A SPEAKER ELECTED

The proracted struggle for the speakeshp brought
to close last evening by the election of Hon N p Banks
Nine iul weeks consumed before this result was at
tained and 1t was finally brought about by the adoption
OF the plurality rule Although it is absolutely certain
that there is majority of the in the House
who agree with Mr. Eanks the sectional questions which
now agtae the country yet it has been demons
again and again. that portion of his political friends
would never agree for him for Speaker and hence
that he could never be elected by a majority vote
As we have remarked the finally Terminated
under the operation of the plurality rule The votes taken
during several days past had indicated that Speaker
could only be chosen by resor,ing that rule There
was a strong repugnance amongst the national
bers to its adoption, especially after the revolt
ing declaration of Mr.. Banks the of superb
oriy in the The southern know-nothing mani
Tested determination against casting their votes for the
democratic nominees not less persistent than their refusal
to vote for Mr. Banks. On Friday however propositions
were made by democrats to which the southern know
nohings Indicated disposition to acrede-the one pro-
posing Mr. Oliver, oldne whg and the other Mr.. Aiken
national democrat for Speaker The votes on these prop
ositons compared with that given the same day
ouon declaring Mr. Banks the Speaker showed so little diff
ference that it exceedingly doubtful what would be the
result upon the adoption of the plurality rule. At this
point Mr. Smith, of Tennessee believing that the
OF Mr. Aiken were at least equal those of Mr. Banks
brought forward a resolution for the plurality rule Mr.
Orr Immediately withdrew uncondirionaly his name as
the democratic nominee and the resolution was adopted
The result was, we have stated the election OF Mr.
Banks BY plurality Of three votesMr Banks receiving
LOB votes, and Mr. Aiken l00--six national Americans
throwing their votes Mr.. Fuller, and -four republicans
throwing theirs Mr.. L. D. Campbell II is apparent
that perfect union Of the national members he four
pubicans voting for Mr. Campbe would have elected Mr.
Aiken by plurality of three Thus has ended the most
extraordinary struggle that has occurred Although
the result is which every national will regret yet
the republicans have known majority in the House
and therefore entitled the Speaker there is
for acquiescng nasmuch it enables the machinery Of
government more to move on.

The Tax upon such of the Foreign Miners
as are incompetent to become Citizens.

a proposition to lcglslate further upon
this subject has produced much discussion of
late and our mountain papers having spoken
we perhaps may be excused for showing in
our oar.
1t is a very difficult question to settle, and
we hope the assembled wisdom" will handle
it carefully. 1t certainly is not the policy of
any State in the Union to admit within its
borders emigrants who are incompetent by
any act or length of residence to become
citizens; but between establishing that as a
rule and suddenly turning those now in our
midst of that class, out of the country there
may be a great difference of opinion,
The agricultural counties do not want
these Asiatcs down on them like swarms of
locusts nor can the mountain counties well
provide substitute at once for the revenues
they have been receiving from this source.
Some of these counties are much in debt.
Placer, we know is. A well regulated gov
ernmcnt will prevent, if possible, sudden
revulsions in its finances: will establish them
upon as firm and interchangeable a basis as
possible. If this is true of a State, it is also
applicable to the subordinate subdivisions of
the State, in which category we place coun-
ties. The withdrawing of this source of
revenue is already being felt, take it away
entirely and you produce panic ruinous to
our credit. Moreover, with our present cum
bersome system of Courts, the current ex
penses must remain much as usual until this
is altered TO reform this we must amend
our Constitution, which will require time
We know the dsease-let us prepare the
antidote.
Place as high capitation tax upon this
class of persons as you please-suticient to
keep any more from coming into the coun-
try But for the present does not policy,
1--WE hate that word), dictate the levying of
such a tax as the creatures can pay, and con-
tinuing it at that rate until we can safely
discard them without injury to ourselves'
We profess no sympathy with these peo-
ple-the first duty Of society is to protect
itself When this is done, then, perhaps, we
may afford to be generous to the poverty
stricken millions of the Celestial Empire.
Most heartily we wish, that not one of these
creatures had found their way upon our soil;
but since they are here some policy must be
used to rid us of them without a shock to
ourselves. So we think!
