DISTRICT CoURT.-Court is still in session.
The Grand Jury have returned about twenty
bills, and large number of the criminal cases
have been tried and convictions had on every
case bnt one. Some parties have been Indicted
orthe violation of the license law, who are sel>
ling under licences from the city, but have none
from the county. The question oftheir liabii-
ties has not yet been determined by the Court.
In the case of the Territory Us. Bean, the Grand
Jury returned not a true bill, and the defendeut
and his bill were discharged Two parties were
convicted by the United States for selling liouor
to Indians, and one of the parties sentenced TO
pay line of $50 and costs, and twelve hours
imprisonment, and the other party was sen,
fenced to imprisonment for six months. So il
would be we'll for parties to look out in selling
hquor to Indians. The Grand Jury will probably
close their session on Saturday next. An unu.
suai amount ofbusiuess has been transacted bv
it, though none of the bills found are for tho
higher crimes, The Court will probably remain
In session nearly all of next week. The Petit
Jury will be discharged by Wednesday. With
the criminal cases found, there are about 100
cases on the docket All the civil cases (except
about half a dozen) have been disposed of.
About half dozen criminal cases are vet to be
heard.

DEDIcATIoS.-Tbe new United Brethren church
was dedicated on Sunday last. Bishop Shuck
preached the dedication sermon, and was listen.
ed to by perhaps the largest church gathering
ever assembled in Walla walla county. In the
afternoon, Rev. Mr. Chamberlain, of the Congre.
gational Church, preached to large and atten-
tive congregation. Not the least interesting
feature of the dedicatory ceremonies was the
music by the choir, led by Mrs. J. F. Wood, who
executed her part most admirably. At the close
of the morning service, collection was taken up
toward liquidating the debt on the church which
resulted in the addition of quite liberal sum to
the treasury. The church is now fully organized
and in future services will be held every Sunday,
at the usual hours.

THE GRAIN MARKET. OF late there has
been considerable activity in the grai2 mar
ket, and prices show a decided upward tens
dency. This advance is owing to a demand
for shipment to the Atlantic States and Eu-
rope. In San Francisco, on the 18th, wheat
Yspt UP to g l? per 100 lbs This was the
at the same date, wheat run up to 81 20 %
bushel, and several loads were sold at 81 Is,
although 81 10 is quoted as the current
price. At all the towns on the Willamette
wheat advanced. At Corvallis it is quoted
at so cents. At Salem, mill owners are pays
ing so cents per bushel for a fair article Of
wheat At Albany, wheat is quoted at 70
cents. This advance has necessarily stimu-
lated the Walla Wala market, and under
its influence wheat has advanced from As to
60 cents per bushe, at which figure it is
firm. In the early part of the week we
heard of several large lots changing hands
at so cents, but since then holders have ad-
vanced their preteutions and at this tune we
doubt whether any considerable lot can be
bought for less than GO cents The wheat
raised in this Valley is of very superior
quality, and when properly cleaned will rank
IN the San Francisco market as a prime ar
ticle AT very liberal estimate, it will cost
not to exceed 81 per bushel to sack and ship
wheat from Walla Walla to San Francisco
Add to this 60 cents per bushel-Walla
WalIa cost-aud we have wheat laid down
In San Francisco at 81 60 per bushel. On
this figure the shipper can safely calculate
upon an advance of from Is to 40 cents
ousheI. Rather handsome profit, and well
calculated to invite investment.

The Radicals Alarmed.

The tone OF the radical papers clearly in>
dicate alarm for the future of their party.
The elections in Connecticut, California,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Iowa, all
point to great popular reaction which is
destined to sweep away the last vestiges OF
radicalism and install in place thereof the
party of the constitution, and hence this
wide. sprcad alarm. The hand writing is on
the wall The people desire change, and
as cotemporary well says, they are sick
and tired of radicalism, and have resolved to
Illustrate its wicked desi ms upon the instl~
tutions Of our country. There is in the
hearts of the American people an uudylnS
love and veneration for the old constitution,
md no party legislation outside of that ID
strument can long maintain power in this
country. Radicalism has o'erleaped itself,
and its speedy fall is certain. The leaders
see and feel il and are alarmed at the pros
pect but it is too late to retrace aud mend
the matter. They have ridden rough-shod
over the constitution ruthlessly trampled
under foot the sacred rights of the people /;
squandered the public money. and by reck
less and corrupt legislation piled up colos-
sal debt the burdens Of which are grinding
the people 10 the very earth. And for this
they are now being arraigued before the bar
of public opinion; the verdict is foregone
conclusion; they will be adjudged guilty,
and forever unworthy the trust or confidence
of the people Their alarm is not unfounded.
1t is augmented by the lashing of a guilty
conscience. They have presumed too largely
on their power to deceive and mislead the
people The tide has already set in against
them. and their revolutionary schemes will
fail, and the failure will involve them in
hopeless political ruin and infamy. 1t is not
to be wondered at that the radicals cover
before the storm Of popular condemnation.
They have outraged justice, tramplea upon
laws, Knocked at The Constitution, scohed at
civil liberty, violated their oaths Of Office;
and now their punishment is as certain as
that effect follows cause

From Ko6TESAI.-Mr. Whitman, just down
from kootenai, reports business in that camp as
lively; miners doing well, and prospects gener

mystery, lie states that the missing man left
Kootenai in company with Hefron and Mckay,
and at that time had about 81 900 in money, and
eight or nine horses. Hefron was broke, and
Mckay had not to exceed $3.50. The two China
men who started down with them had returned
to Koo,enai The general impression is that
Humphrey was murdered for his money, and the
fact that Heiron was "Aush," without having
had an opportunity to acquire money honestly.

oil is now at Walla Walla, and reports entire

parties. Time alone can unfold the mystery.

TERRIBLE SHOOTING AfFAIR,-Last eve,
ming, at about quarter to six O'Clock, the
city was thrown into great excitsment on
news spreading around that William Miller
had been killed by Thomas Chapman. We
were soon on the scene Of the murder, and
from parties who were witnesses to the tiers
rble deed, we gather the following particu-
lars: Miller, who is butcher at Butte city,
and other camps in the upper portion of the
country, came down on Tuesday last to see
about opening shop in this place, since
which time he has been on a spree. Chan.
man came from Butte city yesterday morn.
ing, and he, too, was under the influence
of liquor early in the day. In the afternoon
they met at Wilson's saloon, on Main street.
on very friendly terms, Miller, the drunker
of the two. Some time during the day
Miller had tried hard to raise quarrel with
Mr.. }. b. Caven, who had done him an in
jury some time since, and had apologized
for it. Miller persisted in having a fight
but Mr. Caven avoided it aud left the house.
Miller was known as great talker, and had

A AsLarge Vote of the Utmost HIM
- - pOrtance.

Republican journals tell their readers,
and Republican managers have addressed
to the mass of their party, circulars urging
upon them that 'it is of the first Importance
that they should poll the largest possible
vote at the April elections" For this a
reason is assigned by some of the most OUT
spoken. We are not promised reduction
in the matter of taxation if the largest pos
sible'vote shall be polled. We are not
promised revival of business as a reward
forVoting the Republican ticket at the
April elections. We are not promised that
Congress will quit squandering the money,
if fan overwhelming Republican vote shall
be- pol1ed.- Nothing of the sort. We are
not to have any Improvement in business !;
we are not to have reduction of taxes; we
are not to have speedily restored Union !;
but humanity is to be honored by putting
Blacks and Whites on an equality in Ohio
so far as voting is concerned. 1t is for this
purpose that the Republican editors and
politicians are straining every nerve to
secure the polling of a tremendously large
Republican vote at the April elections
Everything must be subordinated to tn
Black man. Until he shall be made voter,
the Republican politicians seem to think
that considerations pertaining to business,
to finance and taxation, and the qualifica-
tions of the candidates for the respective
o1ices to be voted for, must be made stand
aside.
zThe Radicals thus make the issue distinct
and sharp-Shall the Negro vote in Ohio OF
not? We see no other way in which they
are to be met, excepting by all those vot-
ing against every Republican candidate
who does not favor Negro voting in Ohio
The Radicals thrust the issue upon the
people, and the people have no other alter
native left than to accept the issue; for i
they shall not turn 1out and vote agains
and endeavor to defeat the Republican
candidates, the Republican politicians will
assuredly claim that the people are in ia.
vor of Negro Suffrage.
