. _Parnties MISREPRESENTED.—The
Hopkins pamphlet, issued in ‘the inter* est of the “Immigrant Union” of San
Francisco says : :
The Democratic psrty in California
is violently opposed to the presence
among us of the Chinese, whose best
friends are to be found in the Republican ranks. At,the East, the Democrats
of the South, accustomed from childhood to the idea of the degradation of
manual labor, and determined to find a
substitate for the labor ofthe freedmen,
are just now in a fever of delight at the
prospect of an abundant supply of Chi~ nese labor.’ z
The mass of the. great Republican
party everywhere seems to favor the
Chinese immigration as liberally asany
other, and this too with especial reference to the doctrine of “manhood suffrage.”
It is needless for us to state to those
who are familiar with. the position of
parties, that the above extract isa gross
misrepresentation of the position of the
Republican party,which by its platform
and its speakers emphatically declared
against Chinese suffrage. The last paragraph therefore is a falsehood, and is
undoubtedly put in to make the “little
bill” which Mr. Hopkins and his friends
have, glide more easily through the
Legislature. It is also a fact which
Mr. Hopkins forgot to remark that both
parties on this coast disagree among
themselves as to the policy of permitting unrestricted Chinese immigration.
Mr. Hopkins then goes on to show that
the “inflax of a moderate number of
Chinamen has been a great pecuniary
advantage to manufactures, agriculture and public improvements of the
State,” and he says farther on, “As it
‘Stands, the Immigrant Union feels under no obligation to increase their numbers. Six Chinese immigration societies have been for years in successful
operation in San Francisco.” Mr. Hopkins evidently wants to satisfy those
who favor Chinese immigration and
those who do not, and he therefore suggests that there are already six associations to induce Chinese tocome. He
fuils, however, to inform the people
that neither ot these six Chinese companies have ever asked the Legislature
to give them $100,000 of the people’s
money to bring Chinamen here, though
‘ he states they have been a benefit to
the industries of the State. It is certainly fortunate that as the matter
stands the Immigrant Union feels un
der no obligation to increase their (the
Chinese) numbers. It is probable that
had the Union felt differently, it would
have attempted, through the next Legislature to feel deeper into the State
treasury, and the “little bill” which
» Mr. Hopkins promises to have “carefully drawn by the light of Eastern precedent,’and by the best obtainable tal_ ent,” would have asked for $200,000 insteadhof $100,000 per year.
The whole drift of Mr. Hopkins’ arguin Puritanical times, which were about
as follows:
Resolved, The earth is the Lord’s and
the fullness thereof..
Resoloed, We are the Lords.
The State officers being politicians,
although under bonds to the people,
. must not expend their money, but it
must be given a mere local organization, whose managers propose to use
the funds in order to save them from
the politicians. ~
MINING ON THE RIDGE.—We learn
from a friend who took a trip to the
“Ridge” last Saturday, the following .
interesting’ items about the mines in
that part of the county. At Birchville
says the Union, nothing much is doing.
Chinamen are working the opened
claims and are not making more than
bare wages. There are many valuable
unopened mining claims at and near
Birchville. These will be worked to
advantage when the tunnel now being
runis completed. This tunnel is .now
in 3,000 feet, the end being 400 feet
from the surface of the ground. A
shaft is to be raised from the end of the
tunnel], and when that is completed
many claims Will be opened. The depression at Birchville now is similar to
that of 1856, when the miners were
waiting for the completion of a ditch.
At Buckeye Hill, Evans & Stidger are
doing well. Their claims yield from
$16,000 to $18,000 for every thirty days
washing.
At French Corral there are three cement mills(one a new one)of ten stamps
each, running constantly, with profitable results. The cement claims at Empire Flat, one quarter of a mile distant
from the Corral, are doing well.
At Sebastopol the American Company
is doing well, working with the hydraulic process. .
On San Juan Hill two new companies
have started up, and all of the companies there are doing well. The Eureka
Lake Company is, especially, taking
out good pay. At Badger Hill the
mines are doing'well, though two companies are waiting for a tunnel to be
completed. The English. Company is
doing especially well. The McDonald
Company at Grizzly Hill has struck
good gravel. The Chinamen bring in
to Block & Furth. bunkers, at San Juan,
from $2,000 to $5,000 worth of gold
dust per week.
StaTE Dewt.—A correspondent of
the San Francisco Bulletin, writing
from Sacramento under date of November 13th, referring to the finances of
the State of California, says: “The State
debt on the 1st of November 1869, stood
as follows: Funded and bearing interest, $4,068,000; outstanding warrants
on the Capitol Fund, $270,879 03 ; warrants on Military Fund; $3,571 10; total
debt, $4,842,451 08. Compared with
the figures of two years ago, this statement shows the gratifying reduction of
$1,078,500.”
Tae Firreenth AMENDMENT.—
The New York Herald says: “It is
probable that the proclamation of the
ment on the Chinese question amounts ©o™Plete ratification will be made from
to this: “Asa labor element they are!
good, but since they must be citizens,
they should not come.”” As both parties are opposed to making Chinese
citizens, Mr. Hopkins undoubtedly
thinks he has both the friends and opponents of the system of Chinese Jabor.
But the pamphlet urges that this
matter should be kept out of politics.
Hear it:
We cannot be’ too urgent in represéntidg tothe Legislature, that if this
matter be undertaken at all, its enactments be so framed that no politician of
either party have any, appointment
thereunder, or anything to do°witk the
handling of the funds. The “Immigrant Union,” composed of responsible
and prominent business men, ot all pare ties, religions and nationalities, and
without a politician in its organization,
__Offers itself as the custodian and almon.
-er of the State’s bounty in this regard,
under suitable restrictions, fully believ' ing that theSmagnitude and delicacy of
the duties of such a trust can be better
appreciated and performed by such an
association than by any political appeintment, SON
Here’s where the “little bill,” drawn
_.by the light of Eastern precedent comes
in again, andit reminds us of a series
of resolutions said to have been passed
2
Washington before the ist of January,
which will settle the question and reduce Northern Democracy to the wise
alternative of joining the Southern: Democracy in cultivating the Negro vote.”
A WasuIneron letter states that the
purpose to amend the Naturalization
laws will be more earnestly pressed at
the ensuing session of Congress than
ever before. No man’s right will be
interfered with—and no obstacle placed
in the way of any man achieving-all
the prévileges of citizenship. But the
endeavor will be made to confine the
power of naturalization to the United
States Covrts, where it properly belongs, and where it’ can be exercised
without fear of abuse; and, further, it
will be sought to permit the final papers of cifizenship to be perfected at the
end of four years, but the right of franchise not to be exercised until one year
after the taking out of papers. Ia this
way the term of probation will not be
prolonged, and yet all inducement for
fraud will be removed. _
J.°C. Powe, ‘living seven miles
from Albany has gathered 80 bushels
of corn from two acres,
=
A Port TowNsEND: paper~ haw the
following : “ Wilson’s Great World Circus Company, in coming around by
water from Portland to Olympia, W. T.,
sustained a loss which only time and
patience, in addition to money, can replace. So heavy was tl sea encountered iri making the passage from Columabia River, that four of their .welltrained horses were killed outright,and
two others so badly maimed as to be unfit for use on arriving here. This was,
indeed, a heavy loss, and it was gratifying to see that our entire community
sympathized with the proprietor in his
nisfortune. Nor was the damage confined to the horses alone, for one of, the
performers suffered injurie3 which will
keep that voyage fresh in his recollection for many years.”
LaBorRERS Movine Sovtru.—A letter from
New Orleans, dated November 6th, states
mostly Germans, had arrived in that city from
the West during the preceeding week to work
on the sugar plantations in the Teche country.
They are to be paid $45 per month, to be supplied with food, and passage to be paid for
them. *
MernreEp.—The last number of the Solano
(Suisun) Herald announces that it and the
Solano Press have been merged into one inetitution, and will hereafter be published under'the name of Solano Republican. Judge O.
B. Powers, of the Herald, and G. A. Gillespie,
Esq., of the Press, will be the proprietors and
editors of the consolidated paper.
Catirornsia PaciFic.—The California Pa
cific Railroad Company have commenced run
ning Sunday trains. The California Steam
Navigation Company will run their boats on
Sunday on and after Sunday next. Everything will then be moving in the way of lines
of travel to and from Sacramento.
An eccentric character in Vallejo known as
“Old Hungerford,” was found dead in his bed
in that city on the 9th instant.
J. B. Lemon, of Suisun has been appointed
agent for the Suisun, Berryessa and Clear
Lake Railroad Company.
A youne man named Duke was drowned
near Vallejo a few days since. The body has
not yet been recovered.
Game is abundant atound Larime. Antelope sell for $1 apiece, and hunters make
good wages at that price.
