The returns from California show a
decided victory for the Republicans.
Booth is elected by 6,O00 majority.
The Legislature is sufficiently strong to
insure Republican for the next L. S.
Senate. Notwithstanding the frequent
threats Of the Democracy to defeat the
Administration on the ground Of fraud
and incompeteney, yet when the matter
comes to vote, we see the people
coming up with one voice and declaring
their approval Of the acts and record Of
the Republican party. Such will, We
hope, continue to be the case until the
frauds Of ''Tammany" and all the minor
"rings" shall have become things Of the
past.

Does Protection to Home Industries
Esent Il. tha Earmer!

One Of the main questions in politi-
cal economy at present, is the one Of
protection. The Republicans, as a
party, have ever favored the careful
protection Of home industries. The
Democracy have opposed it, and with
their time honored" cry of " Free
Trade and Sailors Rights have en-
doavorod to prove to the people that
they were right and the protcctionists
wrong. We have heretofore given
many reasons why the industries of our
country should be protected, and We
now wish to state in brief few adyan~
tagcs to accrue to the farmer. (" We

A ROMANTIC MEETING.-The Atchls0n
Champion says that few days ago an
old gentleman, an Engiishman, called in
an office to purchase railroad ticket for
the East He had been making a "trip
out over the Central Branch road, to see
some relatives Entering into converse
ton with him Mr.. Wills learned the par
ticulars of q somewhat singular and ro-
mantle story, the particulars Of which he
gave MS.
The old gentleman had two brothers
and several other relatives who, years
ago, enigrated to America. He also
came to this country twelve or fourteen
years later. In some way he lost track
of his brothers and other relatives sew
eral years before leaving England, and
since his arrival here he had been con.
stantly on the lookout for some trace of
them. But for twenty two years he had
not heard a word from any one of them,
and did not know whether they were
living or dead. @ sA&4
The old gentleman had been living in
Illinois for several years past. A few
days after the late tornado swept over
East st. Louis and other places, he ac-
Ciueutdlly gov Holu VI u sDC. Louis paper,
and, in the names of the persons killed
and injured, he was surprised to see his
brothers name among those quite severely
hurt at Illinoistown. He at once set off
to see if the injured man was his brother,
and found that it was indeed the long
lost relative. The meeting was de-
lightful reunion, after so many years of
absence and silence The brother was
not badly injured. He was also able to
tell his older brother where his OF her
brother and relatives were located, and
the old gentleman soon set out on trip,
to visit all of them. His visit to Kansas
was for the purpose of seeing some of his
long lost relatives living west of this city.
The old gentleman was very much re-
joiced at the fortunate discovery of his
relatives, and the incidents TINS related
are certainly additional exemplifcation
| of the truth of the old adage that ct is an
i'll wind that blows noboey any good"
| The tornado which brought disas er,
suffering and death to so many was to him
the means of revealing brothers and
relatives long sought for and sincerely
mourned

In Oregon, as in all new countries,
money commands high rate of interest.
Twelve per cent. in gold can be readily
obtained for the use of greenbacks, on
the best real estate securities. One per
cent. a month is the rate established by
law, or no doubt higher one would rule.
In Washington Territory, where there is
no limit. it Is worth 90 per cent. and
often 81. A few years ago, before there
was any law on the subject, 8 and 10 per
cent. month was not uncommon.

THE SUPREME COURT AND THE
LEGAL TENDER QUESTION.

About year ago the Supreme Court
decided the Legal Tender law. TO be un-
constitutional in its application to
contracts made before the passage of the
law for the payment of gold. An effort was
soon made to reopen the question but was
refused by the Court "a law was passed
increasing the number of Judges to nine
and Judge Grier, who was opposed to
the Constitutionality of the law,resigned,
thus making two vacancies to be filed
Judges Bradley and Strong were nomin-
ated and confirmed to fill the vacancies.
A case has recently been brought before
the Court and the Court has reversed its
previous decision, and decided the law to
be constitutional in its application 10
contracts made previous to its passage as
well as since. None of the Judges have
changed their opinions. Chief Justice
Chase and Judges Nelson, Clifford and
Fields are against the Constitutionality of
the law in its application to contracts made
before its passage. and Judges Miller
Davis, Swayne, Bradley and Strong are in
favor Of its constitutiOnality In its appli
cation to contracts made before AS we'll
as since its passage. @
1t will be observed that the new
Judges, Bradley and Strong, are both in
the afirmative-that is, in favor of the
constitutionality of the law. Both of
these Judges had been engaged as attor-
neys of railroads before their appoint
ment as Judges of the Supreme Court
one for the Pennsylvania Central, and
the other fol, the New Jersey Camden
and Amboy. These railroads are both
said to have. large contracts made previ
Gus to the passage Of the law for pay
ment in gold. The reversal of the pre-
vious decision of the Supreme Court will
enable these railroads to make payment
in National Currency, in place of gold,
and to recover the difference between
gold and National Currency on the pay
ments which they have made. A report
was currentat the time of the appoint
ment of Judges Bradley and Strong that
they owed their nomination and confirm
alton to the desiro to have the legal ter
der decision reversed Whether this
report was true or false, the legal tender
decision has been reversed by the votes
of Bradley and Strong, and the report is
again revived. Which of these decisions
is the best, and how much weight the last
will carry over the first, are questions
which we shall not now discuss. Our
present purpose is to give the facts to
our readers. The decision is eliciting
much discussion in the legal profession
and it is right that others outside of the
legal fraternity should become acquainted
with the facts aid arrive at their own
conclusions. .fg ..s.a s
