Weaverville, December IA, 1878.

THIS Chinese question now under de-
bate is Troublesome, for although all
seem to be willing to do all they can to
abste and destroy the evil of numerous
Chinese among US, none appear to clearly
see how to do it, The power to abate
any evil in community ought to and
does lie somewhere, and while many con-
tend that it rests in the State, the greater
wherefore these greater number con-
slider that the hands of the State are tied
by the Federal laws and Constitution.
The debate shows how difficult i: is for
the State to deal with this subject in any
manner that is likelyts prove effective.
As a matter of necessity those who look
TO the State have to border closely upon,
if they do not positively affirm, the doc
trine Of States rights, and therefore it
has been said that the debaters who claim
the right Of the State to control in this
matter, have not heard Of the celebrated
trial entitled "Grant VS.. Lee" while
others say that they may have heard of
it, but do not think that it hos yet been
decided. Certain it is that by some
speakers the States right dsctrine is put
forth with great earnestness, but ii is
evident, we think, that large majority
of the Convention have no faith in that
mode of relief-Bee.

The CHINESE QUEsTIoN.-The Rail
road Question having beel thoroughly
ventilated in Committee Of the Whole
and provision fer the new Constitution
reported back to the Convention, the
Chinese Question came next in order.
Every member of the Convention Is re-
ported as willing and anxious 10 present
lis views on the subject in lengthy
speech, and a week or ten days will prob
ably elapse before this mummery is at an
end. What is to DO gained by such ex-
tended and extensive speech making does
not appear. There is practically but one
view of the Chinese Question on this
Coast, and its reiteration by 1852 men at
$40 per day will not strengthen that
opinion in the least. 1t is also pretty
generally conceded by competent per-
sons who have given the matter serious
consideration that it is not a subject for
State Constitutional provision but belongs
exclusively to the Federal Government,
and that Congressional action can alone
afford relief. But of course, the dsla-
gates will air their eloquence and hand
down TO generations yet unborn their
weighty views upon State Sovereignty
and all that sort Of thing just as long as
there is a probability of obtaining their
regular per diem. Surely that Consti :
tutional Convention is an expensive
luxury and not much ofa luxury either.

THE telegraph this morning states as
something unusually strange that Sena-
tor Blaine shook hands with Representa-.
tive Blackburn at the Mccullough ban
quet in Washington, amid vociferous
cheering. Why should Blaine not shake
hands with Blackburn, or Blackburn
with Blaine? True, these men are on
opposing sides, and each has said some
bitter tn ings, net of the other personally,
but of his views and political principles
But this to Blaine would not make Black
burn less worthy OF being grasped by the
hard offriendship, nor might Blackburn
think less of Blaine for saying what he
considered it his duty to say. If this
telegraph operator has ever seen a Cali
form ia Legislature, where members are
known to have browbeated and black
guarded each other and at recess nd
journ arm in arm to the basement TO
quaff glass Of sarsaparilla in unison, he
wsuld no: have thought this action on
the part Of Blaine in any way strange or
without precedont.-Bee.

MAGICIAN HELLER, having invented
numerous mechan ical and electrical
contrivances for the proper presentation
of his tricks Of magic, desires that no ono
shall have the benefit Of the children of
his SKI i'll now that he is dead, and gave
instructions IN his will that they should
ali be destroyed and beaten out Of shape.
Considering the small amount OF money
which he left for the benefit of his family,
ard considering also the goedly sum
which these wonderful contrivanees
might bring, il would have been a more
honest and manly course for him to have
left directions for their sale, the proceeds
to go to his wife and family. But then
Heller always was man who reveled in
mysterious doings and who loved motor

EDITORIAL JoTTINcS.

STATE PoLITIcs. The California elec.
tion, to occur in September next, bids fair
to be one Of the most important and ex-
citing that ever occurred in our State.
The evenly balanced power OF political
parties in Congress. and the probabilities
Of non-election of President by the
Electoral College in 1880, makes 1t posi-
BILE for the choice Of Chief Magistrate to
be decided by California's Congressional
Delegation. As this Delegation is to be
chosen at the next election, the impor-
tance Of that event is plain. What the
result will be, now seems wrapt in most
provoking uncertainty and every move
nent in the political arena assumes i'm
pertance. The Workingmen will doubt
less nominate a candidate in the First or
San Francisco District, end judging
from the result Of the last election in that
city, their chances for success are not
small. Indications also point to straight
Republican nominations in all the Dis
tricts, and the Democracy cannot we'll
afford to give up their organization, AL
though it will be greatly impaired by the
exodus ofso-cslled Workingmen. Should
the latter make nominations outside of
San Francisco it will be triangular
fight all around, with the chances largely
in favor of the Republicans. But it is
more probable that in the Second and
Fourth Districts the Workingmen will
endeavor to WELD their strength as the
balance of power and thus attempt TO
secure concessions from the two Old par
ties. In this District-the Third-it Is
likely that the Workingmen will not ex-
ert much influence, as they have but few
organizations and very little comparative
strength. While it is yet too early to
hazard prediction with any show Of cer-
tainty, the prospects are by no means dis
couraging 10 the Republicans. With
proper candidates and straight Republican
nominations for State and County officers.
our party should secure at least three, If
not the entire four, Representatives in
Congress.
