SENATOR MILLER of California
Is engaged in the preparation of
bill which he will introduce at
the present session of Congress to
further restrict Chinese immi-
grafton. The decision of the Su-
preme Court allowing Chinese
who were in the country at the
time of the enactmont of the
treaty Of 1880 to 60 and come at
their pleasure is, in Senator Mill
er's judgment, bound to open the
doors to the wholesale lmmigra-
ton OF Chinese who desire to
enter this country under the
stipulations of the treaty. The
Senator has a difficult task before
him. The Supreme Court has
ignored the intention of Congress
in the passage of the Restriction
Acts, and has declared officially
that Congress could never intend
to violate treaty. The effect of
this decision, of course, would be
to cause the defeat of any bill in
either House of Congress that
fatty proposed the violation of
treaty stipulations. Senator Mil
ler's task now is to draft a bill
that will prevent the return to
this country Of Cinnamon who
claim the right to do 80 under the
treaty stipulations without openly
expressing his intention to violate
the rights guaranteed to Cinnamon
by the treaty. No bill openly
proposing to violate treaty guar
antees will be approved by either
House of Congressa and it is doubt
full at this short session if any
eau be enacted to
further restrict the incoming of
Chinese. Senator Miller says
that for the present the people of
the Pacific Slope must rely upon
the careful Investigation of the
courts into all cases brought to
their knowledge, to prevent entry |
into the country of Cinnamon
who are not lawfully entitled to |
settle here.

The Old and the New Year.

The year 1884 is of the past,
and it admonishes us that we
have grown one year older and
one year less of existence and a
nearer approach to "that bourne
from whence no traveller returns"
Though we greet the New Year
with gladness and take advantage
of the event for merry making,
and for dancing aud for general
Notification and, in a measure.
forget the seriousness of life, the
event is frought with realities
that need our serious consider
alton. A realization that another
year has been added to the Cycle
of Time-for us wasted time per-
haps-gone from our grasp-op>
portunities lost to have grown
better and wiser, or to have done
some good deed Of kindness to
our neighbor or to our aged par
ents to cheer their footsteps as
they slowly wend their weary
way to the grave, is sad indeed
in the extreme. And at such
events indeed it is we'll to draw
lessons therefrom. The year
1885 has just been ushered in,
upon us and its future is before
us, as the future of 1884 was be-
fore us twelve months ago, and
we are.again required, if we fail
ed in the year past to do our
whole duty, now as men and
women, in every department Of
life, that no regrets on account Of
neglect of duty may loom up
before us, when at the end OF this
new year, (if we are so fortunate
as to be spared) we shall be again
called upon, by force Of duty, to
turn our attention to such SUBJ
jects. Let US profit by that which
has TRANSFERRED. Let our guide
for this year be "the lamp of ex-
perience," and thus "grow wiser
and better as life wears away"
There is no reason why we should
not be better at the end of 1885.
1t is within our power to accomp-
lish much if we only will, and if
we fail it will not be for the lack OF
opportunities, but because of our
own dire neglect. Let the new
year be a profitable one to US, and
let there not be any regrets to be
laid away with 1885 when it shall
become old as many of US proba-
BILE had with the year JUS past.

EX-GOVERNOR Leland STAN
ford. will probably be the next
United States Senator from Cali
fornia. 1t seems that a quiet
movement has been going on for
some time to induce Governor
Stanford to run for the Office of
United States Senator. As soon
as the idea was mooted, instead
OF howl of rage from the rabid
auti-monopoly newspapers, they
at once took up the suggestion
and said, in effect, that it was a
good one; that Governor Stanford
was an honorable and a just man,
and would represent the State
with more ability than any of the
other gentlemen, Ex-Governor
Perkins, A. A. Sargent or M. M.
Estee. We of Arizona shall be
pleased with either, but our pre-
ference is for Gov. Stanford.

The New Year.

With gold OF joys and with iron of sor-
rows,
Frightened and filed, shall the New
Year glide
Through storm and sunshine to new to-
morrows,
And unknown Ravens DER Times fierce
tide.
The bells for the dead Old Year are knsll-
ing,
But we drown them all in our lusty
cheer,
As the sails in the winds OF our hope are
swelling
Happy New Yearl
Oh, the breeze was bllthe, and golden
hearted
Were the old, sweet days ON the Old
Years deck,
But her sails were torn and her timbers
parted,
And slow she drifted and sank q wreck;
And many were saYed, and many went
under,
And shall feel no more life's kindly
breeze,
Nor wake again till the awful thunder
OF judgment thrills through the sway
ing seas.
With prayer for the dead and with glad
thanksgiving
For those who weathered the heavy
gale
Oh, with tears for the dead and thanks
for the living,
Ger the dread, wide waste again we
sail;
Though waves seethe white, and though
skies be colder,
May our hands and hearts be stout and
fast;
And Love, grown younger as we grow
older,
Be our Captain true till the voyage be
past.
Shall we ride at anchor in sunny h arbors
Or be swept in darkness to desolate
lands?
Or, spent with toll, in enchanted arbors
Shall we rest on lotos-fowery stands (?
A way, for the flushing dawn is waking
AS she feels on her cheek the free
winds breath;
CHEEKY, though none knows the course
we are taking,
Who shall land, or who sink in the
CULTS of death.
Pilot of Souls! though the broad earth be
riven
With grievous lightnings, though our
New Year bark
Be shattered by storms and by wild winds
driven,
Steer those we love by thine own sea
mark!
Master OF Life, whatsoever may befall Ms.
Save from the deep the true hearts we
hold dear,
For whom we implore, though Quick
death shall call US.
A Happy New YearI

The Question in the Lawton Case.
y. Y. Herald. /

y. Y. Herald
1t is reported that Attorney GeIer-
al Garland is preparing an opinion on
the question whether General Lawton
is eligible to the Office of Minister to
Russia, and it is further said that the
opinion will be that he is eligible. If
President Cleveland shall be advised to
this effect by his constitutional adviser
and if his own opinion shall accord with
that of the Attorney General he will be
warranted in acting on that view of the
constitution by making the appointment.
But the question Is one OF no little
Importance, and is involved in so much
doubt that it can be settled only by the
United States Supreme court and 1t
may be safely said that not even the
Judges of the tribunal will agree in de
Gliding it.
General Lawton was pardoned by
President Johnston prior to 1865 Tor
participation in the rebellion. The
effect of pardon at that time has been
considered in several cases by the federal
Supreme Court One of the most
important opinions on the subject Is
that of the Court in the case of the
present Attorney General. Mr.. Garland
had been admitted to practice in the
United states Supreme Court IN 1860.
From 1861 to the fall of the Confeder-
acy he was member of the Confederate
Congress In July 1865, he received a
a full pardon from President Johnston.
By an act of Congress passed before the
pardon was granted he was barred from
appearing As a counsellor in the Supreme
Courts That Court held the pardon
paramount to the act of Congress and
that it relieved the petitioner from
all penalties and disabilities. The
d rdoning power vested in the Presl-
dent" said the Court, SIS unlimited,
cases of impeachment alone being
excepted. 1t extends to every offence
known to the law. 1t is not subject to
legislative control. Congress can neither
limit the effect Of the pardon nor exclude
/ from its exercise any class of offenders
A full pardon RENTS the punishm emf
and blots out of existence the guilt. Ii
removes the penalties and disabilities
and restores the offender to all his civil
rights. 1t makes him as it were, new
man and gives him new credit ana ca
I pacity.'
Then came the fourteenth amendment
j Ii was adopted alter 0enerai Law eoAi
pardon was granted. 1t bars from
| Office every person of prescribed class
1 who took part i'll the war against tht
United States. "But Congress may, oy
a vote OF two-thirds Of each House re
move such disability" There is nc
question that the pardoning power
of the President may be controlled by
constitutional amendment. Politica
disabilities removed by executive par
don may be reimposed by such amend
ment. Was it the intention, is it tht
Il effect Of the fourteenth amendment, Il
Happily to all persons who had incurred
disabilities, or only to those who's
disabilities had not been removed
This is the questionin the Lawton case
1t is a question that the Supreme Cour
has not decided and one on which constr
tutional lawyers will differ.
