DEATH IN TIE BEER Por.-From the

DEATH IN THE BEER PoT.-From the |
n. Y. Sun We learn that fortnight ago,
DIR. Firmon, of StAgg street, near Leon
ard, and Mr.. Fredrick Fries, wealthy
brewer on Bushwick avenue, Williams
burgh, laid a wager concerning the num-
Der of glasses of lager beer that each
could drink. It was stipulated that the
man who drank the least should pay the
score. They adjourned to the nearest
lager beer saloon and began the contest.
Each glass was sandwiched, it is said,
with draught of Kischwasser, with
view probably of multiplying the intoxicat-
ing effects of the beer. They drank, it is
said, amid the applause of the spectators
assembled to witness the exploit, and at
each libation responded to the approving
plaudits of their friends by waving their
glasses above their heads. At the thirty
/ fifth round it was evident that Firmond's s
stomach was painfully inflated, and that
Fries was also a sufferer. Still the
champions imbibed. Glass after glass
disappeared. When the Doctor yanquish-
ed his fiftieth glass, friend, it is said,
called-or rather carried-him out to
visit patient. Tho brewer, having COM
pleted his fifty fifth potation, reluctantly
rolled himself homeward, to renew tie
campaign another day. The neighbors
say that DIR. Firmond never left the
house from that day until he was borne
to his grave. Whether the brewer died
of spontaneous combustion or of joy at the
victory he had won, is not known, but it
is certain that the funeral of Fred. Fries,
the wealthy brewer of Williamsburg, took
place on Sunday afternoon, from his late
residence, on Bushwick avenue. 1t is
rumored in the neighborhood that much
indignation is expressed by the families
at the conduct of the saloon keeper il
presenting a bill for one hundred and five
glasses of lager beer, and an equal mum
Der of Kirschwasser. He is beginning
, to fear, however, that de monish is ucr
: loren, and threatens to sue the estate o
|, Fries for the amount claimed. The exc
cutioner, however, contends that Fries die
t not lose the wager; and the family o
| Firmond say that he would have returned
: and ultimately proved the victor, had h
t not been taken ill, and thus ineapacitate'
from renewing the contest. And so th

The Orcgonian says there can be no
doubt that in several of the counties
where Democrats have had full control of
the machinery of election, many fradu-
lent votes have been polled. Republi-
cans should make note of every case Of
the kind, SO that the record may be made
use of in case it is wanted. Let the
names of persons voting fradulently be
preserved, and let record also be kept
of the names of persons entitled to vote,
whom the Democratic judges ruled out
We have heard already of many cases Of
both descriptions.

The city of San Francisco, a Demo
cratic city, has voted to aid a~'monopoly'
known as the Southern; Pacific Railroad
Company. There is little bit of inter
esting history connected with this matter
On the 26th of April last, at a meeting
of the county Democratic Committee of
San Francisco, resolution was offered
reciting that whereas opposition to mo-
nopolies and to the voting away of the
peoples money was one of the cardinal
principles of the party, therefore the anti
monopoly Democracy would oppose pro-
positions to give the said railroad company
subsidy. But this resolution was
sqselched by the cautious members of the
Committee and the party deserted the
''principle and usage of opposition to
granting away the peoples money to mo-
nopolies )" and now we have it that the
measure has been ratified by vote of the
people of that Democratic city. A clearer
case of going back on an "ancient land
mark has rarely been seen.-- Oregoni-

EpIroR OREGoNIAN democrats pre-
tend that the poll books from two Re-
publican precincts have not yet come in,
and Republicans suspect that Democrats
do not intend to have them come within
the ten days provided by law. If they
are not in it will be because Democrats
deem it necessary to keep them out in
order to select" their candidates, to all of
whom they will give certificates, which
they can do with as much propriety and
more honesty than many other things they
have done.
According to returns, majorltles in this
county stand thus; Wilson 8; Grover 8;

ever there was doubt about their being
able to swear.
Several Republicans were driven away
by the judges, and not allowed to vote

justly entitled to not less than ten vote

SENATOR NYE ON "RUINED HUs-

Senator Nyc give the following "opinion, /"

the killing of Richardson. which result

When an infuriated husband pistoles
some one of his friends, on suspicion,
because he is supposed to have seduced
his wife, or to have been sedcued by
her, it is true hcroism to take the con-
sequences and be hanged according to
the law. This would create genuine
sympathy, and be the highest possible
vindication of domestic honor. If Nc.
Fariand were hung now, would weep
over him as martyr to the marriage
vow; but being acquitted, he goes his
way, in public estimation a low, mean
cowardly, drunken fellow It's, You see
a great wrong to Dan, and he ought tc
feel aggrievcd that he Is not hanged
OF course, with his. wife unfaithful te

STATE TIcKEr.-From the latest dates
it seems likely that the large majorities
80 vauntingly claimed By the Democracy
In tho recent State election, will dwindle
down to a bare majority. Whether this
be the case OF not, the Republicans have
evidence of largely increased vote, and
the certainty of carrying the State two
years hence by an overwhelming vote.
The Herald figures up 379 majority for
Mr.. Slater and 564 for Mr. Grover
Full returns are yet to be received from
Coos, Curry, Baker, Grant, Josephine,
TillamOok, Umatilla, Union and Wasco.
We have no hopes, from the manner in
which Democrats ruled out votes and
otherwise abridged the privileges of
voters in counties where they had com
Plete control, that true verdict of the
whole people will be rendered when the
partial returns of the June election are
sent in, but we believe that in spite of
these wrongs committed by Democratic
judges and clerks, the boasted majorities
will not appear. The full returns will
probably be received in time for our next
issue

DON'T LIKE IT.-Our Democratic
friends don't like the bill for enforcing
the provisions of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, which they style the ccrowning
infamy." In the first instance they de-
clared that such q measure was necessary,
that without it the negroes were not en-
titled and would not be allowed the priv
lege of the franchise, and now that the
required action has been taken-just
what they asserted was requisite-they
forthwith boil over with indignation
The great objection urged to the bill is
that it provides measures for its own en-
forcement, and prescribes pains and pen
alties for its violation Here's where
the trouble comes in If men are to be
held accountable for outrages committed
at the ballot-box, Democrats will suffer,
and at once the specious cry is raised !:
"the liberties Of the people are being
swept away ~ Without such provisions
as contained in the bill, the law was in
operative and of no practical use, said
these Democratic demagogues, and this
probably, was the kind of legislation they
particularly desired. If Democrats pro
pose to do right, and arc really opposed
to any distractions to the rightful use o.
the franchise, then their objections to the

JUICE BoIsE.-By kind of political
juggling, played very low down, Judge
Boise was very nearly defeated. And
although it is somewhat humiliating, at
ter having performed the duties of Judge
in this district and on the supreme bench
for twelve years with such universal sat
isfaction to all parties, that he should re-
eeive such a meager acknowledgement OF
his distinguished services in that position,
yet it is even greater qualification to be
assured there is large majority OF those
who voted against him that are not only
pleased but greatly rejoiced to have him
returned as chief of the Judiciary of this
State, upon which he has reflected so
much honor and for which he is so en-
iatfy qualified. r. p. Boise is a sound
practical lawyer, not remarkably brilliant
as genius, but possessing a mature
Judgment, equably poised, abounding In
good hard practical common sense, aud as
a judge as free from bias as one in ter
thousand. The people of Oregon, and
particularly those of the Third Judicia
District, will breathe more freely and sleeI
more soundly, now that they are assured
that the scales of justice are to be helt
six years longer in the hands of one il
whom they have the most implicit conf
aence, and whom his bitterest cnemie
never accused of malfeasance in Office O
