JOHNSON VERSUS GRASr-The following pen

JOHNSON VERSUS GRAST.-The following pen
portrait of Grant, by ex-President Johnson is
not very complimentary to our new President:
know Grant thoroughly. had ample oppor.
tunity to study him when was President; and
am convinced he is the greatest farce that was
ever thrust upon the people. Why, the little
felow-excuse me for using the expression, but
can't help plying him-the little fellow has
nothing in him. He hasn't single idea. He has
conception of what the county requires. He
don't understand the philosophy ofa single great
question, and is completely lost in trying to un.
derstand his situation. lie is mendacous, Gun,
ming, and trescherous. He lied to me hagranty,
and convicted him by my whole Cabinet but
that even would have been tolerable were it the
only instance, but it was not. He lied on many
other occasions. tell you, sir, Grant is moths
ing more than bundle of spites jealouses, and
resentments. Aud yet they say Grant is Sec
ond Washington. Just look at the man sitting
at Cabinet council. He has no idea, no policy
no standard, no creed, no faith How can be
guide the people? How can he impress any
great improvements or moral ideas upon the
nation? He has no object to look forward to,
no leading aim to draw the people towards any
particular end. He sits there with his Cabinet
One member has bought him house in Phila>
delphis, another has given him $64, 900, another
has given him a carriage, and so on. 1t is de-
grading to the Office of President of the United
States to have such a man there.

DoS'T FAIL WORTH ACESr.-"Brick" Pomeroy
has placed the business management of his pa
pers in the hands of G. P. Sykes, an experienced
publisher, and now devotes bis entire time to
the duties of the sanctum, where, relieved of
business cares, he is making his giant weekly,
Pomeroy's Democrat, the most reliable paper ever
printed. 1t is sharper than the La Crosse Demo-
trdt ever was-more than red hot, and full to the
brim of laughable humorous articles; Saturday

reports of Pomeroy's failure are simply stories
started by those who do not like his giant paper

the bondhoders and official corruption.

FINANCIAL CRIsIs.-Ihe long looked for
crisis in the financial life of the nation is,
perhaps nearer than persons generally sup
pose, aud may be precipitated sooner than is
expected. In the Supreme Court of the
United States, the Kentucky case, involving
the constitutionality of the legal tender act,
has been argued and will be decided before
long. Alive 10 the importance of the ques-
tions involved 10 the case, the National
Banks have recently held convention with
a view to providing for their own safety
against all contingencies. This convention
was held at the St. Nicholas Hotel, in New
York, and in his opening address, the chair
man adverted to the impending crisis in
terms of great earnestness. He said that if
the legal tender clause should be declared
unconstitutional ait would compel return
to specie payment at an early day" 1t is
hardly necessary to say that sudden return
to specie payments would, in the estimation
of the Banks, bring about this very crisis
which is feared and the holding Of the con-
ventiou would indicate fear that the decis.
ion of the Supreme Court is likely to be
against the constitulionality of the clause.
1t looks to us very much as if thero were
breakers ahead.

DEMOCRATIC FUTURE.-The Detroit Free
Press, one of the best democratic journals IN
the West, thus discourseS upon the present
and future of the democratic party: "The
democratic party will not, because it has met
with defeat, abate for one moment its de-
votiou to the great principles of civilization
and progress, Of justice and right, which un-
derlie its organization and constitute The
basis Of its existence 1t is struggling, not
for the supremacy of individual, but for the
success of principles. Holding the princi.
pies as sacred and essential to the unity of
the nation and prosperity of the people, it
cannot and will not abandon them. They
are the well spring from which flows the
fountain of national existence, aud they can
not be abandoned merely because those who
support them have met with Temporary deN
feat.

DIRTY Cox still aspires to the Governors
ship Of Washington Territory, and affects to
believe that Gar6elde will procure him the
appointment. The GovernOrship has become
a mania with the old "pig driver" and if be
fails to secure the object of his ambition, it
is quite certain that he will cease to be an
active worker in the radical organization.
Unfortunately for Cox, the new Delegate is
thoroughly posted as to his character among
bis neighbors, and knows that be is most de-
tested BY those who know him best. Gar>
6elde is too shrewd to have a man of this
kind appointed. and although he may make
fair promises, the representatives, Of dirty
radicalisu may rely upon it that they are
only made to be broken.

OWYhee Mining Items.


New DISCoYERY.-A late discovery which
has justly caused some excitement in the
community, was made on July l4th, by
John Chauncey, near the head of Whisky
Gulch. 1t is called the Home Resort We
have seen some specimens from it which are
good, plenty of free gold visible. 1t is the
opinion Of all who have visited the the ledge,
that it will develop we'll, and that it is in
short, big thing. The lucky claimants
are Chauncey and Hyman & Reichenberg
Several extensions have been taken up and
recorded work is being pushed forward as
rapidly as possible on the original discovery
IDA ELLMoRE.-This mill took breath>
ing spell for few hours this week, but has
again resumed work. The new hosting
works on the mine will be ready for opera
tions the first of next week. Owing to its
capacity-25-h power engine-it will be
fully competent to furnish the requisite sup
ply of ore, OF which the mine contains an
abundance, to keep the Ida's whistle in tune
for many day.
DEXTER-Owen McMahon & Co., are
engaged in sinking shaft on this new dis
covery, and the prospects is very favorable
for it to be good lead, every particle of ore
extracted from it, as yet, contains more or
less gold visible to the naked eye. The shaft
has been sunk depth of fifteen feet, and its
owners intend to continue the work until the
mine is thoroughly developed.
PoTosI.-Work is still progressing on
this mine with satisfactory results. Since
our last notice the shaft has been sunk to a
greater depth, the ledge is widening, and the
ore looks well.
RED JACKET.-Several hands are at work
on the jacket, and the indications continue
very favorable.
ALLIsoN.-The new hosting works on
this mine have been completed and are in
operation. Mr.. Walbridge has charge of it,
and the mine will undergo thorough test.
THE New York Mill is pounding away
night and day on Golden Chariot rock. The
ledge is as large as ever, aud the quality of
ore has not lessened in value.-AvaIanche.

Gov. GIBBS, of Oregon, is at the East,
passing his claims for the U. s. Judgeship
provided for by recent act of Congress.
Judge Deadly wants the same place, for the
reason that it pays better than the Judgeship
he now holds. OF the two it is possible that
Deadly is the best qualified, but in all the
elements of character Gibbs is immeasurably
his superior. The one is man Of principle,
the other a man who is ready to betray any
party or principle when he deems it to his
personal advantage. A man who voted for
slavery in Oregon, he was among the first to
give the dead institution a kick and turn
around and sing p@ans in honor of "John
Brown" Like the Vicar of Bray, Deadly
is consistent in being true to himself, and IN
his selfshness is always ready to betray either
friends or principles. If we must have radi>
Gals in office, give us men Who like Gibbs
act from principle, rather than trimmers, of
whom Deadly is a very bad type.

WATER DITcH.-Captain Tedford, Michael
Jordan, Charley Ahmon, A. Perrigo and
others, contemplate cutting a ditch for the
purpose of conveying the waters of Jordan
creek from near the old saw mill site, two
miles above town, along the south side of the
creek to Wagontown, for mining purposes.
Tapping the Jordan at that point an eleva-
tion of several hundred feet can be obtained
before reaching Silver. They propose 10
hume Long Gulch as high up the ravine as
possible, which will enable them to, throw
the water not far below the summit of Flori-
da Mountain, on its west face. AS rich
placers are known to exist in the various
ravines and gulcEes all along the sides of the
mountains between here and WagontowD,
and below that point, which have remained
unworked because of the absence of water
facilities, this becomes an important and, ,
no doubt will be, profitable enterprise

IT is announced in our dispatches this morn
ing that George W. Gift is on his way to Cali
forna and China for the purpose of securing
Chinese laborers. Gift is a son of Col. Gift of
California, and is a sterling democrat,-one of
that class whom the Irish democracy love to
hurrah for.-OrsgoHidH.
This is about as near the truth as a lying
radical like Scott can be expected to get.
In early days, when the democracy had offices
to bestow, Col. Gift and all the Gifts were
thrOugh-gOing democrats, but of late years
they have had new revelation, and banker
ing after the flesh pots they have herded with
the radicals. These Gifts belong to the
school Of which Butler is a shining light.
Whilst democrats they out. Heroded Herod,
aud now that they have gone over to the
radicals they are just as extreme the other
way. 1t won't do to play the Gifts of as
democrats; they are Hessians, aud will al
ways be found clinging to the party in power.

An Infamous Decision.

The infamous opinion just given by At
torney General boar, asserting the legality
of military trials of citizens, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, vindicates the faith reposed
in him By bis party and the Administration.
He was selected as fit and capable instru.
meut for the execution and defense OF the
dirty jobs demanded by the exigencies of
radcalism, and he has given ample proof
that bis 'heart is in his work. The plain,
unmistakable constitutional guarantee ofjury
trial, aud the solemn decision ofthe Supreme
Court, con:urred in by all the Judges, sus'
tanning that guarantee in the Indiana CON
spiracy cases. are alike ignored in the cause
of military usurpation with the narrow, pet
ty, uncandid ingenuity ofa police court pet
tifogger The cheerful readiness with which
this task was accepted and performed has
encouraged the Yankee Attorneys master
to impose upon him another, viz :: to write
up an argument in support of the theory that
Georgia has not been reconstructed The
object in view is thus revealed by the New
York Tribune:
HIfMr. Hoar should decide that the State is
not State in the Union, according to the recon-
struction laws of Congress, then, it if thought,
the President will have the same power there
that he has in Virginia, Mississippi and Texas,
and will recognize Georgia as having only
Provisional Government"
So it appears to be an article of faith 10
the advanced radical creed, that the existence
of the State Government, and the rights of
the people represented in them, are subjects
upon which the Attorney General is cOmpe
tent to decide ; and an opinion of his, pre>
pared to order, to meet a supposed political
emergency, is to be accepted by the President
as authority for overturning the entire in.
stitutions of the State, and putting its popu>
lation under martial law. II this can be done
with Georgia it may also be done with Ohio
or New York. The legitimate authority of
the Federal Government is subject to the
same restrictions south Of the Potomac as
north of it and if the limits set by the Con-
stitution may be overstepped on one side of
the line, why may they not be disregarded on
the other2 To destroy the State Govern
ment of Ohio by military force would be to
commit treason in "levying war upon one
of the United States. The rule will equally
apply to Georgia, and the fact that the per>
petrators of the crime may wear the uniform
of the Federal army, would increase rather
than diminish their guilt. There was ruler
in Venice once, it may be remembered, who
tried this experiment of making war upon
the Government of which be was himself the
head. We commend the result of his treason
to the attention of General Grant and his
superserviceable and cOnscienceless Attorney
General.

THE BEAUTY CT RADICALISM.-As Illus
trating the beauty Of radicalism, We copy from
a South Carolina paper the following report
of court proceedings:
AT the present term of the Court of General
Sessions, out ofthirty- -four petit jurors summon
ed, twenty three were negroes, and eight white
men. OF the Grand Jury, twelve were negroes
and seven whites. As but eighteen of the petit
jurors answered to the summons, thirteen extra
jurymeu, all of them negroes, were drawn from
the bystanders. Out of these two sets of jury
men were empanneled. The jury was made up
of ten negroes, and two whites /; the second bad
not a white man on it, OF the last mentioned
jury only one negro was found who could write
his name, and be by order OF the Judge, was ap-
pointed foreman"
Radical policy towards the South, SAYS the
New Hampshire Patriot, works about like
this everywhere The mass of white men
are disqualified for jurors by test oatbs, and
the rights and liberties of the people are
placed in the hands of ignorant and brutal
negroes. This is the sum and substance, as
it was the end and aim, Of radical recon
struction. How would Northern republi.
cans, gentlemon of culture, character and
standing, like to have such dose as this ad.
ministered to them? Is this the way the
repuplicau party dispenses justice? 1t may
truthfully be said that "justice is dispensed
with" How many republicans of this coun-
ty would submit 10 sit on jury composed Of
a majority of negroes9

WASHINGTON ITEMS "A private letter
from Washington notices the presence of H,
Parker, and says that he has been endeaVor'
ing to have Moore removed from the Walla
Walla POst,ofice and Andrews appointed in
his place. Parker himself aspires to the
Marsbalship, bu: the appointment of Ritz
had taken all the wind out of his sails. The
writer thinks that considering Parker's pre-
vious relations with Ritz, the attempt to
supplant him is unkind. The chances are
that no changes will be made until the arri-
val of the Delegate, when it is thought that
quite a number of heads will roll in the
basket.
