Grain Prospect.

The Toledo Blade has the following in
Saturdays paper regarding the raise in
the price of wheat and the grain crop:
sAdvices from almost every quarter at
the West report the rain interfering with
the harvest of the wheat crop. We are
of the opinion that the statements to a
great extent are made with view to ad-
yancing the prices Of wheat, and in this
they are successful. There are probably
several millions of bushels of spring wheat
held at the West by parties who paid more
for it than it would bring at any time
since, and those acquainted in CONNER
cial circles understand that it would not
be difficult matter to effect the market
sufficient at this time to enable the afore-
said holders to save themselves. .Croak-
ers' abound, and they were never more
active than at present. The result of the
present effort to advance prices will shift
the responsibility little and well will it
be for those who are shrewed enough to
steer clear of load of highpriced
wheat"

ing is true copy Of letter received
in Boston, from across the water:
My Dear Nephesc II have not heard
anything of ye sence that last time I
wrote ye. I have moved from the
place where now live, or I should
have written to you before. / did not
know where letter might find you
first; but I now take my pen in hand
to drop you O few lines, to inform. you
of the death of your own living uncle,
Fitzpatrick. He died very suddenly,
after long illness of six months. Poor
man, he suffered great deal Helay
long time IN commissions, perfectly
quiet and speechless, and all the time
talking incoherently and enquiring for
water. I'm very much at loss to tell
you what his death was occasioned at /:
but the doctor thinks it was occa-
stoned by his last sickness, for he was
not well ten days during his confne-
ment. His age ye know just as well
as can tell ye; he was Twenty-Five
years old last March, lacking fifteen
months; and if-he had lived till this
time, he would have been six months
dead iist.
n B-Take notis, I enclose to We q
910 note, which your father sends TO
ye unbeknown to me. Your mother
often speaks of ye; she would like to
send you the brindle cow, and would
enclose her to We but for the horns,
I would beg of you not to break the
seal of this letter until two or three
days after ye read it, by which time
yen be better prepared for the sor-
rowfnl news.

The Test Oath.


The Hon. Ben. Fl. Hill, Of Georgia,
one of the leading men Of that State,
wrote as follows before tho recent elec-
ton:
The oath is unconstitutional, be-
cause it adds to, and varies from, the
oath required by the Constitution.
This is settled by several adjudica-
tons
The oath is unwise, unnatural, and
unprecedented, because it is retractive
in its requirements 1t does not seek
to secure proper conduct in an officer;
but does seek to exclude him from the
Office altogether by reason ofsomething
done, or not done, long before the Office
was copferred.
IF Congress can prescribe one test il
can prescribe any other test; and thus
by legislation, destroy the right of rep
resentation.
I would vote for no man to repre-
sent Georgia who could take this oath;
becasue.it is the highest evidence of
infdelity to the sentiments of the peo-
| pie OF The State.
! / would vote for no man, anywhere:
who rould take this oath; because it
is the highest evidence of infdelity to
the Constitution. The man who takes
that oath admits a posUer IN Congress to
destroy every department Of the govern
meat as well as every right cf repre-
sentation.
I am candidate for no Office, and
will seek none. The man who aoishes
now to be representative in Congress
from the South either does not COM
prehend the very unpleasant and very
heavy duties of that position, or has
made up his mind to hold the position
without discharging the duties. In
either case he is not fit to be trusted.
There is no danger now from any
spirit of resistance Ill Georgia. The
only danger comes from an opposite
direction-serUility. ! intend to be
loyal myself, and I have not been
faithless 20 any obligation | ever as
sumed-eyen when unwillingly assum-
ed. I resisted secession until resis-
tance was hopeless, and then I resis-
ted subjugation until resistance was
hopeless. Iwould If could change
my record.
But l will help no man to represent
Georgia whose fidelity to the S'ate is
doubtful, or whose ability and willing
ness to maintain and vindicate the
honor of her people. living and dead,
is suspicious. I viii vote for no man
to administer the Constitution who, in
the very beginning of his work, would
| take an oath which admits q power IN
Congress to subvert that Constitution.
Each House of Congress is the sole
; judge as to whether persons seeking
seats have the qualifications prescribed
by the Constitution, and have been
elected and returned according to the
laws. The people are the sole Judges
of every other qualification. Other.
wise Congress can nulify or even des.
troy the right of election secured tc
! the people alone, and thus make Con.
gressional despotism.
: The right of the States to represen.
tation in Congress is the clearest of al
rights under the Constitution. It il
the right without which no other right
can exist. and no obligation can be i'm,
posed. I have an abiding faith that
the President will not permit its des-
truction by test oaths or otherwise
Hewas for the Union against the South
and it is my opinion that he will show
himself for the Union against Massa.

The Message OF Love Through

The following beautiful and touch
iny letter is from the pen of Mrs. JEFF
ferson Davis, and it breathes the very
spell of beauty, and wreathes itself
around the heart, and sends the gush-
ing tear to the eye, hot with sympathy.
How patiently she endures, while with
equal patience the husband-the faith
er-the bravest of the brave, sends his
cheering notes of encouragement to
wife, children and countrymen. My
own heart says the gallant sufferer
tells me the sympathy exists--that the
prayers from the family hearth are not
hushed. No, good sir, they are not

Who suffered so much during the great
contest, is willing to suffer-but while
he is in the dungeon, the constant
theme Of newspaper gossip--the world
looks on amazed and admiring. This

Say, must this cloud of grief, my friend,
Forever DER thy pathway lowerg
Will thy deep anguish never end,
Ne'er yield to Times eonsoling power?
And is thy daughters mournfnl doom,

Some fatal labyrinth, In whose gloom
Thy wandering soul is doom'd to stray?

REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION IN New YoRK
CITY.-The New York correspondent
of the Louisville Democrat, in speak
ing of the late city election, says:
81 have it on authority [ am not dis
posed to dispute, that the Republicans
spent two hundred thousand dollars in
their recent attempt to elect Marshal
O. Roberts Mayor of the city. Just
before the closing OF the polls On cleo
ton day, SIS, in many cases, was paid
for single votes. s5im' Irving, the
notorious pugilist, received 6, 900 alone,
the evening previous, to be used among
the dangerous classes, with whom he
is a recognized leader. The reports is,
however, that Vim invested $1,000,
and placed the balance in bank subject
to his own order. That was smart for
Jim. It was a point with the Loyal
Legaltehder' aristocracy to Garry New
York city, and hitch it, along with Phil
adelphia and Boston, to the car Of
Black Republcanism; they thought
greenbacks alone could do the Job, but
the election returns showed how wretch.
edly their corrupt scheme miscarried. .
It is gratifying to know that the cor
ruptionists were defeated, and that
Hoffman-De Democrat elected.

Death is the sternest lord of all;

WALLA WALLA, June 10, 1865
Ed. STATEsMAN:-In your last weeks
issue noticed proclamation to the people
of this county, issued by authority Of the
vigilance committee. As a matter of infor-
nation for my future guidance, and also 10
the hope of having some parts of said proc
lamation explained by the committee, am
induced to make the following inquiries:
LIST, The committee say they will "redress
all crimes" desire to know whether they
mean by this, to punish the perpetrators of
crime, or, as the language implies, make
some attonement for criminal acts. If the
committee mean the latter, it strikes me that
criminals will have have good thing.
End. The committee say they will "exe-
cute summary Justice between the perpetra-
tors of crime and law>abing citizens l de-
sire to inquire of the committee whether
or not they, as members of the organiza-
ton, Call themselves law>abiding citizens:
If they are law-abiding, then am certainly
not. The supreme law of the land, (sup>
posed to be supreme,J teaches that 'no per-
son shall be deprived of lifej liberty or prop
erty except by due process of law" and L
have always been taught to revere and obey
the supreme law. Show, me, who will, why
| should favor anarchy and mobocracy now.
Cannot the laws of the land be maintained
here. | believe they can, and justice meted
out much better in this way than it can be
done outside of the law, by Tom. Dick and
Harry. | wish to see the perpetrators of
crime punished, aud punished to the full
extent Of the law; what good citizen does
noty 1t seems to me that if some of the
peoplo Of this community would show half
the zeal and industry in ferretiug out crime
iu lawful way, that they do in midnight
excursions and ii hap-hazzard way, Life aad
property would be much more secure and
the ends ofjustice much better maintained
If vigilance committee rule is to nsurp the
functions of courts of law, and take cogni-
zdnce of all offences, 10 matter of what grade,
then we can have no need of constitutions,
laws, Cr courts, and the useless appendages
might as well be abolished altogether. and
every one turn his attention 70 bush>whacl
