Once again we call upon the Repub-
lican authorities in tho State Depart
ment to give the public statement of
the condition Of the Treasury. Are
we not to know before we are called
upon to vote for or against the candi-
dates of the Radical party, whether the
Inst batch of its candidates have stolen
a few thousand or O few hundred
thousands ? Mr.. Secretary of the State
is daily issuing State Warrants. This
he does without appropriation and in
contempt of law. Wat the people
want to know is, how many of these
warrants are in circulation. Mr.. Sec
retary may have issued but two hum
dred thousand dollars of these. He
may have issued five hundred thous-
and. They are so many negotiable
notes of hand against the State and
no matter how corruptly issued, in the
hands of innocent purchasers, the
State is as legally liable for their pay
ment as it is for that of any warrant
that Mr.. May has issued since the dis
ruption of the Legislature.
There never were greater opportu-
mites for dishonesty. There.never were

There is very rarely SO great tempta-
tons placed before men so unhappily
deficient in the power to say ''get be-
hind me Satanr' The fate of the
Escheat Fund has excited the liveliest
apprehensions for the safety of the
other funds and it has excited pain
full curiosity respecting the issue OF
State Warrants, which may be is
sued, every day for private purposes
and sold on private account.
We ask the attention of men of all
partes-who are all equally interested
Ito this condition of the public Treas
ury. We ask it particularly at this
time, when people are not deaf and
blind through the passion that po-
htical canvass excites. A Republican
can no more afford to be plundered
than a Democrat and neither can he
any more ignore the unsatisfactory
and dangerous condition of affairs al
the State Department.
1t will be some time before the af.
fairs in that Department can be over
hauled, and unless the Democracy gel
possession of it, they will never be
OYerhauled, SO far as the public are
concerned. There is no doubt but
that chief cause of the anxiety of the
Republican party to carry the nexi
election is the the desire to forever
keep the damaging secrets of affairs al
the State House from the public.

NICE FELLOWS.

II anybody doubts that the Repub-
iean party In New York has got its
full quota of bad fellows, just let him
listen to Horace Greeley In his tribu-
lations. Greeley brags of the big
vote his ticket got in the city and says:
I'VE drew it out in spite of general apathy. Of
the hoPelessness Of local success and Of our hay-
ing some local candidates f5isted upon US who
we're enough TO turn the stomach Of . horse''
Wonder if Tammany, as bad, as
very bad as Greeley makes it out to
be, does worse than this? However
nauseous its tickets may be we never
heard it charged that they made one
nasty enough to make horse sick
And it is singular enough that Gree
ley and party, who snuff and sicken
from afar at the Tammany corruption,
could take down local candidates
"who were enough to turn the stom-
aeh OF horse" without any visible
emotion. But hear him again
eve had TO bear up against the fact that the
Ismmany Ring has bought and owns a number
OF our most active and prominent Republican
managers, who will not leave us because thew
can better earn their wages by sticking to us and
obstreperOusly howling 4No Surrender - "No
bargains y keep the flag fyingw "a clean
If it's corrupt in Tammany to buy,
surely is it not, at least equally SO, in
Republicans, to be bought? But the
Ring, not content with small fry, buys
and 0ac7as the Etmost active and promi-
nent Republican" who earn their wa
ges 'sby sticking to u" and fighting
INIT Seigel." This is a very melan-
choly picture of New York politics
and we think it is more melancholy
for the Republicans than it is for the
Democrats, simply because the buyer
Is not SO mean a character as the
bought. And there is no prospect Of
this state of things ceasing until eth
er Iammany becomes bankrupt or the
guileless Republicans of New York
are all bought. And the latter is more
apt to happen than the former.
But hear the philosopher mention
the last Republican Legislature and
then tell us whether the New York
Republicans have not their share
OF graceless scamps and scoundrels.
On the contrary the Aat refusal to non;nata
distinctly on the assumption that they were
thieves, nine-tenths of the corrupt rascals who
disgrsced us at Albany last Winter, naturally cost
us good many votes"

THE RADICAL sCAPEGOAT.

The Orego1aia,a says that cit is be-
ieved that the Government has been
swindled to the full amount of one
million dollars by these operations.
The discovery of these frauds is an
other evidence of the scandalous cor
ruption of Johnson's administration.
Other Custom House yillainy involv-
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars,
has also been unearthed at New Or
leans. It was a fortunate thing for
the country to get rid of Johnson as
soon as it did otherwise his fayorites
would have stolen it all. +"
This is the way that the Oregopia1,
discourses of the recent scandalous
New York and New Orleans Custom
House frauds. We suppose that all
of the villainies of rascally Office
holders henceforth will be laid at the
door of johnson. And to realize the
cIseekiness of the thing it is only neces-
sary to remember that Radical Con-
gress by its tenure of Office act SO eff
fectually tied Mr.. Johnson's hands
that he could neither remove nor APP
point, not even a Country Postmaster.
That very act of Congress gave immu-
nifty to the rascals, who, secure in
their places, plundered the public in
the most audacious and wholesale
manner.

THE OREGON sENATORSHIP
AND INDIAN AGENCIES.

At the commencement Of the pres
ent Radical Administration, great
promises We're made by it's adherents
of the wonderful economy that would
be introduced in the different depart
ments OF the government, and more
especially that of the Indian service.
Grant it was stated had been on the
frontier in early life, knew all about
the management of Indian affairs and
intends TO have an entire revolution in
the way things were conducted. There
was to be no more dishonest agents or
thieving contractors.
BY the reduction ofthe army, a large
number OF army officers were placed
on waiting orders" From this class
were to be selected the Superintend-
ents OF Indian affairs and agents. With
the exception of few Quaker agents,
who were appointed to try the peace
full experiment, all the civilians in the
different agencies were thus relieved
by military officers.
General Mcintosh was made Super
intendent in California, and Major
Douglass in Oregon, and certain cap
tains and ieutenants detailed to take
charge of the various reservations.
Now, it SO happens that Meacham, the
Oregon Superintendent, did not fancy
giving up his fat Office, and the agents
fully concured with him in like re-
grets; so, when senator Williams re-
turned he was waited on by this self
constituted deputation, and talked to
very plainly. Meacham, as spokes-
man, informed him that his (Williams')
reelection as Senator depended upon
his (Meacham's) retention as Superin-
tendent and the other civil agents.
The members of the Legislature elect
ed this year would determine who was
to be the next Senator. Siletz and
Yamhill Indian reservations, were in
Benton and Polk counties, and in both
of these counties the contest would be
very close--a few votes thrown either
one side or the other would settle the
matter. If he Ind not influence
enough at Washington to keep the
civil Superintendent and agents in
their places, he was not fit to be Sen
ator, and not only could not expect
them to help him, but might count on
their exertions against him. In other
words, "If you do not keep us in, we
viii turn you out" Williams was
frightened and gave way to their de-
mands. He sent telegraph after tele-
graph to Washington, but received no
satisfactory replies. and at last, in
sheer desperation, hurried back to
Washington, stated the case to the
President, and plead earnestly as q
personal favor to himself, to grant the
request, which, after some hesitation,
was done. This is the secret of Will
liams' recent trip Eastward.
1t is a bitter satire even on Radical
ism that Senatorship is expected to
be purchased by the appointment OF
an Indian Superintendent and two
agents. Major Douglass and the 9th
er officers in Oregon detailed for this
duty, were ordered to their Eastern
homes on the statement of the civil
ians, and passed through this city d
short time since r. Erumiaer.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 2j.-The Re.
publican State Convention adopted an
address TO Congress, setting forth that
the recent election in Virginia was Con.
fcderate triumph achieved by intimida-
tion and fraud; that the true secret OF
the Republican defeat was submission to
separate vote, the test oath and disfran-
CHS NJ clauses; that the Convention has
confidence in the Republicanism of the
President and majority in Congress, who
have been deceived with regard to the
true state Of affairs in Virginia that the
present Legislature is disloyal and ille-
gal body, and even if it ra,ifcs the Fif
teenth Amendment, it will enact such
educational aud property qualifications as
TO entirely destroyed the influences of col
ored suffrage, aud prevent colorcd voters
from holding Office and serving as jurors.
1t asks Congress TO order new election,
with constitution submitted as a whole,
and send military force sufficient to pro-
tect the Republicans in their rights; 10
require the test oath from members of the
Legislature; to vacate the seats Of mem
bers unable to take the oath, ard give
them to eligible opponents who received
the next highest vote. This report is
signed by 6 out of 8 members Of the
Committee appointed to prepare it.
