Swinton's History Of the Army of the
Potomac, discloses the fact, not hitherto
made public, that General Grant at FIRST de
cidedly opposed the plan of an overland
march to Richmond, and strongly urged a
movement from the south side of James
River. If he had firmly adhered to this
opinion, he might have had his own way,
and so avoided the delay and loss of the
terrible march through Virginia but he
allo,ced himself to be orerruled. 1t now ap

The Truth Coming Out.

ANC NO1h1E& cut.
The New York World says that the
New England manufacturers are pre-
pairing to promote measures for the
free admission of provisions and the
raw materials of nanufactory. In
the moment of hot haste, in favor of
exclusive trading, and led by Nor
rill, the chief authority in Congress
on all questions of commerce, they
aided in destroying the treaty with
the British Provinces, admitting pro-
visions, &c, free of duty, into the
United States.
Now they begin to see the evil re-
suits of such legislation upon their
own affairs. Makers of woolen goods
want cheap wool, to save our woolen
manufacturers. The proprietors of
saw-mills are clamoring for cheap
saw-logs, and the importation of
cheap provisions for laborers, and
duty free is at last appreciated by
manufacturers.
But the protective theory is, that
all classes ought to be benefited
alike by it. The manufacturer is to
have double price for his goods, be-
cause, by providing . home market
for the productions of the farmer, all
are to gain alike, as the two boys
made handsome little capital for
their first start. in life, by trading
their two jack knives with each other
at nominal prices, of a perpetually
upwards tendency.
Some of the Western members
spelled out the first monosyllable in
the lessons of political economy, in a
very creditable manner in the discus
sion of the tariff One of them said,
"Give us a heavy duty on foreign
wheat; protect us as the manufac-
turers are protected, and we will all
prosper alike What could the man
ufacturers do but applaud to the
echo o proposition so reasonable?
The World then says:
''But at this point in the progress
OF the reasoning comes in the fatal
and really incontrovertible argument
If few only are to receive le gisla-
tive benefits, and be paid high prices
for the products Of their industry,
the legi islation is partial and unfair;
it must be equal to all, or it cannot
be just; and if it is equal to all, none
can gain anything by it. Few would
urge many objections to the gain of
any set OF Congressional lobbyists
and their constituents by influencing
legislation for their own benefit, di-
rectly OF indirectly, by open avowal,
or even under the covert guise of
deceptive patriotism, provided voting
created the money put into their
pockets, and it were not to be paid
at the expense of the community.
These votes of money under the pre-
tence OF protection. cost the nation
at least twice as much as they bene-
tit the monopohsts who seek them"
We will watch and wait patiently
for the result Of this New England
movement.

The propositions already intro
duced into Congress for establishing
Territorial Governments over the
Southern States fully exhibit the un-
appeasablo malignity of the Congress
sional Jacobins. There is neither
rhyme nor reason in their diabolical
malice. They frame bills without
reference to the Constitution or the
dictates Of craftsmanship. The in
terests of the nation, which: they are
sworn to protect, do not enter into
their political philosophy. Revenge
is their guiding star, and the deter
mination to hoad on to political pow
er is their moving. principle. The
record Of their excuses will be the
blackest and dirtiest chapter in our

FRIDAY, October 10, 1885,
We have no particular change to notice IN Ouf
domestic market. The principal movement mas
been in Flour, large quantities Of which @ie
being freighted to the Boise mines. In the Gram
market we note a continued disposition on the
part of farmers not to sell at ruling rates. The
great majority of them are storing their crops
with view to holding for an advance. The
failure of the crops in Europe, as also in the
Atlantic States, cannot fail to produce demai
for the surplus 6readstuffs on the Pacific coast,
and With this demand will follow an advance in
price. In San Francisco every vessel that can
be chartered is being loaded with Flour for ship
ment abroad, and in that way California is rap
idly being drained of her surplus breadstubS.
In view of all the facts, it is fair to conclude
that Grain will soon advance in price and that
those who hold on to their crops Will be gamers
thereby.
Our merchants just now are busily engaged
in receiving their fall and winter stocks of mer'
chandise, and judging from the extent of these
stocks, the conclusion is irresistible that they
expect an unusually brisk trade. We cin assure
interior purchasers that larger and better as
sorted stocks of goods can be found at Walla
Wala than at any point north Of San Francisco,
and that these stocks will be sold at very small
advance upon !he original cost.
IN the early part of the week we noticed Il
large train of OK teams, heavily loaded with
merchandise, passing through town on the way
to the. Boise country. These teams had loaded
at Wal:ula, preferring to freight from that point
rather than encounter the sandy deserts that
characterize the Umatila route. Teamsters and
packers engaged in the Boise trade all prefer to
freight from WalIula, and with another season
we may expect the greater part of the trade to
pass this way.

DOING WELL.-Dr. Gibson, the attending
physician, informs Us that Geo. Greer, the
young man who had his right arm torn off
in threshiug machine, is doing well. 1t
seems that Greer was oilng the machinery
at the time Of the accident, and that Lis
shirt sleeve became entangled in the cogs of
the jaek-wheel and drew the arm 10 with it
grinding it completely of. The first the at.
tendants knew of the accident was seeing
Greer holding up the bloody stump and
shouting that his hand was gone - This
accident should teach lesson to others en-.
gagged in attending thrcshing machines. 1t
is always dangerous to oil the machines
whilst in motion, and it has been owing 10
carelessness 10 this regard that some four or
five serious accidents have occurred IN this
Valley within the last month.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN AS AN ORAroR.-

Westminister ReUieV for the last month says:
at has but one cqual-in that pronounced
upon those who fell during the first year Of
the PelOpOnesian war-and in one respect it
is superior to that grea. speech. Il is not
only more natural, of feeling, more touching
