DEMAND FOR HoUsEs.-Notwithstan nding q
large number Of new buildings have been cree
ted within the last six months, there Is still a
great scarcity of houses, both for residences and
business purposes. On Main street there is not
a single vacant tenement, and parties who de-
sire 10 engage in business are compelled to take
up With some OutsOfthe way locality. In the
matter Of houses for residences, they are not to
be had, and scores of persons who desire to
make their homes here are compelled to 90 else
where on account of the scarcity of hoases. We
have already suggested that it would be well il
our men Of means would invest portion of
their surplus funds in the erection of buildings
70 be rented at a reasonable figure. Such IAN
Investment would pay, and at the same time
tend to enhance the general prosperity. If any
thing were required to prove the substantial
character Of our town, we have it in this de
mand for buildings at time when other towns
are complaining Of"dull times" and the words
To Let" meet the eye at every turn. In this
respect, at least, we have escaped the general
depression, and although business is not so good
as it might be, still we have the consolation Of
knowing that we are better of than our neigh
bos.

LIsUoR lSsPEcTIoS.-Under the revenue law
passed at the last session of Congress, all the

branded by the U. S. Inspector. Mr.. d. La.

gagged in this duty for several days past and we
oeheVe has completed the work of inspecting
and branding all the liquor now in store at Walla
Walla. In this connection we hear couplaints
Of the high charge exacted for inspection-lO
cents per gallon. On referring to the law, we
ma mat the District Collector is authorized to

VINO Is carrying out his instructions TO disobev
which would render him Liable to removal from

presume Mr.. Moore acted hastily aud without
realizing what an onerous tax be was imposing
upon dealers in liquors. At time when the
country is groaniug under load of taxation
such as never before was borne by apv peonls
u should be the constant study of officials TO
tighten the public burden and acting in this
spirit the Collector should direct that at leas,

The October Elections.

The October Elections.
The S. F. Cal sums up the result Of'tbe
October election, and adduces figures to
show that the radicals instead of gaining
have lost ground. 1t is true that tbs radi'
calls have obtained control of the Union or.
ganization and that in the late elections they.
succeeded in routing their opponents. But
this Triumph, the result
shows the baneful effects of radical influence
on the Union party. Though the contest
was narrowed down to struggle between
democrats and Unionists, the Union majori'
ties have decreased. In Pennsylvania, the
Union candidate for Governor beats his op>
ponent by only about 5000 votes--Lincoln
carried the State by over 10000 majority.
Indiana has given a small Union majority !;
Lincoln carried the State by over 20, ,000.
In Iowa, the largest Union majority claimed
is $4,000; tho State gave Lincoln 10000.
In the first Ohio (CincinnatD District, Egg
gleston beat Pendleton only 900 votes at
the previous election EgglestOn's majority
was over 24OO--a great falling off In the
Second District, Hayes was elected by 26OO
majority; last election his majority Was over
5000. Schenck's majority in the Third Dis
trict is 1900; last election it was over 275O.
In the Third Indiana District the Union
candidate was elected by only 500 majority
IL election his majority was $50. In the
Eighth, the majority of 0rth (UniOn) was
only 800; last election it was nearly 1900.
1t appears also that the democrats have
gained one Congressman In Indiana, and one
in Ohio. In nearly all quarters, so far as
heard from, there has been a considerable
falling off in the Union majorities, and this
in face Of the fact that, by force of circum>
stances, the people were compelled, in most
instances, to choose between men who were
true TO the country during the war and those
who sympathized with the rebellion. This
result proves conclusively that radical iDAu,
ences are weakening the Union party, but it
does not prove that majority of the people
favor the principles of Thad. Stevens radi
calism. Thousands and thousands of people,
whose detestation of radicalism is but little
less than their detestatiou of treason, have
voted for the Union candidates. In this
view of the situation, it will not do for the
radicals to press their ideas too far. for if
they do, the results of the lale election show
that they will impel the Union party to ruin.
If the radicals attempt tn play false with the
people by continuing to oppose the restora-
ton of the Southern States to their consti'
tutiOnal rights, the people will remorsely hurl
them from power. The people voted for the
restoration of the Union, and not for the
radical ideas of which Stevens, Sumner,
nGtt III H. {RnPtHell and Kelly, arc the oxpo-
to restored Union, but if they do not com>
promise with the people and aid in the work
of restoration, woe unto them, for the people
will have no mercy upon then.
