Pendleton on Cninese Question. the A larrjje number of laboring men from Cincinnati and subcrbs re cently serenaded Hon, George II. Pendleton, the great xchite states man of the West, at his home in Clifton, Ohio. He responded in an appropriate speech, of which the following are extracts: I object to its adoption because it is part and parcel of a scheme to flood the country with a forced im portation of an immense number of Chinese of coolies and thus for a secoL'd time bring into our midst an alien race and to repeat in a more difficult form the social and government questions which have so unhappily divided our people. Their skilled laborers get three or four dollars a month, and with this they seem content. They work from daylight to sunset, and have but a single holiday m a year. Their food consists of rice, fait, a few vegetables and sometimes fish. The plan is Xobrin'j immense num ber of thrse people here to supjibj the demand for labor m the tields and the factories and the shops. e in Ohio have not appreciated the importance of tins movemeent I protest against it nowin time, before it is carried out before we are confronted with duties and in terests growing out of their pres ence, iliey are an alem an m ferior idolatrous race. They have not our tastes, or habits, or man ners, or developments, or religion. They are not fit to become citizens or enjoy the rights of suffrage. Amalgamation would injure both their race and ours. Isolation will give rise to great troubles. Eng land, Ireland, German v, Norway and France, have an overflowing population of our own race, similar to us in blood, in manners, in religious faith an industrious, sturdy, self-reliant self-respecting people. 1 hey are fit to become cit izens. They will mix with us, and our commingled blood is purer for the association. Let vis invite them with open arms to come to us. Let us people our country with the best races of men. But the Chinese will give us the cheap labor, cheap human labor, . I despise the word. It signifies crime and shame. It signifies squallor, degradation, ignorance, vice. Are not laborers men our fellow men? They have bodies to clothe and stomachs to feed, and minds to educate, and spirits to ele vate, and old age to provide for. They have homes which they love, and wives whom they cherish, and children whom they hope to make woithy citizens the honest fathers and virtuous mothers of a succeed ing generation. And can you re member these duties and see the aspirations; can you contemplate the patient hopefulness of cheerful and contented, because fairly com pensated industry, and talk of cheap labor? Labor is too cheap now. Labor does not receive its just reward. This country needs skilled laborers, zealous mdustiy: it needs that such labor shall not be cheap, but that it must be boun tifully rewarded. " :jc sf: It must command the efforts of an advancing civilization, and the favor of a just God, until at last the human intellect, and hand and blood, as they constitute the no bler, shall also be the better paid member in the great partnership of labor and capital. . Fuxxy Protection. We find fn the Herald a report that the lion. Hamilton Fish had instructed Mr. Washbarne, our Minister in Paris, to " offer protection to Prus sians in Fi ance, for the reason that many of our naturalized citizens came from Prussia, and that the Prussian Government had no repre sentative in Paris." Considering that the distinguished head of the State Department has never been able to protect American citizens in Cuba, and that they have been robbed, murdered, and outraged, within a hundred miles of our shore, without his daring to lift a finger for their defence, this proposal to protect citizens of a foreign coun try, on the other side of the Atlan tic, would be comical if it were not insulting. A Y. Smu Miss Baker, the newly-appointed chief librarian of the Treasury De partment, has discharged all the males that were under her. She says girls should occupy those po sitions. An exchange says Sheridan has no match. Never mind. He will burn some day without one, jast as well. OKEGOJV, SATU16IAY, SEPTEMBER 3, - Contested Election CasesWhat Con gress pays for them. Washington Cor. X. Y. Journal of Com merce. A year ago a warning was given in these letters as to what would probably be the result of several notices of contest then pending for scats in the house. The prediction has been borne out by the fact that men had gone in the contesting business with no case, no claim to a seat, no hope of gaining a con test, but for the sole purpose of getting paid lor the effort to gain a seat. I have taken considerable pains to learn the exact amount of money paid to the contestants dur ing the terms between March 4th and April 10th, 1869 ; December 7th, 1809, and July 1G, 1870. Some of these men should have been paid ; others were no more entitled to the money they received than any citizen. For instance, Joseph Scgar claimed a seat as rep resentative at large from Yirginia, which State is not entitled to any such representative. But he got $2,000 for trying the experiment. J. II. Sypher contested a seat where his opponent was elected by an overwhelming majority. He lost his case, but he got $4,"o00 for his trouble. Lieut. Mai t in, Sypher's opponent, was thrown out because he was a Democrat, and his injured feelings were soothed by a snft of 84,000. The contests are not yet over. A number remain unfinished, and several thousand dollars will yet be paid to the defeated con testants. In the following list of monies so far paid, the citizens of localities from which the worthies hail will appreciate the iniquitous example the contestant for a seat in Congress from their district has helped set for future Congresses Here is the list of names and pay ments made to them : W. F. Switzler, Nin'b Dist. Mo $5,000 Aclolph Bailey. Third Dist. La 4.000 J. L. Ziogler, Ninth Dist. Ky 2 000 Joseph Segar, at large. V a , 2,000 Frank Morey. Fifth Dist. La 3.000 G. V.

Fa 1.S00 Total during forty-first Congress. .$52,300 In addition to this sum is an amount greatly exceeding the above, expended in labor and ma terial for printing thousands of large books, containing the im mense record of evidence taken in the cases, besides the cost of pro curing a large amount of the evi dence and papers. The net gov ernment expense of these transac tions so far during this Congress is probably $200,000. -c- Franco-Prussia,n War. From the Eoone County Journal. The great war between France and Prussia has begun in earnest. As will be seen from the dispatch es, published in another column. two engagements have been had both proving disastrous to the French. At last dates the latter were in full retreat toward Pa-ris, which lias been declared by the Queen in a state of seige. This sudden triumphant victory of Prussia has startled even those who. were most sanguine of her prowess. Uwing to the superior discipline of the French army, their chivalrous valor and the immense resources at their command, it was thought to be impossible to have more than temporarily repulsed them and to have routed them only after a series of desperate engage merits; but at the first stroke of the Prussian arms they are not only defeated, but are thrown into the wildest panic-stricken confu sion, and from present indications it seems highly probable that the Prussians will put an end to the war by a sweeping and triumphant victory in less than a month. No period so momentous or so important to history is known to modern times. The destiny of the French empire is swaying in the balance, and the star ot its imperial ruler is about to fade forever. Should the Prussians win, the dyn asty of France must inevitably crumble, and from its ruins will probably spring a republic The Prussians do not tight for aggran dizement of territory, or the po teucy of governmental authority, but for the vindication of national honor, and when they shall have obtained from France such conces sion they will have no disposition to carry the war farther. The disasters of this war, how ever, brought on by Napoleon, will recoil upon himself and his crown will be torn from him by an outraged and indignant people. Already the murmurs of revolt rise indistinctly but resolutely within the French metropolis, and disaf fection and desertion are fearfully rife in the French army, while Paris rings with the popular cry " Vive la Republique." The volcano is but slumbering. It may burst forth at any moment. Napoleon staked the future hopes of his dynasty upon this war, and hence would steep France in blood and clothe Europe in sackcloth, and his failure to win will cost him his crown. These, .we believe, will be the results ot Prussian triumph the overthrow of the Napoleonic dyn asty and the establishment of a free republic. a Condemned. There is not an individual in Oregon who has been so completely and emphatically condemned as Geo. II. Williams by a large ma jority of the voters, and yet there is a paper published in his interest which has the audacity to say that many Democrats favor his re-election. We have failed to find such, and the delaration that any exist is only imagination. The hallu cination will be dispelled on the 20th of September. The Albany Democrat contains the following 1 1 -a ... paragraph in an able editorial m regard to Williams, and we may state that this is the universal sen timent of all the Dernoractic papers: No Democratic member will so foully betray his constituency and so utterly disgrace his party as to vote for one whom the people of Oregon have so signally rebuked as Geo. II. Williams; and our very able friend ot the JJulktui is "wast ing his sweetness on the desert air" in asking such a thing of them. While it is possible that Williams majht benefit either Southern, Mid dle or Eastern Oregon in Congress, yet his former course has been so erratic and dubious that very lit tle reliance can be placed upon his promises ; and the statement of his friends that a Democrat can have no influence in that body even if true, will very little longer be an argument if every Democratic voter and Legislator does his duty and assists in fast displacing those who thus show their animus to Democratic members, and would ignore the interests of a constitu ency who did not see fit to endorse their political sentiments. It is certainly high time such a body was "reconstructed," and the great est privilege our Democratic Legis lature can enjoy will be to assist that process of reconstruction by kicking out Geo. II. Williams and putting an honest, conscientious and able Democrat in his place. We know of no amount of avail able argument to induce any sen sible person to believe that Wil liams' re-election is necessary to the welfare and prosperity of our State, while his former actions have fur nished sufficient provocation for his summary dismissal from the position which he has so long used as an engine for the acquisition and perpetuation of party power. Too True. Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, in a late "letter advocating the adoption of the new constitu tion of the State, says : The tendency of .our Govern ment, State and National, is to the destruction of individual rights of liberty! and property. To prove this, and for no other purpose, I cite the revenue laws of the United States, under which arrests are made and property seized in a man ner that would at one time have provoked resistance in any State in the Union ; while, according to the modes practiced in modern times, property is taken and taxes levied under State authority for purposes that until very lately were thought to be merely private and personal and under personal inter pretations of the constitution peo ple are taxed to build railroads, sink coal shafts, erect bridges, ca nals, dams and embankments, and the many other purposes, for the mere private benefits of corpora tions and individuals, and every county,township and town is threat ened with ruin. Olive Logan says she turned her back on Mrs. Joseph Young, No. 3, when introduced to her. In re ply to which an exchange suggests that, with her natural vanity, Olive turned her handsomest side toward Mrs. Young. 1870. Synopsis of the New National Reve nue Law.

A Texas Paper Thanks God. Thank God that we have never seen nor heard of any Southern women perambulating the country with green speciacjes ana ner maphroditcapparel.preaching "wo- man s rights, as we have often seen these lamern-iaweo, tnin- shanked and forked-tonguedstrong minded women do, who hail from that region whereof Boston is the social center. We feel grateful that we have never heard a South ern woman contend that the holy ordinance of marriage should be solely a time bargain, like contracts of hire and partnership, and disso luble by consent of parties. We all feel proud of this, and at the same time, if these green-eyed spinsters of the East want to be lieve there is no God, and no fixed code of morals, and to enjoy their free-loveisrn, and drink hard cider on election days, they are welcome to do so. llryaii Appctd. The Nashville (Tenn.) linnnrr thus relates how an old holy, in that city, took time by tire fore lock : "A lady residing in the Eleventh District, generally known as old Mrs. W.,' having heard of the Franco-German war, buried every valuable thing she had, a day or two since. When asked why she did so, she replied that in the days of the revolution her father said that the British would not come, but they did, and impover ished him ; and that then, when the people said the Yankees would not come, they did, and gobbled up everything she had ; and that she intended to get ahead of the sol diers this time." s near Carlinville, Illi- akeu a contract to cut Two girl nois. have taken fifty cords of wood Extraordinary Case of Hydrophobia. o A correspondent, who isa physi cian,sends us the following particu lars of an extraordinary case of hydrophobia. His letter is datl at Toledo, Ohio, April 20th : About four years ago two men in this city had a fight in a saloonl They were both powerful men,and they had a long and bloody tussel with each other. While ficrhtin'1 one of the men had a finger badly bitten b)- the other. The finger became inflamed, and the infiama tion extended to the whole arm ; and for some months it was ex pected the man would die, but he recovered and the woumP healc up ; but as soon as the wound ha healed he began to show somo signs of insanity or madness. - He f ancied, when slccping,that the man who had bitten him was alwaj'S at tacking him, and he would wake up in a great rage, striking in every direction at his antagonist, and so he would remain for some time be fore the delusion passed off. Short ly alter this he began to see the man's shadow in water, and in all other fluids mixed with water, but it w ould not be visible in a looking glass. Other symptoms increased the first two years, and were only exhibited once a month at full moon. At the close of the third year, at every full moon, he fancied the moon was close by, and that between him and the moon stood his old antagonist in a threatening attitude. He would rave and be furious for about twenty-four hours, and then the spasm would pass away ; but in the meantime ho would not attack any other person. The novelty of the case puzzieiT all the physicians in tins city, and m this part of our State, but it termi nated at the last full moon. Just as the moon was risinghe happened to be at one of our docks on the Maumee river, and fancied the moon and his old rival were pre paring for a fight. He sprang to meet him, jumping into the water, and was drowned before assistance could reach him. The name of the man thus afflicted was Patrick Clair, an old resident of this city, and at one time an active business man. The man who bit him was a stranger, whom nobody knew, and was never seen afterward. -O- es- The N. Y. JJeratrdile Journal. one of the ablest financial papers published, .commenting on the cur rency bill passed at the late session of Congress, says : ' "It authorizes an increase in the volume of the National bank cur rency to the extent of 8-54,000,000, and the withdrawal of the three per cent, certificate, of which there is outstanding a total of -$45,000,-000. This widening of the financial edifice by issuing National hank notes and taking away a portion of the foundation by withdrawing the three per cent, certificates, which are virtually legal tenders, is highly injudicious,and vte cannot do other wise than condemn such legisla tion." The N ew York Economist , an ab!e commercial pape-r of Repub-. lican proclivities, in expressing its disgust at Republican financiering, "No political party ever threw away a grander opportunity. The administration and the majority in Congress had it in their power to secure a lease of power for at least ten years to come perhaps twenty by simply placing themselves in line with the current of popular feeling on financial questions. The shortcomings of Congress are equally injurious to all parties. Capital is rendered less productive, labor less remunerative, and com mercial operations more precarious. For the financial failure of Congress and the administration, the Secre tary of the Treasury more than any other one man is to be held re sponsible. His position gave him the initiative on financial legisla tion, and he abused it by blocking all progress. Re adopted a policy that w as contrary to all the teach ings of experience, and stuck to it with a dogged pertinacity that is, likely to prove ruinous to his polit ical friends. Congress instinctively rejected it, and only adopted it at. last in an emasculated xoxm con- trarv to their better judgment." . -o-. . Taking it Cool. The chairman of a vigilance committee which, had been appointed to duck au ob noxious citizen in Iowa, thus re ported to his fellow citizens.
