The California Democracy-The Chi
neSe

After twenty years Of experiment
both parties in California are committed
to the extirpation of the Chinese curse.
Indeed it is the Aaron's rod Of politics
in that State, swallowing up and absorb
ing other issues. The Democratic State
Convention in session on the Dist June,
adopted the following resolution On that
subject, reported by u Committee of
which Hon. David S. Terry, (by the
way a former Mississippian) was Chair
man
Res9lrcd, That the Chinese now in Cali.
fornia are an unmixed curse to this people,
their presence an ever-increasing evil, threat
ening to block every avenue Of labor and
every branch of trade, and, so long as they
remain, will continue to be an insurmOunt-
able barrier in the pathway Of California
toward the high destiny for which nature
has so amply equipped her that, in view Of
this condition, We confidently appeal to the
Democracy of the Union for our deliver.
ance, and claim as one Of the first duties Of
the party that the next Presidential Con.
Venti1n OF the Democracy snail declare the
doctrine of sel-preservation the highest
law of nature and Of nations upon this sub
iect, as upon all others, and the Govern.
ment Of the United States then placed un
der Democratic administration will indicate
its just appreciation Of the imperious neces
sites Of the people Of California, by provid
ing such certain and speedy means as may
be deemed most just and proper for the re
moval of every MongOlian from this coun
try, and to the accomplishment of this end
we hereby pledge to the people u earnes
and persistent efforts, inviting every citizen
Of this State who has the commonwealth al
heart, whatever his present or previous po
litical utilization, to lend the aid of his per
sonal support as a freeman toward strength
ening the right arm Of the Democratic part,
of the Union, whose fidelity has been proven
for the early and perfect accomplishment o
this great work.

Contested Election Case of Buchan.
an VS.. Manning.

-
The Waterford Express gives the fol-
lowing, as the report of the Committee
on Elections, to whom was referred the
above entitled contested election case of
the Second Congressional district of
Mississippi having had the same under
consideration, in their conclusion say:
"In reaching a decision in this case we
have not been compelled to rely on the evil
dence Of the partizan friends of contestee or
contestant alone, but largely upon the tes-
timony of the GreeabackeTs, who are men OF
intelligence and high standing, as appears
by their evidence. In conclusion, while we
are morally certain from the general tenor
of the evidence before us, that the contes-
tant was grossly defrauded in the election,
and while We have no doubt but that be
could have proved a clear title to a seat in
Congress, we are compelled to say that be
has not made out that proof by proper legal
evidence. We know the labor, expense and
experience required to disclose frauds care
fully concealed. but we do not feel justified
in departing from the rules of evidence 81
far as to seat the contestant. We are how
ever, fully satisfied that there was no lega
election in the I'd District of Mississippi
and that the contested should not longer b.
permitted to retain a seat which is covered
over with fraud. Therefore, we recon-
mend the adoption of the following resolu
ton
ResoIusd, That George NJ. Buchanan i
not entitled to a seat in the FortY-seventl
Congress.
Resolued, That Van II. Manning is no
entitled to a seat in the Forth-seventh Con
gress, from the Second Congressional Dis
trict of Mississippi"
To say the least of it, this is a very
absurd report-a lame and impoten
conclusion. 1t must necessarily follow
that if one of the candidates was no
elected, the other must have been. TIL
reasonable inference is that if the part
zan committee could not muster courag
enough to claim the seat for Buchanan
it must have been fairly won by Mar
| ming.

THE National Board OF Health is in bad
odor with the Appropriation Committee of
Congress, who, distrustful of the Boards
wisdom or ability to take care of money,
have so arranged the current appropriation
that 800, 900 of the amount is to be placed
in the hands Of the President, in the event
of an epidemic making its appearance. The
Committee positively refused to increase
the $4,000 appropriated to aid State
Boards of Health to 5000, and say that
the National Board people should thank
their stars that shey have gotten as much
as they have. At one time the Committee
came near cutting the Board off with a
shilling. The expenditure of So, 1000 or
such 2 matter on the junketing steamer
Benner several years ago and similar wastes
have doubtless been reported to the Appro-
p%riation Committee.-Memphis Ledger.
(The narrow-minded course which
has been pursued from the beginning
in reference to the important matters
with which the National Board is re.
CURED to deal, is very much to be
regretted.)
