NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

mored, almost soon he had commenced the dis
charge of his functions Governor of Oregon. and
long before the term Of his commission had expired
The Auditor will have served out The full term for
which he elected and will stand in the
attitude as any other citizen Even if there were a
wing majority in the Legislature, the claims of the
present Auditor for reelection would be better than
those of any other good wing equally well qualified;
and it will not be pretended by any body, think,
that he has any stronger claims upon the democrats
than he has upon the wings.
Again: Lane was remored or turned Ogi of his
Office, in the face and eyes of the repeated and solemn
pledges Of Taylor and the Taylor leaders, from Crit
tenden and Clayton down, that such prescription
should be Practised. The Democrats lave never been
gully of such fasehood and hypocrisy; and because
condemn such infamous baseness, it is evidence
of Inconsistency in us. We have never blamed the
wings for promoting of their faith to Office;
but only because Of their treachery and frauds.
We said that Taylor deserved a coat of and
feathers, not for the removal of Gen. Lane, but
for the moUipg of that removal, which
nothing more less than mean-spirited, owlived
revenge for supposed personal affront We don't
who the man is, nor whether he be a wing or
democrat if he make use of the power and preroga-
tive conferred upon him by election to Office for the
purpose OF infcting wanton injury upon his real
supposed personal enemies and for the Cutting Of
private luminosity and revenge, he abuses and dis
graces the Office he holds, and the people who elected
him. Any man guilty of such flagitious prostitu-
ton of power, should if possible be turned neck and
heels out Of Office and kicked after he was out from
end of the country the other.
Ct%Tbe above remarks will also answer the LO-
gunsport Telegraph, well the Perrysvile Eagle.
The SCHOOL LAw.-An intelligent friend has call
ed attention fact in relation the late school
law, and the vote of Marion county at the August
election upon the same, which is important. 1t
raises the question whether the law 90 into ope-
ration in this county; and the law and the facts seem
determine that it cannct
The 3ls section of the act of last winter requires
that there shall be majority Of those roting or in
other words majority of the whole number of votes
given in county, to make the law go into effect.
As it is a matter of some interest," give the entire
section, as follows:

If this be the proper construction of the section
the law must remain imperative until another annual

CONSUL AT PARIs.-The Washington correspon-
dent of the Journal of Commerce writes as follows:
Mr.. Goodrich, who is popularity known as Peter
Farley, is at this moment strongly urged upon the adj
ministraton the successor Of Robert Walsh in the
Partisan Consulate. There would appear to be con-
nexiOn between this fact and the editorial dcnuncia-
