Mildly judge 70 ofeach other.

The very best have got their failiugs.
Something good the worst can show.
The brilliant sun hath spots Of darkness
On his radiant front, They say.
And the clock that never gosth,

When his random whms you see;
For. perhaps, be something like u
Every day behoids in thee.
Folly leavens all our natures.

But remember, bright or simple.

Think not those whom mortals honor
Are the best the earth affords;
For no tongue Of praise doth blazon
Forth the deeds whish God rewards.
There are fish behind in ocean
Coed a. ever from il came.
And there are men, unknown. As nsble
As the laurerd heirs Of fame.
Mildly judge, then, Of each other,

THE WASHINGTON STATESMAN
Published Every Saturday Morning
THE NEw RolD.LThe new road from

The New RoAD.-The new road from
this place to Grand Ronde valley is now
receiving its proportion Of travel, and the
natural results are being experienced here.
Teams heavily laden with goods for the
mines go out by this road every day, and
the promised benefits that were to accrue
to this city and valley from its construction
have fully begun Mr.. ]. P. Goodhue,
who has been teaming over the old road
all summer, made the trip over the new
route, with teams, within the past fortnight,
to the upper end of the Grand Ronde
and back, in eight travelling dayS-the
quickest trip that has been made across the
mountains with teams this summer. He
had with him two eight-mule teams, loaded
with 5000 pounds each on his outward trip
and came back with empty wagons. 9th
er teams that crossed with him, en- route
for Boise made the same time that he did.
The time occupied in making this trip is
just half what is required in going and
coming the old road Mr. Goodhue is com
petent to Judge Of the merits of the routes
and says the advantages are eminenty in fa-
vor of the new road. The stumps which OBJ
structed the road when the first teams
crossed over it have been mostly removed
or cut down to the ground, 50 that no in
convenience from that cause need be expert
eDced by careful drivers.

MAJ. DowNER's PLATFoRM.-We have
published, by request, on the outside of to-
days issue, DR.. Newels circular to the
people of Idaho, in relation to the Dele
gateship, and for the benefit of our readers
in that Territory we give below the claims
of Major Downer for the same position,-
believing it but justice to the Major that
all should have an opportunity to weigh
their ponderosity before deciding to vote
for C any other man." If the construction
of the second paragraph in the article does
not convince the voters of the Territory that
his 'zeal" is sufficient to render him fully
competent for the position to which be as
pires, why, it OF ter:
The undersigned in announcing himself
candidate for Delegate to Congress, for
the Territory of Idaho, subject to the deci-
sion of Territorial Convention, if one is
held, would state that he is an uncondi-
tional Union man, and will support all nee
essary measures to preserve the Constitu-
ton and the integrity of the Union of the
entire United States, as our fathers placed
the inheritance in our keeping. He ap-
proves the efforts made, and being carried
out by the Government and the President,
for the suppression of the most unholy re-
bellion that ever existed, and will support
all necessary measures to crush it out eff
fectually and forever.
Having resided on the Pacific coast the
past fifteen years, and nearly two years in
this Territory, he may be supposed to be
some what acquainted with what legislation
is wanted in order to develope the mineral
and agricultural resources of the Territory 4;
and having, under instructions from the
Postmaster General, established nearly five
hundred miles of postal service-furnishing
mails to seven post offices and thousands of
citizens, and is now urging at Washington
to have post offices established at Placer
vile, Bannock city and other phases in the
Territory. These give an assurance Of his
zeal for the public welfare, and industry
and energy in the public service. If any
other shall be ncmin2ted in Territorial
Union Convention instead of myself, for
Delegate to Congress, he shall have my
hearty support. Ifthere is no Convention,
| am a candidate.

North CAROLINA UN1oN1sM.-It W

North CAROLINA UNIoNIsM.-It will
be seen by the dispatches that the people
of North Carolina are becoming heartily
disgusted with the Southern Confederaoy.
Whether they will put up with the 'incon-
veniences of emancipation end be admit
ted into the Union as was western Vir-
ginia is yet to be decided Emancipation
of her slaves, it is announced is one of the
conditions which will be required before
she can come into the Union. We had
supposed from the tone of many of the
Administration papers, that no conditions
would be required except TO clay down
arms and take their places )" but if eman-
cipation and other conditions is to be the
ruling with the rebellous States, we can
not look fer speedy peace. At any rate,
it would seem to be the part of wisdom to
let North Carolina come into the Union
with all the rights guaranteed her by the
Constitution. Other disafected rebel
States might then be expected to follow
her into the Union, and thus rebellion soon
ended If it is true that that State is
ready to yield obedience to the Federal
laws in her former condition with her
rights uuimpaired, then the Administra-
ton is to blame if it imposes other condi-
tions, and will be held responsible for
prolonging the war for the purpose of
abolisbing slavery We are rather in
clined to the opinion. however, that the
dispatches in relation to the policy of the
Administration with North Carolina, era

M1xED.-The country is now becoming
flooded with erc ulars from men, announc-
ing themselves willing to be sacrificed by
the dear people of Idaho as their first del
egate to Congress The platforms of the
candidates present the usual g anomaly" of
the times: men claimingto be Democrats
trying to swallow the abolition goose
whole, and Republicans " stealing the liv
cry Of heaven to serve the devil in by ap-
propriating the planks of the true Demo
cratic platform Why not adopt the names
of the parties whose principles you have
espoused gentlemen, and thereby enhance
YOU, chances of securing a nomination be-
fore the conventions to which you propose
to submit your rames We have little
faith in the integrity of the man who goes
under an assumed name. whether politi-
cally or otherwise, and we believe the IN
telligent masses will coincide with us.
The salvation of our country depends upon
the election of honest men to ofice-men
whose principles can be relied upon, and
not those who are all things to all men for
the sake of office, and then their Gown
men, when they have been elevated to po-
sition.

TROUBLE APPREHENDED -Advices from
Boise indicate that the people of that
county will not quietly submit to the arbi-
trary act of Gov. Wallace in removing their
county officers and appointing Others in
their stead, Resistance, even, is loudly
talked of. We earnestly hope that there
will be no forcibe resistance attempt
ed there The only reasonable and sound
way of resistance is to 60 to the polls at
the coming election and replace tue off
GERS ousted, through the peaceful means of
the ballot-box. Any other kind of resist
ance would be madness and folly Mob
law is anti democratic, and should never be
resoFted to except when there is absolute
necessity and when all peaceful means fail
to mete out justice.

ABBoTT's HISTORY OF THE WAR.-Mr.

is now engaged in canvassing this county.
The first volume only has been issued,
which he has with him and is supplying to
subscribers. A hasty glance at the work
has not enabled US to pronounce upon its
merits, but from the universally favora-
BILE notices made Of it by the press else
where, we Judge it to be full account of
the origin and progress Of the war, and
worthy the pen of its well-knoNn author

ton of the work is in the most substantial
and attractive style. 1t contains over 500
pages, and is illustrated with numerous
steel engravings, representing military and

proof Ihe mail at the Dales is made up

orally made up at Portland as a through

FRAUD ON THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT

*FRAUD ON THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT
Several weeks ago, Gen. F. Z. Spinner,
Treasurer of the United States, had his sus
picon croused thai d fraud was being perpe
trated i'll his Department whereby the Gov
eminent was becoming the loser in large
amonnts. Keeping the matter quiet. he at once
set to work TO dig the leak, and pitched
upon Chas H. Cornwell, who had charge of
the redemption department Of the Office, as,th,
guilty party. sixteen days Investigation
satisfied Gen, Spinner that he had hit upon the
guilty party, and yesterday he caused the
arrest of Gornwell. The latter was at his desk
as usual, and about eleven O'clock was re-
uuested 10 call at the Treasurer's room.
member of Col Baker detective corps was in
waiting, and as soon as Cornwell appeared he
was placed under arrest and was so held all
OF last night and to-dcy. Gen. Spinner at once
charged the prisoner with abstracting funds
and appropriating them to his own use, and
the latter, we understand, acknowledged the
fact, and delivered up number of bonds &c.
1t appears that Cornwell held the rerpons bAe
and important office of Chief of the Radsmp-
ton Branch, where mutilated notes are re-
deemed. Thee notes, as they came in, were
exchaB ged for good not"c and placed i'm a safe
until one hundred notes of one denomination
had accumulated. when they were counted nv
the accused and then cut in half and trans
, mitted 20 the offices Of the Secretary aud Regis
ter of the Treasury respectively-on half to
each Office There the halves were counted
and the amounts We're reported to the Treas ur-
er, Gen. Spinner. This precaution TAKEN tha--
+ were then ordered TO be burnt, and one cler;,
from each office was detailed to witness the
destruction of the notes; the Chief Clerk OF the
Redemption Department having q general So.
pervlsion OF the matter
Cornwell having this responsible position il,
the redemption department, took advantage OF
ri, and ircm time to time rocketed packages
that should have been destroyed until he had
lined his nest (as he supposed securely with
over 100000. These half notes, thus abstract
ed he, as opportunity offered, exchanged fo@
whole notes entrusted TO his care, and sert
the cut notes back to be recounted. his pos itoS
in the office afiordiIg him many opportunities
for doing 20. Most Of the amount stolen had
been invested in $40 bonds, but these have been
recovered by the Government.
1t liz throught that in some instances The
money was taken before being counted and GU
aud il this BE- the case the amount may be IN uch
larger than now supposed. Government will
not be much the loser by his operations.
Cornwell Is said to be from Marietta
Ohio, and has heretofore borne good character.
He is a married man, about i5 years OF age
aud resides i'll Georgetown.
