BECOMING HOMOGENEOUS.

We notice that the Oregossia,', in
backing out of a false insinuation
against the State officers, goes back to
the old tune, that somebody else is Gov
ernor. Now we will say to Scott
that this thing is getting monotonous.
There is not man in Oregon OF
more original and independent mind
than Governor Grover. Not only
this, but there is clearness and con-
clusiveness in the Governors speaking
and writing which belong to him alone
aud to no one else among us. Who has
ever answered any of his messages p
They are all as much the law of the
land now as statute. Though these
messages were upon subjects of deep
Importance, and when delivered,
found the most prominent men of the
State differing on them, who will
stand up before the people now and
say that the Constitution and laws
have not been rightly construed and
enforced by the Governor We
have not a more selfrelient man in
Oregon, and if the Radical press dc
not understand this matter, the peo'
pie do. The present State officers
are not men of pretense and noise,
but men of work and results, as will
appear when they make their account
to the people.

".DIVoRoEs-FIAT JUsTITIA.n

The Kalama Beacon, in denying
that the advent and teachings of Su-
san b. Anthony is the cause of the ex-
traordinary increase of divorces in
Oregon this fall, says: "This domestic
Generalization appears to heye been
stimulated by that provision of the
"Donation Aetn which conferred a
section of land on family" one half
to the wife, while single person was
entitled to only half the amount. The
effect was, that the land premium of
a. half section was a constant matri-
monial temptation to the female OF
any age, and marriages were contract
ed, in hundreds of instances, of the
most ill-assorted character-violating
social sdecency, where sexagenarians
united to females of dozen years,
and boys married to women of a
grandmother age"
The Beacon refers to the divorce
suits in Linn county at our late term
of Court, and ascribes them to i'll
assorted marriages at the time of the
donation Fever" Now we know
that this is mistake. Not a single
marriage which was dissolved in our
Court last month had been contracted
for the procurement of land under the
Donation Act. And we presume if
the divorce cases were looked into
which occurred in Multnomah and
other counties the same state of facts
would be discovered.
While we admit that many mar
riages for convenience and specula-
ton were made in the early days of
Oregon's history, and that many such
were fruitful of evil, yet we believe
that the twenty years which have
elapsed since that time have almost
wholly eradicated the results of those
days OF Hymenial. wantonness, and
that the yet existing marital relations
of those of our pioneers who were
united at that time are as fruitful of
good results and conjugal content
ment as is usual in the domestic cir
cles of older countries. When the
Beacon attempts to "vindicate the
truth of history" by Eliminating a
el upon those hardy pioneers who
aSerifced the comfort and ease of an
Eastern home and periled life by
vending their weary journey to this
then remote and almost unknown
country, where their industry has
literally made the forests echo with
the busy haunts of commerce and the
vallies blossom as the rose," it un-
dertakes a task which will be scanti-
ly appreciated by its Pacific coast
readers. 1t is but charitable to pre-
sumo that II the Beacon editors were
older inhabitants of this coast and
had mingled more with our people
and thus had gained a better knowl-
edge Of their domestic relations, the
ntterances in the paragraph quoted
above would not have been made.

SLOPPY EFFUSIVEEEsS.

The great suspense is over, and
brand Duke Alexis, the Prussian
Prince and cub bear of the Baltic, has
arrived, and was received at Gotham
by the booming cannon, futtering
flags, bristling bayonets, and all the
other m;micry of war and snobblish
pageantry, After being paraded
through the streets of the Metropolis,
during which time he threw many
kisses at the American beauties and
muchly bent his spinal curvature by
bowing to the servile populace, he
was Gagged at the Clarendon Hotel
and bored tea state of semi insanity by
the newspaper reporters. After be-
ing permitted breathing spell of a
few hours he was thrust into the cars
and whisked off to Washington.
where he was again received with
sounding brass and tinkling GYM
balls and all the other coBconlitant in
fictions of our red-tape government.
at the Executive mansion he was
met by Grant in the green room, was
presented to Mrs. Grant in the red
room, was permitted to kiss the little
Grants in the yaller room, was mar
shalled before the chamber-maids in
the black room, interviewed Grants
dogs in the white kennel and inspect
ed Grants houses in the marble sta
bic. At last advices he was being
rubbed down and polished up for
New York ball, where doubtless the
fair American damsels will be graft
fed by many hug from his Imperi-
al Bearness.
However, it is nothing more than
natural that representative of the
most despotic civilized government
under the sun should be SO effusively
carressed and beslobbered by a peo-
pie who keep an ignorant despot in
power in our land and tamely lick the
bonds that daily fetters their liberties.

GRANT AND THE KU-KLUX.

From the following dispatch re-
Gently sent flom Washington to the
Savannah (Ga.) Ne,cs, it is positively
evident that deep and wicked plot
is being developed for the particular
purpose of Radicalizing the South in
time for the elections in November,
1872.
Prominent members of the Admin
istration decided yesterday that civil
and military arrangements should be
perfected for the wholesale arrest of
members of the so-called Ku-Klux-
klan, and the country need not,
therefore, be surprised If the recent
proclamation of the President should
be followed by the arrest of well
known Southern men. This course
seems to have been rendered imper-
ative by the result of the Texas cleo
ton. Grant is actually stunned by
the announcement of thirty thousand
Democratic majority in the State, and
despairing of carrying the Southern
States by fair means, has resolved to
carry them by any merns; and SO in
few days, the New Rebellion-this
time of the Federal Governme,.t
against the South, will be begun. It
was well known at the White House,
when the recent proclamation was is
sued, that five days was insufficient to
spread it over the counties in South
Carolina, therein named, and there
is hardly any doubt that martial law
will be declared in that section before
one-third of the citizens ever beard
of the warning. This is sufficient
to stamp the whole thing as a base
political trick to get control of the
Southern States by intimidation.
The New York Sun of recent date
says: 1.-THE proclamation of Gener-
al Grant declaring the authorities of
South Carolina unable TO protect the
people in their rights, is probably on
~ preliminary to the act Of placing
the State under martial law, with
series of whole sale arrests under
the provisions of the Ku-Klux bill.
The weight of evidence is entirely
against the supposition that there is
any necessity for this action, except
for the success of his own selfish
ends. General Grant wishes it to be
believed that South Carolina it in a
state of anarchy, and by availing
himself of the despotic power which
has been conferred upon him by un-
constitutional legislation, he expects
to mislead the public in regard to the
situation in South Carolina, and what
is now doing in the South, may yet
be done in the North, under the pro-
visions of the same law which auth
orizes President Grant to proclaim
himself an absolute Dictator at his
own discretion, whenever and where
soever, within the United States, he
may see fit to do So"

GEN. GRANT is a speculator as well
as a peculator. He has for several
years owned an interest in the Seneca
Stone Mines, but as the thing has all
along been losing investment, he a
few days ago managed to fix things
SO that the Seneca Stone Company
should receive fat contract to fur
nish stone for Government stables
at Washington flor Grants fast
horses , and.will now sell his interest
in the Stone concern at lively figure.
