Up TO this hour, we are unaware that sim
gle Chinaman has applied for naturalization or
attempted to vote in California, nor has ne
gro ever voted there. Our new treaty with
China expressly stipulates that immigrants
from either country shall not be entitled by it
To naturalization in the other The Chinese
never offer nor seek to vote in California but
they are guilty Of the crime of working. and
even Of working cheaper than some others
will hence the above and kindred eructations
of malignity. If they cannot otherwise be
stopped, it may be necessary to enfranchisc

Comments By The Tribune.
1. The bonds of the United States are not
exempt from Federal taxation. When en-
ployed as the basis of banking or other bust
ness, they are liable also TO State aud local
taxation; otherwise not Chiof-Justice Mar
shall settled this by decision from the bench
of the Supreme Court nearly half a century
ago. We doubt that even One Million of them
are held in Ohio which are not subject to all
manner of taxation.
2. The "claims of the bondholders" were not
nearly all bought with greenbacks" Some
of them antedate the greenbacks; hundreds of |
millions arc held by foreigners who never saw
greenback and know not that such exist
They bought the bonds with coin in open mar
ket, paying therefor the market price. The |
scoundrels who now threaten to repudiate them
on the pretext set up above, hate the bond |
holders because their loans to the Government |
defeated the Rebellion. Gen. Rosecrans ought |
to be ashamed of their company, and we trust |
he is.
g. The "high Protective Tariff" we are told, |
was designed only in the interests of the |
Men. England manufacturers; !" and then its |
enormous lmp0sltlOns on SAT-, sugar. Tea, |
"and Coffee" are especially complained of. !
New-England consumes a great deal more of !
these than Ohio does, yet produces mono of
them, while Salt is largely manufactured in the |
close neghbOrhoOd of Ohio Ohio makes Pig
Iron largely; England makes little of it. |
but buys great deal. 80 she buys |
Coal enormously, paying 81 70 gold per
tun into the Federal Treasury on a |
large proportion of it, while Ohio |
has her Coal from mines on her great river,
which pay nothing to the Government and |
whose prices are scf&ely affected by the
Tariff Ohio grows Wool, which is largely !
protected, and for which our growers receive |
higher prices than any others on earth Now !
England produces very little Wool and buys |
immense quantities, mainly from the West.
The assumption that New England is specially |
favored by the present Tariff is based on
falsehood and upheld by malevolence.
This platform means Reputation" only
that, and nothing more" We shall see how
Ohio relishes ID.
