CONDEMNS HIMsELF.-G. w Blunt, prominent
Radical of New York, in letter to the Tribune
short time ago, revealed the fact that at the be-
ginning of Lineoln's first Administration Secretary
Seward was in favor of surrendering Forts Sum
ter and Pickens to the rebels, and condemns him
very bitterly for bis conduct at that time. Mr..
Blunt shows that he knew the facts at the period
they occurred, and of course, has known them
ever since. Down to few months ago, Mr.. Blunt
has been conspicuous among the very ardent ad-
mirers and supporters of Mr.. Seward, and could
not sufficiently express his high praise of the
public services of that statesman. Now that
Seward is in favor of the Presidents policy how.
ever, and opposed to the ruinous plans of the
Radicals, Mr.. Blunt finds it difficult to use Ian
guage sufficiently severe to condemn Mr.. Seward.
He seems to forget that in raking up these old
events which he approved at the time, and con.
demning them now as he reveals them himself, he
but adds to his OWN infamy. He not only plays
the informer against his old idol but proves him,
self vile hypocrite in having SO long protested
to approve thing which he now considers so de-
serving of public denunciation. Dull Mr.. Blunt,
Base Mr.. Blunt!

THEIR WAY.-The grand Jury of Portland
Oregon, at their last session, indicted thirty
two retail liquor-dealers for selling liquor on
Sunday. In the same city there are many low,
vile haunts, kept by Chinese and depraved
whites, open to public notice but not one of
these houses came under the ban of the grand
jury. They were consistent Radicals of the
true Puritan type, who cut the not out of
several of the ten commandments in order to
promote their own qualification in certain
way, but who punish drinking as heinous
offence. Sanity fellows.

The PIoUs TURNCoAT. For several months
preceding the late elections East, Henry Ward
Beecher spoke and wrote against the Radi-
calls, and asserted that their success would
be equivalent to an overthrow of the consti-
tutional Government Notwithstanding this,
the whole week before the election in New
York, he exhorted his congregation to vote
the Radical ticket. By bis own words and
acts he either makes himself out great liar,
or is in favor of the overthrow of the Gov
ernment.

An INsTANcE.-Th following item appears
among the dispatches of the week, dated
November 18th !:
A horrible outrage was committed in Somer
vile, Mass. last Friday morning, on the wife OF
Rev. David A. Wasson, a we'll known Boston cler.
gyman and writer for the Atlantic Monthly, being
brutally outraged by vagrant negro, at her own
house, while the rest Of the family were absent.
As our readers know, the Atlantic Monthly
is the chief Radical periodical of New Eng
land. The Rev. Mr.. WATSON is prominent
Radical, one Of the men who preferred civil
war, disintegration ofShe Union, and the ex-
termination of the white people in the South,
SO that slavery should be abolished, to peace,
Union, and contented people
all the States, with slavery as it
was. He has been fanatical champion of
the negro. Mark the fendish brutality of
one of his much Wanted ssmen and brothers"
towards his own wife. 1t is shocking in
stance of the argumentum ad homlnem.

ALL OF THEM RIGHT.-There is at present
much discussion, assertion and contradiction
going on between the Radical organs them
selves as to what really was Abraham Lin
coins plan of reconstruction, and his policy
toward the South. The disputants assert
that they severaIly have irrefragible evidence
Of the correctness of their own particular
statements, from the hand or lips of Mr.. Lin
coin himself, and yet all of them differ, in
some instances nearly as widely as the poles.
We believe they are all armed with just such
evidence as they assert, because we do not
believe there is any issue which at all re-
ceived Lincoln's attention, upon which he
did not, st one time or another, express every
variety and shade of opinion. He was never
true to any doctrine or opinion for month
ct time. At one time he went so far in Sc.
Cessicnism as to declare that even a county.
could throw off its duty to the State it was
IN, and when it became his interest to take
the other tack he asserted that under no con-
tingency could sovereign State secede from
the Union. When inaugurated, he declared
he had not the legal authority nor the dispo-
sition to interfere with slavery he reiterated
the same declaration early in September,
1862; and yet two weeks after the latter Pc
'Eiod he proclaimed all slaves free in nearly
every portion of the Union. He solemnly
vowed, snxhis Inauguration address and mes
sage, to abide by, support and protect the
Constitution. In little more than month
from that tine he needlessly and inexcnsably
violated it, and during his whole term OF Of
fee continued 10 wantonly violate and disre-
gard that sacred instrument He pledged
himself to the freedom of speech and of the
press he commenced, at the outset of his
reign to gag and suppress and crush both,
and imprisoned citizens and destroyed press
es for legitimately and rightfully exercising
that right. He wrote and spoke both
against negro suffrage and in favor of it;
against admitting the Southern States to
their old places in the Union, and in favor of
doing so. He wrote and spoke against sub
ordiaating the civil to the military authority, |
and yet, himself, crushed down the civil tri- |
5u1als and civil authority all over the coun-
Try, and made the military power supreme
and unlimited in its wild exercise of power.
4e took, in brief, nearly all sides to all ques-
ions, as the whim or caprice swayed him in
writing or speaking, but almost always acted
q unison with the most despotic, arbitrary
nd proscriptiye cOunselors. 1t would be
oily to expect that such man had not left
'ehind him every character Of opinions on
very important subject ever submitted to his
Consideration.

The PYLE SwINDLE.-We are glad to see
that the Walla Walla Statesman is calling the
attention Of the public to the Pyle Toll Road
swindle, between Baker City and Uniontown,
on the read between here and UmatilIa. 1t
ia shameful robbery Of teamsters, packers,
and all travellers by the knavish fellow, Pyle,
who claims to own the road. Transfers,
packers, and stage owners ought to refuse
payment, and we are quite sure suit at law
would develop the thing to be an arrant
cheat and swindle on the part of Pyle, who
has no legal right to charge toll.

AN UsURpER.--Gen. Sheridan orders his
subordinate officers in Texas to resist any
arrests attempted among them by the civil
authorities. Gen. Washington-that vir-
ginia rebel we read of-was verdant enough
to think that, in our Government, the military
was subordinate to The civil authority. The
mighty Sheridan believes in no such foolery.
he knows that be, himself, is above all civil
law as he is beyond all civil demeanor

| A SAVAGE Radcliffe Statesman of last Tues.
day contains an account of an Indian raid on the
Boise and Owyhee road last Saturday. Two men,
named G. G.. Waltse and - Walsh, who were
camped on an island in Snake river, about two
niles from the ferry were wakened by their dogs,
about one o'clock in the morning. Thinking that
cayetes were around, Walsh went out with his gun
to drive them off. A shot sent through his groin
CONVINCED him that Indians were about. He fired
and shot the Indian who hit him. He and Waltse
then ran andhid in the willows on the river bank
until four oclock when they went to the ferry for
assistance. The persons at Owyhee ferry were
alarmed by their dogs before daylight, but the
Indians committed no other damage than cutting
loose the lower ferry boat. That Afternoon man
named Sims came in haste to the ferry and re-
ported that train OF teamsters had been attacked
by Indians about six miles back on the road, and
four or five men killed. The facts, as soon subse
quently aseertained, were that Frank Mccoy, T.
Hall and ]. G. Adams were each driving four
mule team laden with freight for OWyhee, and
sims was riding on horseback by them. About
Two o'clock in the afternoon, as Mccoy and Ad
ans were doubling teams to ascend a bill in the
canon this side of Reynolds creek they were fired
on by Indians in ambush. Mccoy was shot through
the heart, and received wounds in the mouth and
one wrist besides Adams got of with wound
IN one hand, cut mule loose from his team and
escaped. Just then l.. II. Mays came over the nil
from Reynolds creek, and saw that there were
eleven Indians In the party. He hurried back and
gave the alarm to some teams of DuRell & Moore,
two miles off, bat saw the Indians start towards
the Owyhee river They fred at him Intellectually
several times The alarm given by Sims at the
ferry caused seven or eight men to arm and start
for the scene of attack. Arriving there, they
found McCoy's body stripped Of clothing and his
head mashed. All the mules of the three
wagons had been stolen, and the entire load of
one wagon, of -four and oats, except six sacks,
had been ripped open, and the sacks carried off.
Only the covers of the two other wagons were
stolen. Mccoy belonged in Wala Walla, and
leaves there wife and three children. 1t is said
ne was on his way to receive the pay for his team
III Owyhee, having sold out his business with the
intention OF starting to the States with his family
on his return from this trip on which he met his
death. His body was carried to Fruits ferry
and decently buried Mr.. Adams is a resident of
this city. and well known here Walsh's wound
is dangerous, but his surgeon has hopes of his
recovery. Besides the mules stolen from the
teams, the Indians captured four from Walsh and
Waltse, two from the lower Owyhee ferry, and
two more from the slough two miles this side of
the ferry. As soon as the intelligence was re-
ceiyed at Fort Boise squad of soldiers were i'm
n ediately dispatched in quest of the savages.

SHAMEFUL stANDER.-We still see going the
rounds of the Radical press the falsehood that ex
Senator Green of Missouri is low, debased con-
rmed drunkard, living about the vile liquor dens
of St. Louis. The fact has been authentically
made known that Senator Green is strictly tenn.
perate and is closely occupied in his professional
duties as a lawyer, in his own State yet not a
Radical paper which published the base SANDER
on him, gives room to the truthful vindcati ion of
bis character. In the same spirit, the same pa
pers have much to say of the intemperance Of
Senators Salisbury, McDougall and Richardson,
but never word of the drunkenness of Wade
Nye. Sprague, Chandler Yates, and other promi.
nent Radicals. They strain at gnats, but easily
gulp down camels, these Radical presses.

Nor THE MAN.-We see in some California pa
pers attacks upon Rev. W. F. Boyakin the Baptist
preacher who served as Chaplain in the Federal
army during the war, and in 1864 canvassed Ore
gon for the Republicans. The ground of these
attacks is the charge made against Boyakin in
Oregon last Spring, to the effect that ne had
sednced the daughter Of the Rev. Mr.. Chandler,
a Baptist clergyman in Yamhill county. Boyakin
is not good man, but he is made the scapegoat
of another in the affair referred TO. The individ-
ual who was really guilty of the outrage charged
George L. Woods, present Governor or Oregon.
He escaped publicity at the time, by influences
brought to bear on the father of the girl and as
Boyakin had just left the place, the villainy was
charged upon him. After the last June election
the whole truth became known, by Boyakin re-
turning to expose the authors of the infamous plot
against himself, and his accusers did not dare to
meet him. These are the facts.

GETTING INTEREsTED.-A correspondent of the
Avalanche writing of a late trip from Silver City
to California, via the Humboldt Stage route, says
that while in Nevada, and at places in California,
he found the people very much interested in Idaho.
The heavily laden teams with goods for points in
this Territory, and the immense amount of treas
ure sent from here, which had passed through
those States during the year, has given them a
better idea of the wealth, the growth, and The
great resources of Idaho. We predict that next
Spring there will be more numerous and better
emigration to this Territory than has been in any
former year and they can all find plenty to do at
good pay.

day is devoted chiefly 10 the interest and well
fare of the negro, and next, but unfortunately,
to whatever race or subject is brought in
contact or contrast with the negro. Here is
the latest notion" of the Radical Puritan
leaders, and we particularly call the attention
of Irishmen to it. The authors of it are the
foremost men of Massachusetts. They say:
ssThe amendments to the Constitution must sup
plement the Civil Rights Bill with impartial suf-
frage. This is a first step in the direction of pro-
tecting the negro: allow him to protect himself.
He is citizen. He must become a voter, and, by
act of the General Government, be protected as a
voter If WAR OF RACES SHOULD OCCUR as re-
suit, the Government will be under oath to inter
fere, EVEN TO THE DIFFERENTIATION OF THE RACE
THAT MAKES THE WAR, il the case demands il"
Now. in order to fully arrive at the mean
ing of the above language, especially that in
small capitals, we have only to ascertain
what particular race the Puritans believe to
be most in antagonism with the negro race.
It is the Irish, as we all know. Then they
mean just this: the Irish are to be crushed in
order that the negro may be exalted. How
do Irishmen like the new t'notion," thus pro-
by the Puritan Radicals?

THE APosTATE.-Thos. 'Arcy NJ Gee, the apos-
tate Irishman, exiled by Great Britain in 48, and
now toady to British power in Canada, lately
made speech in Montreal, i'll which he said, if
he had the ear of the Irish people he would ad.
wise them to consider the prosperous condition Of
Scotland; cease to pursue the impossible and
limpracticable, and try to find out something
which contains the element of success. The
miserable wretch, in wishing lrishmen to consider
the prosperous condition" of Scotland, failed
to instance also the very great difference between
the treatment of Scotland and Ireland, of Scotch
men and lrishmen, by the British Government
all in favor of Scotland and Scotchmen. Scotland
has an ample representation in Parliament; Ire.
land a most meagre representation. Scotland in
her local affairs, is governed by Scotchmen; Ire
land, in her local affairs, by Englishmen and
Seotehmen. Dissenting Scotcbmen are not heav.
lily taxed, not taxed at all, to support the s,Es
tablished Church - Catholic Irishmen have to
pay the most oppressive, enormous taxes for the
support of the Established Church in Ireland
Scotland has no English Viceroy to rule her
Ireland is subjected TO the prejudiced authority
of an English Lord Lieutenant. Resident Scotch
landlords own and lease lands in Scotland aD.
sentee English landlords hold the lands of Ire
land and allow their sub lessees and heartless
middle men, to squeeze the last fartEiDg from
the poor, toiling, helpless tenantry. Scotland is
aided and fostered by England Ireland is perse-
cuted and plundered by England. The contempt.
ible apostate, MCGEE, well knows that Scotland
is pampered while Ireland is prescribed by the
British crown but, traitor to his native land
that he is, he endeavors to ignore the fact. His
lying tongue cannot deceive Irishmen again. |
Though his prosperous condition may be the
price which the crown paid for his treachery to |
his eountrymen, honorable Irishmen would rot in
English prisons for their love and devotion to the
old land, sooner than to partake of his prosperity
and bask, like stuffed hound, in tho rays Of |
royalty. Good men and true Irishmen never wish
for the prosperous condition of renegade apos.
tates.
