their doctrines. The best Catholic authorities
now declare that nearly five millions Of persons
belong TO their denomination. In 1850 there were
in Rhode Island and Connecticut only 5000
Catholics; there are now rs 900. At the same
time Pennsylvania contained 50 sol, while there
ere az present 275 600 in the diocese Of Philadel
phis alone. In Illinois there were 20 loo, aud the
district about Chicago now alone counts 10000.
The diocese OF Albany and Buffalo have 100000

BEAST BUTLER.-The impeachment trial
has given the "bottled up" hero of Bermuda
Hundred a great opportunity for display.
He has strulted, and fretted, and fumed, aud
all to the purpose of having himself set down
as the verriest ass that ever assumed to reg
ulate the affairs of a mighty nation. The
man who at New Orleans stole gold by the
hundreds of thousands, and in his raPacity
spared not even the "spOous" of the uufortu'
nate Southerners who came under his rule,
was fit person to lead the radical crusade
against the President for having committed
the, to them, objectionable sin of defending
the Constitution and laws As General be
proved himself a paltroon, and in the im'
peachment trial he has shown himself an eyre.

TRIAL OF JANIS RYAN.--Duriug the week the
District Court has been occupied in the trial of
James Ryan, for the murder Of Frank L9vejoy,
at Beartown, in September last. Ryan's case
was continued from the October aud Decem Der
terms Of the court, at request Of defendant. The
evidence is too volumnious for us to lay before
our readers in full. Ed. Stone, p. Ratterv. Ben !.
Barlow and DR.. Frost were examined On the
part Of the prosecution, and several for the de-
fense. The main fact brought out were.-that
Ryan was drunk aud in Smiths saloon on The
night Of Sept. goth was requested to sipo was
interrupted BY George Hurst; the lie passed
between them, when Ryan said "perhaps YOU
think won't shoot" at the same time drawing
bis pistol and shooting the first shot took effect
in the right side of Lovejoy, who was sitting
some twelve feet from Ryan, end several feet
of the range Of Hurst, who was standing inst
outside the door, from the effects of which Love.
joy died in two or three days Ryan Continued
TO FIRE, once at Hurst and once behind The bar
| then walked out on the sidewalk and 6red ons

A FIzzLE.-The New York Herald pro-
nounces the great impeachment trial kEzIe.
There never was such failure There never
was such stale, fat and Improbable cons
clusiOn to anything that so Numbered and
threatened in the prologue. Impeachment
is the old case of forty crows put into the
pompous character of a great political pro-
cess. Forty crows, as we are all aware,
would hardly cover the number, even as sta
ted by those most moderate in speech. Some
said the flight darkened the heavens, and at
the last it was barely possible to prove the
presence of one solitary little blackbird. So
the nation that was assured its liberties and
peace were in danger from the countless and
heinous crimes of the Executive finds, when
it comes to evidence in court, that the prose-
cution cannot prove enough to send juve.
nile delinquent to the House Of Detention
for two days. On the trial it has been
proved that the President "issued an order
for the remoxal of Stanton-not that he had
removed him, or had not the right to remove
him or issue the order; the attempt has been
made to prove that the President cOnspired
with soldiers to oppose the laws, and this has
resulted in clearly proving that he did not so
conspire. Instead of showing anything to
Justify the removal, or even censure of the
President, the trial has shown that the Ex-
ecutive acted with vastly more circumspection
than he had been given credit for, and that
in his instructions to General Thomas be
cautioned him against the exhibition of haste
or use of force. 1t is more than likely that
before this reaches the eye of the reader the
result of the trial will be known, but whatev-
er may be the verdict of "packed jury" it
is quite certain that the trial has greatly
strengthened the President in public esti>
nation.

INDIAN WAR CLAIMS. i Hon. Alvan
Flanders has written circular letter in which
be details the various efforts he has made to
have the Indian war claims due citizens of
this Territory adjusted. All efforts thus
far have proved Intellectual, and as a last re-
sort Mr.. Flanders has taken the initiatory
steps in Congress to have an act passed au>
thorizing the prompt payment of the claims.
In the event of refusal on the part of Con-
gress to authorize and direct the payment of
the several claims due to the people of Wash
ington Territory, incidental to aud growing
out of Indian hostilities in said Territory in
1856 and 1856, as the claims now stand, he
will make an earnest effort to obtain the con-
sent and authorization from Congress of the
appointment Of a Special Commission, whose
duty it shall be to proceed to the Territory,
and investigate, audit and report upon all
claims due and remaining unpaid, on account
of said war; and upon making their report
to Congress their awards shall be binding
upon the Government, and payment to be
made in accordance Herewith at the earliest
practicable period thereafter. He is of the
opinion that this plan, provided Congress can
be induced to favor its adoption, will result
favorably to the parties in interest Such a
course would lead to a more speedy and equi'
table liquidation of these claims which are
so justly due to the citizens of Oregon and
Washington, and from whom payment has
so long been grievously withheld by the
general government, and would thereby pre-.
vent vexatious procrastinalion and a saving
10 the National Treasury.

THE WILSON DARWIN ScANDAL.-About
year since the people of Washington Ter
ritory were greatly exercised about divorce
suit, in which Judge Darwin figured rather
disgracefully. The application was denied
and since that the public has heard but little

Darwin and the discarded wife are living in
the same house, at steilacoOm, where it i,
understood they maintain the relation,
more appropriate to man and wife. Rather

yet up to this time the laws have not been

requires three months aud half to get out
a volume of less than three hundred pages,
but if so, it is something new in the history
of the printing art. The people of the Ter
ritory are supposed to be governed by these
laws, and yet have no means of knowing their
requirements. Will Secretary Smith give
this matter his attention. We understand
that the Secretary claims that the public
printing is "part of the perquisites of biz

From the above it appears that the best wheat
producing States last year were Vermont, Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut. In only IA States
did the yield to the acre exceed IL bushels.
Look at it carefully in only IA States of this
Union did the yield of wheat per acre exceed IL
bushels! The farmers in this Valley know that
they can trebble these figures. Look at the fig
ures for Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee, only
little over eight bushels to the acre North
and South Carolina below seven bushels; and
where there is one man raising wheat in Walla
Wslla Valley, there are ten, or perhaps twenty,
in either Of these States, and doubtless every
one of them doing better than the wheat-raisers
in this Valley and why is this? Glance for a
moment at the price per bushel which the farm
ers in the different States receive for their grain.
The highest price received is 50 80, and the
lowest 81 80, making an average of So 231 per
bushel. You must remember that this is the
price within the State where the grain is raised,
and not what the State of Maryland received for
her wheat when she had delivered it in the city
of New York. Maryland received So AZ at home;
the State of New York received So "a; Nebras,
ka, although she raised fifteen bushels to the
acre, only received 81 80, the lowest in the list
of prices, with only three States outstripping
her in quantity. Would not the farmers in this
Valley readily accept ST 80 per bushel for what
wheat they could raise in this valleyr think
they would. Now what is the reason they can,
not do it? Our great lack of transportation.
1t is railroad facilities that regulate the prices
You must know that one or two railroads runs
ming through such States as New York or Hi.
nois, must require branch roads to CONNECT with
the one or two main trunks. But Walh Walla
Valley is the wheat growing portion of this Ter.
ritory, hence a branch railroad through this
Valley is an indispensable necessity, and must
be built, or we had all better sell out 10 some
persons that will develop the country. GUMrUx
