gross ignorance or intentional wrong on the
part of the persons whose duty it was to ap
portion the different districts.
We venture TO say tha: there will be more
votes poed in district No. ., than in both of
the others put together. At the election in
September last, that portion of the county
which constitutes District No. poiled opl,,
THIRTY noo sofsS-the portion Of the county
constituting District No. 3, polled only four
hundred and one Bofss-while District No.

one hundred and sepen more than were pollea
in all that port on of the county now com.
prised in Districts No. and No. 3.
The people of Weaverville are Justly ndig-
nant at so unfair division, which only allows
one Supervisor to at least two thirds of the

SALE OF FEMALE CELEsrIALs.-From tbs
Times and Transcript we learn that the no.
tor Gus All Toy, who has been the keeper Of
house of ill-fame in San Francisco for the
last three years, has lately left for China
She brought 10 this country year ago, on
her return from visit. six or eight women,
whom she had purchased at $40 each. Their
passage cost them $50 each. She has from
time to time sold out her stock at the rate Of
81 900 to 81 500 each, to Chinese merchants
and gamblers. On leaving for China, she
disposed of the lot remaining at $500 each.
The Times and Transcript understands from
Mr.. Carvalho, the Chinese interpreter, that
these women dare not resist in these transac-
tons, so much are they in dread Of their tyr.
annical oountrymen.

A Hint to the Fathers of the
Town"

Now that The town If incorporated, and
certain persons have been chosen 10 take
charge Of its affairs, we wish 10 make a sug-
gcstion TO them, which we trust they may
deem worthy Of consideration.
We wish TO call attention 10 the large and
rapidly increasing number Of Chinese among
us, who are continually crowding themselves
into every vacant spot they can find. No soon
er is some old, miserable, clapboard tenement
vacated by white occupant than The owner
receives an offer from a Chnanan Of
monthly rent nearly equal to the value Of the
building, aud Of course, John is Immediately
installed in possession--and twenty, thirty,
and even fifty miserable specimens Of degraded
humanity are forthwith crowded into a space
scarcely capable Of accommodating 4 dozen
individuals Their filthy and disgusting
presence is continually forced upon the OBJ
seryation, and one cannot walk twenty steps
in our streets without beholdng crowd Of
these degraded beings lolng around their
habiations and shocking every sense Of de
cency and morality by their disgusting habits
Now, in the name Of morality, deceney
and good order we call upon the Board o
Trustees TO nbae this Nuisance The safety
Of our town demands it--for, we predict
that, If the Chinese are allowed to remain in
our town as they are at present located, the
summer will not pass by without our witness.
inP, through their instrumentaty, one o
those disastrous con1agratlons which hav,
been so fatal throughout the State, and whicl
wll o0an lay our town in ashes They ar,
extremely careless ia regard TO fire, ano
many Of our c.tzcn- can remember that W,
had several narrow escapes rom this much
to-be-dreaded catastrophe, last summer
when our Chinese population was much
smaller than at present. The prosperity o
our town demands it--for NJ long as indi
vduals can rent the miserable rookeres tha
disgrace our streets, to Cinnamon at such ex
orbitanl rates as they are now receiving
but little improvement can be expected to
70 take place in the character Of the build.
dings Morality demands it-for why should
our senses be shocked by the continual OBJ
trusion Of Asiatic degradation upon our no.
tce. Good order demands it--for scarcel,
day or night passes by without the public
peace being disturbed by their quarrels.
We say then let an ordinance he passed
prohibiting the Chinese from occupying any
premises within certain limits. There is
plenty Of room for them in the immediate
vicinity, without their being allowed to crowd
themselves into our principal streets. 1t
would be better for both us and them if they
were TO have town Of their own. We
would be freed from the annoyance of their
presence and they would be less likely to be
maItreated by that highly intelligent class Of
our community who take the opportunity cf
every drunken frolic, 10 make an exhibition
of their valor by getting into fight with the
Cinnamon

The Nicaragua steamer, Uncle Sam, ar
rived at San Francisco on Friday night, the

Feb. 27, and New Orleans Of March lst.
The Uncle Sam has not made her usual
good time up, on account Of strong nor west

the 7oyage.
The crossing OF the lsthmus was never bet
ter, the nacadamized road is in fine order.
and great plenty Of water in the river. The

immense power and size. Her length is 50
feet, breath % feet, and is capable of carrying
one thousand passengers and their baggage
on draft of only ten inches. This boat and
her consort, which is now on her way out
will be able to run the whole length of tn e
river, at its lowest stages, without any diff
Guilty or danger of getting aground; conse-
quently there will be no detention on the
