THE ALABAMA ELEcTToN.-The latest phase
of the serious farce Of holding an election in
Alabama to ratify the new mongrel Constitu-
ton amply reveals the infamy Of the Radicals
In the first place, Gen. Grant issued an order
that the polls should not be kept at more than
three districts in any county, nor be held open
longer than four days. The Statrap General
Meade found that the ratification was likely to
be defeated under this order, and upon his
own authority {no doubt well assured that the
Radical Congress would sustain his usurpation)
extended the time Of voting to FIVE days; then
to three days more, or eight days in all--four
days more than the limit ordered by Imperial
Grant. But even with oil this rascally work
the ratification was defeated, and now tits
ordered that the election shall be reopened for
FIVE days, add, very likely, all the negroes will
be allowed, Or compelled, to vote over again,
SO a. to swell the vote to the number required.
But. besides all this, to clinch the matter, Sem
ator Sherman has introduced a bill in Congress
which declares the Constitution ratified by q
majority Of all the votes cast, although this
declaration = contrary to the law, passed By
this same Radical Congress, which provides
that in all elections upon Conventions and Con.
situations in the South, the election shall 20 BIZ
default unless the number Of votes cast shall
BE- equal to . majority Of the number Of rec.
istersd voters. Thus, Senator Sherman. IN
order to carry the ratification, which an the
Radical fraud and rascality has failed TO do n
Alabama, deliberately proposes to violate ths
law Of C0ngfess, passed BY his own vote among
all otbsrs 10 Congress Of biz 6wh party. and 70
do that, for which, IN ono not 3 Radical. he
would call for severe punishment This Ala
bama election outrage b only . fair specimen
Of Radical dishonesty, despsratiop and iniamy.

INvERAcIoUs.-The Missouri Republicans
has exposed Gov. Fletcher, Of that State, 10
what may be called q straight-out lie." Gov.
Fletcher. on Dec 23d. wrote an official letter,
in which he most emphatically asserted that
be had never appointed or issued commission
to one J. FL. Williams. for the Office Of Justice
of the County Court Of Pulaski county, and
added remarks by no means complimentary to
Williams character. In response TO and con-
tradction Of this assertion Of the Governors.
tho Republicans published the certified copy of
the commission which Gov. Fletcher did issue
to the said j. II. Williams, as Justice Of the
County Court Of Pulaski county. dated Dec.
llth-just twelve days before the date Of his
letter Of positive assertion that he had done no
such act. Pretty square lying that.

Mr.. T. Fl. Cam, Wells. Fargo e. Co.'s Mes.

Dalles City to Portland. in two and half days.
about POO pounds Of gold dust, and large
number Of letters. Over the same route Mr..
Postal Agent Quincy A. Brooks has suspended
the transportation Of any paper mail whatever,
and allows only weekly letter mail to DO car

The Postofice Department can readily find
plenty Of honest and competent men, who will
be glad to take the place Of this inefficient
toady of the o. 8. N. Co.,, and who can and
will find way to keep up regular, full mail
communication between Portland and Dalles

PHARIsAICAL.-The Oregonian, a Radical
sheet, denounces the Democrats of Oregon for
having the call for the ensuing State Conven-
tion first published in the Sunday issue Of the
Portland Herald. The Committee who fixed
the time for holding the Convention concluded
their session on Saturday, and. as matter Of
course, the publication was made in the Her
aid of the following day. The Sunday issue of
the Herald is really printed on Saturday night,
while the work on the Oregoaian of Monday is
performed on Sunday. Thus, if Sunday labor
be beam in the eye of that Radical sheet,
why does it compel its printers, and ether en-
ployes, to labor on that dayi But at the same
time the Oregoniaa never condemns, but al
ways approves the abuse of pulpits on Sunday,
by political parsons who talk only Radicalism.

FROZEN TO DEATH.-Mr. j. A. Abbott, Of
Payette Valley, this county. yesterday showed
us letter written by Wash. Vermillion, at
Mormon Basin. Oregon, February 9th, and
addressed to Elijah Dawson. Centerville, 10
this Basin. 1t tells of the death from freezing,
of Walter Moore, formerly of Centerville, and
of the painful suffering of Bright Dawson
brother of Elijah from the intense cold,
while the two men were on their way from
Clark's creek to Mormon Basin. distance of
seven miles, on the evening of January 23d.
They lost their trail in the snow, and were un.
able to make fire, or find any shelter from the
bitter cold weather. Finally Moore gave up
hope, and Dawson was too much exhausted TO
rally him for further battling for life. He
dropped and Numbered from numbness into
death before midnight. Dawson then tried TO
make camp, but bis snow shoes were lost. and
he had barely strength sufficient to grope his
way to clump of willows. in which he man.
aged to repose until daylight, when he made
for house visible u mile and half away
From there word was taken to Mormon Basin,
and party started in quest Of Moore's body.
1t was found, and received appropriate burial.
January 9th. Dawson was removed by his
friends from the hospitable house in which he
first found shelter, on the 26th, and at the date
of the discretionary 6th-hopes were en-.
tertained that he would recover with the loss
of one or two of the fingers Of his left hand.
and one or two of his toes, and be able to re-
turn to mining again in about two months. A
letter came to Moore, just after his corpse had
been brought to the Basin, from his sister. It
was answered by Mr.. Vermillion, with the sad
intelligence Of her brothers DEATH

THE GROVER Il BAKER ELASTIC
STITCH SEWING MACHINES


Are superio. to all others for the following
reasons:
/. They sew direct from the spools, and
require no re-winding OF thread.
2. They are more easily understood and
sed, and less liable 10 arrangement than 9TH
er machines.
g. They are capable of executing perfect
ly, without change of adjustment, a much
greater variety of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines is
much more firm. elastic, and durable. espe-
cially upon articles which require 10 be wash
ed and iroaed than any other stitch
). This stitch, owing to the manner in
which the outer thread is nwrought. is much
the most plumF and beautiful In use. and re-
tains this plumpness and beauty even upon
articles frequently washed and ironed until
they are worn out.
6. The structure of the seam is such that,
though it be cut or broken at intervals of on
ly few stitches, it will neither open, run nor
ravel, but remains firm and durable.
2. Unlike other machines, these fasten
both ends of the seam by their own opera
ton.
g. With these machines, while silk is used
upon the right or face side of the seam. cot
ton may be rsed upon the other side without
lesseniGg the strength or durability OF the
seam. This can be done or no other ma
chine, aud is a great saving upon all articles
stitched or made up with silk.
9. These machines, in addition to their
superior merits as instruments for sewing, nv
a change of adjustment, easily learned and
practised, execute the most beautiful and per-
manent embroidery and ornamental work.
