NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The Times special
says of the claims of American creditors
upon the Russian Government, that COM
mon rifles and powder were purchased by
a Russian ordnance officer and put on ship
board when the Crimean war was brought
to close. Ultimate payment was refused
by the Russian Government, on the ground
that written contract was not entered into.
The evidence thus far elected by the Ord
nance Investigation committee includes
many startling facts regarding frauds in
contracts to supply the Government with
arms and ammunition. The report of the
committee will not be ready for several
months. "a q S@A -

MANLY, HONORABLE AND PArRIoTIc.-Iu MOTTO
ing the withdrawal of Brooks and Bausman from
the editorial department of the San Francisco
Times, because their sentiments were not in har-
mony with those of the proprietors, the american
Flag said =" 1t was manly, honorable and pat
riotic; and if in the case of either, others very
near and dear were deprived of comfortable
income, the act partook of certain heroism,
which will command the respect and procure the
sympathy of all good men and women 1t is
easy enough to talk of principles, when words
cost nothing and bring no disastrous conse-
quences but when poor journalist, not know
ing what he is to do next, voluntarily resigns a
lucrative situation rather than write against the
grain of his conscience-why that is principle it.

been made here for celebrating the approaching

Francisco, and candidate for Governor, sent a
letter to the anti-Coole Club of that city which
does credit to his heart, and which speaks the
sentiments of undoubted lover of universal
freedom and full and free toleraton. The fol-
lowing extracts from the letter entirely meet our
own views in the matter &c AS question of
policy, am equally opposed to your movement.
1t is certain that the millions in Asia will, Mt no
distant day. learn to consume products of our
own country. Imagine, it you can, single
ticle of American production which, if it should
come into general use in China, would not give
employment to greater number of our own race
here than the whole immigration of Chinese can
amount to for years. As we treat strangers in
our land. so will our countrymen be treated in
the land whence those strangers came We
bought commercial intercourse with China and
Japan. Now that we have succeeded in break
ing down the China wall, let US not hasten to
erect an ant-Chinese wall at home. The ques-
tion of cheap labor l will not here discuss but
it seems certain to me that if we could have it in
abundance, the State would go forward at such
strides as would make prosperity general among
all deserving classes. In conclusion
let me suggest that the Chinese now in our
midst and those who may come hereafter, must
either work, steal, beg or starve. 1t would be
difficult to make argument to show that the
creation of SO large number of street beggars
or of thieves, would be compensated by the fact
that none but men of the European race were
permitted to earn livelihood in California. As
to starvation, the mere word makes me shudder
So, after all, beg or starye, he must be allowed
to work"

MISSING MAN.-As will be noticed by n card
published to-day, Christian Wolsky, an old resi-
dent of Canyon creek, has been missing since
the 10Th of last month. Wolsky is subject to
attacks of temporary arrangement, and his
many friends have searched faithfully for him
during the past week without success, it is fear
ed that he has either perished in the mountains
or been drowned while laboring under one of
these attacks. If still living and this notice
should meet the eye of any one who has know
ledge of the whereabouts of a person answering
the description published, the intelligence will
be thankfully received by the friends mentioned
in the advertisement.

ANOTHER "ISrERvIEw" NEcEssARY.-Thcl latest
dispatches from Salt Lake announce renewed
Indian outrages east of that point. They have
destroyed the telegraph for a great distance,
killed operators and stage drivers, stolen stock,
and committed every imaginable outrage. 1t is
safe to predict that this state of affairs is far
from being at an end in fact, as has been re-
marked by some observant writer well posted in
regard to the condition of things, there is little
hope for a termination of these troubles until
the Indians are driven back by the advance of
the Pacific Railroad, and the consequent filling
up of the now scourged country by permanent
settlers. That they must and will give way be-
fore the advance of civilization is as certain as
the rising and setting of the sun. Thousands of
troops have been sent to the Plains at an enorm-
Gus expense, but their presence seems not to
deter the commission of outrages. Hancock has
had numerous interviews with the red men, but
as yet his large and well-discipined command
| seems to have avoided any show of bloodshed.
