TRENTON.

The stockholders of the Tennessee
Central road will meet in Trenton
tomorrow. If our motion to change
it to a plank road is in order, we hope
it will be conside'ed A plank road is
needed badly, and we believe it will
pay better than the railroad.
Let it be remembered that Quar-
terly Court meets in Trenton next
Monday. We suppose the subject of
county school tax will come before
the Court. If it does We hope the
Court will assess a tax large enough
to carry on the schools ten months in
the year, or not levy one cent. Let
US have schools which will reflect cred
it on the county, or give private
teachers chance to build up good
schools.

We arc glad to record that thirty
one people joined the United Friends

1t is TO be hoped that every one who
joined themselves to the Murphy

and continually lend their influence to
the cause they have espoused.
We regret to hear some of our cit
izens are in the habit Of attempting to
discourage all persons, who are think-
ing of settling in cur midst, from do
ing so, and they have, SO far, succeeds
ed in turning off several persons who
desired to embark in business in this
place. This has been done, doubtless,
without thinking Of the injurious ef-
fects upon the interests Of property
here. We should, by all means, in
vite and encourage an increase Of pop
ulation.

MARINE DISASTERS.

The great bar at the mouth Of the
Columbia river has been comparatively
free from disasters for the past two
years; but last week it was fssrfully
destructive to shipping. First came
the ship Leading Wind, outward bound
with a cargo of grain for the United
Kingdom. She struck on the treach-
erous sands, and was gotten of with
considerable damage, enough TO neces-
state the constant working of the
pumps. On Friday last the American
ship Nimbus struck on the bar while
attempting to 60 to sea. and became .
total loss; but luckily her crew were
all saved. She had on board at the
time Of her clearing from POrtlsnd.
5000 sacks of wheat, weighing AZ, SOS
centals. valued at fl9.724 los I'd,
equalling s9s. 622 "a par. The cargo
is owned by . Glasgow ship owner,
and is insured for 900, l20. - follows 4:
Union Marine Insurance Company. of
Liverpool, elO.O60; Maritime Insurance
Company. of Liverpool, 100000. The
ships Pilgrim and Aberstwyth Castle
were behind her. and both thumped
heavily as they passed her; but from
the fact that they Kept on their course.
the inference is that they were unin-
jured enough to allow them TO 60 to
San Francisco for the necessary repairs
This is one of the strongest aad most
urgent arguments in favor of the imme-
date construction of the railroad to
Wslls Walls. Apart from the fact that
grain from the Eastern counties can be
placed on shipboard more cheaply here
than q. Portland or Astoria. by bring.
ing ship and car together at the same
wharf, the dangers of the Columbia
river Lar are avoided by the deep and
cspacious harbors OF Puget Sound.
This is great commercial question in
which the whole grain.producing sec.
ton Of Washington Territory is most
deeply interested. We must not only
give the great East . cheap method of
shipment for its products. but we must
also afford safe channels CT egress to
the ocean, the worlds great highway of
commerce. This is an advantage which
Seattle possesses, and which will yet
make her the great emporium for the
vast grain garden which lies across the
Cascades. Nature has bequeathed her
this advantage, and her sdvaneement
as . commercial city is but manifest
destiny.

TEE LABOR AND CHINESE
QUESTION.

sss Cues Views ON tine rsFplsxinr
Propositions.
SAN Francisco, Jan. g., 1873.
The readers Of the SILVER STATE are
no doubt conversant with the main
features of the labor question In San
Francisco. The press devotes columns
to the subject daily. but so far there
has been no plan adduced by which the
knotty problem is to be solved. No
person can comprehend the true state
of affairs unless he attends one Of the
outdoor meetings. Think of it! on
Sunday last there were between six and
eight thousand men assembled near the
new city hall, a number nearly equal
to half the military force of the United
States. These men have there griev-
ances. though they are undoubtedly ex-
aggerated by their leaders. They are
men who, as class. have nothing to
loose and everything to gain. Their
minds are being SO fortified with incen-
diary speeches. that at no distant day
they will be prepared to defend their
position with their lives. Should this
be the case, what force could be
brought to bear to subdue them2 The
army is too widely scattered, the militia
itself is composed of workingmen, and
the Committee Of Safety would scarcely
attack an army OF ten thousand resoluts
men. In the face of these facts and
possibilities, property holders. capital
lists and officials are lying idle; not a
feasible proposition or suggestion has
beer made to avoid the coming storm.
In the meantime the Chinaman, the
meek and patient Chinaman. whom we
induced to come TO our shores to give
us cheap labor, that our manufacturers
might compete with their eastern
brethern; alas! he trembles with fear,
curses without number are heaped
upon his head, he is the object of their
wrath. as far as the Chinaman is con-
cerned, whenever he fails to find EN-.
ploymeDt here, he will seek it else
where. Il therefore requires no abro-
CATION of treaties. no special and costly
legislation to settle the question; the
fault lies With the employer. not with
the employed. SEE CUE.
