LIGHTING THE CITY.-The time has come when
the question of Fighting the city may properly be
agitated. Our citizens never having been bless
ed with lighted streets, make littls or no conf
plant, but were they once favored with lighted
streets, we are quite sure that they would new
er willingly relapse into a condition ofdarkness
At first sight 1t would appear to be rather an ex-
pensiye undertaking to provide our streets with
lights. Investigation will show this to be mis-
take. Twenty lamps, suitably distributed, will
suffice to light all the more thickly settled por-
tions Of the city. Let it be borne in mind that
lamp placed at the intersection Of two streets,
throws its rays in four different directions, and
measurAbly serves to light up four blocks. The
safety to life and property resulting from light
ing the streets, would vastly more than compeu-
safe for the outlay. A shrewd Individual has we'll
said that two street lamps are worth as much as
half dozen sleepy watchmeu in preventing
crime, and we concur in the opinion. The bur-
glar and assassin invariably shun the light, and
it is only under the cover of darkness that they
practice their nefarious callngs. So wkit ID th e
horror of this class for light understood, that the
merchants in the Eastern cities and San Fran
escO, who have very valuable stocks Of goods,
resort to the sIpedient of keeping their stores lii
up all night, and burglars have never been
known to depredats Upon buildings thus illum-
mated. To procure twenty lamps, and place
them at convenient intervals throughout the city
would not involve an expense Of $500 for the
soriginal outlay: Street lamps in all respects
suitable for the purpose, need not cost more
than S25 each, posts and all; At this figure the
whole arranngement for lighting the city would
cost from S4OO TO $500, The subsequent g..
pense for oil and lighting would be the merest
trifHe. We commend these suggestions to the
City Board, in the hope that they will take meas
ures to give their constituents light.

FoRcINa CIvILIz4rioN. - The idea Of
forcing civilization, or compelling people to
live virtuous lives by means of repressive
laws, wherever tried, has failed. OF this
we have an illustration in Oregon State
that is blessed with any amount Of PURITAN. i.
cal legislation, and yet cursed with all the
vices that pertain to humanity. Referring
to the class who suppose that every thing
can be regulated by law, cOtgmporary says:
"There are those who appear to think that
action on the part of the authorities could
wipe out the vices and evils that infest our
community, aud make it at once model Of
purity and refinement. Do they B6t consider
that evil has power and vitality the same'as
good that it is seated like vicious disease
in the body polite, and if suppressed in a
certain shape or place will be sure to break
out in another The certain cure is not in
eradicating its external symptoms. The en-
tire system must be purified; aud as that gains
strength and better tone, the disease will
gradually disappear of itself Time and the
free exercise and growth of healthier SEN
timent are the surest and speediest re medies.
We see their beneficial effects daily. We
see our community advancing slowly but
surely in moral and social refinement, and
are -atis6ed, without vainly endeavoring to
force our civilization"

THE FLOUR YIELD.-A gentleman, Who
has every opportunity of knowing whereof
he speaks, informs US that for the season
just closed, there has been freighted from
this Valley not less than seven thousand
barrels Of -four, every pound Of which was
of domestic produce. The price ruled at
from $40 to Sll per barrel, at which fig
ures the amount received for thi1 one article
of domestic production will foot up in the
neighborhoOd IF SIS, GOO. Of this amount
two thousand barrels went to Colvile Valley,
for the use of the miners on the Upper Co.
lumbia. The remaining FIVE thousand barrels
was distributed among the various mining
camps south and east of this point. In adj
dition to the -four sent away, We produced
sufficient for the home consumption, and
still have on hand an abundant supply to
meet the wants Of the Spring trade. With
another season it is estimated that our sur>
plus -four will foot up in the neighborhood
Of $4,000 barrels, for which we shall find q
market in the different mining Districts
Montana, alone, will take many thousand
barrels, and the mites on the Upper Colum~
bia may be expected to draw heavily upon US
for the "statf of life." Looking at the pros
pect, our farmers should bring every acre
under cultivation and thus be in position to
meet the demands of those who literally de-
pend on US for their daily bread

SUMNER's PLAN OF REcoNsrRUCTIoS.-Iu the
U. S. Senate, on the 4th inst, Senator Sumner,
of Massachusetts,, introduced the following reso-
lutons, which Hay be regarded as the plan
whereby he hopes to delay the reconstruction of
the Union:
RsSolUsd That in order to provide proper
guar for security in future, so that peace
and prosperity shall surely prevail, and the
plighted faith of the Nation be preserved, it is
the duty of Congress to take care that no State
declared to be in rebellion, shall be allowed to
resume its relation to the Union till after salts
factory performance be given, upon several con-
ditions, which conditions by precedent must
be submitted to popular vote, and sanctioned
by majority of the people of each State re-
spectively, as follows Complete re-establish-
ment of loyalty as shown by honest recognition
of the Union, of the Republic, and the duty of
allegiance to it at all times without equivocatiou
Of any kind. Complete suppression Of all oil
garchical pretensions and complete enfranchise!
ment of all citizens, so that thets shall be no
denial Of fights on account of color or race, but
justice shall be equal before the law. Rejection
of the rebel debt, and at the same time adopt in
Just proportion the national debt and national
obligations 70 the Union soldiers, with solemn
pledges never to join in any measures direct or
Indirect for their reputation, or IN any way to
impair national credit. An organization or ed
ucational system for the equal benefit of all /,
Without distinction of color or race choice Of
citizens for Office, whether state or national, Of
constant and undoubted loyalty whose conduct
and conversation shall give assurance of peace
and reconciliation.
ResoIped, That in order to preserve these e;-
sential safeguards, without which national secd;
rity and national faith will be imperiled, States
lately in rebellion cannot be precipitated to pp-
litcal independence, but they mnst wait until
these conditions are in ali respects fulfilled.
