INsTRUcTING THE CHINESE and at

able than their persecution and
wherever we see such attempts being
made we canno, avoid bringing them in
contrast with the purposes and proceed
ings of the seIf-elected Anti-Chinese
societies, at the meetings of which GER
tain classes of mechanics and laborers
in California spend good deal too
much Of their valuable time. We End
the following in the Oakland Termiui :
The Chinese who attend school are learn
ing very fast, we are informed by one of the
teachers in the Congregational Church.
There is an average attendance in that school
of forty-fve, both on Sunday and Thursday
evenings, the two days of tuition. The
teachers number fifteen, and under their in
struction rapid progress is being made. Two
of the scholars profess Christianity in its
fullest sense, and there is prospect that the
have been shown letter written BY one of
them which is well composed and legibly
written. 1t is good plan to go to work on
the heather in our midst before sending mis-
sionaries thousands Of miles of. OF course
the conversion of both is needed, but home
is the place to commence. The work is
great and arduous even in our own country,
for there are thousands of human beings
here who worship idols and know no other
God. There are two other schools for the
education of Chinese in Oakland-at the
Baptist and Presbyterian Churches-and
they are both fourishing and doing their
share of good.

The following startling, but not unel
pected dispatch was received here yes
terday afternoon
/ Special cable dispatches from Europe re
port that the Intervention of the great power
has proved Intellectual for the preservation Q
peace. Napoleon will to day declare wa
against Prussia. President Grant will cal
an extra session of Congress in consequence
This is news of the very gravest i'm
port. A war between France and Prus
STA threatens the peace of all Europe
Russia will side with Prussia POLAND
will revolt Austria will &C. as an ally
of France Spain will necessarily take
part in the struggle, and all the lesser
powers will be upon one side or the
other of the bloody conflict. England
will strive to maintain neutral relations;
but it is more than probable that she
will be compelled to take part with one
or the other of the combatants. Napo
leon stakes his all upon the hazard of
the issue and the military prestige of
France is thrown into the scale. In
such momentous conflict complications
sill unlocked for will arise. 1t seems
hardly possible tha. the United States
can be drawn into the vortex. But in
the course of long war such as this is
likely 70 prove, involving all of Europe,
there will appear many events which
no philosophy can predict and no
craftsmanship avert. Hence the COM
mendable prudence of President Grant
in calling an extra session Of Congress.
Early circumstances may arise which
will necessitate the placing of our navy
upon a war footing.
This impending European war, while
it will have q depressing effect upon f.
1ances the world over will greatly en-
1ance the price of our agricultural pro.
and the Ike in par.
ocular; and thus it may prove that a
earful and bloody calamity to Europe |
nay not be without material benefits to |
American interests.

A Brave Fellow.
from the Boston Pilot

There is go much notification min
gled with the memory of the late Fe-
MAN raid that we are glad to hear o
anything connected Herewith that may
promote an opposite feeling. The fol
lowing incident We can vouch for as
being simply truthful:
| While the Fenian troops occupied the
hill, and during the heaviest firing OF
the day, General O'Neill found that be
| wanted to communicate with General
Donnelly, who held position in The
rear of Richards farm house, at the
base of the hill. To get to the farm
house the bare side of the hill had to be
crossed, every inch of which was ex-
posed to the Canadian fire. The DIS
lance was at least four hundred yards
General O'Neill told the officer in COM
mand to ask for volunteer. The Off
Ger went to his men, who were formed
upon the crest of hill, under cover.
He asked for volunteer to carry dis
patches to General DonnelIy at the
farm house. From where they stood
the men could look down over the ex-
posed field to the farm, and as they
looked they saw the whitish smoky
looking streaks glancing through the
field as the Canadian bullets cut the
top of the long grass. Thew saw and
no one answered. Will no man
volunteer again asked the officer.
a." Yes, sir; III CO." said n young
fellow, stepping out of the ranks
and handing his rife to comrade.
General O'Neill gave him the dispatches
and the officer asked his name, which
be wrote down, believing the poor fell
10 had no chance OF escape. He start
ed from the cover of the trees, and in a
few seconds was out on the exposed
hillside. The Canadians saw him at
once, and perfect hailstorm of bullets
Kissed round him. On be went, and in
The centre OF the field he flung his cap
n the air, caught it, and in a few mo-
nents more was in the shelter Of the |
house. General Donnelly sent another |
dispatch back to o Neill, and with it
he fearless fellow returned the same
lay. He arrived uuscathed, but rather
and his comrades gave him

LATEST KILOGRAMS.

Il We gather the following from las
evenings Gold Hill News:
Motley has been recalled and ex-Senato
Frelinghuysen nominated to fill his place.
, Charley belong has been confirmed a
Envoy Extraordinary to Japan. This raise
him and his pay.
General Mcclellan has been appointed
Engineer in Chief of the Department OF the
North. Quees,
Napoleon is decidedly on the war path
We no longer look to Red Cloud, but to St
Cloud for items of interest.
Gladstone's remark that England sustains
Grammont's position which is that Spain is
at liberty to choose anybody but German
for King, would seem to indicate sympathy
for France on the part of the British Gov
eminent.
| Here are the dispatches:
New YORK, July l5-3 p. m.-PARIs,
July l5-3 p. m.-The Paris Legislatif de-
clared war against Prussia at 10 minutes

Holland will remain neutral.
The belligerents have engaged to respect
neutrality.

The specie and bullion in the National

The announcement on the street of the |
receipt of cable dispatch from Rothschild |
& Co. by their agents in New York that Ma
poleon had declared war against Prussia this
and that the French fleet had been
ordered to blockade Prussian ports, created
much excitement. There is very little else
heard or spoken of. Bets are already max
ng as to the result of the frs. battle. The
is almost universal for Prussia.

LEN WINES ENrsRpRIsE.-The White
Pine News of the 18th inst. Gays:
We knew that Len Wines had some
stage neeromancy in view when he SO
suddenly dropped on Hamilton day be-
fore yesterday. Our surmise about poll
tics don't begin to cover the ground.
II seems that oe found out that his stage
drivers bad been 'loa6ng' on him, and
even went as far as to sleep about half
the way between here and Elko. He
caught them mapping this trip, and is
determined to wake 'em up. On and
after Thursday. his stages will arrive
here at noon, instead of p. m, and
leave Wells Fargo & Co. 3 at Up. N. in
stead of noon. This will give our peo-
pie chance to answer letters imnedi-
ately on their arrival. The change in
time of departure and arrival involves a
rate of speed between here and Elko not
heretofore dreamed Of. The time table
for the downward trip is II hours, and
for the upward 10! II was 10 and 81
heretofore; but Len concluded the boys
of the whip were having too easy time,
and is now putting them to their PAGES.

TIE COMPLAINT AGAINST DISTRICT
ATTORNEY WELLS.

By the terms of resolution passed
by the Board Of County Commissioner:
and Published in yesterdays APPEAL
our readers have been notified that Mr.
Ii. F. Rice, one of the Board, is author
lied BY the Board to institute proceed
ings against District Attorney Wells for
noncompliance with the laws which
govern his official action. We yester-
day went to the Clerks Office of the
District Court, where Mr.. Rice's com
plant is on file filled by Attorney Ellis
and were permitted to read that docu-
ment. 1t reci,es the facts bearing upon
Mr. Wells appointment, to his present
position and states the statute under
which be is directed to perform certain
duties for instance that be is direct
81 to make weekly payments of moneys
received for delinquent: taxes to the
County Treasurer that he is officially
bound to make a final settlement with
the Treasurer on the Saturday preceding
the first Monday in June that he must
die an affidavit of payment with the
Auditor, ETC., etc. The complaint also
sets forth that the Board on the It'll day
of February passed an order directing
the defendant to commence suit against
the State for payment of rent on the
County Buildings. Following all this
is = general and specified complaint of
non- fulf,lnent Of these requirements
that the Dissric: Attorney " fails, ne
elects aud refuses" to commence suit
against certain parties delinquent
(Which fact is notorious) fails to pay
over moneys collected !; fails to file list
of judgments with County Auditor
- fails, neglec.s and refuses" to bring
suit, as directed, against the State, etc.,
etc, etc. The complainant prays that
defendant be cited to appear within ten
snd not less than FIVE days to show
cause why he should uot be deprived of
his Office.
Now We have no disposition to pre-
adge this case but we cannot help a
feeling of regret that any officer of the
county has been so far de-elict in his
.Uties as to offer any occasion for suit
If this character. If our law officers {
disregard the laws whom Can we expect
o regard and obey them? Mr. Wells is ]
Republican and he must be aware
hat any failure upon his part to COM
'ly with the plain terms of the laws
which bear upon the action of District
attorneys will not only place him in an
aeIcusable light before the people of
he county, but viii have prejudicial
feet upon his party. \
