PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

This document will BE- found in our
columns, in full and we advise every
body to give it thorough and care
fal perusal. In many respects il Is
one of the best state papers that has
emanatcd from the White House for
many long day. The Oregonidn
thinks Congress should have refused
to receive" IL; and claims that cit
Is an insult" 10 Congress and the na.
tion. The great sin of which John.
son il guilty, in the message is, that
he recommends the repeal of the Re
construction Acts. aud states facts
and presents arguments relative to
the national debt and finances gener
ally, that are clear, aud logical, and
unanswerable. That is his sin. That
is why "Congress should have refused
to receive" his message.
BY the way, this yiperous remark oi
the Oreg0nidn, and other Radical pa
pers, relative TO the message, shows
the animus of the Radical leaders SC
unmistakably, that We deem further
comment necessary. II exhibits a
very proscriptiye and intolerant spir.
it. The message Is not objected to
on the ground of It's style; but sim.
ply on account Of the sentiments il ex
presses. That is to say, if q man
dares to express opinions adverse to
those held by the Radical leaders, he
is TO be taboocd, and mathematical
and imprisoned-just as he was dur
ing the war; and VIC have no doubt
that some of them are secretly hoping
that when Gen. Grant shall occupy
the Presidential chair; when the Rad
icals shall have unrestrained and un
limited sway, that military power
will again be employed to silence free
dom of speech and of the press. We
know it is in the hearts of some o.
them; and we expect to see an at
tempt again made to compass their
object.
The last Legislature of Oregon
passed law exempting from execu.
tion certain firearms owned by any
male person over sixteen years of age
viz: one revolver, one shotgun, (sin
gle or double-barrelled,) and one rife
or yager. We hope every person in
favor of free speech and free press
will procure these weapons aforesaid
for they are good property anyway
they are handy to have in the house
to shoot game with, and to fire off OF
Christmas and other holidays. Yes
buy 'em, by all means. They arr
mighty handy" to have about tht

THE PRESIDENTS SALARY.

By paragraph from q leading Aboli.
ton paper, reproduced elsewhere, it viii
bc seen that steps have already been Ia.
ken to increase the salary .of President
Grant 10 500, 900 per annum. so that he
should not be compelled TO live ID "cheaE
clearinghouse style" This suggestion
originates in the unwonted degree Of syc.
ophancy to power engrafted upon the
loyal mind, aud the necessity Of employ
ing some new means to secure the favor
of the incoming President. Nearly ev.
cry Ioud-mouthed loyaIist in the Republi
can party is candidate for Office, and
each one thinks he can promote his own
interests by rendering himself conspicu
Gus as an advocate for the increase ol
Grants pay. Each office-seekcr would
be willing to give Grant million q year
provided he would, in return, give him
an Office wherein he could steal q few
thousands. Gen. Grant, from hauling
wood at the rate Of So per cord, has,
within eight years, risen to position
that commands salary Of $4,000 pei
annum, with perquisites innumerable.-
He has been given, and accepted, all sorts
Of presents, from terrier pup and box
of cigars, up to a brown.stone front In
the second city on the continent. The
funkies, never tired Of bcstowing, Grant
was never known to refuse. When An,
dy johnson was offered a magnificent
span of horses and regal carriage, BY
an association Of New York capitalists
he refused it because it was unbecomine
his position to accept gift which would
have placed him under obligations to cit
izens who might have had occasion to ask
him for favors incompatible with the pub
licgood. Whoever heard of Grant refusing
gift upon such, or any other grounds
Yet servile sycophants Of the Abolition
party would vote this fortunate soldier Q
salary three times greater than any ever
received by President out of the sweat
of the oyer-burdened and famishing Ia
Dor Of the country. The depletion Of
the Treasury is not yet sufficiently rapid
to crafty the Unsuitable loyal cormoranti
who have fastened upon it. The salaries
of public officers were raised when green
backs were worth but thirty cents on the
dollar; IT is now proposed to again in
crease them, when the value of the cur,
rency has appreciated. These facts, dis
graceful as they certainly are, are but in
cidents in the grand march towards repu
diation and imperialism. - Columbus Cri

A LADY AND FoUR CHuDREx
BURNED TO DEATn.-The Memphis
(Tcnn.) 4Uala,achs of Nov. II, says:
The Hotel at Mckenzie station. the
junction of the Memphis and Louis
vile and Nashville and Northwestern
Railroads, was consumed by FIRE about
three o'clock yesterday morning. The
building was composed of wood, and
the flames spread with great rapidity.
The sleeping inmates were aroused by
the Kissing of the flames and volumes
ofsmoke that poured into their rooms.
They were compelled to leave the
house with whatever of clothing that
could be obtained in their hurEed
fight. All emerged safely but LADY
from North Carolina, who, with faar
children, occupied room in the upper
story. The smoke SO blinded them
that they lost their way, were driven
back, and before assistance could reach
them burned to death.

We now desire to issue. Ofthe 5000, GOO IS

bonds to bear seven per ct interest. The deed
of mortgage is in the general form in unlver-

it is believed as we'll as it's form, will prove
ample as an available and ready security.
The floating debt being extingushed, and
the means for pressing forward with the con,

start with the road finished and we'll equipped
for 81 miles, ard graded six miles further; ;
the cost Of all which has been over s., 10000
and it's present value is but little less. Labor
is now abundant and cheap much more so
than it is farther east or north, both of the
skilled and unskilled classes. Now, indeed,
is the favored time for pushing this work; and
We confnently appeal to capitalists and rail
road builders to make full proof of the merits
of the road We wish to have nothing to do

DISTURBANCE AMONG CANAL ATMEN.-
On Monday last, after some Of the strikers had
gone to work loading coal at Cumberland for
Alexandria, boat belonging to the Central
Coal Company, attempted to 60 through the
locks in the canal, at that place; when party
of "roughs" demaned to see the Captain s
manifest. He at once produced it, and when
they discovered that the amount for the trip
page had been left blank 1.-THE company not
having at that time definitely settled upon the
exact price, they said the boat should not 20
through. Other boatmen at once rallied TO
the assistance of the captain, and general
fight Immediately ensued, in which Chas Ar
rjngton, one Of the American Company's men,
was engaged-he insisting upon the right Of
the boat to go through. Between nine and
ten clock the same night the fight was re-
newed, but by whom it has not been determin-
ed, the result however was that two men were
shot-one in the head, the other in the arm
and one severely injured by a billy or slung-
shot. Arlington was arrested, the next day:
charged with firing the shot.
There never were before so many boats at
one time, at Cumberland as have been collect
ed there during the past week, and as the
hands upon them have been very unruly, more
or less fighting has occurred there daily, for
some time past.
