SLAVERY IN SACRAMENTO.
A Chinese Woman Held in servitude
and Married by Force.

In Sacramento, Cal, recently case was
tried which brought to light an actual case
Of slavery. A Chinese woman, rather pref
tier than the average Of her sex, was charged
with larceny and the investigation devel-
oped the fact that she had ran away from
her "ownern and took refnge in the house
Of her lover. To regain her an agent of the
owner swore out the warrant charging
her with stealing money. Great din
Guilty was experienced in securing the
prosecuting witnesses, and the woman
was too much startled to expose
the barbarous trafilc. Her owner,
a big Chinaman, denied that he had pur-
chased her or that she was his slave, aud
the Judge Of the court where the case was
tried fixed her bail at $4,000 to insure an
investigation. Her owner proved the
charge, however, and bailed her out. A
marriage license was procured, and tho
woman was made to marry one OF the
owners agents, thus defying American
laws. and putting quietus on the source
Of evidence.

RoBBING A TERRITORY.
Hemonstrance Against n Bill Which
Would Annihilate Idaho.

Senator Harrison presented memorial
Of citizens Of Idaho territory demonstrating
against the passage Of the House bill for
the annexation Of that part Of Idaho terri
tory known as the panhandle" to the ter
ritory Of Washington. This is printed
document, bearing numerous written sigma
lures, and II represents that In mass
meeting the people, irrespective OF politics,
passed resolutions urgently demonstrating
against the passage Of this bill (which was
recently pressed through the House OF Rep
resentatives). The memoriolists say:
We believe that II is but the preliminary
step TO the total humiliation Of Idaho as ter.
rltory. Washington territory now has an area
Ofover COCO square miles, and Idaho an area of
$1,000. By the enactment OF this odious bill,
should II become n law, Washington would be
increased in area TO over 100000 square miles.
and Idaho reduced TO about 10000 We would
be deprived of more than onC.third of our pop
ulation and Of our wealth and taxable prop.
etty. our people arc contonted aud
happy, and look forward to the time when our
population Will cntitle us to admission as n
state into the Union. Not, believing, here
have remained quiet and not lmportuned
Congress on the subject, nor have we held con.
Stitutional conventions under the management
and geneTalship of politicians, or Of anybody
to solicit at your hands what VIC were patriotic
at present entitled to. The only
excuse for the flual enactment of the bill in
question, is that Washington territory desires
to be admitted rs n state, and unless she can
rob Idaho of over one.thrd of her area and
wealth. thereby securing additional popula-
ton, which, 1t is thought, would give Wash
ington some ground for admission, she must
remain longer in territorial condition.
We believe that every territory should
stand on its own merits, population, and re.
its people, when seeking admission rs q state
and not attempt to rob u neighborlng territory
OF any portion Of It's population, area, or 70.
While the passage Of said bill would aid Wash.
ington materially, even If not politically, Il
would be death blow TO Idaho. and we claim
equal recognition with Washington of our
rights and interests at the hands of Congress

EXPORT TOBACCO BILL.
for Export Manufactures
ana Drawback on Manufacturers


Providing for Export Manufactures
ana Drawback on Manufacturers
Articles.
The Hou6e committee on ways and means
yesterday directed favorable report to be
made Oh Mr.. Wiae's bill authorizing the
establishment Of export tobacco manufac-
tories and providing for drawback upon
imported articles used in manufacturing
exported tobacco. Later In the day the
bill was reported to the House. The bill
provides that section 3i33 OF the Revised
Statutes and the provisions Of the act Of
May %, 1850, exemptng materials used In
the preparation Of cosmetics, medicines,
cordials, &C., intended forexport from pay
ment OF any tax, shall be applicable TO to-
bacco exported from these manufactures,
and that the same drawback shall be allowed
to manufacturer who shall use sugar or
molasses in his export tobacco mandatory
upon which an import duty has been paid
that would be allowed under existing laws
TO person exporting the same, such draw
back to be allowed and paid as now pro-
vided for by law. The bill further provides
that exports Of manufactured tobacco not
produced in export tobacco manufactures
shall be entitled to a drawback of 30 per
centum Of the duty paid upon such imported
articles as arc actually used In the manu-
facture of such exported tobacco, upon such
evidence and under such regulations as
shall be prescribed by the Secretary Of the
Treasury.
Mr.. Harris, in his report to the House
recommending the passage of the bill, says
At the present time more than 100000
pounds OF manufactured tobacco per nnnum
nre exported from this country. IL also ap.
pears that in this manufacture. large quaint
ties of sugar, licorioc, llcorlce paste, rum, al
cohol, and other articles are used upon which
custom duties or, internal revenue taxes are
levied and collected by the United states
These duties and taxes add so materially to
the cost of manufacture that American manu-
facturers find themselves at great disadvantage
in foreign markets in competition with manu-.
facturers of other countries, who arc relieved
from such duties and taxes.
The committee has therefore reached the
conclusion that II will be wise to relieve
American manufactured tobacco exported to
foreign countries from this burden as n means
of stimulating and increasing our foreign trade
in this important article of manufacture. Tx.
tracts ore appended from the report of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury fnyoring the general
object OF the BILL and saying that there seems
TO be no obstacle in tho way OF its execution.

scnUErzEN FEST ONCE MORE.
A Revival of the Popular Annual Gath.
ering of Germans Decided Upon.

The German citizens have, after lapse
Of good many years, decided to revive
the scheutzen fest, which at one time was
an important celebration in this city. OF
late years the custom has been allowed to
decline. The Washington scheutzen vereln
was kept alive, however, and last night
held a meeting for the purpose Of discuss
ing the ACCESSIBILITY Of holding one of the
old.timo tests. The meeting was at
tended by the representative Ger
man citizens, members Of the verein,
and canvass revealed the fact that all Of
them favored the holding Of public fest.
The situation was talked over at length,
and II was finally decided to hold five
days fest, beginning on June II. The
festival will be extended TO national pro-
portions. The leading rifle companies of
the country will be invited to compete for
prizes worthy OF attention and skill, and
all the characteristics which made the
former tests so successful will be revived,
and the fest will To one that will be the
most brilliant ever held here,

Wednesday night at his residence, during which
general exchange of views on financial ques.
tions took place. The conference did not have
relation to particular measures, but was de.
voted rather to statement OF fucts and

The principal subject of discussion was as to the
best means to keep silver ont in circulation as
long as possible treasurer Jordan favored
making the banks the circulating agency in.
stead Of the treasury. He thought this would
