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.

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.

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.

“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

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.
