CALICO PARrr.-The managers and others in.

Bank Exchange Hall on the 18th, promise their
friends rare evenings enjoyment. As the I'll
tie of the party indicates, we presume the quail.
ity Of dresses worn on the occasion, by the la
dies will be calico. This will afford an excellent
opportunity for display of beauty, for who does
not think that beauty 10 a ballroom, as well as
in a kitchen, is most adorned when unadorned
by costly fabrics, low necks and short sleeves ?

A REBEL PRoMoTED.-By reference to
the telegraphic dispatches it will be seen that
Long'treet has been confirmed, and is to hold
good fat Office, to the exclusion Of one Of
the " trooly loil." If johnson had appoint
ed rebel to Office the country would never
have heard the last of it, but when Grant
goes out of his party to promote gallant
soldier aud ex.rebel, angobstqu Senate
rat6es the appointment. What will the
rampant radicals of the Cox order, who have
been shouting rebel p /" rebel p for the
past eight years, say to the appointment of a
leading rebel to a lucrative Federal Office ?
We fear that Grant has committed the un>
pardonable sin.

AIDING THE CUBANs.-A large force of
Americans, mostly men who served through
the late war, have gone to Cuba for the pur,
pose Of aiding the revolutionists in that isis
and IN overthrowing the rule of Spain. This
force is under command of Gen. Thos. Jor-
dan an officer who figured prominently in
the rebel service, and who is known to be on
unusually pleasant terms with Gen. Grant.
Jordan's invasion Of Cuba is supposed to
have the full appreciation Of our Governs
ment, and after the Spaniards are driven
on. the next thing will be to arrange for the
annexation of the Island 10 the United
States. Gen. Jordan will be recollected as
former Quartermaster at Fort Dalles. and hi,

LAND MATrERs.-A letter from Joseph
s. Wilson, Commissioner Of the General
Land Ofice, states, in response to an appli.
cation made by H. Parker, of Walla Walla,
that the instructions to the Laud Offices at
La Grande and Vancouver hare been 90
modified as to render it unnecessary for the
witnesses in proof Of settlement to make their
personal appearance before the Register aud
Receiver. Dispositions made before an officer
authorized to administer oaths is all that will
be required in future. This arrangement
will prove great saving to persons having
lsnds to enter, and at the same time there
will be ample protection against fraud.

DENooRArIc.-The political caldron has cons
neueed boiling thoroughly There is good deal
OF feeling and anxiety manifested in = quiet way
BY the unterri6ed democracy. Judge McFadden
aud Governor N. 2. Moore are the principal
candidates on the Sound, The latter would be
the strongest man, were il not for his record
during the rebellion, which is odiouS in the
eyes Of the pure, uuadulterated Cops. Frank
Clark has entirely collapsed and is not spoken
Of asa probable candidate, Judge Lancaster,
the sage from Lewis River bottom, will undoubt>
edly turn up as usual at the nominating Conven-
tion, and will perhaps, carry Pacific and Cow
litz counties, but that is all. At Walla Wslla
there is a good deal of strife among q host Of
Aspirauts. Mr.. Newell, of the St1tesmGn, heads
the list. He is decidedly the best speaker in the
democratic ranks, and stands fair with the party
throughout the Territory. Next comes Judge
Mix, a pleasant, afsble gentleman and fair
lawyer, but not sound politically. Then there is
Dugan, Lassater, and divers one-horses candil
dates 1t seems improbable that Walla WAla
democrat can get the nomination on account of
the enVious contentious existing among demo,
Gratis in that County. As an outsider, we nomi,
nate Jay D. Potter, Esq, of this town, as
democratic candidate for Congress. He has
fair abilities as lawyer and has done faithful
service in the ranks Of the party without any
political reward. In the event Of the election
Of democrat to Congress from this Territory
which, however 10 very improbable, we should
decidedly prefer the election of Mr.. Potter

BUTLER GOING TO SPAIN-Itis is announo-
ed that Butler will be nominated Minister to
Spain. If SO, international courtesy and
good faith demand that Spain be advised of
the fact few months in advance, that her
people may have time to remove their silver
ware aud other valuables to places of safety.
Should the new Minister, says the Stockton
Gazette, pouuce down upon them suddenly,
there would pot be a teaspoon left in Madrid,
in tWenty>four hours, nor in the kingdom in
a week. Let the Spaniards have notice of
his coming.

SINCE the reception of the news Of the
confirmation by the Senate of ex-rebel Gem
eral Longstrset as Collector of Customs at
New Orleans, we have heard radicals mag-
unanimously express the opinion that it is
time concessions were bing made to the peo-
pie Of the South BY placing them upon an
equality with the "loilists" Of the north. If
the radical leaders in Congress should
"break" with Grant as they did with J9hn-
son, how long would it be before these fell
lows would be branding their President as
traitor and re'assertiDg their late doctrine
that the people of the South have no rights
that "w we" are bound to respect7 Look ont
for your records, gentlemen, for We distinctly
remember that every mothers son of you
(before Stevens, Sumner, Stanton, ct. al.
told you that you raus'H'0 proposed to be
just a. msguanipous as you are now.

THE TENURE OF OFFICE BILL has been
virtually repealed, and a substitute adopted
which gives the President full authority to
make removals-the appointments only be-
ing subject to the approval of the Senate
The radical majority in the Senate struggled
hard to retain the power given that body BY
the tenure of Office bill, but the opposition
of the President and House was toe strong,
and the Senate was obliged to yield. Thus
passes awsythe law for the disregard of
which President johnson narrowly escaped
impeachment.

RADICAL RULE.-one Of the beauties Of
radical rule Is exhibited in the tax on pig
iron. Under the influence of an almost pro-
bibitory tariff, the iron men enjoy high
degree of prosperity, and furnaces continue
to multiply, but the community at large-the
cOnsumers-are compelled to pay an unnec.
essary profit to the manufacturers of from 81
to $40 per ton which on the entire annual
product, estimated at l 500, 900 tons, amounts
to from $4,000, 900 to sl5,OOO,OOO. This
is what the prosperity of the pig iron manu-
faeturers Of Pennsylvania cost the country,
and We have here the explanation for the
unanimity with which that class of persons
supported the radical ticket at the late elec.
ton. The whole idea of radical rule is to
legislste 10 favor of the rich man at the ex<
pense of the poorer classes, and carrying out
this principle we have gold for the bOndhol-
der and paper money for the plowholder. So,
too, in adjusting the tariff all the regulations
ere in favor of the rich manufacturer and ad.
verse to the poor consumer. This is the
testimony of David A. Wells, the special
Revenue Gq@%ssOpsS Al Ar tS AHAaE6d A%aEahdstih h1

WASHINGTON ITEMs.-A private letter
from Washington, dated March goth, has the
following items: The name Of E. G. Ross,

SIMEON WALTERS, the murderer Of L.
J. Bacon is to be hung at Boise City on the
18th of May. The evidence against Walters
Is altogether circumstantial, but so we'll cou>
nccted as to render bis guilt absolutely Ger"
tain. The object of the murder was to OBJ
toin possession Of an uninproved rancho, Of
little value. Walters is described as young
man of rather prepossessing appearance, aud
throughout the whole of the trial, which
lasted four days, he maintained wonderful
composure. The only time he gave any ev>
idence of weakening was when sentence Of
death was passed

THIEVES IN OFFIcE.-JenIkes, Of Rhode
Island, in a speech in the Hose Of Repre-
sentatiVes made this declaration: al hope
that every voter viii remembr that out Of
every four dollars raised in tIxes one dollar
goes to thieves" Jenckes is shining light
in the radical camp and hencs may be pre-
sumed TO know whereof he speaks. Apply
ing this rule to Washington Territory, We
find that the sum of 10000 per annum is
collected of our tax payers iu the shape OF
internal revenue, and Of this sam one-fourth,
or e20, 900, is stolen by the collectors, and
this, too, in addition to being paid liberal
salaries for their services. With this ex>
plAuatioE of the radical Congressman We can
understand how it is that the radicals can
always raise plenty of money for campaign
purposes Halt the stsalings in the Revenue
Collectors department for single year will
pay all the expenses of delegate election.

ton the money wrung from the people in che

ANDREW JoHEsoN.-The reported death
of Andrew johnson turns out to be q mis-
take. On his arrival at GreenVille, Tennes>
see he had a stroke of paralysis, and for a
day or two it was feared that death would
follow. At last accounts he had fully re.
covered his health, and was preparing to
canvGsS..Tennessee in opposition to the radi,
Gals. He will run as the democratic candi-
date for Governor, and is confident that he
can carry the State in opposition to Brown
low and his thieving followers The democ.
rscy of Tennessee look to Andrew johnson
as the only man who can lead them to GER
tain victory. Since bis return to the State
they have taken new hope aud now conf
deU,ly look forward to the overthrow Of the
earpet'baggers and general rout Of radi
caism. Andrew johnson never yet has been
defeated in an appeal to the people of bis
State, and hence the confidence felt in the
success Of his present movement. Should
he succeed in carrying the State, part of his
programme is to take the place of Fowler in
the U. S. Senate, when warm times may be
expected in the Senatorial menageriS.

THE RADICAL NoMINATioN.-Letters re-
ceivcd from the Sound, as we'll as Clarke
county, leave no room to doubt that Gar
Geld will receive the radical nomination at
the Claquato convention. Nearly all the
counties on the Sound have instructed for
him, and the counties on the lower river are
understood to favor his nomination. Clarke
county gives him her four votes, thus secur-
ing his nomination by large majority. Up
on full review of the field, the conclusion
at which we arrive is that Dr. Baker will
have to continue in the business of "shaving
notes and "taxing peddlers" for few years
longer. After Garfelde has run his course,
possibly there will be chance for our old
friend
