The Republican State Convention is Lereby called to meet at Salem on Wed nesday, the 17th day of April, 1878, at 10 o'clock A. m., for the purpose of nom inating candidates for the various State offices, to be voted for at the election to be held in Jane next.

C. JonNSON, Chairman. Secretary. Chinese Immigration. The House Committee on Education nnd Labor have submitted a report on the Chinese immigration question which discusses the question with un usual impartiality. The lowest esti mate places the number of Chinese on this coast at 150,000, and the rate of in crease has been very rapid ; 6,691 hav ing arrived since the 1st of June, 1877. The passage can bo made so cheaply, the price having dropped under com petition from 50 to S12, that those who wish to come can do so without trouble, particularly as brokers stand ready to pay the passage money, securing its re payment by a mortgage contract on the coolie's wages. There is no likelihood that'under the present system the num bor of arrivals will ever decrease, and the prospect of a swarm of Mongolians Bpread over the entire Pacifio slope is anything but enlivening to Americans here, or promising to the nation. The report lavs special stress on the fact that these Chinese immmigrants do not assimilate with our people, nor be come citizens. They form a solid class by themselves and ure practically im pervious to American influences. Their presence is therefore demoralizing. There are other reasons why these peo ple are undesirable as immigrants, but these are the chief reasons, and they are sufficient It may be urged, on the other hand, that we do nothing to Americanize these coolies; that they are treated as inter lopers; that they aro frowned upon as a pest and pelted with prejudices first and brickbats afterwards. If they ask for religion, they got stones; and if they apply for education they are driven off as vagabonds, The treatment of Chi nese by the "hoodlums" on this Coast has been, undeniably, disgraceful. But this does not obliterate the fact that they are an undesirable element of population, and their coming ought to be discouraged, if it is not stopped alto gether. The committee argues that as the Chinese Oovernment is opposed to emigration, there will be no difficulty in putting a chock to it, especially as most of the immigrants come from Hong Kong, and recommend that the President be requested to open im mediate correspondence with the Chi nese and British Governments with a Tiew to putting a stop to "the unlimited immigration of the Chinese to the United States." ThU oouxae looks - plausible, and if wisely carried out may put an effectual check upon the grow ing difficulty. On the 31st of this month, in all prob ability, there is to be a grand congress of the European powers at Berlin for the purpose of settling the territorial differences between Turkey and Russia. It may be according to a new foreign oode that when a nation gets whipped the other nations are to settle the pen alty, but we are very much of the opin ion that had England strengtened her self by conquering a neighbor she would not permit other nations to dictate how sue was to treat uer laiien toe. it is very different, however, with barbarous Muscovites. The Standard thinks there is nothing in Watkinds resignation. Just wait until our next Republican Legislature investigates Chadwick & Co.'s manage ment of the State finances, and it will be forced to admit that there was some thing in it. The people want this mat ter sifted, and they intend to do it by giving us a Republican Legislature and State officers who will examine into the doings of Boss Chadwick and his gang. The Greenbackers are not taking much stock in the professions made by Demo crats to draw them into the Democratic ranks. A Greenbacker writing to the Albany Democrat says: I ask Democrats, now, as honest think incr men. if they believe tho leaders of the Democratic party were honest and sincere in supporting the St. Louis plat form that ignored a paper currency en tirely, if they can regard them consist ent with their financial position at pres ent? Surely not. At least such is the opinion of an humble Greenbacker. The Milwaukee 2Tes warns the Dem ocrats in Congress that " there are breakers ahead for their party " if they continue the policy of ousting every .Republican in Congress whose seat contested. IS What Is Wanted. Croakers are as plentiful in Oregon as the Biblical frogs. They say we want more capital to lubricate the ma chinery of advancement or we aro ruined. .. Pshaw! We want more men at the plow.and fewer hanging around city billiard rooms. If one-third of the vouner 'bloods" who spend their time trying to become " bad gamblers" would go out on farms and work, we would have hardly any need for immigration. Another need is more skill in preserv ing what is produced. What a plight the farmers are in for, granaries, barns and cellars. More of our products van ish by negligence than prudent con sumption. What a 'grand field for in ventive genius in preserving every thing from human energy down through product of field, the tree and vine to the fertility of the soil on which they depend ! We want more skill in putting out fires; more skill in propagating fish, in preserving jour forests and in destroying the pests that destroy the crops, we want more sun in our manufactures and art. Germany is fast outstripping England in mannfac tares because she taught her artizans and workmen drawing and model making. The United States must do the same, and then an iron or wood worker or house-builder can do his work from. drawing or models, as eco nomical mothers make clothes, and the extra cost of ovsrseers will be saved and successful competition with foreign manufactures assured. We want more contentment. Con tentment is the pillar of human happi ness. We want more men as willing to continue soiling their hands with hon est labor as to blacken their hearts with dishonest tricks. Solomon said: "He that rnleth his spirit is greater than he who taketh a city." We suppose the a i cuy may do as large as our own or Portland, and the man who should take it by armed force or speculation, when Peter Cooper shall be President, is not so great as he who controls his temper, his passions and desires of every kind What has unrest for sudden wealth brought upon us ? . Who would restore the feverish days of the good times? Who would darken the heavens again with a Black Friday, and make the grandest market in the world hideous wicu tue moans ana yens or men tumbling in delirium from delusive heights to ghastly depths ? Who would encore the terrible soenes in San Fran cisco that led to the suicide of Ralston and the ruin of hundreds? Those who suffer most from such times are those whose thrift was the greatest when they were furnished their labor or their goods or their wits by people whom they knew could ill afford tliem. Be cause the extravagance of the one and the thrift of the other have ceased. must the money prees be put in motion? That pursuit which depends upon the shiftlessness of others is fatal to all, and the sooner it is changed or limited the better. It is not the starry flag which guides the ship but the steady rudder. We want more men of brain and heart. McCracken's trade or Corbett's wealth never nourished the life springs of Oregon like the grit of Whiteaker and the philosophy of Applegate. We want more honest men now than we want more rich men. It is men and not dollars that constitute a State. Massa chusetts' glory is in the education she gives her children. Honest old Abe selected his generals without consider ing their wealth. Oregon chooses her legislators in the same way. It was the pen of a woman, without wealth, and not the purse of a rich man that gave the North courage to free a race of slaves. What is wanted is that the standard of human ambition should re late fxnore to the head and heart and less to the purse and panier. In conclusion, the fresh hope given the country by promise of an abundant harvest confirm the statement that more men are needed at the plow than in the city; more skilled men elsewhere, and more contentment and brain and heart rather than more money. Seme of the Germen citizens of Port land have sent tho following compli mentary words of approval to Hon. Carl Schurz, Secretary of the Interior, at Washington, D. C: We, the undersigned citizens, are prompted to express to you our sincere thanks and great admiration in unre served recognition of yoar eminent ser vices for the public welfare by your disinterested adherance to duty, the efficient, faithful and successful man agement of your department, and also by the energetic and incessant war on corruption, to establish in your depart ment, at least an honest, economical administration and set a good example to others. It is our desire, and we hope that calumny and persecutions may not deter you from continuing the good work. The intelligence is received from Rome that Pope Leo XIII has evinced an unmistakable intention of discour aging Mariolatry, or the virtual wor ship of the Virgin Mary in place of the Deity. He will also adopt a concilia tory policy in his relations with such governments as the Vatican has for some time past maintained a hostile attitude toward. These are wide de partures from the policy of his prede cessor, and the announcement will cre ate a sensation in Roman Catholic ranks. A New Orleans dispach of the 18th says in the case of the State vs. Ander son, appeal for a new trial.the Supreme Court reversed the verdict of the lower court and ordered the prisoner to be released. Ttrn V1 iet n J next Saturday. primaries a week from Watkinds' Resignation. That mysterious ' and long-talked-of document Watkinds' resignation has nt last been given to the public by the author, for his own vindication, and it will now be in order for Gov. Chadwick to come to the front and explain. Office of Scpebintkndent Oregon State Penitentiary Salem, Jan. 21st, 1877 To His Excellency L. F. Graver, Gov ernor of Oregon Dear Sib: I herewith tender my resignation as superintend ent of the Oregon State penitentiary, to take effect as 60on as tho property in my charge belonging to the State can be invoiced and the safety of the prison ers will permit a change in the officers in charge. Six years ago last September you ap pointed and commissioned me to the office of superintendent of the Oregon State penitentiary. At that time the field assigned me was entirely new, and after thanking you for the confidence reposed in me in conferring a position of so great importance to your adminis tration and to the people of the State of Oregon to my keeping, I said to you that my management of tha penitentiary should be no disgrace to your adminis tration, ilow well I have kept my promise I leave you and the great com monwealth of Oregon to judge. At each session of the legislature since iov committees nave ieen ap pointed to convict and not to try me of some dishonest transaction. So far they have failed, as may be seen by referring to the reports of the committees at each session of the general assembly. The first four years of the management of the State prison was very expensive to the taxpayers compared with the last three years but they must bear in mind the amount of money and labor that has been turned over to the State treas ury and State buildings-, to say nothing of the vast improvements of a perma 1 -1 A 1 neni cnaracrer maue on tne prison grounds. A new penitentiary has been built second to none in the United States for safety, durability, health and convenience. Une of the finest water powers in Oregon has been put in op eration, with a capacity of 800 horse power. Tho largest building for tan ning purposes and a shoe factory on the coast has been erected, and will acorn- modate 500 employes. Fine machinery has been placed in the shoe factory and is now in successful operation. The land belonging to the State when I took charge of tho prison was a forest of heavy timber and brush. At this time every foot of this land is in good culti vation. And there is now no good rea son why the Oregon State penitentiary. under good management, should not be a source of revenue to the State. My recommendation to the last legislature for an appropriation 40,000, which was made, reduces the expenses of the prison over one half as compared with the amounts appropriated inl8i2an 181, and this sum is more than suffi cient for tho actual maintenance of the prison. In conclusion permit me to say that for seventeen years, to some extent, we have been associated together in the political arena in Oregon. Daring most of this time I have listened to your wise advice and sound judgment, when at times wo may have differed in matters of political economv and public policy and I can look back over the past and truly say that you never advised any dishonest or corrupt trickery in all our transactions, but always contended that a straightforward courso was the sure way to success. And I am proud to eay that during the long time yon have served the poo pie of Oregon as their public servant, know of no dishonest or corrupt act in your private or public life. In saying this I only give currency to what the whole people of the commonwealth be lieve, and as an evidence of their faith in your fidelity and integrity they have placed you in the highest position with in their gift. And I sincerely hope your life and health may be spared for the six years you are to represent tho peo pie of Oregon in tho United States Senate. In tandering you my resignation at this time, I deem it due from me to the people of Oregon to explain why I have taken this course, as my commission of office does not expire until the end of tho executive term, ending Septem ber. 1878. Our State constitution provides, in case of a vacancy in the office governor, the secretary of State shall act as gov ernor. Such a vacancy will exist when you take your seat in the United States Senate on the 4th of March, 1877, and therefore the duties of governor wil devolve upon S. F. Chadwick, the pros ent secretary of State, whom, I am sor ry to say, I know to be a corrupt, bad man; and knowing him to be such. cannot be a party to his administration lie has received large Bums or. money from persons, claiming .that it shoul be given to him iu the way of presents by said parties, and in some cases the State has suffered by such corrupt and dishonest conduct from an executive officer and in violation of section 613, page 425, General Laws of Oregon. He has issued warrants on the State Treasurer in favor of the penitentiary building fund, for large sums of money for dishonest and extravagant claims against the State, without my signature to vouchers, which is also contrary to law; and said vouchers without my name are on file in his office, if not de stroyed, showing said amounts. For tho reasons above stated and for many others Imijht state if I felt called upon to do so at this time, I have de termined upon thu step. All of these great wrongs S. F. Chadwick has been guilty of while he has been Secretary of State. That such a bad and dangerous man as he has proven himself to bo, is to be governor of our young and pros perous Stale, is a shame and a disgrace to the commonwealth, and to the whole people. Hoping that tho kind feelings that have always existed between us "may ever continue, I am with respect, W. II. Watkinds, Sup't Oregon State Penitentiary. The House judiciary committee on Tuesday authorized Chairman Knott to prepare a report to the House on tho bill repealing the bankrupt law, to take effect as to involuntary proceedings im mediately after its passage, and as to voluntary proceedings from and after July 1, 1S79. The rush toward tho upper country continues. The Walla Walla Statesman notes the arrival of 300 passengers a week by the O. S. N. Co.'s boat3 and Dr. Baker's railroad. Washington Letter. i Washington. D. C, March 1, "78. Everybody is happy here now that we have remonetized silver. But as one of our ablest advocates of such policy ut ters a warning voice that the passage of the bill will not give the people out west, who put up their hands in hopes of catching big white dollars, all they wish of them, we fancy those he ad dresses will be so disappointed as not to share our happiness. There is an undoubted feeling of relief prevailing among those of moderate views, now that the contest on silver is ended for he present at least. Each is glad the end has come, and that now the country will drift into the experiment, no mat ter whether it be for good or for evil, and, in so far as we have observed, only the extremists are dissatisfied, yet as all oombined to override the President's veto, we presume all will acquiesce in the result and test the problem involv ed. We were somewhat surprised at Mr. Hayes' action, as it has seemed to the politicians generally that he would not put himself on the record against the undoubted two thirds which sent the bill to him. We presume, like President Johnson, he must have his say, whether or no, and doubtless, as always was the case with Mr. Johnson, he feels the better for it, though his veto was not of course induced by that inherent beligerency which seemed nat urally to make Mr. Johnson spoil for a fight. The House resolved itself at once into a bedlam of confusion as soon as the Speaker announced the President's veto, and it was greatly intensified by Sunset Cox claiming the message was "a charge of fraud by a fraud," for the Republicans rose to repel the imputa tion while the Democrats cheered lust ily for their quondam hero. When or der was restored the members soon gave the veto a black eye, for they made no delay in overriding it. Then came a general stampede of the mem bers for the Senate,- as each wanted to see how our dignified Solons would treat it. Even Sam Randall left tho Speaker's chair aud joined among the interested spectators admitted to the floor. But so speedily and summarily was the bill passed over the veto that many were disappointed in missing the anticipated fun. Mr. Conkling voted for sustaining the President, but did not make a speech, as was hoped. He ha3 been as mute as an oyster on several matters, and, we think, has greatly cha grined many of his admirsrs by his silence on these occasions. A man with his eye on the Presidency becomes at once a coward; not from conscience, as Hamlet claims, but rather from lack of it, and Mr. Conkling we fear, has been afraid to put himself upon the record by a set speech, just as other Senators have been forced into support of meas ures they have condemned all their past lives. Tin President's message is com mended for its brevity and clearness even by many who have voted against it, and now the country will determine who is right aud who is wrong in judg ment. That Mr. Sherman will CQrry out the law vigorously, no one doubts. Tuesday night the President held his last levee for this season, and the White House had its usual crowd of callers, glare of gas light, inspiring utrains of music from the Marine band, and rich and elegant toilettes worn by the jewel led dames, as well as those of such plainness as the ordinary citizen can afford. There was more of the common citizen element appearing than in those of the past two months, for each one seemed anxious to embrace the last op portunity to be had for months of meet ing Mr. and Mrs. Hayes in reception, which after this is accorded only to those above the plain citizen in sphere. On Thursday night Mr. Evarts gave his last State reception at his residence. It was a splendid affair, though the im mense crowd rendered it somewhat un comfortable. Mr. Evarts shook hands cordially with each caller when he was announced at the door, but his face wore an appearance of weariness and tiredness as if he were bored ont of all patience by the task; yet standing near him was Mrs.Evarts whose bright smile and fresh hearty manner of receiving made the guest feel at once at home. Her young handsome daughters stood by her and seemingly shared her en thusiasm. She is evidently a woman of rare accomplishments and tact, and while she way have felt the Secretary's enui, it was effectually hidden by her graoe, ease of manner and cordiality with which she moved and received throughout the evening. Ample re freshments were provided and the rapid disappearance of the luxuries from the often replenished tables showed clearly that there was no lack of appetite among the thousand or more guests. The wives of the various diplomats were preseat, but the diminutive consort of the Japanese minister attracted most attention. She was arranged in richly figured silk of oriental design, with full train, which, with her extreme small eyes, necessarily rendered her the ob ject of general notice. She, however, seemed as much at ease as the grandly attired and beautiful wife of the Spanish minister, whose regal toilette and bear ing seemingly placed her at thefront'of fashion and accomplishments. Over 1,000 invitatious had been sent out and so many dignitaries were present that it seemed no one invited had remained away, hence the crowd and jam may be appreciated. Dr. Mary Walker now appears in a new roll. She demands that she be ap pointed a policeman, so that she can arrest our hoodlums who hoot at her and her sister of the bef urcated garment persuasion, Mrs. Tilletson, when they appear on the streets. She complains that, go where she will, she is an object of public persecution by boys, and she sees no remedy but to change her cos tume to become a policeman. As she will not wear skirts and asserts that her pantaloons should bo protected as well as respected, there seems no help for it but to be made a policeman and given a club instead of natty little cane which she sports at all times when on the streets. Mr. Boutwell, when Secretary of the Treasury, promised her a clerk ship if she would dress as other ladies, but she declined the appointment and has constantly since refused every offer of place based upon her assumption of ordinary female dress. The government printing office is coming in for a large share of abuse just now, and of course merits it, as the accusers wants the government to give them its printing. Junius. Telegraphic News. TCasteru. Washington, March 16. The sub committee of the Senate railroad com mittee to-day made a unanimous report to the full committee in favor of Senator Mitchell's bill extending the time for completion of the main line of the N.P. railroad to eight years. The bill as amended compels the companv to build on the south side of the Columbia river to Portland and Kalama. W. T. It throws all the lands open to settlement of pre-emptors at $2 50 per acre, the proceeds to be paid into the U.S. treas ury, and by the secretary of the treas ury to be placed to the credit of the company. When any section or sec tions of the road are completed and accepted by the government, then the secretary of the treasury shall pay di rectly to the company the proceeds of all lands designated by odd sections adjacent to the completed road in which pre-emption acta are not attached to the company, with restrictions they shall be sold in quantities not exceeding 160 acres to one person, at not exceeding 2 50 per acre. The bill also provides for the protection of settlers now on the lands. The even sections are thrown open to homesteaders, 160 acres to each person. It also permits those who have been restricted to 80 acres under exist ing laws to enlarge their claims to 160 acres. The extension is on the express condition that the N. P. railroad com pany shall commence the construction of their road at Portland within nine months after the date of the passage of the aefc, and constrnct at least thirty three miles within one year thereafter on the south side of the Columbia river and that each year thereafter the com pany builds one hundred miles of road, at last twenty -five of which shall be on the Pacific coast. Tho bill further provides that the road from Umatilla to Portland shall be a common road for the use of the Northern Pacific and Salt Lake and South Pass companies under such terms as they may agree, and in the event of a failure to agree, such terms as may be agreed upon by three persons selected by tho President of the United States. The extension does not extend to the branch line across the Cascade mountains, but lands on the branch amounting to seven million acres are restored to the public domain, and in lieu of these lands an equal amount is granted the Portland, Salt Lake and South Pass company in aid of a road from Umatilla to Salt Lake with like restrictions as to the sale of lands by the government, and on condition that the company shall commence at Uma tilla within six months after the date of tho passage of the act, and build and equip twenty-five miles of road within one yoar thereafter, fifty miles within each succeeding year, and the whole within four years from the commence ment of tho work.

O'Donovan Rossa arrived here this morning, leav ing the train before reaching tho station and kept dark all day. He lectured tms evening at bt. Jatricts llall to an audience of about 150. The streets and vicinity were crowded by a mob. Five companies of the Queen's Own and four of the lenth Royals were mustered quietly in the drill shed a hundred 1 i ti mi yams irom tne nan, ine moment gas was turned on in tho hall the mob out side opened fire with stones, and a per fect shower was rained in the windows until the theatre closed at 9:30. Not pane of glass was left. Rossa stopped several times, and one of tho audience proposed they should charge down stairs and out. This was overruled. and the audience waited in darkness for the mob to disperse. At 10:15 Rossa stole quietly out to King street and passed unobserved into the crowd, and the audience got out in twos and threes after him. Later, 19th, 2 A. M.

Hundreds of roughs are still congregated in gangs in the lanes and back streets, and the police are parad ing the streets in force. Chicago, March 18. The Tribune's London special says: Although the Russo-Turkish treaty has been ratified by both powers, the situation of affairs is regarded as very dangerous to the peace of Europe, and while ostensibly there is no desire for war by any power, there are indications that the general drift is warlike rather than peaceable. Pestit, March 18. Prince Bismarck has notified Jthe Austrian Government that Russia, in consequence of his in tervention, has consented to submit all thej peace conditions, without excep tion, to the thelCongress for discussion, should the Congress make a demand to that effect. A Till for Quacks. ItJ is a good sign to see an editor of a Democratic paper with courage enough to soar above the vulgar prejudices of his bigoted constituents and take a bold stand against the quackery in medicine so commonly practiced in Oregon. It is with more than ordinary pleasure that we publish the following well written article on "Licensed Murders" from tho Portland Standard: The Oregon City Enterprise is doing good work for suffering humanity and the many ills it is heir to, by insisting that the next Legislature shall pass a bill making it a criminal offense for any one to practice regularly as a physician who has not received a diploma from some medical college of acknowledged reputation. The human system is too delicately organized to permit of empir ical experiments, and as many of our people are not in a position to know whether a man is a graduate of a med cal college or not, we think it the duty of our law makers to come to their res cue. As our statute books read to-day, murder i3 licensed by permitting any one, under the pretence of rendering a physician's service, to dose his poor victim with strychnine, or uieea mm to ath. Editors who havo not graduated at a leading university are often the superiors of those who have; lawyers who have never listened to the lectures of a Sharswood, a Parsons or a Story are nevertheless liable to be shining lights at the bar; clergymen who have not passed through the holy walls of a the ological seminary are yet very apt to make converts and preach good sermons, Dut a man who has not careiuny stuaiea the intricacies of the human frame un der professors of recognized worth, and learned all the different compositions oi materia medlca in a way to know the difference between precipitate chalk and prussic acid, and received from his pro fessors some written testimonial of his ability, has no more right to exercise his death dealing art among our citizens than a hari-kari maniac has to rush through our streets with a butcher knife. We commend the Enterprise for the strong ground it has taken in this matter, and hope that the legislators throughout the State will give the pro posed bill, at the next session, the at tention it so truly deserves.
