REPUDIATIoS.-The New York Herald, an out
and-out radical Sheet speaks freely of the ulti
mate reputation of the national debt. 1t rea-
sons that when financial aud commercial ruin is
on the country, it will not be difficult to organs
ize controlling party upon the principle Of re-
pudiationA> The poor and oppressed classes of
tb. North will readily favor reputation as the
hest ann Only means Of escape from intolerable
burdens. Nc.here have thoughts which it will
be we'll for the hO!ders of uGtaxed bonds to
ponder. Any system tat exempts the rich from
taxation and leaves the bu-den Of government
to fall upon the poor and oppressed, is radically
wrong and cannot be maintained for any con-
siderable length of time. The untaxed bend
holders are the privileged aristocracy of the
United States. In France, an untaxed aristocra-
cy paved the way for bloody revolution. In
our own country the masses will never consent
to become the "hewers of wood and drawers of
water" for a moneyed aristocracy.

THE CoLvLLE MAIL.-Postmaster Johnson has
received instructions from the Department to
have the Colyiile mail discontinued, unless he
can contrect to have it carried at cost not to
exceed $500 per annum. The proposition is
simply absurd, and only shows the profound ig-
uorapce of the Washington authorities in all
that relates to this country. Two years since
the contract was awarded to a. J. Ripson at
$4,000, but at that figure it was de>d loss and
the contract was thrown up. Subsequently 1t
was carried under a temporary arrangement, but
with the receipt of this order from the Depart
ment the service ceases entirely. There is
military post in Colville Valley with which the
Government must communicate, and to do this
by means Of special express will involve an
outlay of double or treble the sum offered for
carrying the mail This is literally an illustra-
tion of "penny wise and pound foolish policy"
Early in the week Postal Agent Brooks was at
Walla Walla, and on being apprised of the
blunder of the Department, promised to write
to Washington and have the error corrected.
Meantime our Colville friends viii. be denied
every thing in the shape of postal eonveniences.
Truly, our Post Office affairs are sadly mixed.

BusNEss.--We are constantly hearing COM
plants of "dull times" and yet not day passes
that does not witness the departure of trains of
pack animals and loaded teams, all bound for
the mines, and carrying away with them the
products of our Valley, and in return for which
n constant stream Of treasure sets this way.
Other communities that complain less may be
equally prosperous, but we doubt il.

THE Issue OF THE HoUR.@The issue
presented to the American people is that of
universal suffrage--Ehisa means that Chi
namen, Africens, MQagOlians, and all the
other degraded races of the earth, have a
right 70 vote, and participate in the choice
of our rulers. Against this proposition,
looking to mongrel government, the con>'
servative men of the nation are arrayed in
solid phalanx. As to the working of such
government, says an exchange, we have
only to turn to Mexico, where the miscegen-
alton of all people on the face of the earth,
with the exception of the MOngoliaus, has
produced a race of men the most degraded
to be found on the face of the earth. The
experience afforded by Mexico is one of
potent import, and. teaches us that such a
policy in the United States will be attended
by the most unhappy and injurious results.
1t is we'll for those who for the first time
are witnessing negro equality at the polls, to
reflect on this, and contemplate what this in.
novatiOn on our form of government will
result ina sickly, hybrid, mongrel, WORTH
less race, probably the lowest in the scale of
man. This is certainly beautiful picture
for Americans to contemplate. Every man
who has the soul of freeman, and pride in
American nationality, will repu-
date this vilainous, insidious innovation on
The rights of the nation.

WALLA WALLA Flour. We have frequently
expressed the opinion that the Aour mauufAc>
tured in this Valley would favorably compare
with the best California or Oregon brands. As
evidence that we were not mistaken in this re-
gard, we take the following extract from a letter
written by San Francisco firm, and addressed
TO c. Jacobs 4 Co, Walla Walla
" Your flour, phoenix Mills, has been in
specied in this market and pronounced Extra
Superfne. r. it had arrived a month earlier it
would have sold readilyat Sc z bbl."
Messrs. Jacobs 4 Co. shipped about 1000 bbls.
of Flour to San Francisco, the receipt of which
is thus handsomely acknowledged.

IMPROVEMENTS. - Notwithstanding the CONS
plant of "dull times" we notice new and sub
stantial improvements going up in all quarters
of the town. In this connection, the owners of
the saw and planning mills inform US that in no
former season have they been kept so constantly
employed. Oue mill owner informs US that at
this season in former years he found it difficult
to keep himself employed Now he is overrun
with orders, and with his mill full Of hands is
unable to keep pace with the demand. All this
is gratifying, and particularly so in view of the
fact that reighboring towns are stagnant. This
prosperit, is mainly if not entirely due the fact
that Walla Nsila is the centre and point OF

BLACK MAIL.-On Tuesday morning last,
DR.. Robert Alexander and wife were arrested
for an assault upon DIR. Renlrew, and alter
an examination before Justice Campbell lu'
vile was discharged it being considered that
she was acting under the coercion OF her nus
band, and DR.. a. was held to answer, IN tue

shameful and barefaced attempt to make
raise in this way, which has ever come under
our observation. DR.. Renfrew, it seems lrOn

A GAMBLER MURDERED.-On Mond,,
night, July 81, between the hours of l2a AM
o'clock, at the Bank Exchange Saloon or
Main street, sporting man named Farms,
Peel, met with his death at the hands of ;,
man of the same profession, who is knOvpa,
Johnny Bull. The circumstances of the af6iy
are substantially as follows: Peel and BuT
wa I'm undoretond, came here together from S,l,
Lake last summer, having formerly been nav,
ners, but had recently dissolved CO. uartnf,.
ship on account of disputes. 1t seem, tb,,
they had quarreled in the carly part of n.
night of the occurrence, at the saloon sbors
referred to, when Peel slapped Bull in lbs
face, and told him to 60 and arm himself
Bull then went away, and, when the salooD
was about closing, Peel also started to On
home. Although usually quiet man Peel
had areputation for courage and desperation
which made him an enemy to be dreaded
hence it is the opinion of many that Bull
fearing to encounter him openly, laid in wait
for a favorable opportunity to assassiuats
him. That opportunity occurred at the time
above stated, when Bull was noticed bv.
policeman (whose beat that night was from
the corner Of Main and Bridge streets IN
somewhere below the Bank Exchapgo) to
conduct himslf in very suspicious manner
/ He was seen to have revo,ver and apearpd
to be watching for some person in the vicinity
Of the saloon above referred to with the iI.
tention Of shooting him. The policeman
contcnted himself with warning several per.
sons of the actions of Bull, but did not feel
warranted in interfering or arresting bin
without more evidence Of his wicked inten.
tions. While proceeding on his beat, and
when within but short distance Of Bridge
street, the policeman heard the report Of a
pistol, and Immediately rushed back 10 find
that Peel had received three shots from Bulls
revolver aud was lying lfeless corpse on
the walk in front of tie Exchange. ltseems
that Peel was coming out from the front door
of the saloon, when Bull, who was lying con.
c aI1d from the glare of the saloon lamps.
and eagerly watching for The appearance Of
lis victim, Immediately advanced aud shot
him through the icart. Peel fell instantly
when Bull shot hiIu again in the neck, and,
holding hi>liistol close to his face, fred again,
The ball entering midway below the left eye,
and near the nose The face is burnt with

Low FREIGurs.-tBy to-day's issue it will be
noticed that the steamer Mary Moody, on Pen
d'Oreille Lake, is carrying pack-trains from Pen
d'Oreille to Kootenai Landing, a distance of 35
miles, and back, (that is up and DOWN, inclu-
ding cargo, for 81 per head, and to Cabinet
Landing and back for SO per head, distance of
50 miles. These rates are about the same, or
near it, as charged by common ferries on the
rivers in the upper country, and trains make
three days travel in one, by taking the steamer,
thereby saving in expense of hands and time
the steamer charges, and, as we understand
have much better roads and feed. Packers will
certainly take advantage of such cheap rates
We are informed by the Agent, H. A. Hogue,
that he has succeeded in getting the steamer
Missoula above Rock Island, without the slight
est damage, and made a successful trip to
Thompson Landing, below Thompson's Falls,
and found the river much better than was e1-
pected, making eight miles an hour up stream.
rThc company Is now iiG!y prepared to transport
freight and passengers from FrG dOreille to
Thompson's, a distance Of 1870 miles, through
the Occur de Alene range of mountains without
delay. Travelling time from Wala Wala to
Pen d'Oreille, three to four days; thence to
Thompson's (by boat, two days thence to He
lena, three to four days; making the entire trip
in from eight TO ten days with ease and comfort,
and with line of good stages the time can be
reduced regularly in six days. The boats make
the down trip from Thompson's to Pen Oreille
in one day.

was not honored,) the claim of VIM Currier,

THE NAILS. - As illustrating the bunging
manner in which the daily mail between Walla
Walla and Portland is carried, we cite tie fol-
lowing The California steamer, With the news.
paper mail, arrived at Portland, on Wednesday,
the 3lst ult According to the schedule, this
mail was due at Wala Walla, on Friday even,
ing, the I'd instant Instead of this, it did not
come to hand until Sunday, the 4ih, thus taking
four days to come through, and this too when
passengers make the trip from Portland to Walla
Walla inside of sc hours. On inquiry, we learn
that the mail was received at the Dalles on
Thursday, and detained there until Saturday.
when it was put on board the boat and brought
to Umatilla thence by dog>cart conveyance it
made its way through to Walla Walla, occupy
ing over three days ard half in making the
tripl If this is not exhibition of snal>like
rapidity, then no judge. The fact is the
whole arrangement for an overland mail between
Walla Walla is unmittigated swindle, and
should be SO understood by the Department.
Instead of line of stages, the contractor has
'placed a couple of dog-carts on the route, and
these propelled by brace of 'Cayuses," man
age to wiggle through in from three to five days,
carrying occasionally handful of mail matter,
the real service being performed by the steHm'
boats For this miserable donkey arrans ement
the contractor receives round sum from the
Government; but not satisfied with good thing,
be is understood to levy tax of three hundred
dollars per month on the o. S. N Company
the consideration being that he is not to put on
a line of stages that would possibly interfere
with the Company's passenger traffic We have
here an edfying spectacle the Government
plundered, the public denied mail facilities, and
the o. S. N. Company black mailed, and all to
line the pockets of the contractor The Post
masters at either end of the route have it in
their power to remedy this abuse, and it is their
duty to exercise it. They can refuse to certify
to the service, and thus debar the contractor
from drawing pay from the Government. Let
them do this in the interest of the public and
the contractor will soon find means to get the
mails through in due season.

NNEE various diseases to which that no.

1t was not the fact of the theatre
being wretched one that 80 muoh
surprised me, as that D should
have one at all. Of all the unhappy
investments in brick and mortar
which have ever come under my
observation, that was decidedly one
of the very worst. Nevertheless,
travelling companies did occasionally
take it for n while, though I should
not like to affirm that any of them
ever got q living out of it.
The performance had begun be-
fore our arrival, and it was with
some difficulty that we found any
one who Ovonid consent to take our
money and admit as. The ill-ighted,
empty look of the house, with its
tawdry decorations, all faded and
mouldered, was wretched in the ex-
treme. My attention was far too
much occupied by the chit-chat of
Potts, to allow of my noticing par
ticularly what was passing on the
stage; but the acting I knew was
ludicrously bad, for it excited in us
so much merriment that an Eruption
into our box OF the D popula-
ton was at .nne time threatened.
But after awhile appeared the young
actress, whom Potts account had
made me anxious to see. Certainly,
I had rarely beheld more exquisite
beauty of face and figure, or more
intelligent aeti9ns Her dress, too,
was simple and Seven poor, yet ii
gave aevaepSe 8 OF q refined tasto:

saw her capabilities at q glance, and

strained, only to be re-awaked, how
ever, by the entrance of the supposed
vampire. "Her father" said Potts,
"decayed gentleman, poor old fellow,
won't let his daughter act without
him." 1t required all my sympathy
