$ l t & y i $ on Q t$Kb t COUWTY OFFICIAL PAPER. DALLAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 25. ; Class Citizenship. In the House, on the 20th of May, the consular appropriation bill was up and an amendment jprqposod providing for a Minister at Rome, instead of a Consul. ; This was opposed by a major ity of the members, whereupon a New York paper made the following rq marlc, which is endorsed by, the Mobile Jiephler : 'Let the Trii-h Catholics and German Catholics, who have heretofore affilia ted with the Radical party, read the debate i$ the House and ponder over 'Such utterances are entirely wron. They have a tendency to build up a class citizenship, that is, for the well bclag ii our Govermiicnt, extremely dangerons. It has been the proud boast of Amer icans that our form of government is the best the sun ever shone upon. This being the ease, it is to the inter est of all mankind that it be perpetuated- This cannot be 'done unless we maintain a homogeneous citizership. Wje want no jealousies to exist between different creeds or nationalities that may be within our national borders. Such things lead to civil war, as we linow by sad experience. .We invite the stranger to make the United Stafes his home, and we must Strive by all the means in our power to have him forget he is anything but an American citizen. The alien, when he is naturalized, swears that he wilt no longer bear allegiance to the govern ment of his native land ; and hence we must not tempt him to form a separate clan and oppose his fellow citizens born here. .The safety of our government lies in its ability to absorb the foreign element into that originally forming the government. -Political parties make a grand mis take when they nominate men for office 81 m ply for the sake of controlling the vote of a foreign element A German or an Irishman, when he is naturalized, is not a German or an Irishman any longer, but an American, and every thing that would lead him to suppose he was regarded in any other light than as an American, should be left unsaid and undone. We would as soon have an officer "elected who was born on European soil as a native, if his fitness entitles him to that position j but we do object to for eigners being put up for office merely to catch the vote of foreign elements. What good reason is there for call ing upon Irish and German Catholics to entertain feelingsof hostility toward their own government simply because t refuses to send a Minister to Rome ? This class of persons, whoso prejudices are thus sought to be aroused, have no legitimate interest in the welfare of It aly. They are not citizens of that country. The political history of all nations teaches that no Staj has been destroy ed except when, by conquest or any other means,a large foreign element has been added. It should be the po'icy of the United States to invite Strang: ers to our country only so fast as they can become thoroughly Americanized and imbued with a love of our institu tions; and hence it becomes the duty of the newspaper press to exclude all such-advice as that above quoted. TJie election of city officers was held in Portland oa Monday last. Scarcely any interest was taken in the contest, and a small vote was polled. Hallcck (Dem.) was elected in the 1st ward ; Congle (Rep.') in the 2d, and Fesser and HillReps.) in tW3d ward. The Council now stands, Republicans 7, Democrats 2j a gain of one Republi can since last election." A. L. Bancroft & Co., 721 Market street, San Francisco, announces that the 2d volume of lthe "War between the States," by Alex. II. Stephens, is ready for delivery to subscribers. As Greeley's conflict is the best and most reliable history of the rebellion, so is Stephen' work the most perfect history from a Southern stand point. No poli tician should be without Stephen's his tory. ; . -1 . Subscribe for the Republican. i Is Oregon for Repudiation t The Statesman discusses the "ques tion in these words: We are repeatedly asked by the Democratic papers of Oregon whether we still think the " vital eighth" reso lution .meant repudiation. Say they, 'If that meant repudiation Orcgen has endorsed it," and hence they infer, if the argument is good for anything, that it is tight. Now we are loth to admit the dis grace and shame of our own State, and indeed do not admit that repudia tion is endorsed by a majority of the legal voters of Oregon. It will be remenibcred that while in the extreme south and east of the State, our opponents took the ground that they meant repudiation, in the re mainder of the State they .persistently argued that they meant nothing of the sorr. Speakers used a different set of principles in different localities, and the papers of the party differed as wide ly among themselves as they did from us. On the one question of office they were united ; on all others their argu ments were so contradictory that we are forced to the conclusion that the mass of their voters did not read the papers. Thus we sec that while the mining region?, temporarily occupied by a class who have no interest in common with the permanent residents of the State, gives a majority for repudiation of 1,- 120 votes; the agricultural and pro ducing parts of the country, occupied by those who feel that their country's houor is their own, and her disgrace their shame, give a majority against repudiation,- of 780 votes, leaving the State to be committed to this outrage ous doctrine by a majority of only 310 votes, but little over one quarter of the vote in the mining regions. Having faith in the integrity of the people it is hard to be compelled to say that our beloved State is committed to this scheme of iniquity; but if s-ho is not, the present appearance of things is, to say the least, suggestive. Graut's Message President Grant has sent a message, on the Cuban question, to both Houses of Congress, that seems to cause some excitement in political circles. The mentiou made of it by the telegraph is so brief that we are not able to judge certainly of the objections to "Mr. Grant's views of the matter, or what particular features are objectionable, but knowing that the President has heretofore been equal to the task, we are disposed to believe that he sees the right way this time. Of late it has become the custom for persons to throng the Capitol and seek to obtain class legislation, whether their cause was just or not; and from what has been given out, it It very question able whether the Cuban insurgents have any other organization than "that of guerrillas. If that really be the case Grant's message -is well-timed; but if the contrary can be shown, the President will, no doubt, be willing to do what is ri;ht in the premises. Certainly the Cubans cannot ask the United States to recognize their inde pendence, when they have no govern ment. Whenever the insurgents shall exhibit their ability to form a govern ment, and their willingness to obey the laws of their own enacting, then will it be time enough to knock for admittance within the family of nations. The idea that the United States Govern ment is to be lobbied into the support of every rebellious scheme of discon tented cubjects, is too wild for serious consideration. It is eminently proper for the cause of humanity that our government should interfere and put a stop to the atrocious manner in which the conflict in Cuba is conducted on both sides. If the insurgents find fault because our government criticises their acts of cruelty, it is only another evidence that belligerent rights should not be accord ed. Until we hear more of this mat ter, we are disposed to believe that Presidents rant is in the right. It is said that Jo Lane is a candi date for. the office of - United States Senator. The thermometer stands at 97 at the 900 foot level of the Yellow Jack et mine. The China Question. The wisdom of a majority of ."the American people is almost always right, and their councils equal to any emer gency. . The Chinese question has been a great stumbling block in the way of the people on the Pacific coast, and the whole white population, regardless of party, have regarded the immigration of Chinese to this coast with a great deal of jealousy. We all feared that the statesmen in tho East would carry their humanitarian schemes to such an extent that Chinamen would be eligi ble to citizenship, and that designing men might import Chinese here to the injury of the nation. To ward off the probable contingency, it was only nee essary to- educate the common people to a personal knowledge of ahnon-eyed foreigner, and the work of self protec tion was commenced. Stewart, of Nevada, has introduced a bill into the Senate to "prevent con tracts for service," which will at once stop the importation of the lower class of Chinese. In support of this bill, Mr. Stewart said : "That in makiug coolie labor contracts the Chinese con tractors took advantage of the peculiar religious views of the Chinese tl pro vide for their return to their native land, dead or alive. These contracts were for four years and the Chinaman dared not break the contract for fear, in case of death, his body might not be returned to his own country. The bill would break up this coolie system TO prohibiting contracts for a longer period than six months, while it also provided for tho return of the Chinese to their ovw country. This would be long enough to enable immigrants to pay the expenses of their passage, and not long enough to make their impor tation as a sj'stem the means of profit." Resides the reasons givflu above for proving the bill will correct the evil sought to be righted there are others, among which is opposition to the pro posed legislation. The friends of Chi nese labor see that thoy can no longer make such vast sums of money out of this second slavery. One of the most bitter opponents to the bill is the Chi cago Times, a radicalDcmocratic pa per. This opposition, or, in fact, any hostility to Stewart's bill, proves its merits. Daily Mail. We are able this week to tell our readers that we are certainly to have a daily mail, and that the service will commence on the 1st of the month The O. and C. S. Company will carry the mail. The route, leaving Corvallis, passes through Buena Vista, Independ ence. Monmouth, Dallas, Amity, Mo Minnville, Lafayette, North Yamhill, Forest Grove, and Hillsboro to Port land. The company is allowed two days in summer and three in winter to make the route. Two horse hacks will be run for the present from Corvallis to McMinnville, and from the latter place to Portland four-horse stages will be used. As we have before said, the value of this line to the country through which it passes, will, from the first, be mark ed. It will save to the citizens of Polk county many dollars paid out as traveling expenses, for which no value is received, besides the money disburs ed by the company will be consider able. Passengers for Portland will find, not only a small saving in money, but at least two days in time by using the new line of travel. We hope that the amount of travel will soon justify the company to put on coaches throughout the whole line, and that it will find it profitable to make the through trip in one day. r"v . A. Quarrel'. They have, in San Francisco, a medical college known as the Toland Medical College. Now these Toland fellows are a selfish set, and think that they are the only per sons that should pretend to give in struction in the healing art. Well, the faculty had a quarrel the other day, and four of the Proefessors resigned. Now, we wouldn't have mentioned this little unpleasantness, only those fellows have witnessed, with marked satisfac tion, the obstacles thrown in the way of the success of our Oregon schools. j Howdoyoupronouncsthis. Industrial Exhibition. We have received tho circulars of Cincinnati Industrial Exposition, un der the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, and Ohio Mechauics' Institute. The Committee announce that an exposition of manu factures, products and arts will be held in Cincinnati, commencing Wednesday, September 21st, 1870, and continuing until October 15th, 1870, to which ar tisans, manufacturers,' inventors, and those engaged in the production of works of art and ingenuity are invited to contribute. It would be an excellent idea for Oregonians to place on exhibition, at this fair, samples of our agricultural productions, such as wheat, oats, fruit and vegetables. We all know that our productions are superior to those of our neighbors, and we should seek every opportunity to let those neighbors know it. Circulars containing full and specific information relating to the Exposition may be obtained by addressing "Cin cinnati Industrial Exhibition," Cincin nati. The Examiner admits that it only intended to deny that the Oregon De mocracy had declared for "unqualified" repudiation. Whereupon the San Fran- 'cisco Chronicle asks : "Will that pa per please to inform us what its idea is of "qualified" repudiation V .Heavy shipments of goods arc going forward from Corinne to Montana.
