UNDERSTANDS IT George H.
Pendleton evidently understands the
Chinese question. 10 recent speech
at Clifton Springs. Ohio, he said
But the Chinese will give us cheap
labor! Cheap human labor, l deso
pise the word. 1t signifies crime
and q shame. 1t signifies squalor,
degradation, ignorance, vice. Are
not laborers men, our fellow-men +?
They have bodies to clothe and stom-
aches to feed, and minds to educate,
snd spirits to elevate, and old age to
provide for. They have homes which
they love, and wives whom they cher.
ish, and children whom they hope to
make worthy citizens-the honest
fathers and virtuous mothers Of a
succeeding generation. And can you
remember these duties and see these
aspirations; can you contemplate the
patient hopefulness of cheerful aud
contented, because fairly compensa-
ted, industry, and talk of cheap la
Dor 4? Labor is too cheap now. Labor
does not receive its just reward. This
country needs skilled lsbOrers, and
honest intelligent, unfagging, zeal
GUS industry; it needs that such labor
shall not be cheap, but that it shall
be most beautifully rewarded.

During the recent speculation in

lished the following remarkable stale
ment concerning the spectators and
the President's brother>iu-law:
"They not only buited gold with
a will, but talked freely Of the war.

ton that the Government would not
interfere with them. The highest
official 10 the land was quoted as be-
ing with them, aud he, Of course,
controls the action of the Secretary
of the Treasury aud the New York
Assistant Treasurer. Although this
must have been known to be false,
there were abundant rumors and sus.
picions insidiously spread around the
street to create the belief or fear
with good men that the Admins
tration would not interpose BY fur.
ther sales of gold from the Treasury,
or extra purchase of United States
5>2Os in exchange for gold. Among
these rumors was one that the Gould
Fisk party we're about to secure the
services and influence of Mr.. Corbin,
(ihe brorher>in law of the President)
as President of the Tenth National
Bank, which they have recently pur-
chased, in connection with Messrs.
Tweed and Sweeney. The conside.
ration was to be $4,000 per annum
equal to President Grants salary.
This was too monstrous for serious
belief We have reason to know it
is wholly ont of the chapter of prob
abilities with Mr.. Corbin HIMSELF"
1t is a very interesting fact that
when the editor of the Times asked
the Presidents brother in n.law-who
is an old speculator-whether the re.
port was true that he was about to
give his services and his "infuence"
with the President TO the gold spec
ulators for 5000 a year, Mr.. Corr
bin would not venture any more pos
tive contradiction than that such an
arrangement was improbable.
No one who read this statement
of the Times could entertain any
doubt that such a proposition had
really been made and entertained.
After all, what room is there left
for Gen. Grant to do anything which
shall create surprise. seeing that he
has appropriated the highest Offices
under the Government, openly and
without any attempt at disguise, as
the consideration and return for PEI
cuniary favors which he had re
ceived ? If any one is disposed to
say that the Sun is unjust 10 Gen.
Grant, we wish every such person
would write Us a letter expressing his
honest opinion whether Gen. Grant
was right or wrong in appointing
men as Cabinet Ministers because
they had given him money. Will
any man sigu his name to a state
ment that he thinks it was right =?
And if it was wrong, will any one
say that it is not right for us to say

SPECIAL TERM-A bill has been
introduced 10 the House, providing
for a special term of the District
Court for Walla Walla county, to
dispose of the cases that we're con-
tinued on account Of the absence of
certain attorneys. tits proposed to
hold the term in the month Of De-
cember-a very bad season for farm
ers to leave their homes, and at a
time when it will be difficult to Sc.

nesses, or jurors. The continued
cases are few in number, and none
of them of special importance, uu<
less it be the case of Gholson, who is
now confined in Jail oU the charge Of
murder. To hold the special term
of Court will involve the county in
the expense, ate moderate estimate,
of $4,000, every dollar of which
will have to be wrung from the pock-
cts of taxpayers, and all this with
out any actual necessity. The mem.
bers from this county should under>
stand that they are expected in ev'
cry possible way to reduce the pub>
lie expenditures, aud any measure
that tends to increase the burden of
taxation under which the people
now groan, will be in the last de-
gree unpopular. .

CHARGED WITH DEsERTIoN.-
Letters and papers received from
Olympia, charge j. M. Vansyckle,
Joint Councilman from this county,
with having deserted to the radicals.
One of the parties who. makes this
charge, himself gave "aid and COM
fort" to Garfelde during the last
campaign, and hence We are dis
posed to place but little reliance
upon a charge coming from such a
source. In due time we expect to
hear from Mr.. Vausyckle, and if it
shall then appear that he has be-
trayed the party, we shall not have a
word to utter in extenuation Of bis
treason. In the meantime we are
not prepared to condemn him un'
heard.

TEXAS CATTLE.-We notice by
our Idaho exchanges that large
bands of Texas cattle are being driv>
en- into the upper country, and that
as a general thing they come through
in good condition. We trust that
with these cattle we may escape a
visitation of the disease that has
decimated the herds in Iowa, ILL.,
inois, and nearly all the Northwest. d.
eru States. A writet in the monthly
report issued from the Agricultural
Department at Washington, states
that the Texas cattle have the PEE
culiarity of communicating disease
to other herds, notwithstanding they
may appear to be entirely free from
disease themselves. We mention
this fact for the information of stock
owners, to the end that they may be
careful how they introduce the Texas
cattle among the native herds. As
far as possible it would be well to
avoid the contamination which every
where else has followed contact with
the Texas cattle.

AND ILLTHEY CoME.-A MEM
Der of the Dent family has turned up

deemed sacrilege to leave a man who
claims kin to Grant without an Office.

Badly Ross blacked Grants boots at
Vancouver, and on the score of this
service we think the radicals should
throw the hungry dog a bone.

anxiOusly inquiring what to do? As
the old Sbylock is without friends,
we will volunteer some wholesome
advice. In the first place, let him
make restitution to the peddler he
robbed, and then in some way COM
pensate the poor widow for her land

the question of "taking the old sim

December. Since Grant, Sherman
Candy, Attorney General Hoar, and
other dictators in this republican gov
ernmeut, have expressed the opinion
that the people of Virginia may now
proceed with the election of United

The pleasure Of pleasing is one Of those
delightful attributes that does not fall
to the nany-it certainly is not distrib.
uted brcsdeast-and most decidedly
should ever be cherished aud fostered
when presented in connection with ster-
ling and literary merit. Mr.. George

first time in walla waila, 10 y gentle>

rounded with light, with his book serv-
iug as negative prompter, and gave
bis variety OF illustrations combined in
that portion Of Nicholas -Hickleby that
relates to that young gentleman's expe>
rieuces at Dotheboys' Hall. 1t was a
decided success, and eviuced the thor>
ough efficiency Of the artist in bis de.
lineation of character. He entered on
his subject with that pleasing grace and
bOnhommie which placed him at once at
home with bis audience, and as be
warmed with his subject the hearts of
lis hearers sympathized with him in his
variety of descriptions, either Aumor>
Gus or pathetic. Mr.. and Mrs. Sgusers,
Mss Fannie Squeers, Miss Matilda Price,
with the Yorkshiremsn, John BrOtcdie;
were clear and admirable portraitures'
while the identity of the poor hoy Smike
was so well illustrated that the hearts
of many melted at the poor boys mis-
fortunes; and as the story eliminated,
the pleasure of the audience was inten-
sifed as punishment fell on his heartless
prosecutors. "Boots at the Holly Tree
Inn" was a gem in its way, and thor
ough novelty in both plot and mode Of
treatment. We are happy to chronicle
the fact that such entertainments as
these are good and wholesome to a
community, and serve to humanize and
improve the public taste in general, par
ticulsrly when they are blended and
presented with those positive and deI
cided advantages which Mr.. George
Pauncefort evlnces in connection with
his subject. We do not know whether
he will again favor us, but we hope he
will. He visits Lewiston, where we

says the negro question will not long

where they are, they will soon. by
all the laws of nature, pass under

white race, and, if they 60 away,
that will be the last of them. Wheth-
er they stay or go, they will 10
