ed OF Congressman George of Oregon,
an after hearing his arguments there
Oh have thus far agreed TO insert the

We NOTICE disposition on the part Of
the Republican press Of the State to
try TO brosi disc jrd in tho Dsmo,ratic
ranks by insinuating that the Grover
wing Of tho Dam ocrotic party got away
with everything in tho last Convention.
This dodge won't win. Wo have nSver
seen m)re hlrm jnioug convention
than that held in Portland on April 9Th.
There was neither Grover nor 1'hay-
er "Wing" in II. II was largely oom-
posed Of young men who did not feel
disposed TO shoulder Tho record Of any
one man or rot Of men. All th9y wish.
cd was TO secure harmony in the party,
and tho proceedings Of tho Convention
shows thoy were successful. Hon. Jos.
$. Smith has not bco1 connected ia the
least with politics in this STATE for l2
or ! years anil cannot trut'ifully be
charged with repressnting tbs Grover
faction. His oompotitor befots tho
Convention Was Geo. NJ. S.rsud, aud

suffered bis name to remain before the

caived votes from the Linn County del
egation. and evory ono knows tha. Old
Linn haa always becn classed as = Grow

Republicans Of the Pacific Coast
w5n'C own Arthur on the Chinese ques
ton. How can they divide him
lie is either thsir President, or be is
not. They cannet claim to be Repnb-
licaas and not claim Arthur. IIo rep
resents the Repahlicaus east Of the
Rocky mountains, who say that they
can give up the Pacific States but not
the principle invelsed in tho veto mes
sage. 1t il not 4 question OF ten OF
twenty years with Arthur ard them, ii
is as Arthur says-"'if there are too
maay Chinese OH the Pacific Coast,
send them to other parts distribute
1hem, but let them come. lie says
they built the Pacific railroads and
brags over il. But ho ~ They worked
for less than white men, ana tse profits
of their labor went into the hands oI
the company of four or five men. The
road was built no cheaper to the gov.
ernment, and Arthur knows il. In,
stead of white laborers by thousands
receiving the money pail by govern.
ment to build these roads, it went into
the hands Of heathen at reduced wages
And the difference in labor went to
enrich those who have never kept faith
with the government that paid for
building these roAls. We might as
well say that tbs Republican party
would not have Arthur far Prssi dent
if Chinaman could be found to take
his place. We feel that it would be
an improvement, as it would bring the
question to an immediats issue, while
now we must drag it along with slow
political pace. But this coast viii be
.oliSly Democratic or solilly heathen.
There is no fence to sit on.

GOOD NEWS

The following dispatch was received
at the Office Of the Oregon Pacific Rail
road Company at Corvallis last We'd
nesdsy:
EgS Yora April, 18th, 1882.
10 wm NJ Hoog:
The bill creating collection district Of Yaquiua
passed tho House today unanimously ~ passed the
r. ED0gRTos Hoso.
This is q most unmistakable rocog-
milton by Congress OF tho importance
Of tho work being carried On by the
Oregon Pacific Railroad Co. Now
that this bill has passed and we have
every reason TO believe that at least
800, 900 will be appropriated by Con-
gress for work on the YaquIna bar,
no ono can doubt that the Orc
gon Pacific will soon give
tho willamette Valley another
outlet. And we do not sec now
Why tho 0 = II II cannot have tho
full suppott Of the entire people Of
Oregon. Tho NorthernI Pacific Rail
road, by tho publication Of their new
circular and map, boldly announce
that Tacoma will be their western
terminus. Their line passes direct
from Ainsworth north OF the CoIHm-
bla 10 that city, and Portland Is left
away Of TO the south. This change
OF the western terminus Is madeNon
account Of Tacoma's advantage rs
deep water shipping point, and Port
land Is left in the shade. The peo-
ple OF Oregon should now uniledly
support tho o + RR and thus
assist 10 opening an Oregon port to
Oregon shipping.
While speaking on this subject we
might also say tSat work will begin
in earnest next week on tho Oregon
raciic. Fully 800 Chinese will be al
work by the last Of this msnth, and
agents are now in Portland engaging
1000 moro. J II Bugbee, OF San Fran.
cisco, TO whom has been let the con-
tract OF cutting tho three tunnels,
will begin work next week, and Will
finish by August lsf. Hs built the
tunnels on the n. Il. G. X. II. In Cali.
fornia, and many others, and Is known
as rusher. Passenger coaches, bag
gage and express cars have been
shipped from New York via Panama
and the material will now arrive al
Yaquina Bay as fast as vessels car
bo chartered to do work.

IT makes no difference whether
Arthur yetoos tho new Chinese bill
or not, the position OF the Republican
party on this momontous question Is
now known. The members Of the
party on this Coast are not In accord
with their Eastern brethren, but are
IN their power. The eastern Repub-
licans who arc In favor Of enacting
laws preventing European labor from
competing with cur New England
manufacturers, arc Lot in favor Of
laws 10 prevent the Mongo,ian slaves
from competing with our poor West
cru laborers. Ii certainly will not
take long for any thinking man 10
mako up his mind rs TO which party
he should unite with.

THE OREGON rACIFIC.

This week, says the Corvallis Gasstte
has marked an important stage in the
progress of the work. The contracts
for the three tunnels between Corvallis
and Yaqaina have boeu let to Mr.. j. A.
Bugbec Of San Francisco. The lengths
of the two tunnels on the descent from
the Summit into the Yaquina valley arc
750 aud $50 feet, and that just below
Mr.. Napp's house 600 feet. The work
is to begin within two weeks from
signing the contracts and the tunnels
and approaches have all to be completed
by the end of July next. From Mr..
Bugbee's we'll known character as an
energetic and capable contractor we
have no doubt that this portion of the
work will be got through well on time.

, 1882-05-03

looking a few days ago to the British
Guiana pocket-book of the present
year, fird that it includes many OF
the same names, showing me that
either they or their descendants are
still prosperous members Of the colo
ny. Hear, hear, Ny lord, | have
referred to this subject with a very
special reason. When the late Lord
Derby, the predecessor of your lord
ship at the Colonial Office, was in
power, we had frequent interviews
with him on the subject Of immigra-
ton from China, which he was at
first disposed to regard favourably.
Indeed, so far had the arrangements
gone that a suitable vessel was got
ready, and, more than that, a suita-
Bile captain-a gentleman who knew
India well, and who was in every
respect admirably qualified for the
post. | cannot imagine that Chinese
immigration could have been com-
menced under better auspices. At
the last moment, however, it was
reported that a certain Chinese law
forbad the emigration of Chinese
women, and that if This portion OF the
scheme were attempted we should
come into collision with the Chinese
Government. T%hereupon the matter
was abandoned, because we declined
to be parties TO a male immigration
alone. CLEAR, heart. Your lord
ship is aware hat the Chinese have
since gone to the colony of Deme-
rara and that they have done
well there. VIII not dwell upon the
causes which l consider have render
ed that immigration less successful
than it might otherwise have been.
But we do know that a large female
emigration is possible we do know
that there are large districts in China
still SO densely populated that female
children are not permitted to live,
and l do hope that if we should sue
ceed in again maaing arrangements
for carrying Chinese to Dcmerara the
Colonial Office and the Foreign Office
will render us thrir best assistance
to make that immigration a success.
Hear. hear. Formy lord and gentle
men, it is NOT with the Chinese as with
the Portuguese, a mere matter of i'm
provement in the physical condition ;
we know for a fact that many of the
Chinese who have gone to Damerara
have become Christians, and, to their
honour be it SAID, they have by their
own means and their own efforts
raised up their own Christian church,
Therefore, in encouraging Chinese
immigration, we may truly say that
we carry them not only from starva-
ton to plenty, but from heathelism
to Christianity. [iiear, hear. Now
this brings me to the most i'm
portant consideration. The divine
command to man to go forth and
multiply, to ~replenish the earth and
subdue ii, was not a dead letter to
the people of this country, 1t
is true that both by tradition
and the facts Of the hour we are the
great c|olonists of the world, and we
should always bear the thought with
deep thankfuIness in mind that it
seems to be the special mission of our
country-men to lay the foundations
