A BEGINNtNG.-Twentym miles in length of
the Oregon Central r. r., east side, have been
completed and accepted by the u. S. Govern

California and Oregon Rail Road, commenc-
ing ut Marysville, California, have also been
completed, forming, as we understand it, q
part Of the same projected line, and making
forty miles in all, completed and in running or

PROTECTIVE LABOR USIoSs.-These asso.
Citations are gradually extending their ram;fi-
cations over the Eastern. Middle and Western
States. and even over the Pacific coast, and
are destined to be potent political element
in behalf of the laboring mans riehts,-of
equal aud exact justice TO all classes of society,
and in aid of Democracy, which has ever pro-
tccted the interests and rights of the poor
equally with those of the rich 1t is an array
of the forces of labor against capital which
inaugurates an irrepressihle though peaceful
contest that will eventually vauquish the CO.
horts of monied Radicalism and class Legisla-
ton and Goldfish aristocrats. In the neghbor-
ing State of Oregon, we are glad to see much
interest taken among the laboring classes in
this movement. Mr.. Senator Williams aud his
nabob compeers of the Sumner, Purtanical,
New England arstocracy stripe will be certain
to feel the
might that slumbers in a yeomans ARM
although only used against such arch dema-
gogues in depositing ballots at the ballot-box.
Ex-senator Nesmith, we are also pleased to
learn, is in the field doing good service in the
Democratic ranks in that State.

OUR New GovERNoE.-We learn from the
n. Y. World that DR.. Samuel Bard, the recent
ly appointed Governor for Idaho claims TO
have been the first editor in the country to
hoist Mr.. Grants name for the Presidency, as
editor Of the Atlanta (Ga.) Ne,o Era. We
further learn, from an editorial article in the
same Journal that DR. Bard was originally Of
such pure secession proclivities Us to have been
State Superintendent of Public instruction of
Louisiana, and supporter of Slidell for tho
Presidency, and the Horld says he bloomcd
out, during the war, in the most CORY proper
tons, his fierce detestation of Yankees beng
such as to evoke the halfenvious statement OF
fire-eating editor. that bis pen was rattle
snakes fang and his inkstand tigers gall.
With the close Of the struggle he perceived the
error Of his ways, and with fine adaptation
of means TO ends, so persistently beslavered
Gen. Grant that for shame's sake, even II not
from his very well developed gratitude, that
individual could hardly do otherwise than toss
him n bone. This bone is the Idaho Governor
ship, and the use TO be made of it is that the
Doctor ia "to shape the destiny Of the Terrific
ry,"-lug it in as State. with all speed, and
be himself one of its two Radical Senators.
This don't look much like favoring division
of the Territory. The Democracy OF the Ter
ritory will take care Of the Radical Senator
ships and the heresies OF Radicaiism.

CAUTIOS-An old law maxim of approved
value is that ain an abundance OF caution there
can be no injury" The business community
of Boise county are gradually changing from a
gold dust currency to greenback basis OF bu-
siness This being the case. at the commence
ment of the business season, and of political
campaign, it will be well, and not only well but
necessary, for all who would avoid loss from
spurious bank notes, to be cautious in learning
the nature and denomination OF counterfelts in
existence, and from time to time issued At
present there are but few experts of paper
money here OF course, the number will in
crease with the necessity, but we would recon-
mend to every business man to keep posted,
and well posted, in such matters for his own
benefit. To be forewarned is to be forearmed,
and If any considerable loss shall result to any
persons after this timely word of caution they
can thank their own negligence. That efforts
will be made here, as elsewhere, by scoundrels
to impose upon the public. counterfeit curren-
cy, can scarcely be doubted. We can not hope
to escape with impunity when every other CON-
munity in the country is more or less the suf
fcrer by such knavery, and where compare
lively few at present know the difference be-
tween counterfeit and genuine bill. 1t is
too inviting field for enterprising knavery.

in Washington, D. c., Miss Collins was in
troduced as Lowell factory girl Of Boston,
who, in short and pertinent speech, drew n
comparison between the black slaves of the
South and the white factory serfs of New Eng
land, and declared that the negroes knew COM
'paratively nothing of cruelty and tyranny, and
that it was necessary to have been a factory
girl in New England TO appreciate the worst

mAahiED OR Nor?-One of the most cu-
rlous domestic cases that has boo,, hoforo a.,
YIN eour's lor some time is the suit of
slanuer vi lena w. Moore against John s
Bonnet, the damages being placed at * oro
Miss Moore, the plaintiff, is a schoo,m;s,vos.
of twelve years standing, and is twentv-seven
years of age, and has lost her situation az
teacher through The assertions of BonpelI ,ba,
she is his wife. Her two sisters have also lost
their places as teachers. Bonnell was a SOL
dier, and claims that after the war he was So
cretly married to Miss Moore by the late Rev
DIR. MeCintock, that the clergyman gave him
a certificate of the marriage, and that, after il
first began to be rumored that they were mar
ried, he gave her, out of pure love, an affida-
Wit that he had never married her at all. He
brings some witnesses to prove that he had
introduced her to people as Mrs. Bonnell."
The testimony of DIR. McClintock and his fam
lily is singularly worthless, as no one remem-
bers how the lady looked. Ministers families
are SO often called upon to act as witnesses
that their recollection of any one ceremony is
not worth a straw, a fact that bears an OBJ
vlous moral. The evidence of any "married
life" is very slight. Miss Moore denies the
marriage In toto, and rests triumphantly ON
Bonnelps affidavit She admits that she cor
responded with him for long time, and her
letters are produced, very good love letters
to darling" etc. She claims that Bonnell
used to practice writing her name, and could
initiate it very perfectly. She held his bank
book, but drew no money, and Bonnell also
gave her an insurance policy on his own life
payable to her. The case is very mysterious,
and involves some extraordinary lying on one
side or the other.
The jury on Tuesday was discharged, as
they could not agree.

MAN ScALDED.-Abel Waterman, residing
at No. 3 Short street, was severely scalded
this morning by the upse.ting of hot kettle
of hot water from the stove. The circum-
stances which led to the accident were anus
ing enough to somewhat "dull the edge of
pain" in Mr.. Waterman's case. His little boy
full of mischief, as three-year-olds always are,
had dropped a pet kitten into one of his ia
theirs rubber boots-a very common trick
among juveniles. The result was that when
Mr.. Waterman, who was in something of a
hurry, attempted to draw on the already oc-
cupied boot, he gave yell, and at the same
time leap that would have done credit to
either of the Hanlon Brothers, upsetting the
kettle upon his other unprotected foot, and
giving him cause to remember that kitten,
since deceased, for a good week at least

THE Providence Journal relates that when
Trumbull visited Rhode Island, early in the
the present century, to procure portrait Of
Gov Stephen Hopkins for his great picture Of
the Declaration of Independence, none could
be found. But many persons who had known
Gov. Hopkins, declared that his grandson
was a perfect representation Of him. Trum-
bull, therefore, took portrait of the younger
Hopkins for his painting, and for this reason
dld not give him prominent place in the
foreground of his picture, but placed him in
the distance with broad brimmed hat on, as
he was Quaker.

In Kentucky, recently, criminal had to
be tried, and the Circuit Judge refused TO al
low him to be lodged in the Jail. Before the
next morning he was taken away and hang
ed by an unknown band. Within twenty
miles of Lexington another band hung man
to tree, and pinned a paper on his breast
warning every body not to take him down
until certain hour named. The coroner
and his attendants were called to the spot,
and waited, watch in hand, until the hour
fixed by the assassins had arrived. Both
these outrages were committed by the Ku-
Klux-Klan. Is there no hope for Kentuck?

miles from Boston, and said that he had been
given up by several physicians, but had been
advised to call upon him. The physician was
ill, and dictated prescription to be COM

ed that too much of one ingredient had been
put in by mistake, and the physician was fear
full that the dose would prove fatal. All ef-
forts to find the sick man, however, were un-
successful, and the papers were eagerly
watched with the expectation of seeing his
death chronicled. Some time afterward the
bell was rung, the patient again appeared

Radical Principles.

The Write people OF the State acknowledge
the civil aid political equality Of the white
and black races, and because they do this
the Radical Revilers declare shat the whites
have adopted Republican principles, and
might just as well, with good face, become
open members OF the Republican party.
But the white people of South Carolina, while
they recognize the law and 3ubmit to the
constitution, DO not accept the principles OF
the Republican party Of South Carolina. In
this State, Eepublicanism is not Equal
Rights, Free Speech, and Low Taxation
AS interpreted by its leaders, Republican
ism, in South Carolina, is Dishonesty Fraud
and Corruption. The Republicans, as a
body, may be upright and straightforward,
but their spokesmen and leaders are knaves,
ragamutfins, and worse. Their principles"
are Robbery and Plumber, and these are the
s.principles" which the friends Of Reform
must fight tooth and nail, until victory is
won. When the principles" OF tie oracles
of South Carolina Radicalism are Truth and
Integrity, it will be time enough tor ask de-
cent men to snirch their fingers with the rot
tenness OF the Scott party.

The Robertson Amnesty BILL.

The Amnesty bill introduced in the United
States Senate by Senator Robertson, of this
State, relieves of their political disabilities
all persons except those comprised in the
three following classes:
First All persons who, being members OF
the Congress of the United States withdrew
from their seats and aided the rebellion.
"Second All persons who, being officers Of
the army or navy of the United States, left said
army or navy and aided the rebellion.
sThird ALI persons who were members OF
State Conventions which adopted pretended
ordinances of secession"
These are expected to amount in all to
about one thousand persons, and upon this
point the New York Tribune says: ave
submit that their exception at this time
Z" will only provoke an agitation for furth-
Ger amnesty, wherein the opposition is sure
to be the losing side in the end. We be-

The diligence, practical spirit and liberal

The members have come from the most dis
tant counties OF the State, as well as from
gallant Georgia, to attend the convention,
and they are working zealously and steadily
for the permanent advantage of South Caro-
lima and the South. To-day the proceedings
of the conyention will be highly interesting,
and will Re witnessed, we trust, by large
number of people. The dress circle and

A Practical Proposition.

During the session Of the immigration
Convention yesterday, the Hon. Geo. A.
Trenholm stated that the South Carolina
Railroad Company were willing 10, bestow
upon immigrants alternate sections OF lands
belonging to the company; and that the com :
panyswould subscribe not exceeding $4,000
for establishing reliable line OF steamships
between Charleston and irst-class Euro
pean port
This is wise as well as practical pro-
position. Ii alternate sections Of land be
given to trustworthy and industrious immi-
grants, the value Of the reserved sections
will be greater than the present value OF the
whole tract. And besides this, every settler
upon the line of the road will add to the
passenger and freight business of the COM
pany.
The South Carolina Railroad is on the
right track. Let US push things
