"ExpIanation ,,

EDITOR STATEsMAS:-As you last week made
the necessary correction relative 10 the charge
of my refusal to verify the information filed
against James McAulif by me, and as you init
mate that the only blame attaching to me is on
account eff my neglect to verify the information
when first lied it, it will only be necessary to
explain my reasons for not doing as my censors
desire should have done. My FIRST reason for
"neglecting" to verify the information then is
that did not at the time and do not yet con.
slider that verlhcatiOn to an information of that
kind is necessary or required ny the laws of this
Territory, and in that belief have been cons
hrmed by the opinion VI Judge Wyche, rendered
in open Conrt on the last Thursday of the term.
II is true that in giving that opinion be stated
that il would be safer to verify such an instru
ment, but the fact cannot be denied that he at
the same time held that it was not necessary
And here permit me to say that Judge Wyche
never at any time required me to verify the in .
formation, but did verify it on his intimatiou
that if chose to verify it as q matter of safetv
might do so. did verify it, but thought then,
as before remarked, and still think, that il was
superfuous to do so. Ny second reason for
"neglectng' to verify the information is that
bad at the time some doubts in my mind as to
an allegation contained 10, and essential to the
information, and while l was willing to insert
it, would not swear thetit was true until had
fully satisfied myself of its truth. | had NOT
then, and could not at that time have acquired
the necessary Information to enable me to verify
It even on belief, as | will not swear that be.
lieve thing while l have doubt in nv mind
as to whether 1t is true or false. II / could
have had very short time to have Investigated
the matter before instituting the suit and had
believed thatit was necessary, I could have pro-
cured the necesiar information in q few DAYS
to have satisfied my mind, and could have then
made the ahidaYit but deeming q verificatiou
unnecessary, j did not attempt an Investigation
OF the matter, as upon the trial the evidence
would have shown whether my doubts were
well or i'll founded. Ny entertaining them could
not influence the result and were subsequently,
dissipated. FRANK P. DueAE.

ANSExArIoS.-The Vancouver Register favors
the annexation of Northern Idaho, always pro.

NATIONAL FINANCES "A few months
since George H. Pendlelon, the distinguished d
Ohio statesman, delivered speech in which
he elaborately reviewed the financial policy
of the country. The principal point in his
speech and for the utterance of which he
was denounced by the radical press in un.
measured terms, was the declaration that
the bondholders should be paid in the cur
rency of the country; that if "greenbacks'
were good enough for the people, they were
good enough for the bondholders. This
speech was denounced by the radical press
as paving the way for reputation, and from
Greeley down to the "weak men who for
some inscrutable purpose are permitted to
edit radical papers" there came up one uni
versal howl. Labored articles were written
the burden of which was "dishonored faith,
"repudiation," etc. Pendleton survived the
attack, and now We have Thad. Stevens, th6
immaculate radical chief, following in tht
same track. We quote from the Oregonidn.
"Thad. Stevens publishes letter on Ma
tional Finances. He don't approve Of th'
Government financial policy during the las
six years. He thinks that billions of money
have been wasted by mismanagement, but
that with country so productive, the Re
public will always be able to pay its just Ii
abilities. He denounces the National Banl
system. Money is what the law makes it
The Government has power to make money
of whatever material it chooses; metal, pa
per, leather, tin, greenbacks; and having
made greenbacks lawful money, they ar
lawful money to all intents and purposes
He maintains that it is just and proper Il
pay the natio.al debt in greenbacks, and de
monstrates that Congress iD contracting th,
loans never intended to commit the Govern
ment to pay the principal in coin, excep
where it expressly so mentioned. This mat
ter was well considered and well understood
at the time. The letter proceeds at grea
length to discuss the policy and right o
paying the debt with greenbacks, and argue
from the different plans suggested, the man
ner in which this could be done. He deem
McCulloch's present policy in contracting
the currency four millions monthly as highly
impolitic."

ELECTION RErURNs.-We take from the
Ore9ontdn the following returns of thaslate
Eastern elections Massachusetts elects the
republican State ticket by 20. 1000 to 10000.
TwOtthirds Of the Legislature favor the liq>
uor license law. The democrats gain 5000
votes in Boston. New York State gives a
democratic majority of $4,000. Both brach-
es Of her Legislature are probably demo-
cratic. The county elections in Illinois
give the republicans an aggregate majority
Of 5000 to 10000. Minnesota is claimed
to have gone republican by small majority,
though negro suffrage is defeated. In Kan.
sas, female suffrage aud negro suffrage were
defeated; woman suffrage leading the ne,
gro's. The democrats make clean sweep
in Maryland. electing all democrats to the
official positions.

TELEeRAPuIc.--The Portland Herald says that
Arrangements have been made for the construc>
tiop of a line OF telegraph connecting Portland
with the Dallcs; and think it more than likely
that the line will be continued on up the Column
bia River, in which event we of Walla Walla
may calculate upon being placed in telegraphlc
communication with the balance of the world
The telegraph will be completed to the DalIes
early the coming spring, and when it reaches
that point we doubt not arrangements VIII be
made for its continuance onup the River. Boise
Basin and Walla Walla Walla Valley are the
only settlements on the continent of any parties
ular importance that are without the telegraph,
and with another season it is quite certain that
the lightning will strike in these remote locali'
ties.

MANHOOD SUFFRAGE.-Senator Sumner is the
leading champion of manhood suffrage, and was
among the very first to force this issue into the
politics of the country. 1t now turns out that,
if the statements of the Senator's wife are to be
believed, a strict application of the manhood pro-
vision would disfranchse the radical chief.

FREIGHrs.-It may not be generally known
how much freighting is now being done on the
"Walla Walla and Walula Wagon Road" No
fewer than 80 heavily ladeued teams, unloaded
-four and grain at Wallula, on the 9th inst. Nor
was this an extra day for teams. Itis common
and continual occurrence. Does not this prove
conclusively that we should have good and
substantlal road leading from this city TO the
Columbia river 1t is the main artery leading
to and from this valley.

GLUT OF FREIGHT.-Our Wallula correspondent
refers to the immense amount ofSlour and grain
From another source we learn that fe;gh,s have
been allowed to accumulate at Walula until now
it is doubtful whether the Company will be able
to clear the landing before the close of the sea-
son. This uncertainty has caused a lull in the
demand for breadstufs, inasm6ch as spectators
are unwilling to operate with the prospect Of
having to hold their, stocks until the opening OF
navigation in the spring. In spirit of accom-
mediation, we think that the o. s. n. Company
should put on additional boats, and thus show a
disposition to meet the requirements of trade.
The freight offering will employ daily
line of boats until the close OF navigation, and
having any number of idle boats the Company
should at once place them on the line. The down
freight, at Sc per ton, may not pay any thing
very big, but those who control the River should
bear in mind that the more freight they take
down, the heavier will be the return frisghts
The capacity of our people to buy and pay for
merchandise must always be iu proportion to
the facilities they have for disposng of their sur
plus products. Had there been an active demand
for grain year since, il is reasonable to say that
the consumption Of imported merchandise in
this Valley would have been one-third greater.
This demand failed, and with the failure our
producing classes were obliged to practice econ>
omy. Now the people of the Atlantic States, Of
Europe, and of California, need our breadstufrs,
and tits with the o. S. n. Company to say wheth-
he nod tn oil IL,
to buy The Company has every facility for
transacting the business, and failure to meet
the demand will argue lamentable want of en-.
terprise.

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIoYs.-The ground>swell
that iirst made itself felt in Connecticut, and
next in California, seems to have II ade the ci.-
cult of the Union. The November elections like
those of October are all one way, and now we
have New York and New Jersey to add to the
galaxy of States that have repudiated Congress
sioual radicalism. In Illinois Minnesota and
Wisconsin, the democrats make large gains, and
although failing to elect their tickets have
greatly reduced the radical mnjorities. In Mas
sachusetts, a radical majority of sixty>fve
thousand year since is cut down to less than
thirty thousand. At this rate of progress, even
Massachusetts, by the time of the Presidential
election may be expected to 60 democratic.
The history of the country scarcely furnishes a
parallel for this remarkable change in public
seatiment, and in the light of these victories the
democracy will go into the Presidential cam
paign of 1868 with a zeal and earneslness thai
will place success beyond peradventure.
