Coop CHINESE TALK.-The trustees of the six
Chinese companies in San Francisco have mem
oralized Governor Haight to use his influence in
preventing Chinese women from being brought
into the State for the purpose of prostitution
The memorial goes in this nicely-worded
style -" We find, also, that you are opposed to
slavery and the sale of men, and that severe and
stringent laws were passed prohibiting the same
The virtues of your eminent nation are full and
complete. Since the sale of men is severely pro-
hibited by law, why not, then, we ask, that the
rule be applied to those who bring women for
sale to this country, and that for purposes of
posttution"

VAGUE. The California Express, reviewing
the past and present of the new Board of Tide
Land Commissioners says of one of its members:
''B. F. Washington, was quiet and peace
able gentleman, of Democratic antecedents, who
attended to his home business, in retired posi-
tion in one of our northern counties, until some
time after the war was over, when he became
editor of the San Francisco Examiner"

been better understood up this way had it read

Nor NECESSARY TO HAVE AN ORATOR PREsI-
DESr.-The Dramatic Chronicle mentions the fact
in connection with Grants indisposition to talk
much, that neither Scott, Harrison or Taylor
were orators, and cites the further fact as re-
lated by Irving, that when the Virginia Legisla-
ture had voted a sword to Washington, and the
presentation been duly made, the Father Of
his country" was so embarrassed that he sat
down with face as red as a turkey cocks, with
out saying word. We need quiet, thinking
President, and Grant is the man.

To THE TRUcKEE.-The Pacific Railroad is COM
pleted to Reno, 154 miles from Sacramento.
From thence to the north end Of Salt Lake the
distance is 497 miles. The Bee says these 500
miles across the desert will be made in a-quarter
the time that the l54 were, so that by next sum-
mer or fall there will be one continuous rail op-
Grated from San Francisco to the capital of Utah.
By that time the Union Pacific Company will be
ready to link on. to the Central Pacific, and the
line will be extended to ST. Louis, Chicago, and
New York. Thus the hopes and desires of all
Calfornians are about to be realized.

POPULAR SUPERINTENDENT The Shasta

appointed Superintendent of the Crown Point

amount as Superintendent of the Kentuck mine,

ward Hon. Chancellor Hartson.-Solano Herald.
We acknowledge dislike TO reproducing such
vapue and indelicate charges as above given by
" common rumor" through the columns of the
Herald. We ehardly think such charges judicious
at this time. Mr.. Westmorelard has friends.
and we see no good reason why they should be
gagged We waited long, and until perfectly
satisfied what the feeling of the Union party
in this portion of the District was, before max
ing any reference to Congressional matters. We
waited long enough to be satisfied that the Un-
ionists OF this county, who gave Mr.. Harrison
handsome majority last year, were almost unit
in favor of Hon. Charles Westmoreland And
we have abundant good evidence at hand (if ev-
idence is good for anythng) to satisfy us that
the same warm feeling prevailed in Mr.. West
moreland's behalf in Shasta, Tehama and Siski-
you. Mr.. Harrison is resident of Napa West
moreland of Humboldt. Is it not as honest and
proper for the Bipartisan papers ~ of Siskiyou,
Trinity, Shasta and Tehama to declare their pref
erence for Westmoreland, as for those of Solano,
Sonoma, Marin and Men ndocinot to declare for Hart
son? Every Union paper in the District, under
the Heralds rule, is bipartisan now. So far
as Mr.. Westmoreland is concerned, no -" pipe
laying and log-rolling is Necessary in this or
the adjacent counties. The Union men of these
counties admire him for his ardent, out-spoken
sentiments both as worker in the ranks and as
representative, and believe him the representa-
tive man of the party in the Sd District. The
opinion is deep-seated in our mind that the Dis
trct Convention is the proper place to settle this
matter, and that further elimination and re-
elimination should be avoided if possible

LocATED.-The Branch State Prison has been

land, together with the timber, quarries, and
first fall of the water-power, which will be about

in time will be invaluable to her in connection
with prison affairs. For the purposes intended
there is no such valuable property in this State
as the $50 acres referred to-

CoNGRrssIoSAI.-We have read certain articles

CoNGRfss1oSAL.-We have read certain articles
recently published in the Solano Herald, Vallejo
Recorder and other journals, advocating the
claims of Mr.. Harrison for Congress, which tend
to create an unfavorable impression of Hon.
Charles Westmoreland in the minds of the peo-
pie. Without intending to impute any inten-
tional unfairness 10 the statements referred to,
we think them entirely too indefinite to be en-
titled 10 weight. Farther, we think the conclu-
sions attempted to be drawn not warranted by
the facts. Believing that he is the most avail
able candidate, and the preference of decided
majority of the party in this District we deem it
simply an act of justice towards Mr.. Westmore-
land to give place to the following facts copied
from the Shasta Courier:
" The Mendocino Herald and Vallejo Re
corder have called attention TO the fact that
Harrison received sixty odd more votes in Hum
boldt county, at the last election, than West
moreland, and proceed to argue that this cir
cumstance shows that Harrison would make the
strongest race for Congress, in case be received
the nomination. We think these conclusions
unwarranted aud unfair. Before and after West
moreland was nominated for the Assembly, he
openly declared his intention, if elected, to pre-
fer articles of impeachment against Judge
Turner, which he did, compelling that official to
resign in order to escape the disgrace of re-
moval During the canvass, matter of
course Turner and his friends did all they posi-
bly, could to defeat Westmoreland and succeeded
in depriving him of sixty odd votes, perhaps
more, in the county. Westmoreland, if nomin-
ated, would make more popular race in this
district than any other man yet mentioned for
the position. He is the undoubted choice of a

objections that have been offered against him
have evidently emanated from the overzealous
partizans of rival aspirants, and do not reflect
