From the TRANSCRIPT, May 2isf.

We lay before our readers in this issud
the statement Of eleven men,, who have
been imported from Oregon for the pur:
pose Of voting In this territory for Mr..
Gar6e!de. Connected with this transacI
tion is. W. R. Beach of Portland, and j.
A. Perkins, of Walla Wslla, who was d
few days since in this town. other promi-,
rient men in this place and Pierce county
are connected with these yillainous trans
actions, as we will show before The elec-
tion is over. A portion of the men who have
subscribed and made affidavit to these
statements are now in the town of Olym:,
pia, and any ono doubling these statements
can appeal to the men themselves. This
is only small portion of the rascality and
villainy connected with the effort to carry
this election by the Garfeldc faction. We
propose from time to time to show this.

men who have been, democrats all their
lives. for the purpose of voting for Selucius
Garfelde, and thereby pcrpetrates fraud
upon the ballot box, an outrage upon de<
cency. and trample under foot the social
rights Of free people. We appeal to the
masses of the republican party of this ter
ritory; men who have no other purpose to
serve, other than an honest adherence to
principle. to rebuke at the polls, in June
next. this attempt on the part of the lead
ers of the Garfelde faction,. to bring into
disrepute the republican party, by connect
ing with it this villainous outrage upon tho
ballot box. Developments are every day
being made in Oregon, going toshbw That
this importing of democrats from Oregon
to vote for Garfieide is wide, spead. the
magnitude Of which cannot be Immediately
known. but sufficient has been developed
to know that it is a systematic eff6rt kon

and this territory. We call upon such
men as D. r. Bigelow, II. K. Hines. sWs

We charge that they have been perpetrated

gentlemen, denounce and condemn them,
as the merits of the case demand. We are
prepared beforehand to believe that the
leaders Of this faction will undertake, to

The Democratic Platform.

The Democracy of Washington Territory,
through their delegates in Convention assem-
bici do proclaim
|. Tha, we are in favor Of strict economy in
the administration OF affairs, national. Terri
torial and county. and opposed to the reckless
extravaganza which charactCrzcs every de-
rartmcnt of the general Government.
.. We hold that taxation should fall alike
upon all the property aud wealth of the coun-
try aud therefore condemn the policy Of the
party in power, in cxcmpting the property Of
the rich from sharing the burdens imposed
upon tho people, as iniqui,ous and unjust to the
laboring and tax-paying masses.
;. We hold that tariff for the purpose Of
revenue only, aud not for the protection, as
now held by the dominant party, is the only
safe system to secure the prosperity and hap
pncss of the people OF the United States. the
great and wise end OF all just Government :;
and we utterly condemn the policy of the Ra l.
ical party in building mp and fostering priv
iegct class by weighing down and crushing
the people by protective legislation.
1. Wcholi ,ha, the Reconstruction measures
of the p,r,y In power hy which they forced
upon an unwilling people the l4th and 18th
amendments to the Constitution, and in fraud
OF til .ir rights, arc revolutionary and dcspotic !;
and party that would thus violate every
principal of right, law and justice, and disre-
gtrd nli the solemn pledges made to the people,
rs wholly unworthy of support
:. That VIC are willing to pay our national
debt in strict compliance with our contracts
but are unwilling to do more than that, and
condemn the po'icy of the administration,
which is squandering millions OF money by
paying premium on bonds, where it is the
clear right Of the Government to redeem them
atpM.
6. We arc in favor of the Government eA-
tending aid in the obstruction Of the North
Pacific and other railroads in our Territory, as
best calculated to develop the Commercial and
agricultural interests of the country.
Z. We hold that the national honor demands
the prompt enforcement of our claims to San
Juan Island.

New Naturalization Swindle.

Now that the inevitable negro is in,
and entitled to suffrage on the ostensible
ground Of universal justice to universal
man without regard to color or condition,
the efforts to abridge the rights of that
portion of the white race who have gener.
ally voted with the Democrats, has com.
menced. A bill has been reported from
the Judiciary Committee in the House of
Representatives in Congress to so embarass
naturalization, that until after the next
presidential election no foreigner can ex-
pect to secure citizenship. How far this
Know nothing scheme will find favor with
the masses of the radicals VIC do not know,
but of late they have exhibited great
meekness in following every outrage per-
pctrated by their leaders. The tendency
is to place all born in this country includ-
ing the negroes, against all foreign born,
whether naturalized or not
The World comments upon the bill as
follows:
1T will be seen, BY this scheme, no
foreign born person can hereafter receive
a certificate of citizenship who has not, at
a period four years previous, made an ap-
plication in the form and manner pre-.
scribed by the bill. The effect of its pas.
sage will be to annul and cancel every dec
laration of intention heretofore made, but
not yet matured and consumated by the
actual naturalization or the person maj ing
it,
1t will be all the same whether he has
resided in the country one year or five !;
whether he has made the declaration now
required and taken the legal oath or not.
He cannot be naturalzed after the passage
of this bill without making new applica-
tion to different court, in different man
ncr, and then waiting four years for natur-
alization papers that will confer ne rights
until the lapse of a still further period Of
six months. If this unrighteous bill
passes the immigrant who arrived yester-
day and those who have been FIVE years in
the country and made the preliminary
declaration, will stand on precisely the
same footing BY the proposed law, resi-
dence counts for nothing, if it was resi-
dcnce prior to the date of his application
No application is to be regarded unless it
was made to the clerk of United States
court, whereas all previous declarations of
intention have been made to State courts.
BY the new law none of these declarations
of intention could be regarded; and con-
sequcntly. if it passes, there 'ciU be total
interruption Of naturali=ations for four
gears and sir months. This is villianous
scheme for weakening the Democratic
party in the next Presidential election a
desperate maneuver to save the Republi-
can party from its approaching doom. IF
it succeeds, there will be no fresh natural
izations till the middle of the next Presi.
dental term.

SPIRITUAL RUSHwHaCKINc

A girl in San Jose is possessed of q
devil in the shape of a bushwhscker's
ghost. The spirit, on being questioned,
replied, through the mouth of the girl
al was what you call a bushwhacker,
and was killed by this girls father, and,
as l still feel a spirit of revenge against
him, l have taken control of her to
further my designs; have nothing
against the girl, and intend to do her no
harm" Apparently, to convince those
present of his identity, the evil spirit
went on to tell many things which had
happened between himself and the girls
relatives (al of which was true), and
finally told them that there was a letter
on the way to them, giving infOr-
nation of the severe sickness of
a little sister of the girl whom he
was using for his evil purpose. Tho
letter alluded TO arrived in few days con-
firming the truth of what had been fore
told. The relatives of the girl, with
whom she was living, thinking that the
child might be insane, sent her to pri-
waite asylum, in Alameda county, few
days ago, and have learned that she is not
disturbed any longer by the revengeful
monster. The spirit had told them before
that he would leave the girl when she
should be removed from among her
relatives, but he would enter into some
other member of the family. A day OF
so ago letter was received from Missouri,
stating that the father of the girl was
afflicted in a manner which exactly cor.
responds with the former disorder of the
child. The story comes from the partie:
directly connected with the strange affair,
| who are upright, honorable people.

LoNe BRANCH, N. j., Au
RELATIVE BEAUTY OF THE
SEXES.
From Once q Week.


The relative beauty of the sexes is said
to differ considerably in different coun-
tries. French travellers in England have
reported that, as rule, Englishmen are
better-looking specimens Of the human
race divine than English women. To
this opinion our gallantry forbids us to
defer. We, however, will state, also that
these impartial French observers have
said that beautiful English girl is the
most lovely and lovable creature among
created beings. In this opinion we at
once and unreservedly express our entire
concurrence. But of the relations be-
tween male and female beauty in other
countries we can speak more freely. I'm
der the sunny skies Of Italy fine figures
are much more common among the male
than among the female sex. In Northern
Italy this is less remarkable. In France
this state of things is reversed. There,
handsome women are, to handsome men,
as one to six or eight. Among the SHOWS
and frosts of Russia, too, both in regard
to feature and figure, the men are hand
somer than the women. Why is this2 Is
it not because in judging of female hAau-
ty our canons of criticism ash q 81
strict than those we apply b ~ lords
creatiOnl
