2 in eR aaa ONE ie GN Et
Tue. 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.

and expenditure of the late ball; given

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,

keep the peace. Lyons was yesterday
