SOMETHING THE MATrER.-We learn from
our exchanges that immigrants are pouring
into California at the rate of a thousand
lay, aud hat great difficulty is experienced
N securing employment for this immense
influx Of new comers. They all head for
san Francisco, and from that point diverge to
the various localities that give promise OF
pleasant homes, and employment for those
who Grv unable to engage in business on
their own account. Many Of these immi-
grants are making their way up to Oregon,
and as we have already stated, they are over
crowdinG the Oregon labor market. In
striking contrasts with this rush for CalifOr-
MIA and Oregon, we fud that this Valley re-
mains comparatively unviSited- 1t was sup-
posed that when the boats resumed their
trips there would be considerable travel from
the lower country, and such WAS the case for
the first week or two, but tits travel is stead
lily dwindiing down until by Wednesday )
trip, all told, there was but four passengers.
Ii ever our country is 10 become prosperous,
we must do better than this, and tn only
way TO brtt,r orr condition Is to secure AN
incrr;s. Of population.

The PURE METAL--A year and half
ago there arrived in our town young man
who had been out with a surveying party.
He came foot-sore, ragged, and almost worn
out with a severe summers campaign in the
wilderness, and to add to his troubles, he
could not get pay from bis employers for his
summers work. Without friends, without
money, without clothes, and in u strange
country, our youth was placed in a most en-
barrassing position, and one which tried his
nerves If he cursed his luck, he did not
sit down TO do il, but had firm belief that
Luck is Pluck" aud accordingly put his
hand 10 the wheel anywhere he could get
hold. and did work that not only required
plenty of muscle, but large stock of cour-
aye 10 face public opinion. His sterling
Qualities came TO the surface, and he at once
gained the respect Of all who came in CON
tact with him, and from stranger he has
grown into the friendship Of our best busi-
ness men. To him We extend Il Welcoming
hand. and congratulate him on his bright
rning fu'urc, AMI only wish that our young
men had more Of the rrsoluiion, the integrity,
and strength Of purpose that characterizrs

Commission G of Cincinnati, Julius +.

on motions for temporary restraining
orders, under petitions filed by the plain
titfs TOR injunctions. The plaintiffs aver
that they are owners of tracts OF land III
Cumminsville, and that the defendants,
constituting the Plating Commission Of
Cincinnati, are proceeding to lay oil
streets through their lands, and making
plat thereof, which they will record in
the Offices of the County Recorder and
of the City Civil Engineer.
The plaintiffs further say that this Is
an interference with the use of their
property; that the law under which the
defendants act is unconstitutional and
void, and that it will decrease the value
OF his property. They therefore pray for
an injunction against the setting OF the
stakes, the recording OF the plats, or any
other proceedings by the defendants
which will in any way interfere with the
full and free use of their property. A
temporary order was granted until Mon
day, when the case will be heard.

great appreciation.
over elgnty-seyen reports were brought

festoons, etc. Judge Cox reported that
the Courthouse would be finely deco.
rated, and Colonel Maxwell announced
that the Merchants Exchange would
sent word that their office on Fourth

"must reconcile himself as best he can"
We deny the allegation that the country
can not have "proper diplomatic rep
resentation" in foreign courts on reason
able salaries, or that ministers who live
ON their salaries edo their country harm
by exposing 1t to the contempt Of those
who sway the destinies of other coun-
tries"
This is, a very vulgar view Of the ques-
tion. Ifhigh living is the secret of min
isterial success, the Shah OF Persia must
have elevated his barbarous country into
most amazing degree OF respectability
during his visit to the European powers
a year agol
. No; an American minister can reside
at London, Paris, Berlin or st. Peters,
burg on $1,000 year, with greatly In
creased usefulness and honor to his
country. Ifhe have such talent and ed
ucation as minister should possess, he
will command much higher respect for
his country than second-rate man with
$100, 900 to squander upon princely gour-
mands. The logical conflict of nations
is contest of brains, not Of cash and
courtly dinners. When such a conflict
is carried to the ultima ratio, 1t becomes
contest of gunnery and ganpowder,
hardihood and heroism.
Do we look for these elements of sue
cess where luxury and effeminacy pre-.
vail? The hardy Mede witnessed the
respectable style of the Court at, Nine.
veh, turned away with contempt, de.
spised himself for knowledging such
sovereignty, went back to his brave
| countrymen, communicated to them his
own spirit, organized an army, marched
to the capital, and overthrow the EN-.
pire. 1t is our guns or our we'll known
ability to make allneedful armor and rally
all needtul forces of war at a brief notice
that makes us respectable abroad. The
social habits of our ministers have moth
ing to do with it, except to impair oul
credit where such habits are INDUCED
by ordinary minds.
| No foreign court would dare to ne
glect our demands or insult our Minister
even if he made his abode in the country
and travelled to and from the capital Oh
a commuters ticket for the sake of econ
omy. If be have brains he can live just
as he pieases, and it would soon be dis
covered by the power that did not prop
erly respect our country through oul
accredited Minister, that its contempt
could not be sustained by the utmost il
could command of men and munitions.

EATIONAL REsPEe1ABILIrY.

Speaking Of Mr.. Schenck's withdrawal
Htom the British Court because his sal
xry (S17, ,600) with outfit is not adequate
to his respectable support as a Minister
and that he is too poor to make up the
deficiency, the st. Louis Globe says:
The Minister does not, can not and
will not live on his salary; some Of them
are honest and try to do 1t, and the only
result is that In the circle in which they
must move they are looked on as in
truders, and they do their country harm
BY exposing 1t to the contempt of those
who sway the destinies of other coun-
txiee; some of them are patriotic, and
most patriotically ruin themselves In
supporting the proper diplomatic repre-
sanitation Of their country abroad, and
the upshot of it will be that none but
pich man will under any circumstances
be qualified to I'LL high diplomatic ap.
v0intment. ~
The Globe proceeds to observe that the
sserage citizen, however much he may
diaIiks en- increase Of such salaries,
