The Reduction Of Wages sad Introduction Of
Chinese 70 Follow Radical Success.

A Virginia City correspondent writes to the
San Francisco Chronicle that the Radical pri-
maries resulted, as were expected, sin the sue
cess of the Tritle, or ring ticket. He adds:
Zone thing. however. was developed, which
surprised many-that was the deep-rooted
feeling OF antagorism to the bank, or ring,
faction. year ago a man could scarcely
count upon his life for a day who spoke
against them, but now they are denounced in
a manner showing that the people will not al
ways submit 20 be tyranniZed over by mere
money power; and rs it is thoroughly under
stood that the success of the ring at the polls
will be at once followed by an attempted re-
duction of wages and the introduction of
Chinese labor into the mines, it may readily
be imagined how strong Is the feeling against
them of those whom these changes would so
seriously affect"
There have been rumors for some time of
the resolution adopted by the managers of the
leading mines about Virginia, to substitute
Chinese for white labor this Fall, and it was
probably from these managers that Fitch re-
Gently received his check in his pretended OPP
position to Chinese labor. Fitch's idea
took" very we'll for u short time, but sud
denly 2 change came over the spirit of their
dreams. We hear no more anti Chinese
clamor i'll that camp. We heard nothing of it
in the Republican State Convention. The
platform is silent about 1.-THE speakers and
newspapers are dumb. When the entire his
tory of this campaign is known, we predict
that it will be found that, in addition to in
structions from the East, these mine owners
of Storey county put n tiea in Fitch's ear, and
in the ear of certain newspapers in this State,
letting them know that they had gone far
enough in that line and that their support
was to be obtained on different conditions.
The men at work on the lodges, however.
will have something to say Us we'll as the
owners. As this correspondent says: at is
thoroughly understood that the success of the
ring at the polls will at once be followed by
an attempted reduction of wages and the i'll
PRODUCTION of Chinese labor into the mines. -
Radical success is, therefore, not SO certain.

The CHINESE IN IDAHo.-The census of the
once populous and prosperous Boise county,
Idaho, shows n population of white males
numbering 1866; Of Chinese males, l,GSl.
We remember, years ago, when all that coun-
try contained only one solitary Chinaman, and
not less than 5000 busy white men. When
the first company of fifty Cinnamon came into
that country, we warned the people of the
certain consequences, if they did not follow
the example of the northern counties, and
absolutely prohibit the Mongolinn immigra-
ton into that section of the Territory. Radi-
cal ideas about the beuehcent effects of CHEAP
labor, however, prevailed. Now we read
the result i'll these census figures. Had
the miners Of the north resolutey determined
to permit no Tartar within the lines of the
Boise Basin, that country to-day would have
been the home of thousands of busy and
prosperous people. This isolated instance
only forecasts the future of all this coast, and
of all this country, if this Chinese immgra-
ton is not stopped. Il is merely question
of time. We have to undo the legislation OF
the past ten years, or wo are doomed.

Republican Opposition TO Chinese in Nevada.
A Territorial Convention has been called in
Montana. to meet at the capital, to take meas
utes for the suppression Of the evil growing
out of the presence of the Chinese The Ore
gon Legislature is endeavoring to frame bill
to meet the same emergency. 1t is doubtful
whether either of these can effect anything 10
check this intolersble affliction. Congress
has so fortified the position of that race in the
United States that their dislodgment is next
to impossible. The Burlingame treaty, the
Fourteenth Amendment, and the bill TO en-
force it, confront the opponents of Chinese
immigration mt every step.
Both Montana and Oregon are Democratic.
We never hear Of a Republican State or Ter
ritory endeavoring to find any way to legislate
the Asiatics out of the country. Nevada has
been Republican ten years. If the Republi-
can party is opposed to the presence of the
Chinese, why nre they here? Why did n Re-
publican Legislature meet here year after year.
and during all that period never offer the
slightest Symptom Of opposition TO the con.
slant stream Of Mongolians who were pouring
into the State? The members of those Legis-
lntures had no Fourteenth Amendment, and
bill TO enforce it, to buck" against. Why
talk about opposition to even coolie importa,
ton, when they refused to act at u time when
they had the power to act? The history OF
the Republican party in Nevada is a complete
refutation of its platform. Ifthey do not want
the Cinnamon here, why are they here?

A SMALL BUSINESS.

The Lynchbug VirgiaiGr says: "The
United States Government having held
forcible possession for five years of the
mansion formerly inhabited by Mr.. JET
ferson Davis, and owned by the city OF
Richmond, agreed recently to relinquish
control of the property on condition that
the city would abandon its claim to com
pensation for the use thereof. The claim
of the city for rent, was twice rejected by
the War Department and possession re-
tanned until it should be forced, rather
than see its property fall into dilapidation
and ruin, to accept the property back up
on the hard terms imposed by the Govern
ment. After repeated efforts to
induce the War Department to al
low this just claim, the attorney
for the city advises the mayor
to yield, accept the property, with the
conditions annexed, and trust to "a
change of authority at Washington" to
have the claim allowed at some future
day. And this is the way that the Gov
eminent, under Radical control, deals
with its conquered subjects 1t is of
piece with the conduct of the same au-
thorities- indeed of Congress itself-in
to restore to Mrs. Gen. Lee the
relics that once belonged to Washington,
to her by her father, and the
that is now used by ''the wards
of the nation" Truly, it may be said
that, for a government that squanders
millions in worthless schemes and upon
its venal favorites, this small economy, at
the expense of justice and right, is not
calculated to impress the public very IA
vorably, and cannot quicken the impulses
of common patriotism among men who
entertain right views of honor and fair
dealing.n

AMERICAN PROTECTORATE
OVER SAN DOMINGO.

There are suspicious illusions to
United States protectorate in recent pub
lished letters from San Domingo City.
Now we have the same idea reproduced
in letter from Commander Green, of the
flagship Congress, to the Navy Depart
ment. 81 am inclined to the opinion"
he writes, 'that a withdrawal of the
protection of the United States, and of
the prospects of annexation at some fu-
ture time, would lead to a revolution by
Cabral.n What does the protection
here spoken of amount to? If it means
protection" of Baez against Cabral, who
authorized it and what can justify it, If
it implies the maintenance of Baez in
power by The United States, as against
revolution by the people he processes
to represent, with what propriety and
under what sanction can such "proteC-
ton" be continued? The New York
Post (RadicaD asks:
'gs it true that the United States have
agreed to. protect Dominica, that we have
established 'prOtectorate' in San Domin-
go? When was this done9 BY whose
authority Why was it kept a secret 2
What does it bind us too A good many
persons would like to know something
about this"
All the letter-writers convey an impress
sion that Baez and his friends rely upon
an American "prOtectorate" to sustain
them against domestic discomfort. And
now comes q rumor that war between
Hayti and San Domingo is imminent. In
case it does break out, will General Grant
act upon the protectorate which he claims
the United States has set up over the lat
ter country? If he does, the nation will
be disgraced. If he does not, the dusky
heroes of Hiatt may spoil the annexation
job. This instance shows the danger of
entrusting the affairs of the nation to
pretender and charlatan.

A FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT
FLASH IN THE PAN.

On the day of the recent election in
Shelby county, Col. Tom Norment, U. W.
Miller and Anderson Belts were arrested
by the United States Marshal because of
alleged violations of the fourth and fifth
sections of the act of Congress
designed to enforce the fifteenth amend
ment. They were officers of the cleo
ton. and the meaning of the charge
against them is that they INSTRUCTED ne
groes from voting. The UniUed States
District Attorney became convinced OF
the falsity of the charge, it appears, and
on the 8th inst. had the suits against these
gentleman dismissed. The Memphis AI-
peat says: 'FWe can congratulate the
community onthe fortunate termination OF
this matter. Hundreds of negroes were
present, ready to swear anything for their
owners and masters. Will the poor, de-
luded, infatuated negro never learn any
sense and how to forget the pre-
iudices which his worst enc
mics have inslilled into his credu-
lous brain 1t is surely time for reflect
ing freedmen to see that those who have
advised them to keep up their organiza-
ton against their white employers, who
are in large majority, are the selfish ap-
peals of Radical demagogues. what
ever may be the power and strength OF
the negro in some of the States further
South, here the Caucasian occupies the
natural and proper relation of the doml-
nant and superior race in numbers as
well as intelligence. 1t is fortunate,
however, for the freedmen, that the feel
ings Of the dominant race are OF the kind
est character 10 their late slaves. They
have no disposition to WELD their power
to the injury of the weaker race, but are
sincerely and honestly DESTROYS to carry
out the system of organic law enacted for
the perfect and permanent protection OF
all theirrecently acquiredrights. When
ever the negro ceases his war upon his en-
ployer, there will be peace between the
races. AS there is no conflict OF interest
between the whites and the blacks, there
should be no such political organizations
as those which mercenary and rascaliy
itinerant hirelings are advocating. The
emissarics of the Northern Radicals, for
purely selfish purposes, are attempting to
place the black minority in this State in
false position, and which will prove
suicidal to their own interests. We are
too familiar with the nature of the negro
to attempt 10 win him by fattery. We
wish to tell him in the plainest possible
language that neither his emancipation,
nor the proscriptive legislation of Con-
gress have made him stronger in Tennes-
see than his present employer and late
master. Keeping this undeniable fact
before him, we wish him also to under
stand that he can best promote his inter
ests, political and individual, by refusing
to be made the tool of the bad men who
are seeking to array him in causeless hos
tility toward the white race in this State. "

|ALOsT CHILD RECOVERED.

Early in June an infant child of Mr.
Digby, of New Orleans, was abducted by
negress, and every effort of the police
to discover a trace of the child or of the
negress utterly failed. A large reward
was offered by the father, which was in
creased by citizens of New Orleans, and
the Governor of Louisiana offered a re-
ward of $1,000 for the recovery of the
child. But all this brought no inteli-
gehee of the lost one. Finally a letter
came from the Mayor of Cincinnati asking
whether the reward would certainly be
paid for information of the whereabouts
of the child, as man in that city pro-
fessed to know where it was concealed.
He was assured that the reward would
certainly be paid, and the sequel is thus
told by the New Orleans Pjcay10,e of
Aug. z:
"The long expected letter from CinCin-
natl has been received, and purports to
give specific information concerning the
whereabouts Of the lost child. From it
we learn that a man named VIM. Jack
son, colored, some months since had a
difficulty with Mr.. Digby, and then
sWOre he would avenge himself, and
threatened to abduct one of his children.
This, the Cincinnati letter says, he did
do. 1t was by him the colored woman
was employed. He was waiting some
four h1nnl-c distant OF fho l,o oh
was stolen, and the woman Immediately
delivered tt to him. He carried it over
to Algiers, and from thence rapidly re-
moved it TO several places in the city, and
finally to Swamp street, in the Third
District. The person volunteering this
information is Jackson's brother-in-law.
He lives in Cincinnati, and assures the
Mayor that the child has never been re-
moved from this city; that it is still There.
Immediately on the receipt of the letter,
Chief of Police Badger and Sergeant Ma
lone searched the places named in the
letter, but could find no traceof the child.
Neither can they hear of man answering
the description of VIM. jackson. 1t is
possible that they may yet ascertain i'm
portant intelligence; but as yet the affair
looks as dash as ever.
A New Orleans dispatch of Aug. 8
says: "Digby's child, which was abducted
by negress some two months ago, and
was feared to have been a victim of the
Voudous, was recovered to-day. She
was in good condition, and had been in
the possession of the negress in the Sixth
Ward of the city all the time" This
brief dispatch is all we have in regard to
the matter, but it appears the man Jack
son must be implicated in the abduction.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says: cit
can be positively stated that the Presi-
dent and Cabinet are very decided in
opinion, that both law and sound public
policy demand that an election should be
held in Georgia this coming fall. Among
the strongest in this belief is the Attorney
General, and the attempt to defeat an
election is held by the majority of the
Cabinet to be a gross outrage" If Grant
is in favor of holding an election this
fall, why does he not direct Satrap Terry
to order an election, and thus settle the

SOME idea of the vast change that has
taken place in North Carolina since the
last election may be had from the fact
that at the last election the Radicals had
a majority of seventy-seven on joint bal
lot in the State Legislature, whereas now,
it is believed, that the Democrats will
have majority of two-thirds, or from
one hundred and ten to one hundred and
thirteen members of both houses out of
one hundred and sixty-nine. For once
the ballot-box has triumphed over the
schemes of fraud, and force, and cruelty,
which were brought to bear upon the
people of North Carolina. -...-..u
