to this city next year. They are admirable
actors as well as capital singers, and we shall
see such liz Int operas as Fra Diapolo, lie Dom

An AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION WAEv>
ED.-There is great deal said in Congress-
about negro Suffrage, negrs equality, negro
rights and alp that, and amendments to the COR
stitution are offered TO meet the several points.
We have no doubt all parties win agree that
negroes should be on a equality with tho
whites in. one respect, and that Ia that they
should have the privilege Of working for liv-
ing like the whites. Therefore an, amendment
to the constitution is wanted whics will make
the niggers work. Here is a chance for Sum-
ner, Wilson. Wade, Thsd Stevens and all tho
rest. The sugar plantations in Louisiana, to
say nothing Of the cotton plantations ALI over
the South, are anxiously awaiting an. amend
ment to the constitution that will reach this
aulliecI.

THE STAR OF OREGON LOOMING Up.-The
first practical endorsement of the policy OF
President Johnson occurred in the House OF
Representatives on,' Thursday, in the unani-
moss adoption Of the resolution offered by.
Mr.: Henderson, Of 0regon-to wit Treason
against the United Ststes government is a crime.
and ought to be punished" This was Presi-
dent Johnson's doctrine from the start, and We
are glad to see this emphatic endorsement Of
it byCongress. heState of Oregon, therefore,
begins to loom up in the councils Of the nation
But why should she not! 1t may seem scarcely
credible, but it is nevertheless fact that with
in the past six months treasure il gold and
silver bullion to the amount Of twelve millions
OF dollars has passed through Its portals on its
way from the rich'gold and silver highlands Of
Idaho, the westerns portion of Montana, and .
bit of British Columbia. This is at the rate Of
two millions per month, to say nothing about
the great amount Of treasure carried away by
the gold and silver digging boys in person.
Well may the star Of Oregon loom up.

,rbe Herald and the Newspaper Press OK
the Country-The Great Fire.
In another part of the paper We reprint the
ORIGINAL HERALD report Of the great fire that
happened in this city on December l6, 1885
Just thirty wears ago to-day. We give also the
diagram that we then laid before our readers
of the burned district and the view OF the
Merchants Exchange. We reproduce this ac-
count of an important event in the history OF
our city because Of its peculiar interest in
journalistic point OF view-as one great turn
ing point between the press Of the past and the
press Of the present
AT the time Of the occurrence OF the great
fire the HERALD was in its first year. II was
new idea-sn attempt to bring the newspaper
press nearer to practical life-to popularize 1t,
and to make . newspaper grand success by
making ii the absolute organ OF the people.
At that time the papers Of the old class were
great dull, numbering machines, fun Of adver-
tisements and stWpidity-truly, ss they were
called, ablanket Sheets" They hardly touched
those, events that are of the most general in
terest In the life Of the masses, because such
events were bensath the "dignity Of the press"
The editorials were tremendous sermons that
no one could read. The contrast between
those sheets and one full Of life, energy and
enterprise tHat gave beside other
news dasuerreotype Of the LEGAL life
was clear from the first, and the
HERALD was success. That success
brought down upon it che anger of its lumber
ing opponents, and originated the torrents of
abuse that were poured on ne; for, though it
was beneath the dignity Of those heavy fellows
to give reports OF current events, 1t was by no
means beneath tLeir dignity to- call hard
names.
Our account Of TIE great FIRE was then with
out parallel in the efforts of the pressy and our
cuts published, wheui it was hardly possible TO
get wood engraver, were the 6rst attempts Of
the kind toIay distinct information before the
people. Altogether ID was one of our great
pieces of enterprise-ane of tie successes Of
the HERALD--and with such successes came in
the new era Of journalism-the change which
originated the Independent press Of the coun-
try as 1t now u.s. All our opponents were
forced by our success to follow us.-to modify
their dull, heavy sheets till they were all more
or less like ours, as they now are They fol-
lowed us, but always at distance This was
80 not only in tie city, but all over the coun-
try; and it was through the impulse and shape
that we gave it that the press Of the country
grew into its present. position of power as q
institution
