SENATOR SHERMANs BILL IN MoNTANA.-The
Montana PEOPLE are exercised over Senator
Sberman's proposition to sell the mineral
lands. The Virginia City Post denounces it
as an an attempt to rob miners, and says:
We hope that the news will not be too late
to be of service to us. Flom Arizona to the
British possessions there dwells neither man,
woman or child whose entire fortune will not
be more or less affected or jeopardized by
this seemingly just yet most unrighteous
measure. We are no grumblers at taxation.
We believe in rendering "unto Caesar the
things which are Cesar's," but we deny, in
toto, tha, there is policy or common honesty
in robbipg Peter to pay Paul. The Senators,
Representatives and Delegates Of the West

vent the utter ruin of their constituency pros

Too SMALL TO BE NorIcED.-Heretofore
certain predatory members of the Bloody
Fourteenth have confined them, elves to petty
tbefts, TOO small to entitle them to more
than three months in the county Jail. The
other day, however, 'one of them ventured
over the mark, and stole an eight-day clock,
valued at $40. He is now in confinement at
Fort Dalles, and will shortly be turned over
to the civil authorities for trial. He ought
to be sent down for year, and each day
ought to be as longt as an eight-day clock can
measure it Time, in such matters, is a val
liable consideration.

THE CASE OF HENRY TRIcKLE.-Efforts are
being made to procure the pardon or partial
reprieve of Henry Tickle, la,ely convicted
IN this county of the robbery of a Mr.. Abby,
on the road from Granite Creek to Umatilla
His confession of the crime and his deep
coutrition entitled him to the merciful con-
sideration of the court, and he was sentenced
to confinement for the shortest term allowed
by law. He was then detained in jail here
for something over month, by the river
being frozen up so that he could not be taken
to the Penitentiary. AS his punishment
dates from the day he was delivered to the
officers of the State, he loses all the time in
which he was confined in Wasco county jail
Upon this point, If his conduct in prison IL
exemplary, we respectfully submit that h,
has an equitable claim on the clemency O
the Governor but as TO pardoning him, o.
- otherwise shortening his term of imprison
nsnt, we earnestly protest against it,
Trickle has received all the kindness an,
consideration which his penitence entitle
him to, and from this time he should b
made to earn whatever Of confidence Is rs
Y posed in him. e0"a N0HoAAW

Sunday, the llh inst, from Walla Walla,
having in charge Michael H. Lewis, who is
charged with the murder of David Peevie at
Olive C'eek, North John Day mines on the
23d of October, 1866 The pursuit and ar
rest of this man reflects great credit on Maj
Berry, and goes to show that when we have
good officers the law is all sufficient for the
apprehension and punishment of law-break-
ers. With such men in Office there is no
need, and there need be no fear, of vigilance
committees. The arrest of this man is an
other warning to evil-ioers, and another
evidence that the times are past in which
mems lives can be taken with impunity in
this country.

Ex-Gov Curry IN Decentralization Curry
of this State, delivered q short, but very
compact, suggestive and lucid address at the
Merchants Exchange, in Boston, on the l4th
of November last, on the subjec; of the North
ern Pacific Railroad. Several of the prnc-
dal movers of this grard enterprise were pre-
sent, and hisremarks elected great express
sion of interest on the subject. Mr.. Curry
set forth the facts in relation TO the resources
of this country, and the practicability of al
tracing the trade of India and China by the
northern route. He estimated the annual
yield OF treasure of the Columbia Basin at
SIG ,OOO, 900, which must be allowed to be
very moderate, and enlarged upon the rapid
advance which we have made in material pros
perity in the last FIVE years. In the evening
of the day upon which the address was deliv-
cred, Mr.. Curry was entertained by the civic
authorities at a banquet given at the Parker
House, and among the invited guests were
Gen. Banks, Judge Dow, Of Kansas, Mayor
Lincoln, Ex-Congressmeu Couch and Good
rich and many other eminent persons in pub
lie and private life. The whole affair shows
the interest felt at the east in the construction
of the Northern Pacific Railroad, and is very
encouraging to those who feel an interest in
the undertaking.

MERELY SPECTAToR.-J. Stewart Lewis
at one time, not long since, lived about the
Dalles. He was charged will being in the
horse-stealing business and notwith standing
nm urgent request for him to remain here,
his feelings were so deeply wounded by this
stain upon his reputation that he left this
sde of the Cascades Range and took up his
residence in the Willamette Valley. In that
country he maintained the strictest secluson,
avoiding the public gaze, and particularly
declining to put himself in the way of re-
newing The acquaintance of Charles White,
Esq, the sheriff of Wasco county, who had
document inviting Mr.. Lewis to re visit
the Dalles. ,Presumlng, doubtless, that time
had mellowed the prejudices against him
in this community, Lewis returned to town
the other day and took lodgings at hotel,
registering himself by the royal name Of
Stewart. Upon the arrival of the murderer
Lewis, his namesake, actuated by curiosity
he went up to see him, merely as spectator.
He was recognized by deputy-sheriff Gran
DALI and invited TO change his lodgings
from the hotel to the county Jail; where he
is now confined. He will probably return to
the Willamette country to take up his resi-
dence for term of years after the next term
of court.

OF the witness, it was urged that other parties

livered, the fraudulent printing plates engraved,
and large issue of counterfeit Treasury notes

shows not only criminal negligence on the part of
the persons having in charge the plate printing
bureau, but also presents the case in an aspect
seriously affecting the moral character OF certain

A report from Hilton Head, South Carolina,

be settled between overseers and laborers, sent
ignorant, overbearing men, with uninteliigiole le

The foreman, Hodge, Southern white, was un
able to work the plantation hands to his salts
faction, and as whipping was not allowed by

ing medistors, assumed the characters of task
masters, and for the non-performance Of allotted
was constant daily practice. The only inter,
ference of the proprietor or his agent in a sup
press;cn of these outrages was in the case Of Tim
Thompson, whom the hands rallied to relieve
hanging lifeless. Fearing riot, Hodge went to
the spot and cut the rope, laying the negro out
Wilcox, Of the soldiers, came up to assist, but
seeing the approaching gang of hands, discharg-

quiet the disturbance, but they refused to return
to the field until the next day, when they finished
the task assigned the day before and left the place.
Capt. SwartZ refused to amend matters and Mr.
Kirk, who, being away at the time of the trou-
BILE, returned soon AFTER made application for re-
lief from the contracts to Major Delaney, COM

he loses all his crop, upon which he spent $4,000,
and adds he never would have undertaken to work
crop with his hands in such demoraized con-
dition had he not thought the Government would
insist upon a performance of contracts. Major
Delaney in reply to this letter, writes that Captain
Swartz assumed control of your plantation in
error. The Bureau is part of the War Department
military men administer its affairs but an en-
tire assumption Of its functions by officers out of
the Bureau was never conte mplated. If General
Scott authorized Captain Swsrtz 10 assume the

might be considered legitimate, and until he
shows proper orders he must be held personally
responsible for the wrong on your place.

Horrible and Brutal Murder.

tFrom the Savannah Republican of 2sthl
We have been furnished with some additional
particulars in relation to the murder of Colonel
Ripley, in Emanuel county, in this state, short
notice of which we published a few days since.
We have not words to characterize the fiend-like
atrocity Of this bloody deed which has deprived a
worthy citizen OF life, and a wife and children of an
affectionate husband and father.
The murdered man Colonel Ripley, former
ly Of the 14th New Hampshire regiment, who has,
since the war, been engaged in the lumber busi-
ness in Emanuel county, on the Ogeechee River.
On Monday night last, about 10 o'clock, after
Col. Ripley and his family had retired to bed a
party of men came to the house, and knocking at
the gate, asked to see Col. Ripley on business.
The Colonel sent his servant to the gate to in
quire their business, who WAS told they had Il
note for Col Ripley and desired to see him per
sonally. The Colonel put on his clothes and came
out to the porch, hailing those at the gate, who
requested him to step to the gate, as they wished
to see him ON important business He immedi-
ately proceeded to the gate, when of the party
spoke, saying, "Col. Ripley, you my prisoner
The Colonel drew his revolver and fired at the in
truder, who made off, the others Immediately fired,
and the Colenel struck in four places, NOR

The party, after committing this atrocious deed,
remained about the house, fed their horses, and
repeatedly fired into the house during the night,
refusing to allow Mrs. Ripley the privilege OF
giving water to her dying husband.

The President Opposed to the Test Oath.

The President Opposed to the Test Oath.
In speech made some months since the Presi-
dent remarked emphatically that the oath to sup
port the Constitution of the United States implied
all that any officer ought to be required to swear
to- Consistently with this remark, and in antici-
patton of the action of the Philadelphia Conven-
tion, his organ (the National Republican, contain
ed, on Wednesday morning, leading editorial
arguing against the necessity and propriety of
test oaths. Coming from such a source, and IN
der existing circumstances, We regard the article
as both significant and important and accordingly
reproduce portion Of its reasoning. The Repu6-
lioan says:
Among the inventions which resulted from the
supposed or real necessities of our recent war was
iShat is commonly called the test oath, by which,
In addition to the usual obligation TO support the
Constitution and perform otflcia! duties public
offcers were required 70 swear that they had nei-
ther directly or indirectly participated in, or in
any manner aided the rebellion. This, for aught
we have to say to the contrary, was judicious
provision at the time it enacted, and subse-
quently to the end OF the war.
But we have doubts of its propriety now that
the necessity which called for it is passed. And
our doubts are greatly strengthened by evidences
that it is being used in some instances to the pre-
judice of the public service. Second, third, and
even fourth.rat men in the Southern States are
frequently entrusted with important public duties

ties, although now equally loyal to the Govern

tionists roll it a sweet morsel of vengeance un-
der their tongues upon the late insurrecIiOnists,
merely, as one of their number recently said in a
public speech, to let them know that ''there is q
punishment after DEATH" II suits precisely that
class of bgots whom find in most Of our
churches nova days, who as busily employed in
expeing members from the church as the clergy
man is in getting them in-Christians OF the Dea-
con Sniffivs speeches. who devoutly prayed for the
salvation of 'me and my wife, my son John and
his wife-we four and no more" Bot it smaoks
too much Of hide-bound prescription Of our fel-
low-men merely because they have, at u former
period, been guilty Of wrong doing, to suit the
spirit OF the age in time OF peace.
Badly any OF our Southern brethren have
acted, they are, nevertheless members OF our
great political family, and must sooner or later be
awarded their seats at the family table. What
public good can be attained by excluding them
from it any longer?

THE NEoRo.-Dr. Mott of Mobile, Gays: ~ am
aware that iattering accounts are coming in from
working we'll, and that large crop Of cotton in
1866 will be the result. At forty or fifty Gents
pound for cotton, it is possible the negro may,
for time. be stimulated to some degree Of in
little reputation 1 may have upon the assertion,
that the negro must fail an agriculturist, that
the race will be gradually exterminated in this
country, that they will deteriorate morally and in
tellectually, and that we must look to other
sources of labor to produce the great staples of
the Gulf Staios"
He asserts that that the negro is by instinct op-
posed to agricultural labor, and will not till the
soil for wages. He has as much faith IN instinct
as Falstaff had, and very nearly little in any
thing else. The negroes have had possession Of q
vast continent for thousands of years, and have
made no Improvement. China and India tell o
different tale, because their inhabitants agri-
cultural, which the negro is not. For the same
reason Liberia is failure. The West Indies add
their testimony and the South will not reverse it.
