Democratic ANTI-CHINESE : MovEMENT IN OnEGON.—Those who oppose Chinese immigration have been j as badly fooled by the Democracy of Legislature of this Statelast Winter.’ The Oregon Legislature is Democratic and the Democracy of that State madethe same pledge in the campaign, in regard to Chinese immigration as the California Democracy. An honest Democrat introduced a bill on the 2ist to check the immigration, and the dispatch informs us that “Amis, the introducer, was avinoyed by various amendments proposed by way of ridicule, and an obnoxious one was laid on the table, carrying the bill with it, and then a reconsideration failed to carry, and the Speaker pronounced the bill beyond reach of any motion whatever. in the midst of this laughable tangle the House adjourned.” Here we have the Democracy “filibustering” against a measure which they had pledged to carry out and then laughing over its defeat. What are solemn pledges worth, when an honest effort to redeem them is thus treated? How long will men who earnestly desire to exclude a degraded system-of labor depend for relief upon these hollow pledges, which are only made to catch votes? AN AFFECTING APPEAL.—The civil magistrates of Alsace and Lorraine have issued an affecting appeal to the States for aid to the suffering inhabi-. tants of those war-devasted provincés. From the accounts we have had of the enormous contributions t6vied by the Prussian armies upon the inhabitants, we cannot doubt that thousands have been left in~a starving condition; yet we do not see how any aid contributed inthe United States could reach the by the Prussian forces, and if ship loads of food were sent from the United States for the real sufferers, it would at once be confiscated for the use of Prussian troops. However unmerited and terrible may be their sufferings, no effective aid can’ be furnished them as long as their country is the theater of military operations. THE Appeal says the Reporter takes great. credit to the Democratic party for having passed the Insurance Commissioner -and accompanying bill, regulating the business of insurance, by which the Builders was wiped out of existence. Since it cost the Insurance Companies $75,000 in U. 8, gold coin to pass the bill through the Assembly, in 1868-9, we gan not see what the Democrats have. to brag of in this connection—unless it is their money. Great GRAIN MarKET.—Milwaukee is the greatest grain market in the world. It has six large elevators able to hold from half a million toa million and a half bushels. Yet, last week, five hundred cars were standing in the freight yards and on the tracks of the city, unable todischarge their wheat. The immense glut isfrom old wheat, and the merchants estimate that there are a million more bushels of the crop of 1869 yet to come. HEAVY DAMAGES.—Mary F. Bakez has recovered a verdict of $10,000 against the California Stage Company, for the killing of her. husband by the upsetting of a stage near Haywoods, a year since. Mary Grady, who was injured at the same time, recovered $3,000, and John Taggart, $875. Fast Tran.—A fiye year old trotting horse—the Major Winfield—made a mile in 1:09} over Fleetwood course, New York, on Friday, and upon the strength of this masterly victory over time he sold nextday for $17,000. ANNA STORY was recently married to Robert Short. A very pleasant way Sr. Lous is building an $800,000 . jail. : the se as follows: “The French soldiers mlarehed ont of Paris ag if go‘ing toa picnic. ‘No tears, no regrets, no painful leave taking. It was only a petite prométisde, and soon they would be back to their old places in the Champs Elyses, drinking absyntle and making love to the wet nurses. But if the contrast was remarked upon must say thata dozen times or more I answered, Messeurs, beware of the men who go weeping to battle. My word for it they know why they go and what they are to meet. And woe to the men who have made them weep. IfI am to meet a foe, let it bea dancing, singing, laughing foe,a foe who has come to war as toa picnic, a prome~ nade. The man whose lieart sent up tears to his eyes at leaving the dear ones at home, and then goes sobbing laughing and dancing to despoil his country, to make his wife a widow and his children orphans,is an ugly customer te meet. When we pick out our adversaries let that man be set over against another than me. I will have none of him.” Of the preparation of Germany, and the designs of France, he says : “I have been in France a good part of the time for-more than four years>ia short, since the war of 1866—during which it has been known toa positive certainty that, France ~intended-to.attack at the first-convenient occasion, and that occasion she was to choose. ‘ago France was on the eve of commencing, but the Spanish revolution prevented “her: It appears that that pattern of virtue and queenly qualities, Isabella II of Spain, had agreed to send Spanish troops to Rome to replace those of France, and so enable the Emperor to call these soldiers home. But the good Queen was unable to stay long enough to carry out the agreement, and so the whole scheme fell through. Indeed, she only had time to steal the crown jewels and run away to Paris, Thus Prussia escaped a little longer, and so the Luxembourg affair would have been enough, but for the elections about to come off. In fact, the Germans have known that various accidental events have been thé means of keeping the French quiet for the last four years, but that sooner or later they would come. So they worked day and night to get ready, and when they once got ready they kept ready. THe GERMAN Bauu.—The receipts and expenditure of the late ball; given at Grass Valley, for the German Sanitary fund, says the Union, are as follows : Received from sale of tickets. .$562 50 Received from refreshments / sold and donations... ~+ 205 30 OUR 1 6 cei N hake bake capa cet oO Expenge..scesccisesssscess$lon 89 For the fund. ee vedcchede cs SOREAL His InJgurtes.—The Grass Valley Union gives the following particulars in regard to the man who was ran over by a team at Rough and Ready on Wednesday : The wounded man’s name is Henry Pustile, he isa native of Germany, and resides at St, Nicholas.

The papers call that sending coals to Newcastle. California is a Newcastle in more ways than one. In, ‘canned fruit California is a great Newcastle. Having more fruit grown within its borders than its population: can possibly -use, it imports canned and dried fruits, The coals of fruit are brought to our Newcastle. California can raise and grain fatten all the hogs. the population can possibly consume in the way of fresh pork, hams, bacon sides and lard; yet, Oregon has to send prepared hog’s flesh to California. In that, Oregon furnishes coals to our Newcastle. The shoddyites of the East bring their worthless coals, in the shape of poor and flimsy clothing, to California, which conld easily be and~ should certainly be a Newcastle inthe production of material for clothing and for the manufacturingof clothing. Our silks come from Europe, while those Europeans who-send that sort of coal to onr’ Newcastle, are careful to send to us to get the healthy worms. production of silks, the sowing thread made of that material is imported at great cost. ‘The many _kinds of coals brought to.our.Newcastle -are too numerous to mention. We of California get them every day, and our conduct indicates that many generations will grow, occupy this land and die off before this Newcastle of California, so rich in all the coal of its native production and of manufacturing facilities, shall supply its own coal. The Vallejo case is only oné of ten thousand instances in which we import at large prices, while we should be manufacturing at cheap rates.

On next Sunday. evening the anniversary Of the Jewish New Year commences, and lasts until Tuesday evening at 6 o’clock. The Hebrew name is Rosh Hashona, and is strictly observed by the descendantsof Israel. Jewish services will be held in this city at Temperance Hall during the holidays. Candidates. Nevada county has sent out quite a number of persons to hold office in other States. There are some ten or a dozen old Nevadanson the State and county tickets in Nevada State. Among them both parties are pretty well represented. Charged with Threatening Life. A complaint was filed before Justice Caldwell. by Bridget Lyons charging John Lyons with threatening her life, and asking that he be bound over to keep the peace. Lyons was yesterday arrested by Under Sheriff McBrown at Washington and brought to this city. He was arraigned before Justice Caldwell,'auid plead “not guilty.” The examination was fixed for Monday at 2 o’clock: Mining Location. Huitt & Co. have located 1,800 feet on the Arzca ledge, Rough and Ready township.

Business is business, and the journal that succeeds is the one that is run on a square business footing, the same as banking or building bridges, keeping a hotel or running a livery stable.” DECREASE oF THE PuBLIC DeBT.— The following table gives the monthly reductions of the debt from the date of President Grant’s inauguration till the last of August: Sie ee 1869, March.. scccceeeees$ 266,796 dy April. .esee seeee seee 6,399,070 ¥ May. cocscocces oeeeee 13,384,777 © J ORRs hati iced ctaones MORES xs FAY cedscscccecsecs 7,435,744 AUguSt., .cccccccecss 5,604,324 “ September......7,467,423 * November. ..e00-+0+ 7,571,454 “ December.. ...++ «+ 4,842,781 1870, January....+eccee.3,930,004 “ February...ee.0s6,484,811 © March weeeeee te. eeee 5,766,349 = April..
