RECONSTRUCTED. - The kinSwood
Journal, which had its Office destroyed
by fire many months ago, is on Its legs
again, and tirmer than ever. Since
that time it has made its appearance
pretty regularly but in a very diminu-
tive form. Now it comes to us again,
somewhat enlarged over its former size,
printed in new type, and looking fresh
and handsome. We are gratified to see
this evidence of energy and enterprise
on the part OF the proprietor and trust
the live people of Preston will be
prompt to second his endeavors to
maintain II live county paper.
THERE seems to be some doubt about
Marshal Sharpe, the Presidents broth
er-in-law. being offered the United
States SeuatOrship of Virginia, by the
Walker party. Mr.. Sharpe's friends
assert that he went to Richmond to vote
Tor Governor Wells, and it would be an
act of extraordinary magnanimity on
the part of his political opponents to
confer the SenatorshiP upon him. 1t
WAS understood among the Wells party
that If they carried the Legislature, the
Senators were to be Marshal Sharpe
and l.. II. Chandler, the ex District At
torney for Eastern Virginia.

FINALLY DETERMINED.-From the Salem
(Oregon) Press. of Feb. Doth, we learn that the
Supreme Court of the United States has finally
decided the large and very valuable land claim
in Salem, in suit for about fifteen years, be-
tween J. B. McClane and John d. Boon, and
given the claim to McClane The case has al
ways been really a very plain one, but during
the war, Bench composed of Radicals, with
o siuge honorable exception, of the Supreme
Court of Oregon, gave decision in favor of
Boon, for no better reason than that McClane
was a rebel synpathiser He has justice dealt
out to him at last by the highest judicial tri-
bunal i'm the land.

AN IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-ln the case OF
John L. Thirl, convicted in the I. ) District
Court, Judgr Hoffman presiding, in San Fran
cisco. of having forged certificates of naiurah-
cation, most important point was raised by
Th;cl's counsel, Calhoun Brnham and j. IL.
Hardy. Esqs II was that the certificates
which were forged were not lawfully executed,
and hence Ia copy them was no crime. Alter
several DAYS consideration of the points raised
by the counsel, Judge Hoffman decided that
such was the fact, and accordingly ordered the
discharge of the prisoner. The San Francisco
papers say that the decision will affect all per-
sons who have been naturalIzcd IN the I. ).
Courts in that city since 1861, as the Clerks OF
the Courts have, ever since then, executed
papers similar TO those on which Thcfs case
rested, aud Judge Ioflman's decision declares
these papers to be- void and OF no effect. Con,
seuueutly, those naturalized in these Courts
are un-naturalzcd, and will be obliged to pro-
cure the genuine naturalization papers before
they can vote,

THE DEAR MAN The Rev T. Dillon Ea-
gan, Pastor of sort of Ritualistic Church in
San Francisco, has lately come sorely to grief:
The dear man is charged with having caused
basis for such scandal among the female por-
ton of his flock that one father has found it
necessary to send his daughter into retirement
to avoid exposure of her shame, and one hus-
band has sent his wife East to cut off her con-
nection with the pastor. Besides all this, Ea-
gan managed to have new Church, built ex-
pressly for him, decided to himself, and the Yes
try had to proceed to law to recover the very
valuable property he had thus gobbled from
the congregation. Dillon won't do Fortu'
nately the sanctimonious rogue was exposed
in all this villainy just in time to save :" young
lady Of great responsibility and wealth" from
becoming his wife. They were to be married
jn few days. She also came to the conclu.
fiop that Dillon won't do to tie to.

badly beaten in the election by Cleaver The

that if L. J. Butler should contest the election

would admit Butler. And the rogues who do
such things have an 4" Hon" prefixed to their

WILLIAMS BHL.-A private letter to the
Orcgonian. from Washington, says:
Senator Williams has introduced bill to
regulate elections in the Territories of Wash
ington and Idaho, which provides that elections
in those Territories for Delegates to the House
of Representatives. of the Forty-second Con.
grrss shall BE- held on the first Monday of June,
1870, and afterwards blrnnially; and that such
officers in said Territories IA are now elected
the same time with their Delegates, shall be-
elected for the offices thereafter to be filled at
the times above specified, unless otherwise
rovided by the laws of the Territories
This is not the worst of the two bills which
Williams has introduced in relation to Idaho.
The other sweeps away all the Sherilis, and
nearly every county officer, to make room for

STERLING. JUST ONCE MORE.

We had determined to cease to devote much
space TO Treasurer Sterling in our columns
knit the fellow obtained the use of the lead
;no col,,mn in the Statesman of last Saturday,
in a very futile effort at his own vindlcatioh
from the charges we have uttered against him,
and we shall give that article brief attention.
Its strong point is, that while we stated the
experts Yates and Armstrong never made re-
mort Of any examination of the condition OF
Sterline's books to the Legislative Committee
they two did join in making report, and Mr.
E. w. Bell, who says he was member OF the
comm;ttce makes statement to the same
purpose. To all this we make ready answer,
and upon authority, let US add, that the CHAIR
men of the Council Committee and OF the
House Committee respectively. state positively
that no such report was ever accepted ny the
Investigating Committee. But say we accept
the report. and it proves nothing. twill serve

Their say, let him show all his books and papers
and they wiH shoe that he is rascal. In this
last effort at his own yindicatiOn Sterling has
shown two things very palpably first, that
like donkey in the qncksand, the harder he
abors to extricate himself the more inextrlca-
blv he becomes involved; and second, that his
boosted disregard of our charges and proofs
against HIM is all bosh,-that he is stung to the
quick. and most restless under them, because
he knows they are true in every essential lea
ture And, We will just AIDA word or two Tor

upon the recent decision nf the L. S. Supreme
Court declaring contracts to pay IN coin must

The Supreme Court have really done NOR"
in a single day To restore substantial currcn-
cy to the country than all the legislators whu
have been tinkrring ut it have accomplished
during the four years since the war.
1t may be added, the Court has done more
by this very decision, also, to break up and de-.
stroy that ncanest Of all dshonorabIc shirk-

in coin, with greenbacks, BY which SO many
