GEO. Fl. WILLIAMSBURG individual whose

GEO. II. WILLIAMs.-The individual whose
name heads this article is now accused of con-
plicity in the late election frauds in Portland
Oregon; and surely the removal from the u
s. District Attorneyship of Hon. "A. 9. Gibbs'
and the appointment in his stead OF such o
weakling as Mr.. Rufus Mallory gives coloring
of truth to the accusation. For what other
object could o man so well acquainted in Ore
gon have in making such removal and such
an appointment, than to get man in position
whom he could use. While it will not be
claimed by any that Mr. Gibbs possesses remark
able fitness for the position from which he has
been removed; no impartial man acquainted
with the parties will deny him superiority over
Mallory And that he was honest in the per-
Torrance of his official duties must be inferred
unless the contrary is shown-frOm the fact
that he refused to obey instructions from the
Acknowledgement to permit repeaters and
other tamperers with the ballot box to escape
the penalties of their great crimes. But Will
liams' order was not to shield those who actu-
ally voted more than once in the interest of
Mr.. Mitchell and his friends It's real object
was to cover up the part taken in that Infamous
transaction by the Bulletin ring OF which Mr.
Williams is, in all human probability, lead
ing prompter To have permitted searching
investigation into those election cases would
have exposed the scoundrels in whose hands
RYAN and Walker, and other reporters, con.
ycted and unconvictcd, were mere jumping
lacks. and have robbed them Of social standing
and influence. if they escaped the peni,entia
nv. This Mr. Williams knew; and 1t was for
this reason he removed Mr.. Gibbs and appointed
Mr.. Mallory.

New York City, says the habits of smoking ant

These people are, of course, impelled by a nat

and refugees from justice dwell. Here they
intermarry with the whites-the marriages 81
far. being mostly between white women of for
eign birth, according to the writer, and Chinese
men-and these unfortunate creatures, like
their Chinese lords, seek the solace which gin
can no longer bestow, in opium. Here they
find, if not solace, at least oblivion, which an
swers their purpose quite as well. But, unfor-
tunately, the perncious habit is not confined
to the lower classes The rich and the cult
waited are falling into line. Many women of
refinement and position are strongly suspected
of indulging in the delightful poison; and many
lady leaders of society are said to owe their
viyacity and brilliaatness in conversation "to
the mythical flower that girds the brow of Nor
