"WHY AND WHEREFoRE."-Under this
caption, the Oregonian copies approvingly
an article from the Sacramento URiOn,
in which it is attempted to show that
the President in opposing the rebellion was
actuated by no higher motive than selfish
ness, and that at the commencement Of the
war he had everything to gain and nothing
to lose by coming out for the Union. The
article is infamous in conception, and is very
properly bOlstered up by an extract from a
speech by the rebel Wigfall. 1t only shows
to what straits the enemies of the President
are reduced, when they have to filter rebel
speeches in order to find arguments against
the Chief Magistrate of tn e Nation. To
meet these utterances of treason that are now
scattered broadcast over the land through
the columns Of professedly Union papers, we
ouote frn-. ---i- - D--~;rInnt Johnson
written by George L. StearnS, of Boston, a
lifelong abolitionist, and disciple of the
school in which Sumner and Stevens are
shining lights. StearnS opposes with all the
ability he possesses the restoration policy of
the President, but being an honorable oppo-
nent, he scorps to blucken the fame of o
patriot, and in glowing terms bears witness
to the incOrruptible integrity of Andrew
johnson. Here are his words:
What Northern man has given proof of love
of country and fidelity to the Union to be COM
pared with that which Andrew johnson has
given? What Northern man has been so situa-
ted that he could give such proof? Go, read
the records of the Congress of '60-'6i, when,
among all the Senators from his part of the
country, Johnson stood alone, and boldly de-
nounced the rest as traitors read the thrilling
stories of 6l, when he was again and again in
suited, threatened, and assaled by bodies of in
furiate men, when his property was confscated,
his sick wife with her child driven ints the street.
a price set upon his head, and his patriotism
seemed to have for its cost all that men hold
dear on earth, and even of life ITSELF read the
history of his subsequent administration as Mil
itary Governor of Tennessee; and then distrust
" Andy johnson" if you can.
Yes, read the records of the war, ye petty
hounds who are now bowling on the track
of Andrew johnson, and then hunt your
kennels, and forever withdraw from the
withering gaze Of the people you seek to be-

"CAsH MONEY FOR THE FREIGHT."-It
will be seeE from the notice in our advertise
ing columns, that in future all freight bills
on merchandise landed at Wallula must be
paid previous to delivery. Those who desire
a credit on freight accounts must make ar
rangements for the same at the Portland of
fee. Those concerned will take notice.
We know nothing of the reason for this new
regulation, but certainly it will be attended
with great inconvenience to- the majority
of our business men who have heretofore
been in the habit of settling their bills when
called upon by the COmpany's agent 1t is
possible that very few shippers have taken
advantage of this arrangement to secure a
sort of forced credit, but we submit that
the many should not be punished for the
shortcomings of the few.

The WEATHER.-After continuous rains
and fOgS for weeks and weeks, we are now
favored with delightful weahter-clcar, suns
shiny days, and pleasant nights. Under the
influence of the delightful weather, the farm
ers of Walla Walla Valley have gone to work
preparatory to putting in their Spring crops.
Every plough in the Valley has been brought
into requisitiOn, and the prospect is that
more ground will be broke up this season
than in anyiprevious year. The steady de.
mand for agricultural productions, at remu-
nerating rates, serves to stimulate our farm
ers to the utmost, and under this influence
the productive resources of the Valley are
likely to be tasked to their utmost. -.

CRowDED.-Strangers pronounce Walla
Walla the liveliest town of which they have
any knowledge. More men are to be met
here in a day than are found in the decayed
River towns in a month. By virtue of her
location, Walla Walla is the central point of
communication with al the more important
mining districts, and as a consequence men
from all parts Of the Pacific coast are attract
ed here, preparatory to procuring their min%
lug outfits. Money and enterprise have been
laVishly expended in attempts to build up
rival points, but every sFOrt of the kind has
failed. Despite Misrepresentation and ev-
erything else, the miners continue to come
here, and Walla Walla commands her full
share of the mining trade.

WHAT THE PACKERS SaY.-A prom,

Of pack trains, although anxious to secure
eargoes, are unwilling to pack through by way
of the Pen d'Oreille Lake. They regard
the route as Out.OfitheNway, and more objec>
tiOnable than either of the other proposed
lines of travel. These expressions, coming
from packers, are significant. They have no
interests to subserve by favoring any parties
lar route, and by thus declaring against the
Pen dOreille line they afford the very best
evidence of its Objectionable character. In
view of these facts, would it not be we'll for
all parties to unite in favor of opening the
Mullan Road route about the practicable,

CONDITION OF MAIN STREEr.-Teams>
ters tell US that Main stree' is in worse
condition than any road leading out from
Walla Walla. Teams thatreaoh town with
out any difficulty, "stalIg IN the middle of
our principal thorough fare. Take Main
Street from the bridge to its intersection
with Third street, embracing the very heart
Of the business portion of the town, and it
may 6tly be described as a vast sea of mud,
the depths of which teamsters are compelled
to fathom, at the risk of losing their animals.
Just new it it impossible to remedy the evil,
but another season should not be allowed to
pass without having Main street. placed in
thorough repair. We have no hills to grade
away, or depressions to fill in, All that is
necessary is to elevate the bed Of Main Street
say from Is to "a inches, aud round it off
so as to give drainage on either side. GRAY
ol, the very best material for the purpose, is
to be had in unlimited quantities in the i'm
mediate neighbOrhOod of the town, aud hence
the improvement need not involve any very
large outlay. A town as prosperous as Wal
la Walla, can we'll afford an expenditure Of
this kind, and it will speak i'll for the enter
prise of the property holders if they allow
our principal thoroughfare to remain in its
present disgraceful condition. Neglects of
this character attracts the attention of stran-
gers, and serve to give the impression that
we are lacking in enterprise. Let us show
by our action that any such impression is ill.,
founded.

] Compliment to q Maine OMcer.

The following extract not only conveys a
pleasing compliment to- a Maine soldier but
will serve to illustrate the practical working of
the Freedmen's Bureau. 1t appears that the
Bureau is not regarded with such distavor at
the South, as the copperhead press would have
us believe. On the contrary, an officer of the
Bureau who faithfully discharges his delicate
and troublesome duty. may and no doubt often
does "give the most general satisfaction" We
copy from the Savannah Republican:
"We learn with regret that Lieut.. Pollard,
who has administered the affairs of the Freed
mems bureau tor some time past, is relieved,

ment, the 18th Maine Volunteers. Lieut.. p.

There are conflicts of theories, laws, constitu-
tions. Conflicts in all the spheres of proba-
ton of men or nations. Loyalty to princi-
pie will subordinate and reconcile all. That
there should be in these States difference of
character, variety Of. interest, imperfection of
junction, so far from being destructive, is
conducive TO our unity. A body can only
be made by members. Only by differ
.ence can there be harmony, sympathy, SYM
metry. Such Union is something more than
the sum tota, of. the units of which it is COM
posed. The principle which unites them is
also power living and felt through ALL "The
best of all bonds," says Plato, lis that which
forms into one both itself and the natures
bound with it" 145Lt9o2fIW
b There is no antagonism of interest between
a body and its members by the power of
the uniting principle the good of the one is
the good of the other; from people to nations,
and from nations to mankind. This country
is yet young. In the fitness of time we know
not what may be. This nation, like others,
may meulder beneath the weight of her own
luxuriance, and In the time to come we can
not say but higher principles will present deep
er necessities than nationality. But now it is
the nations infancy. Its strength is yet I'M
tried, its resources untasked, its path untrod-
den, its goal unseen. If we now break, we
burst away like asteroids, to have no place in
the obedient systems, nor name among the
consultations. We must not be discovered !;
we shall not be; for there is something vet to
look for in human history. Icannot think we
are at the end of time. The world isold in
the schemes Of men, but young in the plans of
God. When look abroad upon the land and
sea, and note how small portion of them
has yet been turned to profit or to praise; and
more, when 1 look at man, ana. see how poor a
part he has yet accomplished u. the destiny
to. which he Is summoned by all within and all
around him, cannot think the consumma-
ton of history Is yet; but that there is still
before us a long and broad track of great en-
deayor; a future glory of humanity, into
which, if worthy, our acts of to-day shall en-
fer as powers. '~i1A1 a"s

a Bit of Personal Gossip,

The important fact is doubtless well known
to our readers that the Princess Helena oil
England is soon to be united in marriage to-
Prince Christian, the brother OF the Duke of.
Augustenburg. 1t may not, however, be
equally well known that among the new lela-
tives which tits marriage will bestow upon
the daughter of Queen Victoria is an Ameri-
can lady from New York, who will thereby
come to stand to her in the relation of aunt.
1t appears that some five or six years ago an
American lady Of the name of Lee, widow,
and the mother of two beautiful daughters,
established her residence in Paris. She was
of good family, possessed of an ample fortune,
and had the entree of the best circles; all OF
which advantages she employed to such good
purpose as to achieve that very common end
of American ambition, titled marriages for
her daughters. i3J til elaE as7H
One of these became the wife of Baron
Wachter, the Wurtemburg Minister at the
Court of Louis Napoleon. The other inspir-
cd most lively passion in the breast of Prince
Frederic of Augustenburg, the brother of the
reigning Duke, and uncle of the young prince
who is to wed the Princess Helena ,srda
This princely lover of Miss Lee was not pre-
cisely the romantic hero which young girl
might be supposed to fancy, being venerable
widower of something over sixty years, whose
first wife, one of the royal family of Denmark,
had died in 1858. However, the splendor of
the connection or the ardor Of the sutton, who,
despite his sixty years was SO much in love
as to be willing to renounce all claims to his
family succession, proved too powerful to be
resisted; and the young lady, renouncing q
half-formed inclination to unite herself with
the Sisterhood of Saint Catherine assumed
the bridal veil in place of that of the num-
The marriage was celebrated at the EMBASSY
OF the United States in Paris, and the chap
Ply pair" set out on their wedding tour, after
the true American fashion. They had reach
ed Beyrout in Syria, when the prince sudden
ly died. His widow fastened to return to
Paris, to the. house of her sister, baroness
Wachter, where she has since remained, hav-
ing purchased her various honors, including
that of being aunt to an English princess at
the expense Of very brief union with her
antiquated spouse.
Such, at least, is the gossip which comes to
us from over the sea. We do not pretend to
yosch for its truth |; we only tell the tale as it

ductio',, and so to reacta once upon the In


ductio,,, and so to react at once upon the In
tcrests Of the laborer.
This is the point which, it seems to us, the
advocates of Labor Re!ormhave allowed them
ielves to overlook. Seeking to obtain for them
selves an advantage at the expense of the cap
.italist, they fail to perceive that such an adj
vantage, if gained, must ultimately rebound
to their own injury. "When capital ceases to
be profitable in one branch Ofdusiness it seeks
another. and if there be no other home it goes
elsewhere. If threatened Nth unjust legal
coercion or popular uiolence, 1t Disappears
1t is very timid and far sighted, and runs away
and hides itself at the approach of danger. Its
Withdrawals proof that the body-politic is
sick for it is the vlifesblood of business; and
when it goes, enterprise languishes, trade be-
comes inactive, production is diminished,
wealth ceases to accumulate, poverty over
takes all classes, wages fall, labor becomes de-
graded and slavish, and civilization decays"
Il The Eight Hour movement is in fact in the
nature Of gigantic strike, onlyit is proposed
to call in legislative aid to strengthen and en-
force it. 1t is an arbitrary attempt on the part
of one ofthe parties to bargain to dictate
terms in which the other party has an equal
interest, and consequently right to an equal
voice. Unsuccessful it would inevitably induce
disastrous results to the very class it seeks to
benefit; but we incline to the opinion that it
does not carry sufficient force to ensure it ev-
EN- temporary success. There are other as
poets of this question, to which we may refer
at some other time. 1NF - II ,
