SECEssION!-It is about settled at Washing
ton that the President will veto the bill recent
" passed by congress to restrict Chinese I'M
migration. In that event, according to the
San Francisco Daily St0ck Reporter, the people
of California will raise the banner Of secession
That journal lets itself out as follows:
This is a most critical time in the history OF
California Whether there Is to be 6lOodshed
and anarchy in our fair state, rot lnccnular-
Ism. and murder; whether our green felds are
to be blackencd and our garden spot laid waste !;
or whether rather than incur these drcadful
evils. we shall calmly in the end all other re
snlts having failed, meet and sever our connec
ton with the national confederation making
laws for our preservation and the preservation
of our chldrcu's heritage, the events OF the neA
two DAYS may terminate. Already slch Il
dread possibility rs secession from the Union,
in the event of our failure to obtain the renet
we demand from the Chinese cvll, Is broadly
talked of in hirh circles. The East has utterly

The state of Georgia, for three or four years
after the surrender Of Lee, enjoyed the bless
ings of rcpublcancarpctba rule, but sur
feiting of its sweets rcapsed into quasi rebel
lion, expelled its truly loil" rulers, and gave
itself over to the domination of the traitOrous
democracy And now what do We see? To
such an extent has the accursed corruption and
extravaganza of democratic rule wrought upon
the credit Of that unhappy state that the Wall
street gold sharks have made 1t the peculiar
object Of their hcllish designs selecting 1t as
the only state IN the Union to which they are
loanng money at per cent interest. And the
rascally coppcrhead officials of Georgia, to con.
Ccal their ncfarious schemes and the exhausted
condition OF the treasury, have adopted
the miserable subteriugc OF paying their obi
cations before they fall due. such are the fatal
results of ovcrthrowing the government of the
|carpctbagger, by the carpetbagger and for the
|carpctbagger, and substituting in MS place a
system which has no noblcr aim than making
both ends meet.

The conference at Washington on Saturday
of the rreenbackers elected to the next con-
gress cast somewhat unpleasant damper on
their claim of having enough members to con-
troll the election of speaker. OF the twenty
two members they claim less than dozen at
tended the conference. To make up the twenty
they include such men as Wright OF Pa, Ack-
len of La, Tom Ewing, &c, none of whom
have the remotest idea of training with the ma
tionals. Then the action in the house on the
bill to repeal the resumption law, showing a
large majority in the negative, had a visibly
effect on the ardor of the ma
tionals.

THE INDIANS,

ANOTHER INDIAN MASSACRE. Ever since
the end of the "Bannock War; in Idaho last
summer there had been IA band of Struggling
Indians, made up Of Snakes, Paycttcs, Ncz
PcrCcs, &C. who infested the Salmon river
country and were constantly annoying the set
tiers by running oil stock and occasionally
taking scalp. The settlers about the lower
Weiscr finally organized themselves into mil.
itary band and concluded to start out on hunt
for Indians. Some three weeks ago they sue.
Paycttc, where, awaiting II favorable opportu-
nifty when all the Indians were in camp and
not in the least suspcCting the presence of the
white men, the latter suddenly surprised and
attacked the camp, killing thrty-siX Indians
and allowing but two or three of the whole band
to escape. On examination of their bodies
many were identified as Indians who had been
fed by the settlers at their houses before the
Bannock war, who then protested great friend.

President Green, of the W, |. Telegraph
Company, has written letter to cXoncratc his
predecessor, the late William Orion, from the
charge which the New York SIN and other
had made against him, Of collision with o. T.
Morton and other republican politicians in
subsequently destroying all the 5000 dispatch
es relating to the presidential frauds Of 1876
except the two or three hundred only that were
supposed to bear against Tildcn and his friends
and which are known rs the cipher dispatch
es" The upshot of President Green's state
mcnt is that President Orion surrendered the
dispatches on both the subpoena Of the Senate
(or Norton and house Tor Morrison) commit
tee, and that the agreement was that both com.
nlittees should use the dispatches interchange.

That may and undoubtedly does acqut Mr.
Orion of the charge of collision, but Of course
in no wise changes the other disgraceful fact
that after the dispatches were placed in the
hands of o. Z. Morton and his republican con.
ireres MortonS henchman Bullock Ovcrhauled
