AccIDENTs.-On Monday last the meat
cart of Harry Sullivan was upset on one of
the new streets in the upper part Of town,
and his horse killed by falling into IA
vine by the roadside. The next day, the
adage that troubles never come sinsly"
was verified in Harry being kicked by the
horse he had substituted, which proved to
be extremely vicious. Despite these mis-
fortunes, however, Mr.. Sullivan fills his
orders for meat with his customary pune.

~ And when they had seen the backs
oi their garments that they were clean,
they were covered with shame, and Mar
shall the headstroug knew that there were
but twelve among them all who had aot
known the emmissaries of Selucius the
babblcr.
30. And he said unto them, Wo unto
you Scribes and Pharisces, hypocrites for
yc are like unto whited sepulchres, which
indeed appear beautiful outward, but arc
within full of dead mems bones, and of all
uncleanncss.
81. SEEING that one who was near him
had let fall from his garment parchment,
Marshall the headstrong took it up and
read it. That it was promise from Pc
troleum the drummer that Sclucius the
babblcr should raise up him that had let
it fall to be chief tyrant in Alki over the
lost tribes of Ishmacl.
81. And when he had read it he held
up the parchment in his hand and said let
him to whom Petroleum has promised
that his master shall make him chief ty-
rant over the lost tribes of Ishmael, raise
up and receive his parchment which he
has lost from his garment.
33. And Of the captains that were as
sembled three and twenty rose up and pus
forth their hands to receive it.
81. And when Marshall the headstronr
had said unto them, how shall | know
which one Of you is the true owner of the
parchment and which are imposters, they
were clamorous, and spake hi Oh words and
jostled each other.
IS. And seeing the pit into which these
three and twenty had fallen, the others be.
gan to question those that were near them
what they were to receive from Selucius,
the babbler
3G. And among them there were FIVE
and twenty who claimed to be Jud ges
Two and twenty who were to be governors of
Alki. Thirty were to be Gatherers Of tax
es, and fifteen were to be dcliverers Of
parchmcnts in Chitwoot.
81. And there was much contention,
back biting and elimination among those
claimed to be governors, judges, tax-gath-
erers, and delivcrcrs Of parchment, and
they would have fell to with their slaves
and put heads upon each other, had not
Marshall the hcads'ropg silcnced them.
SO. And when they were silcnccd, VIII
liam, the sanguine, being one of the twelve
who had not known the cmmissaries of Sc
lucius, the babbler, spoke unto them say
ing, Much vanity and love Of high sound
ing titles hath wrought this folly in Chit
woot. Verify, l say unto you, if there
were more soldiers and fewer generals, and
| captains, and governors, among you, it
| would be worse for those who arc en-
trcnchcd against us.
80. Hearing these words, that they
were full Of wisdom, and seeing how they
had been delivered. the captains that were
in council struck hands, and swear that
they would put away their folly, that Sclu-
cius, the babbler, aud they that were with
him might perish.
40. And every man went straight way
unto his own tent.

THEIR ONLY HOPE OF SALVATION
In reply to our assertion that tue nomina-
ton of Judge McFaddeu probably had a
great deal to do with the final passage of
the bill postponius the election the Cour-
ter says:
"Judge McFadden did accept the nomina-
ton of the Democrats in Olympia very reluc-
family, and conditionally; but when? Why,
on the eighth dry Of May, tie rery day that the
Senate in Washington finally passed the bill.
Our contemporary, from his prodigal use
of italic, evidently thinks his last sentence
a clincher, but it is not We know more
about the matter than the official clique
imagine. On the evening Of the 9TH,
Judge McFadden decided to accept the
nomination, on the morning of the 9Th,
Ferry Beach T. Co., employed the tele
graph for hours in the transmission of
messages to prominent Senators asking the
passage of the bill, as the only possible
means of salvation for Garfe!de. Will the
Courier deny this?

a RADICAL REFRAIN.

lhe hrst ode OF the campaign is given
below, and if the advice of the poet is fol.
lowed, it will be the last occasion for an
effort to clothe with the grace Of poesy so
unit and uncouth subject as Graut aud
his Relations. The stanzas are truthful,
candid, pathetic; they possess the true
ring Of genius, and spark from the torch
OF Prometheus seintillates throughout their
measured ry,hm.
1fit would not be asking too great ia.
vor, we would suggest that General
Ferry set the ode to new air aud per.
form it with the variations on his organ,
Beach would doubtless chime 10 on chorus,
and that, as Mrs. Duniway would say,
would be splendid:
AIR" Dear Father, Come Home"
Hiram Ulysses, come back to your dad.
For the clock in the steeple strikes two,
Dan domingo :" gone up and the Dents have

more;
The Methodist Conference won't paw:
There's the ugliest news from the Ohio shore,
And in short there's the dickens to nav
Come home, come home, come home
Sweet Hiram Ulysses, come home
Don Hamilton Queer Fish is floundering out

THE OREGON SENAroRsurp-A nr;vot

The OREGON SENAToRsHIP-Apri private
letter from Salem says that it is not i'm.
probable that DR.. E. r. Greary may carry
off the prize, there being Greeley ele-
ment in the contest and every probability
that the conservative element will unite
upon him. Mr.. Geary is an honest and
fearless advocate of measures he believes
to be right and cannot be swcrved from the
path Of duty by mere partisan consdera-
tons. So the supposed victory of the
Grant party is likely after all to prove a
myth.

REPUBLICAN SYMPATHY

1t is amusing TO witness the iribnIation
of the Courier when il contempla,es the
possibility Of Democratic endorsement of
the Cincinnati nominations. Nor is it
alone in its anguish. The ADMINISTRATION
papers all over the country shsre in gloomy
missiviugs as to the result Of such meas.
ure. They have ceased cursing Democrats,
have laid aside the stereo'yped epithets
always at their tongues end, aud resort to
pitcous appeals. The very men who a
few months ago were sDecringly tainted
with being Kuklux sympathizers and
members Of a dead party are now dignifed
into the honest masses, and glowing eulo.
gies are written upon their proverbial
! consistency! They are urged by these
new-found friends to adhere to their cher.
ishcd belief, the creed of lifetime. Now
that is just what the Democracy propose
to do. The preamble and resolutions of
the Cincinnati Platform, embrace 10 re-
markable degree the principles for which
the Democracy have contcnded since the
days of Jefferson, and the exceptions are
upon questions Of recent origin. The
spirit of those principles is preserved and
re-assertcd, and the candidates of the con.
vention manifest no less decided hostility
to the usurpations, the extravagances and
the corruptions of the Administration than
is held by life. long Democrats themselves.
The nominees are conceded to be both
honest and capable, the only qualifications
demanded by party, controlled simply by
an adherence to "principes, and not
men,"
1t is not at all surprising, that largo
element of the party is in favor of ratify.
ing the nominations of the Liberal Re.
publican" Convention. When such pure
minded aud patriotic statesmen as Gov.
Seymour signify willingness to forget the
personal and political wrongs suffered at
hands of the N. Y. Tribune and its editor,
and declares that the election of Greeley
"will be preservative step toward local
neighborhood government, and will stop
the course Of overbearing federalism" the
party cannot so far astray in accepting
course that will lead to inevitable success.
Hon. Benjamin Wood, in recent letter
declares that the Grant men have already
used large amounts Of money to prevent
the Democracy from endorsing Greeley.
IF they are successful Grant will rule as
long as lie Hves, even if it be for twenty
years" The we'll known political standing
of Mr.. Wood gives peculiar significance
to these words. There is danger that his
prophesy may come true, if the party per-
sists in grasping for shadow Instead of
the substance; if it follows the disinter.
ested advice of the Administration journals
which insist that it is the duty of the De-
mocracy to make nominations.

TRUMBULL ON GARFIELDE.-Whle the
Courier is engaged in writing up Garfelde,
we hope it will not neglect to publish the
letter of Hon. Lyman Trumbull to Allen
Francis, Esq, of Victoria, in which that
gentleman expresses very free and unbi-
ased opinion of the character of our Dele.
gate and his standing at Washington. We
don't want to steal the Courier's thunder,
or we might publish it in the STANDARD,

OFFICE. HOLDERS RATIFICATIoN.-.The
proceedings of the Philadelphia Conven,
ton were singularly deficient in enthusiasm.
Beyond the mere statement of main facts
incident thereto nothing has been tele.
graphed to this coast. The Platform even
is compressed into the announcement that
it embraces the well-dcincd principles of
the party" There has been no such
demonstrations of popular feeling as usu.
ally accompany the nomination of candi-
date for the Chief Mayistracy. Poor COL
fax is laid OH the shelf, after all the buster
in his favor, simply because the Office
holders dared not ignore the one-term
principle, except to retain their master.
With him and them it is live or die, sink
or swim, rule or ruin.
