Now, in the first place, we say emphatically that to make these chair coolles call on the following day at Mr. SHARP's office for their wages, with- out extra payment, was a gross injustice, which neither our laws, nor our innate feel ings of fair play and honest dealing will uphold. The

A brisk firing of pistols, began on the outside of the church. "Brother Deacon," said the minister, "I believe those fellows are casting insinuations at me. In fact, I am very nearly convinced," he continued, as a piece of plastering fell from the wall close to his head. "I think, parson, that it refers to someone else," replied the deacon. The minister raised a tum- his lips when the glass fell shattered by a shot. bler of water, and was in the act of applying it to "This is an innuendo no longer," said the minister, wiping the water from his yest; this is what I term an unmistakable thrust.

The latter class of nuisance in this city, but they could not very well be spared from amongst us, being, in many people are undoubtedly, in some things, a great respects, very useful members of society. Although there are numbers of the chair coolie class who would ask for more, even if paid double their legitimate fare, it cannot be denied that the majority of them, when tendered their legul fare, although it may run close into an vehicleand walk off, perhaps murmuring to them. other half hour, generally take up their selves, but without creating anything approaching disturbance. This is more especially the case where the fare is a resident of the colony and well known. The facts elicited at the Police Court reported in your paper yesterday are discreditable to the man and master at whose instance the poor ignorant chair coolies were given in charge, and deprived of their liberty. Depriving a coolic of his liberty may not appear to be a great hardship in the eyes of the public at large and it most certainly is not of much mo ment in the opinion of the worthy magistrate who tried the case, who guaged it at the value of 20 cents for being one night in the lock up, ex- clusive of about half a day lost in looking after the wages earned, yet it is as sacred in the eye the.

Our only regret in the matter is that the Magistrate did not show his pronounced opinion of what bears a striking resem- blance to. bringing a false 'charge against Innocent men, by imposing a very much heavier penalty on the prosecutor or rather complainant in the case.

The affair can be clearly summed up in a few words. Mr. ALTINO MARCIANO hired a chair with four coolies to convey him to Mr. GRANVILLE SHARP's residence at the

wages as any other person, no matter of what rank or position, and is as much en- titled to the protection of the law. Chair coolics may be rather troublesome at times; but they have a great deal to put up with, and considering the nature of their work, it must be admitted that they are not too well-pa'. The custom of em ploying coolies, and then asking them to call for their fares, is manifestly unfair and unjust. In such cases they would, we think, be clearly entitled in law to claim wages for the time thus spent, and it seems reasonable enough on the face of it. With special reference to the case under discus- sion, we think that what appears, from the police court report was, to say the least, very unjust and inhumane treatment of Chinese; and as by Mr. GRANVILLE Congregation will please sing while I go out and community, we think that a few words of er in the house?"

The whittling preacher handed over a large Remington pistol which the insulted preacher took, and drawing one from his belt, started out. After going out there was an immediate improvement in the firing business. It was decidedly more life-like, theomuch that the deacons sat working their fingers. After a while the minister returned, and placing an ear and the nostril and a half of a nose on the pulpit remarked: "He that hath cars to hear, let him behave himself" The sermon then proceeded without interruption.
