& THE OREGON SENTINEL Wednesday, June 23, 1880. THE BCrrBUCAN PASTY. In his speech at Chicago, placing Sherman in nomination for the Presi dency. Generald Garfield thus outlined the career of the- Republican party: Twenty-five years ago this republic -was wearing a triple chain of bondage. Long familiarity with traffic in the bodies and bouls of men had paralyzed the consciences of a majority of our people. Tho baleful doctrine of State sovereignty had shackled and weaken ed the noblest and most beneficent powers of the National Government, and the grasping power of slavery was seizing the virgin Territories of the West and dragging them into the den of eternal bondage. At that crisis the Bepublican party was born; it drew its first inspiration from that fire of liber ty which God has lighted In every hu man heart, and which all the powers of ignorance and tyranny "can never whollyextinguish. Applause. The Republican party came to deliver and save the Republic. It .entered the arena, where the beleaguered and as sailed Territories were struggling for freedom, and drew around them a sa cred circle of liberty, which the demon of slavery has never dared to cross. It made them frte forever. Loud applauRe and cries of "Good." Strengthened by its victory on the frontier, the young party, under the leadership of that great man who, on this spot, twenty years ago, was made its leader, entered the national Capitol, and assumed the high duties of the Government. Applause. The light that shone from its banner dispelled tho darkness in which slavpry had en. shrouded the capital,"and to that melt ed1 the shackles of every slave, and consumed in the fire of liberty every slave pen within the shadow of the Capitol. Ourj great national indus tries by an unprotected policy were themselves prostrated, and the streams of revenue flowed in such feeble cur rents that the Treasury itself was well nigh-empty. The money of the people was the wretched notes of two thous and uncontrolled and irresponsible Stato banking corporations, which were filing the country with a circulation that poisoned rather than-sustained the life of business. Loud jippjause. The Republican parly changed all this. .It aboUshwL, f" 'bMQjf confusioii and gave the country a currency as na tional as-ite flags and based it upon the sacred faith of the people. Applause. Tt threw its prottcung arm around our great industries, and they stood erect, as with new life. It filled with the spirit of true nationality all the great functions of the Go eminent; it con fronted a rebellion of unexampled magnitude, with slavery behind it, and, under God, fought the final battle of liberty until the victory was won. Applause. Then after the storms of battle, were heard tho sweet, calm words of peace spoken by the conquer ing nation, and saying to the conquer ed foe that lay post rate at its feet: "That is our only revenge, that you join ns in lifting into the supreme firmament of th Constitution, to shine like stars forever and ever, the immor tal 'principles of truih and justice that all men, white or black, shall be free and stand equal befole the law." Loud applause. Then came the questions of reconstruction, the public debt and the public faith. In the settlement of these questions the Re publican party has completed its twen-ty-five years of glorious existence, and it has sent us here to prepare it for another lustrum of duty and of victory. The Chicago "Journal" says The re port published a day or two ago, that a Republican meeting, called to ratify thenominations of the Chicago Con vention, at Montgomery, Ala., was forcibly broken "up by a Democratic mob, is fully confirmed. Rotten eggs and pistols were the chief arguments used by these "chivalric" friends of freo speech. Thus opens the campaign in the "Solid South." And yet tlie Northern friends of the "bull-dozers" have the impudence to say that the Republican party has fulfilled its mis ion. The "Star" thinks a change in the ad ministration of public affairs highly necessary. That is precisely what the voters of Oregon thcpgbt. on tho 7th Inst School fund robbtry, swamp land iniquity, official extravagancp, abuse of the pardoning power, attempts at bribery by Senators, acceptance of bribes by legislators were proper things to condemn but a. descent in the administration of national affaire to the practices of Oregon and Maine democracy will hardly be thought of in November. The Hillsboro "Independent" tells how that Ben Ingles fired at and wounded a spike-buck; the deer made off with Ben in chase, who overtook it, .seized it by the hind legs and held on until he'p came. From all of which it is-,inferred that Ben Ingles is a fleet-' footed -and brave fellow, but does not nnderetand the natural history of a ouiko.bucjf. GARFIELD OJT CHINESE. The following extract from a speech of Mr. Garfield, delivered at Wheeling, Va., in 1878, shows how he stands on the Chinese question: "I have seen in a space no greater than the length and height in this sleep ing car berth, in a Chinese tenement quarter in San Francisco, the home of tweh e Chinamen. In that space they actually lived jes, actually lived most of their time. There they crouched (all doubled up,) and there they cooked ate, slept, and, in a word, lived. They cooked with a little lamp a mes of stuff that they import from China, which, like their rice food, is very cheap, and a mere pittance in the way of earnings on the street will supply them fooa and clothes for an indeti nite time. A few cents per day is more to them than a dollar to the com monest American laborer. Hence the lowest grade of poor paid labor retires before; them as it would before a pes tilence. That is not all. Thev have no as similation whatever to Caucasian civ ilization. Tho negro assimilates with the Caucasian. He adopts our civili zition professes our leligion works for our wages, and is a customer for. everything that civilization produces. Hence (using a figure of physiology) wc can take him up in the circulation of the body politic and assimilate him make a man and'a brother of him, as the phrase goes; but not so in the least degree with the Cliiuaman. And this brings me to say that one of the great questions that uow press upon Congress and the country for immediate attention and solution is what shall we do with reference to Chinese immigration? We have al ways refused to citizenize them; shall we continue the treaty under which they are immigrating to our shores? THE BLOODY SIIIUT. Already in the outset of a National campaign, the taunt is flung out by its opponents; that thetevivalof the bitter memories of the war is the only argu ment of the Republican party. De mands, not pouched in sadness but in defiant insolence are made; that the 'bloody shirt" be buried out of sight and the causes, the conduct, the wounds of tho war, be entombed with it. This can not be. It would be well, indeed, for the Democratic part', if the.written Ltoioi-y wt t:. jtua'i t't'j-&io were forgotten, but how can it be? Can a mother forget her travail, can she for get her coffined dead? Can a uatiou forget her slain? Should Greece for get her Marathon Sparta her Ther mopylae Or hhould Columbia forget the graves of those who laid down their lives for her; or even those of the southern victims who were crushed under the wheels of their own over-weening ambitiou? Never! So lontj as the flowers bloom, and tho grass grows green, over the dead of the rebellion, just so long will it be remembered that those graves are the fruitof Democratic ambition. Just so long as the flag waves, no matter how bright the sunlight that gilds its stripes and" stars, it will bear one bloody spot that time never will never can obliterate; for it is the record of the price of liberty and unity. Let it stay. Call it the "bloody shirt" if you will, but never forget the party whose political crimes wrought the stain. Rememberitsadl v;but not in bitterness; as a warning like that, that besmeared the door posts of Israel and do not forget that it means death to national unity should the Democracy e'ver ob tain national power again. T)ie mt m ory of the great crime of the Southern Democracy and thoir allies should be cherished,not in bitterness; or in anger, but with a stern resolution that the treacherous, pilote,wh(ouldhave wrecKed us, shall never be entrusted with the helm again.

Subscribe for the Sentinel, A.N L.NsLTTLLD fllEsTIU.V. One important question to miners which has never been satisfactorily settled is, what constitutes $100 worth of labor and improvements ? We often hear of trouble resulting from claims being jumped by parties who Hold that the necessary amount of work required by the IT. S. statutes has not been done in the manner prescribed by law. Some persons have expended annuallv S75 or 80 for actual labor and 20 or $25 for tools and other material, mak ing the total of $100. The parties who have re-located such claims hold that actual labor to the value of $100 must be performed, independent of cost of material used, etp. Therla.w on this point is not very definite and allows of a liberal construction. The following is the literal reading of the statutes: "On each claim located after the 10th day of May, 1872, and until a patent has beeu issued therefor, not less than $100 worth of labor shall be performed or improvements made during each .. " .. . . . r -,--ar )"". -Lino jkjiui, us ib now sianus is ....AH" 'I1... .J.V J... ? J" ? 1 Fable' to'cause considerable litigation. The Commissioner of the GenerafLand Offiie has never, to our knowledge, de cided as to whether the money expend ed for ponder, fuse, toohs, etc., can be counted as part of tho $100 worth of labor required. Until such decision is rendered, miners will have to be con trolled by the by-laws of their own dis tricts, each mining" district being ac corded the right to make regulations for its own government, not in conflict with the laws of the "United States, or of the State or Territory in which the district is situated. Mining it Scien tific Press. THE CHINESE PL.lIVK. The chief objection, made bv the De mocracy, to the Chinese plank in the National Republican platform is: that it does not point out to Congress the .proper method of restricting Chinese immigration. This was hardly the du ty of a political body; as Congress is supposed to have intelligence enough witli'n itself to devise' the proper mode for the settlement of this question It was sufficient that the Republican party expresfed itself clearly against the unrestricted immigration of an alien race, unfit for American citizen ship and placed itself on the record as demanding -a modification of the pres ent treaty; Any attempt to instruct Congress os to the manner of restrict ion vould have bpen resided ae oouim-'J what presumptive .and would have made the Convention a laughing stock: It is enough to know that an impera tive demand for Chinese icstrictiou is made by the Republican party and that the enunciations of the conven-i tion can not well be ignored by the members of that party in Congress. Democracy, must have something to talk about, however, and they mav just as well amuse themselves with this plank as with anv other, but "no imperfections in it will save them. from shipwreck. TOE SENTINEL. It is sneeringly remarked that the "Sentinel", has returned to Republi. canism since the election. This paper never departed from, never wavered in its advocacy of Republican princi ples but is in no sense a party organ, grinding out whatever music is set for it by party leaders. Coming from a race, whose swords have always been wet with 'the blood of tyranny, we would 'be ashamed to wear the collar of political servitude. We deprecate the tyranny cf party;and pily a-k men to be supporters of Republican princi ples, because they arc most conducive to good order, good government, na tional credit, individual freedom and the w idest measure of justice to nil creeds and clasps. We o.we no alle giance to aifarty; because of the adopt- ;iori.o.a party name butrieel-impelled: from a sense of right to stand by tho policy that sav ed, restored and cement ed again, the tottering fabric of States into a solid and respected government. In advocating an independent county t cket we asserted Republicanism riqhts in their fullest sense because we believ ed it the best public policy; but in a national campaign we must adopt the code of political principles, that ac cord best with one own sense of right and justice.
