Radical Xaticnal Financiering.
From the report of the Secreta
ry of the Treasury for lj year
18G6, we learn that the Revenue
of the United States collected that
year from all sources, amounted to
the round sum of 1,329,686,378.34,
or about one half -as much as the
Xational debt. Of this amount,
300,220,813.42 was derived from
the Internal Revenue system, a
system of taxation unknown in the
United States prior to Republican
?ule. Prior to the new order of
things, the Revenue of the United
States was gathered from other
.sources than direct taxation, and
the Internal Revenue system, and
gathered in such a manner that it
was not felt by the people. The
same old channels of national rev
enue arc now open and used by
the party in power, as much as
they were before and in combi
nation with this new invention for
collecting revenue.
Since the report above referred j
to was made, and it is the latest i
one avc have at our command,
there have been three years of
peace and prosperity, during which
time the material wealth of the
country has been very considera
bly developed and increased. And
during these three years, this in
ternal revenue system has been,
and is yet, in full operation, and
the income derived from it, must
necessarily have increased with
the increase of the wealth of the
'country. This internal revenue
system was created, and is kept in
operation, for the ostensible pur
pose of paying the heavy national
debt which hangs, like an incubus,
over this unfortunate trovernment :
"but the debt decreases very dis-
proportionably to the increase cf
the revenue. And, inasmuch as
the majority of our people pay
some kind of tax under this new
system of taxation, it is very natu
ral that they should have some de
sire to know what becomes of the
immense amount of money which
rolls into the Treasury of the Uni
ted States every year.
And for the benefit of those who
have sufficient interest in the wel
fare of the government to stimulate
them to such inquiries, we propose
to give a few items as guides to
their correct solution, by giving
mi
the figures as they appear in the
Acts of Congress, passed under
Democratic rule, and other Acts of
Congress, passed under Republican
domination.
By the appropriation act of Con
gress, passed on the 23d of June,
18G0, the last year of Mr. Buchan
an's Administration, and at a time
when Democrats had a wholesome
majority in Congress,' we find the
appropriations for t lie Attorney
General's Office, for the year end
ing June the 3Cth, 1861, to be as
follows :
For the salary of tlie Attorney General.
Assistant Attorney General, Clerks. -nnd
Messenger in his office $17,500
For contingent cxpenses.of the office 2,000
For the purchase of law and books
necessary for the office
For purchase of deficient State Re
port.? and Statutes,
For fuel and labor
For furniture and book cases,'.
500
500
500
300
Total S21.300
By an Act of Congress passed
on the 3d of March, I860, and at a
time when the Radicals had an
overwhelming majority in that
body, we find the following prince
ly appropriations made for the
loyal Attorney General, then in
office, viz :
For salaries of Attorney General law
Clerk, Chief Clerk, two Clorks of clJi
four, two Clerks of class three, one clerk
of class one. and one messenger .S25 200
For salaries of two assistant Attot-
o
neys General, at $1,000 each. . .
For salary of one clerk
For salary of two Clerks of class
four '
Contingent expenses of the otfi.ee of
Attorney General, uanu-ly : For
fuel, labor, stationery, furniture
nnd miscellaneous items
For the purchase of law and neces
sary books for the office ol the
S.000
2,000
3,600
10,000
1,000
Total . $-10,800
Being $7,200 more than twice
as much as the Attorney General's
Office received under a Democratic
Administration. While the Kc
publican officers of the General
Government are receiving such
princely salaries, with money
thrown in, in $10,000 piles for
miscellaneous items, the Radical
Leaders, and Radical Press, are
howling for Chinese immigration
and cheap labor. This would he a
profitable subject for Republicans
belonging to the laboring class to
think of. Will they do it ?
Rut this is only one small item
compared with other munificent
appropriations, made for other of
fice holders under the present or
der of .things, and which, we pro
pose ventilating, from time to
time.
Rut we wish to call attention, at
the present time, to another matter
now fresh in the minds of the peo
ple, and which will be provided for
in some appropriation bill, under
the head of contingent expenses or
miscellaneous items. It is this:
We have been honored with a
visit from the Congressional Com
mittee on Ways and Means, on of
ficial business, it is said; and now
we have the Committee on Re
trenchment, (what a misnomer)
together with their wives and chil
dren out on this coast on business
connected with their retrenching
duties, it is said; and at the pres
ent time, we also have Logan II.
Root, a Carpet Bagger from Av-
kansas, whom the Alta California
calls a southern gentleman, (?) he
is also on committee business, be
ing a member of the committee on
Pacific Railroads. And during all
this time, being a vacation of Con
gress, individual congressmen, and
congressional committees are tray
cling through the Southern States,
ostensibly assisting in reconstruc
tion, but really looking alter the
7 mi O
good of the Republican party, and
for improved lands which can be
purchased cheap, or had without
purchasing at all. Taking the ac
tion of the committees who visit
this coast as a criterion, they do
not stop long enough in any place
t) make investigations that will
be of any public benefit. But their
actions force home the conclusion
that, instead of being on business
for the government, they are mak
ing visits for pleasure, speculation,
and political purposes.
Yet, they are members of Con
gress, and do now, and will claim
in Congress, that they were in the
discharge of their duties as such
committee men, and will have to
be reimbursed for all their expen
ditures in such service, besides be
ing paid for their valuable time
and talent, and they will get it.
For these Congressmen are not the
men to vote other officers such
magnificent salaries and then stint
themselves, and they have the
whole matter in their own power.
Driven to tlic "Wall.
Whenever the. leaders and press
of a party are forced to misrepre
sent facts, and to quote parts of
records and documents which nev
er had an existence, except in the
imaginative and creative brain of
the unscrupulous partisans, who
make the quotation for the purpose
of retaining the blinded adherence
of the honest portions of their party
such party is certainly driven to
the Avail.
For some considerable time past
the radical leaders and press have
pursued such an execrable course ;
and they pursue it more closely at
the present time, than at any pre
vious period in the history of that
party, and we now "wish to call at
tention to a few such misrepresen
tations, of a very recent date.
The Sacramento llccord of the
21st ult.,(a radical sheet,) says that
the treaty obligation we have made
with China forbids the naturaliza
tion of Chinamen. The Oregon ian
ot the -30th, has a paragraph quoted
from the Xew York" Tribune, to
the same effect.
W e copy in to-day's paper, from
the Oregon lan of August T,18CS,the
Republican amendments of 18G8,
to the China treaty made ten years
previous, during Mr. Buchanan's
Attorney General,.
administration, and we would call! concluded under a Democratic ad
attention to the first part of the 5th ministration and that the Demo
artu le of that treaty, which reads !
1 as follows:
.
Ast. a. Tae Liuted States of America
aad the Emperor of QLa cordially re -
COURTESY OF
TIN TVFPR TTV
cognize the inherent and inalienable right
of man to change his home and allegiance,
and also the mutual advantage of the free
migration and emigration of their citizens
and subjects respectively from the one
country io the other, for purposes of cu
rioaiiy, trade, or as permanent residents.
This is all there is in the treaty
on this subject. Does this forbid
the naturalization of Chinamen?
What does the right to change a
person's allegiance mean ? It as
suredly means nothing else than
the right to renounce allegiance to
one govcrnmcnt,and be naturalized
and become the citizen of another,
and as such, entitled to the same
rights as natural born citizens of
his adopted country and govern
ment. This right is recognized in
the Republican addition to the
China treaty, which,if carried out in
good faith, means this :
The Chinese may be naturalized
and become American citizens, and
Americans maybe naturalized and
become Chinese subjects. Vet,
with this provision of the radical
amendments to the Chinese treaty
staring them in the face, such lead
ing radical journals as the Xew
York Tribune, Sacramento llecord,
and Oregonlan, have the hardened
effrontery to assert that this treaty
prohibits Chinamen from becoming
American citizens.
Again, the Oregon Ian of the 1st
of September, quotes as a part of
this treaty, the following :
"Citizens of the United States shall en
joy all the privileges of the public educa
tional institutions under the control of the
government of China, and reciprocally.
Chinese subjects shall enjoy all the privi
leges of the public educational institutions
under the control of the government of the
United Stated which arc enjoyed in the
icspecilve countries by the citizens or sub
jects of the most favored nation."
And then, argues that the Uni
ted States proposed to give to the
Chinese at the Military Academy
at West Point, and the Xaval
School at Annapolis, the same
rights that other nations have, in
consideration of similar favors ex
tended to Americans in China, and
that it was net understood or in
tended by such treaty to admit
Chinese into any other educational
institutions of the country, other
tli an those under the immediate
control of the general Government,
and of the class above named.
Xow there is no such language
in the treaty as the above, quoted
from the Oregon ian, and the Edi
tor of that paper knows it. The
only thing found in the treaty
upon this subject is found in Arti
cle 8, which see. Xow what is
the object of such misquotations
and misrepresentations on thejart
of the Radicals ? It must certain
ly be for the purpose of deceiving
the inquiring and honest members
of that party, that have shown
marked signs of disapprobation of
the Radical policy on the Chinese
question. Can any conscientious
man follow leaders whose policy
he knows to be misrepresentation
and decite, or can he adhere to a
part-, whose policy cannot stand a
fair and truthful statement of its
objects and works. Let every man
answer for himself, according to
the genuineness, or elasticity of his
own conscience.
Again, the Oregon lan says the
treaty was made under the Demo
cratic Administration of Andrew
Johnson, and therefore the Demo
cratic party is responsible for it.
This is a very shallow subterfuge.
It is true this treaty was made
during the Administration of
Johnson, and at a time too, when
that officer was over-ridden and
bound down by a radical and cor
rupt Congress. lie was perfectly
powerless. It will also be remem
bered that the acting minister on
the part of the United States in
this treaty, negotiations was Wil
liam II. Seward, Secretary of State,
and he was certainly sufticicntly
radical to suit the most zealous of
his party ; but when, or by whom
he Mas charged with that extra
duty, does not appear. It will also
be remembered that this treaty
was ratified bv a Radical Senate,
mi '
and that Andrew Johnson could
not have prevented it if had been he
Democratic, and had wished to do
so ; yet, Republican journals, with
a shameless disregard for truth,
will unblushingly assert that this
abomnible, mongrel treaty was

The Idtilio CIi"-8 Tax Case ,Y .Just
Decision.
It is a well known fact that the
Chinese come to this country and
make as much in one day as they
would in a month at home. It is
also a well known fact, that with
the exception of a few" Chinese
merchants, they never acquire any
property in this country, or con
tribute any thing towards the sup
port of the laws and government
by which they arc protected while
they are realizing such rich com
pensation ; the whole of which is
sent home to China, with the ex
ception of barely enough to sup
ply themselves with a miserable,
and scanty living. To remedy this
evil, the Idaho Legislature passed
a law, in many respects similar to
our own, imposing a special tax
upon the celestials. The Republi
can party, true to their instincts,
denounced this law as unjust and a
great hardship upon the Chinese
citizens of the United States. The
Chinese learning these things took
advantage of them and proceed
ings were instituted in the District
Court of Boise county of that
mf
Territory which resulted in the
sheriff being enjoined from collect
ing this special tax. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court of the
Territory and has just been de
cided by that tribunal, as we learn
from the Idaho IVorld. The
World says :
We were shown yesterday eve
ning, just before going to press,
the order of. Chief Justice Xoggle,
vacating the former order to re
strain the sheriff of Boise county
from collecting Chinese miners'
tax. This action of the Chief Jus
tice is at once legal, just, and most
salutary to this Territory. The
case was argued on behalf of the
Chinese, by McBride and IVickett,
Esqs., and very ably, on the part
of the Sherilf Britten, by Judge
Scaniker and Jonas W. Brown, Esq.
On receipt of the official order from
Chief Justice Xoggle, by mail
yesterday, the Sheriif and his Dep
uties started out to immediately
collect the taxes due and overdue
by reason of the restraining order,
now happily vacated. W e rejoice
at the decision : so will every tax
payer and thinking citizen.

feTCrtY OV A lilGAMIST
From the Oregon Unionist, August 30th
We propose to set forth, for the
benefit of the people of Oregon, the
particulars of the personal history
of a young man who has figured
somewhat extensively for a year
or two past before the public, and
who seems to have acquired a
greater reputation with some of
our citizens than lie seemed to have
deserved. Something over a year
ago, the clergyman of the M. E.
Church, at Portland, received let
ters from parties in England, ask
ing him if he could trace a person
residing near there, who, they
heard, was passing under tlie name
of Cleveland. The writer assumed
to be the young man's father, and
signed the name of Bycrlv. The
clergyman put a notice in the Ad
vocate to tlie effect that a Byerly,
or a Cleveland, would hear some
thing of interest by calling on him,
which brought the man immediate
ly to his acquaintance. Cleveland,
the great trance medium and lectu
rer of the spiritualists, confessed to
him that he was really Byerly, but
denied that he had abandoned
a wife in Xew Zealand. Subse
quent letters were received from
his friends, and sorrowful ones from
his wife, and the facts called out
were as follows :
Cleveland alias Byerly was mar
ried when quite young in England ;
received from his father a hand
some outfit and a cash capital to
commence business with in Xew
Zealand, where, his wife writes,
they would have done well, only
lie took a roving disposition, aban
doned her, and shipped on a vessel
for Puget Sound. His wife and
other friends took great pains to
trace the unworthy" scamp, wrote
to the Methodist pastor at Port
land, having heard that he was in
that vicinity. When that gentle
man discovered him, he had found
a wife, had married a young lady
named Tryou at Oswego, anil
bloomed into a full-grown spiritual
trance lecturer. He had taken
pains, it seems, to have papers sent
to England, reported to have been
found on a dead body floating in
the Tiver I ho lonr.vc nlf.nt;..! I
- - " - ' ' J "I'V 1 V U U 1 1 V U Hit'
drowned man as no other than him
self, for having married and chang
ed his name he wanted to stop fur
ther inquiries. Money sent to him
by his father was returned unopeii-
ed through the Dead Letter Office.
That is rather remarkable for lie
was rather inclined to appreciate
money. The letters of the wife in
England are before us now. They
are written very prettily, and the
writer hateevidently had good ad
vantages. She and her husband,
she says, were raised in the same
Methodist Sunday School.
When the Oregon Spiritual As
sociation met at French Prarie last
spring, Cleveland appeared to great
advantage before them in his char
acter of trance lecturer. He had
no particular qualities to com
mend him, and would pass for a
young man of weak intellect and
very little cultivation, who could
go to the lead considerably, and not
havefartogo. Asa trance lectu
rer he did' and said wonderful
things; said things Cleveland
did'nt do. When the spirits mov
ed him he was eloquent, or learned,
or disputatious, just as they impell
ed. As Cleveland he was a mere soft
looking, nobody," but as a trance
lecturer lie developed a surprising
change. Whatever it was it has
made him no better as a man. The
leading spiritualists distrusted him.
for they had 'taken his measure
tolerably well, and placed limited
confidence in him. The majority,
however, looked on him with won
der and astonishment. To them
he spoke with tongues and preached
an acceptable gospel. So by a ma
jority vote this bigamist and pas
se r-by-a-f 'also name, became the
chief spiritual lecturer in Oregon.
Some of these gentleman aid us
now to acquire information for tlie
exposure of this miserable scamp,
who has lately abandoned his sec
ond wife and is, by this time, in
San Francisco, to which place he
took passage by stage, at Salem,
a week ago. Perhaps avc might
have passed him by unnoticed, and
as too trifling to deserve a notice,
but not satisfied with having com
mitted bigamy in Oregon, he at
tempted to run away, last week,
with a young girl from near this
place having been obliged to lore
go his purpose, when it was vir
tually accomplished, because he
was short of funds to convey more
than himself out of the State. It
is certain that he induced a young
girl, who lives in Marion county,
to leave home and accompany him
toward Albany, then came back to
Salem and took the stage, bidding
her good-bye as he passed the house
where he had left her. He is a
scamp who will play these tricks
again, and the people of California
should be warned of his coining
and understand his antecedents.
FOR THE KJTEUPKISE.
Editor Enterprise :
An article recently inserted in
the E n tk ii n:is k under the heading
of "a revolution in geology" taken
in connection with other of similar
tenor in other newspapers, lias in
duced me to prepare one myself
for publication.
It is about ten years since my
personal observations in the vicini
ty of the Dalles of the Columbia
River led me to the conclusion that
a large proportion of the rock
ascribed to igneous origin by ge
ologists, was in reality met amor
phic. 1 expressed my ideas con
cerning it at the time to the Rev.
Mr. Condon (a geologist of no
mean acquirements) who disagreed
with me, but did not change my
niiiid bv his argument.
Three
years since, w
hile eminent men of
sciences were manipulating a thim
bles full of earth m pint-pot vessels,
striving to resolve the true charac
ter of the rock commonly called
granite, I was trudging through
the Sierras in California, studying
closely the effects produced, or the
results obtained by the experi
ments of a practical chemist that
uses the volcano for a crucible, and
wields the ice-berg as a pestle, and
with the depths of the ocean for a
mortar. At that time the proof of
the aqueous origin of granite came
to inv view as ineontcstiblv as that
of a similar origin for any sand-bar
now in the Willamette River
might appear to the most careful
observer. I have moreover at my
command, incontrovertible facts,
gathered within the scope of my
own personal observation, which
prove with certainty that the earth
has been entirely flooded at least
as high as the summit of tlie Sierra
Nevada Mountains; and that pre
vious to the flood the earth existed
with the same conditions of climate
and soil, and nearly the same con
tour as at the present day.
Furthermore, I will here state as
deliberate conviction that the ex
traordinarily large remains of ani
mals which are found imbeded in
the ice and frozen soil of Siberia
and Russian America, and are fre
quently being exhumed in this val
ley and other places on the Pacific
coast are of those which inhabited
the tropical regions of Asia that
they were drowned in the great
Hood and their remains carried to
the places where now found by
ocean currents and ice-bergs.
That what is termed in geology
the glacial tJieory is a false one.
That the changes in the earth's
surface attributed to glaciers were
mainly produced by the agency of
strong currents and floating ice in
a less number of months thantT
supposed centuries which
been assigned to the glacial vj
I am aware that at this time if
such ideas as these emanating f, 0'
an obscure person like myself 7
tract any attention at all, they'ar
likely to be treated as the idle yl
garies of an imaginative mind!
Yet I put them forth, confident i,!
the anticipation that they ji
come to be generally regarded as
truths of high import, hi science
and religion.
