TEST OF LOYALTY.

Loyalty is defined by the Republi.
can State Commute to moan an ''hon
est support of the "National Admin
istratinn." Mr.. Dawes, a Republican
member Of Congress, says:
"It took four horse contracts, each
for one thousand horses, to settle the
political feuds of the Republicans of
Pennsylvania and every one Of these
contracts cost the Government $780,
O0O-$400,0OO in ALL
These Pennsylvania horse contrac-
tors give the Administration an 'ho,,-
est support" and are therefore loyal
according to the test laid down by the
committee, but nevertheless they are
extremely dishonest towards the people,
and the best interest of the country.
Perhaps they will try to remedy this
when they meet in Convention, by
passing resolution deuouncing "cor-
ruption," then support the party that
has perpetrated the outrages. Extreme
Republican leaders have a strange
idea of loyalty--Morgan they regard
as loyal, though he filched only about
$140,0Oo-Lieb is very loyal, he got a
100000, and Cameron is more 10y
al, he managed to steal $50 100000
these men all honestly support the
"National Administration Morgan
and Lieb arc contractors, and Cameron
Minister to Russia. The people may
sweat aid groan under the load of tax
cs levied upon them to make up the de-
fciency stolen from the Government -
They may enlist and fight for the main
tcnancc of the Constitution, and the
perpetuity Of tho Union they may Of:
fer their lives upon the altar of their
country, still it would seem the only
test of loyalty nowadays is an Sion
est sapport' of the National Admin.

THE Fourth IN New OREGON
In accordance With the programme an
nounced was held the celebration of our
National Anniversary to the satisfac-
ton Of oil parties in attendance. The
day was unusually unfavorable, the
wind blowing so iercely as to render it
impossible to hear any portion Of the
exercises except when standing within
. very few feet Of the speaker. The
Grafton delivered by H. A. Goodrich
Esq, was an unusually fine production.
The crowd in attendance was from l..
600 to 1900. We noticed people from
.Chickasav, Mitchell, Winnesheik and
Howard counties, and from Fillmore,
end Mower counties, MINI.
Tue exercises in the evening not
w,thstanding an accident by which {
large proportion Of the Ere. works were
destroyed, we're beautiful and interes
ting in the extreme, while the cotillior
party was one Of the gayest Of the sea
aoo ~tae supper sic.a and abundant.

THE TEST.
err =.

None but traitors pirate about con.
stituti,nal guran.ees," says Ben Wade
of Ohio. The Inference is, then, that
none but loyal men attempt to override
the Constitution. The abolitionists are
all loyal, then, according to their OWE
definition, and the southern FIRE eaters
also. Neither. of the factions pretend
to have any regard for constitutional re
strain:s. The test will trouble its in.
yentors.

cannonading was heard at Harrison's

tal.
At last adviccs, Vicksburg was be-
ing vigorously bombardcd by the fleets
of Farragut, Davis, and Porter, and
several thousand negroes were engag-
ed in digging canal across point Of
land opposite the city, the effect Of
which latter operation will be, by chan
ging the bed Of the river, to place
Vicksburg in an inland position. The
probabilities are that the city has ere
this fallen into our possession, and the
Mississippi, COZ sequently, been entire
" regainsd to Federal control.
There are rumors at Washington of
contemplated changes in the Cabinet !;
and is thought that such change, in
the case Of the Secretary of War at
least, is not improbable. The rcmov-
al of Stanton would be measure that
would be heartily applauded by the
great mass Of the Unionloving men Of

moval will be made.

Gen. Meade, of Pa, was severely

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THURSDAY, Sept. l8-6 p. \

THURSDAY, Sept. l8-6 p. NJ
The money market is very easy indeed. Money
is offered everywhere at per cent. The deposits
at at the Sub Treasury rose to-day to $l6O 600,
and the certificates of public indebtedness to 80
per cent. First class mercantile names, which are
very scarce indeed, are quoted at per cent. De-
mand notes are worth lllH az.
Gold and exchange continue to fuctuate active
ly. On the cheerful news contained in this morn
ing's papers, gold declined to ll6A. and then to
l16H. Later in the day some of the spectators
who operate in gold made the most Of the nom
receipt Of dispatches from Mcclellan, and bid it
up to 1l71I "a. Exchange opened this morning
rather dull at 1885, but in the afternoon none Of the
leading drawers were willing to sell below 1921.
The price of bills is now made to depend on the
price of gold. Gold Huctuates more actively than
the most active stock, and in the street no quota
tion can be relied upon for more than five minutes
Persons wishing to buy gold should do it at the
board through responsible broker.
We have to report q further advance in quota
tions, as might have been expected in view of the
victories won by the Army Of the Potomac and the
seemingly desperate condition of the rebel cause.
At the opening stocks were all higher, and there
was an active demand for the speculative descrip-
tions. About noon the ncws Of the capture Of
Longstreet's division was received and this caused
a further advance. At the second board there
was some pressure to sell, and some leading ope
rators, made uneasy by the non-receipt of oficial
dispatches from General Mcclellan, began to take
a moderate short line. Under these influences the
market declined "a a per cent all round. Erie
preferred, which is the most popular stock with
spectators just now, opened at TAX, an advance
Of "a per cent since last evening, steadily to
7G, then fell back to IS, closing at 75M bid. Eric
old, which closed at 40M yesterday,
touched 42% to-day, but closed at 4lM.
The other railway shares fuctuated in the
same manner, but not to the same extent They
all show an advance of "a a per cent over yes
terday's closing price, though they did not close
to-day within "a per cent of the best prices Of the
morning. Government securities were in better
demand. Coupon skies of 1881 were n higher
than yesterday; 7.so Treasury notes II higher.
Bonds continue steadily to appreciate. The first
class bonds Of the Erie, Central Harlem and Hud-
son never were as high in our market as they are
at present; and the lower priced class Of bonds,
such as the Pittsburg and Fort Waynes and the
Chicago and Northwesterns, are likewise steadily
advancing. Pacific Mail is much neglected.; no.
thing more is heard of the opposition, which the
friends of the company do not seem to fear. At
tho close to-day the market was unsettled, the
following being the last quotations
