ton tour throughout the limits of this City and
those who have not yet complied with -fhe ordi-
nance relating to the construction Of proper
Aues had better attend to the matter as soon as
they can make it convenient. The ordinance
requires that brick hues be built and fixes a
heavy fine where stove pipes are stuck through
the roofs and sides of buildings. Fines for the
violation of this ordinance, we understand
would have been imposed long since had not
the severity of the weather during the winter
months prevented the Building of hues. There

LUokY.-Most of the States and Territories
are groaning under the enormous debts of their
local governments-debts contracted since the
beginning of the war. A few of the Territories
have fortunately escaped this financial burthen.
Among the lucky ones stands Washington Ter
ritory. She has not been called on to raise any
troops, and was fortunate enough to not raise
any of her own accord In this she was wise,
for it would have been the height of folly for her
to have saddled the people with debt for no pur-
pose or benefit to the government. Oregon pur-
sued vain-glorious policy in this respect, and
the taxpayers will have to bear the load of
such policy, and the State officials will get no
thanks for inaugurating it.

The FIRE DEPARTMENT.-Fir Engine Com
pany No. l, of Walla Walla, we take it, is not
in an over healthy condition j1st at present.
Many of its members are absent in different parts
of the country and the number left in town is
small-much smaller than it ought to be. There
ought to be one hundred citizens belonging 70
this Company, and out of that number perhaps
the services of fifty efficient members could al
ways be relied upon when needed. Latterly it has
been difficult matter for the Company to get
twenty members together at drill If there is
not something done soon to give the Company
renewed yigor it will cease to exist. Every one
interested in the preservation and welfare of the
place feels the necessity of keeping up an eff
cient fire organization, but many of The citizens
trust to others to do the work and keep the or
ganization alive. The only way perhaps to
mend matters much in this respect is for the
City government to have respectable Engine
House built for the use of the fire department
When this is done the fremen will take some
pride in turning out at drills and keeping things
about the engine in order and ready for any
emergency, while many will then be willing to
enroll themselves as fremen who are inclined to
stand back now. In the meantime the present
members of the Company should endeavor to
keep the organization as full and efficient as
possible. All honor to the "boys" who never
desert the machine.

Assassination of President Lincoln.


The news of the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln has spread feeling of deep gloom
over the land The Chief Magistrate of the
nation has been murdered by the hand of an
assassin What dark spot in the history
Of nation claiming to be the freest and most
enlightened in the world and who that has
his cOuntry's honor at heart can but regret
that deed so foul has stained its history
Certainly, there can be none among the
ranks of honorable men who would sympa-
thize with the assassin. However widely
men have differed from the President po-
litically, none recognizing the right of free
men to differ, or entertaining ideas ofjustice
more elevated than characterized the people
of the dark ages, can exult that their differ
ences have been thus ANONYMOUSLY ended.
We know of none such, and would not know
them Neither would we know those who,
in the madness of their grief would reck-
lessly assassinate in turn and seek 70 wreak
their vengeance Ipon those who have
loved their country, and seeking for its high
est good, have honestly differed with the
President, simply because one who may have
claimed to be of their party has been base
enough to assassinate him. Let the assassin,
and his cOnfederates if he has any, die the
death he and they so richly merit; but while
sadness rules the mind for the departed, let
not charity for the honest living be forgot
ten The hour is dark one but our coun-
try will yet emerge from the gloom that
shades it now, and though the nation must
forever regret the deep disgrace that has
blotted this last page of its history, there
will yet be brighter pages written.

Upon the receipt Of the news on Thurs

WHO ARE CALLED ?-The Pacific Christian
Advocate, in lengthy article upon the subject
Of the ministry, endeavors to show that only
those that have received a call from God are
fitted to preach the gospel that it is not a pro-
fession to be chosen at the option of the indi-
yidual, or as man would choose to
learn the butchering business if his natural in
elinations led him into the meat shop. But if
we properly understand the doctrine taught by
the Advocate, it is that before a man can enter
the sacred precincts ofthe ministry or rightfully
don the ministerial robes be must first be posi-
tive that God has called him out. "Washing-
ton and Idaho Territories says the Advocate,
"now require at least score of efficient minis
ters to preach and build up the institutions of
religion, aud to train the children and youth in
the fear of the Lord" The Advocate thinks
the men are in Oregon who ought to be engaged
in this work. and asks, HWho will awake to du-
ty and to responsibility 2" And now before
echo answers t'who?" and before the Oregon
Conference next meets, we would suggest to
the clerical aspirants that they must knolo that

He absolutely demands their services, before
they assume the awful responsibility of assist
ing in the work of saving souls. We think
God never called out portion, at least, of the
ministers who have heretofore oficiated as
preachers in and around Oregon. If God did call
them all out tits evident that some very loose
selections were made. However, the material
to select from might have been such that the
Lord, while calling out the best, was obliged to
choose some who were not altogether fitted for
the responsible position But the most reason
able conclusion that can be arrived at, assum-
ing the theory correct, is that some Of those
who studied for the ministry, made mistake
in supposing that God had called them ont that
instead, it was their own small voices which
through brains more or less deranged, they con-
strued to be the voice of God.' Now if there is
any tangible way of getting at the fact and de-
termining who are called by the Lord and who
not, we have no debut the people of this Terri
tory would much prefer to be supplied with
ministers of real worth and of the genuine
stamp The bogus sort, bgots, fanatics, the
carnal minded and the selfrighteOus, we don't

The present Indebtedness of the Dalles CITY
government, says the Mountaineer, is SAT- ID.
About half this debt was contracted during the
year 1854. Our City authorities, just gone out
of office, at the commencement of their term,
beginning April 10th, 1864, had before them an
! Indebtedness of Sc, ,266 so. At the end of the
years term the outstanding indebtedness was
but 3, ,l0l 33, or the total Indebtedness reduced
one-half in a single year, and the amount of
5000 90 paid out in the meantime for street
property and cemetery fence. While Dalles run
up debt of $4,000, Walla Walla liquidated
So, 900 of her Indebtedness during the same Pc
Iiod. The Mouniaineer says that some of the
street improvements made in Dalles during the
past year ''were not for the benefit of the whole
city, but for the benefit of member of the
Council, who desired to have his own property
benefited at the expense of the city,"

A Branch of the Christian Commission, at For

ready to sanction-especially as there seems to
be no necessity for such proceeding
