where Stand We TODAY.

The Dayton (Ohio) Ledger says: In our
schoolboy days there were names, the very
whisper Of which caused the blood to course
more rapidly through our tiny veins, and
thrill our whole frame with emotions of love
and veneration. Massachusetts, had her
Webster and her Adams South Carolina
her Calhoun and Cheeves-antipodes in pol
itics, equal in talent and greatness. PennS
sylvauia had her Wilkins aud her Sargent,
her Dallas and her Buchanan New Jersey
her SOuthard and Dayton; Georgia her
Crawford and her Berrien; Michigan her
Cass New York her Wright and her Gran
ger; Kentucky gave tous her matchless orator,
Henry Clay and her uuequally idolised
Crittenden 'Old Bullion for years, was a
walking encyclopedia of knowledge in the
Senate from Missouri; White and Smith,
and of later years, the gifted, gallant but
unfortunate Hannegan, were the pride of
Indians and others of the sisterhood, from
the granite hills to the great West, and the
magnificent domain Of the South, sought to
become the nurseries ofstatesmenN; while our
own proud Ohio added to the GALAXY of iu-
tellect and worth her Allen and her Ewing,
her Tappan and her Corwin.
Where stand we to>day?
The Senate has become an arena for the
display of pedautry and political charlaan,
ism, while the halls of the House are daily
disgraced by incendiary appeals to the worst
of passions, the bandying of epithets, and
the indulgence of obscene jests. Extreme
partisan bitterness is the prerequisite to
place willing subservincy to the whip'crack
of mOuntebank and unpriucipled leaders the
qualities which ensure retention of favor.
The day of statesmen, so far as the halls of
Congress are concerned, has gone by. There
is an almost hopeless dearth of virtue or in.
tellect in our rulers and lawmakers. Snm-
ner, the pedant, is the oracle of wisdom,
where Webster was once the intellectual
giant of his section the drunken Chandler
supplies the place of Cass, the sage and
model of propriety; Thad. Stevens, with his
venom and extravaganza, was leader in the
halls where Pennsylvania wac once bonored
by her wilkins and her Sargent; while our
own Ohio is cursed, in either branch, by the
infdelity and fanaticism of such men as
Shellabarger and Wade.

SPOKANE DhlDdhi NV. Atf AoNo'
EDIroR STATESMAN "A few days ago
we had quite severe introduction of winter
now fell to the depth of an inch, accOmpa,
MED with some rain and considerable wind ;
but the ground, at my present writing, is
free from snow, and the weather pleasant,
dissipatipg for the time our fears of dread
winter. There is snow now lying on the
Coeur d'Alene mountains to the depth of Is
or IS inches. The settlers on the mountain
and this side have been driven out by the
Indians, and some have sold out and others
have gone into winter quarters in more con-
congenial climes There is not settler now
between the Bitterroot ferry and the Coeur
d'Alene Mission. Boise was run off from
Mud Prairie by the Indians, and the Priest,
at the Mission, has bought out Pinkham
and Hardin, at the ferry, on the Occur
d'Alene river Thus it will be seen that
they intend to have things their own way.
They are the monarcbs of all the country
from the Mission to Bitterroot. No settlers
are wished between these points. The Mis-
sion Indians are still as beligerent as ever,
and continue their insults to persons passing
through the country.
The Occur d'Alene mines have had new
interest added to them lately. There is en-
couraging news from the St. Joseph diggibgs
There are about fifty persons in there now,
who intend wintering there, as they have
laid in large supple, and when winter shuts
in on them they will be compelled TO remain
for they cannot get out of there then if they
should desire to do so.
Ben. Welch and party are still in the Pen
d'Oreille mines, east of Fort Colville, and
are making from So to SIG to the hand daily.
They came out short time ago to Colville
and purchased their winter supplies, loading
some fifteen animals. They purpose remain
ing there during the winter. The parties
who have been prospecting higher up on the
same river and lis tributaries have not been
heard from lately.
The news from Perry Creek is still en-
couraging, and all the miners who have come
from there intend returning in the spring.
One man came here a few days ago with
$3.50, taken from the new camp. He says
he continued at work until everything froze
up so that he could not work any longer.
Particles of gold were visible all along and
about the rocker, which he thawed out and
worked under many difficulties for several
days before be left 1t is expected that it
will make quite camp next year. Some
estimate that there will be three or four thou
sand people there. $50 mote it be-

Tbs DELEGATEsHIP. On the radical side,
the Tribune and Transcript, both published
at Olympia, have come out in favor of the
re election Of Hon. Alvan Flanders, The
Register, published at Vancouver, seconds
the nomination. The Olympia Republican
is strong for Gar6elde, and thus the strife in
the radical household seems to be narrowed
down to a contest between Flanders and
Gar6ede. The first has the influence of the
internal revenue department, with its host Of
officers, in his favor, whilst the latter has
only brains and eloquence to aid him. In a
contest between money aud mind, money is
almost sure to win, and hence it is thought
that Flanders is ahead in the race. The
radical organ proposed to be established at
Walla Walla, it is understood will be in the
lntere't of Flanders. This, without doubt.
is the intention of its originators. but An
derson Cox having a finger in the pie, the
chances are that he will steal its thunder
aud leave Flanders friends to "hold the
bag, The gray old fox of COppei, uses the
radical party very much as he does lemon
and when he gives it a squeeze it is for hil
own benefit. Cox is representative of tn,
class "WhO are all things by times, anC
nothing long and hence it is more, thar
probable that the radicals will refuse to trus
him. This is the present position of tn
Delegateship, as viewed from a radical stand

REPUBLICAN PAPER.-A meeting of the leading

the City Hall, on Saturday evening last, for the
purpose Of devising measures to secure the pub
LEGATION Of republican paper in this county
The opinion expressed was, that that the county
is about equally divided in politics, and that
with the aid of an organ that would present their
views 10 a favorable light to the public, they
might expect to carry the county at the next
election. No definite plan of operations was
agreed upon, further than to authorize Anderson
Cox to proceed to Portland, and there make the
best arrangements possible both for procuring a
press and an editor. Mr.. C. started below 90
Tuesday morning, aud in due time we presume
that We shall have a full. .aedged republican pa>
per in our midst. This movement has been
brewing for some months, and has been greatly
Strengthened by the election Of Grant. The re,
publieaas in this quarter feel that heretofore
they have not bad their due share in the spoils,
and think that with the aid Of an organ they
will be able to secure a more equitable division
in the future. When the new " organ'' makes
its appearance we calculate to have rather lively
times, and will feel more free to show up the
rasealities of radiealism than heretofore. The
effect of the movement will be to heal up the
divisions that have heretofore weakened the
democracy, and instead OF carrying the county
for the mOngrel ticket, We think it will be the
means ofseeurinR democratic majority Of moi
less than three hundred. Time, however, will
settle all this, and In the meantime we can as
sure the radicals that the democracy of Walls
Walla don /" scare worth q daru."

THE SETTLEMENT WITH ENGLAND.
Chicago, Nov. 2S.-A special t6 the Trii-
bune says Mr.. Seward still refuses to give
any information about the Alabama treaty
question. 1t has been accertained, however,
that the informal agreement between Minis
ter johnson and Lord Stanley contains no
essential points different from the statement
already telegraphed. The talk here is that
they do not so much object to the provisions
of the third article, whereby all Engand's
responsibility for recognizing the Southern
Confederaoy are waived as to the scope of
the first article, whereby our Government is
bound to pay all British claims made up for
the last fifteen years. Under our laws, as
they now stand, even the most loyal South
ern claimants cannot get damages from our
Government. johnson proposed that the
treaty would bind US TO pay the claims not
only of British subjects who indirectly aided
the South dnriug the rebellion, but OF Eng
lishmen who lived in the South during that
period, and did all that they could to over
throw the Union. There is reason to believe
that Mr.. Seward has sent dispatches to Mr.
johnson notifying him that our Government
could not accept the proposed protocol

THE PORTLAND Posi- 0FFICE.-The jury
in the case Of Postmaster Randall, of. Port
land, charged with ahstracting gold dust from
a letter, failed to agree on verdict, and
we're discharged. 1t is understood that the
evidence against the accused was very strong,
and although insufficient to convict the pris-
oner was quite sufficient to blast his good
name. Randall was appointed Postmaster
at the special instance Of Senator Williams,
who endorsed him as one of the " trooly

New PRoPRIETOR.-T The Portland Herald
Of the Goth announces that Dr. w. Weather
ford has purchased that establishment, and
is now sole proprietor, and the business of
the Office will be conducted exclusively in his
hame. No change has been effected in the
editorial management, and in our judgment
none is necessary. Mr.. Brown has displayed
both tact and ability in conducting the
Herald, and hence we think it would be bad
policy to set him aside for some new or
nntried man.
Since the above was in type, we have re-
ceived the Herald announcing Mr.. Browns
retirement. Mr.. pennOyer succeeds to the
vacant editorial chair.
