ly ill luck in the matter OF retaining

can not be said of his luck in obtain

ship of Montana. If we may judge
from the amount of spread-eagle ora
tory INDUCED in by Mr.. Ashley, he
was in a fsir way of doing something
grand for the territory which had
been placed under his charge. He
proposed to grow up superior race
of men therein, by allowing no emf
grafton !but such as could readily
intermarry with the proud Caucas-
sian who now inhabits that region.
By this means the blood OF the ter.
ritory was to be kept pure. No Chi
nese, nor negro, nor Indian, were to
find habitation In Ashley's domains.
This latter proposition, in connection
with some criticisms pronounced by
Ashley upon the administration, short
ly after his appointment, are suppos.
ed to be the cause Of bic removal.

ARCADIA ITEMS.

Correspondence Jeffersonian.
ARCADIA, o., Dec. 2l go.
EDS. JEFF We cannot but feel
smused at the TRADE in last weeks
Courier, headed, Arcadia p. M.
again." in which the editor of the
Courier vents his spleen in spitting g
out vile anathemas against the author
of the communication from Arcadia,
in reference to the false charge made
by Mr.. Glessner against the post,
master of this place.
1t is very easily to be seen that it
hurts the feelings of the editor of
the Courier very much to have plain
truth told him. The first thing
worthy of notice in the above men,
Toned item, reads thus: "Had the
author stated that he had been in
formed of the statements he makes,
we might have believed that lie was
honest in his assertions" ne will
now enlighten Mr. Glessner On this
point by saying that our infOrmants
were of the best kind imaginable {;
to wit: our own eyes and ears. Con-
sequently We feel assured that the
editor of the Courier will perceive at
once that we had sufficient reason for
making positive assertions and on
0ur own Ie4poiisitiiitt
And again friend Glessner says
''We know that he deliberately lies
iD each and every instance In an
swer to this we will repeat the asser-
ton made, that We know personally,
and not by hearsay, of the truth OF
the statements made by us, and we
will also State that re can not only |
prove by some of Mr.. Glessner's sub
scribers that our statements in refer
ence to the matter in question are
correct, but SO that friend G!essner's
is false. Hence we feel justified in
saying that the editor of the Courier
is liar and ''the truth is not in him"
Mr.. Glessner would have his pat
rons and others believe that he is !
infallible that it is impossible for
him to make mistakes, or ever be in
the wrong. Now we do not claim
30 much for ourselves, but are viii
ling to admit that we, as well as all
others, are liable TO err. And we do
not impute dishonest motives to the
mistakes of others without cause, as
has Mr. Giessner.
We feel satisfied that the first allu-
sion made by Mr.. Giessner in regard
to this post-office affair was made by
him in spirit of malice and meddle-
and that it was entirely un-
and uncalled for. There
fore we do not feel as though we
we're overstepping the bounds OF
oropriety in responding to his re
marks in plsin language.

For the Jeffersonian.
BIGLIcK IT,, HANCOCK Co., Dec. 81.
EDS. JEFF. With your permis.
sion, I wish to expose some of the
wrongs practlced upon friends and
fellow citizens. There is, at this
writing, a citizen of this township,
whose head is whitening for the grave,
in Findlay on a protracted spree of
drunkenness. This has been his
wont for many years, notwithstand
ing the entreaties and resistance of a
kind family and interested friends.
From $50 to 500 are squandered
semiannually in this way. in conse-
quence of which, the family must
forego some of the necessaries of the
household. How great must be the
moral pollution of the man who thus
deals out the destroyer to one who
has not sufficient control of his pas
sions to resist temptation Z? We are
told that the den, which this victim
most frequents, is located not very
far west of the Court House. We
would say to the parties concerned,
that they are not upon terra trina,
and that sooner or later the vengeance
of an outraged family and law will
be visited upon them.
Respectfully,
Dec. 20, 1869. JUSTICE.

The treaty bstween the United
States and China, which has recently
been ratified by the latter power,
guarantees the right of free volunta.
ry emigration of citizens and subjects
from one country to the other, either
for pleasure, trade or permanent res.
idence; also the right to change al.
legiance. At also provides that
Chinese subjects, visiting or residing
in the United States, shall enjoy the
same privileges and immunities as
the citizens or subjects of the most
favored nations. This treaty, we
are happy to state, will put an end
to the inhaman and barbarous re.
strictions placed upon the liberty OF
Chinese emigralts to the Pacific
Coast, as it is not likely the govern.
ment will allow any State or Terrific
~ to keep in vogue law by which
the obligations of treaty with q for
eign power are violated. The class
Legislation which has disgraced the
Statute books of some of our far
Western States and Territories must
be wiped out, or the government
must suffer under the charge of act
ing in bad faith toward the Celestial
Empire.
