The bill to establish Branch Mint at
the Dales, Oregon, has passed the U. S.
Senate, and has been favorably reported
upon by the Finance Committee of the
House. 1t is thought the bill, when called
up, will pass the House without opposition.
We would rather see the Mint located lit
tie higher up the Columbia, but Oregon had
the "drop" on US, and we accept the Dales
Is much better location than point lower

Major General Irwin Mcdowell is said
to be on bis way to California, to take COM
mand of the Military Department of the
Pacific. We hope that Mcdowell will be
able to give as universal satisfaction in his
management on the coast as General Wright
has done. Gen. Wright has the advantage
of being thoroughly acquainted with af-
fairs here, besides having the confidence of
tho people, who look upon him as an able
officer and trustworthy man, while Mcdowell
will come as a stranger, having much to
learn in the new department assigned him.

VALLANDIGHAM.- dispatches say
that the Democracy of Ohio have appointed
G. L. Vallandigham Delegate to the Chi
cago Convention. This may have had some
effect in the postponement of the Conven-
tion. AT all events, if he has been made a
delegate, and if such men as be are to shape
the platform upon which candidate for
the Presidency is to be nominated, the ma
tional committe would do just as well to
postpone the convention until after the
Presidential election.

June ZOu, lOOf.
We, the undersigned citizens of Walla
Walla county, submit the following state
ments of facts in connection with the shoot
ing and killing of Louis Raboin, familiarly
known as Loui Marango.
We proceeded from his house about one
fourth of mile to where he and his little
son had been hoeing in a tobacco patch, and
upon examination we found moccasin tracks
near by; also, the grass and weeds broken
down in three different places Immediately
in the edge of the brush, (the place we be-
lieve where the fatal shot was discharged)
and at the short distance of but twenty pa
ces from where Raboin was hoeing.
We made diligent search about and
around the place in order to obtain farther
clue to the murder, but without effect, and
from the appearances, we are led to believe
that there were two or more persons engaged
in the murder, and that they were Indians.
The shot was fred from a large sized gun or
pistol and entered the left side of the body
Immediately under the arm, the ball remain
ing in the body, producing death in about
three hours

HEAVY HAIL sroRM-One of the Sc
verest hail storms on record visited Indian
valley on Saturday last. From Mr.. Phillips
of Phillips & Co.'S ranch, we learn that the
hail fell to depth of four inches on their
place. Their barley and oats crops were
beat down level with the ground. The bar
ley is totally ruined, and the oats, which was
not "jointed, may possibly revive The
vegetables in the vicinity were totally des-
troyed, and the pine trees were almost strip
ped bare of their leaves. Messrs. Phillips
& Co. were damaged to the amount OF five
or six thousand dollars by the destruction
of their crops. The storm passed over a
space of about three miles in width, and did
not extend into the main (Grand Rondc)
valley.

There are many well qualified young men
now belonging to the Oregon cavalry, both
of officers, non-commissioned officers and
privates, who would be glad to enter the ser
vice as officers in the colored regiments, and
it would seem to be but liberal and fair that
they should have the opportunity. These
young men are aware of the high standard
required for officers of the regiments re-
ferred to, and are willing, yea, anxious, to
submit their qualifications to the decision of
properly constituted Board of officers ap-
pointed for that purpose Oregonidn.
Give them Board by all means and let
them sail in. We have before understood
that some men belonging to the Oregon cav
airy were anxious to 60 into active service
in the East, but this is the first intimation
we have had that it was their desire to
get into colored regiments.
