A RADICAL vlEw.-The oregonian says:

A RADICAL VEW.-The Oreg0nidn says:
In view of the disgraceful scene at Boise
City last winter, Congress would be justified
in depriving Idaho Of a Legislature for ten
years to come.
Agreeably to this, the OregOnian must think
that Congress would be justified in depriving
the State of Nevada of Legislature for forty
years to come and there ought to be some
power to prevent Congress from setting again
for a century Whatever else may be said OF
the Democratic Legislature of Idaho, no man
is base or malignant enough to charge bribery,
corruption and fraud against it. Even the
Radical organs of Nevada admit the justice of
these charges against the Radical Legislature
of that State, and no one with any regard for
the truth will deny that the most barefaced
bribery shameless corruption and gigantic
frauds are chief features of the Radical Con-
gress during the last six or seven years. The
most disorderly scene which occurred in the
last Legislature of Idaho is highly respectable
when contrasted with the disgusting exchange
of blackguardism which took place in the last
Congress between old Thad. Stevens and
Spalding of Ohio, and also between Beast But
Ter and Bingham But the OregOnian can see
no wrong IN anything bad or yillainous on the
Radical side 80 r# f...eI.

: DULL TIMES IN PoRTLAND.-We clip the
following from the Oregonian Of April 24th:

: DULL TIMES IN PORTLAND.-We clip the
following from the Oregonian of April 24th:
The following extract is from the Market
Reuieac, issued by McCracken, Merrill & Co.,
on Saturday, the Goth inst 1t is in consonance
with the views held by most business men in
Portland. The picture is somewhat gloomy,
but is one upon which our merchants must look,
nevertheless:
Our orders from the mining and interior
sections come in but slowly, and our jubbing
trade has not assumed that activity that it has
in past seasons. This may be attributed partly
to the fact that during the prevalence of low
freights between this port and San Francisco,
many of the interior merchants made large
purchases of goods, which are still on hand, and
our city jobbers must wait until these stocks
are disposed of before many purchases will be
made here. Orders for produce are still light,
owing to the high rate of freight to the mining
sections, and from what information we can
gather there will be but little done in that d.
rectiOn before july"
We think the indications of dull season,
throughout, are palpable. There is nothing in
the business horizon, which leads to reasOna-
bic hope that the coming season will be any
where near so lively in any respect as its pre-
decessors The mining markets are no longer
OURS W COubIO41 dHu IL WCAOs OhOy fWOu1u
not be much more than halfas good as former
ly, because there are scarcely more than half
so many men in them as in former seasons
Thus far, this spring, the numbers coming here
from California and passing on to the mining
regions, are less than half those of last year or
the year before. California itself is passing
through as dull a season, comparatively, as is
Oregon. Our neighbors of British Columbia
are worse off than we are. There is nothing
in the condition of the Eastern States that
can affect this coast in the way Of bettering its
business prospects. Our people may make up
their minds at once that two, three or four
years must elapse before business viii again
be as lively as heretofore. In Portland there
are too many in mercantile business and the
stocks are too large for the present circuln-
scribed markets. Portland is too large and too
fast for the willamette valley, which must
hereafter be its chief dependence. and not un-
til the valley shall fill up and overtake the city
in growth, will the latter enjoy anything like
its former prosperity. The city is not dead,
or played out" bur it must . wait for the

How it happens that Speaker COlfax appears

in consequence of his growing unPopularlty,

To Hettie
On Her Bridal Morning.

+. 5r On Her Bridal M orning.
You've discarded the toy-books Of childhood,
And opened the volume Of life,
You have DOTTED the fair garland of grlhood,
To wear the proud crowl of wife.
May it press your young forehead but lightly,
Its radiance shine over your face,
And add to the charm of the maiden
The glory of womanly grace.
You have laid your white hand in another's
And trembingly spoken the word,
That plighted your heart; though itsfuttered,
And beat its scared wings like bird.
May that hand never miss tie devotion
That fondly encircles it now,
May the lips never tremble with anguish
Nor heart-ache bring gloom to your brow
The great pearls on your eye-lashes, Hestie,
Weigh the lids down closely to-day,
And you look through halo of r-drops,
On the home you are leaving for aye.
But bright CLEANS of the love-tinted future,
Beneath those wet lashes toiH creep,
And you smile back the glance Of your lover,
Then turn to your mother and weep.
Nav God bless you in this new relatio n,
This dawning Of young womanhood;
Crown the future with radiant blessing,
And make you as happy as good.
