Democratic Victory in Oregon.

The Democrats have swept the
State of Oregon. They have elected
their whole State ticket, member OF
Congress, and both Houses OF the
Legislature, securing U. S. Senator
in place of the Radical Williams
The whole Pacific Coast is unit in
favor of sound Democratic prlncl-
pies.
During the war Oregon, once Dem
ocratic, was lost to the Democracy
and is now represented in the Senate
by two ultra Radicals. 1t gave about
one hundred majority for Seymour.
It is now thoroughly redeemed and
regenerated.
And thus every State, this season,
in which there was q contest, has
gone for the Democracy. The 18th
Amendment, the Tariff and the high
taxes are bringing forth their legiti,
mate fruit. The people are aroused
everywhere and are prepared to de-
throne the party which has well nigh
brought the country to destruction
A sweeping Democratic victory eve,
rywhere in November will finish the
work so auspiciously begun. What
says the Democracy Of Louisiana?

TEE METHoDlsrs AND THE INDIANS.


Yesterday morning the Methodist preachers meet
the advocates of determination were about equally
divided with the peace men. The discuss.o on arose
upon report made by DR.. Holdich of the proceed
ings of the Indian Commission mass meeting, In
Cooper Institute, last week, and the probable hold
ing of another meeting in few weeks, at which
Red Cloud and other Indian chiefs will be pre-
sent, was announced. Drs Foster, Harris, Curry,
Griswod ana Messrs. Weed, WILLIS Taylor
and others participated IN the debate. DR.. Curry
Trusting In the indian nature; that they are simply
savages and kind treatment Is thrown away on
them, Tor they look upon their peace friends
ards ana scalp them on the first favorable Opportu-
nifty. He related incidents from American history
and from more recent experience il support OF ms
loan was justified in his massacre of the Piegans
DIR. Harris and Rev. Mr.. Weed also related similar
incidents and took like ground. but they
deprecated indiscrninate slaughter. The sys-
with the Indians was nveighed against and the gov
ernment were urged to send sucient military force
10 the frontier to protect white settlers and to pre-
vent the Indians from roaming beyond thelr own
reservations. 1t should be made criminal offence
for them to be found Three miles the bounds OF
their own lands. The conclusion was deemed inev
table that either the white man or the Indian must
be eXternnated, and OF course the latter must first
succumh Nevertheless the Christian spirit and
policy manifested In Secretary COx's letter, which
was read TO the meeting, was appianded, and Dr.
Holdich was appointed committee TO respond to is
and TO express the sympathy OF the New York
Methodist preachers tn every peaceful enort tuat
may be made TO subdue the Indians buG at the same
time asking for ample protection Tor the white

AN INTERESTING LIBEL SUIT.

A good deal of interest Is now felt at Trenton n j.
regarding the issue OF suit for libel brought by
Judge D. Naar, proprietor OF the True American
against Mr. JAY editor and proprietor OF the Trenton
linton Sentinel. The alleged malicious publication
appeared in the Sentinel some twelve months ago.
TO the effect that Judge Naar mad acted the part of
vile money broker in reference TO the pardonug OF
some convicts by the Court OF Errors The
trial was 10 have taken place Mt the
last term OF the Mercer county Special Sessions
but in the absence Of important witnesses put
OH until the present term. Last Saturday AR. Hage-
man, counsel for the prosecution, moved that The
case be Immediately brought before Chief Justice
Beasey, as all the witnesses were ready. The Chief
Justice, under the plea OF having TOO much civil
business to dispose OF, ordered the libel case to he
carried to the Court Of General sessions. Counsel
for the prosecution then minated that he
wished ft TO be tried by his Honor, the
chief Justice, as some nice points of law
were likely 10 be raised npon wbcn he would wish
to have the opinion OF the CHIEF Justice. The latter
however, persisted that the case should be carried
60 the other court, and the witnesses ordered
TO be present on Monday yesterday. 1t seems,
however, that Judge Reed who pTesides at the
General Sessions declines 10 give the case hearing.
The witnesses were in court yesterday, but the trial
did not come of. The impression prevails that 1t
