The Presidential Nomination.
On the seventh ballot of , the Cin
cinnati Convention, Governor Ruth
erford B. IFhyes of Ohio was nom
inated by the Republican party for
the Presidency of the United States.
His victory was a complete surprise
O to the entire country. -For -weeks
prior to the convention it-was esti
mated by the" politicians of both iar
ties that "Blaine" bad already enough
pledged delegates to secure hi sue
cestC ' It is undeniable that the latter
gentleman cariiedaii enthusiasm with
him to the convention hardly less
potent than the national feeling that
for a second time mado Abraham
Tjincoln the Presidential nominee of
the Republican party. So positive
were the Democrats that the "Prince
of Parliamentarians" would receive
the nomination that their fight has
been only against him, to the utter
forgetfulness of such an apparently
lessev light as Hayes. The Demo
cratic press has been storing thunder
for months past, with the assured
Cintention of hurling the bolts at
Blaine as Presidential candidate,
when lo! by an unintended ruse de
guerre a comparatively "unknown"
is "sprung" upon the people, and
the'" Democracy forced to hunt for
other amunition and new accusations.
The nomination of Hayes is but a
repetition of au old story. With
perhaps two exceptions, and they
of a nature readily explained, the
candidato for the Presidency who
goes into 'convention with the great
est number of delegates and the most
popular enthusiasm, i3 invariably
beaten for the nomination. Lincoln
was tho Great Unknown when first
nominated; his strength in the con
vention being scarcely greater than
Ilayes's in Cincinnati. The disap
pointed aspirants, the Mortons, the
Conklings and Bristows of national
conventions, fearing always the
popular candidate, join forces to
defeat him, lest his strength be too
great and they bo forgotten in the
o distribution of Presidential rewards.
To the fact of not being prominent
Hayes owes his nomination by the
Republican party.
It is true that Mr. Ilayes's success
did not create that enthusiasm among
Republican voters that would have
resulted from the nomination of Jas.
G. Blaine, but wo truly think him a
stronger candidate to place before
tho people. Mr. Hayes is an old
Ohio Republican statesman, having
defeated that trio of Ohio Democratic
0 giants, Thurman, Pendleton and Al
len, in separate campaigns a fact
which speaks volumes in his favor
and gives testimony to his popularity
in his own State.
Concerning Mr. Wheeler of Xew
York, nominated for the Vice Presi
dency, we know very little indeed.
We know that he has been for some
time a member of Congress from
New York, and is spoken of by the
X.-T. Times as "possessing states
manship worthy of the noblest era
of our history and tho highest stan
dard of our public life." If we mis
take not, Mr. Wheeler was the chair
man of the committee sent to Louisi
ana to investigate the troubles of the
double Legislature there, and in his
report gave perfect satisfaction to
both Democrats aud Republicans.
It is a good ticket, and, as tho X. Y.
Herald says, "it will poll the party
strength."
Tho Republicans and Chinese.
We are prepared to treat both po
litical organizations with fairness,
giving to CVsar what is justly his,
but cannot help feeling that the
Democratic party is acting a very
falscfpart when it pretends to be the
tonly champion of the white laborer
and that it is entirely owing to Re
publican efforts that the Chincso
immigration to this coast is kept up.
The interests of tho Republican and
Democrat, as individuals, man to
man, on this coast are identical, aud
it is the height of absurdity to say
that Republicans are in favor of im
porting what is just as much a curse
to them as their political opiionents,
the Democrats. The laws passed in
California for the purpose of making
that State disagreeable to the Mon
golians have "been recently decided
in Washington to bo unconstitutional
and void. Consequently we have to
look to tho national law makers for
relief, our Legislatures being but
puppets. In casting our eyes toward
Washington, what do we see? Are
the Democratic Senators in any way
distinguishing themselves by hostile
ity to tho heathen? Without mean
ing to epeak disparagingly, Senator
Kelly is the only Democratic Senator
from this coast, and to tho best of
our knowledge and belief -lias never
onco raised his voico against Coolie
immigration, seemingly confining his
entire time and attention to the ardu
ous task of warming a Senatorial
chair. On tho other hand what have
Sargent from California and Mitchell
from this State been doing? Scarcely
a day passes bui one or the other of
them does not strike socio blow in
the cause of a modification of tho
Bnrlingamo treaty. Each of these
Senators has made a long and thor
ough speech against tho Chinese
curse, and is constantly at work with
I
the aim of ultimately bringing about
some change satisfactory to the peo
ple on the Pacific coast.
.- ly.-: a haudsojne vote at the recent
Cincinnati Convention, the Republi
can party decided to "inquire into
the effects of the Mongolian on moral
and political grounds." This plank,
being opposed by Pierce of Massa
hcusetts, Jones of Nevada and Axtell
of New Mexico, lost no time in dem
onstrating in sound speeches how
thoroughly is the heart of the Pacific
const, - Republican--opposed - to any
conservativeism or half-way measures
on this vitil subject. We do not say
tl.at the entire Republican party is
opposed to the importation of Coolies,
for many in the East, from very dis
tance, are disinterested and indiffer
ent and the same may truly be said
of the Democrats, but wo do insist
that the Republicans of this coast, if
not more active, are equally so with
tho Democrats in their efforts to place
barriers before the Mongolian influx,
j and it is a piece of rank injustice for
the Democrats to take all the credit
to themselves whn the Republicans
aro working just as hard and are just
as much opposed to the Coolio traffic
as the oldest JefFersonian in the State.
The 3iarssiiy
Editor ExTrnrmsz: In a com
munication published in tho last
issue of the Enterprise, headed "A
Councilman on the War path, "in an
swer to an article which appeared a
few weeks since in tho Portland
Standard, tho writer says that I was
Dot approached and threatened by
two of the Councilmen of this city,
and that in my capacity as Marshal I
disregarded tho sale of whisky on
election day.
In answer to tho first statement, I
will say that two of our Councilmen
did approach me and give me to un
derstandthat by working for the
Democratic candidate for State Sen
ator I was endangering my best in
terests, plainby intimating that my
office as nightwatchman depended on
my course during that election; and
should those Councilmen desire to
see their names in print, I shall be
most happy to sendj them to tho
Enterprise for publication.
In reply to the second accusation,
I have to say in my defense, that it
is not the duty of the Marshal to go
about hunting for transgressors of
the law. My duty being to arrest
all wrong-doers known to me person
ally or on complaint of third parties.
A man who had been engaged by one
of the Councilmen in question to
discover if liquor was sold on election
day informed me that a certain saloon
in town was hospitably disposed and
that tho ardent was being dealt out.
I asked him to make out a complaint
that I might immediately make tho
arrest; but he demurred, and acted
as if anxious to first hold a consulta
tion with the Councilman employer.
Later in the day this individual came
to me and expressed his willingness
to make the necessary charges. I
immediately accompanied him to the
Recorder's office, and found that tho
Recorder did not have jurisdiction,
and then and there, of course, I be
came powerless, and the matter was
dropped.
If this was being derelict in my
official conduct, then I am unable to
interpret the City Ordinances or to
understand the duties of a Marshal.
Granting, however, for the moment,
that I did fail to enforce the law,
irlt did tho Council discharge me as
nightwatchman for Ip.x conduct as
City Marshal? That they had the
power to dismiss me, I freely admit,
but that my discharge was just, 1
shall never cease to deny.
John Hansen,
Citv Marshal.
Tho rioneers met in annual con
clave at Salem on tho loth, and their
festivities extended over until the
evening of the ICth. We are glad to
know that the brave spirits who en
tered this goodly land in the days
when it tried men's souls to peril the
privations and dangers of the jour
ney, now sit down together in annual
conclave, and recount their struggles
and triumphs, and make their chil
dren acquainted with the valor of
their action, that the same spirit may
be emulated in them. The pioneers
are growing old, and one by one are
missing from the living muster roll,
as they are gathered to tho bivouac
of the dead. Honor the old pioneers,
and when they lie in cold obstruc
tion, let not oblivion enfold them,
but recount them as jn-iceloss jewels
in the casket of memory, who helped
to emblazon one more star on the
field of blue, the brightest, the fair
est and the best of the galaxy, Ore
gon. But a short time aud it will be
said of them
"How some they have died, and some
they have left vis,
And some aro taken from us ; all are
departed ;
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces."
Tho Tribune's Washington corres
pondent draws a startling picture of
what may be the result if the Ap
propriation Bill is not finally passed
by both houses in less than ten days.
The features are that our Ministers
and Consuls abroad will be recalled,
the Army annihilated and the Postal
service stopped.
Experienced persons estimate that
the surplus crop for shipment in
Walla Walla valley this year will be
equal to 1,000,000 bushels. Evident
ly there will be work for the railroad
and all the teams in the country.
Last year hop roots sold in the
EcfstforSS per bushel; this season
for 35 cents.
There are SO orphans in the House

The Cincinnati Contention.
j The Cincinnati Convention met on
i the 14th General Morgan calling the
convention to order and, Rev: Dr.
I "Miller delivering the opening prayer.
Theo. M. Pomeioy, of New York, an
old convention president, was nom
inated for temporary chairman.
Speeches were then made by es-Gov.
Noyes, Gen. Logan, Fred. Douglas
and Gen. Hawley. The permanent
chairman-: was then . balloted for,
which resulted. in the election of
Edward McPherson, of Washington.
The committees on resolutionscre
dentials, ,etc, were then elected. On
the 15th, it was the order of business
to make nominations for the Presi
dency. The several presenters of
names for the consideration of the
convention prefaced their motions
with laudatory remarks on their
nominees. Postmaster-General Jew
ell was nominated by Kellogg, of
Cincinnati; Thompson, of Indiana,
presented the name of Oliver P.
Morton, Pinchback, of Louisiana,
seconding tho motion; Gen. Harlaw,
of Kentucky, amidst much enthusi
asm, presented tho name of Benjamin
II. Bristow, Judge Poland, of Ver
mont, seconding the motion; Richard
II. Dane, of Massachusetts, also sec
onded for Bristow. Ingersoll, of
Illinois, presented the name of James
G. Blaine amidst much cheering,
seconded by Turner, of Georgia, and
Frye, of Maine; Woodford, of New
York, nominated Roscoo Conkling;
Noyes, of Ohio, presented the name
of Governor Rutherford B. Hayes,
of Ohio; Bartholomew presented the
name of Governor Ilartranft, of Penn
sylvania. The following platform
was then presented by Gen. Hawley:
Mr. President You must bo aware
that your committee on resolutions
upon assembling, found itself consti
tuted of men of somewhat differing
sentiments and widely separated lo
calities, and mostly strangers to cacli
other. We have in general agreed
upon the sentiments wo are about to
2resent to you, and respectfully sub
mit it for your consideration, and for
your amendment if you choose. It
is as follows:
When in the economy of Provi
dence this land was to be purged of
human slavery, and when the strength
of the government of the people, for
the peoido was to be demonstrated,
the Republican party came into pow
er. Its deeds have passed into his
tory, and wo look back to them with
pride. Incited by their memories
and high aims for the good of our
country and mankind, aud looking
to the future with unfaltering cour
age, hope and purpose, we the repre
sentatives of the Republican party
in National Convention assembled
make the following declaration of
principles:
1. The United States of America is
a nation, not a league. By tho com
bined working of the National and
State governments under their re
spective constitutions the rights of
everv citizen aro secured at home
and protected abroad, and tho com
mon welfare promoted.
2. The Republics party has pre
served those governments to their
hundredth anniversary of tho nation's
birth, and they are now embodiments
of tho great truths spoken at its cra
dle, that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by their Cre
ator with certain inalienable rights,
among which are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness; that for tho at
tainment of these ends governments
have been instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the
consent of the government until these
truths are cheerfully obeed. or, if
needed, to bo vigorously enforced,
the work of tho Republican party is
unfinished.
. The permanent pacification of
the southern section of the Union,
and tho complete protection of its
citizens in tho free enjoyment of all
their rights, are duties to which tho
Republican party stands sacredly
pledged. Applause. The power
to provide for the enforcement of the
principle embodied in the recent
constitutional amendments is vested
by these amendments in the Congress
of the United States; and all declare
it to be the solemn obligation of leg
islative and executive departments of
the government to put into immedi
ate and vigorous exercise all its con
stitutional powers for removing any
just causes of discontent on the part
of any class and for securing to every
American citizen complete liberty
and exact equality in tho exercise of
his civil, political and public rights.
Applause. To this end we imper
atively demand a Congress and a
Chief "Executive whoso courage and
fidelity to those duties shall not fal
ter until these results shall be placed
bevoud dispute or recall. Applause.
In'the first act of Congress signed by
President Grant, tho National gov
ernment sought to remove any doubt
of its duty to discharge all just obli
gations to public creditors and sol
emnly pledged its faith to make pro
vision at the earliest possible period
for the redemption of U. S. notes in
coin. Applause. Commercial pros
perity, public morals and national
credit ' demand that this promise be
fulfilled by a continuous and steady
progress toward specie paj-ments.
Loud and long continued applause.
Under tho Constitution the Presi
dent and heads of departments aro
to make nominations for office, tho
Senate is to adviso and to consent to
the appointments, and the House of
Representatives is to accuse and pros
ecute faithless officers. The best in
terests of the public service demana
that these distinctions be respected;
that Senators and Representatives
who may bo judges and accusers
should not dictate appointments to
offices. Tho invariable rule for ap
pointments should have reference to
the honesty, fidelity and capacity of
the appointees, giving to the party
in power those places where the har
mony and vigor of the administration
requires its policy to be represented;
but permitting all others to bo filled
by persons selected with sole refer
ence to the efficiency of the public
service and the right of all citizens
to share in the honor of rendering
faithful service to their country.
G. We rejoice at the quickened
conscience of the people concerning

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA '
BERKELEY. naT.TcriDrTT. '
political affairs, and we will hold all
public officers to a rigid responsibil
ity and engage that the prosecution
and punishment of all who betray
official trusts shall be speedy,
thorough and unsparing. (Cheers).
7 The public school system of
the several States is the.bulwork of
the American Republic; and .with a
view to its security and permanence,
we recommend an amendment to
the Constitution of the United States,
forbidding the application of any
public funds, or. property, for : the
benefit of any schools, or institutions,
under sectarian control. " Great
cheering, continuing for , several
minutes. In response to repeated
call", Gen. Hawley read this plank a
second time, and the delegates and
audience repeated their cheers.
8. The revenue necessary for
meeting current expenditures and
the obligation of the public debt
must be largely derived from duties
on importations, which, so far as
possible, should be adjusted so as to
promote the interests of American
labor and advance the prosperity of
the whole country.
9. We reaffirm our opposition to
further grants of the public lands to
corporations and monopolies, and
demand that the national domain bo
devoted to free homes for the people.
10. It is the imperative duty of
the government so to modify exis
ting treaties with European govern
ments that the same protection shall
be afforded to the adopted American.
citizens that is given to tho native
born; that all necessary laws should
be passed to protect immigrants in
tho absence of power in the States
for that purpose.
11. It is tho immediate duty of
Congress to fully investigate the
effect of tho immigration anil impor
tation of Mongolians upon tho mor
als and material interests of tho
country. Applause.
12. The ltejmblican party recog
nize with approval the substantial
advance made towards the establish
ment of equal rights for women by
many important amendments affec
ted by Republican legislatures, in
tho laws which concern tho personal
and property relations of wives,
mothers and widows; by the ap
pointment and election of women to
the superintendoncy of education,
charities and other trusts. The
honest demands of this class
of citizens for additional
rights and privileges and immuni
ties should be treated with respect
ful consideration. Applause.
13. The Constitution confers
upon Congress sovereign power over
the Territories of tho United States
for their government, and in the ex
ercise of tho power it is the right
and duty of Congress to prohibit
and extirpate in the Territories that
relic of barbarism, polygamy; and
we demand such legislation as shall
secure this end and the supremacy
of American institutions in all their
Territories.
14. Tho pledges which tho na
tion has given to our soldiers and
sailors must be fulfilled. The grate
ful people will alwavs hold those
who periled their lives for their J
country's preservation in t lie kindest j
remembrance.
!.". We .sincerely deprecate all
sectional feeling and tendencies.
We, therefore, note with deep solic
itude that tho Democratic party
counts as its chief hope of success
upon the electoral voto of a united
South, secured through tho efforts
of those who were recently arrayed
against tho nation, and we invoke
the earnest attention of the country
to tho grave truth that a success
thus achieved would ro-open section
al strife and imperil the national
honor and human rights.
16. We charge the Democratic
party as being the same in character
and spirit as when it sympathized
with treason; with making its con
trol of the House of Representatives
the triumph and tho o)portunity of
the nation's recent foes; with
reasserting ami applauding in the
national capitol the .sentiments of
an unrepentd rebellion ; with send
ing Union soldiers to the wall and
promoting the confederate soldiersto
front; with deliberately proposing
to repudiate tho plighted faith of
tho government, with being equally
false and imbecile; with' overshad
owing tho ends of jnstico by its par
tisan mismanagement and obstruc
tion of investigation and with prov
ing itself through the period of its
ascendency in the lower house of
Congress utterly incompetent to ad
minister the government. We warn
the country against trusting a par
ty thus alike unworthy, recreant and
incapable.
17. Tho national administration
merits commendation for its honora
ble work in the management of do
mestic and foreign affairs, and Presi
dent Grant deserves the continued
and hearty gratitude of tho Ameri
can people for his patriotism and
his immense service in war and in
peace.

Washington, June 17. Secretary
Bristow, in a letter to the President,
written this morning, formally ten
ders his resignation of the office of
Secretary of the Treasury, to take
effect Tuesday next, 20th "inst. The
resignation has been accepted. The
reasons assigned for his retirements
aro the same that have been already
stated.
The Senate appropriation commit
tee yesterday voted to recommend,
and the Senato will undoubtedly
agree, to increase the item contained
in the House Indian appropriation
bill for incidental expenses of Indian
service as follows: For California,
from 83,000 to 00.000; Arizona,
to 20,000 to 05,000; Oregon 10,000
to 65.000; Washington, 5.000 to
25.0-00; Idaho, 3,000 to 10,000;
Montana, 50.000 to 20,000; New
Mexico, 15,000 to 40,000. These
increased amounts contemplate not j
only a more liberal provision for j
miscellaneous expenses, but al-.o j
cover the pay of employes under the S
present system which the House j
proposed to abrogate by turning ,
over tho whole management to tho
War Department, and by requiring
the work to be done by soldiers and
employes of the army. The Sonato i
committee will insert the customary
appropriations for pay of agents aud
interpreters, and increase tho item
for Apaches of Arizona and New
Mexico from 400,000 to'.450,000. The
House provision that any person ob
taining certificate of good character
from a U. S. judge should be grant
ed license to trade with the Indians,
is entirely stricken out by tho Sen
ate committee, and is not likely to
become a law.
Nkw York, .Tune 17. In a formal
meeting of the Democratic aldermen
and their clerks, held at their rooms
yesterday, to consider the propriety
of going to lit. Louis in a body, it
transpired that all tho alderman ex
cept Lewis and Lysaght are to pro
ceed thero and work against Tilden.
Two Democratic clerks will accom
pany them. The departure of these
gentlemen will leave the board of al
dermen without a quorum.
The Tribune says editorially: Tho
outlook at St. Louis shows that Til
den will have 1G2 of i5G'.) votes. He
will need half as many more to se
cure tho nomination; but there are
48 votes classed as unknown, and 35,
besides, of delegates not yet elected
and it isarathercuriousV-ircunistanco
that these undetermined votes, if
cast for Tilden, would just give him
a two-thirds majority in the conven
tion. Washington', Jnne 19. Bristow's
place has not been congenial to him
for tho past year. While thero was
no break in personal relations be
tween him and the President, there
has been for a long time a mutual
reseive and undefined feeling of dis
comfort when together. Tho Presi
dent will be quite as good as' his
word, and if the Democrats continue
in their obstinate course the entire
machinery of the government will
probably bo suspended on July the
1st. As tho situation looks now
it is not possible for the House to
pass tho appropriation bills before
the end of the fiscal j'ear.
It is believed that other important
changes will follow the retirement of
Bristow, though this may, in a meas
ure, depend on who tho new incum
bent shall be. Treasurer Xew will
certainly retire by the end of the
fiscal year. Assistant Treasurer
Wyman might possibly succeed Xew,
he having been favorably mentioned
to the president.
Xrcw Yokk, June 18. A Herald
special from Sidney, Nebraska, dat
ed June 17th, says the Indians killed
forty men on Thursday, the 15th, at
a point sixty miles south of that
place. They belonged to Colorado.
Over one hundred men have been
killed in this section within one
week. The Indians belonged to
Cheyenne Agency, Indian Territory.
Malone, Xew York, the home of
