LETTER OF SENATOR WILLIAMS.
On the -fib of this month we published
the lateTtepublican amendments, or ad
ditions to the Chinese treaty. The articles,
a3 published by us, were copied from the
Oregonian of the 7th of August, 1SC3, and
which, that paper then said, was the
treaty recently concluded between the
United States and the Chinese Empire,
and ratified on the 24th of July of that
year. "We accepted the statement of that
paper as a fact, and regarded the articles
published as a correct copy of that treaty ;
and, we think the Oregonian so regarded
them too, for. until within a short time,
that paper has not denied their correct
ness, but has been zealously defending
the Republican party on the Chinese ques
tion which has grown out of these addi
tional Articles.
But finding himself in an embarrassed
Munition on this subject, the Editor of that
paper has obtained the assistance of the
llox. Geuvj;:: IT. Wiu-iams, who has writ
ten another letter lor the purpose of "fix
ing things," again. This letter was pub
lished in the Oregonian of the 7th iust.,
and from which it appears that, the pub
lished treaty was not a true copy of the
one ratified. He says :
During the administration of Mr. Buch
anan, and on the 18th of June, ltfoS, a
Treaty of Peace, Amity and Commerce''
was CGnjludeiTbetwccn the United States
and China.
During the late administration of An
drew Johnson. " additional articles'' to
the treaty of ISoS were agreed upon be
tween his Administration and the Plenipo
tentiaries of China.
When these "articles'' were submitted to
fhoj Senate the eighth one read as fol
lows : .
Art. 8. The United States freely agree that
'hinese subjects .shall without hindcrancc on ac
count of their nationality or relitrion, be admitted
to all schools, colleges and other public, educational
i nstitutions, without bcin:; subject to any religious
or political test; and on the other hind His
Majesty, the Knvpcror of China, agrees that, citi-
zensot'thc United States may freely establish
and maintain .schools in that empire at those
places where foreigners are permitted by treaty
ionwido.
I objected to this article on the ground
that it deprived States and local commu
nities of the right to control their own
schools, and upon my motion this article
was amended so as to read as tollows :
Citizens of the United States shall enjoy all the
privileges of the public educational institutions
mi'ler the control of the Government of China,
ami reciprocally Chinese subjects .shall enjoy all
the privileges of the public educational iustitu-
1i.ms under the control of the Government
;f the United States which are enjoyed in the
respective countries bv the citizens or subjects of
the most favor-.:! nations. The citizens of tiie
United States may freely establish and maintain
schools within the empire of China, at those
places where foreigners are by treaty permtted to
reside, ami, reciprocally, . iunese subjects may
enjoy the same privileges and lnimuniLic; in the
L nited States.
It is certainly a very strange inconsist
ency in the public career of the distin
guished Senator that he should be so zeal
ous in preserving the rights of States, and
communities in regard to schools, when
he is such a warm advocate of the pro
pored 15th amendment, which, if adopted,
will deprive the respective States of the
important right of determining what
classes of persons shall enjoy the elective
franchise within their respective borders.
Hut admit that Mr. Williams is a warm
State rights man on the subject of common
schools, but loyal to the core on that of
tin? elective franchise and universal suf
frage what then ? The change of Art. 8,
proposed by him. does not remove the ob
jectionable features of the Article. Take
cither the gmorJau version of this article,
or the one now offered by Senator "Wil
liams, and we find that it offers to the
Chinese the same rights and privileges, on
the subjects mentioned, that are enjoyed
by the citizens or subjects of the most fa
vored nations ; that it is a flattering and
substantial inducement to secure Chinese
immigration to this country.
Again, Mr. Williams says :
Article Cth of the additional articles,
when submitted to the Senate,' read as fol
lows :
Art. 6. Citizens of the United States visiting or
residing in China shall enjoy tlie privileges, im
munities or exemptions in respect to travel or
residence as may there be enjoyed by the citi
zens or subjects of the most taVoYed nation, and
reciprocally Chinee subjects residing in the
1 nited States shall enjoy the same privileges,
immunities and exemptions in respect to travel
or residence as may be enjoyed by the citizens or
subjects OF the most favored nation.
Objection was made to this Article be
cause it might be misconstrued" on the
subject of naturalization, and to avoid
any possible mistake of that kind, the fol
lowing clause was added by the Senate :
But nothing herein contained shall be held to
router naturalization upon the- citizens of the
United States in China, t,r upon the subjects of
China in the United States.
Well, what of that? Our treaties with
France, England, Germany aud other na
tt ns do nut naturalize and confer citizen
ship upon the citizens or subjects of these
countries. Naturalization is not effected
in this country by means of treaties, but
by the proper courts, acfiasuDdcr aiulby
the authority of tho UW3 of the United
States ; and we are not aware that any
person has claimed that the late Chinese
treaty would confer any such right upon
Chinamen visiting or residing in this coun
try. There being nothing in the treaty
which confers citizenship upon the
Chinese, we are led to inquire why this
additional port of Art. Clh mentioned bv
Senator Williams was added? We can
see in it nothing but a weak and miserable
subterfuge a blind; to induce the people
tv believe ti at the treaty ecpressly i:x
CUPKo the Chinese from tho righto of uat
uralization and fall citizenship in the Uni
ted States. But such is not the fact, for
it does not deny them the right, if they
apply to the proper authority. It merely
says that " nothing herein contained shall
be to confer naturalization" c, leaving the
Chinese, so far as the treaty is concern
ed, the same opportunities of naturaliza
tion that are enjoyed by the citizens and
subjects of ihe most favored nations.
Democrats do not condemn this treaty
on the grounds that it would confer citizen
ship upon the Chinese coming here, but
because it is the means of inducing large
numbers of that people to emigrate to this
country, and because other means are be
ing dovised to secure their naturalization
and enfranchisement, hereafter.
Upon the subject of naturalization our
laws at present provides a3 follows :
"That any alien, being a free relate
person, mav be admitted to become a cit
izen of the United States, or any of them,
on the following conditions, and not oth
erwise' And then follows the conditions referred
to.
Now, if the Chinamen arc included with
the white races, they are entitled to natu
ralization under this law ; but if not in
cluded, they are not entitled to such natu
ralization. They are certainly not vrbite,
and a conscientious application of the
law would exclude them. Cut Senator
Williami says :
" That the Judiciary Committee -of the
Senate at the last session of Congress, re
ported a bill excluding Chine-e from nat
uralization." This is another political feint, made in
order to attract attention from the real
purposes of the Republican party upon
this China question. Have we any assu
rance that the reported bill will ever be
come a law, or, if it does, that it will not
be repealed within a year thereafter, cr
even lers time? And even if such a bill
should become a law it amounts to noth
ing else than a repetition of the present
law on the subject. The enactment of
such a law would not interpose a perma
nent barrier to the naturalization of Chi
namen, but, if incorporated in some of the
Constitutional Amendments, it might.
But is it not the intention of the Republi
can leaders to ultimately enfranchise the
Chinese? We think it is, and that such
intention is proven by the following pub
ic acts of that party :
First. The 11th Constitutional Amend:
ment is a Republican measure, and it
provides as follows " All persons born or
naturalized in the United States, and sub
ject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens
of the united States, and ot the State
wherein they reside.'7
"All persons" includes whites, Indians.
negroes, Chinamen and all other types
said to belong to the human family,, and
a person would think it sufficient to wipe
out all distinctions of race and color in
the naturalization process. Rut this 11th
Amendment, not proving sufficiently
strong and explicit for its purposes, the
Republican party has proposed another
amendment to the Constitution, to be
known as Article 15th, which is as fol
lows :
Section 1. The rights of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not bo denied
or abridged by the United States, or by
any State, on account of race, color, or pre
vious condition of servitude.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to
enforce this article by appropriate legisla
tion.
At the time this Amendment was under
consideration in Congress, the Hon. II
W. Cokbett offered the following, to be
incorporated as a part of this proposed
15th Amendment, viz :
"Cut Chinamen not born in the United
States, and Indians not taxed, shall not be
deemed or made citizens."
But Mr. Corbett's suggestion wes rejected
and we have the 15th amendment in the
shape above given.
Now, if the Radicals are opposed to the
latnralization of Chinamen, and if it is
not their intention to ultimately enfran
chise them, why was Mr. Corbett's sensi
ble suggestion rejected? Will Mr. Wil
liams have the kindness to furnish the re
quired information?
In conclua.on, we have no hesitancy in
predicting that, if the proposed 15th
Amendment is adopted, within three
months thereafter, the word "white" will
be expunged from our naturalization laws,
leaving no barrier to the naturalization of
Chinamen ; and then, if the Chinese will
consent, they will be rapidly manufactur
ed into good loyal voters. The course
pursued by the Republican party in re
gard to the enfranchisement of the ne
groes and the present partiality mainfest
ed by that party for the Chinese, fully
warrants this conclusion.
Chinamtn "Voters In Louisiana.
At least one hundred and fifty China
men are already permanently settled iu
Louisiana. A dozen ar3 working for a
share of the crop on a plantation near
Natchitoches. Seme thirty or forty are
located on Bayou Lafourche, and gave
great satisfaction to their employers. Mr.
Tye Kim Orr, an educated Christian Chi
namen, who is teaching a large colored
school at Donaldsonville the only color
ed school in the parish, "we believe says
his countrymen are very desirous of pur
chasing land and setting up for them
selves. Chinese laborers are also em
ployed on two or three plantations below
New Orleans.
In the Parish of St. Bernard there are
two colonies of Chinamen one on the
Bayou Marangonin, the other on St.
Malo. Several ot the former h ;,ve squat
ted on the Lake Borgue canal property.
They live in comfortable cabins, have
thrifty gardens, and patches of cottor,
corn and rice, but subsist mainly by fish
ing for the New Orleans market. Some
of them have Irish wives. They are of
the Catholic religion, and came from the
Phillippine Islands. Although they have
lived in the parish many years, 1 am told
by the clerk of the court that not one of
their number has ever been arraigned for
offending against the laws. As to their
right of franchise in Louisiana, that would
r-pnear to have been already settled by
the registration of seven of them and per
mitting them to vote on several occasions.
We find the above article in the Oregon
Sentinel, of Jacksonville, a Radical sheet.
The Oreaon Statesman of the 15th inst.,
another Republican paper, cor ies the ar
t;cle in a spirit of exultation, and with
taunts to the Democratic party, and with
a fling at the Irish.
It will be remembered that, the Regis
tration La.' is a radical institution, gotten
up for the purpose of ascertaining who
are loyal to the Republican party, that
they may be allowed to vole, and for the
further purpose of excluding from the
ballot box all those who are not loyal to
that party. Under such Registration Law
then, these Chinamen have been registered
and voted on several occasions, and
ihdr right to the elective franchise settled
in TjQiiisianaP Notwithstanding this, the
Press and the leading men of the Republi
can party have the brazen effrontery to
loudly proclaim that that party is oppos
ed to the enfranchisement of the Chinese.
At the time the Radical party was fas-
tening negro suffrage on the South, we
Secretary Eoutwcll Rappetl Over tlie
Knuckles.
The Albany Evening Journal, republi
can organ, rap3 Secretary Boutwell over
the knuckles for his interference in the
matter of the election in Tennessee, as fol
lows :
"Has not Secretary Boutwell made a
mistake? What is there to warrant his in
terference with a quarrel purely local?
So far as republicanism is concerned both
of the candidates for Governor in Tenn
essee have equal claims to recognition.
Bach was a rebel when he supposed that
rebellion was likely to succeed and ally
the State with the Confederates. Each
became converted under the pressure of
self-interest. And each has since acted
with the party, supporting all its measures,
including emancipation, investure of the
negroes with citizenship, and establish
ment of equal rights.as a constitution prin
ciple." Wo can hardly imagine what bond
of sympathy there exists between Secreta
ry Boutwell and Colonel Stokes. Their
ideas ia regard to the social status of Sam
bo being so widely different the former

be damned. Politics, however, make
strange bedfellows. We repeat our con
viction that Boutwell is doing well enough
with the national money bags ; but, in the
words of one of the most respectable
organs of h,s party. -What, is there to

were told, by the leaders and pres3 of
that party, that the negroes of the State
lately in rebellion, were enfranchised for
the sole purposes of securing the loyal re
construction of those States, and to enable
the negroes to defend themselves against
any tyrannical aggressions their lormer
masters might make ; but that it need not,
and would not extend to and affect any
of the former free and loyal States and
Territories.
But notwithstanding these assurances.
at the same time that Congress was fasten
ing negro suffrage on the South, that cor
rupt oligarchy quietly extended it overall
the Territories of the United States by a
little act which reads as follows :
" That from and after tho passage of
tills act, there shall be no de.iial of the
elective franchise in any of the Territories
of the United States, now. or hereafter to
be organized, to any citizen thereof, on
account of race, color, or previous condi
tion of servitude."
And this act of Congress is the sum to
tal of the proposed 15th Amendment, now
before the people of the United States.
It will be well to remember too, that the
1-tth amendment has been adopted, and
that it declares. " That-all persons born
or naturalized in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are
citizens of the United States, and of the
State wherein they reside."
The Radicals are now playing the same
A NEW CANE.
Some of the citizens of Oregon City have
presented Major Adams with a handsome,
stout, hickory cane, to supply the place
of the one he broke over McKinneys
k,i t i,o cilvpr rlate on wnicn is
engraved the Major's name, and another
which has the inscription " For Lse.
We find the above in the local column
of the Oregonian of the lGlh inst.
Being one of the parties concerned in a
little difficulty which occurred in this
place a week or ten days since, wo had
hoped to avoid saying anything about the
affair. But upon reading the above local,
and making inquiry, we ascertained that a
subscription had been raised for the pur
pose of purchasing a cane for the indi
vidual named, and we presume that the
silver plating and motto part of the story
is true. also.
Could not some of these individuals
have furnished their friend with a six
shooter also labeled " for use ?" But per
haps this suggestion is unnecessary, as
that was probably done.
In regard to this matter we can truly
say that among the gexti.emkx found in
the Republican party in this county we
have many warm personal friends, for
whom we have the highest respect and
personal regards.
But then, there is another class of per
sons here who arc opposed to our politi
cal faith, but more particularly opposed to
us individually a class of lowr, sneaking,
cowardlv scoundrels, who are afraid that
we will expose some of their villainies
and as a natural consequence hate us most
bitterly. But they have not the courage
to attack us openly and like men, but
they will slander us, or stand behind the
screen and hiss on any low cur that they
can induce to assail, or in any manner at
tempt our injury, and to this class the
cane prescntaticn party belongs.
For such persons we have no respect
whatever ; and we assure them that we
will expose their rascalities, from time to
time as occasion may require. And to
these persons who were so magnanimous
as to purchase, embellish, and present,
that cane we would suggest that if you
wish to see us caned why not take the job
yourselves? You would have a short,
but interesting time of it.
In this connection we might remark
that some such person as we have men
tioned started the report that when we
chastised Adams we let him pass, and then
struck from behind. Such statement is an
unmitigated falsehood. The fact is ; we
were in front of him, and about a rod dis
tant when we spoke to him, attracted his
attention, anl made for him but he

game in regard to the
enfranchisement of the Chinese that they
did in regard to the enfranchisement of
the negroes. Its leaders and press, will
loudly disclaim any such intention, and
apparently, become very indignant that
any such accusation should be brought
against that party.
But during the time that the necessary
preparations are being made, a few China
men will be registered and voted in dif
ferent places in the South, and the feet

the people for the final denouement. And
then, when all is ready, we will be told
that, " the person who does .not know that
Chinamen will vote in every State of this
Union, must be far behind this progressive
age."

I have thought that you, and many of
your numerous readers, would be, per
haps, interested in a short communication
from this part of the country. This sec
tion of th3 county, which is known as
Cascade Precinct, at this time, only a
very few years since contained but two
families. A great change, for the better
has come over the signs of the times here.
We have now two flourishing neighbor
hoods, each of which has a good school
house, which serves the double purpose of
school and church house. Owing doubt
less to its proximity to the mountain,
this part of the country has until very
lately been almost unnoticed. But the
unsurpassed fertility cf the soil, both of
the bench and ridge lands is attracting
hither an industrious, intelligent, and
highly respectable class of farmers. There
is here one sawmill doing very good
work. The mill formerly belonged to
Francis Revenew ; but it now belongs to
Robert Wilson, he having bought it of Mr.
Revenew. Mr. Wilson, a few weeks since,
purchased the wIidIc of the machinery of
a grist mill from Mr. Hedges of Powell's
valley; which he proposes running in
connection with his saw mill.
MiSievers of the Mountain house has
a building under way of erection in
which, when finished, he intends to keep
supplies for country trade.
The Cascade Road Company has this
summer done a vr.st amount of excellent
work on their road.
Miss Susan Corkelreas of this neighbor
hood on the fifth inst had the elbow joint
of her right arm badly dislocated.

Cascade Precinct, September Gth, 18l0.
Teuribi.k SEi.K-l.MMObATiox.-The follow
ing statement appears in the 1'all JIull Ga
zette: All the extraordinary proceedings to
the many fantastical sects whose rapid in
crease has excited so much anxiety in Rus
sia are fairly thrown into the shade by a
terrible act of self-immolation which is re
ported from the government of Saratow.
A few months ago the prophets of a new
religion made their appearance in that
part of the empire, preaching self-destruction
by fire as the only sure road to salva
tion ; and so readily was their dreadful
doctrine received by the ignorant and su
pcrstitous peasantry that in one large vil
lage no less than seventeen hundred per
cons assembled in some wooden houses,
and having barricaded the doors and win
dows, set the buildings on lire and perish
ed in the flames. The authorities are do
ing all thev can to stay the progress of
this new madness, but their task is obvi
ously a difficult one. The punishments
which the law can inflict must have little
terror for enthusiasts who deliberately
choose a death so horrible, as the true road
to heaven.

AUCTION AND COMMISSION
Sharp Hit. In condemnation of the
modern style of President and the mem
bers of the Cabinet having pleasure ex
cursions on Government steamers,
at an enormous expense fo the people,
the New York Sun, Republican organ,
says :
In despotic governments, like that of
France, the Emperor goes about in pub
lic vessels just as ho likes, but in this
country' we prefer a different system : and
the President and Secretary of the Navy
will do well to remember it in future.
Figs. Mr. refer Boushey brought
some delicious figs raised in Jacksonville
to the Sentinel office a few days ago.
Their flavor was excellent, they were fully
matured and the second crop this season.
He says if the rain holds off a month lon
ger, the third crop will mature and ripen.
Who wouU leave a climate like ours for
Alaska ?
Large Halibut. The Olympia Trans
cript says : A large halibut was caught
on Wednesday at Point-no-point, by In
dian fisherman, weighing one hundred and
seventy-five pounds, and brought up by
steamer.
News Dispatches. The telegraphic
dispatches for the week past have furnish
ed but a meagre batch of news. We give
a brief synopsis of the more important
items :
A Richmond dispatch says that General
Canity has issued his proclamation of the
result of the elections. Walker will be
installed as Provisional Governor on the
21st, and the legislature will meet October
5th. He has adopted the expunged con
stitution, and announced the following
Wells Congressmen as elected: Ayer.Platt,
and Porter ; and the following Walker
Congressmen as elected : Coyer, at large.
Booker, Ridgeway, McKensie, Miller and
Gibson.
One hundred and eight bodies have
been taken out of the Avondale coal mine
Every part has been explored, and the
engineers are satisfied that all bodies have
been recovered.
The Memphis, Tenn. .Tost, suspended on
the 11th, Gov. Senter having withdrawn
the State Printing from it.
Tho Republican convention of Chicago
adopted resolutions favoring a reduction
of excessive compensation received in the
many fees by county and city oflicials.
Wells. Fargo k Co.'s Express was robbed
of S50.000 on the nights of August 31st
and September Gth, near Malad City, I.T.
Loyal Negroes. A few days since,
near Stanford, Kentucky, a party of thirty
armed negroes rescued from the officers a
negro being conveyed to jail, for an at
tempt to shoot another negro.
Chicago special says Hon. Mr. Free
linghuysen has declined the Chinese mis
sion. It is reported the position has been
offered to Senator E. Dt Morgan, who
agrees to accept if the mission is made a
first class one. The same special thinks
J. I Cameron, son of Senator Cameron,
will be offered the port-folio of the War
Department. A Tribune special thinks the
latter report unfounded.
The Administration has appointed
Davis men to office in Texas, in opposition
to the men recommended by Hamilton.
State Fair. We have received a ticket
to the ninth annual fair of the Oregon
State Agricultural Society, to held on the
grounds of the Society near Salem, begin
ning on the 11th of October. It will be a
good place to go, for the purpose of ob
serving the development of our Agricul
tural and Mechanical interests. These in
terests ought to be liberally encouraged,
for upon them depends the prosperity and
wealth of all communities.
Pretty Goon. On the first page of to
day's paper we publish the farewell ad
dress of Agent Barnhart to his Indians.
It is not only a rich piece of composition,
but a lively satire on President Grant's
Administration and mode of selecting sub
jects for his executive favor.1" It is still
richer by the fact that it made its first ap
pearance in the leading Republican paper
of this State, the Oregonian.
Sacratii School Coxvextiox. There
will be a Sabbath School Convention held
in Salem on the Sth, 9th and 10th of Octo
ber next for the purpose of devising ways
and means of making the work more effec
tual and for the purpose of considering
any other matter that may be presented in
relation to the subject of Sabbath Schools.
AM Sabbath Schools throughout the State,
without regard to denomination, are invi
ted to send delegates.
A singular book is now being published
in Europe, says the Albany llegisler, a
practical work founded on the New Tes
tament, to which is appended a description
of Oregon and its scenery. It is written
by Rev. Father De Lorme, who has resi
ded at St. Louis, Oregon, for the last twenty-five
years, and who is now in Rome at
tending the Ecumenical Council.
California Elections. In speaking of
the elections in California the Sacramento
Record, a Republican paper says :
The election has been a complete Dem
ocratic victory. The Legislature will be
largely Democratic.
A Wicked, put Loyal People. The
Oregon Statesman says :
There are five families in sixty, or one
in twelve in this county, destitute of the
Bible, instead of one in .sixty, as we said

praise Ihe eyes of a certain minister, wrote
