EpIroR STATESMAN by recent files Of The
Stafesman | notice that the DaIles people are
aoair aeitating the snbject of branch Mint at
that locality. In recent copy of your paper ap-
pears the draft of petition which is being cir
culated for signers. The idea is good one,
but in itself it will be of little benefit. have
some knowledge of how petitions treated
here: You will forward it, the Secretary will
look it over, or perhaps send it to one of the
United States Senators, representing Oregon, for
his opinion as to what action should be taken !;
the worthy gentleman calls upon the Secretary
of Treasury, informs him of what be thinks ought
to be done. The petition finally finds its way
into one of the numerous "pigeon-holes" of the
Treasury there to moulder and accumulate the
dust of ages. have taken great interest in this
matter, a1d want to see the project succeed. 1t
was only last winter that was called hpon to
refute certain statements, made by interested
parties, against the establishment of Mint at
Dalles, or at any place outside of Portland. It
is well known fact, that Senator Williams Is
opposed to the measure, and has exerted all his
influence against the location of Mint at the
Dalles. He is now in Oregon, and it behooTes
the people of the ~DaIles to call him to task for
the manner in which be has acted about this
question of the Mint He is a good aud some
what "smooth talker," and will undoubtedly
try and make out for himself good case, but
that he has always opposed this measure, and
when comparing Portland to the Dalles he has
represented the latter as being only a small, in
significant village on the Columbia, while Port
land, on the other hand, was the seat of all the
commerce Of Oregon. These statements can be
corroborated by prominent persons here. If the
people of the Dalles tcant the Mint, they can have
it. Last winter | received dispatch from an
influential gentleman of the Dalles, asking me
how the matter stood. l Immediately telegraph
ed him the situation, and gave my opinion what
course to pursue. Ifthey had taken immediate
action in the premises as l advised, the Mint
would have been underway to- day An eners
getic man, with the authority of the people to
back him, could arrange the matter in short
time. He must have funds, for, although am
ashamed to say it, nothing can be done here
without money. Have such a man here thus
equipped, and you may take my word for it The
whole Oregon delegation in Congress to the con.
trary, that the Dalles will be the seat OF the
United States Branch Mint for Oregon Send the
memorial, but with it send man of uutfing
energy, one that will not allow himself to be
butfed off at the slightest frown. There is a
! right and wrong way to do everything, aid
| hope my friends will accept the right pay.
Yours, &c, CHARLIE.

FROM FLINT CREEK.-From Mr. Coun-
tryman who has just returned from Flint
Creek, we learn that the st. Louis & Montana
Mining Company's mill is rapidly approach>
ing completion. and will be running in four
weeks. The buildings are stone, the main
building being 4jx79 feet aud the engine
house 24x46 feet. There are fourteen men
employed in developing the Cliff. Comanche
and Hope leads, which are developing beyond
the most sauguine expectations of the Com
pany, and we judge from some of the rock
brought to this city that there are boundIess
stores Of treasure hidden in their rocky
bosoms. There are eighteen men employed
on the mill and other works and matters are
being pushed expeditiously.-Mon Post.

the recent discovery on Meadow Greek.
Quite stampede came in there on Friday
from all directions, and the ground is staked
off on all the gulches in the vicinity. From
II TO 20 cents to the pan has been obtained,
and about fifteen feet to bedrock, Isdell,
who has hydraulic working, has found the

where he is working, with as high as 25
cents to the pan, but will have to start in q
new cut to reach it. The reports are en-,

The LEssoY.-The result of the late election
in California teaches the lesson that if political
parties would succeed they must nominate good
men for Office. The democrats put forth an un-
exceptionable ticket-a ticket made up of men
of fair ability and undoubted integrity - and
with scarce an effort achieved an overwhelming
victory. The republicans, on the other hand,
put forth ticket that was simed all over with
corruption-some of the candidates on which
had actually bought and paid for their nominal
tions-and notwithstanding they had the pres
tige of previous success and the unbounded use
OF money in their favor, they were knocked out
of time on the first round and sustained reverses
from which they can never recover. The result
shows that men of even the strongest party con
victons regard country above party, and that
no amount of drilling or coaIing will induce
them to ratify nominations that were conceived
IN sin and brought forth 10 iniquity. With the
alternative thus presented them, they cast party
ties to the winds and boldly cast their suffrages
in favor of the candidates whose garments were
untainted with corruption. The democracy oi
California in presenting tue names of none but
pure men secured the support of all this class
OF voters and achieved glorious victory. Had
the democrats of Oregon pursued similar
policy year since they would readily have
carried that State but presenting an objection
able ticket, and one that only represented the
extreme wing of the party, they suffered hu
initiating defeat Taking lesson from thei
California brethren, it is to be hoped that will
| another campaign a wiser policy will prevail.

EXPLoRATIoNs.-Parties are now ont surveying
the different passes through the Cascade range,
with view to ascertainirg the most eligible
route for railroad connecting the Columbia
river with Puget Sound. These surveys are
made at the instance of the North Pacific Rail,
road Company, and the results will be submitted
to Congress at the opening of the next session.
The latest survey gives Snoquolomie an elevation
OF three thousand feet, and would seem to indi
cate that as the lowest depression in the range
Of mountains. The reports, however, do moi
confirm Governor Pickerings statement, il
which it was set forth that the Snoquolomie Pas:
was deep depression in the mountains, which
could best be compared to an open valley. Tn,
old Governor, when he visited the Pass, mos
likely, was under the influence of "Hudson Ba,
Brandy" and hence his statements can scarcel,
be regarded as reliable.

FROM LEMHI.-Wo gather the following
items from the Salmon City Neps of Aug.

on Smiths gulch, August 17rh. A large
pack train with goods from Walla Walla,
consigned to Leesburg, had arrived in Salmon
City. Grasshoppers have not done so much
injury as before reported The potato crop

THE MURDER OF MARSHAL KELLER
The N3untaiaeer Of Saturday, gives the
following version Of this sad affair: J." On
Wednesday evening, Marshal Keeler ar
rested soldier for disorderIy conduct and
placed him in Jail. Daring the night party
of eight or ten soldiers came down from
their camp with the intention of getting the
soldier out OF Jail or of having revenge on
the Marshal. They requested the Marshal
several times to let the man out Of Jail, but
he refused to DO so, telling them that he
would have the r2an at the cars in time and
that he would net be left behind. The
movements ofths party appearing somewhat
strange, they being armed with muskets,
the Marshal with Deputy Peter RuHner,
continued to follow them, until at last he
had persuaded them to return to camp,
which they apparently pretended to do.
When they got on the street leading toward
the garrison, somewhere in the rear Colonel
Gates residence, they commenced firing
off their muskets. Marshal Keeler in COM
pauy with his deputy, proceeded towards
the shooting and when in the supposed
neighborbood, he called to them, but received

deputy remaining very short distance in
the real, when suddenly he was hailed, with
"halt, who comes here?" he Immediately
replied, "the Marshal of DalIes City," the
soldier then said, "halt, or I'll shoot" the
Marshal replied, "Oh, no, you won't shoOt,'

wards the garrison, the Deputy firing several
shots at them as they reireated. Mr.. Ruffner
ran to the assistance of the Marshal, whose
last words were "what will my poor wife and
children ?" He was taken to the Umatilla
House, and DR.. Jackson was called, who pro-
nounced the wound mortal, ''the ball entered
the thorax about two inches to the left
of the articulation of the seventh rib with
the sternum, cutting the rib passed directly
inward through the apex of the heart and
emerged on the opposite side of the chest
close to the third dorsal vertebra." He
lived about an hour aud twenty minutes
after receiving the wound. He leaves a
young wife and child to mourn his untimely
death.

New DIsCovERY.-Sunday we were shown
some specimens of quartz which were taken
from discovery made by Messrs. Geo. G.
Cartier, Joe. Lemout, Edward Benjamin, O.
Mayhem AMI Ely Cartier, placer miners, who
were engaged in mining on the "Big Indian
gulch. While cleaning up the bedrock on
their claim in the above named gulch, they
found groupings of lode, aud after sinking
upon it discovered crevice of decomposed
quartz, in which the gold is visible in large
quantities. The crevice is about twelve
feet in width and we are informed by com>
petent judges that the opinion prevails that
this, from present Indications, is far ahead
of any discoveries ever made in this locality.
1t is called the Blue Lode.-Mon.. Gazette.

ENTERPRIsE.-It may seem somewhat
surprising, but yet tits nevertheless the fact,
that the first news we had of the California
election, reached US by way Of Owyhee. The
Avalanche, published on Saturday morning,
September 7th, two days after the election,
had returns sufficient to decide the resul..
This news was telegraphed to Star City, aud
thence brought through to Silver City by
Hill Beacheys stages in 26 hours The re.
turns, as thus published in the Aralancle,
was the first intimation we had Of the result,
and we refer 10 the matter now for the pur'
pose of suggesting to those who are interest
ed in having trade and travel follow the Col>
umbia river route, that they are behind the
times. If the people OF the whole upper
country are to receive their most import
ant news by way of the Humboldt route,
it will not be long before they conclude that
that is the best and most expeditions route
to follow when they have occasion to visit
the metropolis Of the Pacific coast. With a
telegraph to Portland, and daily line OF
steamers on the Columbia river, it would
seem that our news should reach US almost
exclusively by that route, but owing to a
lack of enterprise, the reverse is the case.
1t may seem that matter of this kind is OF
slight importance, out if the reader will re,
feet for a moment, he will see that it is from
just such incidents as this that opinions are
formed as to the merits of tie two rival
routes, and that conclusions thus formed
will in a great degree control the current Ol
travel

APoi,,,cal Revolution.

The returns of the California election indl-
cate remarkable political revolution. Two
wears since the radicals elected their Con-
eressional ticket in that State by an average
majority of seventeen thousand. This year
the democrats succeeded by about eight thou
sand majority. We select the Congressional
ticket for the reason that the republicans of
all shades of opinion were united in the sup
port of the radical candidates for Congress.
The Sacramento Union, whilst it fercey
assailed Gorham and one or two other candi-
dates on the State ticket, labored earnestly
for the election of the radical Congressmen,
and contended that in opposing corruption IN
the party it was really aiding the Congress-
ional ticket. The S. T. Bulletin pursued
similar course, and 10 each and every issue
implored its readers to support the radical
candidates for Congress. Under all these
circumstances, it is fair to infer that the vote
on the election of Congressman indicates the
strength Of parties in California, and it SO.
we have remarkable revolution inspolitics,
and one that indicates that radicalism has
run its course, and that tho country shrinks
back from the enfranchisement of EegrOes,
Cinnamon, and all the inferior races. With
the exception of Connecticut, California is
the first State in which the issue of mongrel
rule was fairly presented to the people. In
Connecticut, the mongrels were routed horse,
foot and dragon, and now, the victory that
a few months since lit up the eastern horizon,
is re echoed back from the extreme west,
and with one loud acclaim, the people declare
that this is a "white mans Government ;"
The verdict is clearly and emphatically
against degrading the right Of suffrage and
elevating four million of semi-savages to a
condition Of equality with the white race
This is the significance of the late election
in California, and as such the Importance of
the verdict there rendered, cannot be overes>
timated. The influence will be felt in all
The elections that are TO follow, and the ef-
feet will be to cause the leaders of mad radi-
calism to pause in their wild career.
