ence Of many witnesses, deliberately spit upon
it, in attestation of her love of treason and
hatred of loyalty. Better for her had she
never been born. Fortunately for her she
has no heirs upon whom to bequeath her dis
grace. By this act she has removed that
sanctity that should ever surround the char

that has thus dared insult our sacred flag
None other than the wife of the President of
the Muscatine Democratic Club! This is a
little of the fruit of HIS political doctrines.
Readers, you will have an opportunity to re-
buke this insult at the polls, on Monday next,
by repudiating the nominee of the Democratic
Club. Will you not do its

INsURANcE.-The advertisement of the Man.
haitian Fire Insurance Company, of New
York City, may be found in its appropriate
place to-day. This company is one of the old
est and most reliable ones IN the country,
having been Incorporated in 1921. Since its
incorporation, it has borne an excellent repu-
tation among merchants and business men
generally, who have evidenced their apprecia-
ton of the straightforward course pursued
by the officers and directors and their opin-
ion of its soundness by their patronage. The
statement of its finances show healthy con-
dition. 7. D. Smith, of the Muscatine Insur-
ance Agency, is agent Of the company for
this city.

One OF TIE RsAsoNs.-Train, in his last
harangue in this city, Intercepted his audi
ence as to the reason that brought the loyal
press Of the country "down" on him, allud-
ing. in spirit of self laudation to- some of
what he deems very meritorious acts and SEN
timents Of his own. els it," he inquired,
" because fought the battles of the Union
in England?'' In reply, latter having
patiently listened to two of his forensic ef.
forts) we should say that it is or deserves to
be included among those reasons-simply be-
cause the loyal people of the Union could not
possibly have received any greater damage
abroad than to be represented in the person
of so conceited braggadocia and buffoon.-
We are indebted to Train for a clue to the
fact that our cause was steadily growing into
disfavor while he debated for US in England.
Judging from the sample it was our misfor-
tune to have on exhibition, the people of the
loyal States could of course not be consider
ed entitled to the respect and sympathy Of a
civilized and enlightened nation.

An EXTRA TRAIN - Not the mountebank
Geo. Francis, but An extra train for the mass
meeting on Saturday. The Railroad Company,
through its gentlemanly and accommodating
Superintendent, Kimball, has kindly placed
at the disposal Of the loyal masses Of Wilton,
Moscow, Atalissa and West Liberty, a train
to leave this city at half past p. M, giving
them an opportunity Of hearing most or all
of the speaking, without travelling through
mud. Citizens west, don't fail to come in.
If you stay at home our enemies will declare
you are tired of the war and pronounce your
meeting fzzle. This is no politicians gath
ering-no candidates to nominate. The people
are asked to come out for the Government.
Devote one day to its service. Don't disap-
point our speakers by staying at home.

Discharging secessionists.

A correspondent of the Nebraska Re-
publican, en- route for Oregon, writing
from Eagle,Island, on the Platte. gives the
following account of discharging six seces-
sionists from the emigrant escort by Capt
Crawford:
"After camping, information reached
Captain Crawford that some of the men
were unruly. did not obey orders and
talked secession. The Captain after hear
ing this, put measures in operation to find
out exactly how matters stood. He be-
came fully satisfied before retiring for the
night that four men were at heart seces-
sionists and would make trouble for him
we're they allowed to proceed farther with
the train; he therefore, ordered their dis
charges TO be made out, and this morning
after getting the train ready and the mount
ed men in order, the Captain st pped in
front and told his men what he knew, and
that four men whose names he " ould soon
call must leave, and that he did not want
to see them after leaving, in camp again.
Their names we're called as follows: II.
G. Foster, ]. Scanland. A. F. Smith and
Robert Riley, each given his discharge
with the reason of his discharge written
therein, and then paid in full. At
ter doing so the Captain told his remaining
ren that if any left sympathized with
those discharged that if they would step
out they likewise could get their money
Two others did so, namely, Isaac Brown
and James w. Chipman. and then the train
moved off and left the six men on the
camping ground"
Served them just right Such men
would look better under arms fighting for
Jeff. Davis down in Dixie. Hope they
won't find their way over here. We have
no use for their kind.

Trouble at the Canital.

~. E. H." the Olympia correspondent of the
OregOnian, gives the following insight into the
dOings of The Federal clique at Olympia:
1t is currently reported that the political War
wicks are at work medtating The removal of Sec
retary Evans, who has only been in office about
three months, but in that short period has con-
vinced them that he cannot be controlled and
made to acquiesce in all their refarious potings.
and had thus incurred the displeasure of that
august coterie of officials, who claimed to be "the
parl ocular friends of the Presipent from an ac-
qnaintaace of twenty years standing" We have
not heard the particular sin with which they
charge him, except that being an old citizen OF
the Territory, the imported talent look upon him
with suspicion. Ii is said that the political vam-
plres have sharpenPd the knife to immo late Sec
retary Evans, and have already reported him as
"hshy" to Uncle Abe. Mr. Evans has host Of
trlends-haS thus far proved popular and efii-
cisnt officer, and if he has fair hearing will dc
feat The political Stock-iobhfrs who claim to CON
troll the Federal patronage and places in th s
Territory. The people are heartily sick of these
frequent changes. They think this constant tur-
mol and struggle TO remove men should be put
an end o "and would rather bear the ills they
have than fly to others they know not Of in a
fresh importation.
We rather suspect The secret of the Federal Of
fetal dislike to Evans over there, Is because he
is not sound on The abolition goose If such
is the case he has only to endorse the immaculate
wisdom of the emancipation proclamation meas
ure, and he will not be sacrificed. 1t is nothing
to swallow if man can only bring himself to
think so, and why shouldn't man train himself
to THINK SO TO save his official head. Some
democrats can swallow the emancipation procla-
nation and everything else nowadays for The
sake of getting Office, and why shouldn't an old
Republican be willing to do as much to keep an
Office?

NEW EXPREss.-Messrs. E. w. Tracy
d Co, have commenced running new ex-
press to Boise. They run through from
Portland, ria this city, La Grande and Au-
burn to all points in the Boise mines. The
well-earned reputation of Mr.. Tracy in
connection with the pioneer express in the
upper country two and three years ago is
a sufficient guaranty of the ability with
which his new enterprise will be con-
Quoted.

1--WE shall not Cry---it's none of our folks
Funeral -

A spirited little family warfare Is being
carried on between the abolish organs OF
Oregon and Washington, to-wit: the Or
egOnian and Standard. 1t is said that
when rogues fall out, honest men get
their dues If it proves true in this case
there should be large amount due some
body. The Oregonian's Olympia cores
pondent ~. E. H" in late letter to that
paper pitches into the old Gorilla, Henry,
without gloves and charges him with the
defeat of Raynor, while the Standard, the
Gorilla organ, lays the blame of the de-
feat on the Oregonian and Secretary Chase.
We are of the opinion that both charges
are alike untrue We have been looking
over the vote from the various counties,
and from careful examination Of the
whole matter, are forced to the conclusion
(Which it seems to us ought to be appar-
ent to every one, that Raynor was defeat
ed simply for the reason that there were
not Republican votes enough in the Terri
tory to elect him. The Oregonian did all
1t was capable Of doing to secure Raynor' 5
election, The Times threw in its mite
The Standard lied persistently and furious
ly. The $500 Puget Sound Herald was
meaner and more unscrupulous than all the
rest and effected all that it could for Ray
nor. In fact, all these journals labored in
Raynors behalf with great zeal, and as
well as we have been able to learn the Re-
puolicans all over the Territory and their
brethren over in Oregon did all they could
to elect their candidate, but the Democracy
outnumbered them, and therefore defeated
their candidate at the polls, as they intend
doing in all future elections in this Terrific
ry. 1t would be well for the CregOnian to
learn, and make note of the fact for fu-
ture use, that interference with Washing
ton Territory elections on its part does no
good to its party here, and is only calcula-
ted to lay itself liable to the charge of Sc
curing defeat, while there is not even re-
mote chance of ever being able to divide
the laurels of success.

New MINES ON THE UPPER CoLUM-
BIA-An opinion has long been enter
tanned at Colvile that very r ch gold mines
existed on the Upper Columbia, about two
hundred miles above old Fort Colville, and
recent Investigations prove the opinion to
have been well-founded. We are informed
by Mr.. Mossman, who came down from
Colville last week, that Mr.. Mcdonald, of
the old Fort, lately fitted out company of
three men and sent them up to prospect
region in which the Indians found gold as
early as 1866. The party ret lrncd, and
reported that they had found place about
two hundred miles above the mouth of the
Pen d'Oreille, in which they rocked out
$500 in gold in one day, and thinking that
'good enough for them," they came back
to the Fort to obtain supplies and returned
again to the mines AS evidence of the
fact that they had "found it, they
brought down the dust they had rocked
out.

facts Mr.. Logan obtained from one of the

ing the deed. Another of the murderers

FROM THE PLAINS News GENES in
from Boise that the number of emigrants
on the road TO the northern coast is not
so large as heretofore reported A con-
siderable proportion of the emigration
turned up the Missouri TOW ards the Big
Hole ard Beaver Head mines. A great
many of these will most likely continue on
to this side of the mountains, via the Mul-
Ian road. A goody number that started
for this coast stopped in Colorado, and sew
eral large trains continued on to Cali
ifornia Some of the emigrants that have
arrived at Boise report that the same dis
ease prevails among the cattle on the
plains that has been so destructive to the
teams between here and Boise.
AS it is not likely that the forward
trains could have a correct idea of the num-
Der of cmigrants on the road behind them,
and from the accounts published in the
Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado papers
all of which speak the very large number
on the road to Boise-we yet incline to
the opinion that the Boise country and
Washington ard Oregon will get much the
larger proportion of the emigration.
