A Riulicnl Truth. Senator I Towe, of Wisconsin, a lead er of the Republican party, said in his speech in the Senate a few days ago that “If Louisiana did nof vote for Packard the whole world knows that Louisiana -11-i not vote for IJayes.” And the world knows well enough that Packard wasn’t elected, and rec ognizes Nichols as the rfcjWoatul de jure Governor of that State. Hayes knows and oj>cnly recognizes this fact, without the slightest effort at conceal ment or denial, and this too, in the face of the fact that Iku kard got 2,000 more votes in Louisiana than some of Hayes’ Electors. Howe further adds that “If llayes is not a usurper, Nich ols is,” and comes to the conclusion that the President has either usurped his own oilice, or has aided Nichols in u-urping his. There seems to be sev eral unpleasant horns to Mr. Hayes’ dilemma, K 1.1*1 111.K AN COI NTT 1 <F.NI ».VI ¿ON. '1 his body assembled in meagre num bers at the Court House last Saturday, and after going through the usual forms “for such cases made and pro vided,” quit about where they begun. I ho attendance of delegates was slim, but after an adjournment they succeed ed in drumming up enough to con duct the business on hand. Little in terest was manifested and little done— and we may add little will be for it to do* A Bish was chosen Chairman and Ed. F. Lewis Secretary. Committees on Credent! ds and Order of Business Were appointed by the Chair when the solemn body adjourned to drum up the dilatory and try it agiiu after dinner On re-assemtiling thirty-one delegates were (out of a possible 42) reported as entitled to seats—many of these “prox ies.” Ater “Reports of Committees” the Convention proceeded to the solemn business of selecting seven victims for tlie slaughter at Salem on Wednesday next. They were W. A. McPherson, Simon Caro, B. F. Dowell, M. Muller, J. 11. Skidmore, N. Langell and W. C. Myer. The Convention then enact ed that the present memtiers of the County Central Committee—we don’t know who they are—conduct the ser vices for the ensuing term of two years. After instructing their delegates to do ttie best they can for this portion of the State on the State ticket, the sol emn conclave dissolved and was ab sorbed in the whirl and throng of homeward going school children. They wisely refrained from putting up victims for county sacrifice—doubt less leaving that 1L rculean labor to the adolescent “greenbackers,” who now, together with their kinsmen the grouse, are just beginning to “hoot.” And thus dosed in the calm quiet of still birth, the first act io the drama of par ty burial. A (¿real Race. At Louisville on July 3d a race will be run, four mile heaw, between the champion of the turf, Tenhroeek, and the never-beaten Mollie McCarty, for $10,000 a side. This will be the most j remarkable race ever run in the Unit ed States, if not the world, for Ten- broeck has eclipsed the best tim * ever made, and the California mare has never lost even a heat, much less a rice. Mollie McCarty is owned by Theodore Winters, the most notable stock raiser on the Pacific Coast, own er of the celebrated Norfolk, and a largo stud of well known animals. Mollie McCarty is a grand daughter of ■ Norfolk, by Monday, out of Hennie Farrow, and is one of the finest bred and most beautiful animals on the turf. Mr. Winters is willing to run this mare agaiust Parole, Aristides, Tom Ochiltree, or in fact any horse in the world, miles heats for $5,000. Greenback Slide Convention The delegates of this new political organization met in State Convention at Albany, on the 3d instant, and put a ticket in tho field as follows: For Governor, M. Wilkins of Lane county; Representative in Congress, Prof. T. F. Campbell of Polk (the same who ran for Governor on the Independent ticket lour years ago); Secretary of ! State, N. T. Cates, of Union; State Treasurer, F. Southerlin, of Douglas; Supt. Public Instruction, W. W. Park er, of Clatsop; State Printer, D. W. ' Craig, of Marion. P inch back , of Louisiana, visited Hayes, at bis temporary residence in the White House, the other day. He says His Fraudulency took to him kindly—lliey had a good time. I’inchy says Louisiana has now the best gov ernor within his recollection and the people are bettor satisfied than hereto fore with public affairs, although, as elsew here, there are complaints of hard times. The only thing of which Pinchy complains is that a few chil dren nearly w hite in the public schools in New Orleans have been required to leave. His own children were includ ed in the number removed by the j sciiQpl authorities. A llCClClISiOH. Our fellow-townsman C. C. Beek man,whose name has been very freely used by tho Republicans as a possible candidate for Governor on their forth- coming ticket, comes out in a card in the last Seufiii 'l, declining the prof fered honor. After disclaiming any exalted political ambitions, he hopes “that the R ‘publican convention w ill select a candid tie more desirous of po litical honors, acceptable to the people, and better tilted to discharge the ex ecutive duties.” Ou the whole we are constrained to admit that tho party might select a much worse candidate than Beekman, but we commend his judgment in declining the empty hon or of candid icy with the certainty of defeat. We learn, from the language of his card, however, that certain “con junctions” might induce him to submit to the chance of being ‘ struck by light ning.” Ho» to iti.i Oregon olCliinese. Under this heading for a leader, among other things the Portland Stand ard of the 5th says: Having stopped all further swarm ing of Asiatic slaves to this country, the people must then turn their atten tion to the Mongolians that arealready here. We are opposed to all incendia ry methods of driving them away, but it is in our power to frame laws that will be so distasteful to the heathens that they will be glad to leave us al- most of their own accord. We must therefore look to the men who are nom inated on our tickets for the State Leg islature. There must be no weak men, willing to promise anything ami then as w illingly forget after election. Candidates must be outspoken in their determination to do all in their power to wipe out the Mongolian curse, that is blighting the whole Pacific Coast, by all legislation within the range ot constitutionality. The cubic air law, as favoring sanitary measures should be enforced; laws prohibiting the re tention of Chinese corpses for ship ment to China, should be pissed; a heavy per capita tax should be placed on every Chinaman arriving in the country; the queues of Chinese found guilty of crime should be cut off, thus barring their return to the Celestial Kingdom; their idols should be de stroyed as a mockery to our intelli gence and an insult to our God, and their superstitious fires and punk burn ing be stopped for the safety of our city. These are but a few of the many laws that might be passed if wo only put “the right men in the right place,” and we feel assured that if our people at large will but catch the spirit* that actuates the Portland Working men, we may yet rid ourselves of the obnoxious Chinese.

The third addition ot this work is now out, and it is praised on every hand as just the thing need ed in our mining camps.

Attorney General Marble says, “T he Digest of Decisions appears to be brought down to this date. The arrangement of statutes and instructions, by topics, is very convenient, as it is novel. It is an ad mirable compendium of mining law.” Col. Ford, C lief of Mining Division of General L ind Office, says, “It contains the-only complete li-t ot mining pat ents ever published ” Law Clerk Tif fany says, “The knowledge that may be obtained from it would enable claim ants to so prepare and prosecute their claims that much delay, loss and liti gation would he avoided.” Law Clerk Brainard says, ‘-By consulting this book mine-owners and claimants will bo able to avoid tho payment of con sultation fees for legal advice; and by having the laws of decisions before them they may also avoid expen-ivt* ami unnecessary litigition to manj’ cases.” Law Clerk Howe says, of know of no publication on the subject containing so much information. It is on my desk for constant reference.” Lawyer Mendenhall says, “As a hook far easy reference it is invaluable.
