ExcgASGE.-The Genius Of Liberty, an able
democratic paper published in the interior OF
Pennsylvania, has been received at this oihce and
and placed on our exchange list. Also, the
Guardian published at San BernaIdino, South
ern California. is welcomed to our exchange list.

The INSANE AsYLUN.-If a tithe Of what we
hear reported is true, the condition of the Insane
Asylum, under the patronage of the Territory, is
disgrace to our common humanity. The in
mates, as we are informed, receive little or no
medical attention, and the provision made for
their personal comfort aud subsistence, is of the
most indifferent character. We further hear that
females confined in the Asylum have been COM
PEELED to minister to the lust Of their keepers,
and that in one instance unfortunate woman,
bereft of reason, has given birth to a child, the
paternity Of which is directly traced to an official
connected with the institution. We know not
whether these reports be true, and we only advert
to them now for the purpose of awaking atten>
tion and securing investigation that will either
set them at rest or bring about a reform in the
management Of the institution.

HUMBUGs.-The Portland Advocate has sens-
BILE article in relation to humbugs, aud expresses
the opinion that the country is infested with
quacks in theology, law and medicine. We in
cline to the opinion that stringent law ought
to be passed directed against quackery of all
kinds, and more especially against quacks in the
medical profession.

RUMoRED FAILURE.-A rumor was current ear
lv in the week that the First National Bank of
Idaho had failed. The rumor is not confirmed,
and we presume that the report is mistake.
In the absence of positive information as 20 the
condition Of the National Banks, it would bs
well to decline to receive tn eff issues.

TRADE.-Business of all kinds is looking up,
and the complaint of dull times, so common a
few weeks back has ceased. Money is easier and
loans are effected at low rates. All the iudca-
tions are healthy, and ths opinion now obtains
that having touched the bottom, in future We
may calculate upon lively trade and active de.
mand for our surplus products.

The BsARrowS STRAGEDY.-Elsewhere we have
given place to the details Of homicide in which
Jimmy Ryan, former resident of Walla WGlls,
figures as principal. The Helena Gazette, of
October 9th says that the excitement in relation
to the killing of Loyeoy is intense, and that it is
apprebeuded that an effort will be made to lynch
the murderer. Jimmy Ryan is younger brother
of Johnny Ryan, with whose tragic end our read
ers are familiar.

The OCTOBER ELECnoSs.-The result of the
October elections may be thus summed up: The
democrats carry Pennsylvania, electing their
Supreme Court Judge, by from two to three ;hou.
sand majority. This shows an immense gain
over the election of year since when the repub-
lcans carryed the State by an overwhelming
majority. In Ohio, the democrats carry both
branches of the Legislature, thus securing the
election of a conservative Senator, to take the
place of Wade, who, with the exception of Sum-
per, is perhaps the most Objectionable man in
the Senate. To Offset this victory, the republi.
cans elect their Governor by few hundred ma
jority. This lisa surprising change in n State
that has been supposed to be as indssolubly
welded to radical measures as Massach usetts.
10 Indiana and Iowa the democrats make large
gains, thus showing conclusively that the reac-
ton that FIRST made itself felt 10 Connecticut, and
then reyolutionizod California, has extended to
tue whole country, and is destined TO grow and
expand until radicalism has fought its last fight
aud is shoveled away among the debris of things
lost ou earth

THE ANNEXATION MovEMENT.-ln looking over
the proceedings of the meeting held at Lewiston.
for the purpose of furtheriDg the annexation of
Northern Idaho to Washington Territory, We
notice that all the speakers take the ground
that this movement is ohly preliminary to the
division of the Territory by the line of the Cas-
cade mountains, and the erection of a new ter
ritoral organization which will include North
Idaho and all that part of Washington east Of
the Cascades. This, we presume, is the position
of our Lewiston ueighbors, but 10 all frankness
We have to say that the people of this Valley
take very different view. S. far as we have
been able to ascertain the tendency OF public
sentiment in this quarter, it is decidedly favora'
bic to the proposed annexation, but not with the
ulterior view so prominently presented at the
Lewiston meeting, The idea here is 10 exieud
and consolidate the present Territorial organiza-
tiou, and mould the same into State. A Ter'
ritory, organized as suggested at the Lewiston
meeting, would be one horse concern, that
would Iemair 10 the condition Of Territorial
puplage for the neg: half century, aud this is a
complexion of affairs that our people by no
means favor. The developments Of the last few
months renders it quite certain that within
brief period we shall hare railroad communion
ton with Puget Sound, ard when this is brought
about our business connections and interests will
all tend to strengthen our onion wiLa the Sound
country. The North Pacific Railroad an accom-.
plished fact, an important commercial town will
At once grow up at its terminus, from which we
shall draw our supplies of merchandise, and at
the same time find market for our surplus pro-
ducts. Looking to the development Of pros-
porous and influential State 10 the near future,
wise statesmanship precludes The idea of divi-
ding the Territory by the proposed mountain
line, and we have 20 assure our Lewiston friends
if this be their ultimutum, we shall have to part
company. In discussing this question, we have
favored the measure for the reason that it would
strengthen Washington Territory, but if annex
alton means nothing more than an entering
wedge whereby the Territory is again to be di.
vided, we will have none of it. At the meeting
which is called 10 be held az Wala Walla, on
the 3Oih, there win be ample opportunity to dis
.cuss the measure, and We trust that our friends
will come prepared to speak and and act uuder-
standingiy. The annexation of Northern Idaho
we greatly favor but if it is 10 be on condition
that the Territory is subsequently, to be divided,
then We shall have to forego the acquisition.

PoLITIcAL REvoLuTIoSs.-Iu country Ike
our own there must ever bea very large body of
men who are governed by no Fixed political prin-
lciples, and who cast their bullots for one party
or the other just as public or private interests
may dictate. For the past six years the repub,
licans have mainly attracted this class OF voters,
aud hence the almost uniform success of that
party. Lately, however, and dating from The
Connecticut election, the tide has set the other
way, and the democratic ranks have been swol-
len by accessions from class Of men who can
scarcely be said to affiliate with any party. 1t
has been the support of these men that gave the
republican party all its strength, and in their
withdrawal from that party organization, we
have the key to the great political revolution
now going forward.

DISTRICT CoUEr.-Tbe District Court CONS
menced its session on Monday last There is
about l20 cases on the docket, about seventy
Of which have been disposed of up to this date.
The affidvaits fled for change of venue, at the
last term, were granted in all cases, except the
criminal cases. The application made for q
change of venue in the several cases against
Loupe Danenbaum. was overruled. In the
matter of the Territory Vs. Jas. McAuliff, a mo-
ton was made to strike the case from the dock
et on the ground that the complaint was not
verified; the Court gave the counsel tims to
produce authorities. 1t is important to the in-
terests of the county that this case should be
disposed of at the present term. The Grand Ju>
ry have returned about dozen bills, mostly for
minor offences, and that body is still in session.
II is thought the Court will be occupied near the
full term allowed by law. Among the attorneys
in attendance from abroad, we notice the U. s..
Attorney, Hon. L. Holmes, and Mr.. Gehr, from
Umatilla. The U. S. Marshal is not in attend

GAMBLING IN 0REeox.-The Supreme Court of
Oregon, as our readers are already aware, has
rendered decision, which virtually sets aside
the law against gambling in that State. The
Oregon City Enterpriss severely criticiSes this
decision, and closes BY saying:
"There can be no statute enacted against
gambling again until the meeting Of the Legis-
lAture next year. Until that time, gambling in
all its forms is licensed in this State, aud can
be carried on with impunity. And although we
have no sympathy for the adult Of ordinary sense
who will sit down and permit the professional
gambler to take all he has, yet, there is another
consideration TO be taken into account Boys
and young men are inadvertently drawn u places
where there ia gambling, aud as inady ertantly
"taken in." Aud we do feel a sympathy for the
youth Of our country, who, lured By the success
Of the professionals, are drawn into this vortex

SwIsDLxG rHs GovzRSNxSr.-In New YORK


SwIsDLIYG the GovERSNENT.-In New York,
where Swinding has been reduced to a science,

If the Chief Of the Military Department of the

ASTOUNDING DEVELOPMENTS i.

Arrest of Department Messengers---They
are Charged with Stealing Rocks and
PaPers---Three Wagon Loads of the
Property Recovered.
Special Dispatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
HARRISBURG, June 21.-Quite SEN
sation was created here this morning
by the unexpected arrest of number
of messengers and other subordinate
attaches of the various State Depart
ments. 1t seems that for some time
past, several heads of departments, in
Guiding the State Librarian, had missed
number of valuable books, and other
documents belonging to the State
The attention of the Chief Of Police was
called to the matter, and having reason
to suspect man named Aaron Rapp,
doing business on South street, Mr..
Campbell, the Chiefof Police, procured
a search warrant and visited Rapp's
! premises this morning, where he found
a number of the missing articles slowed
away. Rapp became terribly alarmed
and implicated some seven or eight
messengers and other employees at the
Capitol Building, WHO were at once
arrested. The StOrekeeper was held in
one thousand dollars bail, to answer at
court. Two of the messengers were
held in eight hundred dollars bail the
balance will have hearing tomorrow
morning. Three wagon loads Of State
property were brought from Rapp's
store and piled up in the Mayors
office. Among the captured property
are some two hundred copies of the
! acknowledgements recent Report, OF
over twelve hundred pages.
From all these Reports the cloth
| binding had been torn and the books
sold as waste paper. There were also
two hundred copies of the United States
| Statutes at Large, passed at the last
session of Congress, inclOSed in pack
ages, addressed to the Governor. These
were sold for waste paper, unopened.
Large quantities Of recent numbers of
the Legislature Record, together with
the index, were also captured, together
with seven United States mail bags,
belonging to the Post Office, which had
been sent up to the Capitol for docu-
ments and stamped envelopes furnished
the heads of Department. 1t is sup
| posed that this species Of imposition
upon the State has been carried on for
several years, and it has only now been
discovered by reason of the boldneSs OF
the recent operations.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE VS.. THE TARIFF.

The Africans of the South have been
enfranchised by Congress, and thus the
voting population of eleven Southern
States Including TENNESSEE has been
doubled. Heretofore, but three-fifths
ofthe African population ofthose States
were counted in the apportionment of
members of Congress. Hereafter all
of that population will be counted in
making such apportiOnment. An i'm
portant result Of this change, will be q
large increase Of the number Of members
of Congress to be elected 6y those States.
Under the next pportiOnment the
South, owing TO the acknowledgements of
the Africans, will have a much larger
representation in Congress than it had
during the palmiest days fthe institu-
ton of slavery. Now, the Southern
people are, it is well known, unani-
mously opposed to all protective tariffs,
and no matter whether their represen-
tatives in Congress be white, or black,
whether elected by the ballots of the
European, or the African, those repre-
sentatives will always be found arrayed
in opposition to high protective duties.
A great portion of the West, is also
hostile to a tariff on iron and coal,
whilst New England has warm side
for cheap fuel, and in the last Congress
clearly evinced her decided partiality
for Nova Scotia. OF course, the votes
ofthe Southern States, of the West and
of New England, will be combined in
favor of reduction of the duties on
coal and iron, and the increased repre-
sentation of the South will enable such
a combination to WELD a majority of
the votes in Congress. Thus has the
Radical Congress hung milestone a
bout the neck of Pennsylvania. Fare
we'll to that "protection to home indus
try" of which we have heard so much !!
Farewell to the furnaces and rolling
mills of Pennsylvania! Negro Suffrage
in the South will be the end of them,
lust as soon as it can make itself felt
in the halls of Congress. The Radical
party invites the iron and coal men of
Pennsylvania to their own funeral. 1T
asks them to endorse the RecOnstruc-
ton Acts which doom their interests
to destruction. 1t bids them sign their
own death-warrant, by approving a
policy which will give Free Trade an
accession of at least twenty-five rOteS IN
Congress. 1t remains to be seen Wheth-
er party ties are strong enough to make
people commit suicide.
