THE SEow SroRN.-For nearly a week, with
occasional intervals, snow has continued to
fall until at this writing-Friday morning
the whole Valley is covered to the depth of from
fourteen to eighteen inches. Should the snow
Venain on the ground for any considerable time
the stock will suffer severely, although most Of
'onr farmers are fortunate enough to have large
Anosuts offeed, and in this way will save the
greater portion Of their cattle. In other Sec
tions Of the country, less fortunate, the loss Of
stock will be very great. 1t will be recollected
that during the bard winter of and 81, thous-
AndS Of bead perished. Should the present via.
ter prove equally severe the loss must be vastly
greater, for the reason there is so many more
cattle in the Valley. The system of trusting to
luck, aud allowing cattle to shift for themselves
during the winter is a bad one and we are
pleased to notice that our farmers, as rule
put up feed to meet such a contingency as is now
upon US. In'this they are wise, and with an.
other season, doubtless their example will be
initiated. "The merciful man is merciful to his
beast" and on this principle ofhumanity alone,
We should provide for the comfort of the animals
chat serve Us so faithfully.

OREGON LEGIsLATURE,-At last accounts
the Oregon Legislature was in full blast,
piling up the State debt, and accomplishing
nothing at all likely to rebound to the credit OF
the members. The constitutional amend
ment had passed both Houses, bat in differ.
eut forms, and quite an interesting discus.
sion WAS going on between tRe two Houses
as to the shape in which the measure is to
20 down to po>terity The Sunday law had
not been repealed, the mealbcrS apparently
being opposed to any change or modification
Of the law. The general impression in the
Valley is that the called session has proved
failure, and that the Governor erred in lis
tening to the little cotcrie who forced him
into the measure, sgainst bis better judg-
meut. 1t is barely possible that the Legis-
lature will pass "a law designed to disfran-
chise the emigrants, but this is doubtful,
and the whole affair is likely to result in
little more than allowing crazy Thornton to
get off score or two Of speeches.

FATAL AFFRAY.-An alteration took place last
Saturday evening at saloon just above the Stage
House, between Jake Jordan, n faro dealer. and
a stranger called Vic. Bowley. Some words
were had at the table, and a acufle ensued. du
ring which Bowley stabbed Jordan in the groin,
from the effect of which he died Sunday morning.
Bowley is in custody and the grand jury now in
session will, of course, investigate the affair

tion Of informing his numerous friends that we

cane, nearly as long as his nose, and looking
hearty, hale, and at least ten years more youth

Of the future prospects of Idaho, and partcU-

STILL FINKERING,

We have already given Summers plan of
reconstruction, the object of which is to de.
lay the restoration Of the Union to the latest
possible moment. Following out this idea
of delay, the Senator has introduced another
bill which provides that grand juries shall
consist one-half of persons of African descent
in sections where one-sixth of the population
are Africans, and the same proportion in
petit juries where the matter relates to any
injuries inflicted by persons of African de.
scent. Upon persons not of such descent,
or Uice verso, prejudice against such Afrir
can race is made the ground of challenge and
exclusion from such jurics. To carry out
his favOrite theory of negro equality, the
Senator is not consistent with himself, for
the reason that he proposes to give the
blacks rights that he withholds from white
men. Following out the plan here indica.
ted, when female Is defendant, at least one
half the grand and petit juries should be
composed of females, and so on to the end of
the chapter. We have too much charity to
believe that radical New England will fol-
low the Senator in bis mad vogaries.

EnIrnRIAL pARRGRAPHs.

The EMPoRIUM.-Portland, not without
reason, claims to be The emporium" of the
Northern country. Originally the offspring
of the Willamette trade, Portland has grown
aud prospered, until to-day, outside of San
Fran cisco, there is not town on the coast
that can dispute her pre-eminence. We
have no disposition to find fault with the
good fortune that has favored the "empo-
rum" and made her what she is, but we do
complain that she fails to make the best of
the advantages that circumstances have
placed in her way. Instead of being de-
pendent upon San francisco, selling goods
at second hand, cargOes should be laid down
at Portland, direct from the East, and thus
avoid the tax which the whole trade of the
Northern country now pays I'd California.
In another particular, the emporium ," has
always been behind the times in failing to
keep full stocks of goods. A merchant, as
We happen to know, goes to Portland with
the intention of making bis purchases. On
looking over the market, he finds that one or
two Important articles are not to be had, and
to obtain.them be is compelled to go to San
Francisco. AS result, he buys his whole
stock in San Francisco, and Portland loses a
customer. As showing to what extent the
BUSINESS men of Portland fail to keep up
with the requirements Of their position, We
quote from the Oregoni0n, Of the llth, the
following statement of the condition of the
market:
"We are credbly informed that Of so
common a commodity as cotton or linen
duck, there are not fifty yards in the city.
Of eight penny nails, an article without
which house cannot be built, We are told,
there are not twenty five kegs in the market
Before the arrival of the steamer a day or
two ago, the stock, Of coal oil was entirely
exhausted. Anthracite coal is indispensable
to ioundrymen, and though there are four
toundries in the city, there is not among
them all one fourth OF a ton Of this species
Of coal. Those vino are in want of castings
either have to wait until coal arrives or send
to San Francisco to get their work done
Cumberlaud'coAlis is used by every blacksmith,
and III every machine shop, but there are
are not three tons of it in town. We might
enumerute other articles which are in daily
use and constantly called for, but which sre
not to be obtained here in any considerable
quantities
To supply trade so large as that Of the
Northern country, requires greater enters
prise than is disclosed in the foregoing e1-
hibit, and looking to the disclosures thus
made, it is fair to say that Portland offers
6ae opening for fresh infusion Of business
ability.

A HUMBUG.-A writer in the OregoHian
prouounces the Mullan Road humbug, and
says that it is passable but four months in
the year. 1t is somewhat remarkable, in
view of this statement, that seven -eighths
of the travel to Blackfoot has gone by way
of the Muilan Road, and further, that the
packers and teamsters throughout the upper
country unite in the opinion that it possesses
advantages over all other routes. We fear
that the writer in the Oregnidn has steam
boat on the brain, and that he wishes to
" Steamboat" the readers of that paper. If
in this way he can humbug,.' Portlanders
out of their capital, and induce them to in
vest it in steamboats,, it is no matter of ours
In the meantime we shall require farther ev.
ideuce before we conclude that the Mullan
Road is failure.

FeeIIn- at The South.

The following is ar extract from a let
ter written by q gentleman travelling in
the South, dated at Tuscumbia, Alabama,
November u:
"This is said to be one of
the strongest secesh towns in the State.
The people have suffered terribly, and
there is hardly a merchant here but must
compromise. They seem disposed to make
the best of the present state of things, but
l can safely say they cordially hate North
ern men-as much, at any rate, as they
ever did. The newspaper stories about
American flags flying are all sham. If
any one had the pluck to raise one it
would raise trouble for him sure. The
county boasts of never having had a
Union man in it, and L doubt if there is
one to be found now"

The parting between Governor Morton,
of Indiana, and Hon. John Mcdonald,
his antagonist in the election, is reported
to have been exceedingly interesting, both
of the distinguished gentlemen being af-
fected to tears. They have ever been warm
personal friends, and throughout that mem
orable canvass, which was expected to be
bitter and acrimonious, they maintained
toward each other the most amicable re-
lations. Among the pictures of noted
Generals and Statesmen which adorn the
walls of His Excelleney's private room, at
the Capitol, there hangs a portrait of John
Mcdonald, his unsuccessful competitor for
GubernatOrial honors. The resolutions
complimentary to Governor Morton, pass
ed by the Legislature, were drawn up by
Mr.. Mcdonald.

"a Curiosity of Literature Win n

Moral"
This is. the second title of an article bv
Hon. Charles Summer, in the new number
of the Atlantic Monthly. The article is in
itself no ordinary curiosity, as a singular
Illustration of the varied pursuits and Sc
quirements of its writer. Its text, if we
may so term it, is found in the two Latin
verses:
: Unstable est regnum quod non elemental frmat.
ineidis in seyliam, eupiens vitare Clarybdrm.''
Mr.. Sumner formally records the fact
they are from a poem called aAlexandreis,
slve Costa Alexandra Magni," by Philip
pus Gualteraus, a French medieval poet.
The two verses may be translated in
prose as follows; HUnstable is the realm
if elemency does not strengthen it; seek
ing to escape Charybdis, you fall upon
Scylla." And this is ." the moral the
need of reconciling clemency with secur-
ity in our National affairs. Mr.. Sumner
believes that we are drifting upon the
Seyila of concession and compromise in es-
Gaping from the Charybidis of vindictive
severity, and accordingly gives his view f
"the conditions to be observed in e~xercisir o

The fears of mothers have been for two
weeks most cruelty played upon, in Phil
sdelphia, by a "shrewd advertising
dodge" which caused to be posted all over
town, in g%laring capitals, "LOok out for
the Child Stealerp The fact that a child
had recently been stolen from its parents
in the upper part of the city, and had
been retained for some weeks, had caused
nc inconsiderable alarm among a portion
of the community 1t so far intensified
that not a few people kept their children
from school lest they should be kidnapped,
while going or returning, by the mystic
rious child stealer. At the Central police
station, for ten days past, there has been a
run by frantic women, who, after they
came there, couldn't tell what they wanted,
or what induced them to make their visit.
The anonymous advertisement is now ex-
planned. 1t is the title of a new play at
one of the theatres. The public should
ccnspfre to have that play set down at the
end of its course a dead failure.

VestVali in Deadly FeaF-Her.ManaGer
ArraSfad

tFrom the San Fnneisco Bulletin, October 81
Thomas Mcguire was arrested Yesterday
upon the complaint of "Vestvali, the Mag
nificent," on the charge of making threats
against her person from which she alleges
she stands in fear of said Mcguire. Her
complaint alleges that he threatened to
break every bone in ~deponent's body be-
fore depenent shall leave the city, and in
making said threat used the following
language, to wit: you id iend n
der the mask of a woman, repeated three
times with violence and gestieulations, J
you have come to the right man. III.
prove that you have bones in your flesh.
and before you leave the country hi
break every bone in your body" and de-
ponent fears that the said Mcguire will at
tempt to carry his threat into execution,
believes her life to be in jeopardy in
consequence of said threat unless said
Mcguire be restrained by law. The COM
plant is signed in, a masculine style of
hand writing, "Felicite de Vestvali," with
a business like quirl underneath. This, of
course, is the official record of one half of
what may be a very exciting story.
