CONsOLING REFLEcTIONs.-Thc Port,
land Commercial places great stress upon
the destructive tidal waves which have
lately visited the southern coast, and makes
it the occasion for laying flattering unc-
ton to the souls of its patrons. 1t says:
"Seaport towns with all the additional facilities
afforded by ocean communication, must always in.
this risk subject to these calamitous vsitattons
The recent terrible earthquake in South America,
Was followed Immediately BY nm immense tidal
swell all along the coast, sweeping away towns and
lives. At Calloa, the tide suddenly rose to the
height Of forty feet causing great destruction to the
shipping well to the inhabitants In less than
twenty. hours afterward, an extra tide Of ten
inches experienced at Astoria. Two hour
after the shocks at San Francisco on the Ped ult.
miniature wave Of several inches was observed al
several places along the Sound"
Please don't speak of it, Mr.. CONNER
cial Don't dash the nectar from our lips
Don't, pray don't, stop the tide Of cmigra'
ton now setting this way. We do feel
alarmed, but don't tell anybody Of it

lec,cd that San Francisco is made liable at

farther east than any salt water in the Uni

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC! The s. r.
Examiner of the 18th, says, it is now a
wcll-settlcd and asccrtained fact that tax
ing the vote for Congressman which, in
the aggregate, will sum up as great as that
for President, VIC have carried the State by
about one thousand majority. The Alta
comedies the election of johnson in the
Third District. His majority will probab-
bly, be three hundred. Axtcls majority
in the First District will be almost four
thousand. So; even if the Grant Electors
be chosen, the State has gone Democratic.
OF course the vote on Congressman was
the true test

charges that had been made against Bag

heads. One Of the gentlemen present re-
marked that he thought the Governor was
mistaken; that the man that had done ~
much or more b bring TO light the Uni
vcrity frauds. was one of the most lively
shippers in the Radical cheese. "And
who was that 7" asked the Governor.
"Judge DennisOn," was the answer. Said
Gov. Pickering: I" / don't consider Judge
Dcnnison a loyal man at all. He was ar

was any hopes for the success Of the South
crn COnfederacy, and even now the copper

the latter-day saints smoke, when he gets
to Washington.
BY the way, my trip to Whatcom has
given me an insight into that question 50
often asked, "What becomes Of the mon
cyl" Not having the time to tell you all,
l send you twospecimen "bricks." About
two years ago, q certain Indian Agent in
your vicinity bought of William Utter, Of
Whatcom, through second party, sixty
dollars worth Of FIR lumber. Some time
afterwards he sent. Mr.. U. . blank voucher
to sign. He refused to sign it at first, but
finally did 30 to expedite the settlement Of
his claim, and last week beinga at Olympia
and thinking it about time his bill was paid,
he called at the Superintendent Office to
zee about it, and found that it had been
paid, but instead Of its being for sixty dol
lars, by some queer process it had swelled
to one hundred and SIXTY dollars! An
item of one hundred dollars worth Of cedar
lumber had been added to it! There were
also one hundred dollars worth of hay
bought from up the Snohomish, by this
same loyal duck, and voucher sent to
Washington for fifteen hundred dollars,
When will "loyalty" be properly rewarded.
l think that this trip has done me good
/ have deliberately come to the conclusion
that l cannot conscieutiously longer be-
long to the Radical party, and from this
time henceforth you may consider me any
thing you please but Radical.

Trial Of Jeif: Davls-Motion & eQuash Ii,
Indictment,

RICHMOND, Dec. 5.-In the Davis trial,
on motion to quash the Indictment, Mr..
Dana opened this morning for the Govern
ment. He argued that the 14th amend.
mant pleaded in bar of punishment by the
defendant was not penal statute, but was
merely change in the political system to
secure trustworthiness in Office and preserve
purity in the administration of the Gov
eminent. 1t was measure Of prevention,
to secure the country against filing Offices
with persons who once filed them and
broke their oath. If it had becn intended
to inflict punishment it would have been
the utmost folly in legislation, seeing that
while it would, if viewed as the dcfcnicnt's
counsel viewed it, tighten the punishment
Of those who had held Office and broken
their oaths. Il would leave the person
who never held Office exposed to the rem.
allies of death aud imprisonment, a pro-
nounccd in the Constitution before the
amendment, it was an expression Of the
public as to the fitness Of persons who had
engaged in the rebellion after breaking
their oaths, to hold Office again. OCon-
nor argued that from the very nature Of
the cival war it was impossible to follow it
up by trials for treason, conducted with
the fairness required by law. He declared
it utterly rcpugnant to the worlds idea Of
humanity that the leaders Of a conquered
force, after being recognized during the
war as equal and honorable men, should be
searched out in peace to be hanged Is trail
tors. He maintained that the Government
and the people never intended TO do this,
and for this reason the Fourteenth Amend
ment had been adopted. II was constitu-
tional provision which executed itself.
Amer adjournment Of the Court, the
counsel were recalled, when Judge Chass
announced that the Court was decided, he
(Chase) being in favor Of quashihg the in
dictment, and the District Judge Under
