Our New President.

Tho self suficiency of the radical
party is strikingly manifest at every
step. The leaders of that party pirate
cloquently of virtue, intelligence, in
tegrity and progress. They assume
that all the responsibility, talent,
wealth, education and craftsmanship
are to be found in the abolition ranks.
This may be true, but If 50, the man
~ifestations are singularly, at ~varience
with their high pretensions. For
eight years that party has been loud
in its cries and demands for economy,
integrity and incorruptibility in Office.
During those long and weary years
the very men who were shouting most
Justify for honesty had their hands
deeply in the Treasury and were cram.
ming their pockets with the peoples
money They have literally stolen
every dollar in the Treasury and left
the the country bankrupt. After ap-
propriating millions of acres of the
public lands for the benefit Of gigantic
and bloated corporations they turn
about like a street harlot and shout
for virtue They viii not appropri-
ate any more of the public lands
they will not steal any more Of the
peoples money! The vhtuous Uly.

Warm Springs Correspondence.

Little Injun again appears. Again is
he happy! He has been turned over to
the military, and being military, he i'm
mediateIy orders ochoco to the front.
Ochoco still exists, but not as it once
existed The mornings sun used to rise
bright and clear, but not a soul was
there to view its loneliness. 1t arose to
midday spendor No fields Of waving
grain was there to be killed by the heat.
1t sunk and its last rays fell on herds of
dee-, and there was no one.to hunt them.
And now the hunters are many and the
deer are few-why is this thusly? Dur
ing this season Eastern Oregon has been
visited by very severe dGouth crops.
therefore. have been poor. Ochoco has
has not raised enough to supply the homo
demand; yet Ochoco stands not alone,
for throughout the country this is more
or less the case. Especially has the
Agency suffered. AS an instance, the
Department had sown last spring about
fifty acres in wheat, and the yield was
seventy five bushels.
| understand that all, or nearly all of
the vacant land has been settled, and
that in Ochoco proper they have large
school, and also two blacksmith shops,
and one store, at which the pure Demo
cratic platform can be obtained. There
is about three thousand head of cattle,
also, in Ochoco valley, about four hund-
red head of horses, and great many
sheep. Some of the more enterprising
citizens are engaged working "a wagon
road to the Ualles. \ mail route will
doubtless be established from the Dalles,
ria this Agency, to Ochoco, sometime
during the coming winter. This, if
done, will be of great benefit to the resi-
dents of the county generally. The In
dians are also engaged in working road
from this Agency to Ochoco, hoping
thereby to secure market for their
surplus produce They also nope to fur
nish lumber, &c, to the settlers of
Ochoco. The enterprise on the part Of
the Indians is commendable, and it is
hoped that they will be suitably rewarded
for their trouble, and that they will thus
be encouraged to renewed exertlon, and
assisted on the path of civilized life.
This Agency was transferred to Capt
w. W. Mitchell, Y. S. A., on the first
day of August last. The Captain has
entered upon the duties of his office,
fully comprehending its arduousness, and
will doubtless do as much toward ad-
vancing the Indian in civilization as any
one person could do.
Capt Smith, after being relieved, pro-
ceeded with his family to the new settle
ment at Willow, at which point he pro-
poses to spend the ensuing winter.
| doubt whether aDother Indian Agent
could be found who has given such entire
satisfaction to his superiors in office, the
Indians under mis- charge, and the whites
with whom he has become acquainted, as

EAST OF THE MoUNTAINs.-Mr. r.
s. Belknap has just returned from pro-
longed prospecting and exploring trip
east of the mountains. He reports many
interesting facts relative to the size, fer
tility and future importance of several
fine valleys, including Sprague's river
Goose Lake, and numerous other smaller
valleys, all capable of sustaining large
population. He also reports the route
proposed for the branch railroad to this
valley from the Central Pacific, as trav-
srsing q beautiful country, through
rasses Of easy grade, and making, in his
opinion, the best mountain route ever
surveyed for the same distance. La
Lake, chief of the Klamath Indians, had
quite lengthy aco-aoa with Mr.. b., and,
presuming upon his early acquaintance,
became quite confidential, and glumbled
very much because the Superintendent
of Indian Affairs had not yet distributed
the ahnuities promised them more than a
year ago He intimated, rather savage
IL, that if the Indian Department did
not adhere more strictly to the condi-
tions of the treaty, the tomahawk would
be unearthed, and the inuumerable
tribes of noble red men on our borders
would, with one fell swoop, exterminate
the last Boston.

THE ADDREss.-The address was de-

and was attentiyely listened to by large
audience. It is unnecessary for us to
say that it was an excellent production,
and replcte with interesting facts, which
should be spread before the people. The
Society should Immediately order the
Agricultural Address printed, and circu-
late copies freely throughout the county
and State. They owe this to the gentle.

SERIOUS AcCIDENT.-Late last eve-

exercising his horse on the race track,
when the animal reared and fell back

were Immediately sent for, and late last
evening were still working with him.
Whether the man is wounded unto
death, or whether his damages are
more painful than dangerous, we could
not learn last night.

The Condition of Napoleon.

With regard to the actual condition of the
Emperor, have reason to know that the fears
which led to the last panic-the second with.
in fortnight-are wholly without founda-
tion. His Majesty is slowly but gradually i'm
proving, but, like all invalids that have enter
ed upon period OF confirmed valetudinarian-
ism, the result of incessant mental labor, and ,
it must also be said OF physical excesses. he
has his DAYS of comfortable sensations and
partial relapse. He will overcome to great
degree the suffering under which he is now
laboring, but he will always be liable to a re-
turn of them whenever he commits any i'm
prudence in diet or in over exercise, whether
of the body or the mind. This is the opinion
of DR.. Nelaton, as expressed within the last
twentv-tour hours to a medical friend of his
with whom am acquainted. DIR. Ricord, l
believe, fully agrees with him in it.
The conclusion to be drawn from the treat
ment prescribed by these gentlemen is that
there is nothing critical or alarming IN the
malady or ma'adies flor there is n complica-
tion of them) under which the patient is SUI
tering. He may live years in greatly ame-
holated condition, but 1t is also true that by
any marked deviation from the regime that IS
prescribed for him he might bring on sud-
den and perhaps fatal crisis. The conviction
OF this fact has no doubt had great deal to
do with the promptness with which he re-
organized and acted upon the warning given
him ae the last elections. He at once prepar-
ell to 'set his house in ORDER" and if the SEN
atus Consutum has not accomplished all
that is necessary to complete the task, there
is but little doubt from the declarations of NJ
Magne that he will continue TO apply himself
resolutely to it, and that be will leave mis- son
constitutional heritage designed to insure
| the perpetuatlon of his dynasty.-Paris Cor
