OREGON CITY, TfilKSDAY, MAY 3, l77.
Our Foreign Relations.
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.

Cor belt's Senatorial Traps.
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.

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.
