Speaker. I cannot close my remarks without referring to the document published by the Senate. and circulated in this House. purporting to be a speech delivered before the committees of the Senate and House by the attorney for the Chinese. He goes out of his way to denounce all Who oppose Chinese immigration as outlaws and rioters. This unwarrantable attack on the citizens of California was uncalled for. and when he made it he knew that every word he uttered was totally devoid of truth. Our *overnor. exgovernors. judiciary. Federal and State. county and municipal officers. as well as the clergy of all denominations. unite with thegreat mass of the people in opposing Chinese immigration. The general association of Congregational churches and ministers in California at their session last October adopted the following resolutions: -esolved. That we. the pastors and delegates of the Congregational churches in California. earnestly deprecate and unqualifiedly condemn all illegal measures and mob "outrages" upon the Chinese in our land. Rtesolved. That we earnestly recommend to the charches and all good men most zealous and persevering efforts to evangelize those who are and may. be aniong us. Resolved. hat we express it as our conviction that the Burlingame treaty ought to be so modified. and such other just measares be adopted by the General 4overnmeet. as shall restrict Chinese immigration. and shall especially prevent the i. portation of Chinese prostitutes. and so relieve us from impending peril to our republican and Christian institutions. I might also add the testimony of such eminent divines as Archbishop Alomuny. Roy.
