I MISREPRESENTATION, When the leaders and press of a party have to, and do, resort to misrepresenta tion and fraud, in o-der td secure party success, it is high time for every honest member of that 'party to cast about and ascertain if honor and good conscience do not require him to cut loose from it, and oppose its nefarious schemes. Tbe Repub lican party is reduced to that detestable position. Every candid person who bas read lhat portion of theRepublican amend ment to the Chinese treaty which admits Chinamen to our schools, and accords to Chinamen all the rights and privileges en joyed in this country by the citizens and subjects of the most favored nations, must admit that ths Republican party thereby labored to secure Chinese immigration to this? country. Every person who ha; no ticed the rapid increase of the Chinese population on this coast, within the past year, must admit that that party has been v?ry successful in its Chinese immigration pcheme. Every person who reads the rad ical papers, must observe that they are the warm and energetic champions of the Chinese residents of this country, and that they carry this Chinese preference to the extent of denouncing and opposing white laborers, and are now charging the decrease of wages on this coast to the emi gration from the Atlantic States, 61 white laborers. Yet these same papers will la-; bor assiduously to convince the people that Chinese immigration is decreasing, in stead of increasing, and that it is not the Republican, but the Democratic party, that is responsible for the Chinese immi gration to thi3 country. As a case in point the daily Oregonian, ot the 3d inst,, says that Mr. John Stuart Mills, (of England), in response to a letter addressed to him by a gentleman of California, asking his views on the general subject of Chinese immigration to America, and its probable consequences, says : He believes that if Chinese immigra tion should attain very great dimensions the result would be economically injuri ous to the mass of the present population; but he thinks it highly improbable that those people will come here of their own accord, in such large numbers as to com pete injuriously with American labor. e We also think that the Chinese would not come here in such numbers as to be injurious to the mass of the population of this country, were it not for tbe induce ments held ont to them by tbe Republican party. Rut the Oregonian continuing, says : This is a sound opinion, and. thongh Mr. Mills cculd not well be aware of it, the fact is very apparent here that the Chinese population in America is now rather di minishing than increasing. For several months more Chinese hare been departing Irom than entering California. The last steamer from San Francisco to China car ried seven hundred ; the last steamer but one took upwards of one thousand. The arrivals, on the other hand, are now not rj numerous as they were several years ago. Very few are born in this country, and of those now here none expect to re main. . - . , - The" radical parly is driven to the wall, and is in a desperate condition, when it has to call upon Englishmen, thousands of miles distant from the scene of action, to excuse and extenuate its accursed and destructive mongrel policy. The Oregonian ignores th fact that the Jeannle Alice brought a eargo of Chinamen to Portland last spring, and that thousands f Chinamen .have arrived in California and Oregon within tbe past jear,nd -that they are now being taken to the southern States by tens of thousands. But because two steamers this fali took from San Fran cisco something less than two thousand Chinamen, it announces that the Chinese population of this coast is decreasing, in stead of increasing. Again, tte Oregonian cannot, and does et, fcnow that the Chinamen now here do ' not expect to remain, and such assertions are- eertawly made for tie sole purposes of blinding the people, and quieting the fan of thoflo Republicans who do not endorse the Chinese immigration policy of the Republican party. We do not believe that such men can be caught or retained by such unreasonable and silly twaddle and chaiT. Rui again, that paper wishes to shift the odious responsibility of the Chinese immi ' gration scheme from ihe Republican to 1hc Democratic party, and forthis purpose r sorts to further misrepresentation. It ftiys; , They do sot &omP in families to settle, and were it not for tho schemes of south ern planters to bring them in and work them under the coojbj system, ue should eeno reason to wippo that their num bers in America would ever be au.rmon mI so as to much exceed tb ratio Hn'y bear at present to our wbjte popula tion. The whole importance which ttt qvteg tion has yet attained in this country is fic titious and ephemeral, because that impor tance iiasnot grown out of the appearance of the subject in any great social and eco nomical asp-act.but has proceeded from the efforts of political charlatans and office -hunting demagogues who have found it a good card to play for partisan purposes. J!ut every agitation of this character must necessarily be short-lived, the ''Chinese question'5 as a political lever, has already lost its power. Tbe Democratic party can make nothing more of it. The aci n of So ithem Democrats, who are the only persons p- oposi- g 'o import CL ne u 1 ibor, completely contound the petty e'ena gognes of that party in "the Northern btates who have beeu using th'w thing as a political weapon. Stop tfieae coolie im portation schemes, and thero w no danger that the Chinese will ever come to the United States in such number a to do in jury to the mass of the white working population.. Were the South now, as it once was, the Radical papers might, with some plausibility, talk about Southern Demo crats and the Democratic South. But at the present time the'subjugated people of the Southern States, are under the abso- ,,lto control of the unprincipled and ty- havo deprived them, hot only of all po litical rights; but have also forcibly, or fraudulently taken from them their lands and other property. As an evidence of this, the Morning Chronicle of Washing ton City (a Radical paper) has an adver tisement from two to five columns in length-, every day, by which tbe Southern emigrant society (composed of Northern speculators) advertise Southern lands and homesteads for sale cheap. And as a further means of ascertaining the political complexion ot the ruling ele ment of the Southern States we will take a glance at the Congressional Directory of the Fortieth or last Congress. From it we learn that the United States Senators from Alabama are : Wii.t.aud Wakxkk. was born in Ohio, was in the army and was mustered out in 1865 : was then elected and served two years in the Senate of Ohio, and was elect ed United States Senator from Alabama in July 1808. 0 The Directory does not State that he ever resided in Alabama, at all. Gkorge E. Spkxcer, was born in Jeffer son county, New York ; was in the army ; was appointed Register of Bankruptcy in the 4th District of Alabama, in May 18G7, anl in July 18G8 was elected United States Senator from that State. Her Representatives in Congress are : Fkaxcis W. Keixooo of Massachusetts, who went to Alabama as collector of in- ternal revenue in 1865. Giiart.es W. Buckley who was born in New York, and after the surrender of the rebels in Alabamawas appointed Super intendent of education for the Freedman's Bureau of that State. Benjamin W. Nonius, born in Maine, was a pay master in the army, and after the surrender settled in Alabama. Cuari.es W. Pierce, who is not favored with a biographical sketch. Perhaps his character was too prominently bad for that. John B. Catxis, born in Fayetteville North Carolina, in 1828, went to Tennes see in 183-1, and in 1810 went into Wiscon sin. Joined the7 army in that State. Set tled in Alabama in 1SG5, and was at that time a Brevet Colonel in the regular army. Resigned his commission in 18GS for the purpds of taking a seat in Con gress. Thomas IIauguey, born in Glasgow Scotland. 3 It is hardly necessary to add that all of the foregoing memb'ers are 'I good union men," aud very loyal to the Republican party. We have not space sufficient to give biographical sketches of all the members from the "Democratic South," and have been thus particular in giving short bio graphical sketches of the members from Alabama as a sample of the whole batch of tbe 'members of Congress from the other Southern. States. Hereafter, we shall merely give the num ber and political complexion of the mem bers from each Southern State. 'With one or two cxceptionSjjtbey are all hangers on of the army and carpet baggers. Arkansas has two Senators and three Representatives, all Radicals and loyal to the Republican party. Florida has twro Senators and one Rep resentative, all carpet baggers, and loyal to the party in power. Georgia has no Senator, but seven Representatives? in Congress," all of whom Are carpet baggers of recent importations from the New England States, except one, and all Radicals except one. " Louisiana lias two Senators and three representatives in Congress, all of whom are Republicans. There are two vacancies. The Second District was represented by James Mann, a Democrat, but he died in September 18(8, and his seat is now claimed by Simon Jones, a Republican of tbe white trash order, by J. W. Menard, a negro, and by Caleb S. Hunt, a Democrat. The Democrat was put last in the Directo ry, as above given, and there can be but little doubt that be will come out last in the contest before a Radical Congress One of the blacks will get it, and it mat ters little which is the fortunate man. The third District was cairied by the Democrats, but the seat is contested by the defeated Republican candidate, not on the ground that the Democratic candidate elect received illegal votes, but because he U ineligible. Congress will oust the Democrat and let the Republican in the good of the party demands it." Norvni Carolina has two Senators and seven Representatives in Congress, all of whom are Republicans, except one, and be is a conservative. gorru Carolina has two Senators and four Representatives in Congress, all of whom ari Radicals and very loyal to that party, - Texas and Mississippi not represented, and cannot fce uriil they adopt the I5tb Ajhcjidroent, gotten jjp the purpose of manufacturing tbs Chinese iLt Radical voters. East Vikgi-ia not represented at that time. West Virginia Las two Senators 8yd three Representatives all of whom are loy al to the corrupt party in power. If Democrats controlled the business or the politics of the Southern States their farms and homesteads would not be ad vertised for sale by Nortbren speculators, neither would they send to Congress the kind of men which now misrepresent those States. Yet, in the face of these facts, tbe Ore goninn, and other Radical sheets, are con tinually prating about the ' Democratic South' procuring Chinese laborers to work their plantations. These things are done for the purpose of deceiving and quieting the people until the loth Amend ment shall be adopted, or reported to be adopted by three fourths. of the States, and the naturalization laws changed, by striking out the word white, then we will be told about the Chinese voting, as the Oregonian told ns about the negro that 4 h who don't know that the negro will vote in every State in the Union is far be hind this progressive age." KEPIBL1CA. DUPL.1CITY. The Daily Oregonian of the 8th inst.. in an attempt to manufacture capital for the Republican party in general, and for Senator Williams in particular, says : 2 Senator Williams has introduced a bill in the Senate to prohibit the importation of Chinese into the United States on the "coo He" system, and to punish tbe same with heavy , penalties. This suits us exactly. It is in accordance with the policy always advocated by the Republican press. But it will be terribly severe on the late slave holders. the Southern Democracy, who have got contracts with Koomanschap for thousands of Chinese laborers at nine dol lars a month and a few pounds of rice and a few ounces of bacon per week for food. Senator Williams is right. By all means let us prohibit this traffic in what is':virtu ally slave labor. The introduction of this bill is like the Senator's proof that twenty miles of the Oregon Central Railroad was finished, all manufactured for political effect, and has no foundation in fact. Put unfortunately for the Oregonian, the capital it expects to make out of this little affair, accredited Sen ator Williams, is destroyed by other articles which appear in the same paper. In an other article it says : We publish to-day a highly interesting article relating to the Chinese in America. It is prepared from authentic sources, and its statements are undoubtedly reliable. The figures presented make it? evident that the number' of Chinese in the United States is increasing very little if any. 1 h details of the article are worthy attentive study. The article referred to in the last ex tract contains the following passage. The objection to the Chinese coming to this State, on the ground that they arc "voones, " or not iree agents, ii so easily refuted, that it is remarkable that such a delusion should be entertained by any cit izen of the United States. No Chinese emigrant 'can leave any of the Chinese ports for this country without a permit from the resident American Consul, whose duty it is to see that every one ot them goes on board free, and to satisfy himself of that, fact before giving his seal to their pass. In this State there is an Emigration Agent, whose duty it is to see that those who arrive are the same that were passed by the Consul in China. Some time since, we published a por tion of an Act of Congress which act pro hibits the importation of Coolies into this country, and authorizes the infliction ol heavy penalties for its violation. Unless the Senator is an ignorant Ass, he is cer tainly familiar with this law, and knows that it is unrepealed and in full force to day. Now if this law is n'orccd, and the coolies are thus prevented irom coming to this country as stated in the Oregoninn what is the use of Senator William's bill ? The distinguished aid erudite Senator is not opposed to other Chinamen immi grating to this country, it is only the coolies who are already, prohibited and prevented from coming here, that he is la boring so patriotically to keep away. The Senator and his friends are guilty of some very silly and absurd political maneuvering. It the law, now in existence prohibiting the importation of coolies, does not-pre vent them from coming here, a te-enact- meht of the same or a smilar prohibitory law will not keep them away. But the Oregonian says that the coolies are pre vented from coming to this country un der the present law and regulations. If these, are facts, the distinguished Senator has some other object in view which he hopes Ins ante Coolie bluster will assist him in reaching. The fact is, the Senator is very anxious to be returned to the United States Senate' again, and true to tbe Republican policy of deception, he has adopted this plan of ante coolieism for the purpose of making the people believe that he is opposed to Chinese, immigration to this country. Does he think that the people are fools anl that they can be cajoled and hum bugged in this way ? If he does we be lieve that he Is greatly mistaken in his views, and that the result of the'eext elec tion will prove it. . In addition to this, Serator Williams has in common with the Republican party, three great objects in view at the present time, which are : 1st To encourage and induce Chinese immigration to this country and cheapen labor. 2nd Then enfranchise the celestials and vote them for the Republican party. 3rd To deceive the people and keep them in the dark as to the true intent of the Republican party until these objects shall have been accomplished. Truly, Senator Williams is a faithful Representative of the Republican party. Tho annual election of Directors of the Willamette Falls Canal and Lock Co.. was held in thi3 city on Monday last. We understand that the same gentlemen who served last year were re-elected. B. Gold smith. Esq.. of Portland. President : S. Uuciat, of this city, Secretary. COURTESY OF BANCROFT A PAIiTJSAV COUllT. - On last Tuesday wc had an exemplifica tion of Republican5 honor, honesty and justice, in our County Court' : But before giving a statement of the partisan feeling manifested on this occasion it will be necessary to relate another cir cumstance which occurred some time since. Last fall some mules were stolen from this vicinity. A warrant was issued and plac ed in the hands of Mr. Myers who went in pursuit of the thief and stolen property. The thief was arrested and the stolen prop erty recovered, and taken possession of by the Sheriff, and the thief placed on' anoth er horse, which ho said was his own, and they started, for this place? In fringing the prisoner in, Mr. Myersrode in front, one deputy at the side of the prisoner, and another behind bim. In passing through some woods, however, the prisoner man aged to slip cfiVhfr horse, and ran. ,.Pur suit was rriaue, but be managed to escape. The horse was brought into town, and un der an order of the County Court was sold to assist in defraying the expenses of the search after, and arrest of, the thief. At this term of the Court, Sheriff Myer3 presented for allowance his bill for ser vices as such officer ; and, among other things, there was a' charge for $35 for mileage' in collecting taxes. This item the court would not allow. Mr. Myers then reminded .the .Court of the fact that it had allowed W. P. Burns, his predecessor, not only mileage for collecting faxes, but had also paid him $12 for a guard, to guard him while collecting. This the Court doubted, and said that Mr. Burns was as undaunted a man as ever lived, and that when he went after a man he brought him, doubtless insinuating against Mr. Myers in regard to the escape of the horse thief. Mr. Myers then replied that he did not want any guard, that he could guard him self, and, notwithst.tnding the praise which the court was pleased to bestow upon his predecessor, and ? tho insinuation against himself, he believed that he had discharged his duty well as an officer, and all the pay he asked vas that to which he was en titled by law. At this F. O. McCown intruded and asked Mr Myers if he considered letting a horse thief go, and taking the horse which the thief was riding, and selling hiin, dis charging his duty. At this Mr. Myers told Mr. McCown that his insinuation was a falsehood, and that it was not. the first falsehood he haduttcied against him. And at this McCown grabbed a chair and made for Mr. Myers. Mr. Mjers caught the chair with his hand, and succeeded in get- tino: it away from McCown. and struck him with his fist, hitting him?a glancing blow about the head. At this time the combatants were separfed. -For thus defending himself, when thus assaulted, the court fined SherifF Myers fifty dollars, and fined Mr. McCown twenty-five dollars for making the assault. Why SherifF Myers should be fined heavier than his adversary, o'r why he should be fined at all, is very hard to account for, unless it is on the ground that he is a Democrat and his adversary a Republican, whose poimcai sentiments are me sentiments fn- tertaincd by a majority of the court. After showing his loyalty to the Republican party in this manner, Judge Matlock toou occasion to introduce the Enterprise, and animadvert upon its statement in regard to paying Jas. A. Smith one dollar for act ing as clerk for some road viewers, and two dollars and fifty cents for acting as coroner's clerk on the inquest held on the body of Thos. M. Barry, contending that the coroner was legally entitled to have a clerk, and thai such clerk was entitled to pay. That the coroner can have a clerk, if he wishes, wo do not doubt. But we deny that such clerk is authorized by law, or that he is entitled to pay out of the public funds for such services, when ren dered ; and we defy any person to show any law authorizing the squandering of the public money in this way. even if it does go to a loyal, man. We have considerable business in this court, and our criticisms upon the pro ceedings of the court may be prejudicial to us, but this fact- will not prevent us from making them whenever occasion de mands. And further, we will say that if the court attempt to" talk politics, or to inflict some little personal vengeance from the bench, we caniJot reply then and there, in kind, without danger of subjecting our self to punishment for contempt, and shall not attempt it. But. because we do not reply to such taunts or insults at the time. that Court must not think the matter ended. It is a part ot our dty as a journalist to keep the public posted in regard to - its officers and their discharge of their .duty, 1 . 11 1 . . A 1 anu we Beau enueavor to uq so. December in Oregon.

Clear Creek, Clackama3 County, Orcgoj . November 27 th, lbli'J. Editor Weekly Enterprise. As you request correspondence from the various parts of this county, I thought that a few items from thiirplace would be acceptable. jtf . 0 ' our mailHrangements Arc in such-fwretcbed condition that we honesUrfthiuk that forbearance has long sin ceased to be a virtue. In the firstftfaco, the contract was let lo carry ttftfmail from Portland, via Damascus, Eagle Creek, Clear Creek, and so on to Silverton. The gentleman that bas the contract run very regular for some time, but getting dissatisfied "with some of the road, (f;o he says,) obtained permission from the Postal Agent to change the main route by the way of Beaver Creek, and Molalla on to Silverton, leaving some four offices on the original route to be supplied with a kind of a " one-horse switch line." Our switch line now leaves Portland on Saturdays, and arrives at Cuttingsville as far as it goes on Sunday evening. Returning, it arrives at Portland on the next Saturday, performing the journey of soms forty miles and back, in the remark able quick time of just one week. And the gentleman who carries the mail on the switch route is not even very particular about making the journey in one week, the least excuse whatever will throw him back another week. At this day and age of tho world such proceedings maj be rightly termed an out rage upon the people along the route. Better take our mails away from us entire ly for then we should know what to de pend upon. The Postal Agent has been requested to light this wrong, but as yet nothing has been heard from him. This seems to us rather peculiar, as the chicane ry of which complaint is made, was Insti tuted by his predecessor in oHice. To put the whole matter in a nut-shell, it is about like this : Send our mail by the way of Molalla, and it takes three (l:ys to reach Portland. Send it direct, it takes six days. We .respectfully ask tho influence of the Enterprise to right this wrong. generalities. Times are rather dull in and about this place at present, but the future looks Lope- ful to all. , Althougn we cannot uokl out many inducements to immigrants, at present. from the simple fact that most of us own from 100 up to CIO acres each, and all think that the price of land has an upward tendency, and therefore propose to hold on a while for better prices. we are pre pared to furnish any who may wish to buy wheat, oats, hay, clc. The roads, in this part of Clackamas county are in a wretched condition. In f tct this3 is the condition of the roads all the way from this place to Oregon City. The bridge at this place, said to be the oldest one in the county, is in a vsry un safe condition. The county "Dads" have been requested to build us a new one but so much of" the public money's go to John ' Does and "'sich' that they cannot afford to do it. Respectfully Yours. Ac, St. ELMO.
