We ARE glad to observe that an
anti-Chinese plank was put in the
Cincinnati platform. 1t was streuu'
ously opposed by gentleman who
said in a speech against it that class
legislation was contrary 10 he spirit
of the Republican party, and whose
remarks drew out enthusiastic APP
plause from an audien"e who knew
nothing at all about the question the
plank was aimed at. The plank was
in danger Of being list when our OWL
silver Senator rose and lent his voice
toward saving it. 1t suggests To Con.
gress the necessity for a speedy in.
vestigation of the Chinese question
with a view. Of course, though not
expressed, TO intelligent action upon
it, and says nothing nj all about
Graduating the evil. although The
Gold Hill News declares il does.

from thu attorney Of tue Company to tho effect
that Mr.. Billings WAS sick IN bed and unnble to
