DEATH OF HON. ANsoN BuRI1saAHE

The startling intelligence comes BY
cable from London of the death, At St.
Petersburg, Russia, on the morning Of
the 23d inst. of Hon. Arson Burlingame
Envoy Extraordinary Of the Chinese
Empire. His disease is reported as con
ees,iou of the lungs. The deceased was
born in New York in 1922, was reared
in Michigan, studied law at Harvard
school and. settling as a lawyer in Bos-
ton. was elected from there three times
to Congress. Just after the Gaming of
Sumner by Preston Brooks, Burlingame
figured as one Of the principals in a
mooted duel with that notorious South
Carolinian, Burlinea me proposing to 6ghl
with rifles in Canada. Brooks declined
those terms and in commenting upon
his exhibition of "discretion," Prentice
Of the Louisville Journal made an apt
quotation from Shakspeare's "As You
Like 1t" by applying to him the signif-

appointed Burlingame Minister to Aus
tria and subsequently TO China. The
extraordinary distinction conferred upon
him by the Chinese government is famil- |
iarly known to all. His fame has since
become world wide. He was a man of
much tact and energy and more than
average talent. His father and at least
two of his brothers are old residents of
California the father and youngest Of
tie three brothers being well known as
Former residents of Marysville; and the

The reverend gentleman is rather a consci-
entious man, and deals with facts soberly
and in the most earnest manner, doing his
plain duty as he understands it under all cir
cumstances. Being in the Senate Chamber
at the opening of the morning session, he
was requested by the President to open the
proceedings with a prayer, which he did,
with eyes closed-whether forgetting the
place he was in or the people surrounding
him, We cannot say-in the following man
ner:
"Oh. Lord, We pray Thee that Thy mercies
may be extended to these poor men, who
have been sent here from all parts of the
State convicted of various crimes and INSIDE

seech Thee, while they are here serving out

when they have served and are dismissed
from these walls. may they return to their
homes better men, and in time may they be-

name and through the merits of Christ, our
Redeemer. Amen"

can be better imagined than described.

SYNOPSIS OF LATEST NEWS.

The Rev. Cook, whose elopemcnt with
Miss johnson created so much scandal, on
the 18th inst. returned to New York city
and was arrested and said that the girl
was at the Everett House, which proved
to bo true. He has been taken home, and
pretends to be insane. While in the hands
of the police last night Cook advanced
the extraordinary theory that the press,
in noticing his elopement, was animated
solely with desire to attack the Chris
tian religion, and particularly the church
of which he was q member 1t was as
certained that Cook returned to this city
yesterday from his excursion, and sent
Miss johnson to her parents. He then
went homo and brandished pistol and
frightened his family. His friends IN
duced him to give up the weapon before
he did any injury. He then wandered
down town, until he came across news
paper reporter, whom he proceeded at
once to immediate. The friends of Miss
johnson are satisfied that the young lady
had returned from her enforced tour as
pure as she went away. Cook has pub.
lished a pious appeal in the Tribune this
morning, to the end that the press may

The Marysyille Appeal, which de-
serves to be considered as one of the
ablest, as it is one of the most Jealous
Republican papers upon the coast, is
not pleased with Senator Williams
China bill. The appeal evidently hes
the Senator's measure With tolerable
exactness. It does not mistake cley-
erness Tor craftsmanship. It seems to
understand-what everybody ought to
know-that the Senator is demagogE-
ing on the Chinese question, and it
does not sufficiently feel the pressure
OF party exigency TO refrain from
talking cut" There is o great deal
signifed in the way it puts the matter:
'1t will beseen that Senator Williams, By bis
bill, proposes to prohibit Ghinege immigration bg
consraes-that Is, Cinnamon or China woman may
land ct San Francisco siDgly, but II they come
pairs they can be stopped and the shippers held
Tor heavy fines. Should this bill pass, We might
contract for one thousand Chinese laborers, but
they could not land but ono ct time. The queG-
ton arises would this be treating the Chinese goY-
ernmert as other foreign governments are treated
Would it be keeping our treaty stipulasions2 Can
not We contract in Germany or Russia for 1000
laborers, and ship them in one vessel1 It will be
seen that Senator Cole does not agree with the

President Grant has delivered an
opinion upon the tariff. The telegraph
reports him thus:
"The President, In conference In tho Ways and
Means Committee, on the subject of the tariff, re-
eommends the increase, on the free list Of oil ar
teles geasraily used In ths country, which do not
come in competition with American products.
II this iscapable of construction, it
means that the tariff is to bo continued
for protectivc purposes. It means that
thore should be no relief given to the
industrial interestsof the country, that
the government will persist in foster
ing monopolios, and in keeping from
the worldngmen OF American the pow
er to go into tho markets OF the world
and cell the productof their skilled Ia
bor; that we ought to continue the
foolish aud wicked policy that depriyeo
our own people of share in the vast
trndo of other countries.
America wants room. She cannot ef-
ford to have her commerce vailed in
from the rest of the world; to haFo har
skill and labor weighted down with a
tariff that enhances tho cost of the
workran's material, ead increases the
price OF his food and clothing.
The utsorances of the President prob
ably have significance. They indi-
cate determination on the part OF
those who fashion md mould this Adj
ministration to pay no attention to the
practical lessons of tho past, but to
persist, regardless of results and in con-
tempt of public interests, in the pres
ent policy. Our ruinous tariff expe-
rience seems to produce no impression
upon Congressman or President. De-
feat at the polls is the only lesson that
these characters are likely TO heed.

Iowa follows Wyoming in the matter
of .'Woman's Rights" It appears
that Miss Julia C. Addington has
been duly elected by the male sufra-
gans of that State to she useful If not
distinguished Office of superintendent
OF Common Schools. But Miss Ad-
dington, with timidity quite unnatu-
raj In pioneers In great reform move
ments, hesitated and deliberated unon
her legal right to take and hold the
Office. Whereupon she asks the ad-
vice of the Attorney General. Mr.
O'Conner, gentleman supposed to
be, and who has a right to be. high
authority in all matters of this charac-
ter. That individual replies that a
recent decision in the Court OF Ex-
ehequer, England, holding that the
generic term man includes woman
also, indicates our progress from a
crude barbarism to better civiIiza-
ton. The Attorney concludes by
saying: 81 need scarcely add that,
in my opinion, Miss Addington is en-.
titled e the Office to which she has
been elected"

BUGGY BUSINESS ABROAD.

People are likely to wonder if, after
all, the Oregon State House Officials
have had precedent for their action
upon the buggy question. Mungen,
Member of Congress from Ohio, re-
Gently introduced resolution In the
House directing all the Cabinet Off
GERS TO report the number of carriages,
horses and harness paid for by the
government and used for the pleasure
or convenience of the Heads of the De-
partments and their families, and by
what authority such government prop
erty has been appropriated. The
House refused to second the previous
question, and SO the resolution went
over. OF course it will always contin-
ne to ego over" As matter of taste,
the resolution was no doubt imperti-
nent and most offensive to the dignity
of the dignitaries, whose elevation to
Office was not prompted by economical
considerations whose loyalty covers
every deficiency in Qualification for
Office. But as a little matter of busi-
ness, with which the people have a
pecaniary interest, Mungnr' resolution
is important
The shrewd Congressman assumes
the fact that buggies, carriages and
horses are paid for by the public for
Heads of the Departments, and in
quires into the details. The main TACT
IS important. It shows to what new
uses an Office may be put; what
unsuspected practices are, and what
others may be, IN unthought of places;
it shows how easily a hole may be
made IN thepublic money-bags, and in
what ignorance the public may re-
main concerning the same. After all, /,
we are not SO sure that it was Wash
ington City that made the precedent.
Riding, driving and putting on airs at
public expense Is anOregon invention,
we think. It is our own Salem fash
ion that Washington copies. Let us
respect the prophets of our own coun-
try. Let us do ourselves the honor to
consider that our Woods, May, Cooke
ct al, are not ehaIlow limitations but
great originals-men rich in resources
and fertile in inventions. At the pres
ent rate of progress, we may reason
ably hope that the day is not far dis
tant when an official commission will
be the patent of countless privileges;
when the word ''perquisites" will have
signification so general as to compre-
hend all things useful and desirable in
the eyes of eoYetous man, and when
stealing viii no longer be regarded by
the vulgar multitude as a reprehensi-
BILE practice, but rather as fine art.

TlH telegraph assumes the ratifca-
ION of the 18th Amendment by Ohio,
without conveying information of the
act. We presume, however, that the
telegraphic assumption Is correct and
that Ohio has reconsidered her action
Of last year and ratified the amend
ment. New York has also reconsider
cd her action but with different re-
suit. New York this time reiecte.-
Now. since, in ell probability, both OF
these States will be needed TO secure
the requisite three-fourths, here Is &
nice little dilemma for Radical tacti-
clans to get around. II State cannot
legally reconsider her action in the
premises, then Ohio must keep her
place among the non-rstifying States
if State can do so, then New York
must be SO counted. We are a little
curious TO see just how the az
fair will be adjusted.

The Bill reported by the reconstruc-
ton committee for the admission of
Virginia was exchanged for \ substi-
tute, introduced by Bingham, By close
vots of SO to 95. We do not know
wbat the character OF the substitute is
but presume it to be less revolving in
It's features than the emanation of the
Committee, from the fact that the
Democratic members, on the vote to
substitute, pretty generally voted in
the affirmative. It seems then that
the Reconstruction Committee that
has Matched all that brood of Infamous
measures that has been launched upon
the South to breed disorder in its gov
ernment and inaugurate a hell in its
society, has finally concocted some
thing OF such unparalleled atrocity
that even a Radical Congress would
not endorse it.

Now York may get ready to bid
