bnt the people may rest assured of one
thing, the evil described is making rapid pro
gress, and calls for some extraordinary measures
for its suppression. It will not do for the lo
cal authorities to become indirectly and inno
cently participants in tho horrible traffic. We
fail to see why the Chinaman who obtained the
396 last sent, had any legal or moral right to
their custody, or why only his friends were ad
mitted through the gates on that particular
business.
One man was engaged by a Chinaman to go
by the last steamer from China and procure him
a female. The man is a lawyer, and the China
man agreed to give him $100 for the job. We
are not informed whether he succeeded. Still
another attorney was offered the same price for
a similar purpose, and we know of a half a do
zen or more other Caucasians who are of so
much importance in the estimation of Chinamen,
and of so little of their own, that they have re
ceived or been offered pay to assist in the work
of properly distributing Celestial females to the
“consignees.”
A Photograph from fife.
the widow cliqdot.
From Don Piatt, in the Cincinnati Commercial.]
In this hasty sketch of the lobby I mnst not
leave out the more prominent figures found in
the gentler sex, who lend their charms to facili
tate and felicitate Congressional justice. I at
tempted a sketch of the powerful but delicate
and subtle influence that has mode itself felt
here. Let me give you, in a few words, a more
prominent one.
The lovelier half of an animated creation af
fect the Capitol. At all hours the tide of wavy
folds and bright colors ebbs and flows along the
beautiful stairways, or gathers in eddies about
the corridors, or settles for a brief space in the
galleries. When an unnsual number appear,
like rows of bright flowers, in the last named lo
cality, the handsome Conklin g, or the fascina
ting Windom, or my bandit of a Logan rises to
bis feet and pours out floods of eloquence on the
question at issue, being generally some question
of order and of intense interest to tho fair, ones
above.
These are mostly belles of Washington and
visitors at the capital; but dotting them at in
tervals are ladies we come to know in time, as
the fringe work of the lobby. They press claims
with more or less success, some by their beauty,
some by their tact, and some through sheer per
tinacity.
That tall and rather handsome, and a some
what overdressed woman, with tho bright eyes,
aquiline nose and prominent chin, fair, fat and
forty, is the widow Cliquot—surviving relic of
the once gallant Maj. Cliquot, who departed
this life in the most heroic manner, in the Quar
termaster’s department—leaving as a legacy to
his dear Maria a slight defalcation of $10,000,
To recover this from the Government, the dis
consolate widow come to Washington, and met
with such success that she remained to help
others and enrich herself. She has a loud, clear
voice, a ready laugh, a coarse wit, and the im
pudence of his Satanic Majesty. While she
carries the larger part of her business by as
sault, she holds on without conscience or prin-
ple.
It is not long since that whispers went about
of a little scandal managed by the widow. She
has, generally, a younger creature under her
control, who is more shy, fresh, and therefore
more attractive than herself, and when the
coarser charms fail, it is said she puts forward
her little ward.
A gentleman of high official and political po
sition was once ass enough to be turned into the
widow’s net by this bait, and being a prominent
man of family, did a very silly thing. He be
gan with bouquets and little presents, and .pro
gressed with little notes on to long letters, until
one bright day he found the cold shoulder given
him by his youthful charmer, and received the
fearful intelligence that his’ infamous conduct
was known to the protector of this child-like in
nocence, and that all his letters were in the
hands of this dragon of virtue.
The unhappy Solon did not know whether to
commit suicide, get drunk or run away.
The surviving relict of the gallant Major
softened. She advised the poor man. Ho was
to repent, mend his ways and settle a handsome
sum, in h’er hands, upon the child. Whether
this advice was followed or not, they had peace,
and the gay widow came out resplendent in new
furs, more “moire antique,” fresher velvets,
and no end of stunning jewelry.
Moral—Don’t try conclusions with the Widow
Cliquot.
A Characteristic Order from Gen. Sherman.
The Washington Express publishes tho following
paragraph under the caption of “An order not
to be executed:”
Gen. Sherman has an indifferent opinion of
the morals of the “Federal City” and their influ
ence on army officers and men. An officer re
cently called to confer with him as to the break
ing up of Lincoln Barracks, near the city, and
asked him what he should do with the property.
“ Burn it, bum it, sir 1” said Sherman, impetu
ously. “ General,” said the officer, “ please put
your order in writing, and I will obey. ” “Bum
it! bum it!” again exolaimed Sherman. The
officer asked his written orders therefor, when
tbe General asked what was its value. He was
informed that it was worth $200,000. “Well,”
said Sherman, “the fact is, this city is a bad
place for soldiers, and I want to get them all
away from it. You had better put it up for sale
and dean the thing oat quick.”
Subsequently, Gen. Emory called to ascertain
what orders he had for his department. “ What
department?” inquired the Commander-in-Chief.
“ The Department of Washington,” said Emory.
“Bustedup; busted up, since yesterday; am,
going to get all the troops out of the city.”
No Danger.—“Mack 1 ” the Washington cor
respondent af the Cincinnati Enquirer, differs
from General Frank Biair in the opinion that
Grant will declare himself dictator. He says :
“When men talk with fear and trembling of a
military dictatorship, or a Cromwell or Napoleon,
I tell them there is perfect safety against Giant’s
ambition in Grant's mediocrity. There is not a
' Napoleon to the square mile of suoh men, nor a
; Cromwell to fifty generations of them. ”
An Execution at Constantinople.
Another rare sacrifice to justice occurred re
cently in a street near Ak-Serai. The victim
in this case was a Musselman Albanian, named
Hassan, who, about a fortnight ago, violated and
then murdered a woman at Scutari. Ho had
entered the house, in a lonely quarter of the
Asiatic suburb, in the daytime, and finding tho
woman alone, perpetrated his double crime,
and afterwards decamped with wbat light
valuables he could carry off. The police, for a
wonder, succeeded in tracking him, and, as he
was identified by some one who had seen him
enter the house, he finally confessed the crime,
during his second or third examination at the
Zaptieh. From the first there was no chance of
his escaping capital pmishment, but his sen
tence was, as usual, concealed from him till the
last. The execution had been delayed for some
days, owing to the difficulty of finding a gipsy
—the usual finisher of the law in Stamboifl—to
undertake the job for the modest fee offered by
the authorities. The Zingaree, however, hold
ing out for better pay, a policeman was at
length induced to do the work, and, without pre
vious hint of his fate, the murderer was Tossed
from his sleep at sunrise on Wednesday marz-
t g to go down, as he was told, to a steamer for
ile to Trebizonde. On reaching tho spot se
lected, the party of police escorting him halted,
and the first intimation the wretch had of his
fate was the question if he desired to say his
prayers. He replied in the negative, and the
executioher then advanced and attempted to
throw a looped cord over Ms head. Manacled
though he was, he resisted for some minutes,
struggling fiercely, and screaming in a manner
which, early as the hour was, speedily gathered
a crowd into the previously empty street. At
length the cord was got round his neck, and, al
ter a further short resistance, he was strangled
into insensibility. This done, the body was
bitched up to a hook in the doorpost of a neigh
boring butcher’s shop, with, the feet barely o£
the ground, and left to die out thus, under
watch of a single zapieth. As usual, there was
no excitement among the spectators, and in less
than half an hour after the murderer was dead
only some three or four loiterers lingered near
the spot About one v. m. the body was cat
down and carried off in a Back for buriaL
