"How We APPLES sw1M."-A stray
copy of the Concord (N. Ed Statesman has
come in our way, and in t we fnd COM
municatiOn from Philip litz, 10 which the
little fellow splurges as uual. Philip has
played very old dodge With tolerable sue,
cess; at home he REPRESENTS himself as a
very 'great man" in the states, and when
at the East he talks of his g immense infu-
ence in Washington TerItoryp In this
way he has managed to attain considerable
notoriety which he mistakes for reputation.
The result of all this has Ieen to make the
little fellow insuferably win, and like the
jackdaW he struts in borrowed plumage,
greatly to the amusement # those who know
that he is only little las green than the
vegetables he used to petdle. AS speci-
men of Philips modest q style we give
place to his communication as it appeared in
the New Hampshire paper:
Editor Statesman Inreply to Mr.. Bart
lett's communication about the "wid goose
wheat" publised by you February 10Th,

it would make nice -four. What 1 intended
to say, and what know of the grain, is this
That the first We ever knew of the grain was
about twelve years ago, when three grains
were taken from the crop of wild goose
shot in Linn county, Oregon and from that
have been raised more than 100, 900 bushels
in Oregon, Washington and Idaho 1 have
known seventy-6ve bushels raised to the
acre in Walla Walla. And Mr.. Whitson,

me the sample brought east assured me
that he raised last summer 1000 bushels

edly an enormous yield; but whether there
were 100 bushels 10 this case or not, 1 would
not like to say positively. What 1 would
say about this grain is that it makes nice
rich meal, somewhat like rye very nutritious
and sweet. And in Idaho they are raising
large quantities of it to make whisky of
having tried it at Boise City last summer
and it proved excellent for that purpose
We always SOW it in the spring, though 10 oul
mild climate on the Pacific it succeeds if sowu
in the fall. My friends in Pennsylvania think
it may prove valuable for feed instead ol
oats or barley, and will sow some in the
spring to test it. When l came to Wash
ington took sample of it to the Agricul'
tural Department to class it. After looking
carefully with Col. Capron over five hundred
different lots of grain, from all parts Of the
world, we found one small vial, labeled wheat
from Cuanna, Greece, the only thing thai
looked at all like it. Col. Capron and Prof
Glover assured me that they had never sent
out grain of such wheat. In jGstiee tc
MIR. Cheney aud myself, [ wish you would
publish the above. Yours truly,

NEPoTIsM.-The Olympia Tribune has a
column article in which President Grant is
roundly abused on the score Of appointments
According to our radical contemporary Grant
devotes his time principally to the appoint
ment of his relatives to Office, and these are
farmed out on the Government without any
regard whatever to the interests of the rad,
ical party. His appointment of his brothers,
uncles, cousins, and more distant relatives to
Office, is characterized as nepotism in its
worst form, and the prediction is ventured
that if this sort of thing is kept up the Gre.
publican party will never elect another Pres'
ident" So it seems that radical patriotism
means possession of the Offices, and if these
are not divided around right, then there is
to be bust up. All we~haTe to say, is
let her bust

NEGRO RULE.-The negro voters in Wash
ington city, who clubbed, cut and killed
white citizens for voting against them, sub
sequently held a meeting, at which they
Indignantly and promptly voted down resO-
lutiOns deprecatory of violence at the polls,
and expressive of the right of all citizens to
vote as they please; and finally wound up
by the significant and brutal intimatiou that
they trusted that circumstances would not
again arise to make it necessary for them to
murder men who Obstiuately persist in vot-
ing for opposition candidates.

RADICAL LoaIo.-Senator Morton, of
Indiana, has prepared an elaborate argument
to show that quorum consists of the Con.
stitutional proportion of the members pres
ent. Thus, In Indiana, two,thirds are nes
cessary to constitute quorum, or 67 10 the
House of 100 members. Mr.. Morton con.
tends that if only 54 members were present,
as was the fact when the farce of ratifying
the 18th Amendment was enacted, two. thirds
of that number may transact business with
legal effect. The indianapolis Sentinel very
properly inquiries If 81 members were absent
whether the three remaining would be a
constitutional legislative body. This is an.
other example of those wanton perversions
of laws and constitutions to the purposes of
party which have SO nearly obliterated all
respect for them, that we are really living
without any; for they are never regarded
unless when entirely agreeable and conven>
lent.

ANOTHER KU,KLUX OUTRAGE.-The
following item of telegraphc news which we
find under date of St. Louis, June 14th,
will probably afford some of our loyal pat
riots another opportunity to raise their ia
Vorite howl of kuSklux outrages by the Gum
reconstructed" rebels Of the South: "Jesse
d. Ward, the negro who committed a rape
on Miss Susan Pile, a respectable young
lady Of ROckbridge county, and then
murdered her, was taken out of the Jail by
four men aud hung to tree. The lynchers
gained admission to the Jail under pretense
that they had desperate under arrest, and
desired to imprison him.

FALL IN, MEN The Dayton (Ohio)
Ledger, Vallaudigham's paper, makes the
following stirring appeal: In this political
contest, this nOblest of all mere human con-
tests, which sometimes seems a doubtful
one, let US welcome to our side democrats,
old'line democrats, and new-line democrats,
and "poace" democrats, and "war" demo-
Gratis, and conservatives, Chose good old men
OF yore), and republicans who wish to act
with US, to save whatever may be saved of
the Constitutional Union Of the fathers. Let
US rise above those jealousies aud biskeridgs
and heartburnings which have estrauged
neighbors, divided churches, broken up So
ciety and subverted the Union. Let us in,
Vite honest men to join us in this holy effort
to save that which is in danger of being lost.
1t those who are true, and noble, and brave,
and able, aud desire it, or if it seems best
let them work side by side with the glorious
men of the "0ld Guard" in the lead, aud
thus shall those of as who follow, be doubly
encouraged and enabled to "stand for the

MORE RECONSTRUCTION REQUIRED.-A
Judge in San Francisco has ruled out Chi,
nese testimony as inadmissible against q
white man. This ruling is held to be in vie
olation of the 14th amendment, which pro.
vides that there "shall be no distinction on
account of color, race, or previous condition"
Evidently, our California neighbors are not
full reconstructed, according to the radical
theory.

WASHINGTON DISCARDED. A writer
complains that the Administration has dis
cardcd from the new postage stamps the
likeness of the great and good Washington,
which formerly adorned them. This is only
consistent. Having discarded the white
man in favor of the negro, it is altogether
proper that the Father of his country, who
fought through a seven years war to found
a white mans government, should be dis
carded. For radical the image of the
King of Dahomey has infinitely more attrac.
tiOns than the likeness of Washington, aud
with US the only wonder is that they did
not place biz buck niger on the new post
age stamp.

TIE House Committee of Ways and
Means have arrived 10 San Francisco, hav-
ing come through from the East by way of
the overland railroad. We are not apprised
as to the object of the Committee in visiting
this coast, but presume they came for the
purpose of spying out new subjects for tax
alton. The crazy old fanatics who run the
radical party at the East think that there
is wealth enough on the Pacific coast to pay
the National debt, and it is most likely that
it is for the purpose of satisfying themselves
on this point that the members of the Com
mittee have journeyed all the way to the land
of the setting sun,

Our SENrIMENrS.-The Mountain Dem
Ocrat says: The Gates Wide Open is the
title of a new book, designed to show the
way to heaven. The Gates Wide OPEN
must be the motto of the democratic party
henceforth, to the end that all true believers
may be taken into full communion at once,
without holding an inquest on their antece
dents. Then the book and the party will ac-
complish very nearly the same thing, fol
next to going to heaven when one dies, is
the felicity of living under democratic rule
while sojourning here below.

THE democrats of Colusa county Califor
MIA, have just placed ticket in nomination
in accordance with the Crawford county
plan. The Sun, the democratic paper, says
the plan worked we'll and the defeated cans
didates ell acquiesced in the result. Nearly
nine hundred votes were polled, and the
lowest vote received by candidate placed
in nomination was 80. Corruption is al,
most inseparable from the convention system,
and if the Crawford county plan is found to
work well it will be generally adopted.

man from the Sound as their Delegate for
Congress, the Walla Walla republicans make
almost no exertion in his behalf This is
certainly unjust. Our Walla Walla friends

For few years past there has lived in Per-

and was compelled 10 leave him and fee from
Cincinnati with her little ones. About a year
ago, she went TO New Orleans TO see her god-
mother and obtain some aid from her, but il
seems that her success was not complete, for
