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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
