Gen. Grant is reported to be mourn

extend the Ku Klux Act and give him
the power to suspend the habeas corpus

North Carolina election by arresting,
under the charge Of being members Of
the Ku Klux organization, all who op-
posed the Administration State ticket.

County Affairs.

The present financial condition of our
County demands the serious considera-
ton of every good citizen. Less than
ten years ago it was entirely free from
debt. Since that time it has constantly
and rapidly increased in population,
wealth and Importance until it now ranks
among the foremost in the Territory
And what is our financial condition
For the enormous taxes we have paid,
we have, what A few impractical roads
and two small bridges together with a
Jail (not yet paid for) which a late Grand
Jury reported as ont of repair. must
not omit noticing the report Of the Sc
lect Committee Of the same Grand Jury,
composed of shrewd fnancier, sharp
merchant and an honest farmer, who
discovered a splendid set of books, nice
ly ruled and kept secmdun, arten. by a
very gentlemanly and communicative
Auditor. who explained to them all the
intricacies of bookkeeping so clearly
that in an examination of only seventeen
and one-half minutes they discovered
that everything was correct, while to
have verified the same work would have
taken competent accountant at least q
calendar month.
Tn o11it,nr, t0 %ho 1,ofo,o
impossible roads, bridges. dilapidated
Jail and splendidly ruled books with
"checks" and safeguards" attached,
we have an interest-bearing debt of from
$4,000 to $4,000 and large delin-
quent tax list which if collected might
lessen some ones chances for continu-
ance in Office.
With such state of affairs is it strange
that taxpayer should complain. and
should ask that those who for years have
controlled the public purse. who are u.s.
ing every means they can invent to Sc
cure reelection, and who only two
years since abJecfly begged for only

a taxpayer should want them to wait

~ We have received too late for
this week, the very able opinion Of the
Register and Receiver at Olympia, in
the Maynard Donation case. These Of
6cers have issued a certificate for the
east half to Lydia A. Maynard, and for
the west half to David S. The Attorney
of the former has accepted the certii-
cate and declined to appeal. The At
torney for the claimants under the Sec
ond wife has gone to Washington in the
hope of defeating Lydia's claim, and
procuring patent for the west half.
There is possible contingency which
may be forced, unless caution is used.
and that is, that a patent will issue to
the wife and none to the husband; and
the precise steps seem to be taken to
secure such q result.

Political Degeneracy.

For many years past there has been
in both political parties downward
tendency the standard Of official capaci-
ty. "Is he honest? Is he capable?" are
no longer test qsestions in the selection
of candidates for the most important po-
sitions. The questions now are, 'Is he
available?" "What personal interests
will he subservc?" Oregon, which won
an unenviable notoriety for the low
character of its journalism, maintains its
reputation by having reached the
lowest depth of political degeneracy.
The Democratic Convention of that
State, which met at The Dalles last week
nominated John W. Burnett for Con-
gress. As citizen, in his own limited
sphere in life, Mr.. Burnett is unexcep-
tlonable. As representative in Con-
gress of State of the coming impor-
tance and large interests of Oregon, he
would be simply nOaentity, shame
and disgrace to the intelligence Of the
people of that State. Any intelligent
man in the State, who had important
business to transact in Washington,
world never dream of selecting him as
an attorney to attend tosuch business,
or either of the three others who entered
the convention as competitors for the
nomination.
1t has come to this, that men are Sc
lected by party Conventions for the
highest Offices in the land. who have
not the capacity to achieve distinction
or credit in the ordinary avocations of
life. Mr.. Burnett has grown up to man
hood in rural district of Oregon. whore
he has enjoyed few advantages Of edu,
cation and but very limited intercourse
with men from whom he would be like
" to learn much which would tit him
for the important trust of member of
Congress. Of the conventionalities of
refined society be is almost totally igno.

Editor Dispatch The times are fear
fully shaky hereabouts just now. A
heavy shock of earthquake occurred
here at about quarter past two o'clock
on the morning of the 26th and followed
by lighter ones up to five o'clock this
morning. From the first shock at a
quarter past two up to six the shocks
were repeated at intervals of only few
minutes. but since, their OCCURRENCE has
been less frequent. 1 never witnessed
such tremendous shaking of the old
foot-stool" in my life before. The
night was perfectly clear and calm. with
the full moon on guard, but failing to
alarm us of he impending phenomenon
and it stole upon us like thief, soaring
many persons sadly. So far as have
been able to learn of its effects not much
damage outside of very bad scare has
been done. It is said to have been much
Tighter on the coast than in the interior,
and more severe in the valley ofthe Sac
ramento than in that Of the San Joa-
quin. Usually it is the reverse of this
our fits of earthquake are more severe
along the coast line. Why it was tho't
that the valley of the Sacramento deserv-
ed to be shook harder than that of the
San Joaquin is sort of q,,ien sabe ques-
ton at present but it is supposed by
many that it was done to scare the Cali
fornia Legislature away from the Capt.
tai. That the Legislature was doing
more foolish than wise things, more
evil than good, is not to be questioned,
and it may be that Providence was "sort
O. coming down" on it, on account 4
its iniquitous doings. Providence knows
just as well as you and I, Mr.. Editor,
that Legislatures, as general rule, are
villainous congregations, but little above
common nuisance, and well deserve to
be shaken into disintegration. If such
was the object of the hard shake at Sac
ramento the people at large will accept
it with much pleasure.
Previous to the debut Of the earth
quake convulsions above spoken of, our
weather had approached to degree of
dryness that alarmed TIE agriculturists
in the drier parts of the State with fear
of another dry season and consequent
failure of crops. But beautiful rain
has succeeded the shakes and the agri-
cultural prospects are bright again.
With continuance of favorable wealth
er the "nine digits" will not be compe-
tent to give the number of bushels of
our grain products of the passing year.
Many farmers fear they will not be able
to harvest their wheat and other grain
crops in season for the want of n sufi-
cient harvesting force. Good hands for
the harvest work are by no means plen-
tiful, and such will be in great demand
in the grain-cutting season this year in
California.
Political matters in the Eureka"
State, as well as throughout the whole
country are in a confused and well nigh
, 1872-04-18

rant, and in the social intercourse
which the Office to which he aspires
would necessarily force upon him, he
would be entirely out of his depth and
consequently without influence.
The Republican nominee, Mr.. Wilson.
is not great man, but would make by
far the most respectable Representative,
and when it comes to the alternative be-
tween State interests and party feeling,
the former should dominate.

inseperable state. The ensuing Presi-
dental race bids fair to be one of funusu-
al excitement and interest. Many en-
tries will be made and the candidates
sharply contested. There is fun ahead.
l am not much given to the turf, but II
will bet my money on the bob-tailed
nag," if there be any. Bob-tails are
winning animals in these degenerate
times. What we are coming to, politl-
cally one of these days, I am not able
now exactly to tell. The great change
that has taken place in the political SEN
timent of the country within the past
dozen years bodies no good to our free
institutions. The war seems to have
demoralized the people and generated a
tyranical and overbearing spirit among
them. We were once u people of iEteg-
rity, but we can hardly claim to be such
now on any score. We are neither
sound ON the goose nor the gander.-
There are sharp and dangerous snags in
the political river we are now sailing on
and if We are not careful, some of them
will punch big hole in the bottom of
our craft and down we go. Let us stand
firmly by the helm and steer clear of
them if possible. Pardon my specula-
tions in this paragraph contained. I
claim not to be prophet nor the son
OF one, in matters political. "SinkS or
swim, survive or PERISH" let the ship
of State be officered, manned and navi-
gated by the people.
