The Daily Transcript, NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 1869,THe PRimanies—The Primaries of “the Union party will be held in accord. . Correspondence, NEVADA, June 6th, 1869. Editor Transcript :—In testimony of . my consistency as an advocate of uni-~ versal “education, I wish to appeal, through your columns, to the. men and women of Nevada, in behalf of the Chinese school of this city, in which I am a teacher. “The existence of such a . r ae oe In the mean time we want teachers. Come, you who desire the goodof the country, the welfare and advancement of her interests, and time will attest the value of your labor. The effort to edu‘cate should be made now. Alrtady in our midst idol worship is_going on. The noise incident to the .“Josh house” importance of missionary labors at home on Saturday, the 10th of July, and on the Saturday following the votes will, be canvassed by the Central Committee. The new plan has been fully discussed, and it is well understood that under it each voter has the opportunity to vote for his preference as & candidate for each office. The nominating power has been taken out of the hands of a Convention, and’the republican’ idea that every man has a right toa voice in selecting oflicers, applied to political parties, giving every member a right to . school is undoubtedly -well known to the-majority-of our people; than whom none enjoy a brighter reputation abroad for liberalizing principles, and yet at the Wednesday evening sessions there are usually not more than ten or twelve teachers'present. The Chinamen, who have been in the habit of attending thirty or forty strong, are rapidly becoming disgusted at the want of attention shown them, and many have ceased eoming to the school. It; to me has seemed somewhat strange that among three or four hundred members—ofvote in the selection of candidates.— This being the case, it is the bounden ‘duty ofl! true Union men to vote at the primary elections, Many good men refused to vote for delegates because “thoy affirmed that Conventions were’ managed by wire pullers. This reason cannot be urged against the Crawford plan, ifthe masses will come out. It is useless to argue that the most perfect system mtty be abused, or by negiO Food men the Union voters of Nevada county de termine that the new plan shall have a fair test in the ensuing election. The candidates who enter the contest, while they are perfectly justified in conducting the fight with spirit and energy, should remember that they are members of the great Union party attached to its principles, and are there‘foré bound to so conduct themselves, that good feeling may exist among them. They propose to submit their claims for-office to the voters of the party, as they have a perfect right to do, and we are confident. though the cativass will be lively,it will be friendly. All. Union. men, should remember that unity of sentiment and attachment to principle are the great elements of strengthin a contest, and even in the midst of the primary contest ,, nothing should be done to lessen or destroy them: Those who attempt it should be discountenanced by the voters. Let the masses recollect that each candidate is seeking their support on the ground that he is attached to the party-and -qualified-for the position. — Every ‘man in the party has the-right to make up his own ticket and should vote so as, to secure for the party 2 good ticket. It is an important matter, and we have no doubt the duty will be conscientiously discharged’ by/ Union men.of the county. DE COMNS s q CHARACTER oF LAND.—The following letter relative to the designation of lands on public surveys will, be inter~ esting to our people: Department of the Interior, General. Land Office, May 25th, 1869. Hon. A. A. Sargent, House of Representatives, Washington, D, C. Sir:— Respectfully referring to your personal callon the 4th instant, in regard to public surveys in Calitorifia, I have now the honor to inform you that agreeable to your suggestion instructions have been issued to the Surveyor General requiring greater diligence on the part of deputies, respecting the ascertainment of the chafacter of lands included in their surveys, which it is hoped may realize your wishes and those of the Department in that respect. I have the honor to be very respectfully, your obedient servant, ey Jos. S. WILson, Commissioner, 2. > THANKS.—The Pacific Union Express has again placed us under obligations for newspaper favors extended this oftice. Every few days a budget of Virginia, Sacramento and San Francisco papers are laid upon our table in ads vance of the mails. —_—— + A MAN recently turned his son out of doors because he wouldn't pay him “houge rent—a striking proof of payrent-al affection. Bee It is unwise to worry about what cannot be helped, and foolish to worry about what can be helped. Therefore worry not at all. we bai A CLERGYMAN in Virginia City remarked: “Yesterday I preached the funeral sermon of a man, and to-day I united his widow to another. . : ee jealled upon . mand and receive Chinese labor. not only to be anxious for the salvation of their own souls, but as well for those of mankind in general, who yearly donate quite. considerable.sums for thé enlightenment and christianizing of churches, men and women who Fratton heathenous idolaters, are found so few willing to teach a Chinese class. This people, who have of themselves. alone attained to a high standing of éxcellence in general knowledge and agriculture, and who, it is well established, are the originators of many of the greatest inventions enjoyed by the present age,and welfhre of. the “poor heathen” has beome proverbial. And, as such is the case,-then let the patriotic, the true. hearted: lovers of the country’ stand ready to give the Chinaman an aid, and they will never regret it. ‘H.

We want to get clear of the Goods, nas ' (F Store Keepers, Retail Dealf4 O long before the time of Guttemburg, seem, particularly in this State; to labor under all the obloquy which it is pos. sible to heap upona people. Prejudice . seems to attach, with the masses, to everything concerning Chinese. Chi~ namen are ifseperably connected, in the popular mind, with everything of evil in the community, are held ‘to be the lowest ef the low in the scale ot human. ity, and fit only for the performance of menial servitude, and—miay not some questions relative to these facts be here appropriately put? What has been the occasion, or what is the foundation of this existent and wide spread prejudice against the Chinese? Have they, in proportion to number, been guilty of more crimes or outrages against law and order than any other people? Have they not, as @ class, proved as tractable and industrious as any other? Is there, to the cool, dispassionate judgment of any one sufficient ground for the pre~ vailing prejudice against them? Why has not the attempt to remove the greatest difficulty under: which they labor, met with more encouragement. The presence of an uneducated or igs norant:class in a community, certainly exercises‘a deleterious influence upon that community, and through patriot~ ism, if by no other motive actuated, every one should seek to uplift and emancipate from the thraldom of ignorance those unfayored-by fortune. I am not the advocate of Chinese éduca= tion in preference or to the exclusion of any other people; but to all other foreigners are the doors of our public schools open. Advantages are extended all other aliens, which .to this most numerous Class, this race destined yet tu wield immense power and overcome great obstacles in the development of our resources, have neyer been granted. Upon the rostrum, I have heard political speakers exhaust their powers of invective, make earnest appeals and attempts at eloquence to prove the Chi. naman not &a man! Appellations of “opium smoking,” “chicken: stealing,” ‘flat nosed and brainless Celestial,” have been bestowed upon him by wholesale, and yet (pardon me for speaking derogatorily of my own people), I have found in asnort experience as a teacher, that the energy with which they apply them‘Selve to the task of learning to read our language goes beyond any efforts I have seen Americans make for the acquiremeat of knowledge ; no race cat surpass them in quickness of comprehenslou OF retentiveness of memory. The Chinese population of this State is large, and is destined to be much larger. Industries and enterprises raps ‘idly springing up will demand, in their infancy at least, cheap labor,’ and the Major portion of this China will be to supply. — Instruetion given the Chinaman now will in a few years more than repay tHe trouble taken. A better knowledge of our manners and customs, 8 familiarity with our theory aind administration of Government,and, above all, an understanding of our religion will make him a \seful, aye, indispensable members orhoxiey In a few short years the hillS and valleys of our State, covered with groves of mulberry trees and tea plantations will deThis isno chimera. Any thinking person, noting the advantages of climate we possess, the richness and adaptability of our soil, and properly estimating the relationship and character of these our embryo industries, will read¥ly perceive this And then, though the sleep of Justice may be long, the time wifi come when from the taxes. paid by.Chinamen Jwill be set aside a Chinese School Fund, and our State attain toa degree of pros. perity never otherwise to be reached. THE Palliser shot walks through all the iron defences of England. It is thought that the impervious target of the future will be gutta-percha. A meeting of 40,000 Orangemen was. held at Dublin on the evening of the 3d inst., to protest against the disestablishment of the Irish Church tyranny. . THE Livermore Pass Tunnel is ex» pected to be finished-about the first of August, when the Pacific Railroad trains will start from San Francisco. Dr. Adelaid Grennan, a single lady, has been appointed Examining Physician of a Life Insurance Company,. of St.Louis. A large accession of busi~ ness is expécted. A MANin Red Bluff pleaded before a Justice that he was not drunk—only dizzy watching the wheels of a’ velocipede. A CHAP says he recently cured palpi~ tation of the heart by the application of.

THE Sacramentoand Yolo bridge is used nightly as a velocipede track. THE following curious sentence, “‘Sator arepo tenet opera retas” is not first-class Latin, but can be freely translated, “I cease from my work ; the sower will wear away his wheels.” It has these peculiarities: First, it spells backward and forward the same ;—seeond, the first letters of each word spell the first word ; third, all’ the second letters of each word spell the second word; fourth, all the third, and so on through the fourth and fifth; and then we find that the last letters of each word spell the first word; the next to the last of each word spell the second word, and so on through. Dr. CUMMINGS says our tribulation is coming Which was foretold by the prophet Haggai: “Yet a littfe while, and I will shake the earth, and the sea ‘and the dry land.” We are in the 'geventh vial, and ‘one shock, startling, terrific, and of huge and uuprecedented proportions, may be looked-for about this time.” , sig Tar cawary bird has been an object of tratfic for five centuries.
