FLYING OFF THE HANDLE ABOUT
r.-The Oregonia'a is mad at us be-
cause we last week counselled har-
mony in the Democratic ranks, and it
tries to make out that we endorse the
New Departure. No such In
ference can fairly be obtained from
what we said, but as we are not run
ming this paper to suit Radicals we
can tolerate our metropolitan cotem-
porary's angry moods. 1t is pretty
sure indication of the correctness OF
our position to see the Radical papers
jumping and spiking and kicking
over the dashboard about the matter
As we are certain we are right we
can afford to smile at Satan's rage
and face a frowning world"

In San Francisco, on last Saturday

A FREE LOVE TRAaEDY.-Our ex-
changes for the past week have been
filled with accounts of q free love
affair at Newark. New Jersey, which
resulted in o tragedy. The victim in
this case was man named Oliver S.
Halstead, ffty-two years of age, a
man of unquestioned ability, high
social position, and warm friend of
President Lincoln when the latter
was alive. Halstead was married and
had six children. His wife was Wis
iting o married daughter on Long
Island when the tragedy occurred.
He was killed in the bedroom of an
abandoned woman, who has hus-
band and several children living. His
murderer was George Bolts, a char
coal pedlar, and also married man,
who had been on terms of criminal
intimacy with the woman. Halstead
was considered one of the shrewdest
politicians in New Jersey, and in his
death the radicals have lost an able
leader. WaILG Walla Statesman.

A'VALUED COMPLIMENT.

We take the liberty of making the
following extract from private letter
received by us from prominent Dem
ocrat of Washington Territory:
GAS time advances, I am more and
more strengthened and confirmed in
the belief of the purity and correctness
of the principles of the Democratic
party, and of the inability of party
held together by the all-pervading prin-
ciples of plunder to administer success
fully the affairs of republican form of
government. Whatever can do, en-
tertaining this idea, either by pen or
voice or influence, however feeble,
towards the overthrow of the rotten,
corrupt and damnably Infamous party
now driving the Government of Jeffer-
son, Madison, Washington and their
glorious old associates with fearful
velocity upon the Charybdis of national
ruin, shall heartily and cheerfully do.
1.-THE DEMOCRAT regard as one OF
the instrumentalities by which this end
is to be accomplished. Bold in its
enunciation of principles, fearless in its
attack upon the corruption and wrong
in high places, and merciless in its ex-
posure of the villainies of the party in
power, make it essentially paper for
the times and deserving the support OF
the Democracy of the Pacific coast"

HIRAM POWERS ON WINNIE
REAM.

II will be rccollccted that Congress
voted SIS 900 to Winnie Ream, n fe-
male lobbyist who had some preten-
sions to beauty and to art, for n statue
of Abraham Lincoln. Hiram Powers,
Americas great sculptor. writes as
follows 70 the New York Erening Post
on the subject:
II suppose that you, as well as NIL
other well-wishcrs for art in our
country, have been mortified. il not
really disguste1, at the success OF the
Winnie Ream statue of our glorious
old Lincolnl An additional $5 900
paid for this caricaturel Clark Mills
was bad enough, but this last act OF
Congress in favor of female lobby
member, who has no more talent for
art than the carver of weeping will
lows on tombstones, really fills the
mind of the genuine student OF art
(who thinks that years of profound
study OF art as science is necessary
with despair. For why should We
study and waste years of our lives N
order to do well. while only the honor
comes to-rot ourselves, but may TO
our memories long after we are dead
and all the profit to mountebanks. "
Genius is not always rewarded
bare-faced impudence and pretension
often. 1t was an outrage that the
&c statue" should have been set in
place. It illustrates the weakness OF
human nature. To Vinnie's winning
ways and the tenderness Of Congress
sional hearts the people are indebted
for a sculptured caricature of the mar
tyred President. It ought to be
pitched into the Potomac.

HENRY CLAY DEAN.-We observe
that some of our sOregon exchanges
assert that Hon. Henry Clay Dean,
the Nestor of the Iowa Democracy, is
champion of the New Departure
We have it from undoubted authori-
ty that this is not true-Mr. Dean de-
nounces the departure and utterly
refuses to recognize. it as Demo
cratic measure. He is also urgent for
the call of New Democratic State
Convention for Iowa, to put nom
departure ticket and platform in the
field. It is hardly probable, however
that the Convention will be held, as
the great majority of the Democratic
leaders and all the Democratic papers
of Iowa have given in their adherence
to the action of the State Convention
held In June.

THE PARDON OF BOWEN, THE
BIGAMTST.

Although no Oregon newspaper has
had sufficient temerity to applaud
President Grant for his disgraceful
pardon of the Congressional carpet
bag bigamist. Bowen, yet several
prominent Eastern Radical journals
are at present engaged in defending
the course of the Executive in this
matter.
Perhaps there never was more
fagrant outrage perpetrated by a
Presidentagainst law and justice than
the pardon of this man Bowen, aud
all lovers of right ought to denounce
the act in unmeasured terms. Not
withstanding Bowen's conviction was
obtained after a fair, thorough and
searching investigation, pending
which he was defended by the ablest
counsel which Grants money and
influence could command, it soon
became apparent that the law would
not be permitted to take its course,
but that the President would depart
from his high position and descend
with his executive authority to the
level of this hardened criminal, and
rescue him from the just penalty of a
felon's doom. And now q vicious
Radical press attempts to defend and
vindicate the President in his villain
GUS act. How any journal having
claims to morality, and entertaining a
decent regard for the sanctity of the
marriage tie, can endorse the pardon
of this wholesale bigamist and lech-
erous villain is Eeyond our ken, and
those papers that do this thing ought
be cried out of every respectable
household in the land.
There is not scintilla of mitigat-
ing testimony in his case. He was a
man of Puritanical education, law
yer by profession, and with at least
sufficient sense to understand the
glaring enormity of his crime against
society, against decency and against
humanity. In his capacity of pub
lie officer he had sworn to uphold,
defend and abide by the laws of his
country, and yet he violated one OF
those laws in the most fragrant man.
ner possible. He was, therefore,
guilty of perjury as well as bigamy,
and should be made to pass the rest
Of his days in a felon's cell for his
double crime. His crime was wholly
inexcusable-wasa a black and Infamous
one-and Grant has made himself q
party to it by relieving him from its
penalty. We only ask a candid judg-
ment upon this matter, and we leave
it to every honest Republican, every
fair-minded man, and every we'll
wisher of society if the conduct of the
President and his friends in white
washing this foul villain with the
color of Executive clemency is not a
fit subject for reproach, and an act SC
utterly reprehensible as to demand
the united execration of the civilized
world.

1NHARMoNIoUs RADICALS.

We repeat no idle tale when we
assert that the Radical party shows
unmistakable signs of dissolution. In
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Utah, Indi-
ana, as we'll as New York State, there
is q scramble for the ins to keep in
and the outs to get in. Grants un-
fair and partial distribution of patron
age is now having its bad results, and
Grant is the very rock that tho Radi-
cal hulk will split upon. There is
very little doubt of his re-nomina-
ton, and then the wool will fly in the
Republican camps. for thousands OF
that party positively assert that they
will not support him if he succeeds in
securing the nomination.
The New York Sun, one of the
leading Radical papers of the East,
asserts that no honest and intelligent
man can vote for Grant. aud pledges
its utmost efforts in securing his de.
feat.
The Terra Haute (Ind.) Gazette
says:
/" We have been Republican as
long as there has been q Republican
party. and we will not vote for his
nomination, nor for him if nomi-
mated"
Says Tilton:
"A denomination of Grant would
be so injudicious that it ought to be
no longer discussed"
Senator Carpenter eulogizes Grant
at West Point, and the Tribune thus
snubs him:
CA Senator who deliberately com
mits a penitentiary offense, might
await his own pardon before intrud
ing himself as moral teacher OIL
younger and less guilty men,"
The Springfield Republican says:
"The Republican party is marching
to Big Bethel defeat"
The Republican press are firing ho
shot into each other constantly, and
each no doubt tells the truth abou
the other. 1t is nice happy family.
Honest men are leaving it daily. fol
the radical leaders are seen now u.
Dom Piatt sees them. He says:
"They steal with a grace, defraut
with blessings. and when they ris,
they say, In the name of God let III
rob somebody"

THE Marysville Appeal positively
asseverates that there is not "true
bluen old line Democrat on the State
ticket of California; whereas the San
Francisco Cysronicle-another Radical
paper-as earnestly insists that there
is not a War Democrat on the ticket,

both statements are untrue and that

A SIGNIFICANT AND FLATTERIGG
ENDORSEMENT.

On the 18th inst. the Yonng Me-
chanics' Club of Sacramento, en-
bracing members OF both political
parties. adopted a series Of resolu-
tons denouncins the Radical ticket
in that State, and heartily endorsing
the Democratic nominees. Follow
ing are the last three resolutions of
the series:
Fifth-That we find that the Dem
ocratic party has been the enemy of
monopolies, and in all ways has been
ready to support and urge measures
for the elevation of the laboring pop
ulation and the amelioration of their
condition, and in proof of these facts
we point to the legislation in this
State during the past three years,
viz: Reducing the hours of labor,
requiring public work TO be done by
the day, passage of laws endeavofing
to restrict Chinese immigration, the
reduction in the rate of taxation from
81 13 to Sc cents on each 500 of
property, the reduction of the State
debt by over $4,000, COO, notwith-
standing that the School Fund has
been increased and large sums of
money have been iudiciously expend-
ed upon public buildings, thereby
giving work to hundreds of working
men, who needed it; the tide lands
have been rescued from the hands OF
speculators; special franchise legisla-
ton successfully checked by Demo-
cratic Governor, and successful
opposition made to any taxation OF
the people for the benefit of railroad
or other private corporations, besides
other useful reforms; and in consid-
Grafton of all these things, and believ-
ing that parties should be judged by
their acts, wa recognize the Demo
cratic party as q friend of the work
ing population, and feel full conf
dence that they will respect their
future pledges and professions, as
expressed in their platform, with the
same zeal and fidelity which has char
acterized their actions in the past.
Sixth-That we recognize in the
caudludISs uOmlDdueu Dy Ine DefnOc-
racy OF this State, for the several
positions of State and county officers,
gentlemen, many of whom have been
tried and have heretofore proven
themselves eminently qualified for
the positions for which they are now
nominated; and we believe them to be
earnest sympathizers with the welfare
of our laboring population; and we
heartily indorse each of the candi.
dates on the Democratic State and
county tickets, and each and every
member of this association pledges
himself to support the entire ticket
and to work vigorously for its sue
cess.
Seventh-That these resolutions bt
printed and copies thereof forwarded
to all the Labor Associations and In
dustrial Reformers throughout the
State; and such associations are here
by earnestly requested to cooperate
with US in all the matters herein Sc
forth.
