PORTLAND, Aug. 6.-The President of
the Chamber of Commerce Of this city
to-day sent the following telegram to the
Oregon delegation in Congress relative to
the alleged imperfections in the census of
this State:
Washington cast at her State election this year
RS,443 votes, and the census gives that Stale
SS9 900 population. Oregon cast at the State
election This year 70, 400 votes, and the census
should, 10 like ratio, give her population OF
ais, 800, while II gives only 264, 242. The glar-
ing political Injustice of the situation Is, that
while The smaller State OF Washington will get
Two members in The lower house OF Congress ana
DrOpOrliOnate power in The Electoral College, the
larger State OF Oregon Will get but one member
and a corresponding loss OF representation In The
Electoral College. Oregon protests against the
virtual dlsiranchlsemenL In nali0Ual and Con-
eresslunal elections for the next ten years grow
Ing out Of the bIunders of the Census Depart
ment, and appeals through you to the Secretary
Of The Interior for recount OF the entire Stale.

Precincts VIII Be Unable to Accommo-
date the Crowds.
A meeting Of the Executive Committee OF
the Republican County Committee was
held last night at headquarters in the Nu-
cleus Building, DR.. R. c. Myers presiding
The Board of Election Commissioners
having notified the public that it is not i'm
perative to register until the precincts are
ready for that purpose on October 10Th next,
1t was resolved to urge the desrability of
registering as quickly as possible at the
new City Hall, and thus prevent general dis
satisfaction in the muddle that must ensue
at the precincts il too many wish to register
within the five days granted.
EThere are 10000 people to register between
now and the 20th of October, and the Reg
istrar aud his corps of clerks are better
qualified to perform that work satisfactorily
than the necessarily less efficient clerks
that will be at the precincts. Proper regis
tration is very essential, and there are many
people who would feel sore If they are left
off the roll by their procrastination.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The exercises in con-
nection with the great triennial canton
ment of Patriarchs Militant, l. o. o. f.,
continue to-day. A spirited rivalry has de-
yelOped among the cantons which are
participating in the competition for valua-
Bile prizes offered. Early this morning a
number of cantons were out on lake front
and elsewhere industriously drilling, with
view to perfecting their work, and it is
safe to say that the bodies that carry off the
hOnors viii be compelled to show very high
degrees Of efficiency. More than ordinary
interest was manifested in the work of the
Rebekah Degree this morning, the atten-
dance being much larger than at any previ-
Gus session. Flora Lodge of Chicago opened
the session, and then America Lodge Of
Columbus, Ohio, exemplitied the work, and
was followed by Naomi Lodge of the same
city. Eden Lodge of Richmond, Indiana,
followed the other two.
There are numerous cases of friction de-
veloping in the Odd Fellows big canton
ment here. California and other Western
cantons say that they have not been
treated fairly in the matter of railroad
rates.

But 1t Must Be Very Wet, for They Have
Not Got It Yet.
When the schooner Mary E. Anderson
left this port two weeks ago under sealed
orders from Peter Gee, the capitalist, for
point on the Pacific Coast near Crescent
City, she confidently expected to return
with cargo of gold dust or gold coin. The
report is well founded that when the
steamer Brother Jonathan was wrecked up
there years ago she carried down with her
S2,000.000 in gold coin and currency, and
this has stimulated many active minds with
a desire to recover the treasure. None
Of these minds have been more
active than MIR. Gees and he is
determined to have that coin before he
dies, If he lives long enough. The Mary E.
Anderson Is owned by II. Crockard & Sons,
and Gee made arrangements with them TO
nj out the expedition. But, unfortunately,
storm arose; the vessel sprung leak and
IL required the united efforts of the divers
and crew to pump her out and bring her to
Fish Rock, where repairs having been
made, she loaded with wood and returned
to this city at very early hour yesterday
morning.
The Brother Jonathan still has her con-
Segment OF gold on board.

The Nevada City Herald, an av0wed or

ON the slickens questions:
We do not agree with the assertion that the
mining community stands ready TO knife any
candidate who has taken sides on the slick ems
question. The principal mining operators we
feel quite sure larDur no such feeling. The
question of empiying slicKens upon lands owned

miners themselves there can be found a large
majority who dselaim the right to 50 use their

To Recognize the Veterans.

In discussing the question Of the selection
of a candidate for Governor by the Repub-
licans the suggestion is made that the only
Union soldier ever rendered high place in
this State was Democrat. The soldiers,
as such, are not in politics, but there are
1900 of them in this State who are nearly
all Republicans. Colonel Markham and
General Chapman were both soldiers. and
this is being urged in favor of both. al
though the friends of the former deny that
they are urging that as claim.

at the resolutions passed on Monday night

ing an opprobrious term to the colored race
in his decision in the Gershom z. Jessup
case. They charge that il his decision he
calls them a degraded race. and in speaking
OF the individual colored witnesses. instead
of calling them by name, referred to them
as ''niggers." A close inspection of the de-
cisiOn, which is contained in the eighty-frst
volume of California Reports, shows, it is
claimed, that he made use Of the words
NEGRO" twice and 'colored' eleven times
in decision covering over seven thousand
words, and that investigation will fail to
discover any derogatory reference to the
cOlored race in any part Of the decision.
