Although onr foreign relations are Terbaps more satisfactory than those of any other first-class power on the globe, those who suppose that the office to which Mr. Evarts has been appointed is a sinecure, greatly mistake its char acter. Mr. Fish left many important ' matfers in a bad tangle. The first and perhaps the most important of these is the Cuban -war. This, as everybody &.U0W8, is still going on at our doors. and the feiocily and ill success with 9 -which the Spaniards have to wage it has long been a cause of extreme dis satisfaction to our citizens. Through out tha country the feeling is general that, by geographical position, this is land is ours, and that Spam should not be allowed to devastate it for years and make what was once a productive and fertile region "a howling wilderness," 'without strong protest from ns. Affairs in Cuba have lately become desperate for the Spaniards and they are more than ever showing their lack of confi dence in themselves and their general sense of failure, by robbing foreign merchants and exercising barbarities on the unfortunate Cubans. It is incum bent on the head adviser of the Admin istration to take some action with refer ence to Cuba, and by strong representa tions to Spain to bring the war to a elose. The next important duty to be per formed by Mr. Evarts is to strictly en force the American policy of non-intervention in European affairs, ami to maintain the most absolute neutrality. Let Bashi-Bazouks ami Cossacks scalp one another if they choose: it is none of our affair, and to interfere in the slightest with matters that do not be--long to us might result in our being dragged into the maelstrom of war. It will be Turkey's funeral, with Russia ns driver of the hearse, and we wish to see no Americans among the moarners. With regard to England, we have a little affair, which long ago slipped from the public mind, and has to us been only lately recalled by reading a speech delivered by Ben Butler. When the treaty of Washington was signed and England paid the $15,000,000 indemnity for the depredations of the Alabama and other Southern cruisers, it was coru inonly supposed that we had gained a great moral victory. So we did, as far as that particular question vas concern ed, but the treaty took into considera tion not only the Alabama queetio-Jnit also the privilege of American vessels 4o fish in British waters off the coast of New Foundland and along the coa-t of British America. A commission, '"composed of one representative from each party, was toe appointed to settle the amount which the United States must pay for this privilege. The Eng lish commissioner was qualified, and all these years the debt has been growing, that there is some danger that we will be mulcted to a greater amount in re gard to the fisheries than was Great Britain in the Alabama matter. Our relations with China are of an ex ceedingly unsatisfactory character. The just opposition of a great number of American citizens, jiiucipally here and in California, has created a very embar rassing complication for the Adminis tration. The point is to manage the negotiations in such a way that that clause of the treaty allowing the Chinese to come here bo repealed, and those clauses be retained allowing Americans to settle in China, and build up an ex tensive trade between that country and this. However convenient for the prop er negotiations of such a modified treaty it might be for the Chinese to be fools and blind to their own interests, they are, unfortunately for us, neither; and to prevail upon them to accept such ..conditions will be difficult. Yet that effort will not only be made, but that .difficulty must be surmounted in the interest of the white men of this coast. The Chinese trade must somehow be retained, and if possible increased, even agaiafit the strenuous opposition of England, but if we cannot have it with out the fioolie immigratiou,"good-bye," .say we, to trade with China. There is only one other foreign affair Jikely to be troublesome, and that is the Mexican question; an old sore which lias been healed and opened a hundred times, under at least a dozen Adminis trations. The disorganized condition of the country, and the ephemeral char acter pf ijs Governments, render it al most iaorioasible to transact any sort tf business wjih Jhjs wretched country, since the Embassador who comes to-djy with the powers of a plenipotentiary may be minced to the rank of a private visitor by a revolution at home ami the success of the revolution party. This, taken in connection with the fact that for years our Texas border has bwep in a state of war, renders the Mexican em broglio the .most intricate and most an noying of all. The Government cannot be called to account, for, w a general thing, there is no responsible Govern ment at tho Capitol, and if an army were marched from the Bio Graude to the City of Mexico, the Administration might change a half dozen times before the invaders captured the city. But the trouble must be allayed in soma manner, and Mr. Evarts must do it, and do it at once. These are a few of tha affairs that will immediately occupy jie attention of the new Secretary of State, and if he does nothing more thnn to properly adjust these, his teputa ion Trill be increased in no small decree, Counterfeit l!a!f Dollars. Since the arrest of the glS3 ol counterfeiters in Douglas tad Jackson counties spurious half dollars have be come unpleasantly plentiful. We are credibly informed that in Portland that one in every eight twenty dollar "rolls" containsoneor more bogus half dollars. W have therefore deemed it to be to the advantage of our readers to be en abled to detect this "queer" almost on sight, and with th,at end in view we have gathered the following informa tion. The most commonly counter feited coin is the half dollar, and those composed of lead, tin and antimony are ?a.d by an U. S. expert to be the most dangerous, as they more closely re semble the genuine article. It should be remembered that theee bad fc-lves are light. A genuine half dollar weighs 192.9 grains; the antony, tin and lead humbugs weigh only 143 grains; type metal is also perferted from ite honest and original purpose by the coiners. It is electro plated fiist with copper and then with 6ilver. It weighs 192.9 grains like the real half dollar, but the color is not good; the fain piecps are said to be almost invariably thicker than the standard, and the d vices usually feeble and fanlty. The counterfeit Lalf. dollars introduced into this State by the Southern Oregon coiners and utierera are greasj to the touch, dull in sound, imperfect in mill ing, though very good in design. To a person who is at All alive to hi3 interests, half dollars from sach a "mint" will al ways be apparent and alway3 be re fused. Should doubt enter tho mind of any business man as to the genuine ness of a half dollar there is a simple liquid test which can be put up by any druggist. It consists of twanfy-four grains of nitrate of silver, fifteen grains of nitric acid and one on nee of water. This, if the coin be bad, black ens it at once. At a time like this, it is well for our bpsineea men and farmers to be on their guard, and with the in formation here imparled they may by continual detection break up the despi cable practice o! certain men of passing again the spurious coiu which has been "shoved" on them. Prayers and Crops. The telegraph informs us that prayers have been offered in Minnesota to avert the grasshopper plague, and if there are any righteous people there and it be true that their prayers avail much, we expect to read in a day or so of the whole hopper community becoming frost bitten, even unto death. The sagacity of the Minnesota people is very commendable. They saw that a war '"between Turkey and Russia was about to take place, that bread h tuffs would naturally be in demand, and it would not do' for them to be caught with small crop3 cn account of miser able grasshoppers, so they prayed, and will of course fill their garners and their coffers. Now if our irreligious neighbors in California had only done something of this kind, immediately prior to the "dry spell." crops almost as abundant as in pious Oregon would have been the result. As it ir., a blight has fallen upon the 'and, end the sun baked valleys will need the prayers of all the faithful in Christendom ere they will assume their wonted verdure. Since prayers are practically ont of the question in California, the only way for the farmers of that State to raise good crops is to move to Oregon. Here we have "God's own couutry," and onr plowing time does not Leva to le broken into by prsyers to evert e sue curse or keep back the voracious hop per. Our prayers are those of thank fulness; are the offerings of grateful hearts for past favors. "Crops never fail in Oregon," this is the heading of our prayer and the burden of our thankfulness. What Oregonian would exchange his State for California or Minnesota ? Gold and the War. Although gold is higher now than for some time past, we cannot alto gether attribnte the rise to the Russo Turkish war. The belligereuts are both using paper. Russia has long been depressed by this kind of money. Turkey has entered upon the experi ment. No doubt if the war shonld be long continued the demand for gold would increase; for soldiers could not long be paid in paper resting on noth ing; nor could war ma5erial be pur chased at home or abroad by its agenc It will thus be seen that goM will have to be borrowed somewhere. But Rus sian credit is not first class. Turkish credit is decidedly bad. That nation owes England upwards of one thous and millions of dollars. She has already failed to pay the interest several time. If either Rnssia or Turkey wants gold they will have to suffer a heavy discount, Bnt have it they must, and as this will make it scarcer it will be eot up still higher. If, however, any of the other nations, especially England -and it looks an; thing but improbable just now should get em broiled, there is no knowing what fignre it might reach. A rise in gold from these causes would mean for ns a fall in the prices of European com modities. Silk, cloth, wine and other articles which we import will be cheap ! in proportion as the premium on gold Tises. Prices in this country will no doubt sympathize, but not to any very great extent.

We see by the Standards Washing ton correspond nee that it is surmised that the recent sale of the Oregonian was a sham; being merely a trick to oust Hill who had grown unpopular, in order that some one who could stand the shock of Cronin charges without flinching might brandish the editorial pen in H. W. Corbett's interest in the coming Senatorial contest. The more we consider this, the more truth there si pears in it. Harvey Scott would never strike a blow in Senator Mitchell's lehalf, since he was requested to vacat the Custom House by that getletaa, aed it is not vry likely that Corbett would ever have sold ont te a a from wbosa he etml4 oi eiset pledges -t l nipert it is eld eneeiy, Kitebsll. Mr. Corbett, it hi ehronie Senatorial as pirations, is sot each a dalUrel a to kill the Oregonian goose from hieh he expects to icei the golden Senatorial egg. by letting it fall into hands sot St for bis service. This being almost in disputable, the trsth of the Standard? correspondent in made more apparent, that the Oregonian sale was a "sham." We hear that Mr. Scott himself said that Smith Kearney does not own a dollar's worth of the monopoly stock- therefore Corbett does, and has not sold out; or if he baa, it is with the clearly defined proviso that Seott'3 pen iunst ha usd to lift him into Senator Mitch ell's chair. Another reason that makes us blisv9 that Corbett is now setting his traps, is the advent of the Portland Telegram, a perer which is partly set up in the Oregon inn office, and could hae had no reason fcr starting other than to play second fiddle to the Cor bett organ in its different overtures By saying it could have no other reason we mean that its aim could not have leen to make money legitimately as a legitimate paper, for there were already two established evening papers, barely making their "salt," and a third paper, according to ttie simplest logic, was but to try to get a third of what was barely enough for two. In writing a notice of this sheet week before last e had occasion to s:y that its object ninsi be sinister, md we think the ficts have borne us out. Corlett's dollars will attempt to keep the sheet alive until alter ttie senatorial nunc aud then we may look for its death from act al in ertia and dearth of dollars dearth of brains afflict it already. Uucle Sam ha a pretty good-sized farm left. According to tho report of the Secretary of the Interior, 6.52-i.32 acres were disposed of durintr the l!t fiscal year, for which tle cash receipts were $0,745,215 85. Dnring tre year 21,805.517 acres were surveyed, leaving vet to be surveyed a trifle over 1,132, GG5.211 acres. President Hayes has so far advanced in the good opinion of the Richmond Va., Whig (Dam.) that it cow regards him as the man "to whom the conserv ative sentiment of all the country turns for the opening of a new epoch of the true unionism of the olden time in this land." One of tho arguments used against ths passage of the woman suffrage hill in Massachusetts was that the ballot would do women no good. because none of them would admit that thy were old enough to vote until they were too old to take any interest in politics.

Washington, April 2G.- -A delegation of the labor league of the United States, white and black, called on the Presi dent to-dav and read an address re questing him to embody in his message to Congress a recommendation for an appropriation of money for internal improvements to give employment to idle laborers; also to recommend the restoration of suffrage in the district of Columbia, and payment of ttie ten thou sand working men defrauded by tLa eoutraetor under the board of public works. The President, in reply, said: This seech is so voluminous, ami the topics so numerous I would not under take in ancouMidered off-hand sentences to expreHs opinions in reg-rd to it. Some of the statements of fct perhaps deserve a good dal f confideratiou. Certaifcly if there sre tseaty thonsaad ia this distrist ont of employ ajent, er thst anaiber of men to whom the government owes moiicy, it onght to be paid, and Congress onld be ery dere lict ia its duty if it is not done. As for the general expr ssion of good will yon express, I appreeiate it and return my thanks very fully. Perhaps this i all I desire to say on the subject without consideration". The rights of all citizens are precisely equal before the law, mid our com ts and executive depattrneuts must see that these, equal rights are maintained, with such assistance as the people and Congress can pive them. The right of suffrage in this district is not within the power of the executive to say whether the voice shall be exer cised in the election of a member of Congress or of President. This, of course, is a very hre queatiou, uud is to be considered in accordance, with the wishes of the people. I do not know what the feelings of the people are on this question. It is not for the Presi dent to lay dowu rules for the decision of questions of thi sort to the people. If the people wih to have suffrage in this district, I shall net interfere with them, and should not veto but sign any bill on that subject. If therv ia nothing further in regard to tl.U, I again return my appreciation of your kindiies. New York. April 30. The public debt statement for April, which will lie issued Tuesday, will show a reduction iu the debt for the current month of about three ud a half millions, and an aggregate reduction since July 1st of about twenty-eight million. The re ceipts from internal revenue for the mouth will reach nine and one half millions, and from customs about elev en millions. The coin balance ill be nearly ninety-five millions, including coin certificates, which amount to forty six or forty-eight inillions. This in crease in the coin balance is due to Mie fact that about one mi lion in gold has been received thi month Irom sales of bond in excess of amounts disbursed to ledccni the called 5 20s. The depart ment being unable to obtain called bonds to that -mount for redemption, the eoiu received from the sale of bonds will be set apart for the redemption of called bonds. This one million, and a like amount held for the redemption of coin certificates, mnst le deducted from the aggregate balance reported in order to ascertain the amount of coin owned by the government. Deducting these to items will leave the goxernment possessed of fully thirty five millions in coin, less about tn-o millious in silver, with which to meet its coin obligations. Altogether, the financial statement for April will m.kv a very satisfactory ex hihit. Washington, April 30.
