The attack on Judge Kennedy, which
appeared in the La Grande Seutinel meets
with universal condemnation. There is not
democrat in the Valley who favors it, and
even the reputed author is disposed to disowu
his production. The feeling is tha. of de-
termination to give the new Judge q fair
trial, and then if he fails to meet public ex.
pectatou it will be time enough to condemn
him. This thing of convicting a man srst
aud trying him afterwards is contrary to all
sense OF justice, aud is calculated to build I'D
rather than break down the party thus
wrOngfully assailed. At the date of "Walla
Walla's" communication Judge Kennedy
had not taken his seat ca the bench, and Of
course there was no opportunity to form an
opinion as to his fitness for tho discharge Of
the duties Of the Office. Since that time he
has been hOldiOg Court daily, aud we but
echo public sentiment when we say that he
has given very general satisfaction. As n
partisan we shall always be found opnos;o,
Judge KS peculiar views Of public poliey,
but no mere partisan differences will ever
induce us 70 belittle or Wautonly assail him

THE GovERNoRsuIP- We regret to say
that Governor Cox's chances to reach the
gaOl of his ambition are growing beautifully
small. The difficulty originates in this wise:
In 1867, Gar6elde stumped the Territory for
Flanders, the consideration being $1,000, the
payment of which was guaranteed by Gov.
Cox. Flanders, as usual, has never paid this
Indebtedness, and Garfelde now looks to the
security, and tells him that the Governorship
is not to be thought of until the $1,000 is
forthcoming. The old "pig driver" had
made up his mind to pay the money, and to
that end was about to sell valuable horse,
hoping thereby to realize the amo1ut. Un-
fortunately the animal sickened and died,
leaving Gov. Cox unable to raise the money
and efectually shutting him out from the
place he so greatly covets. In this view CT
affairs Col Cock appear TO be ahead of the
Coppei sage in the race for the Governorship
Of Washington Territory.

The BOUTWELL, POLICY.-The jerky and
spasmodic manner in which Secretary Bout
we'll is fuddling with the finances, says the
Chicago Times, is bringing upon him the
censure of the press and of business men, ir.
respective of party, all over the country In
June he contracted the currency to such an
extent as to create stringency in the money
market by which money shavers could max e
loans at any rates of interest they might
choose to demand. Then he began to buy
bonds, which eased the money market and
bonds advanced in price. Now there is a
rumor tina: he does not intend to purchase
more bonds Immediately and as a conse>
quence, they go down, and the money mars
ket is tight again. In these operations, Ger.
tain parties in New York have learned what
be intends to do, and have made immense
speculations BY this knowledge. The New
York Erening Post mentions holders OF cer-
tain stocks who have made s5,00O,00O by
means Of " leakage in news from the Treas,
ury Department" That such advantages
should be given or gained by such means, is
enough to justify the suspicion that Mr.
Boutwell, employs his Office for the benefit of
himself and his friends His vaci.latiug
policy damage business, and permits 20
bass of calculation as to whether the money
market will be made easier or more stringent

The democratic triumph in Tennessee
carries with II the election of Andrew John.
son to the United States Senate, who is of
all men the very last the radicals would have
thurst upon their deliberations. We are no
particular admirer Of Andy johnson, but
knowing that there is any amount of dirty
work to be done 10 the Senate deem him the
very man for the place. 1t will be a sight to
remember when the gentleman from Tenn
essee" rises to address the Senate. Then will
Sumner gnash his teeth in impotent rage
doublY iWpotent for the reason that he lacks
that Virility which is at once the badge and
pride of manhood. Harry Wilson, too, will
slink away from the gaze of the man he so
yainly sought to impeach and Colfsx, the
Oily Cannon Of the radical party, will quail
before the glance Of the rough but honest
backwoodsman. There will be scene for
picture 10 which radicalsm, cowed and dis.
hearteued, will gladly skulk away aud seek
tie cover Of darkness.

WHAT Co.'s WITH THE MoNEY.-Prior to

the election of Grant to the Presidency, great
promises we're made by himself and his
parlisans of a speedy reduction Of the public
debt. We are in stale of profound peace
with all nations, and no internal strife to
cause an outlay of money. The receipts
from revenue and customs are unprecedent,
edly great, and yet the decrease 10 the pub
lie debt since the lst of March up to the lst
of July, has only been S36, 400, ,799; nor can
it be said that there is. in fact any decrease,
for the interest which fell due on the 1st Of
July amounts to $4,000, 900, which more
than absorbed the above reduction. The
fact is, there is no real reduction, nor will
there be whilst set Of cormorants are in Of
6ce, who indulge in the most reckless ex,
and whose gFasping propensitiea
cause them to sieze the earnings Of the
many and appropriate them to the aggraud,
izemeut Of the few.

The PRoHIBIToRY LAw.-The Boston
Herald says that, under the operations OF the
prOhibitOry law, lager beer is the only bever.
age the sale Of which is practically restrict
ed IN Boston. Whiskey. brandy, rum gin
and wines Of all sorts can be obtained with
as little trouble as ever; but beer, which is
moro bulky aud must be drawn in a certain
way to be good. can only be obtained 10 a
few places. "The consequence is that while
a large amount of this mild aud wholesome
beverage is liable to be wasted, Thousands
who used to driEk it and nothing u ,ore are
now driven 10 drink the fiery spirit which
from their concentrated form, are N ore easily
KEEP, in closets aud corners. The effect i

FATHER McMAHoN.-Thei Canadian Gov
ernment has released Father McMahon, the
Fenian prisoner in Kingston Penitentiary.
He was tried sometime in the fall of 1866
for completely in the Fenian raid at Niagara
Falls and sentenced to twenty years in the
Peniteutiary. Several efforts were made by
Secretary Seward to have him released, but
without avail. The present action of the
Canadian Government is taken without any
references of the matter to the English au>
thorities.

The SANE HERE.-The N. Y. Sun saws
the military spirit to which alone Louis Ma.
pOleou is indebted for his ill-gOtten power,
reduces the masses of the French to poverty,
and saddles burden of taxes upon them
which will cause the name of its author to
be cursed, for generations to come, as the
most INSCRIPTIONS trifer with the welfare of
great people whom the world has ever
known Grant is indebted to the same
military spirit for his ill gotten power says
the N. Ii. Patriot, and the effect is the same
here as in France. 1t has saddled upon our
people "a burden Of taxes which will cause
the names of its authors to be cursed for
generations to come, as the most unscrupu.
lous trifier with the welfare of great peo
Ple.' While it is nlledged that tho sums
payable in interest have been nearly doub-
led in twenty years in France, they have
been increased more than a hundred fold in
this country, and upon our people now rests
a burden Of taxes far heavier than France
has TO bear.

The New York Tribune calls upon honest

tions made by the party.

IT CUTs.-In letter to Judge Nicholas,
Alexander H. Stephens says: There is no
hope but in getting back to the old Jefer-
sonian anchorage; otherwise VIC must come
to consolidation, imperialism, and the de-
structiOn of popular liberty This sentence,
remarks an exchange, makes the Mongrel
editors howl like wolves. Its truth cuts
across their backs like a scythe.

TIE RADICAL KEY-NOrE.-Forney, WHO
has served as fugleman to the radical party
ever since its organization, says the Holmes
County (OhiO) Farmer, sounds the key note
of the party on Virginia the election. The blast
is furious one. Although the party has
met with Waterloo defeat. sAll is no,
lost, says Forney. Congress stili holds the
key of the citadel. Governor Walker and
his friends may declare that they are repub,
leans but they have assumed the response
bility. We have an organization, as We have
platform, and only those who obey the one
and stand upon the other can hope to be re-
garded as repub leans, or look for recogui-
lion from repub lican Congress- The par
" shibboleth is titus sent forth, not only in
relation to Virginia, but in relation to Mis-
sissippi aud Texas. What has been done in
Virginia will 6e done in the remaining 'un-
constructed Statesi, where elections are ap.
pointed for the la vt Tuesday in November.
Why the elections in those States were put
off almost month after all the Northern
States elections, is readily understood. The
administration hop es that the result in the
Northern elections may be such as will
strengthen the Joco bin party 10 Mississippi
aud Texas, and eusb BILE them to recover for
the party at large the disaster they have
sustained 10 Virgin 10. But it will not do.
The result in Virginia assures new divis.
ion of parties throughout the South. The
division is already made in Tennessee, and
the result is pretty plainly foreshadoved
1t will be made in Mississippi and 10 Texas,
and nothing but interference with the bay.
Onet can prevent Conservative triumph.

CHINESE SLAvERY.-Liberty, freedom,
independence, says the s. F. Herald, is the
glorious heritage, the inestimable gift of
every human biped within the confines of
our broad domain except one solitary type
the aImond-eyed children of the FlOwery
Kingdom. Millions of money aud myriads
of lives have been laid down to free the me-
gro, and now, while the people are yet stag,
gering under heavy taxation, and while the
blood of the slain yet stains the earth, the
manacles wrenched from the limbs of the
negro are being rivited upon those of anoth-
er dusky tribe. Where are the eloquent ad>
vocates of higher law?" Phlantbropic
Wendell Phillips, do you not know that Ii
censed slavers are landing upon our shores
hundreds of slaves every month? +? They are
purchased on speculation by our capitalists
in their native land, brought here and sold
out to spectators and contractors; as so
many sheep and oxen, and woe be unto the
Chinaman who attempts to escape his thrall
dom-he is found dead. Learn, gentle Anna,
before you depart from among us, how China
girls and China women are daily bought and
sold on our streets. We are fostering aud
maintaining in our midst system of slavery
more odious, more damning in its effects,
than ever clouded the life of the African.
Some day John Brown and his paudemonium
knapsack will march among us again, and the
question of the conflict of races will be ar
gued, with the frebrand and the bayOnet for
weapons.

Down ON GRANT.-The disgraceful nep.
otism of Grant, together with his numerous
blunders, is exciting considerable feeling
among the radicals. The New York Cons
merciaI (Thurlow Weeds orgau), says this
about the President: "Some of the ex.
treme party organs have taken to scolding
tie Sun because of its bold blunt manner of
talking to General Grant. 1t would be much
better for General Grant and the radical
partyIif some of these cringing, time serving,
Office expecting champions Of the President
would follow tie example of the Sun, aud
tell him to his face that he has done nothing
out blunder since he entered the White
House. These termagant organs know it,
but lack the courage to speak their mind, for
fear Of losing their chance of being made
Postmaster or tide waiter. General Grant
has been acting like spoiled child, and
gentle application of birch would be likely to
have powerful effect upon him. We ad.
wise the special friends of the General, who
are acting as superannuated grandmas and
grandpas do with pet graudchild, to rememr
Der the ancient adage, spare the rod and
spoil the child We speak thus because we
think the occasion demands it even at the
risk of being assailed as conservative, play.

little wholesome truthiclling,applied to Pres

to him and the party"

THE New York Tribune reviews the situa-
ton in Texas, and in regard to the continu-
Gus whines of the radicals Of that State,
says:
"They forget that our Government must
be republican or despotic, and that q rule
based on the prescription Of full third Of
the adult males-this third comprising two.
thirds of the property, with very large share
of the natural ability. experience and intel,
ligence which are presumed to fit the men
for responsible participation in poitics-is
questionably republican. 1t may do-nay,
it muslin the immediate presence of a
formidable rebellion it cannot be maintained
indefinitely after that rebellion has thrown
down its arms Our Southern republicans
are quite free 10 telling US what they must
have, and how impossible it is that they
should live under rebel rule we tell them
in turn, that is impossible that we should
perpeuate a rule over the South in which
the people of the South, or any considerable
share Of them, are denied a vote. If we
should attempt to do it, we would simply
sacrifice cur ascendancy in the North, and
they can judge where this would leave the
republicans of the South We can do and
dare much here, for equal human rights We

WHAT WILL They DO WITH Ir?-The
New York World says indications multiply
that tho radicals will attempt to nullify the
verdict Of Virginia. Forney openly calls on
Congress not to recognise the Walker gov
ernment, which means, of course, to reject
the COngressmen2 elected, and the Senators
to be elected under it. Mr. Greeley, by his
doubtful acceptance of the situation, squints
the same way. Probably Sumner, the car
pet-bag Senator, and not few House mems
bers eau be found willing to repudiate the
bargain made with the State bargain that.
if certain things were done, Virginia should
be admitted. The certain things have been
done, but the way of doing them bas not been
pleasing to the radical leaders. What will
they do with it? Will they admit the State
If so, we'll but not Wells Will they keep
her out! II so, still we'll. The cOnserva,
tives can richly afford to 60 before the coun
try on such an issue, Virginia's half huu.
dred thousand majority can be prOportionate,
ly obtained in thirty States, as the reaction
of any such swiudle as the further exclusion
Of the Old Dominion. Reconstruction now
means conservative victory. If the rule be
that conservatism is to assure continued dis.
union, let us know it plainly. II that's the
last plank in the platform. all right
