The Lafayette Courier, Polk coun ty Signal, and Oregon Herald have much to say of their " fellow citizens'' the Chinese. They are becoming alarmed lest, tinder the Burlingame treaty, they will rush off and marry a Coolie. (?) They say the treaty con fers the right of citizenship, when at the same time they know they lie, flatly; when they say so. The treaty with China does not confer the privi lege of citizenship upon the Chinese in the least particular. The Herald "discountenances'' liots against the Chlne-e. and yet 55 enconrages riot ing in this manner: We nre informed that forty or fif ty men congregated in front of the pest house night before last, and threatened to clean it out. A mob is the most terrible and at the same time the most despicable thing in the world. No good was ever accom plished by one, and good citizens should never listen to any proposi tion which involves resort to com bined force against law and order. Taking the law into our own hands would be justifiable only after the commercial States, when ful ly advised in the premises, had shown themselves to be so selfish as to be willing to enjoy a remunerative trade at the expense of the utter deg radation of the Pacific coast. The above is a good illustration of the language cf the "old Public Functionary " Buchanan, who hav ing listened to Lincoln's first inau gural, was asked his opinion with re spect to it on the .way home. TJe repiicd that he was not able to say, as he did not know the secret mean ing of the words used by Mr. Lin coi.v. Copperheads always have a secret meaning lo their words they never state facts unless their-is a se cret behind them, in words or action, to refute and pervert t lie truth. Seemingly the Herald denounces ri oting, but secretly it wonld rejoice to see blood shed at any time, under no matter what pretext, so long as po litical capital could be made out of it. The, o.n!y article in this treaty with China about which Copperheads seem lo tremble is the following: Article G. That citizens of the two nations shall c-t joy in the other the same privileges, immunities, or rx eruptions in respect to travel or resi dence, as may there be enj ed by the citizens e! ihe most favored na tions. Now a suljscl of China is a citizen of China. A citizen of China sh;d! enjoy the right of protection when traveling or residing in the United States. This does not in the least affect the matter cf suffrage or citi zenship in. the United States. And under it no Chinaman has a right lo be naturalized. The treaty gives the rul-jects of China the same privileges etc., when visiting or residing in the United Stales with reject to travel or resi dence, as may be enjoyed by " the citizens of the most favored nation55." The United States has no treaty, ncr never hadr wnh any nation, au thorizing or permitting its subjects to become naturalized in the United States. Ccvarcss lias the power to provide for the naturalization of for eigners. At present the law only permits the naturalization of ichile foreigners. This does not include mongolians or rthinamcn. But even supposing that Chinese were entitled to become naturalized under this treaty, (made by Democratic Seward on the part of the United States), still they would be as far from the rigid of suffrage as ever. Naturalization makes a foreigner a citizen of the United States he is no longer an alien, but, under the Constitution as it was and is, it depends upon (lie faui of the 2iriicular Stale in which he re sides, ivhelhcr he is entitled to vole or not ; In other words the poieer to confer or icithohl suffrage to all class es or races is exclusively in the scvc-rcJ Slates. A Republican paper in the Italian language has been started in San Franc i-eo. The grand piano of the Philhar monic Society is now in Portland. The obliging proprietor of the Franklin Book store showed as much of it to U3 as ho could, on Thursday evening. It will probably be opened coon and the Society must give another concert, that nil who appre ciate music may see and hear this in strument.

The Grand Worthy Chief Templar desires a full attendance of delegates from the subordinate lodges, as matters of great importance will come up fr discussion. A runner for a San Francisco drug houc is reporting that the lead ing druggists of Portland are supplied through the California hon?es. This is an error. Messrs'. Smith fc Davis and Hodge, Gdef & Co , have for years purchased in Atlantic supply ports, and their sales to Oregon firms are based upon the direct trade sy stein. The S'ate Journal tells of a sad affair at Smithsville. A little gill four years of nge, daughter of Mr. Patison, when in plain vimv of home, was attacked by a panther. The child was caught by tiie back of the n;ck, and a mouthful of flesh t 'ken out, killing her almost i. stantly. A party of ten men started at once in pursuit of the panther, but we have not heard the result of the hunt. We hope he may be captured. A good team, and a fine bugory, or a splendid saddle horse, can al ways be obtained at the lowest living price, at the stables of Messrs. God ard & Lake, Portland, on the corner of Second and Morrison streets. Their accommodations cannot be sur passed in the city, and persons wish ing anything i:i their line would do well to patronize them. Try cine of their spanking teams and new bug gies, and yon will be pleased with the " turn-out, and sath-fied with their ehargessays the Oregonian. The Mountaineer things that ' a genteel young man from the Coun try " who put chased a pair of elastics at ihe Dalles the other day, for a lady, was a greeny.

Tiiis class of ladies ma perhaps, at tend the Jerome Park races. Mr. E. W. Gray, of Salem, fur nishes the following to the Unionist: " While camped on the beach near Salmon river, his children were tak ing a walk, and some of them- found a place of q iiek sand, ar.d stuck up a white (kg as a mark to warn away those who came after, from the place. Shortly afterward an Ocean Steam came along on its downward trip, about four or five miles away. The captain of the steamer seeing the tl ig, is supposed to have taken it for a signal of distress, as he lowered a life boat, nnd started for shore. Up on this discovery by those on shore, the flag was taken down, and the boat put about to the steamer which went on its way. Mr. Gray could not tell what steamer it was, but credits it as a noble act in the com mander in being so prompt in af fording relief to supposed distress. This was on the J 5ih Inst. The steamer is supposed" to liave been the Continental."

TELE(.UAPIIIC JVE1VS. We take the following telegraphic news from dispatches to the Orey-jniun-. A telegraph cable is lo be laid be tween Denmark and Russsia. Hon. Alexander Rives, of Virginia, has written a letter endorsing Gen. Grant. The small pox is said lo have made its appearance among the Judians on the Pujallup reservation. The friends' of Dr. Mudd are mak ing vigorous efforts to secure his pardon. The President has referred the -decision of Gen. Schc-fifld cn the eight hour question lo the Att'y General. The Commissioner of the General Land Office has approved two con tracts for surveys, one in the vicinity of Central and Idaho cities. The receipts of wheat at San Fran cisco for 48 hours, ending Saturday noon, are unprecedentedly large, ag gregating 8,!U0 centals. The Treasury Department is en gaged in framing new regulations in regard to the transit of United States merchandise across the Isthmus cf Panama. Flour for China is sellingrat $3.25 in Sun Franckeo. Wheat, mixed to choice, sills at $l.S0.i$l 95 per cwt. Barley $2.10 to 82 20. Oats range trom $2.30 to 2.55. Gen. Forrest is still making rebel speeches in West Tennessee. The Kuklux wander about the country in gangs, warning Union men to leave. Murders and outrages are frequent. Charles Yomans has sued the Con tra Costa Steam Navigation Company for $-10,000 damages sustained in 18GG, by the explosion of a locomo tive at the Petaluma landing. The organization of a Grant and Colfax Club among the tanners and leather dealers of San Francisco is an fissured success. Over 4,000 members have already been enrolled. Dispatches from Tennessee say the reign of terror is universal thro'- cut all the counties at a distance f ern the principal cities. There is less safety for Union men than during the war. Some unpleasantness has been caused at the Springfield Armory, in consequence of the men being noti fled that their pay would be cot down proportionately to the reduction in the hours of- labor. Messrs. Arnrnn-, of Bordeaux, j'gainst whom the United States re ceiitiy obtained judgment in the French High Court of Appeals, for constructing Confederate; ironclads, have been adjudged bankrupts. E'evcn of t!3 most celebrated crkkelers of Jv;g'ar.d will sail from Liverpool in September for New York. They will play matches in several of the cities cf Canada ar.d the United State?, against picked elevens. A pprehensIor.S are entertained that the recent attempt at an uprising against the Turkish authority in IIul- garia will be renewed. Accounts from that qnartcr represent that the country remains in an unsettled cons dition. One of the Grant and Colfax elec tors in Alabama, who was a distin guished rebel c-fiicer during the war, writes that the Democrats will make desperate efforts to carry the State, and that the election will cost, 1,000 lives. Ail Republicans are socially ostracised, but he thinks Grant will carry the State. The Paris Pairie, in nn cdl'toral, says it is advised that the dispute be tween Great Britain and the United States, concerning the Alabama claims, will ba referred to the arbi trillion of one of the great powers as the only mode, of arriving at a definite and final settlement. A dispatch states that General Rosecrans is consulting with Lee and other Southern Generals in regard to a plan for a general reconciliation ot the people (if both sections A; pri vate meeting has been held where Generals Lee, Lonirstreet, Beaure gard, Ewell, Hunter, nnd also A.

It is be lieved that an address will be issued to the people of the South by their former Generals. The Good Templars of Portland paid this city a moonlight visit on Thursday evening, and were met at the wharf by the Lodgy here. A few pleasant hours were enjoyed, h conversation at the Hall of the Order, and dancing at the Cliff House, un till the small hoars of the raorning.

The great importance cf railway com munication in Oregon, while it may have aroused the public mind to that degree that would induce them to liberally aid every enterprise of this character, may have had the effect, and doubtless has had the effect, of creating that credulity in Ihe minds of honest people that causes them to become the dupes of designing men. who, under the pretense of building rail roads, are simply making a living, and Ibdivj iheir oicn pockets out of tiie hard earned proceeds of honest toil. When ever, therefore, a man who was never known to have the ability or disposition to engage in any legitimate business, by which an honest livelihood could be ob tained, comes before the people professing the disposition and ability to build a rail road, it i.s high time that the people who are asked to contribute to such an enter prise should make some inqniry into the facts, and should know something of the modus operandi by which such a man. who. without any capital, save consummate unscrupulousness, without the talent even of a fifth rate pettifogger, is to construct a railroad. Listen, then, unsuspecting citi zens of Oregon, and you shall know some thing of the manner in which one such, at least, proposes to build a railroad for the good people of the West Side. A cor poration is formed, fixing the capital stock at five million dollars. And it is repre sented by Gaston, nnd a very fcro others who are in the magnificent ring presently to he disclosed ami held to public view, that this corpora' ion. so formed, is entitled to the Congress land grant of x'2.S00 acres per mile from Portland. Oregon, southerly through the Wallamcf, Cmpqua, and Ivogae River valleys. And also that it is entitled to the Stale all of tiie payment of interest on one million dollars of its bonus for twenty years besides the aid offered by the city of Portland and (he counties of Washington and Yamhill. Now sup pose for the sake ot the argument, that this is al! true. Who, we iucpiire, ho'do the slock in this vast corporation ? If it be true that this corporation have such valuable franelrses. then it is equally true that these franchises are represen:ed In fills five million dollars of stock, and there fore it follows as a logical and legal se quence, that whoever holds the majority of this stock owns the one half of all these valuable franchises, with the voles to con trol the t.thi-r half. Gaston, knowing this, about the lime the articles of iucorpf ra tion of the West .Side were filed, enters into a icriilfn ogret merd with five others whose names if is not necessary to men tion, of which the following is a substan tial copy. ar:d So this agreement -every word and sentence of which breathes forth the fat t Id breath of the most unscrupulous and uaoardonable fiend we would call the especial attention of all honest men. whether they are interested in the success of a road ou the east or the west side of the road: con" c? rn:: caston .cr.::r.zr.r.

Dated. Salem, November A. 1. lS-;.j. Signed by J. Gaston and five others. It is but an act of justice to both Gaston and at least iico of the other five who signed this despicable agreement, that the s irne was concocted aud prepared by Gas ton himself ; that it was conceived in his brain, so fertile as k has proven to be in the production of j:rcniy dlduler schemes. That it was penned by him. and iLe two signatures at least (referred to) obtained in a hurried manner, believing it. as they did at the time, to be some legitimate paper connected with the organization of the company and v. ho, on learning its true character, in a short time afterwards, withdrew from ft all sanction or acquies cence, rmd utterly repudiated it as a con temptible imposition upon the people, and a gross attempt to gobble up valuable franchises and property intended for the public good, and appropriate them to the pociiets of a select few, of which he should be the chief. Put what follows this palpa ble attempt at v, hoIsale robbery of the people's franchises, r.s provided for in the foregoing agreement, which Gaston doubt less, when he penned it, never dreamed would see the light of day, and the sight uf which now should make htm blush with shame, we shall attempt to show ia future We have several letters from the peo ple upon Railroad subject.?.

As the age in which tec live demands progress in Farming Implement's as well as n all other hi nnches of indus. try, we have determined lo enter exten sively vpon ihe manufacture of the celebrated Pjfcil Grans' Flow! Letter known in Oregon as the WOL G A MO T PL O Ur. ' This Plow com . hi ties all the desirable points of a per' feet iinpumcnl, being simple, in eon. s! ruction, cheap, durable, and of Void draft. The only Premiums tidt'ch tare arcarded to Gang Ploivs at the great Implement trial at Matloon, Sept. A; 1SCG, hy the Stale Agricultural ioci: etij of Illinois, were awarded to t,'ii:t Plow. The following is an extract from the Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture, for the year 1SSG, and may be found on pags 210 of that re port ; "The Gang Piow made by J. C. Pfeil, Arenzviile, Cass county Illinois, is received with no little favor in the west. Almost in credible stories are told of its excellence and eHiclehcy in plowmj the praine fields of Illinois and other States. The depth of tiie furrow is regulated li the erunk-ttxlc, which is so arrang-J th.it t'ne ploughs can be driven deep or -ha'dow, at the pleasure of the driver, when t!je teara is moving, by means of the lever, f W iilso manufacture sal key plows for small bovs or inhrm persons, who are unable to man'iejo H team of three or four horses. Lewis S' Vel pirnof, makers This gang or sulkev ji)(nr will cut a furrow from li to Jo inches deep. "The committee who tested the draught of this plow with a dynamometer state, that it ran lighter by 14o pound:-, than other plow when running at the. same depth, and Le!J -by the plowman while on foot." JKSF TTilh this Plow one :r-.an can an more work than two men can do ivilh 'walking Flows, and ihe same amount of team. Hence, it will be seen that it will more than pay for itself in one season's plowing. Q 7i addition to the ah eve, John IV.
