A case of negro artistocrucy came off
in the town of Staunton, Va, recently.
One of the Northern ''school marms," 7"
who is there employed in teaching the

that she "inust not call the woman with
whom she lived, mistress-that she was
as good as anybody"
Pretty soon the girl asked her teacher
what business she followed before coming
South to teach.

THE AULLAS RoUrH. - At meeting of the
merchants Of San Francisco, held for the pur-
pose Of devising measures to secure the trade Of
hontana-rsference to which is made elsewher
one Of the speakers thus endorsed the Mullan
route
Mr.. McManus said he had been a packer for
seven years in Boise, and other Northern mines
and he had seen something of the routes in ques-
ton. Seventy pack trains, numbering from if
teen to ninety animals each, left Walla Walla
last fall for Montana, and some of them got
through in twenty-nins days The regular time
from San Francisco to Helena, in the summer
for freight, will not exceed thirty-three DAYS.
The Mullan road could be put in a good condi-
tion at an expense of $40, 900, and then the
feighters will keep it up. If the road is given
away in franchises to small companies, the tolls
will be so outrageous that nobody can freight
goods with profit over it. If the Mullan road Is
once opened, no other route can compete with
1t for the Montana trade.
This is the testimony of practical man who
knows whereof be speaks. The people of Port
laud are raising money to open an Out-of.tbe-
way route. Oannotw Of Walla Walla eoptribute
something toward opening the direct route, and
one that promises TO bring to our doors the rich
trade Of Moltana2

BACKING DowN.-Late dispatches from
Washington show that the radicals in Cons
gress are weakening. This could scarcely
be otherwise in the face of the determined
patriotism of the President. The loyal men,
bers of Congress from Tennessee are to be
admitted to their seats. Representatives
from the other States late in rebellion, who
can show fair record, are likewise to be
admitted, Stevens plan of reducing the
Ck~LA-- - Az --~-I:4:~-- n--.L--i-- =
secuted, and the dwelling old destructive
finds himself deserted in the household of
his friends. Public opinion has already
made itself felt even in the counsels of the
radicals, and the result is a square back down
from their high pretensions. The work of
tinkering with the Constitution is be aban
doned, and from the mouths of the radicals
themselves comes the admission that "amend
ments may be overdone" All honor toFAnS
drew johnson. By his frmness and patriot
ism he has arrested the destructives in their
mad career. Thanks to the wisdom of the
President, the work of reconstruction again
goes forward, and the people are gladdened
with the hope of an early restoration of the
Union. The Summers and Stevenses, who
aimed to play the role of a Marat, or Robes
pierre, have been checked in their mad ca
Teer, and their influence for evil will no Ions
ger be felt in the councils of the nation.
No wonder that public securities look up,
and confidence in the Government is re-
stored. A man of jackson frmness at the
helm, the country feels that all will yet be
well.

HEAvT OK TIE JoHSs.-Our Legislstiv. solops
appear to have been particularly down on the
ShinAnen. At least it would seem so from the
net that they passed a law imposing an annual
eaPitation tax Of SIC, to be levied on each per-
son, male and female, Of the Mongolian race
The revenue derived from this source is to be
paid into the school fund of the county in which
collected. "John " is evidently in bad odor
with the politicians. In this respect he is lesS
fortunate than his eolored brother, who appears
TO be the stockin-trAde Of men Of the Sumner
stamp. When the Massachusetts, Senator gets
through with righting the wrongs Of the eolored
race, Il would be well for him to inquire into
the condition OF the "Cslestials." Meantime
the law in question will afford quite handsome
revenue for our public schools.

CATCHING AT STRAWs.-We notice that
certain radical papers affect to believe that
there yet remains a chance for compromise
between the President and the destructives
who 50 bitterly assail him in both Houses
of Congress. As an evidence that the way
is yet open for reconciliation, they point to
the recent interview between the President
and Governor Cox, of Ohio. They forget
that the Governor himself is committed
against negro sufragej but even if this were
otherwise, there is nothing in the interview
between him and the President that goes to
show that the latter is disposed to. yield in
the slightest degree to the "radical" pres>
sure. In all his declarations, the President
has uniformly declared that he is governed
BY Constitutional convictions from which he
cannot depart. The right to regulate the
question Of suffrage, under the Constitution,
is confined to the States, and the President
.i1-:sl.t~ L.---Li-- e : q. -
unite with the radicals in extending suffrage
to the negIoes. In this regard President
johnson occupies a very different position
from that assumed by the late President Lin
coin. The latter, in all his declarations was
governed by considerations of policy. When
President Lincoln, in his letter to Greeley,
refused to emancipate the negroes, he placed
his refusal entirely on the grounds of "pOl-
10y" So, too, when the emancipation proc
lamation was issued, it was justified as a
measure dictated by "policy." Had Presi-
dent johnson based his opposition to the
radicals on the score of policy, there would
have been a door left open for compromise,
but when be based his dissent on Constitu>
tional principles, he assumed position from
which he cannot depart Mere questions
of policy may be compromised-principles
never. This is the position occupied by the
President, and it is one from which he can
not recede. The only compromise possible
is for the radicals to abandon their untena>
BILE position and unite with the President in
the glorious work Of restoring the Union.

ION Friday night, February 23d, VIM. Slough
ton a highly respectable citizen, residing on
lover umatilla. was taken from his house and
hung upon a tripod formed of three rails taken
from a fence in the vicinity. The PARTICULARS as
We CLEAN them from gentleman who was present
at the examination of the parties accused otpar-
t;cipation in the hanging, are as follows; Some
two or three weeks since, Doctor Aarquam, an
itiuerant eye-doctor, was called to see orotner'
ip-law of Mr.. Stoughton, named George Fry, VINO
has been laboring under periodical hts ot lnsan-
ity for four or Eve months. On examination
the doctor pronounced Fry poisoned Fry e1-
claimed uH am poisoned, Stoughton has
done It, for he is the only person who has given
me madeleine % Under the hallucination that he
was poisoned, Fry insisted upon removal from
the house of StoughtOni and was taken to the
bouse of Marquam. In the meantime through
iustrumeutality of Marquam, the report Of the
poisoning of Fry was circulated throughout the
peiUhborhood, and "a mob, supposed to number
fifteen or twenty persons, went to Mr.. Slough
ton s house, and one Of them representing him
self as the Sheriff of the county, induced him
to accompany thep, under the impression that
he was to be taken before the nearest justice for
| examination. On the next day about o'clock,
a party that had organized for the Pnrpnsh of
searching for the missing man, found his body
| In CANYON, about half mile from the house.
From the tracks in the vicinity, and other cir
cumstances, suspicion was fixed upon num-
Der of persons, who were Immediately taken
into custody, and the preliminary ezamina'
tion commenced on Tuesday and continued un-
til Monday evening last resulting in the COM
initial of one Eli Alderman, who was positively
identified by Mrs. Stoughton as the person who
personated the Sheriff. Suspicion still rest;
pretty strongly on a number of persons, but nc
facts were elected that would warrant the JUS
tice in committing them to answer, and they
were recognized in sums varying from FIVE hnn'
dred to FIVE thousand dollars, to appear as wit
nesses before the grand jury in May next. Franz
P. Dugan, Esq, of this city, and H. Il. Gehr, o
Umatilla, prosecuted the parties accused, anC
L'Evarts appeared for the defendant. Whom OuI
informant left, the Jail at Unatlla was crowded
with persons implicated in the affair, and tht
greatest excitement prevailed. On the exami
ton number of respectable physicians testi
fed that.Fry was laboring under severe attacl
of. typhoid pneumonia, and had no symptom
whatever of poison and all conceded that Mr.
Stoughton's character was in every respect un
exceptionabe

FIGHT WITH THE INDIANs.-A slip from the
Boise Statesman, gives the particulars of fight
with the Indians in which "Poor Lo" was eff
fectually cleaned out. The gist of the news is
contained in the following letter:
RUBY CITY, February 26th, 1866.
HILL BEAcHY-Dear Sir :-Chids, the Govern
ment express messenger, arrived this evening,
and reports that a messenger arrived at Camp
Lyon this morning with the news that on last
Thursday Captain Walker came across camp
of Indians about twenty miles from the Owyhee
Ferry, at the mouth of Jordan creek, and charp.
ing it left twenty-si1 dead Indians on the field.
1t is supposed that one made his escape Twen
ty of the Indians were bucks, who fought des
perately, killing one of Captain Walkers party,
Corporal Burke, and slightly wounding a drum
mer boy, name not remembered. In charging
the camp six women and children were acciden-
tally killed, but this could not be helped, ow
ing to the desperate defense made BY the In
dians. Captain Walker sent to Camp LYON for
horses, having used up and killed nine of his
own on the march, and will be with his entire
command at Camp Lyon this evening or to-mor-
row morning. 1t is reported that be took eigh-
teen head of stock. The Owyhee Volunteers,
not being able to get horses, have gone on to
Halls ranch afoot, and are determined to get af-
ter Mr. Indian. Yours, BROWNE.
