SHALL THE CHINESE COME {
For nearly a century. Republicanism has
been on trial in the United States. During
this time it has had many trials and vicis
situdes ; internal dissensions, political ex
citements, rebellions within and wars with
out, both cflcnrive and defensive, but it
has come out of them ali purified, strength
ened and improved. Each successive trial
has only prepared it for some greater tri
uuipb. Its most sanguine friends have of
ten felt alarmed for its integrity, while its
enemies oft-times ju.-t the very moment
preceding the victory have declared its fail
ure in boastful triumph. When the vast
tide of immigration from oppressed and
over crowded Europe first began to debouch
upon our shores, grave doubts were enter
tained by many earnest friends of Republi
canism of our ability to assimilate so vast a
body of men, often ignorant both of the
rights and duties of a free people. But the
ever increasing tide from every nationality j
Bud all c'a-scs of society was receive! and
assimilated and the astonishing spectacle of I
a people, gathered from every nationality
upon the habitable globe, at once adapting !
themselves to the manners and customs and
assuming the responsibilities of freemen and
becoming intelligent utembersof the body pol
itic, was for the first time presented to the
civilized world. Prophets of evil have
continually risen up, but their prcdictious
have failed of fulfilment. Our Jail great
trial just passed, the grandest industrial
triumph of any ago or nation, the Pacific
railroad, has brought us lace to face with a ;
new and perplexing question. What shall j
be done with the Chinaman? The prophets I
of evil arc not wanting. Some advise to I
shut our gates and deny our Republican '
faith. Others truer to principle but faint
hearted are undecided and wavering. Our
country demands hardy, sober, industrious,
peaceful laborers to till her sob, work her
urines, run her factories and build her rail
roads. i here is work for millions. The
Chinaman fulfils all these conditions; he is
apt to learn, industrious, frugal, temperate,
'rusty and hardy-. But he has a yellow
skin; he belongs to another rice; he is an |
idolater; he will revolutionize labor and j
take bread from the mouths of our own >
people. This !a-t is the cry of the denia- j
gogue. It has beeo raised again -t the for- !
eigner from every clime. It has L<en !
urged against labor saving machinery,
against railroads and ca in fact against
every invcution of art or discovery in science,
and is only the old protest of ignorance and
prejudice against all attempts to Lett' r the
condition of the human race, and as .-u -h
may be dismissed as of > imp .nan -. The
cry of ciste comes from another t arty, for
the most part iu our south rn states, and is
fast giving way to toe pres.-ing dituand for la
bor iu that section and in this way the ques
tion will so ,u be solved in favor f the China
man. The third class is com posed for the most
part of those who have the best interests,
not only of the nation but of the human
race at heart, but are timid ami doubting
in the face of a great tnoial question with
which they doubt their own ability- to grap
pie. \\ hat will be the moral and political
influence of the immense influx o' tlu ■ idol
aters that now secuis imminent, is a qo-vs
tion that may well occupy the best tuitds
of our nation. The moral question under
lies a,i the others. Can we christianize the
Mongolian ? The divine cc-inmand "go ye
into al the world preaching the gospel to
every crea'ure" is a binding to day- on all
christian nations as when it first fell from
the lips of our Saviour. All christians
recognize its binding force. In obedimee
to it we are sending the uiissionaiy of tb-
Cross into the wilds of Africa and the burn
ing sandsof Asia. Wherever rcpresen'atives
l the human race exist we recognize snd
obey the command. Shall we then shrink
from the task when a broader field opeo
before us? If the Idolatrous millions of
China and Japan choose to come to a chris
tian land within the reach and under the
influence of christian teachings, dare we
deny them admittance? Where can we
find better opportunities for preaching the
gospci to them than in our own homes?
No; the Chinaman must not be denied ad
mission. He m U -t be welcomed with opeu
arms Here is offered the grandest oppor
tunity for missionary labor that Las been
afforded since the Apostles began the work.
Moral convictions and christian duty say h t |
(Item come—the necessities of the time say j
let them coiue—and the great fundamental !
principles of our Republican government
say let them come. If the occasion de j
mands cx.raordiuary exeit'.on on our part,
we must gird ourselves for the work and !
accept (he duties of" the hour, with a cbcer- j
ful and steadfast faith that the Providence i
that brings these children of the orient to |
°ur shores will give us the necessary strength :
and wisdom to work out this last problem i ;
our civilization j 0 a fc a ppy conclusion, '
extend our free -institutions and blass the !
w hole human race.
THE Canadian authorities are actively
engaged in an effort to obtain once more a
one-sided reciprocity treaty with the United

tor rebels during the war and did all in her

better without reciprocity. When Canada
wants it again she can get it by coming into
our L rdon. But we want no more recipro
city.

BOOZY BUNCOMBE.
The copperhead platform is a rich piece
of political buncombe. The coo! impudence
of its assertions is only equalled by the pre
sumption of ignorance in their ranks suffi
cient to swallow the impudent falsehoods
and glaring inconsistencies it contains. The
Second resolution reads as follows:
2. That the attempted ratification of the
proposed fifteenth amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution by the Radical members of
the last Legislature and their refusal to sub
tnir the same to a vote of the people, was a
deliberate breach cf their official duty, and
an outrage upon every citizen of the State,
and the resolution making such ratification
should be promptly repealed, and the
amendment submitted to the people at the
polls, for acceptance or rejection.
"The attempted ratification" is a piece of
brazen effrontery seldom equalled. The
merest schoolboy knows not only that the
ratification by the Legislature was real and
genuine but that it is the method expressly
provided for iu the Constitution of the
1 nitcd States as our fathers made it. It
is said that Frank Hughes drew up the
platform and we can only account for this
j stupidity on his part by supposing, that he
! was in the condition of so many of the
members of the Convention, who are said to
have selected their lodgings for the night
on street cellar doors and in dirty alleys
rather than in the comfortable hotels. Cer
tainly none but a drunken man or a simple
ton would have fallen into the utter absur
dity of insisting in a party platform that an
amendment to the Constitution of the I'm- I
ted States was invalid because it was passed j
in strict accordance with that clause of the !
Constitution which provides for its own
amendment. The most charitable construc
tion we can put upon this plank of their
pla'form is that the whole convention were
so boosy that they confounded our own
State Constitution with the Constitution of
the United States. The State Constitution
does require that any amendment to it shall
be voted upon by the people, but the Con
stitution of the United States does not on
the contrary it specifically requires (hat any
amendment shall be passed by two thirds of
the State Legislatures. Our copperhead
friends while in tbeir cups have been guilty
of openly d. tuatiding in their patty platform,
a high bunded violaton of the Constitution
of the [ uited States for the very letter of
which they have heretofore been such per- i
sistcut sticklers.
THE UNEXPENDED BALANCE.
Now is the time to determine the policy
of out next Legislature in regard to the un
expended balance in the State Treasury.
The law needs a radical change in regard to
j tbe disposition of these surplus funds. An
i average of a million dollars lies in the Trea
sury the year through. This money it is
alleged is used by the Treasurers for specu
lative purposes and the interest accrues to
the benefit of the Treasurer netting him
perhaps a hundred thousand dollars a year
that ought to go to the account of the State.
Let our Senators and members of the Leg
islature be pledged to pass a law providing
for the depositing or otherwise disposing of
this surplus fund in such a manner that the
ii terest accruing may go into the Treasury
instead of the pockets of the Treasurer
1 his is a matter that calls loudly for reform
and cannot be attended to-too soon. If the
Treasurer's salary is too small for the re
sponsibility he has to assume let it be in
creased to a fair remuneration, but let hitit
Le obliged to give a sufficient security instead
of a merely nominal one, and then let him
be required under heavy penalty to use the
public funds for the benefit of the State
alone, and not for personal emolument.
With security in a sum scarcely a tenth
part of the fund entrusted to their care it
is certainly very creditable to the men who
fcave held the office of Treasurer that they !
have not become defaulters. The tempta I
tion to dishonesty has been great and it is
entirely due to the high character and integ
rity of our Treasurers of late years that the
State has not lost large sum--. —Under Dent- -
ocratic management the Treasury was al
ways empty and the paltry pay and small j
Security were then amply sufficient for all ;
the funds to be cared for. It is since the '
Republican party has been economizing the
fund and paying the debt tbat a heavy sur
plus is frequently left in the Treasury await
ing the payment of interest due on the debt.
How maDy Republican members and Sena
tor- -hall b • pledged to a revi-ion of the law }
atd the providing for a still further economi- j
zing of the public funds ?
THE Democracy love to talk of Republi
can extravagance and insist that Democrats
alone know how to economize. As they
are sk>vv about giving us any illustration of
their ability and will to conomize, it may
not he amiss to call their attention to tho
doings of the Ohio State government of the
last year. The chief clerk of the Ohio Sen
ate d ew pay at the rate of five dollars per
day tor two years service and made out a
bill a"d got the pay, for 845 days. No one
tut a Democrat could have done 845 days
work in two years. That is 115 more days
than ordinary people find in two years, even
including Sundays. Tbat is sharp figuring
in Democratic economy, but tbe clerk of the
Ohio House of Representatives, beats it he
performed the very remarkable feat of doing
500 days work, and getting the pay for it
all in one year. Considering that the
Democracy have been out of power for a
long time and consequently ate out of prac
tice, this is certainly a very clever beginning
They are entitled to the palm for dexterity
in figuring up salaries. Though the Re
publican party lias many accessions from
Di mocrscy, and not all from pure patriot
i-tn either, their work will still not bear
comparison with the Ohio Democracy. We
really pity poor Packer now that he has fal
len into the hands of such .cormorants.
They will pluck him effectually, but we hope
to see the time indefinitely postponed, when
the sharp figuring of such tnen as the Ohio
IHunocraey shall be brought to bear upon
the treasury of our state.
\\ E observe that B. B. Strang has been
renominated in Tioga county for the Legis
lature. If the Republicans of Tioga wish
to help along the cause of Republicanism
they had better leave Strang at home. No
Republican in the hist Legislature had a
worse record than Strang. He was the un
blushing advocate of the pasting and fold
ing swindle, and seems to have had a band
in almost every piece of jobbery daring the
ses.-ion. The more of the members of the
last Legislature that are left at home the
better for the Republican party. We pro
test against returning men who have been
known to take part in, vote for, or connive
at anv manner of corruption and swindling.
We want holiest men who know and will
dare to do their duty. To renominate such
men as Strang is treason to the Republican
party. m
JrsT at a time wheD the whole country
ia crying cut against railroad monopolies and
their abuies ilie Copperheads of our state
nominate a railroad King lor Governor and
moreover cue whose direct interest identi
fies him with New York railroad interests
ami against our own state. How can they
expect Pennsylvania!)? to vote for such a
man?
THE Wall street brokers of Now York
seem likely to have a check put upon their
high profits and exorbitant rates of inter
est. The law officers have prosecuted them
for violation of the usury laws, and public
opinion will sustain the prosecution and the
enforcement of the laws. Wall street com
binations to extort usurious interest have
become so common and resulted in so great
damage to the commercial interests of the
country that they will get no sympathy
whatever from the public. It is certainly
desirable that while usury laws exist they
should be rigidly enforced, and in view cf
the combinations of capitalists for tighten
ing the money markets and extorting usuri
ous rates of interest, we are inclined to
think that laws prohibiting usnrious rates
of interest are still needed for the protec
tion of the public.
THE Copperhead rejoicing over the Vir
ginia election calls forth the indignant pro
test of the Walker party. The Richmond
Enquirer of the 3Cth inst., say 6:
"The Democratic papers at the North
have committed a very grave error in
ascribing this great victory to the 'Virginia
Democracy.' There has been no such party
in this State far tight years, and its very
bones have rolled, and noic crumble at the.
touch. No resurrectionary process could
briny that party to life, and its ashes lie
mingled with, and undistinguished from,
that of the old Whig party."
THE new ten and fifteen cent currency is
beginning to appear in circulation. The de
sign of the notes is neat and they are print
ed on good paper. If we are obliged to
contiuue the use of small currency it cau
scarcely be improved, but wc would be
heartily glad to have the small paper cur
rency disappear and be replaced with the
old silver coin. If this cannot be done there
should be a provision made to secure the re
turn of soiled and worn currency to the
Treasury where itWrould be destroyed and
its place supplied by new.
THE copperheads have always been bitter
ly opposed to carpet baggers and most bit
terly to Yankee carpet baggers. How does
it come that they have forgotten their old
antipathy so suddenly? Or did they for
get that Packer is a Connecticut carpet bag
ger? One of the very worst kind of
yankecs. What does it all mean? How
can our copperheads swallow this nasty,
bloated, bondholding Yankee ? Is it his
money ? Gold has certainly a wonderfully
persuasive influence with these copperheads.
It will induce them even to swallow one of
those pestiferous Yankees. Ugh !
THE STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION,
which is to meet at Grcensburg on the 10th
of August, promises to be a complete sue
cess. The people of Grcensburg have al
ready made arrangements to give the teach
crs a hearty welcome. All the ladies who
may attend will be entertained free of charge
and gentlemen at the low rate of from one
dollar to one dollar and fifty cents per day.

THE British House of Lords has at last
succumbed to populor opinion and the views
of the Commons on the Disestablishment
question. The bill as passed finally is called a
compromise bill but it is of that kind in which
the real advantage is all on one side while
the pride of the other is shielded by a show
of concessions that mean nothing. Liberal
Ideas are fast gainiug ground in England
and tbe aristocracy of the nobility is gradu
ally losing its prestige as well as its power.
IT is reported that General Canby will in
sist upon tbe members of the Virginia Leg-'
islatuie taking the test oath, in which case
there will a sufficient number of Walker
men ineligible to give the Wells men a ma
jority and consequently the two United
States Senators to be elected. The ques
tion will be brought before the Attorney
General for Lis opinion. What the result
will be remains to be seen.
I NDER the prudent inangement of Secre
tary Bouiwell our credit abroad basso much
improved that a German house in Frank
fort, ha- offered to loan our government
three hundred millions of dollars at five per

within the year to be able to borrow money
at four per cent with which to take up our
bonds on which wc are now paying six and
seven per cent.

ONE more monopoly seems likely to be

THE news from Cuba is of a conflicting

if we shortly hear of the final suppression

THE cops are strangely jubilant over their

an idea that they will find Packer packing

A VOICE FROM HOME.
The Lehigh Register, published in a sec
tion of country traversed by Mr. Packer's
iron rails, and in which the railroad, canal
and coal king has some little personal, but
no political influence, thus speaks of the
Democratic nominee for Govornor:
"Asa Packer is worth twenty million of
dollars, and that is the sole cause of his
nomination. The same reason for bis
nomination for the presidency was urged
last summer in New York. Merit, states
manship, the interests of our Common
wealth, are all thrown to one side, and the
people of Pennsylvania are asked to make
wealth the sole qualification for office. After
a struggle of a century against the despotism
of the Old World, we are urged to relin
quish our victory and erect in the glorious
old Keystone State an aristocracy of money.
"The people of Pennsylvania want a Gov
ernor of wealth even greater than that Asa
Packer possesses. They will require more at
his hands than Asa Packer can give. They
will ask him to be honest, uptight, straight
forward and above all loyal, and this iast
qualification especially Asa Packer lacks, and
without this wealth of honor—devotion to
his country in her great trials —no man can
ever be elected Governor of Pennsylvania.
"He is magnanimous! Yes, he is benevo
lent. His open-hcartedness was plainly
shown in his distribution of free passes to
his supporters to enable them to go to Har
risburg. It was still more plainly shown
when he endowed a college with five hundred
thousand dollars—but how were his means
devoted during the great rebellion, while
his opponent was braving the perils of the
battle-field and risking even a greater than
Asa Packer's fortune in defense of his
country'? If we remember aright, during
that time Government required immense
quantities of coal; Asa Packer saw the
chance to make himself a nabob, and all his
means and energies were enlisted in that sole
object It was during this time that Asa
Packer made his fortune out of the ne
cessities of our Government, and the war.
which was death and desolation to so many
homes, put millions into his pockets and
made him the Democratic candidate for
Governor in 1809.
"It remains to be seen whether the people
will reward the man who won affluence and
wealth from the taxes levied to carry on the
war, or the man who gave up everything
for his country, in her tore time of need.
The former controls a gigantic monopoly,
run in the interests of New York, and every
thing that he can do is done against one of
Pennsylvania's most important interests.
Philadclphians. especially, owe him a
grudge. The Lehigh Valley road uses every
means in its power to divert from their city
the trade of the Lehigh Valley. Whether
it is done to injure Philadelphia or to break
down the North Pennsylvania railroad, it
makes no difference; the truth is the same
and is just as unpalatable to Philadclphia
ns."
FROM WASHINGTON.
Satisfactory Condition of the National
Finances—What Secretary Doutwell has
Accomplished—Reduction of $13,000,00(1
in the Public Debt—Cash on hand- —Gold
$(>0,000,000; Currency , $26,000,000.
WASHINGTON, July 24.
THE NATIONAL FINANCES.
The expectations of the officials in the
Treasury Department, is, that the debt
statement for August will show a reduction
of about nine millions in the month of July,
making a total of forty-three millions since
March 4. It is anticipated, by Secretary
Boutwell, that he will be able to reduce the
debt the first year of his administration fifty
millions of dollars. There are seven months
left, but the receipts in those months arc
not expected to come up very much beyond
the expenses of the Government. There
will be fifteen millions of dollars to be paid
out in August and September, on account
ol the pension li.-st, and in the fall months
the drafts of tue V ar Department, for quar
termaster and commissary stores, for the
winter season, are always heavy.
It is not expected that there will be any
reduction of the debt before October, al
though it is believed that it will not increase
much, if any, in August or September.
Ihe \\ edne.-day purchases of bond.- will
have to be discontinued alter the next pur
chase, as there is not likely to be any sur
plus currency with which to buy more than
the regular amount. If there should be any
unusual increase of the customs receipts,
the Secretary will be able to increase his
sales of gold, which will giye him more cur
rency to make up the deficit. At present,
however, he does not anticipate any stiles
of gold beyond his present arrangements.
CASH ON HAND.
There is now in the Treasury twenty six
millions of currency, which is about the
same amout as Secretary McCulloch had at
this time in 1868. There is sixty-six and
a half millions of gold coin belonging to the
government, and last year, at this time,
there was sixty ope millions of coin, exclu
sive of the deposits, which are now thirty
seven millions, a larger figure than they
ever before reached.
RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.
The receipts from all sources, since July
1, are thirty millions, and the disburse
incuts on account of government expenses,
arc twelve millions. The interest due on
the public debt is nearly eleven millions per
month, which, added to the expenses, make
twenty-three millions to come out of the
thirty millions receipts, which leaves, up to
to-day, a reduction of about feven millions,
and, in the remaining week of July, itis ex
pected that there will be two millions more
in excess.
His currency balance, it will be seen, docs
not at present admit ol the purchase of any
unusual amount of bonds in August, and the
low state of bis gold balance does not ren
der it likely tbat he will have any extra coin
to dispose of at present
The orders to buy bonds and to sell coin
are always based upon the condition of the
public funds, and the prices at which either
rule in the market have uo effect at all upon
the Secretary.
NOTICE is Riven by the Secretary of the
treasury that the new paper for bank notes
and bonds has been adopted by authority of
law. One of its peculiarities is the intro
dution of colored silk, cotton and other
fibrous material into the paper while in
process of manufacture. By law it is felony
tor any person to have or retain in his cus
tody or possession any paper adopted for
the making of any such obligations or secu
nties, and similar to that designated by the
Secretary of the Treasury, except under au
thority of the Secretary or some other prop
er officer of the United States, and any per
son offending against the statue will on
conviction thereof be punished by a fine not
exceeding $5,000 or by imprisonment and
confinement at hard labor not exceeding fif
teen years, or both at the discretion of the
Court.
THE humidity of the atmosphere, it is
reported, has been increased on the isth

Alexander H. Stephens' interminable

Oregon Llmber— The lumber re
sources of the State of Oregon are abun
dant. Dense forests of the finest fir, spruce
and cedar grow from the coast range and
along the banks of the Columbia river and
its tributaries as far up as the Dalles.
There is an inexhaustible supply of the
finett and best quality of timber at the
mouth of the Columbia river, and back of
the town of Astoria is the most magnificent
forest, of spruce and yellow fir that is to be
found anywhere on the Pacific coast. Nature
has done everything to make the forest of
timber along the Columbia river a source
of great profit to the lumberman; the finest
of timber being handy to shipping, and as
there is fine water power on all the streams
emptying into the Columbia, lumber eau be
manufactured very cheap. The bottom
lands along the river arc also covered with
a thick growth of vine, maple, aider, cedar,
ash and eottonwood.-r— Alta Cal.
As there seems to be a general uii.-under
standicg about the difference between the
Union Pacific'aod Central Pacific Railroads,
a few words of explanation may be advisa
ble. The quarrel last winter wafabout the
point of junction, the Union Pacific want
ing it at Promontory, and the Central Pa
cific at Ogdcn. An act of Congress, pascd |
on the 10th of April, settled that by provid
ing that the junction should be at or near
Ogden, providing that the Unioo Pacific
should build a line from Ogdcn to Promon
tory, and that the Central Pacific should
then take it at co-t. The point of junction
will be a few miles west of Ogden, and the
present quarrel is as to which company shall
have the government bonds for the section
from this point to Promontory, nearly fifty

and claim ibeui oil that account. The Cen

claims them. Congress may have to settle
the difficulty.
Tiie basis of settlement between the lit
igaots in the management of the- Toledo
and Wabash Railroad Company, which
we have already announced as having been
accomplished, comprises the following
points: The Erie party are to withdraw
all suits; the company to issue $1,00,000
new stock, to be evenly divided between the
two parties to the controversy; the Alton
and Toledo Road, one hundred miles in
length, is to be commenced within two
months and finished within* eight months;
the Decatur and East St. Louis Road, now
being built, is to be completed and con
solidated with the Toledo and Wabash Com
pany, upou terms agreed on some time ago:
the Erie party are to have three directors,
out of fifteen, in the Toledo and Wabash
management.
THE SUEZ canal will be formally opened

THE Secretary of the Treasury has decided
to permit the substitution of ten forties for
live twenties, or the exchange of any gold
beating bonds now held as security for cir
culating notes on the basis hitherto adopted,
the ten forties to be received at eighty-five
per cent, of their paf value, and all other
six per cent, gold bearing bonds at ninety
per cent. The six per cent, currency bonds
issued by the United States to the Pacific
llailroad, will not be received as security
for the circulation of the national hanks,

agent of tbe National Steamship Company,
leaves to day in tl.e steamship Prance tor
England, for the purpose of cultivating ihe

Western states to Europe. Ilis theory is
that inasimlch as the West is the producer,

be made in lie W.-rt daily, the same as from
New York, that C! kago and the West is
the poiut where orders from Europe should

TUE bill for the punishment of seduction,
recently before the Canadian Parliament,
provides that the seduction under promise
of marriage of a chaste unmanied woman
shall be punished by imprisonment for two
years, but no conviction shall be had, in any
case, "on the testimoney of tbe woman
seduced, unsupported by other evidence,
nor unless the indictment is found within
two years after the offence." The object of
refusing-to receive the woman's testimony
as conclusive, is to prevent the innumerable
cases of prosecution, by designing women,
for sinister and mercenary purposes.
A GENTLEMAN from the vicinity of York,
l'a., informed us that so great lias been the
scarcity of rain in that locality that the corn
is very much back. aud presents a dry and
shriveled appearance. In York county,
and within six or seven miles of Harrisburg,
wc have another almost rainless district; so
great is the drought in that section that
springs, which have not failed for a period
of fifty years, are dry. While some regions
are suffering from too much, rain others are
suffering from its absence.
