DRUNKARBs in Illinois are likely to have
hard time. The new law classes them with
insane persons and idiots, and places them
under the care of guardians or overseers of
the poor, and when man has been declared
an habitual drunkard, he has no remedy from
guardianship until year has elapsed.

TEAcHERss CONTENTION.

A Teachers' Convention will be held at WalIa
Walla, on the 18th day of August next, pursuant
to an order Of the County School Superintend-
ent. The convention will be held for the pur>
pose Of establishing the use of q uniform system
Of school books throughout the county, thereby
relieving parents and guardians from the heavy
expense OF purchasing so many different series
Of school books also, believing this to be the
best manner of promoting the cause of educa'
ton. All teachers in this and Umatilla county,
Oregon, are requested to be present.
TIE SoUTH.-Negro brutality was shock
iugly exhibited in Virginia the other day.
One Julia Ann ellis became jealous Of Ella
Woodson and challenged her to mortal com.
bat. Each of the women was black as ebony,
Mrs. GilIis having considerably the advan.
tage of her antagonist in proportions and
weight, but either being in nearly every
other respect the equal of the other, They
we're armed With heavy clubs, and deep
raviue was the place selected for the fight.
Arriving at sufficient distance to exclude
the possibility of being seen, they stopped
as if by mutual consent, and then commenced
one of the most famous amazonian encoun.
tiers on record. At first they dealt 10 blows,
which were given and received by each on
the heads and bodies, the blood flowing freely.
and each club descended with all the weight
and force savage ferocity could give them.
Rage, bate and jealousy were mingled in that
and as if the clubs were but tedious way
of bringing it to an end, these two women
flung them from them, and with teeth and
nails continued the fearful struggle. The
rbick wool on their heads was torn from its
roots, blood besmeared their faces and arms,
nails were sunk deep into the flesh of both,
and they bit in a manner that only wild
beasts would be supposed capable Of. They
had now come to the ground. Julia Ann in
the struggle got her finger into the mouth of
Ella, who, after biting it to the bone, en-
deavoted, if possible, to sever that With her
sharp incisors. With a desperate effort
Julia Ann got on top of her antagonist and
succeeded in getting the hand still free upon
her throat, which she clutched tightly and
held until the jaws relaxed their hold upon
her other finger. Nor then did she let her
go, but with the glee of tigress she held
tighter and tighter until the eyebals of her
victim turned up in their sockets, her limbs
no longer offered resistance, and in few mo-
ments Ella was a corpse.

The VIRGINIA ELEcTIoN. The elections
in Virginia have resulted in an overwhelm-
ing victory for Walkers (the Conservative
ticket. A majority of forty thousand is
claimed for the moderate republican policy.
The democrats left the management of the
campaign to the republicans. The rannhli-
cans split on the extreme radical platform.
The Conservatives secured large proportion
Of the negro vote, and the democrats voted
the Conservative ticket en- nsdsse. The vic>
tory of Walkers party means the adoption
OIL the expurgated constitution, the failure of
the disfranchisement policy, aud we trust, the
Inauguration of better times for Virginia.

THE PORTLAND NAIL. - The Postal
Agent, if there is any such officer, should
give his attention to the mail service east of
the mountains. Last week we noticed the
fact that the California mails we're received
here behind the time, aud indicated the
proper remedy. We now have to notice
breach iu the communication between Walla
Walla aud Portland. The weekly papers
published at Portland on Saturday last we're
not received here up to Thursday morning.
In due course of mail they should have
reached Walla Walla on Tuesday. This is
amatter that concerns our friends Of the Her.
aid and OregoniGn, and we trust that they
will ascertain where the break is, and co.
deavor to have it rsmediOd. The Govern
ment is e1psuding large sums of money t.
have the mails carried, aud yet so uncertain
is the transmission that whenever there il
anything of special importance resort is hat
to the express. This should not be, ant
would not be, il contractors were requires

AN ORNERoUs TAx.-0n several occa-
siods we have adverted to the outrageous
tax imposed by Idaho Territory upon all
packers and teamsters who happen to come
within her limits. The owner of train or
team, as the case may be, although be may
have paid taxes. in Oregon or Washington
Territory, is repaired to "come out" to the
Idaho officials, or otherwise he finds himself
at once in the clutches of the law. Re,
Gently an attempt was made to apply this rule
to the boats of the Oregon Steam Navigation
Company, freighting to Lewiston, but tha.
corporation having means, resisted the inn
position, and when the case came up for
hearing before the Supreme Court, it was
decided that the Territory had no right to
impose the tax. The same reason that ap,
plies to steamers will apply with equal force
to teams or pack.trains, but the owners Of
the latter, not having the means to contest
the imposition, are still required to pay the
tax. A decent regard for public opinion
and the comfy that should always exist be-
tween adjoining Territories, should induce
the Idaho officials to remit this tax, which
may fairly be regarded as legal:zed robbery.
At first sight, it might seem that this is a
burden that only rests upon the outside
owners of teams and pack-trains, but if our
Idaho neigbbors will reflect for a moment,
they will see that this tax eventually comes
of consumers, and that inasmuch as packers
and teamsters are unduly heeced when en- :.
tering the Territory, they take care to add
to their freight charges an amount sufficient
to cover the tax. For the sake of her own
good name, if nothing else, Idaho Territory
should abolish this tax.

A PENNSYLVANIA radical paper favors
the ratification of the African-M Mougolian
Suffrage Amendment, for the reason that, by
the increased facilities of importing Mon.
goliaus, the time will soon arrive when that
people will out.number and out,vote the
democratic IRISH hordes" in the North,
while the negro element will out-vote the
"rebels" of the South That may be a very
good reason for radicals desiring ratification;
bnt, we submit, it is an equally good reason
for white men opposing ratification.

Gar6elds'S majority, 1872.

THE BAKERS of San Francisco are on q
strike. They set forth in their list of griev.
ances that they are required to work from
sixteen to eighteen hours daily, including
Sundays, and that for this work they only
receive from $50 to $50 a month. How is it
possible for any set of men to work sixteen
and eighteen hours a day, every day in the
week, is something we fail to understand,
and is only another evidence that there yet
remains work for missionaries at home, for
certainly no christian would thus oyertask
his fellow man. If there is any humanity,
not 10 say christianity, in San francisco, the
the bakers will be sustained 10 their strike.

RUNNING IN DEBT.-The receipts of the
United States Government from all sources
for the quarter ending March 81, 1869, were
s13S, ,17s654 95. The expenses of Governs
ment for the same period amounted to sl5TI,
773,326 81. 1t will be seen by these figures
that the expenses of the Government ex
ceeded its revenues for the quarter little
over nineteen and a half milions-equal to
deficit of over seveLty-eight millions for
the year.

TREASURE DRIFT. - Since the compile.
tion of the Pacific railroad, treasure from
San Francisco to the States goes overland,
instead of by steamers as formerly. Wells,
Fargo & Co., have already forwarded over a
million and a half by railroad, and other
bankers propOrtionate amounts. That great
bug-bear, " steamer day" is no longer known
in San Francisco, and parties having liabili>
ties to meet at the East, forward the amounts
as obtained, Instead of crowding the business
of a month into single day, as was formerly
the case.

SCHOOL Books. - Elsewhere we give
place to a call for teachers convention, to
take action in regard to a uniform system
of school books. We heartily second this
movement. Recently we had occasion to
examine the books used in one of the Walla
Walla schools, and found them little better
than radical tracts. Abe Lincoln was ex-
tolled as a martyr, and held up as a model
for youth. Having seen and known the old
jester, we might accept this as joke, but
when it comes to be taught in our schools,
we decidedly object. Let the meeting be
held, and let these radical text books be ban.
ished from the schools. In after years the
children will have abundant opportunities
for learning politics, and certainly in their
youth and innocence their minds should not
be poisoned by radical literature, palmed
upon them in the shape of school books.

THE VOTE is now being taken 10 the
Methodist Church on the question of lay
representation ip the General Conference.
1t has been a subject of agitation for forty
years. All the adult laity, male and female,
together with the ministry, are to be allowed
to vote. The proposition involves almost
revolution in the government of the Church,
and is supported by the independent Meth
odst press, as well as by majority of the
official papers. All but two of the Bishops
are recorded in favor of it, including the
senior Bishop, Morris. The voting thus far
favors lay delegation by decided majority
There are more than a million members of
the Church 10 the country, and each State is
rapidly making up its vote and sending it
forward. 1t was agreed in the Conference
of last year that the question should second
time be submitted this year. In all other
churches the lay representation divides the
authority with the ministry; should it now be
approved by the suferages of the. Methodist
Church, a provision to that effect will be
engrafted on the Constitution of the Church
at the General Conference 10 1872.

IT is said that the President and Cabinet
agree 10 the opinion that foreign war, at
the present time, would be extremely disas-
trous to the country. The opinion, however

secessionists knew beforfhaud that the late

HuMBUos.- ways of some men are
beyond ordinary comprehension. They act,
and their actions are governed BY some mo>
tive not so patent to the eye Of the common,
vulgar herd as the sun at noon day. Some
men there are, who have..a faculty of display
ing their names in public places, in public
prints, on buletin'boards aud dead.walls, in
order to attract attention-acting under the
impression that if they attain noteriety, they
have achieved distinction. Real merit is
generally modest, and bushes at even the
slightest approach of publicity, and partic-
ularly to that kind of publicity attained
through the medium Of printers ink, dead
walls and the bill>stickers' paste.pot. Fre>
queutly these seekers after rotorioty cause
disappointment and loss to others by their
fantastic antics and bill-sticking attempts to
catch the public eye, as there are many peo-
pie who have faith even in humbugs, or else
Barnum, Ritz, and other professors of the
art, would be compelled to maintain them
selves by honest labor and cease their impo-
sitions. We are led to these reflections By
the knowledge that several persons were on
hand "abOut the 10th of July" ia answer
to poster cOnspicuOusiy displayed by Philip
Ritz on the 18th of June last. When we
remember that these posters were gotten out
expressly to attract attention from an edito-
rial 10 the Oregonidn published about that
date, mentioning, in not over complimentary
terms, the actions of the newly appointed
U. .. Marshal, and other Federal officials, at
the late Territorial election, we are led to
exclaim, "great is humbug, and Ritz is its
chosen profit"
