77 A,' HEATHEN CHINEE.
Tbo Constitutional Convention of
California ban evolved two radical
tV-
ysi:i. the CMiw; (
Tbo first plan propose the protesta
tion by State authority of all further
immigration of Chinese to Cahloruia.
It is hardly necessary to say that this
proposition is untenable, inasmuch as
it is entirely out of gcarwitb tho Con
stitution ol the United states. The
next plan is scarcely less absurd. It
proposes a system ol State and local
laws calculated to "mako it hot" for
poor John, a salient feature bcing'ifiaf
any citir.cn employing Chinamon shall
be deprived ol tbo right to vote. Tbo
more moderate of the mombers of tho
Convention freely admit that tbeStnto
is w itbout power to prevent or regu
lato Chincso immigration, and, as a
substitute lor impossible measures,
thoy would bavo tbo Celestials dealt
witb under tho police powor of tbe
Stoto after they have mingled with
the people In brief, is is proposed to
deal with tho Chincso as witb paupers,
vagabonds or tramps; namely, to send
thom beyond tho State's torritory.
It has become evident that the pres
ence of the Cbineso is obnoxious to a
majority of tbo citizens of Calilornia.
What is tbo best thing to be done, un
der tbo circumstances, is an extreme-
ly difficult question. It would be in
teresting and profitable to learn what
tbe effect bas boon on Chinese Imml
gration of tbe agitation of tbo question
and tho persecution of the Chinamen
at the bands of tbe San Prancisco
hoodlums. It would seem probable
tbat the causes must bavo materially
lessened immigration. If so, are not
tbo influences named a sufficient check
upon tho encroachments of tbe dread
od bcatbon 1Phi'adelphia Record.
The Legislature. This body is in
full blast, and after the election of its
own officers and that of Don Cumoron
to the United States Senate, tho chief
object of the Houso seems to bo to
hunt up items for taxation. Bills bavo
been introduced to tax crudo oil on
cent per gallon, and coal mined by prl
vato parlies, one cent per ton. Corpor
ations are now charged three cents per
ton. Prom the tact tbat tbo State
Treasury is now bankrupt, and now
moans of raising revenuo must bo de
vised, wo deem tbeso two natural pro
ducts of our State proper subjects for
taxation. It is pretty clear that we
must have moro Stale tax, and it is well
enough that the Legislature has thus
early started out in tho right direction.
If u law is passed taxing oil and coal,
for State purposes, wu have no doubt
that the State authorities will soon
abandon tho tax on horsos and cons,
and transfer the revenuo raised from
hotel licences into the county Treasury,
and in this way mcnsurably release real
cstato.
A Political Cmcini.i. The Wash
ington correspondent of tho Baltimore
Gazette says : "Tho Congressional del
egation that accompanied tho remains
of tho late Julian Ilartridgo to Suvun
null, Georgia, report that some fea
tures of tho funeral were a convincing
argument against tho claim that tbe
negroes of Georgia aro bull doted or
dissatisfied. J bo entire colored rmpn
lution turned out to witness tbe cere
monies and thronged the line of march
to the grave. Tho colored militia,
about 600 strong, mado a special ro
quest to tbe committee of arrange
ments tbat tbey be allowed to par
ticipate. Tbe request was granted
at once and the troops turned out arm
ed and in full uniform and made
splendid appearance." The transpar
ent fact will give tbe manufacturers of
bull-dozing stories some trouble which
thoy will never be ablo to overcome.
Tbo lact is too stubborn.
Poor Not Tray But Quat.
This Radical manipulator is just now
receiving tbo blessings of defeated can
didates at Harrisburg. The Philadcl.
pbians at Harrisburg bavo thoir griev
ance in tho "unslating" of Charles B.
Slater, after Quay had promised bim
the Postmastership of the House, to
mako room for John Siney, the labor
agitator, on the slate. Many of tbe
Pbiladelpbians, as well as the oountry
members, regard tbe appointment of
Siney as a gross political outrage, and
visit all sorts ol dire threats upon the
Recorder s devoted bead. Some of
them oponly talk of bolting the Cam
eron cauens unless they are treated
witb moro consideration in the future.
They complain that Quay bas Inter
fered with everything, even lo the ap
pointment of pages.
Roanoke John. "Old Dominion,"
in Iho Now York World, roscuos from
tho waters of oblivion an anecdote of
John Randolph, of Roanoko, nover be
fore put in typo. Ho was once lying
on a lou n go in an inn in Charlotte
county, Virginia, waiting lor a stago,
when a young dandy, carrying a long
whip, entered the room and began sur
veying himself admiringly in a mirror.
Mr. Randolph, slightly raising his bead
politely aslisd, "Can you toll mo, Sir,
whether the stago has arrived ?" Tho
reply was abrupt and rude : "I know
nothing about the stage; it's none of
my business," or something ol that
sort. "I beg your pardon, Sir," said
Mr. Randolph, resuming bis rocum
bent position. "I thought you were
the driver."
A Queer Radical. Tbe Washing

.V IMPORTANT PECISIO.W
On Iho Oth of January, Hovaco K.
Tay lor, a N'illiamspurt Bunker, was or-
neWcd-tu !b. crjmins.1 intirt if Tv-
doming county on the charge of em
bezzlement. Ho was a private banker
and became insolvent a year ago, leav
iug his creditors in tbo lurch to the ox
lent of JSC, 000. This money bad been
placed in his batik on deposit, for which
he paid a heavy interest. Tbo proso-
cution was brought by the depositors
and the Indictment, which contained
one hundred counts, was drawn under
rtfte act of 18C2. Counsel for the Com
monwealth proposed to provo by do
posilors that they had placed money in
his possession. Defendant's counsel
objected on tho ground tbat be was not
acting In a fiduciary capacity ; that bo
was not a trustee of the depositors, and
that, when tho money passed over tho
counter it became the properly of the
banker, and that he could not bo con
victed of embezzling his own money.
Tbo Common wealth cluimed,in reply,
that this money was deposited with
Taylor as a bunker; that ho was bound
to use it in bis legitimate business as a
banker, and if be usod it otherwise, or
misapplied or misappropriated it, ho
was guilty of the offence charged In
tho indictment. If ho could not bo
tried undor this charge, then there was
no protection to the pcoplu sgainet
private bankers.
Judge Mayer, presiding, ruled tbat
undor the Act of Assembly the evi
dence ol depositors could not bo ad
mitted, when tho District Attorney
entered a not pro., which was admitted
by tho Court,and Taylor was discharg
ed. Tho doeision is regarded as a very
important one, and will go lur toward
destroying tho confidence of the people
in private banking institutions.
A 110LD KOBDERY. Ino 1OWtsburg
Journal of last week says: "Last eve
ning, about seven o'clock, four men
suddenly opened the door of Mr. Dan
iel Miller's residence in Kast Buffalo
township, Union county, near Lochiol,
and one o) them grabbed Mr. Miller
by tbo throat and pointed a pistol at
him, threatening to kill him if he open
ed bis mouth. Ho was then tied, his
wifo also, and tho Uttlo boy pacified
with a couplo pennies, and all taken up
stairs to bed. Tho hired girl arrived
soon afterwards and was also treated
the samo way. Tho parties thon ran
sacked tho houso from collar lo garret.
Fifteen dollars in money was then
takon from Miller's pockets, and his
best suit of clothes carried away. Tho
villains left about nine o'clock. After
they had gone Mr. Miller seen red a
kmlu and cut himself loose. The men
walked through the toll gatp and must
have passed through town. They were
scon hero Tuesday. No arrests bavo
yet been mado, and no efforts that wo
know of are making for their arrest.
Shut Km in Trouble. Ben Butler
is in a small amount of trouble again.
Ho is ono of Iho Govornors of tho Na
tional Soldiers' Asylum, at Hampton,
Vo , of which Mr. Woodfin ia Manuger.
Charges hare been filed with the Sec
retary of War by a disabled volunteer
officer, now an inmate of tbe Homo, tc
the effect that Woodfin is guilty of i
legal exponuiluros winch are concealed
undor false vouchers and is carrying on
a general system of peculation, witb
Butlor as a sort of corparcencr. Tho
excellent reputation which Mr. Butler
has heretofore hold is a completo de
fenee against the base insinuations of
Ibis mangled officer and the publio is
respectfully requested to suspend its
opinion. Meanwhile General Banning,
of the House Military Committee, bas
sent sub committee to Hampton to
make a thorough investigation of the
charge.
Wratby. Wo learn that tho Jour
nal localist gave our School Directors
a good trouncing, ono night during tho
week ol prayer, for their management
of our schools, and be throw a hand
grenado at the Board last wook in this
: "Thero wore many people
wbo were not aware, until tbe matter
received some attention during the
weok of prayor, that tbo Biblo was not
used in our public schools, and there
aro, perhaps, many others who will
hoar it for the first lime whon they
read Ibis item. We will try and not
let them forget it." A groat many
porsons treat our school system as they
do religion. Tbey are always dubat
ing and quarreling about tbo non
essential features, while thoy omit the
weightier matters. It was just so
with the Scribes and Pharisees of old,
and we shall not try to cure this gen
oration. Tbe Rioht way. Tbe Baltimore
Sun slates that the Slate of Georgia
exempts from tho taxation for ten yeara
all capital Invested In tbe manufacture
of cotton, whether in buildings for mill
purposes, machinery or land purchased
for tho uses of such manufacture. Geor
gia cotton manufacturers, it is known,
aro quite flourishing, and employ pro
fitably a good numhjr of pcnplo at cer
tain towns. Tho cotton raiser should
long sinco have learned that the right
place to manufacture cotton goods, was
where the cotton grows, instead pf
shipping the raw material to Now
England and making them rich and
eaucy. However, ibis is tho some plan
persucd by tho owners of pine trees
who send them off lo be manufactured
elsewhere.
The True Cai'se. A cotomporany
statos that it is intimated in adminis
tration circles that Hayes, in order to
rebuke Senator Gordon, will turn his
man, Pitasimmons, out of the office ol
United States Marshal of Georgia and
promote General Longstreet from tbe
position of Postmaster at Gainsvillo to
that of Marshal. We bone this is true.
We are always glad to have the Re
publican party demonstrate that its
hostility to tbe people of tbe South is
not bssod on tbeir participation in the
rebellion, but it is due entirely to tbeir
refusal to vote tho Republican ticket.
AxoTntR Foot Discovered. An

ly because a public building is lo be

A New Pension Bill "Tho Con
federate Brigadiers" have pusscd a
bill through Congress which will add
not less than ticcnty millions of dollars
to tbo invalid soldiers. It is a bill to
pay tho arrears of pensions of soldiers
who served In tho lato war. It pro
vides that all pensions ahull dato from
tho time of the death or disihargo of
tho person to whom tho pension wns
granted, instead of from, tlio date ol

Apostle of fiat money, has been ongug

Bob Ingersoll's assault upon tho book
keeping system in vogue in the dnyB

LETTER FROM CHEST TO W'N- j 110 IP A CONGRESSIONAL CON
Mill: TEST IS CONDUCTED.
Mil. Editor: In 0110 ol your latel Tho iditor of thu Bellefonle Watch
issues there uppoured a paragraph ask-1 101 11 euys :
ii'.tii know whv "me 'people regret I To satisfy numerous inquiries as to
ted tho ttufcut of A. G. Curlui more i t iio morfm ope fandi io o ptoiJTiTiflP
than thu tleleul ol A. II. Dill, there
is something of u dillerem-o in my
mind which 1 will try 10 explain.
In tho Hot place wo are accustomed
lo detent for Governor, und it does not
operate on our sensibility so greul ;
and in tho second place, most of us
wero prepared for it hefbru it took
place. Tho material to detent bim hud
been furnished Hie opposition by news
papers acting with the Democratic
party belbru be wits nominated. (The
opposition took ull tlio advantage and
would have been lools if tuey had not
done so.) Then this opposition job
bery brought every speculator to thu
stirlace, no difference what his politics
hud been heretofore Democrat, Ro
publican, Greenback or Grnyhack
Tbey used their influence against him,
and when you look seurehingly into
all tho means brought out to defeat
him, you must say that ho mado a
great rim.
In Governor C'urtin's case, il is dil
I'erent. The district is ono of thu
strongest in tho Slate, anil it is the
first time wo have been defeated, or
rather sold out, by that very little man
ol very little principles of 110 heart
ut all, and not even a respectuble giz
zard something like a bats wing, who
edits a very llltlo newspaper with very
littlo Democracy in it, yet, ho got bis
lutlo mad up because be did not gel
tho nomination.
I did not know of anybody in par
ticular only himself thut wanted bim
to bavo tho naminatiun.
Well, perhaps the 30,000 or moro
voters in the district should have suc
cumbed to his littlo whim and saved
his expense of purchasing a very lurgo
bucket, and hiring mighty men to
throw mud on tho successful nominee.
Tho alphabet refuses Its letters to
form words for mo to sufficiently
denounco the courso this miserable lit
lie oditor pursued. Governor Curtin
is a man of unusual talent, and has no
superior in the Slate, and very few
equals. His dofeut is not only a
loss to tbo XX. Congressional district,
but to the nation. His great ability
and knowledge of the wrongs commit
ted and to be committed, mado his
election ut this timo one of more than
ordinary interest to the tax-ridden
people of tho United Stales.
Whon I look at the means used by
tho Republicans, charging him with
being tho menus of sending the sol
diem lo Clearfield during tho rebellion,
and having many of our citizens ar
rested, it wns a trick likely to win,
and all that becumotothe Democratic
parly for, was to get to Congress,
Muny other appeals to tho passions of
thu people, and tho little oditor help
ing thom along tho very boil he could
In his little press ho got up a little
pledge asking the Governor to give
him a written guarantee lor his future
conduct if elected.
As it was not the practice ot tho
Democrats to pledgo their nominees,
ol course tho Governor paid no alien
lion lo it, which caused tho editor to
wax wrolhy. And ii"t much wonder,
when hu hud taken upon himself thu
responsibility of six counties, and his
nolo treated coniemptously by tho
man that run away with his nomina
tion. There were other editors that
were weak enough to sympathize with
tho little man, which encouraged him
greatly in his wcu k of treachery. His
Iriends wero not plenty in this district
before tho election, and they huvo
grown beautifully less sinco, and he
bad better omigruto lo Blair county,
whuru ho got his support bel'oro the
nomination. The Democratic parly is
doomed lo defeat in this Stato just so
lung- as iho people listen lo, nmj are
led by, a l"t of editors who tuko a de
light in ubusing every man brought
before tho party tor tho nomination
for oflieo Slato or county unless
they happen to suit their taste. This
thing ol abusing candidates is all
wrong. It creates a bad feeling in our
own party, and furnishes tlio opposi
tion with campaign mateiiul. Why
not let tho opposition do tlio abusing,
und you will have a much nicer lime
of defending tho nominees.
lbero is but little danger or tho
Democrats putting unworthy mon in
nomination, becauso they nearly all
lell us during tho war and went over
to Iho opposition, and have been pro
vided witb placo and power, living in
princely stylo, and hftyo mado thoir
millions out of tho blood ol their Iel
low man, who has been moro unfortu
nate tbuu tbey,
Why not drop this foolish idea of
abusing a member ot tho party until
no columns somo crime ugulnsl our
party laws, or violates bit trust to tho
injury of tho people, or somo act wor
thy of condemnation?
Iho conduct of certain editors be
fore tho Krio Convention, in 1875, in
ubusing Senator Wallucc, and all the
candidates that they supposed ho fa
vorad, amounted to a defeat of tho
nominee uf thut Convention. Tuey
wore good men, and well Qualified to
fill any position in the Slato with honor.
Thousands of Democrats becamo dis
gusted with tho showing up of Demo-
ruts that tbo people had heretofore
considered honest. Theao churges in
duo time proved lalso, but the work
was dono and tho parly defeated, If
thut miserable furcs hud never occur
red, tho Democrats would bo in pow er
both in Ihe Suite and United Stales to
day. That kind ol work discouraged
Democrats who had been fighting cor
ruption, and il kept thousands of Ro
publicans from following tbo lead ol
Curtin. Republicans haro asked mo,
"what are wo to gain by giving up ono
corrupt party and go into another
equally as corrupt, which must bo so
if the Democratic papers are to bo re
lied on." (Sound logic thut,) If we
do not soon begin to act manly, wiso
ly and Judiciously, and drop this curded
selfishness, wo may bang our harp on
the willows forovor. It is the cussed
ness in our own party that is destroy
ing us. This thing of being counted
out bas had its day, and there must be
something dono lo satisfy the people,
They ere getting lired ol following va
pors, If the illegul voting In Curlin'e
ease is dropped, 11 will send recruits to
the Grecnbackors. It is the want of
proper energy by our leaders that
is helping to depleto our ranks. Some
of tho best Democrats in tho Green
back party left us on account of Til
den not taking his Boat, or making an
ollort to do so. A weak Genoral is
seldom successful. Sufficient for the
present Yours, kc, Chest.

time allowed both pal ties for taking

Of those ninely days, tho conteslunl

A Bah Pardon Case. A Washing
tun letter writer cites the following pe
culiar case, now agitating tho residents
of the Capital city: "An interesting
subject is bel'oro the courts ol this dis
trict in the cane of M rs. Huzle, who has
petitioned for a writ of hitbcus corpus
to obtain Iho luwly of her daughter.
Hosa O'Brien. The petitioner was for
merly tho wile of Chuiles II. O'Brien,
a policeman, who, resenting an alleg
ed insult to bis wife at a picnic in this
locality about six years ago, shot and
killed Iho person who offended him.
For this O'Brien was tried, convicted
of murder and sentenced to bo hanged.
A commutation ol the sentence to im
prisonment lor lilo was, however, 1 b
tuincd, and recently the prisoner was
pardoned by President Hayes. In th
meantime Mrs. O'Brien, acting under
tho belief that the lilo sentence of her
husband legally mado her a widow, re
married. O'Brien bus obtulnod tho
custody of their daughter, and refuses
to allow her to remain with Mia. Huzle.
Tho point of law in this caso not only
involves tho right of possession of tho
child, but brings under consideration
tho question of Iho Validity of tho sec
ond marriage. Tho writ is returnable
on Saturday, when arguments upon
theso points will be presented."
