Not long this question, and-for the first. time s Pragya to. Congress, calling . attention to tly after, in 1862, a iow WIG I earthing 2s the importation of Chinese for a term _ of years; a project for which Democrats, under thelead of Coffroth, attempted to obtain the sanction of law in this 'thate. ‘This law of Congress prohibited the bringing of any persons to the Uni ted States under sugh contracts, and thus restricted the coming of Chinese to those who sere voluntary immigrants. Matters passed on, and the ex‘istence of this law. was almost forgotten, when the Memphis Convention met, and with General Forest and such leaders, started upon a project to bring Chinese into the United States, in drovesiof from 5,000 to 10,000. Democratic Conventions in the South, and Democratic organs North and South indorsed the project, and Southern planters congratulated themselves upon the fact that they were to have a new Bystom of slavery. Mr. Boutwell cited the law of 1862, a Republican measure, and orueres the Collectors of Customs to enforee it by preventing the landing of all vessels eh On board Chinese emigrants of this clase, It is algo stated that th he immigration on the Pacific coast will be investigated and restrict ed by the administration. Now the matter between the two parties stands thus; Democracy by treas ty and Democratic law brought 60,000+ Chinese to California. Only three attempts were made by Democrais to ex—. clude them, .Two of these were declared unconstitutiunal by Democratic ‘Courts, amd the only remaining one strikes at all other foreigners as well as Chinamen. The Republicans found 60,000 Chinese in the State, and memorialized Congress to interfere. . Congress passed the law of 1862, and this law is now invoked by tlie ddministration to prevent their importation. Which is the best policy to seeure this end, and upon wich party sheuld laboring men rely? It ie manifest that the question has been more intel figently and effi-: ciently dealt with by the ‘Republican party. WiLLiam M Gwin, Ju.—The Dem. beratic nominee for Senator in Cudaveraz, is William M. Gwin Jr. the soa ot the .ex-Senator from California, aud late Duke de Gwin, of of Mexico.

The Chicago Tribune ‘iia “We do not believe-there: is “gumption” enough in Porkopolie to send a com~ mercial excursion tothe Pacific coast, nor is there apy business interest that required it. BRaTHER StexP.—The pay of a mem~ ber of the Legislature, for a session of one hundred days, is one thousand dollars, and the small item of mileage. Is it not patting it’om rather heavily, says the San Francisco Cali, the assessment by the Demucratic Committee, of thrée hundred ana fifty dollars fur each can~ didate to pay? . Can the Committee expect its nominees to be faithful and honest in the Legislature, if they com~ mence by taking from them more than one-third of their pay for the honor of & nomitintion; leaving the canilidate to ‘expend the other two-thirds in advance of getting ‘it, in trying to secure his election? They say that the only ques. tion be, “Is he competent, is he honest ?” If he is, honest, they seem to ing his honesty, by making him bankrupt before his election. And what is there in the office ot Harbor Commissioner, that the candidate for that. pdsi~ tion should be assessed two thousand dollars? Is it perquisites, or is it some~ thing else, on which this amount is the discount in advance? To ‘Some persons entertain the opinion that both the Justices of the Supreme Court to be elected in October next will hold office for ten years, but it is very unsafe to vote-on that theory and print the ballots with the natnes of “Lorenzo Sawyer and 0. ©. Pratt for Justices of Ake Supreme Court.” The ballots should state that Sawyer is “for the full term” and Pratt “io fill the vacancy.” The full term and the vacaucy Judgeships are two distinct offices, and the law dows not provide for any drawing of lots or other mode of distinguishing which of two Justices elected sliould take one position or the other. “By making the proper distinction on the ballot all danger of trouble will be avoided. Tug Same OLD Cry.—The Nebras« ka Democracy has taken up the cry of the Calitornia Democracy and shout out great is Diana of the Ephesians.

This is the second attempt that has, within a few weeks, been miade to } do injary t0 the road, and to cause a sacrifice of so many lives. a Gone Home Kesvicine,—About a month since a statement went the newspaper rounds that a man residing in Nelson, Ohio, had placed Five-Twenty bonds to the amount of $3,300 in a zinc box, which he buried, about the middle of June last, some fifteen inches below the surface of the earth in his meat house. Soon afterward a fire was kindied in the meat house for the purpose of smoking the meat, which he was not aware of until several days afterward, when he dug the box ap. On opening it he found only a chatted mass within, Having deplored bis loss for some time,” hié ‘concluded to go to Washington and see if the charred remains could in any manner be. identified, and on the 7th he arrived at the Treasury Department with bis box, and he was gratified to. see that the mass was recognized as bonds of the issue of March 3, 1865,just such as he. had received, and he was immediately reirabursed to the full amount, and he went on his way rejoicing. Deatu or Jas. ea dane Line en, a Scotch poet of some fame, and an old resident of San Francisco, died in New York a few days since. Mr. Linen published three volumes of poems and miscellaneous writings,and contributed te the literary journals of California. His poems were written in the Scotch rdialect. “Take back the ring, dear ‘{ Jamie,” “I feel I’m growing old, dear wife,” “By the spring,” are among his productions. Mr. Linen leaves many warm friends in California. During the Jast few years the path of the old poet was roughened by financial reverses, but he has gone to his rest, and left enough behind to keep his memory green through generations. to come. He was bora in Scotland, and died at the ripe old age of three score years and ten: “THe Gettysburg battle field has achieved new distinction from the late
discovery, that it was the scene long since of a ‘bloody struggle between the Indians, or some utknown or extinct race. This fact is attested by the exs amination of the military implements of the combatants, such as arrow heads, battle axes, war clubs, shields, ete., and the remains of the dead in what is known a® the Indian Field, about a mile southwest of Round Top and of the National Cénietery; These relics are found thickly —imbedded in the goil over the whole area of territory which was the scene of the rebel defeat in 1863. ee LAND PaTENTS.—A land patent, for 160 acres et land, was recorded in the County Recorder’s office yesterday,from the Government of the United States to Benoni Thompson.
