in Washington, giving his observations during
his late tour il the South, he stated that the
disturbances were not confined to one party,

A recent defamatory and backyard article,
in relation to the females of North Carolina,
published in the Raleigh Standard, IA Radical
sheet has, it is said, reused great excitement
In that State. Some think it was published to
provoke some disturbance. We hope, if so,
it may fail of its intended effect. But honest,
candid men, of all parties, will see what the
people of the South have to suffer.

% Our taxpayers hardly realize
the great expense entailed on the coun-
try by the army. Before the Jacobins
came into power our army never num-
bered more than $4,000 men. Since
the war it has been increased to 5O,-
600, part of them negroes. When the
Democrats were in power, the whole
cost of our military establishment in
time of peace, was less than twenty
millions, but now, under Jacobin rule,
it was one hundred and fifty millions
in 1867, and not much less in 1868. 1t
costs more than $4,000 per man. The
entire British army, which numbers
2o1 900 men, costs the government but
seventy millions year, while ours, Of
SO, 900 men, costs twice as much. There
must be something wrong here. Near
ly one-half of this hundred and fifty
millions is expended in the South ia
maintain an army to make voters out
of negroes, and to give them the con
itrol of the whites.

SPECULATING IN WARRANTS.

We learn by a gentleman direct
from Salem, that several parties hold
ing State Warrants have been COM
PEELED to sell them to raise means
werewith to cancel their Indebtedness;
and eighty cents on the dollar are
about the average at which they are
selling at the capital. This is a big
shave; but not near so large as it will
be in few months hence if the Gov
ernor persists in refusing to call a spe-
cial session of the Legislature to pass
an appropriation bill. We have no
idea one will be called; for we have
no doubt the Governor, through 9th
ers, is speculating with the public
funds; and when he can make ten OF
twenty thousand dollars by a little
sharp inanclering of this kind-and
make it SO easily, too-with the State
funds which the people have paid in
to the Treasury, does any one suppose
he will have any pity ON the States
creditors?. If they do they don't
know him as well as we do. He Will
skin, and shave, and feather his nest
and those whom the State owes car
whistle for their money, or sell thell
warrants to his agents at ruinous sac
rifice. Oregon has a nice Governor
| in a horn.

TWO STATES GONE OVER.

Iowa and Minnesota have gone the
whole hog, by adopting the reconstruc-
tion policy in regard to negro suffrage,
and to that extent fully endorsing the
unconstitutional interference of Con-
gress with the rights of Southern
States. In this, these two Northern
States are consistent, as, being Repub-
lican, they have swallowed the nos
trum which they have prescribed for
others. Situated too far North to be
liable to such influx of negroes as
would put IN jeopardy the predomi-
nance of the white race, they can af.
ford to be generous towards the few
negroes in their midst. The vote Of
those two Africanized States in favor
of negro suffrage, however, is signifi-
cant of the settled policy of the Rad.
icals in all the Northern States, and
negro equality may henceforth be re-
garded as foregone conclusion. Tho
people of the North may, therefore,
as we'll make up their minds to sub.
init to the fate foreshadowed by the
events referred to. Revolutions sci.
dom go backward. The wishes OF
Summer and Phillips are in fair way
to be realized, and negroes will soon
be welcomed to seats in Congress.

THE OREGON HERALD.

Last week the ofice.of the Oregon
Herald was sold, by the Sheriff, to
satisfy Judgment against the Herald
Publishing Association, in favor of
DIR. eatherford. 1t was bid off by
the Doctor; and not yet satisfying
the demand, the sheriff took posses
sion Of the books, accounts, monies,
dc. The Herald of the first instant
contains the valedictory of Beriah
Brown i'm which he says that his
connection with the Herald ceased
solely on account of other business ar
rangements." The same number also
contains the salutatory of the new
editor-Sylyester Pennoyer. He has
had some experience as editor; and
he settles down into his new position
very gracefully. We wish him the
most complete success.
The Commercial, of lest week, an
nOunced that Messrs. Patterson &
Semple intend soon commencing the
publication of another Democratic
journaLin Portland. Than Mr.. Pat
terson there is no better accountant
and business manager On the coast =
but for him the Herald would have gone
to the dogs long ago. Mr.. Semple is
a young man of more than ordinary
ability;-he wields racy and forcible
pen. They are both personal friends
of ours and we are sure that they
will each give US credit for the best
of intentions and motives when we
say that we hope that they will now
desist from their proposed undertak
ing. Two Democratic journals can
not be sustained in Portland 1T il
with difficulty that one can obtain e
permanent foothold; and as the Her
aid now is in good hands we hope tC
see 1t vigorously sustained by the en-
tire Democracy of the State and ada
cent Territories. We are friend t.
the Herald lit would be unnatura
If we were not; and now that the
chief cause of complaint and dissatis
faction has been removed, we trust al
opposition to the Herald, in our owl
ranks, will cease; and that, under it
new regime, it will be prosperous ia
beyond the most sanguine hopes 0
its most ardent friends and sup
porters.

SOUND JOURNALs-AND THE
UNSOUND.

Notwithstanding an universal cry has
gone up from every quarter of the land
against the base and mercenary treachery
of the New York World to the Democ-
racy in the recent campaign, that paper
has the audacity and impudence to pro.
claim its adherence to Democracy, and
claim that its counsels to abandon Sey.
mour and Blair for Chase saved Now
York and every Northern Conservative
State to tho Democracy. 1t IS sufficient
answer to this unparalleled impudencc of
the World, to state the simple truth that
but for the baneful course of that sheet
and its supporters, before aud after the
New York Convention, the Democracy
would have carried Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Indiana in October, and u majority
Of the electoral vote in November. That
organ Of the bondholders and the polit.
ical land pirates scrupled at nothing to
defeat US, and, unfortunately for the
country, succeeded. We are glad to see,

of sustaining sound newspapers of their
own section, representing their own in

tenance OF such shoddy sheets as the

bondbolders and Eastern capitalists, in
whose interests it IL exclusively run.
This is about the season of the year when
the Eastern shoddy sheets Of the World
stripe arc sending out their prospectuses,

people. We trust that no Democrat will
tolaratc an approach to him for a sub.
scIiption in behalf Of such perfdious

Look at the above figures, tax-pay-

retrenchment and economy Where
is it? Nearly every month of the
year ending August lst, 1868, the
public debt is increased; in all amount
ing to forty-two millions. From Au-
gust lst, 1868, to September lst, 1868,
the public debt was increased over
thirteen millions-in one month-in
time of peace-under Radical rule
and under promise of retrenchment.
The average expense of the govern
ment under Democratic rule, from
1851 to 1851, was less than sixty mil
lions year; but the expenditures of
the Radical government for the three
years last past, have exceeded four
hundred millions each year!

favorable for bridging, but this point is

THE PORTLAND POsTMAsTER

The case was submitted to the jury,
but they could not agree. So it is

heavy bonds for his appearance at the
next term of the L. S. District Court.

Randall is guilty; and that many of
his political friends are forsaking him.

A correspondent of the Cincinna


Commercial says on the same subject:
"Mr. Stewards marriage Is fully an.
nounced. His bride is to be Miss Olive
-, lady not above 25 years of age
She is noted here for her stately figure,
large and almost masculine in her hight
and fullness. Her eyes are dark and her
intelligence is remarkable She will
probably make the most agreeable lady
in Washington society that we have had
since Madison. She halls from Chatauqua
county, New York, where Seward lived
at one time, about twelve years before she
was born, and year before he became
Governor of the Commonwealth. He is
lonely in his great establishments here
and at Auburn, and being an amiable,
sportive, frisky, foxy and infatuating man
of fame, and place, who would not marry
him that was ambitious and the daughter
of politician? his marriage is in.
dorsed by both families, and by Mr.
Seward's mother-in- law, who called the
young bridegroom to her bedside and
babe him to be happy. So says the
country that he has served so we'll anG
helped SO largely to ciyillze."
