lie from Hon. S. S. Fem at Florence, dated
August 18th, says Ha iris and Ripsona are elected

doubtful, either Hunt, Republican, is elected or it
is a tie with Manuel, Democrat. The balance of

ITEMS FROM BELOW.

Mr.. Il. BLEDsoE gives US the following
items from the road:
The weather at Umatilla was very holland
dusty. Crops were being harvested, and
threshing out grain in tie different Vallies
along the route had commenced in earnest.
A large yield of grain, this year, will be real
lied in Walla Walla and Grand Ronde VAL
lies, while the yield is very good along Burnt
and Weiser rivers. Snake river was APP
preaching low water mark Weiser and Pay
etc are fordable. The sun has dried up grass
along through Idaho and Oregon, except
high table lands and mountains. Snow is
still visible on the Powder River Mountains.
A new quartz vein has been discovered near
Col. Ruckle's mill in Powder Valley, of suf-
6cient richness to warrant working. Another
Indian raid was made on Burnt River, near
Express Ranch, Oregon, in which Mr.. Jarvis
lost six head Of horses. The Indians retreat
ed, as usual to the head of Malhner river
with their plumber Haily 4 Cos stages still
continue to run loaded both ways, carrying
and freight with dispatch. The
roads are dusty, with the exception of the
Blue Mountains, which are pleasant to the
tired traveller after coming over sage brush
plains. The Warm Springs (Messrs. Clute
& Kelly's station) on the western slope Of
Blue Mountains, is place of great resort
during hot weather, where plenty of trout
and berries are to be had, with the finest
warm baths in the upper country.
j FROM THE NORTH Hon. g. D, Holbrook
has received letter from Maj. McDaniele, at
Lewiston, from which we learn that Kirkpat-
rick has Is majority in the three counties of
Sez Perez, Shoshone and Idaho. In the Con-
yressional election Of 1864 these counties
gave a majority of 1873 against Holbrook.
The Democratic ticket in Nez Perez county
$ elected, with the exception of the candi-
late for County Clerk. Other counties not
leard from entire.

Coming EIHrCNtS

The latest adyices from the East fore.
lode u tremendous CONFUSION in that quar-.
ter Of the globe. The little spark of wal
kindled in Canada is rapidly spreading in
to a wide conhagration, in which what re-
mains of the great Ottoman Empire will
be swept away, and the doninions of the
Gar be extended to the shores of the Med
iterranean. There is more prospect Of the
near approach of this inevitable event than
ever before. 1t is stated that the armies
Of Russia are moving down to the lower
Danube, that RussianrecrUitng officers are
at work in Greece, and that the authorities
Of Greece cooperate with them.

AT Their Old work

The Northorn Democrats, in urging the
South. to reject and spurn the Constitu-
tional Amendment, are, under the guise of
friendship, doing the same sort Of harm to
the Southern people that they have SO
often done in times past. Everybody
knows how these same Northern Demo
cratic leaders encouraged the South in its
violent Pro-slayery policy ten years ago,
encouraged it in the course that preciplta-
ted rebellion six years ago, and again in
persevering in treason three years ago.
And everybody knows how terribly the
South suffered in each instance from fol-
lowing the course which the Northern
Democratic leaders advised. We should
think that even these Pachydermatous
leaders themselves would begin to feel some
compunctlons in the premises, and desist
from their foolish course, so often con
dcmncI by the Northern people, so disas-
lrous to the Southern people, and 50 dam
aging to themselves. But it seems that
for them, in this case, misfortune teaches
no lesson, suffering no wisdom. There are
political advantages which they are mad
enough to think even yet they will gain,
and they viii persist in pursuing them,
though general ruin be the result. If the
Southern people will now spurn the advice
which the Northern Democratic leaders
give them in regard to the Amendment,
aud adopt the course which is dictated at
once by expediency and necessity, they
will not only improve their own political
fortunes, but will put the last nail in the
coffin of party which ought to have been
buried seven years ogo.

N5OSes-A Parallel,

The Radical UnioniSts in the Western
States are enjoying a parallel ran by some
wit on the prairies between our Johnson
"Moses" and the Moses of Scriptures,to the
effect that:
Moses led his people through the sea
Johnson led his into it.
Moses asked Pharaoh to let the people
90; Johnson was asked by Congress to LET
the people 90, but wouldn't.
Moses cast down and broke the tables OF
the law; so has Johnson.
Moses erected a serpent in the wilderness
and the people lived; Johnson erected a
serpent in New Orleans and the people
died.
Moses slew an Egyptian; johnson slews
himself.
Moses had Aaron for spokesman; John
has his spokesman. Aaron made and
showed a calf; Johnson's man made and
showed a menagerie,
Moses ate quails in the wilderness; John
son entertained squalls" at the White
House
Moses sang a song of triumph; johnson
sings on the other side of his mouth
Moses was angry with the people; SO is
Johnson.
In Moses time there were plaques by
reason Of hanging on to Slavery, and main
tanning the slave power; SO there are in
John8on's
Moses esteemed reproach greater than
the riches of Egypt, for he had respect unto
the lecompense Of reward; johnson esteems
his policy" far above reproacb, and had
respect unto the reeompense Of the pardon
brokers.
Moses was the meekest individual; John
son is the 'umblest individual.
Moses sent spies to spy out the land, and
they brought back an evil report; so did
johnson, and they brought back increased
radical majorities.
Moses didn't bring his people into the
promised land; 50 didn't johnson.

THE BALTEM0RE TROUBLE.

As we go TO press we receive the unex-
pected news that Governor Swahn has re-
tnoyed the Baltimore Police Commission
ers, The evidence, so far as it has reached
us, certainly seemed to warrant no such
decision We hope the Governor has not
acted without the clearest and most decided
evidence; for he has, in the whole case,
taken upon himself very serious respon-
siblity.
We suppose that the Commissioners
will, acting on several precedents, decline
to give up their offices, and thus oblige the
men nominated in their places by the Gov
ernor to move the courts to oust them.
Thus the matter may be peaceabIy and
and properly tested and decided.
If Governor Swami should attempt to
use force, as his remark about calling on
the President would seem to hint, he would
put himself so graveIy in the wrong, that
he could not expect the support or coun-
tenance of the publicly 7. Ere. Post.

'rhe Alabama Claims.

The London Times once more urges
the appointment of a commission to settle
the Alabama claims. When, during the
war, some hot-heads were advocating a
declaration of war against England, on ac-
count os the Alabama's injuries to our
commerce, the EVENING PosT urged pa
tience, on the ground that very soon after
the rebellion was crushed, England would
beg us, as a favor to her, to accept Of full
payment for all damages inflicted.
The fact is, the Alabama precedent
hangs over the British government like a
nightmare. Nothing wonld be so annoy
ing or embarrassing now, to England, as
for us to refuse payment for our losses, and
accept the arguments of English writers
and officers during the war as presenting
the true meaning of the neutrality laws
and the whole duty Of a neutral towards a
belIigerant
We need not be impatient, therefore,
about the settlement Of the Alabama
Gains; England is much more anxious to
pay than we are to receive 1t would be,
however pleasant revenge for us if the
Tories, who now have power, should settle
these claims; for they were the fast friends
of the rebels during the whole war; they
contributed money, and support in Parlia-
ment; and they insisted that the whole
Alabama business was legitimate and right.
1t will not do them any harm to eat a mess
of humble pie baked in Yankee oyen.-

The End of the Mexican 3 Business

The Mexican business, so far as the en-
pire Of Maximilian is concerned, evidently
draws to a close. The French troops will
soon be withdrawn, Maximilian will 90 back
to his home in Austria, and the Mexicans
will be left to work out their destiny once
more after their own fashion.
Notwithstanding the fact that Maximil-
ian has given, and if supported would pro-
baby have continued to give, to Mexico a
much more stable and promising Govern
ment than amid the multtudinous rey0lu-
tons and counter-revolutions of tbe past
she has been able to secure for herself, still
his empire could not be looked upon with
favor by Americans, and It's downfall will
be accepted with cheers rather than with
regrets. It's establishment was, under all
the circumstances attending 1t, one Of the
seyerest of the many insults with which
during the rebellion we were obliged to put
up from foreign countries Not only was
it defiant violation of the Monroe doctrine
which for more than forty years had been
cherished policy of the American people,
but it was avowedly done for the purpose
of making counterpoise in the interest of
foreign countries-of the Latin race" as
the Emperor Napoleon termed it-against
the growth and influence of the United
States. Moreover, it was always believed
by the masses Of our people that the estab-
Iishment Of Mayimiian's empire, just at the
time and under all the circumstances of that
event, was gone into with direct reference
to an Intervention in behalf of the Rebels,
had their success, or our own complications,
ever presented favorable occasion for such
a movement. 1t was in view of this that
Gen. Grant once denounced Maximilians
occupation Of Mexico as "a part Of the re-
belIion."
The downfall, therefore, of this protege
of foreign despotism, and CT the Govern
ment which he has been endeavoring to
establish, is a most gratifying circumstance
to American pride aud patriotism. 1t is
likely to be accomplished without our firing
a shot or losing man.
But, now, what is to become of Mexico
herself? is the next question. Already
there are rival claimants Of her government
Besides Juarez, who has held on wonder
fully for the last four years, aud deserves
well of the Mexican people, there is General
Ortega, who claims to be the constitutional
head of the country, and General Santa
Anna who is ready for anything that may
turn up. Probably the United States gov
ernment nay have to decide the matter in
the end; and in that event Juarez will be
the fortunate man. Let US hope, that who
ever is placed in power, Mexico will have,
what to her would be the greatest of all
possible blessings, a wise, firm, and stable
Government.

Official Majority for Governor.

Gearys official majority, for Governor,
is I5l78-the whole number of votes
polled having been 59737O. Had the
laws Of Pennsylvania, and of the United
States been fairly administered, John w.
Geary would have had at least 10000
more votes than Hester Clymer. In cleo
ton districts controlled by Clymer's friends,
the polling of fraudulent votes was unpre-
cedented. Deserters were given votes
foreigners illegally naturaIized were allowed
to vote-and by other frauds the Copper
head vote was largely increased In this
manner Geary's majority was kept below
10000. But we have triumphed in the
face of fraud, and our victory fixes the fate
Of the country for good.

A Slight difference.

Among the solicitations made to non-resi-
dents for aid in building our church at Ray
mond, were one to Hon. VIM. E. Dodge, of n
:, aid one TO another gentleman largely in
terested in Real Estate in this conuty, (not a
resident).
Mr.. Dodge says to Rev. J. L. Swain:
81 have read your favor of the 9Th and 18th
ulta with that Of Mr.. Calkins, with interest. |
have concluded to say that if you can raise
$500 will send YOU $500 to make up the
$1,000"
may add. that when we wanted this mon
ey it wat forwarded Immediately, without ask
ing if we had met the condition. Without this
timely CASH aid we could not have pushed our
house with the vigor that was shown during
the summer; and could not, as we have now
done, enclosed it before cold weather.
Letter No. 9
al. BIRD: Yours of the 9th asking for a
contribution for Presbyterian Church, | have
lust received. Although Of all Protestant de-
Nominations | regard the peculiar tenets of the
Presbyterian the most narrow and obiectiona-
BILE; yet in times past | have regarded all
Christian Churches as desirable and of good
service in a community.
"Now, unfortunately however for the public
morals, social order and the Christian religion,
the Devil has taken possession of too many
of the pulpit7 of the land, desecrated them into
political rostrums, and has, no doubt, reaped a
rich harvest of sJulS for his dominions | have
been driven from my own church because of
political preaching and desecration of religion,
and lock upon all Of these institutions now-a-
days as Prj0aa taeia of one stamp. There are
however, some bright spots and rare exceptions
that are as May roses in the desert of vice and
irreligiOn now SO general throughout the land,
and could | know that the chnrch you purpose
to aid is, or would be, one of these exceptions;
would gladly help it. Otherwise, ! think
you are much better off as you are, with none
at all''
While there may be too much truth in the
charge of pulpit desecration, the conclusion is
hardly correct, that the pulpit of the country
speaks to no good purpose; and we hoTe to

preached and from which men shall be in

BG~ Cowan, the renegade, it is now as
serted, is to be put at the head of the War
Department, when his term as Senator is
out, 1t seems fitting that man who re
fused to aid his government in its fierce
struggle with traitors, who, in war for the
life of the nation, sympathized with its
foes, should be put at the head Of the War
Office at time Of peace, and when the
affairs of that government are within the
grasp of the friends of traitors. It would
be inconsistent with Andrew Johnson 5
purpose to have any man bat a doughcace
as Secretary Of War.

Pers state that within six months $780,

as a result of Johnson's Administration

result of the acts of the peoples Congress
which Andrew johnson opposed all the
time while lis acts during that period
tended to destroy confidence and business,
and impair the receipts Of the government.

RnNii Increase

Returns lately sent in to the Census
Office give us an interesting glimpse into
the growing prosperity of the country. 1t
seem from them, that notwithstanding

creasing at the rate of million a year.
The Western and Northwestern States
are mainly absorbing this added population.

SWINGING ROUND AGAIN.-We have
faith in Andrew Johnson, but if the fol-
lowing from the pen of Col. Mcclure of
the Franklin Repository indicates anything
at all, it is that the recent elections have
sobered Andy. The Colonel says in his

that he would be in harmony with Con

ed but few comparatively; that he lost
largely by it; that every appointment Of
Tended all who were disappointed, while
his appointees very often voted the Repub-
