J"."1 ' " 11 leliawl . tun "TUB liSAi'llES CMS EE." Tho denizens ol' the Celoatial Kmpiro aro beginning to annoy tlio dema gogues on this Continent. For filly years tho United States Government, through Missionaries, Naval, and tho civil all tiul ! lit-n, Sin tuned llicCliinmu authorities to enter into a treaty of Undo and commerce. Finally, this Chrinlian Government of ours no- coeded in uiibollin the doors of that far-off hoathon country, a free entrance was agreed to, and a treaty of com merco was signed and exchanged bo twoon tho two powers. Now, such men as Hon. Butler, Kearny, and their fullowora, want to violato that agreo ment and foroo all Chinamen to leave the shores to which they havo been invited by a solemn treaty. Who can defend this Yankee trick T Why should the Chriatiun be the first to violate a sacred compact of this char acter ? If Nations can arbitrarily set aside solemn agreements, what is to prevent individuals from practicing tho example. Such conduct is indutensiblo and tho man or party which demanded enfranchisement and cilizennbip for the Afiicun Negro in the post, and now clamors for the dil'ranchiemcnt and banishment of tho Chinaman, is cither a knave or a fool, and should be ehimned by others as a fur moro dan gerous mail than the worst heathen on our shores: Wa notice that the editor of the Philadelphia Record has given the question somo thought, and wo repro. auce nis article, as lollows : it may bo impolitic to invite Chiucso immigra tion and to mako citizens of Chinamen in this country, but under tho treaty engagements entered into between tho United Slates and China, the Celestials have rights in the United Suites which white men are hound to respect These engagements oblige us to treat Chinatnon coming to this country as we treat citigens of other and "the most luvored Mutions," General Butlor and Citizen Kearney to tho contrary notwithstanding. And what makes our obligations in this respect peculiarly binding upon us is the fact that our treaty with China resulted from tur own overtures to (lie (iovemment of that country, and that its terms as to both countries wero chiefly dictated or suggested by ourselves. The Chinese authorities were never anxious to treat with other Nutione, preferring to keep themselves to themselves as fur as pqssiblo ; but uller assenting to a treaty with this country, framed in conformity with our own desires, they have a perloct right to demand that wo shall comply wilh lis terms, and treat such Chinese as como hither sc cording to the solemn agreement made between tho two Governments Yot Gonoral Butlor, Citizen Kearney and the people of California generally bold that our Federal, State and municipal governments have a perfect right to discriminate against Chinese immi grants, to impose special taxes upon them, pass special laws against them and to treat them generally as people Laving no rights. Butler has made common cause wilh the Calilornia hoodlums as a means of conciliating and capturing tho wbito laborers of Massachusetts and popularizing him soli with the while people of thocoun try in general. The Chineso cannot vote, and it is safe, thorefore, to treat them as mere brutes, having no rights, human or political. A man of General Butler's standing as a statesman might be presumed to respect international treaties, to say nothing ot tho claims of humanity and the dictates of Chris tianity; but it seems that with bim domagogism has overridden every thing else and brought bim down to tho hoodlums' low level of race preju dice, notwithstanding the stand here tofore taken by him in behalf of the African. The arrival of tho Chinese Embassy just at this time, with refer ence to the treaty, is opportune ; but its presence will not deter Butler and Kearney from continuing their crusade against the Chinese. What care they for treaty obligations when political capital can bo made by abusing and outraging Chinamen f It is due to General Butler to say, however, that he bases bis opposition to the Immi grants from the Flowory Land not so much upon prejudice on account of their race and color as upon the fact, as be argues, that they are "paupers.'' The Essex statesman always manages to be uniiiuo in his attitude and ex pressions, but be is not always correct. The Chineso in this country are not paurcrs. They are remarkable for their Industry, and all of them manage to take caro of themselves, notwith standing the strong prejudice against them. But then are so few of them in Massachusetts that Butler's asser tion may pass unquestioned in that Slate and may provo "a good enough Morgan till aftor the election." It is somewhat amusing to find General Butler joining Kearney against tho Chineso. Tho fact would indicate that the) California' agitator has converted the Massachusetts soldier and states man, and proves that they aro a noblo pair of demagogues." THE RAMCALQKRR YMAXDER No freo people were ever beforo so hugolydofraudcd out of theirequitable rights, as the Democrats of Pennsyl vania were at tho last apportionment of tin Kioto, into Senatorial and Rep resontativo districts, by the fiadical leaders. To illustrato still farther what we mean we quote Irom the Fittsburg Poit, as follows: "The elections occurring this fall in the throe great States of New York, Pennsylvania and Indiana, which com priso within their limits more than one-fourth tho population of the Union, fur Congressmen and United Slates Senators, Invite attention to the. in famous disfranchising apportionments the Republican party, in the insolence of its power, imposed on the people of I' these States, in ordor that the will of ' the people might be defeated by an in ! famous legislative juggle. The ap portionments in these States for Con- I gressmon nnd State Legislature aro a J stupendous crime against rcprcscnlA- 1 live government, and abow that the . Republican party is animated by pre- . cisoiy the same principles that rw ated tho English Tories in their des perate delunso of the rotten borough system in tho election of members of tho House ofCouuiiuus Tho Legislative and Congressional apportionments in Pennsylvania, du-w.-V fo,tK-t.Si ii,rr'i;f.-'i; the session of 1874, immediately alter the adoption of the new Constitution, are the broadest burlesques on repre sentative institutions thit country has ever seen. They were framed to give the fuction that passed them into laws control of the Legislature sad Con gressional delegations, even if the popu lar voto should show them to bo in a minority of 40,000 votes. At the elec tion of 1870 there were cast in round numbers in the Statu 750,00(1 voles, of which tho Republicans bad a maiority of 17,000, and elected seventeen out of tho twenty-seven members of Congress, giving tho Democrats but ten. That is, whon it took but 22,500 Itepublican votes to elect a member of the National Houso of Representatives, 30,050 votes wero rv quisitu to elect a Democratic Congressman, or to put it another way, lour Republican votes counted about tho snmo as soven Democratic votes. This exposes Iho enormity of tho swin dle in the election ol Congressmen. Bat the Legislative apportionment is even worse, and is probably the most artistic bit of political knavery to cheat the people of their rights and seciiro the continuvd ascendancy of a political fuclioi;ilialcoii( iouhlc-Mi w iro pullers ever inrrnUd. Il set the pluin requirements of (he (.'onmiiutioii utile Banco and violated ovt iy principle ol honest dealing. In some respects it was a liicil of thu people's suH'rage ue inlamous as the Returning lion id achievement In Louisiana, and wus carried out wilh a devilish ingenuity that would havo thrown no discredit on the peculiar abilities of Wells and Kullogg. We believe Rulan, Russell Errett and Muckoy wero its architects, and they undoubtedly expect to realize tho full fruit of their bigh handed out rago this coming cession iu the re-election of Don Cameron to the United Status Sonule, although in a direct vote, so odious have thu Cumerons bo come, wo believe ho would bo buried under a hundred thousand majority. Tho election of 1876 was a fuir test of the strength of tho two parlies in tho Slalo at that time, and its results show up tho operations ol tho disiiun chising laws. With but 17,000 majority for Hayes over Tilden, tho Republicans carried tho Legislature by 40 mujority on joint ballot. Grouping tho Senate and Assembly together, wo find thut for every 2,500 Republican votes there there was one Republican returned, whilo it took just 3,700 Democratic votes to secure a Democratic repro sontative. 1 his wus done, of course uy culling up tlislncts and counties in the usual geny mttuderiiig way, as w ell as by such bold and undisguised rus calily as giving Dvlawaro and Lebanon counties, both strongly Republican, with a total voto of but 10,214, two Senators, while Democratic Berks, with 23,620 votes has butoif Senator. Phila delphia was so cut up that with 77,075 Republican votes and 62,110 Demo cratica difference of less than 15,000 voles it returned thirty seven Republi can and nine Democrats ; that Is, it took but 2,000 Republican votes to olect a member of the Legislature, whilo 7,000 Democratic votes wore necessary to return a Democrat. But it was in the Democratic counties ol Luzerne and Schuylkill that the gerry mandering genius of Rutan ncared its sublime height. Luzerne gave Tilden 3,475 majority and Schuylkill 2,757, or total in the two counties of 6,232 in poll of over 50,000 votes ; yet these counties wero so cut and sub divided and patched, and pieced, and cheated, that they returned to the Legislature what does the reader suppose, with their moro than 6,000 Democratic ma jority r w by, fourteen Republicans and five Democrats ; or to put il differ ently, in theso counties 1,500 Republi can votes send a member to Harris- burg, while 5,700 voles are nocossary to olect a DomocraU It is becauso of this scoundrelly schemo of disfranchisement ono that under corluin circumstances would justify and cnnoblo revolution and bloodshed in resistance that tho cor rapt Cameron strikers in Pennsylvania insolently boast of their power to re turn Don Cameron to the United Slates Senate no matter what may be tho popular majority against his party. Yet somolimos we hear these fellows prate of free ballot and intimi dation I We expose them in the vory act of disfranchising a majority of the pooplo of the Slate that their corrupt and debusing rulo may be continued indefinitely. And thcro eoems no means of red rose unless all the peoplo opposed to such inlamous usurpa tions of power, shall combine and set a tidal wavo agoing that will overwhelm the plotters and jobbers by an anti-Cameron Legislature that will send Don Cameron and his trainers and lackers into permanent retirement. Bullies havo been fought and wars waged to cure less oppressive usurpa tions than the swindling apportion ment which hands Pennsylvania over to the Cameron ring." We did intend to refer to some of tho details of the Indiana apportion mentone of Morion's infamies and ol tho New York apportionment, do vised by Conkling and bis follower, but this Pennsylvania sample will do for the present The Indiana and New, York scheme are more criminal in some respects than the Pennsylvania knavery, but in others not so bad. Tbey wore all doviscd to cheat the poo plo and to avert the inevitable reckon ing that awaits the Republican party. JUS WIFE SAVED MM. The Titusville Herald relates tbo following: "How Dummer turned the tablet on Smith in Butler county has been heretofore related in these col umns. Smith had twitted Plummor for fighting a free pipe bill while in the Legislature. Plummor replied that he did move the indefinite postpone ment of the bill, but that he was rep resenting Crawford oounty then, and his constituents remonstrated against it a tending to kill the refining inter ests here and build it up In Baltimore, al out expense. But a luck would have it, lb original petition, or romon trances, wore found by Mrs. Plum mor at hor home In this city. She bas been in the habit of preserving ber hnnband'a letter and writings, he be ing very careless In that respect. Cast ing her eyo over tho remonstrances. whoso numo should she sco there, bold na.lohn Hancock's, but L. II. Smith', hor husband's rival and antagonist. Her woman's u ils told her how to with this damaging document she look the cars and repuircd to Butler, tho scene of the Convention, and the arena of contest. Pluinmer then turned on Smith, showed him up, and turned the tide, won an easy victory and is now the National noinineo for Congress. Plummur denies, however, thut Sena tor Ferlig's namo was on tho remon strance at all. Ho says tho assertion is a manufactured lie. Kerlig refused to give his name aguinst the Free I'ipo bill, and was then its advocate, us ho was last winter when ho introduced tho Freo Pipe bill in tho Sluto Senate. Tbo Bradford Era owes it to tho oil men, nnd to Mr. Fertig as a represen tative of tho oil interest, to retract the calumny inlo which it has been misled. Mr. Pluinmer is not running on Iho same ticket nor same parly as Senator Ferlig, but be docs not wish to seo him calumniated nor misrepresented for all that, for political effect. He re sents the idea that bo started the Bio ry and ever charged that Ferlig's name was altaehed to the remonsli anco against a Free Pipe bill." REFORM JX THE IADAX 1IUREAU. Thut the Bureau of Indian Affairs is fully aware of the magnitude of the task, and of the pi adieu! details neces sary lor ils success, is shown in the report of 1877. Tho immcdiulc steps which Ihe Com missioner advises as essential prelim inaries are, a code of laws for the Indi an reservations, and arrangements by which justitecan be dispensed. These would seem to bo most pressing, since neither ol them exists to-duy. The organization, alto, of an Indian police, composed of Indians under white olTI cei, is proposed, to preserve Older and enforce tho laws. This bas been partially tried, and found a success. In Canada tho system has been found to work w ell. T he Commissioner pro poses also that farms of a convenient sizo should be given tho Indians, iho lilies lo them, inulicnublo for twenty years, being vested in individuals, while at tho same time all possiblo mcuns should be taken for fostering their knowledge of agriculture and a tusto for it. Tho Bureau is also aware of tbo need of a wise economy in the distribution of the supplies furnished, guarding at once against its being wustefuily done, and especially against making paupers of Ihe recipients, by Insisting upon their giving a return of their lubor for what they receive. Tho Bureau is also giving an attention to tbo qnulily ol Iho supplies which this business has not heretofore received ; it advises, also, tho classification of the ugenls, and is supprusing as possible tho abuses of nepotism and jobbery which have crept into tlio service. Tho following circular to tho agents shows that the Bureau is on the right track to reform tho abuses of trade which havo heretofore been the most fertile source of trouble-with the Indi ans : "Agents will notify 'agency traders' that in future, when making purchases from or sales to Indians, money only must be used. The use of tokens, tickets, or Btore orders will not bo permitted. Thoy will also call upon the tradcra to furnish price lists ol the principal article which they may have for sale ; directing that they be made in such stylo a tho agents may indicate as best adapted to be un dcrslood by Indians as well as whites ; and that thoy bo posted conspicuously in such places as may bo selected by the agents, in order that they may be readily consulted at any lime. A copy of such price lists to be forwarded to this onico. Agents aro lurtltor in structed to notify this olllco of any cases in which Indians are charged bighor prices than whites for similar goods." By such practical common-senso moasuros fur the institution ol justico in our relations with the Indians, tho Bu reau of lndiun Affairs is doing a most important work in furthering not only tho civilization of the Indians, but our own.
