Yankee Hypocrisy.
A few weeks sineo some Yankee niaru -
f nt'irer3 from Mass-iclms.-tia ire, ported
into that State a larce n amber of China
mn fr th purpose of tMnplovhig then,
under a slave contract to work in the six v
factories. fis State, whiclhas been th.
mo?t loud-mouthed ajrainst African t'av
?ry, wanted lo inaugurate another system
of slavery in tier tiiM-t. and the State ai -t
Srilies promised the moon-eyed Colo. -t'uhs
all tbe necessary protection if th y
would go to work and fill their labor con
tract. Hut it appears that the laboreis
whom these heathen slaves were to sup
plant were determined that fhey should
iot be ousted by them, and John came to
the conclusion thai he had better bres k
the contract. A portion of them went to
Njw Yor&, where the indignation was p0
gre it tlQt even the few who had formerly
been at work there were obliged, to give
up "the p
ursuits in wbioa they had been
ongrtd. and Mr. John could lind no wtrk
with safety there. A bill to proh; bit the
i nportaiioa of Chinese under l.;bor con
tracts (another nr.me for slavery) was in
....!.. i : ,1. . ai . . w . .
"lujeu i.i i:.e ..lassacnase.rs Legislature,
whh was tabled. This shows .vlu ther
that holy and moral Sta'e is opposed to
slavery or not when she can make us; of
it in her factories and enrich her capital
ists. But the hypocrisy of the Puritans
is so well established that it needs no ar
gument from us to prove the fact. But
we wish to call the a; ten lion of the labor
ing men of this coast to this fact : In Idas
sachusetts the Chinamen weie prevented
Gfroia supplanting the while men and
women : also m New York, vet on this
coast, where the rat-gsi-ing heathen ; Lave j
desolated whole towns, made business
stagnate In many others, taken the bread
out of the raouthjof hungry w hile child
ren, to turn over" rir iv.rniugs to their
masters abroad, are ttnie'.ly allowed to
continue this plan of encroachment upon
-ihe rights of the laboring white men and
-women, while even in Massachusetts pub
lic sentiment will not !? tab. the dt'grr.d.i-
tioii of white laborers lower
th.'.n they
0 have already come. Can any on
why Sli e Chinese Lave an'
u reason woy mo cuinese .'jave auj better
rights here in Oregon and the Baeinj
:OAf-t than (hay gliouid enjoy in lue last-a-n
States? Certalr;!y not. They are a
detriment and injury to ev rv clas ;n our
community. Then why not make a d--
snnnd that the "equal rights" which the
Radicals claim that they possess shall and
iiitist be taken from them. The whi'e
laborers are
strong enough to make
this demand, and if m ule in a proper titati
uer tlercqueit would have to be ac
ceded to. It is useless to say that the
capitalist is benefitted by this class of
hbor. He is not. and unless he is a fool,
he can see that every Chinaman is an in
jury to this whoie community. We take
our own town to ii'nsh a'. this fact. About
o yetirs since. Chinamen were employed
in tuo Oregon City Woolen Factory.
From that day to this, trades of all kinds
have beh decreased, rents have ccme
down, and no matter how many factories
ma
be erected here, as long as thev em-
ploy the moon-eyed curse that
is in our
midst, bu.-.ini'S3 with the me; than

chaniCfOud farmer will be r.o better than
at present. The factory which is now in
operation here Is capable of employ ing at
lean 75 white men. Allowing thai one
half of these are married, it. would bung
37 familietj here. This would mike a de
mand fVsJ) just that number cf dwelling-",
n:.d the unmarried men vould support
their earnings at least two good, ho
tels. This labor is'now done by that num
ber of rat-eater?, who live iu rite small
fhananl their board is furnished them
by their masters, from China, from which
no white man receives at
benefit wd.at-
ver. The trad; to this factory alone for
ihe clothing ot that number of white fami
lies would amount Q as much as Ju; dii
JoVence in the wcges makes, or nearly s
But from the Chinese Ihe owners of the
f'tclory receive no benefit, while they look
to the white men and women to consume
their f,ibri5. The laboring white men in
tin sasi w in not come to ti.is c '
they know that they mus
compete vvi;!i
the Chinamen when tnev com, 1
keep.? hundreds of people trom oar State,
aind while the China labor fv stent is tol
erated in our State we can lock for no
gieat or immediate improvement in our
business circles. The late campaign -,v.is
Made against this Chinese question as much
a any other. The people have selected
men who are pledged against the interests
of these rat-eating Leatuens. and we nope
action will be had as to force the.;e Chi
nese out at our fctaw eu.irciy, or m rjie it
so that it will be iuipossiide. for ihem to

can see no good that will in the long run

uow with the inland transportation the
people of this State will be completely in

worst feature in this monopoly. He ex

Tils SLliries of cur State Officers.
' Some of the Radical papers are. terribly
alarmed already about the proposed in
crease of the salaries of our State officers.
Ihey claim that Oregon wiil go Radical
in 1S72, and ss it wit! take four years to
amend the State Constitution, it will not
be for the benefit of the Democracy but
for the Radicals, which they say will be
elected two and four years hence with so
much ease, but which will not be. The
move to increase the salaries of our State
officers will not affect those who were
elected at the last election, as their salaries
cannot be increased or diminished during
the term of their office. They say that
the Democracy, as soon cs they get into
power, propose to double the salaries ol
their officers, thereby increase the much
complained of burdens of taxation. We
venture the prediction that the salaries o:
all the State officers could be doubled un
der an honest and economical Democratic
State administration and the tax for State
purposes hi reduced. There are other
places where the people's money has been
squandered, and not a legitimate salaries.
If tbe State officia's were to receive double
their present salares it would only be
33,800 increase per annum, while the in
ducements to the officers to administer the
aT.iirs of the people in an honest and
faithful manner would far exceed this sum
There are plenty of places wdiere this
amount can be chopped of"."' and among
them is the 800 paid to C. A. Reed as
Adjutant (general, and the- printing of his
reports, $200 more, which are about as
much use lo Oregon a;, a fifth wheel is to
a wagon. If the DemocTae3r increase the
pay of honest ofMeers, the people need en
tertain no fears that the present high taxes
will be increased, but on the contrary
they will be reduced. The State Govern
ment of Oregon was organizes! at a time
when her population was small, and had
the Constitution provided for high salaries
the people would have rejected it. But
we Lave grown, and our taxable property
lias more than doubled since the State
was admitted, and while the Radicals had
increased the State taxes from one and a
half mil: on the dollar to five and a hull,
wiih the huge increase of taxable prop
erty, they Lave not increased thos salaiies
of the State officers, but s-fjuandered the
money which has been collected trom the
tax-payers for unknown purposes. Dur
ing Whitcaker's administration, when the
salaries were the same as under the Radi
cals, a State revenue of about $40,000 per
annum left a surplus in the State Treasury,
while the revenue has been increased so
i hat tho State now collects about $2."0.
000 per annum. Will any one say that

The Herald says :
We are called upon to cbronicle the
most fearful accident which has ever taKen
place in this city. The Senator, which
was returnirg from the Emmet Guard ex
cursion on Monday, had scarcely made her
landing when the gang plank gave way
precipitating into the river some fifteen or
twenty persons, many of them ladies and
children. The plank was resting on a
-drop apron." which Jrom some cause
proved insufficient to bear the weight of
ttie people who were oa the plank. The
sight struck terror to the hearts of many
who witnessed the scene ; but brave men
reckless of their own lives, plunged into
the river and rescued the unfortunate,
people who were struggling in the water.
It was thought thought that all were res
cued, but it was soon discovered that a
lady named Mrs. Bellian was missing.
Search was instantly made for her, but
without avail, and it soon became appar
ent that she had been drowned. At an
early hour yesterday morning her body
was recovered by W. llartly, a short dis
tance from the wharf. The coroner was
notified of the fact, and held an inquest
upon the body of the deceased.
Sheriff Craig, of Union County, arrived
in the city last evening, haying in charge
three prisoners en rtnde for the Penitenti
ary. The names of the convicts are as
follows : Geo. Dodson. convicted ou the
charge of murder in the second degree
and sentenced for life : John Allen and
John Joseph, sentenced for three years
each, having ueen convicted of grand
larceny.
From a gentleman who arrived in the
city yesterday from Astoria we learn that
a son of Captain Ilobson. of the Josie
McNear, was drowned near Clatsop beach
