THE Governor of the District of
Columbia has called meeting of all
the leading citizens TO make arrange
ments for the Inauguration ceremo-
mics on the 4th day of March
Among the "leading citizens" who ex-
pect to attend are colored members
OF the Legislature and other Office
holders in the District, who, accord
ing to the Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald, "have a
social standing which will entitle them
to participate in the festivities of the
occasion" Among the Festivities"
will be the inaugural ball at the
White House. Four years ago the
colored citizens consented to remain
in the background. The whirligig of
time has brought about many changes.
This year the elite of colored society
in Washington will doubtless attend
the ball. What then?

THE PORTLAND CONFEDERATION.
Last Sabbath Portland was visite,

Last Sabbath Portland was visited
by the most disastrous fire which ever
occurred in Oregon. The FIRE started
in the rear of Chin ese wash house
on the river side of Front street, near
the Morrison street wharf. The Chi
namen were boiling tar to caulk the
floor of their house, to make it carry
off water to the rear. A kettle of tar
was spilled, the contents took fire, and
thus started the great conflagration.
The alarm was sounded about half
past nine A. N. The fire department
was promptly out, but their efforts to
stay the fire were for two hours un-
availing. 1t pursued its way north
ward, or down the river, burning
everything on the east side of Front
street, from Morrison to Washington
street, the length of two blocks. Be-
tween Morrison and Alder, and near
ly opposite where the fire started, it
communicated to the wooden build
ings on the west side of Front street
All the buildings of that block, front
ing on Front street, except Vaughn's
occupied by Hyman Bros.) standing
on the corner of Morrison. were de-
stroyed. with nearly all their contents.
The confagration was stopped here.
The Occidental Hotel was damaged
in the rear, but the main building was
saved. Several buildings of this block
fronting on First street, were dam
aged. The owners all met with losses
by moving out. This was also the
case with many who occupied build
ings in the adjoining blocks; fer at
one time it was the general judgment
that the entire business portion of the
city north of Morrison street, must GO
down before the raging condagration.
Fortunately, the wind suddenly
veered round from South to
North, and the further spread of the
flames down the river was stopped
Some thirty buildings were burned,
among which were some of the finest
in the city. Over seventy-five busi-
ness and manufacturing establish
ments of various kinds were destroy
ed, and much stock was greatly dam
aged by being moved from buildings
which were subsequently saved. The
total loss is estimated at half a million
dollars, with an insurance of about
100000. Many of Portland's most
energetic business men are almost
ruined.

A JUST REBCkE.

Simon Cameron, the Pennsylvania
Radical Senator who prevented the
United States Senate from adjourning
over in respect to the memory oi
Horace Greeley, is thus fittingly re-
buked by Forney's Philadelphia
Press at will not be recorded to
the credit of the present Republican
United States Senate that while Re-
publican President, General Grant,
was attending the funeral of his dead
competitor, a partisan majority in
that same Senate refused to allow two
Republicans the poor privilege of
saying some kind words in honor of
a journalist who did more for the Re-
publican cause than all the leaders in
this ineffable meanness could haze
done had they lived uncounted Gen.
turies. The Republicans of the
House took a manlier course when
they refused to accept the resignation
of General Banks, and when they gen.
erosly allowed Mr.. Dawes TO speak
some words fo- Horace Greeley. Is
our Senate about 10 assume entire
possession of the Government? Is a
temporary majority OF that body pre-
pairing to fulfil the prophecy of John
Adams, when he substantially said the
Senate would ultimately control the
Executive and the popular branch of
Congress The remoseless removal
of Liberal Republicans from the
standing committees, in the face of
President Grants magnanimous ex-
ample, and the offensive refusal to al
low a few kind words to be said for
Horace Greeley, remind US of the
reckless prescription of the dark pro-
slavery times. Our Senatorial mas
tiers are sowing a storm that may close
in a whirlwind."

THE MoDoc WAR.-The San Fran
cisco Chronicle takes this view of the
situation: Our correspondence from
the scene of Indian hostilities in the
north is becoming daily more inter-
esting, and we are beginning to get
clear understanding OF the cause of
the difficulty. 1t is the old story of
the greed of Agents and injustice
done the Indians, deprived of their
hunting and fishing grounds, driven
to ill-proyided Reservations, starved
while there, robbed and plundered by
officials, furnished with liquor which
crazes and maddens them, imposed
upon by class of brutal frontiers
men, their squaws debauched, their
children murdered, till they are driven
to the destruction of armed resistance.
If innocent men and women did not
suffer, our sympathy would be with
the ill-used and suffering Indian.

THE STATE RIGHTS DEMOCRAT
comes to us this week dressed in
mourning for the death of one of AL
bany's best citizens, Mr. N. HI. Cra-
nor. We feel like mourning with those
that mourn on this occasion. We were
acquainted with this Honorable gen
tlenan personally. He was a kind
hearted husband and father, his genial
disposition made him good and COM
panionable friend, he was a good citi-
zen, and an honest man, and a mem
Der of the most important and honor
able profession known to civilization;
and greater tribute than all else, h e
ranked high in that profession. We
sincerely sympathize with the friends
he hes left.-Dallas Liberal RepubH-

rnE posrAI rrLEcnApH SYSTEM.

The President has seen fit to inject
into his long -winded message a sug-
gestion to Congress to acquire the
title to the telegraph of the country
tor use in the U. S. postal service
As well might the government take
possession of all the railroads or all
the newspapers, or seek to control any
other great interest, as TO seize upon
the telegraph lines. When our gov
ernment once begins to monopolize
important interests and set up busi-
ness in telegraphing or in anything
else, when and where will it stop p
But the adoption of such measure
would be simply carrying into effect
measures which have long since been
foreshadowed under the reign of the
ruling party, and that is tendency
to the centralization of power in the
hands of a few. This tendency we

ability, whether its hydra head ap-
pears in the monopolizing of the tele-
graph business by the government, or
the. consolidation of railroads and
other great interests by INSCRIPTIONS
and soulless spectators. All such
measures are against the interests and
liberties of the people in whose hands
all power should be held. If for no
other reason, the recommendation in
relation to the telegraphs should not
be carried into effect, for the fact that
such a measure would add at least
fifty thousand office-holders to the al
ready large list of dependents upon
government patronage. But it is the
principle of the measures that we OBJ
ject to mainly. 1t is wrong in prin-
ciple and would be oppressive in Its
operations.

IT is evident that Congress is dis
posed to legislate upon the subject of
the Presidential office and election.
A number of bills and resolutions
have been introduced in both houses
on the subject. That of Mr. Banks
is the most comprehensive, and would
be favorably received by the people.
1t enforces the one term principle,
but extends the term from four to six
years, and abolishes the absurdity of
the Electoral College.
