!" dressed unless he is equipped with
his English broadcloth coat, his French
calf boots and kids, and his English
patent lever watch. The young lady
does not think she is " rugged" unless
she has her West India laces, her fine
! Turkish shawl, aud her dress is cut and
trimmed in the latest Partisan style.
And so it is with everything. We
drink our French brandies and Scotch
ale, and our houses are filled with i'm
ported articles of all descriptions. This
should not be SO; we should pride our
selves upon our own productions, and
should endeavor to make them as fine
as possible; and that we can have them
just as durable, just as good, and just as
fine as can be manufactured anywhere,
no sane minded person will pretend to
deny. Business is business" is the
common motto, and let us look to this
matter with an eye to business.
Our Portland neighbors have taken
the initiatory step, and opened large
establishment for the manufacture oi
boots and shoes. This We expect to see
followed by numerous others and all
of them furnished with the first quality
of leather from our own manufactures
until Oregon, instead of being com

A REBUFF EXTRAORDINARY.

A Washington dispatch to the San
Francisco press contains the following ::
"a faux pas was made on Friday by
the over-anxious friends of Senator
Williams, of Oregon, to get him place
in the Cabinet. A delegation of fifteen
gentlemen, led by Ex-Governor Woods,
OF Oregon, and District Attorney Hill
lyer, OF Nevada, visited the White
House and made speech to the PRESS
dent, saying that as Cabinet changes
we're talked of, the Pacific slope re-
aucsted more immediate recognition.
| The President interrupted Governor
Woods at the outset, and told him that
his Cabinet was family concern, and
that he should resent any attempt made
by politicians to interfere with his
choice lie said he would receive the
delegation on any other subject, but
never on that one. The Committee
ventured to express the hope that they
had rot prejudiced the President
against Senator Williams, and assured
him that the Senator had not been
aware of the precipitate good will of his
friends. The President said he could
well believe that Senator Williams had
not been consulted on topic so deli
cate, and that it was because he knew
that the Oregon Senator was not privy
to the purpose of the delegation, that
he should dismiss the whole subjec,
from his mind The affair makes much
merriment around the hotels to day"
The Daily Oregonian Of Jan. 10th,
contains the above quotation without
any comments. What does the above
mentioned organ think of the affair
| l. it rebuff which Ex-Governor Woods
and his party deserved? :? or was it a
lack of courtesy on the part of Presi'
dent Grant?

The Mercury, in its last issue, after
noticing the article in the REPUBLI-
CAN on McCreery's remarks in Congress
concerning the Arlington estate, asks
US our opinion of the manner in which
Longstreet was treated by Grant and
his administration.
We are inclined to the belief that if
the editor of the Mercury had taken q
second thought, he would not have
asked the question. The position taken
by the REPUBLICAN on the great ques-
tions of national policy has been such
that wayfaring man need not err, as he
could run and read, so plainly were its
principles set forth j; and prominent
among these was punishment for trea-
son against the United States Govern
ment, so as to forever prohibit an effort
on the part of any man or set of men,
from engaging in any effort to break up
the Government hereafter
The Act of the Administration in
placing Longstreet in lucrative posi-
ton, while many Of the brave men who
fought for the snstainance of the flag
which he endeavored to pull down, re-
mained out of employment, or in posi-
tions of minor Importance, never has,
and never will be sanctioned by us.

the greater portion of the voters. even
of the Republican party, are more IN
favor of putting the national debt into
longer running bonds, at lower rate of
interest, and thus tighten the burdens
of the present tax payer, than to lessen
the debt so rapidly by the present sys>
TEN of taxation and revenue. Much as
it is to be desired that the country be
free from Indebtedness, yet we do not
feel disposed to shift the Jurden which
we think should be borne by the many,
upon the shoulders of the few.

BROOM RAID-Ncver since the fa>
nous. : Broom Ranger" torch light
procession in this city has there been
such stir in the broom trade as was
occasioned yesterday by the appearance
of Cal manufacturer who brought
with him about 500 dozen from the
State Penitentiary. at San Quentin, to
be disposed of in Oregon markets at re.
duced rates. He failed to take out a
license for peddling in this city, and
was consequently fined on examination
before Judge Lewis, when he turned
his attention to East Portland, and EN-.
ployed express wogons to transfer his
stock to the other side. The article in
which he deals is made by convicts, the
contractor raising his own broom corn
on his own soil, hence his expenses are
very light, and his threat to glut this
market to get even" may make
brooms very cheap.-BuHehn.
