0rFSome of the witnesses called up in the
Liquor cases suddenly lose their memories.
They cannot recollect having drank anything
at certain hours, or even of having drank at all
since the Liquor Law went into force. Well,
we have heard of men who could not recollect
what they had done while properly tight, but
we never knew before men forget having
drank themselves into such position, or for
gotten they had drank at all. Query-If a
man swears he does not recoflect circum-
stance when he does recollect it, is he not as
guilty of perjury as if he sworc to any other
lie ?

How It Hannened.

& Every day something new turns up from
under the surface of affairs some new princi-
pie is developed, or the secret of some public
event made manifest. To the uninitiated and
superficial observer, men seem to ride into
power on the wheels 81 popularity, without
having any further claims on the good people
than that they are clever fellows, or as re-
sensible, discerning men, are astonished that
the body polite should allow itself so to be
gulIed. But the vital motive is generally hid
den. The people are unconsciodsly governed
by few shrewd men, and even candidates are
unwittingly subject to this subtle control. An
ambitious political scavengeri is thrust into some
minor office, holding position at about one
quarter the elevation of his aim, and his adj
mirers rejoice at his victory, but their triumph
gals him-his object is delayed
But to the point:-General Joseph Lane is
the delegate from Oregon to the United States
House of Representatives, and does the reader
know how to account for his being there :?
Does any one who knows him suppose for a
moment that seat in the House of Represen-
tatives as Terri torial Delegate would satisfy
ambitious Joe. Lane
Listen to the testimony of an Old Line
Democrat VINO, in 1852, was an ardent admiirer
and confidential friend of Lanes:
Says he, Joe. Lane Won't do to depend on.
If any expect to be remembered by him, after
he has ridden on their backs into station, let
them be undeceived.
seen. Lanes popularity in Oregon is not
what it is represented abroad to be.
Oregon will, in all probability at the next
session of Congress, knock for admission as a
State, and in the event of her success, she will
be entitled to two United States Senator'S
Some of the shrewd prQpfietaries looked lit
tie farther into the future than Lane did, and
foresaw this, and fearing also that ambitious
Joe Lane might lessen their chances for that
office, they insured his election as delegate, by
running against him the most unpopular man
they could select. And even then his majority
was barely three hundred.'' Thus Indiana's
pet has been disposed Of, and his wonted pro-
gress retarded by his own infatuated desire fol
