financial policy Of the party. Briefly,
his basis for the financial policy is
that the Government shall furnish
NIL the money for the people in an
issue that shall be legal tender ten
der equally with coin, except where
contract expressly calls for specie
that this issue shall be employed to
redeem fye-twenty bonds that to
prevent undue expansion. three per
cent. bonds shall be issued into which
legal tenders may be converted, which
shall be exchanged at par for legal
tenders. He claims, in behalf of this
currency, that it win be legal ten
der in every sense OF the term, being
receivable for taxes imports and 9TH
er duties; that it win be staple cur
rency, having this advantage over a
currency redeemab1e in gold-since
the latter is subject to variations on
account of export Of specie to meet
foreign balances--tbat it will be elas-
tic, bonds being copveIte into cur
rency to meet the demands of trade,
and that it will establish moderate
and uniform rate of interest.

AN INFAMOUS LAW.

There are nearly ten thousand vet
Grams of the war of 1872 who are ex-
cluded from receiving q pension under
the recent act of Congress. They
live in the South and cannot swear
that they didn't sympathize with their
people during the late civil strife
Can there be anything meaner con-
ceived by even Radical Conrgess-
man than to refuse to grant a pittance
to those white-haired, venerable pat
riots who offered their lives as a shield
between our'country and the invad-
ing foe during the early days of our
struggling Republic, simply for sym
pathizing with their children and
their children's causeg
The law provides that the pension
claimant must not only show that he
was loyal during the late war, but
his two witnesses to prove his loyalty
must also bring witnesses to prove
! that they were loyal during the war
and of course these witnesses must be
loyal, too, and so on. dd nffnit,mt-
Thus the aged veteran must literally
be encompassed about with cloud
o.e"loil" witnesses, which would prob
.bly be almost an impossibility in
, |. NY cases, even though the elaiman,
I'd. been eminently loyal to the Radi
"a party and the Government lwhile
III che people around him wers il

Of, he "late onpleasantness."
L is probably entirely consistent
for he Radical party, after it has
.rusI I'd out all free State govern
ment in the South, and oppressed the
youn /: men of that sunny land who
were al Ole to take part in the late war
to tur, The guillotine of oppression up
ON the, rperanuated veterans ofthe wal

GRAND POw-WoW. - There ha S
been for the past two weeks a grand
council at the Umatilla Indian Agency,
between the chiefs of that tribe on
the one side and Superintendent
,Meacham, Senator Corbett and Com
missioner Brunot on the other. On
Tuesday, Sth inst, Meachem, Corbett
and Brunot, addressed the Indians,
offering them great inducements to
sell their reservation for the use OF
white settlers and to accept of other
lands which would be given them
We learn from the Statesman that on
Wednesday the principal Indians
spoke in turn, some of them making
quite sensible and eloquent speeches.
They recounted, with decided effect,
all the promises made to them by the
whites that had not been fulfilled, and
seemed well aware of the situation
They say they have visited the :" ILL
heen to which it is proposed to re
move them, and don't feel willing te
be removed. The offers made by
Senator Corbett and Superintendent
Meacham were that all the proceeds
of the sale of their lands should bt
given to them, as well as the new
lands to which it is proposed to re
move them. Mr.. Patton says the In
dams held council in State, drawn il
grand style for the occasion, and the.
maintained their parts with great dig
nifty of demeanor. It is very doubt
ful if they can be induced to remov'

A WORD ABOUT Int DILIGENCE

A WORD ABOUT INT sLLIGESCE.-
A Radical journal n Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania, assumes that Georgia
will probably be Democratic in the
Preside ntial election in 1872 because
of the ignorance OF its people. Of
what is the Radical party in that
State comp osed. The ignorant freed
men make up ninety-nine hundreths
of that organization, and not one out
of twenty of these persons can either
read or write. IN South Carolina the
Radical party is almost exclusively
made up of liberated slaves, not one
out of a hundred of whom can either
read or write. Over the VIII Die South
the Radical party is the gained
representative of ignorance, Us 1t il
of intolerance In the north. Th ere II
no Radical party in the South save
the ignorant freedmen and a .'e"
worthless and corrupt carpet-bagge. s
All the local power of party is veste.
in the hands of those people, and yet
the Radical organs of the north, who
commenced the policy prevalent in
the South, are constantly assuming
that their party embraces all the in
tellige1ce of the land.

HasS ct Congress are discriminating
between poor men and rich m onopo-
lists! How do you like it?
The poor settler has most dismal
prospect. He is thrust beyo nd all
society, unless it be that of the l1ospit-
able ~ Indians, and beyond the hope
of convenient market facilities. Had
the public lands been kept und er the
operation of the Homestead Act the
poor settlers would have soon estab-
lished solid communities alo ag the
border, to which railroads would have
been built, and all that landIess man
would have been compelled to do
would be to pass the line of the last
settler.
Such are the practical workings of
Radical philanthrophy, and it fully il
lustrates the rottenness of Radical
Legislation. Strange indeed if the
better judgement of the intelligent
laboring masses of this country does
not condemn to eternal political infamy
the perpetrators of such hypocritical
outra@es.

osRs1ouNTY Arranks

Elsewhere will be foun1 the official
exhibit Of the County CLERK of Linn
county for the year finding July lst
1871, and we trust our patron,
throughout the cou1ty will peruse i,
carefully, and thus learn to what uses
and purposes theiY taxes are appro
priated by their public servants. We
take special pleasure in presenting
this exhibit to the public, as it is alike
creditable to our officers and to the
Democratic party that elevated them
to official position.
On the lst day of July, 1870, when
the present officials assumed the dis.
charge of their duties, the county in
debtedness, in excess of cash on hand
was S14, ,460.25. This was a reduc-
ton of some $4,000 from the indebt-
edness in July, 1865. During the
past year a contract for building n
county Jail has been entered into at a
cost of 50 $50, and the county indebt
edness is now reported at $4,000
thus showing that if no Jail contract,
had been made the liabilities of the
county would be only s10,450, a re-
d0ction of fo,r thousand dollars from
the indebtedness of last year.
