SIGNS OF DISSOLUTION.

ANY one who has read tho history of
the past, and has half an eye open to the
probable future, must see that the Repub-
lioan party is composed Of material that
canpot long act in harmony, the one part
with the other The great idea of its
leading mon is, perfect equality before
tho laws, of all races, colors and kinds,
while there are various localities in the
United States in which that doctrine,
having DIRECT application, would be dis.
carded. The Pacific coast would vote
against such monstrous proposition, on
account Of tho Chinaman, and California,
besides its distaste for the Chinaman,
would decline to give the " Greaser tho
ballot.
Save in two Of the Northern States,
negro suffrage has been rejected. Ohio,
which gave its tens Of thousands for
Grant, gave decided vote against negro
suffrage while Minnesota, which has new
er been brought in close contact with
that race, voted by large majority for
negro suffrage. Republican leaders ey.
erywhere favor it, because they expect 10
absorb aud control their vote. So long
as this devotion to "equality' is confined
to platforms, the masses even in our own
State will not trouble themselves about
stemming the tide, but float along under
the deceitiul cry Of Union.
The design and object Of the leaders is,
however, of late beginning to impress
themselves upon the minds Of the people,
and they are finding some advocates.
Grant is standing, as it were, between
two fires. II he fail to carry out the ex.
treme measures of the Humps, he will
fall into the hands of the conservatives

have TO go somewhere else. Dir. Bayley

NOT RECEIVABLE.

State Warrants will not bo received at the
the State Treasurer's Office, for County tax
es, as was formerly the case. When, an ap-
preparation is made, the State Treasurer can
receive State Warrants from the counties,
and Immediately charge such warrants to
the appropriate funds as so much money
pqid out. But when there is no appropria-
ton made, as is the case now, these warrants
cannot be received, as il would be paying
money out of tho State treasury without the
authority of law.
County Treasurers will have to govern
themselves accordingly, and not receive such
paper for taxes, or purchase them. they
have heretofore taken such warrants rs an
accommodation to holders, and turned them
into the State treasury as money, but under
the present circumstances il cannot DO done.
-Salem Uaionist.
Here is another evil effect of the
conspiracy concoctcd and being car
ried out by the Governor of Oregon.
The State is virtually repudiating its
own notwithstanding its own pa
per mot because no money has been
paid into the State Treasury; not be-
cause the Taxpayers refuse to pay
their taxes, as usual but because
the Governor of this State, with the
fifteen Radical members Of the Leg
islatpre, has deliberately plotted to
overthrow the State government
But for the part he and they took in
the matter, an appropriation bill
would have passed, and the holders
of State Warrants, instead of being
compelled to submit to Q shave of
thirty or forty per ccnt.-as we un-
derstand they are now doing in Salem
and Portland-would receive their
par value at the counter of the State
Treasurer. Let the people remember
this; and when the taxes are aug
mented, AS they will surely have to
be-let the voters and taxpayers re.
member that they are increased sole
ly by the revolutionary action of the
Governor and his Legislative partners in
iniquity.

INDIAN WAR On THE PLAINs.-Gen-
eral Sheridan has issued field orders
thanking the troops, and congratulating
General Custar on the recent victory over
the Indians. S75 ponies, lib buffalo
robes, 535 pounds powder, 1000 pounds
lead, 1000 arrows, 700 pounds tobacco,
besides pistols, bows, lariats, an immense
quantity of dried meats and other provis-
ions were captured. Two white children
we're reeaptured. A white woman and a
boy were brutally murdered by the Indi-
an women when the attack commenced.
Sheridan announces his intention to ac-
lively prosecute the campaign.
This looks like "biz." We are no
admirer of Phil. Sheridan. We are
not of those who believe him to be q
demi-god. But we are always willing
to award praise where we think 1T
justly due. Sheridan is the only one
sent out to fight the Indians that un-
derstands how to do so successfully.
Whoever successfully conducts cam.
paign against the Indians must move
very swiftly. They must not be ep.
numbered with baggage trains. The
rules. of warfare, applicable to civil
lied nations, must be in a great meas.
ure ignored. He who fights the dev.
| il must fight him with fire; and he
who fights Indians must, to some ex.
tent, turn Indian. Having lived with
the Indians on this coast-having had
one of their women for his wife,
SReri Ian perfectly understands Indi
an character and tactics, and he knows
how to whip them ;-and if the Gov
ernment will let him alone he will
whip them until they will stay whip
ped. He will send "a good many o.
them to their happy hunting grounds.
and he will very essentially lesser

MUSIC AHEAD.

The action Of the Republican mem
bcrs of the Legislature, in vacating
their seats and thus destroying the
quorum, is having most serious Of.
feet upon the finances of the State
and of all citizens in its employ. Vir-
tually the State government is disor-
ganized, and every dollar paid out Of
the Treasury is paid without the sane
tion Of law, and every certificate
Of Indebtedness or warrant issued by
the Secretary il worth no more than
the paper on which it is WRITTEN
These warrants issued by the Secrcta-
~, we understand, are presented To
the Treasurer and endorsed "not paid
for the want OF AN appropriation" 1t
is customary ut times TO endorse drafts
on the treasury mot paid for want OF
funds" when such is the fact, but
without appropriation they are worth
less, and illegal from the beginning.
The only consideration that can give
the warrants now being issued any
value at all, is the presumption that
all the warrants were honestly issued
for services rendered, and that fu-
ture Legislature will order them to be
paid. Now we are willing to assume
that both the Secretary Is, and the
next Legislature will be honest; we
will even admit and certainly hope
that the disfranchised counties will
send members who will not be an ex.
ception to the rule. But "there is the
rub" That honesty is what the bro.
ker, the banker end even the holder
of warrants is afraid of These un-
paid and unauthorized warrants will
be presented to the Legisture for pay.
