MADE H' EscAPE.-Herriug the man who killed
l. Kellogg at the Snake River Ferry, some two
weeks since, has succeeded in making his es.
cape. Deputy Sheriff Roberts went up for the
purpose of arresting him, and bringing him to
nalla "alla for trial, but before be got there
the bird had loFn. We now learn that the mu-.
der originated in quarrel about squaw. Kel.
logg, it tapPears, had induced Herring's sqaaw
to leave him, and in revenge for this the murder
was committed. Both the men used weapons,
Herring being shot through tbe arm, and Kel-
logg almost instantly killed.

1t will thus be seen that had the bill be-,

have entailed yearly expense on the couu.

millions of dollars, which, without violation
of the law, could be increased fifty millions
more. This expense for the negro, in adj

dred officers, who, with Custom House, Post
office, and Internal Revenue officers, would
have given the President over fifteen thous>
and men to work in all parts of the Nation
for his political interests and future advance
ment! Is President johnson bad man for
refusing this enormous power, and for saving
the country this enormous sum, by tetoibg
the Freedmen's Bureau bill ? Is he deserving
the condemnation of any rightminded man
for having performed theactl Is not the
price which the radicals demanded in that
bill to much for the people to pay for the
negro, and nothing else? The Freedmep's
Bureau bill would have cost the country at
least sixty dollars for each negro in the land,
and as most, if not all, the expense would be
entailed upon those States which have not
been In the rebellion, the people of those
Statesmen, women, aud children-Would
have had to pay over thirteen dollars and
fifty cents each, to support the negro pet of
the radicals viii the people support the
men who denounOe the President for the re-
fusal to saddle such an enormous burtheu
upon heavily taxed cOuntryY Those who
have taken up arms against the President be-
cause of his veto Of the outrageous Freed

pie to pay dear penalty for their tenaerity

THr Ptb1Io scHooL.-The public spirited ana

TIE PtbLIc scHooL--Ths public spirited and
energetic Direetorsof this school district have
now the pleasure Of displaying as tie result of
their policy and the fberality of their ceustitu-
ents large and Teommodicns school house,
with heurishing school, under the charge of
competent teachers. The contractors; Messrs.
Hoffstetter and Carlton, have finished their con-
tract and delivered the buidingto the directors.
The work upon the house has been done in a
manner oreditable to the above named gentle
men. Commencing the work asthey did in the
fore part of winter and after the delay and dis
appointment of having their first construction
prostrated by the wind; they persevered in their
undertaking through season so inclement as
TO cause an otherwise total suspension of build
ling in the community. The school commenced
ION Monday Of last week, under'the charge of
SAr. Yooam, the efficient Clerk of the district,
sisted by Mr.. Gale, with As scholars, which
filAs since been increased to near 60. The build
ing will accommodate 100 pupils. 1t is to be
hoped that eur citizens will appreciate the ad-
'vautages thusipIaced within the reach Of ALL
We learn that dissatisfaction has beene1pressed
Hu EeBaEu W the Ug ulreS-
tors. We understand the matter thus: Two
annual taxes of two mills each have been levied
for the building of school house. These tax
'es, payable in legal tender, did not in amount,
realize the expectations of the directors. They
amounted to $1,000, which at 10 cents were
equivalent to $3.50 in coin. The contract price
of the house was about S2l75, and the loss sus-
tanned by the blowing down of the building was
SIPS, making about $1,000 as the cost Of the
house. The district received of school money,
$1,000 in currency, or $3.50 in coin-about
equal to the above deficiency. The directors
are under the necessity then of charging tut
tion fee, which viii produce an amount equal to
that paid the teachers. The school money has
ALREADY been used The law requires that
school be kept three months in each year. The
directors have no alternative but to sustain a
school for three months at least on the present
plan. If they are sustained as they should be,
and we have 20 doubt they will be, there is no
reason why they cannot keep it going through
the year. The advantages to be derived this
year from the money expended is free rent
Next year the whole amount of school money can
be applied to the payment of teachers and we
may then congratulate ourselves upon having
secured for the rising generation the advantages
of free school,

PLANT TREEs.-The Oregon Statesman esti-
mates that six hundred shade trees have been
planted at Salem within week or two. From
Vancouver, we also learn that property holders
are displaying great activity in planting orna-
mental and shade trees. We wish that we could
say as much for the people of Walla Walla.-'
With every inducement to plaat trees and gen.
orally beautify their homes, we regret to say that
there is an almost entire neglect in this regard.
A distinguished writer has said, that the charac
s~---O - i--r---t'-' IL s.n"~JS IL sVm1 uegree
indicated by the appearance of the town. 1t is
no ones business to ornament the streets No
one feels it a reProach to himself that verdure
and beauty do not hang like rich curtains over
the street in which he lives. And thus our town
goes on from year to year in a shameless state of
nudity and neglect, because no one feels it his
particular duty to persuade his neighbors to
join him in making the street in which he lives
a gem of rural beauty instead of sorry collec-
tion of uninteresting houses. If there is no pos
sibility of inducing individual property holders
to thus ornament their respective premises, we
might take lesson from the early history of
Sacramento. Thattown was built upon a dreary
plain, and certainly was a most unpromising
looking place. To remedy the defects of nature,
the corporation at an early day adopted plan
ofPlanting trees along all the principal thor
oughfares, imposing tax upon lot holders suf-
heient to cover the actual outlay. In this way
the cost to individuals was but small, whilst the
Improvement was universal. The result Of this
wise fotethought on the part of the city author-
ties is that in the summer season Sacramento is
one of the most delightful towns on the coast,
and the pedestrian can walk for squares and
squares shaded from the sun by the thick foli-
age that everywhere overshadows the Streets
What has been accomplished at Sacramento can
be repeated at Walla Walla, with equal advau.
tage. There is every reason to feel confidence in
the permanence of our town, and recognizing
the fact that many very many of us, will live
identifying our homes. By all means planttrees.

Gen. Cary, of the second Cincinnati dis

tT- Very few persons are aware that
slavery was never abolished by State stat
ute in Massachusetts The first of the
colonies TO institute the slave-trade, which
was upheld, even after the adoption of her
Constitution. in 1880, she took no steps to
abrogate it, but simply suffered 1t to die
out, by exhaustion. The Constitutional
amendment of 1866 only legally abolished
slavery in the OLD puritan garden of its
first culture on the American continent.
Slavery, from the opening of Massachu-
setts history, was always a faVorite and
cultivated Institution. 1t was held to, with
strong grasp, even when given up by
other States, as long as use or traffic rem
dered it valuable. Doubtless it would be
insisted on at this day, had they not de-
vised a system OF white sldUery, that pays
better.

John Robinson, proprietor of the circus
known by his name, was notified last night
at midnight, that an attack was made upon
his circus in the evening when giving an
exhibition at Crittenden, Kentucky, TWEEN
ty-eight miles back OF Covington, and that
big Jim" Robinson was mortally wound
ed, and two of his (John Robinson's) SONS
named John and James, we believe-severe-
ly wounded. We learn that a party of six
or eight rufiians demanded adinittance to
the circus without procuring tickets, and,
being refused, drew pistols and fired q vol
| lev upon those who had charge of the door.
| Big Jim Robinson, who was Master of the
Canvas, was shot through the body, and ut

John Robinson's sons were both shot
through the legs, and their wounds, though
serious, were not considered dangerous
