LAND CASE. The Stockton Independent oil
Wednesday last, has the following in relation
to conflicting claims for land by two well
known citizens of this county:
"Three days and half have been occu
pied in the United States Land Office, in this
city, in taking testimony before the Register
and Receiver in the following land case: C.
S. Pease, claimant to the east half of the
northeast quarter of section 81 southwest
quarter and southeast quarter of the north
west quarter Of section 81. township north,
range Is east, VS.. George Diller, presumption
contestant to the west half Of the southwest
quarter of section 26 /; southwest quarter of
the southeast quarter of section q, ard the
northeast quarter Of the northeast quarter of
section "a, township north. range Is east
This is the first case tried of the many con-
ficting claims to land in Tuolumne county.
In this case forty acres are in contest and
upon which Diller built his cabin in 1855.
where he has continued to reside to the pres
ent, except when be was at work upon the
neighoring ranches, usually working on his
land claim in the Winter and on ranches du-
ring the Summer, but failing to cultivate
his own land. Pease has placed valu-
able Improvements upon the contested forty
acres and has cultivated adjoining land which
constitutes part of bis claim. Pease alleges
settlement in February. 1866. The case was
submitted on briefs to be filed in fifteen
days."

Raecs Of CAiaese Enmixrasisa.

Samuel Brannan q former Republican State
Senator and Elector on the Lincoln ticket,
expresses himself in the Calistoga Tribune
ia an article entitled 1.-THE remedy for the pres
ent business depression in California" as fol-
lows:
"Mongolian immigration has been encour-
aged. to the detriment Of the mechanics and
laborers among our own countrymen. who
woald else have become permanent citizens
OF Californ;s. and would have raised up use
full and thrifty families in our midst. The
white immigration TO this coast is corsequents
ly decreasing. Our hest mechanics and la
burers. lacking employment, have been COM
PEELED to leave tie State, giving place to the
Asiatic and the inferior classes of white la
Dor.
The remedy for these evils is plain, and
must be effected without the possibility of a
change The people must take the matter
into their own hands. Let conventions be
called in every town and hamlet, regardless
Of politics, politicians or ofice-holders pass
resolutions positively prohibiting the immi-
grafton of coolie laborers into this State, and
that those already here be required to make
their exit during the coming two years, max
ing the Chinese merchants responsible for
their departure. who introduced them into the
country on speculation. Our Government
should prohibit the Importation of Chinese in
American steamships. subsidized by the peo-
pies money. We will then begin to see the
return of the good old times of growing ma
ton Of white men and Christians, and the
tenantless houses of San Francisco and other
places will be occupied our marts of com.
merce and trade will revive, the hand of in
dnstry will receive its reward, and the COM
| plant OF dull times and the want of employ
ment will be heard no more"
The above is all that Democrats have said
or can say as to the effect of bringing Chinese
to this State, we are glad to learn that Re-
publicans at last see the evil effects of these
importations, if that party had held the same
views in relation to this subject short time
since we might now be spared the ruiuous
and blasting effect that the presence of this
scum Of the earth has produced in our
midst.

The City Of New York has been the scene
of another disgraceful riot, resulting in large
loss of life. For the past week fears were en-
tertained that serious trouble would occur
upon thesoccasion Of the Orangcmen turning
out impression. Large numbers of Catho-
lic Irish protested against 0rangemen being
allowed to make 6 public demonstration, at
the same time threatening that they would in
terfere with and break up any such demon
stration. The fears Of the people were so
great, the excitement so strong that the city
authorities issued an order prohibiting the
Orangamen from turning out in procession as
they had determined. On Tuesday night
Governor Hoffman issued proclamation re-
voking the order of the Police authorities, Civ
ing notice that any body Of men desiring to
march in peaceful procession the next day,
would be protected to the utmost extent pos
sible, calling upon all citizens of every race
and religion to unite with the legal authori-
ties to preserve the peace. On Sunday, by
order of Bishop McCloskey the priests in all
the churches of the city counseled the Catho-
lies not to interfere in any manner with the
Orangemen. Their counsel had not sufficient
weight to avert the portending troubles. On
Wednesday morning the streets presented a
warlike appearance.
The Orangemen undertook to carry out
their determination to have procession,
they we're fred into and finally broken up.
Thousands Of workmen quit their work to
take part in the terrible scenes. 1t is report
ed that the Ancient Order of Hibernians
were for some days drilling and arming for
this inexcusable and shameful outbreak.
There can be no excuse or justification offer
ed by the Catholics, who have been parties
to this disgracefal riot. The Orangemen
have the same right to make public demon
stration, and be protected, as the Catholics
have. With as much reason, the Orangemen
could have attacked the recent professions
which took place in honor of the Pope.
The people of the United States are not
parties to any of the feuds existing among
those who have seen proper to become citi-
gems of the country. These have nothing to
do with our affairs and cannot be allowed to
excite our people and bring war irto our
cities. The rights of free country are guar
anteed to all let them be Catholic or Protest
act but our laws will not allow either to i'm
pose upon or interfere with the other. The
order issued prohibiting the procession was
contrary to the right of citizens to meet
peacefully and was evidently made through
fear from an armed force, Gov. Hoffman g
action will be approved BY the people of the
country. The time we hope is far distant
VIXEN threats of violence by one body of per-
sons against another shall be strong enough
to deprive citizens of the right to make a
peaceful demonstration.

Mas. Fans CAsE.-The Sacramento Union
of Tuesday last says: E. Cook, counsel for
Mrs. Fair, filed the appeal papers in her
case in the Supreme Court yesterday. The
record of proceedings in the court below oc-
cupies 305pages of printed matter, to which
is added an appendix Of 35 pages. in addi-
ton to which there will be, say. 100 pages of
argument of counsel-all of which the Su-
preme Judges will have to wade through.
The case has necessarily been continued I'M
I'll the next term of the court. and Mrs. Fair
evidently has before her several months of
anxious waiting before she will know the
views of the Supreme Bench in her case.

II ID to be regretted that political journals
Of the country protesting great veneration for
their partisan principles should almost Is
rule lose sight Of the merits and issues invoIv-
ed in political contest. In former days it
was the pride Of apolitical editor to discuss
the various policies Of the contending parties
with truthfulness and honesty of purpose
bat later, especially in the past few years,
since the good of the country has become
secondary to personal aud selfish interests it
is g refreshing exception when a partisan
journal can be found sticking to the real and
important interests of the people at issue
which they will be called on to decide. ANY
one looking over the papers published in this
State cannot help having their attention
called to the fact that a political contest is
but another name for personal abuse. Since
the State Conventions of the two parties have
made their nominations this evil has made it.
self prominent in many portions. Papers
that spoke highly of Gov. IIaight aud his
administration, that approved many of bis
acts, especially the position he assumed on
the railroad question before he was re-nomin-
ated, have since the nomination discarded
consistency and now abuse him in every form
incident to the fertile brain Of irresponsible
and corrupt partisanship. The people of
this State have expressed and made manifest,
their approval of this gentleman's admins
tration over their affairs, in such manner that
every person at all interested in politics
should know that personal abuse, will have
but little effect against him. But the parti-
san press has degeneratei from the good old
days and now in place Of honest discussion
reckless statements, baseless assertions and
personal attacks make up the staple of their
efforts. 1t has become so at last that no man
however pure and honest, however high be
may stand among his neighbors and friends.
the moment he asp;res to political position
the walls of partisan nastiness are uncorked
and he is spattered all over with filthy emen-
atoms. This is all wrong, we are willing to
accord honesty and consciousness to poll
teal opponents, we do not believe yet that
any one party contains all the good men and
are willing to rest our political wishes and
desires, UPON the principles ndpolicy declar-
ed by the party of which we claim to be
member, without endeavoring to ridicale and
abuse those who think different from US, or
have been placed before the people for them
to pass upon.
The people are getting tired of this kind of
political writing and speaking, it is exerting
no influence and by pursuing it the press is
detracting from its dignity, and instead of
becoming benefit to communities is teach
ing that, which will go far towards their de-
moralization. Every partisan press has
enough to do to explain, maintain and de-
fend in an honest, straight forward manner,
their peculiar and distinctive policies and
principles. The qualifications and merits of
every aspirant should be treated in dispas-
sionate and dignifed manner. The sooner
this is done the better, until it is done the
influence of partisan journals will be limit
ed.

THIRTY YEARS AGO AND Now-Says the
Washington Patriot: "On the third day of
March, lS4l, Mr.. Martin Van Buren,, about
to terminate his career as President, called
upon General William Henry Harrison, the
President elect, and, after an interchange of
civilities, requested to be informed if he could
do anything to oblige General Harrison
while authority still remained in his hands.
Yes, replied the modest old warrior, you
can do me favor my son-in-law, General
Pike, who died on the battlefield, left an on
ly child, my grandson, whose inclinations,
like bis fathers, are for the army. think
he will be credit to the service, but, of
course, cannot appoint him. rs that all p
said Mr.. Van Buren, and in two hours the
commission was signed, and sent to the
young man.
ION the third day of March, 1871, there
were in Office, or responsible posts of some

one appointed by General Grant, each one

and none of them even pretending to have
