CITY, CALIFORNIA. — WEDNESDAY, NOV, 24, 1869." ra . _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. <P Tue Colorado Herald says there is a dearth of preachers in the mountains, and the people go like sheep through the mountains. fa the railroad has a perceptible effect in enhancing the value of mining stock, Brps for erecting a ponivenitiory at Boise City have “been forwarded to ashington.
