And here il what Senator Trnmbull
said, and his remarks, whether intend
ed or not, cut both ways, like o two-
edged sword:
..when wc arc declaring that tho iiotlchlots

among whose population arc to ho found tho most
learned and eminent scholars in tho world, shall
be excluded"
And following this remarkable dis
cussion vote was taken, when every
radical in the Senate, Corbett excepted,
voted against tho Amendment.
We ask Senator Williams, rs rep-
resentative of Oregon, and candi-
dete, if he subscribes to the sentiments
expressed by these men, quoted in
that debate? And il not, why he
voted with themp There is no "mis-
apprehension" or misconception about
this matter. The Radical party is de-
termined to force tho Cinnamon upon
the white people of this country just
as it has and is forcing the negro upon
them, and the denials of Judge Will
Hams and of his radical party friends
are just as insincere and dishonest now
in respect of this matter az they were
year ago in respect of the other.

4 RESOLVE, WITH 4 REASON.

The recently elected Governor of
Tennessee, Sentef, and President
Grant have been interviewing. -
The question Of convuhing the old
Legislature of Tofnessee to ratify the
18th amendment, for fear that the new
Legislature would not do it, having
been earnestly pressed by tho Radi-
cdls, tho interview was upon that sub
iect. Senter was emphatic In the
opinion that the new Legislature will
ratify and he finally got Mr.. Grant to
believe the same thing, whereupon
they concluded that the convening of
the old Legislature would be illegal
and that it had better not be DONE
This method of arriving at conclusions
of law is novel and striking-because
the new Legislature will ratify. there
fore the calling of tho old is illegal
How plain tale this tells. II the
new assembly would not ratify then
the convening. of the old one would
have been deemed legal and proper
In this incident the motive and princi-
pies of the dominant party are plainly
shown. A long list of public evils
have been generated by our great en-
lamity. Law has became weak in
strmnent TO be used in the interests Of
party or altogether ignored. Party
expediency il above all enactments. -
This wanton and shameless profigacy
don't stop with the bad examples of n
few men in authority but it spreads
with the Unsuitable fury of tempest
over the whole country and eliminates

gems 10 evade the revenue laws, nc

THE VICTORY AND TTs MORAL.

The election in California resulted
in the expected Democratic victory by
an unexpected majority.
In all of the counties heard from the
maiorites are fully up to those Of
Haight over Gorham ia 1867, except
that of San Franoiso, where through
disaffection that eliminated in a split,
the majorities of Assemblymen were
5000 instead of the 4200 that Gov.
Haight received, and a Democrat who
accepted the nomination on the indie
pendent ticket is probably elected
Mayor by 100 majority. In Placer
county where Gorham had over
30 majority the Democrats have elected
q Senator and possibly the Sheriff. In
Marin county where Gorham had a
small majority the Democrats are be-
heved, according to the Appeal (Radi-
cai) to have elected their Assembly
men, County Clerk, Treasurer and AS
SCISSOR. This shows how sandy foun-.
dation the Presidential vote of last
fall is upon which to base calculations
fol the present. We append table
of the maiorities in the vote for Presi-
dent last fall and the election just
transpired, in the few counties heard
from. The Legislative majority is the
one used.

ERABLY SCATTERED.

For a wonder, the President has
visited Washington. We know this
because the dispatches of Sept 1st say
that he left on the night of that day
for Saratoga. He Las been at the
Capitol long enough to be able to take
fresh leave of it For considera-
bic length of time there has
been neither President nor Cabinet
officer at Washington, excepting Sec
retary Rawlins who was too sick tc
get away During this time all of the
Weighty matters of the government
have been IN the hands of clerks anf
subordinates, and those to whom tb,
people look for the conduct of affair,
are drinking, driving and dancing will
the crowd of fashionable idlers tha
lounge at places of summer resort.
Wendell Phillips petulantly asks
"Now, what has this idle, cigar-smok
ing, horse-jockey of President ac
complishfd during the brief fv,
months that he has had such contro
OF the government as Congress accord
ed to him."
The 1tew York Times seriously sayl
that among the people the inquiry a
length comes to this Is the Presi
dent neglecting their interests or hi,
au'y Another New York papel
humorously declares that Hunde, tbt
exstln8 administration, not eternal
vigilance Is the price of liberty and
good government, but eternal idling
at places OF fashionable resort" We
can now realize the full significance Of

Tx 0rego"ia,, is still absurdly de-
claring tho: the 18th Amendment is
certain to be adopted right away,
therefore Oregon will not be needed
TO secure its adoption, therefore the
people of Oregon shouldn't trouble
themselves to think about the Amend
ment.
Now that is all boshl In the first
place the Amendment is not adopted
and it is BY no means certain that it
will be. And, whether adopted or not,
every man in Oregon knows, who
knows anything, that our next Legis-
lasure will adopt or reject the Amend
ment for itself, whether such adoption
or rejection makes it part of the Con-
stitution Of the United States or not.
What would be thought of a man who
refuses to vote for his choice Of candi-
date or vote against him merely be-
cause there is a-strong probability that
he will not be elected?

WoULD'NT HAVE Ir.-The Oregonian
speaks of the California election in this

WOULD MT Have lT.-The Oy'egonian
speaks of the California election in this
way:
There was nothing impending which was deem
ed worth making struggle for. No Senator is to
be chosen, and ms it is universally conceded that
the fifteenth amendment will be ratified without
tho vote Of California, the Republicans care little
about securing tho Legislature.
To be sure it does not require q
philosopher to affect contempt for that
which is beyond his reach, although
to do so is conceded to be of question
able taste. The allusion to the 18th
Amendment is good. They wouldn't
have California ratify the amendment,
although they'll move heaven and
earth to get Tennessee and Virginia to
do SO. The allusion to the Senator is
very good, when we remember that
twenty of the men elected at this time
will participate in the Senatorial cleo
ton.

This Is the result so far as it can be
obtained. One fact is significant: In
every county heard from the Demo
Gratis have elected the whole or q part
of their ticket. And this includes
some of the strongest Republican
counties. OF these ten counties, nine
elect the Democratic ticket, FIVE by
stated majorities and one elects q
Democratic Senator against a majority
of 755 for Grant and 50 for Gorham.
Six of these counties went for Grant,
some of them by large majorities, and
IN every case where majority is stated
1t is an increase on that Of Haight.
excepting San Francisco and Siski-
you counties. Nearly all of the
counties remaining to be heard from
gave decided Democratic maiorities In
the last State election. There are %
Senatorial districts IN the State. Nine
of these have been heard from and
elect Democrats. OF those remaining
to be heard from there are only three
that are at all likely to elect Republi-
cans. These II Democratic Senator's
elected at this time viii hold over and
vote for Coles successor securing to
the Democracy a large per cent. in the
contest for the Legislature two years
hence.
The Democracy have achieved a
splendid victory In California and ii
will not be lost upon Oregon. The
Presidential vote is not a better index
of the status of parties in Oregon than
in California. This State will just al
certainly repeat her majority of thu
State election of 1868 as California
repeated hers of 1867.

was 327 feet below the surface. The
flame rushed up the shaft and comuni-

these falling into the shaft filed it
with burning timber and debris, and
cut off oil communication and prevent
