THE EvERLAsTING HEATHEN.-Pcti-
tions are being generally circulated and
signed addressed to the Congress of the
United States, asking for its Interference
to prevent the influx of the Chinese to
these shores. Some of the reasons why
this should be done are thus eptomizcd :
They have no desire to make this cOun-
try their home their sole aim is to ac-
cummu!nte competence and return to
China ; they live on n few cents worth
Of rice a day large numbers live in small
rooms, thus engendering disease they
have no families to support their women
are lewd, and are no better than slaves
they are natural thieves they are per-
sistent liars. All of which counts in the
indictment must be admitted as true, yet,
as the Chinese question is not even touch
ed upon in the message of President
es, it would seem as if the news of the
Chinese trouble had not reached Wash
ington.
One thing is quite certain, that in SEN
ator Sargent the anti Chinese element OF
the Pacific States have an able advocate.
1t remains for us to furnish him with the
facts necessary TO strengthen his hands in
the fight soon TO be made in Congress up
on this very issue. Without doubt mon
ster petitions can be gotten up for this, OF
for that matter for any other object. But
it strikes us that Senator Roger plan, il
carried out would be subject to less cavil
He proposes to test the sense of the people
at the first general election held in this
State, at which time the opportunity will
be afforded Of voting "yes" or "no" up.
on the question of Chinese immigration
The vote then east will be counted and
returned the same as any other vote and
the feeling of the people in regard to this
question ascertained beyond peradven-
ture. 1t is SO easy to get up petition
for almost any desired purpose, that the
right Of petition does not carry with il
that force to which it should be rlghtful-
ly entitled. A vote ot the whole State
would carry authority with it.

Weaveryille, December IS, 1877.

TIE m 'st remlrkabl e jury ever con
veued in Red Bluff WAS summoned to at
tend a. the present term of the County
Court, all being colored mer save three.
The case OF John Coilee (colored) came
on for uis at the ope.ing Of the term
and Distri It Att orney Banks objected to
the case Icing ujed before them on the
ground that majority of the juty had
been chosen from the class of people TO
whom the defendant belong d. Ned
Lewis, on the other hand, stood ready 10
declare that every man had right to be
tried before jury OF his peers, and we
may remark that according t. ths DEM
ocratic doctrine ofcaste and distinction OF
race or color the point may be considered
well taken. However, Banks mo,ion for
Il continuance was sustained and the col

stood nine colored and three Caucasian,

SENAToRIAL.-Tbe Democratic Sena-
torial caucus inally set the time for com
mencing to ballot. 1t is probable that
the papers to arrive to-day will give
something ofan inl,lng as TO the first
preferences of members. The correspon-
dents figure out the strength Of the two
leading candidates, Farley and Ryland,
at from % to II votes each, Mcdonald
follows with about 20 more, while the
remainder Of the Democratic strength Is
divided between Hager, Haight, Damer-
on, Sepulveda and other lesser lights.
Other reporters claim Hager as third in
the fight with better prospects in the out
come than any of the others. There is a
pretty good chance for combinations
among the riends Of the politicians and
the caucus may finally shelve all who are
named

THERE is q pleasant BIT Of history con-
noctod with the resolution Senator Cor
don lately offered in behalf OF the State
OF South Carolina. At the time of the
breaking out OF the Revolution the Old
Colony ChIrch Of Charleston possessed
Il chime of bells which were presented to
it by the English Crown. During the
war they were captured and sent to Eng
land, where since ,hey have ever remain
cd. An English merchant, whose name
isnot given, having the bells in his pos
session, proposes to return them to South
Carolina, and Senator Gordon's resolu-
lion provides that they be admitted to
this coI1tly FREQ OF duty.

P-EyNA.-This place, now famous as
the fortress where the victorious armies
of Russia were checked, is now in the
Lands Of the Russians. Pleyna has been
closely invested for some time, and ii
was believed that unless the Ottoman
government could succor tie garrison it
woL'd be starved INTO surrender. On
The 10th inst, Osm0n Pacha attempted
10 break through the Russian lines in the
direction Of Widln. The attempt was
not successful, ana after five hours hard
fighting be found his army surrounded
o1 all sides and surrendered uncondition
al y. There are great rejJicings in Rus
tiE ci.cles at the event, which Is very
natural. Osman Pacba made a gallant
defense, and il was not until his army
was pcrishing with cold and hunger, and
lalcd in the attempt to cut its way out
that he yielded TO the inevitable.
