mim o sr-' -A- Oregon City, Oregon , D. C. IKELAXI), EDITOR AXD FR.CFIIIETOR. Saturday March 20, 1869, THE CHINESE TIIEATY. The Chinese have already broken the compact of the treaty lately made between them and the United States, if it be true that Ross Browne is de prived of the " rights of travel and residence " in China, as we have be fore stated; and it has cost the State of California something to keep the bands of white vandals off the Chinese there. But it is not our purpose at this time to treat at length these for feitures on the part of the citizens of China hi their own land with respect to the treatment which a subject of the United States has received at their bands. We propose again to publish the Gth section of the treaty, and endf-avor to show that the Yamhill Courier, Albany Democrat, Beriah Brownpor any other copperhead, is at fault when tliey argue that this treaty obliges this country to bestow citizenship upon Chinese; and this assertion is eiade more loudly than ever since the suffrage amendment was proposed. The following is ar tide six of the treaty: The inhabitants of each country shall enjoy in the other all the rights of travel and residence accorded to the most favored citizens or subjects of any other State. But nothing herein contained shall ba held to con fer naturalization upon the citizens of the United States in China, nor upon the subjects of China in the United States. So it will be seen that the text of tbe treaty itself directly refutes this supposition. Speaking of the at tempt to establish a connection be 4 tween the treaty and the proposed suffrage amendment, the San Fran cisco Bulletin says: Had the adoption of any qualifica tion been prohibited, in the amend iiient, there wculd have been no bar to admitting Chinese to the ballot- box, except the naturalization law, which agitators might some day at tempt to have altered in this regard. Now there is a double check; first in the law named, which prevents the Chinese from becoming citizens, and second in the permission of a test that would exclude them on account of inability which extremely few of ithem would ever remove, even if they were ever allowed to be naturalized. The apprehension that the treaty with China obliges us to permit their nat uralization is palpably at fault. The equal guarantees of that instrument o only relate to the privileges of travel and residence, as the texft plainly shows. Thus the Chinese get no claim to demand citizenship under the treaty, and are denied it by our laws -and by public opinion. President Grant in reply to Washburne's letter of resignation, says he accepts it and regrets that his health will not permit him (Wah burnej to remain in the Cabinet. He says: " Our personal relations since the breaking out of the rebellion, have been such that no other idea presi tited itself stronger, on the first news of my election to the Pres idency, than that I should continue to have your advice and assistance v lie concludes with expressions of continued confidence and hopes for iv. early restoration of Washburne's health. Speaking of the cabinet the Satramento Record says: We think the new Cabinet &p-. pointments will prove an agreeable surprise to the people, who have be come tired of reading of the hackney ed politicians who have appeared to run the Government for the past four years. Grant has evidently studied the character of the men be fore calling them to his side, and the people can place the greatest confi- uci"-w " in juuiutui. we corn ss that 'out of all the appointments made.we looked for none but the name ot Washburn, and even his name in s connection with the Interior Depart ment. SchoQeld will probably re main in the War Department, for which lie is so well htted. On the 13th the North Pacific Transportation Company filed a cer tificate of incorporation at Sacra mento and San i rancisco. The ob ject of the company is to transport freight and passengers by steamship in the North Pacific waters; capital live million dollars. Trustees Wm Alvoid, W. C. Ralston, Lloyd Tevis II. F. Babcock, Alvia Hay ward, S r . Jiutlerworth, -.Ti.-. ox gao.vDS. Our friecd of the Herald, evident ly weary of political strife, lias taken tip the subject cf internal improve ments,, and aired a few of his ideas concerning; roads. Now in regard to the importance of the subject we ful ly agree with him. - There is nothing more necessary to the development of a State, than facilities for rapid communication between its different sections. The force of tbis truth, is felt so strongly, that the first steps taken in an advancing civilization, are to secure the means of rapid tran sit from auy one portion of the country, to every other portion. The great military roads of the Romans, reach ing into every part of the Empire, and affording means, for the easy and rapid transposition of troops, were more effectual in preserving the unity of tbe Empire, when corrup tions aod dissensions had entered her Councils, than all other influences combined. Our controversy with the Herald is not upon this point. Neith er do we differ from the Herald, in regard to the importance of this sutiject,,as relating to the people of Oregon. AVe have a harder task before us, owing to the nature of our climate, than people in most of the States, in making wagon roads and keeping them in good repair. And so far as our observation goes, im provements in this direction have been sadly neglected. The reason of tbis has not been for the lack of pecuniary means, for money enough has been directed into useless chan nels, if judiciously expended, to have furnished us with as complete a sys tem of roads as the wants of the State require. The people scattered through the farming sections of the State, appear to be too indifferent to the subject. They do not seem to recognize the fact that the character of the roads, affects the value of the ! lands through which they pass, and that all money expended by them in this direction, will come back to them with more than compound interest in the increased value of their real estate. We differ from tbe Herald in regard to the kind of roads to be built. He advocates the building of plank roads, we believe McAda- mized roads best adapted to the country. We object to plank roads for the following reasons: 1st., We believe them to be more expensive in the end, than McAda mized roads. The Herald places the cost of plank road, at a rougb esti mate at $4,150 per mile, which we believe to be a low estimate. This estimate is based upon the supposi tion that the road be built sixteen feet wide. In our view a narrower road would not answer the nuf poses of travel. Now such a road must be kept in such constant repair as to be renewed as often as once in six or seven years, thus expending upon the road the amount which it origin ally cost, every seven years or there abouts. 2nd. We do not believe them to be as safe as McAdamized roads. If, as the Herald suggests, they be built eight feet wide only, there is not sufficient room for teams in meeting, to pass without danger. Such a road might do for a veloci pede of which our friend of the Herald stands in mortal terror. But f we make the road sixteen feet wide, we do not avoid dancer. The planks during the dry season, not withstanding the free use of spikes will shrink, become loose, and easily displaced. During the wet season, they will swell and be thrown up, or the frosts when they come, will lieave them out of place. Besides all this, after the road has been used gr a time planks will begin to be unsound, and their unsoundness will be discovered by some horse or beast of burden, breaking through at the risk of life and limb. 3rd We do not believe tbe sup ply of timber in this country to be in exhaustible. We may now nave abundance of it in certain sections, but there is a continual call for it roui abroad. When, rail road? bring us into communication with the rest of the world, and people from the older States come among us to settle, home demands will be in creased, and. our foreign markets al most indefinitely enlarged. We do well to husband our resources. It is not safe to assume that we shall always have an abundance of timber. We may with propriety even now ask ourselves the question whether it is policy for us to lay it in the mud. With these reasons against plank roads, let us consider some reasons in favor of McAdamized roads. 1st. We believe them to be less expensive in the end. It is impossi ble to determine exactly the first cost of such a road, at the present rate of wages for common labor, as we know of no such roads recent ly bu It in this part of the State. But from careful estimates based upon prices paid for such road, years ago, we believe that it can now be buiit for at least 1,000 per mile more than the first cost of plank road. But the most expensive kinds of McAdamized road are not neces sary for country places. Road just as durable can be built of cheaper ma terials. The force of this reason lies in the fact that such a road thorough ly built will last at least three times as long as a plank road, with but slight repairs. The principal street of this city was McAdamized nearly ten years ago, and with seasonable care it is good for twice that length of time in the future. 2nd. We believe them to be safer than plank roads. Travelers and loaded teams are not exposed to those accidents which are liable to take place upon the latter. 3rd. We do not believe there is a real scarcity of durable material for building such roads. It may be scarce in some sections, so is timber. We know there is plenty of it in this vicinity, without the necessity of resorting to machines to crash stones. These are our principal reasons for favoring the building of McAdam'zd roads instead of plank roads. We are glad the Herald has called at tention to this subject, and we close with its wish, that farmers and busi ness men will give expression to their views upon the same topic. " Who first originated the idea of a Pacific Railroad" is a question that has recently been discussed over the signatare of many applicants for the distinction due tbe real, original projector. John King, of Dubuque Iowa, has recently furnished us with a slip from his forthcoming history of Dubuque, in which it claimed that one John Plumbe first suggested the project for a trans-continental rail way, and pushed the matter irpon the attention of the Congress. We have recently heard the claim made in be half of the late William Cary Jones and the Rev. Eleazer Williams, the reputed " Lost Dauphin.'' But the earliest dated record that has come to our knowledge is presented in credit of Chateaubriand, who prophesied railroads, and the construction of railroads across this continent. Prob ably it a is a matter of small moment, the decision as to who first suggested or foretold the construction of our great railroads but the Ceutral Pa cific Railroad directors would undoub tedly feel obliged to the volunteer committee that would determine the matter past question, so that the first locomotive that makes the through trip may be most appropiately named. By the way, Judge Crocker is report ted as periodically an invalid over the duty assigued him of baptizing the new stations along the line of the Central. Why not give all these clainients a township immortality. Their names are, with a single excep tion, sufficiently short for handy da ting a rule in the by-laws for the christening of the new localities and future city depots of the great highs wav. 'Tbe triiietis gays that the peo ple of Corvallis are awaking to a sense of their duty on the question of temperance. At a recent meeting of the society. Prof. E. P. Hender son, of Philomath College, spoke. He took ultra grounds in favoi of Prohibition, and favored moral and legal suasion for the suppression of the rum traffic. Mr. Adam Holder made some telling thrusts. The cheering of the audience was proof of their being well received. Itev. C. H. Wallace made some remarks, and gave notice that he would intro duce a resolution at the next meeting of the society, calculated to evoke discussion and tend to bring politi cians out, on the Temperance ques tion. A correspondent leaving Albany writes to the Register : Our friend Upton, of the Signal, was on board. His supply ot " pictures" was ex hausted, but in response to the im portunities of your correspondent in behalf of herself and a number of anxious companions, graciously prom ised to send a number of copies to my address when a new edi tion comes out. The Southern Methodists have "reconstructed him" and his improvement in appearance is remarkable. If politics and whisky do not get the better of him before the Legislature gets tired of 41 ad journing from day to day," I shall be happily disappointed. The Young Men's Christian As sociation of Portland have entered upon an all important task. At its meeting held on the evening of the Sth a resolution passed providing for J a districting and canvassing the city to ascertain, as lar as possioie, ine religious wants of the same. .How many families have Bibles and how many have not. How many children go to Sunday-school and how many do not, and other interesting and im portant statistics. Complaint is frequently made in regard to the liability of Revenue stamps to desert their trust and leave the owner in a lurch. Much of the difficulty is due to wettiug the stamps only on the gummed side. This causes the expansion of one side more than the other; hence the stamp ad-, heres imperfectly, and when dry, is liable to peel off. Wet both sides and affix, and a very little gam will cause it to adhere to box, paper or bottle, with perfect security. The Hon District Attorney for Benton county is a velocipedestrian. COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY. OLD INTELLIGENCE HISSELF4. Judge Hoar, the Attorney Gener al, had no other claim to a seat in the Cabinet than that urged proba bly by the Massachusetts delegation, as one of the early Abolition martyrs, who some years since was sent away from Charleston, South Carolina, where he bad gone to defend & Mas sachusetts negro from the operations of a municipal vagrant law which had been enforced against bim by the local aathorities. The probabiU ities are that if John Brown had es caped the gallows he would now be a Cabinet functionary or a carpet-bag Senator Beriah Brown. . Beriah, you are off the track in your pursuit of Judge Hoare, of Massachusetts whom President Grant has called to his Cabinet. " E. R." Hoare is a son of the Judge Hoare who, in Nullification times, visited Charleston, South Carolina, and sought to pacify the fire-eaters, but in return was grossly insulted, and barely escaped being tarred and feathered in the streets of Charles ton simply because he hailed from Massachusetts. The Register says that an ex tensive coal bed has been discovered on the East Fork of Lewis River, twenty miles from Vancouver. The vein is 14 inches thick and 7 feet in width. Out croppings were discov ered last fall by E. L. Dole, and a joint stock company of eight incor porators was formed to prospect and open the hypothetic vein. Three tunnels have been run for that pur pose. The Sth of March the vein was struck, and the anticipations of the company are fully realized. There i3 much excitement over it, and a general rush to take up claims in Clark couuty. A correspondent of the Gazette writing from Polk county says: Hon. P. C. Sullivan has taken his stand with us for Prohibition, and says that from this time forward he will raise his hands and voice, and use his money, so far as it will go, against the great National evil in temperance. He delivered a tem perance lecture for us, at Pleasant Hill, on last Friday evening; and to say that it was good, would only give yon a faint idea of the pleasing and masterly manuer in which our cause was defended. A Gentleman who has lalely ex. plored the islands of Pyramid Lake, in Utah, which are avoided from some superstion by the Indians, says that it is impossible, during the incu bating season, to walk on the islands without stepping on the eggs of gulls, ducks, pelicans, and other aquatic fowl. Two small rocky islands are alive with rattlesnake, which bask in the shade of almost every stone; so that an intruder is often treated to a seranade of a dozen or more rattles of various degrees of power' and shades of tone. licfering to the suits for ricrht of way brought against "obstinate" par ties by the O. C. R. R. Co., the Ore gonian says: A majority of land owners through whose premises the railroad is to pass have freely given the right of way. Those who decline either to give the right of way or to allow the road to pass for a reasonable compensation, seem to bo acting on the idea that this is their opportunity to 41 make a good thing," by setting up extrava gant claims. Tbis, certainly, is not a wise or intelligent policy. Falls of St. Anthony. An eastern exchange says, it is stated that the Falls of St. Anthony are rap idly undergoing a change; that during the spring of 1859 they receded about two hundred and fifty feet to the middle of the river, and nearly one hundred and forty feet further the next spring. It is not improba ble that, in a few years, they will be destroyed altogether, leaving nothing behind but a long reach, of rolling and tumbling rapids. The First Newspaper.- The 21th day of April will be the anniversary of the first publication of the first American newspaper the Boston News Letter which appeared on April 24th, 1704. It was printed with large type, on a very small sheet and the first number contained a speech of Queen Annie to the British Parliament, some local items and one advertisement. The News Let ter had no rival in America until 1721. The snow sheds erected over the track of the Central Pacific Railroad Is 22 miles in length by 1G feet in width and 16 feet, high, 40,000,000 feet of lumber was used in its con- strnction. and it covers an area of nearly 43 acres. Mr. J. G. Blaiu of Maine was elected Speaker, and McPherson clerk of the House for the 41st Con gress. Maine amendment. has ratified the 15th Dr. McAfee has been held to auswer to the charge of murder. Suits for lUglit of Way. The O. C. R. R. Company has commenced suits ia the Circuit Court for this county for the right of way in all cases where owners of land through which the road is to pass are unwilling to grant the same upon terms offered. A number of these suits have already been settled and others probably will be. Up to this time Court has been occupied with other business, and the right of way cases are still to be tried. The disposition of Attorneys for the defendants is to secure peaceable set tlement of these cases, recognizing that great public enterprises should be encour aged, instead of hindered by yexatious proceedings. The same course was pursued by the At torneys of Marion county, at a term of the Circuit Court just held in Salem, and the result was that only one case went to trial all others being compromised on favor able terms. In this case Wm. Lerwell was defendant. Judge Boise charged the jury as follows : The issues in this case on -which you are called to pass are : First, the value of the land taken by the Company for the road ; and you will find the value in your verdict. Second, The amount of damage done to defendant's land by the passage of the road through it ; and in this part of the case you will be confined in your es timate to injuries complained of by defend ant in his statement of the injuries, in his answer, and in his answer he complains that he is damaged : First. Because the road passes through his enclosure; Second Because it passes through his farm in such a way as to leave his premises in bad shape making them of inconvenient use as a farm. In your verdict you will find what the damages are which the defendant has sus tained, by reason of these injuries which are so alleged, and you will not inquire of the damages which are not specifically set forth in the answer. You can find any sum as damages, which in your judgment is just, not exceeding the amount claimed by defendant in his answer. And on this question of damages, the measure is this : the reduction in value of the premises by reason of the road passing them. The question is, what less will the premises be worth. The jury awarded the defendent the ex act amount of damages tendered by the plaintiff, which, by the statute, threw the costs upon Mr. Lerwell, and made his liti gations rather expensive. We advise all persons interested to read the charge of Judge Boise carefully, and then decide if the benefits to be derived from the con struction of the road will not prove ade quate compensation for any inconvenience they may be subjected to. Remember that this railroad is indispensibly necessa ry to the prosperity of the country, and we can offer little inducement to secure the immense capital needed to build it. and therefore cannot afford to raise any impediment to its progress.
