clares that his name is Colbraith, an
other, Qolbaithe, another. Eastman !;
seeming to be willing to have it any
thing but the one which really belongs
to him. He has, however, made a
name which luckily can withstand all
slings of these would be -annihilators,
and which will be untarnished by any,
thing said by those, who, unable to raise
mortals to the skies, seem disposed to
drag those down, who, through dint of
their energy, have attained an elevated
position. Obscurity Of birth in a
country like ours is no barrier to emf
nence, if the person desiring has the
ability to attain it. The field is open to
all, and as general rule those who
work will win. The filings of calumny
when unsubstantiated by facts, fall
powerless aud the effects generally re-
act upon the slanderer.

The political arena for 1872, perhaps,
presents. a greater variety OF tickets,
parties and candidates than has ever
been presented to the American people.
So far as heard from, we have the fol-
lowing list to report, with the several
parties by which they have been nomi>
mated:
Republcans.-For President, Ulysses
S. Grant, of Illinois; for Vice Presl>
dent, Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts,
Liberal Republican For President,
Horace Greeley, of New York for Vice
President, b. Gratz Brown, of Missouri
Labor Reformation President, Da-
vid Davis, of Illinois; for Vice -Presi
dent, Joel Parker, of New Jersey.
Temperance--For President, James
Black, of Pennsylvania for Vice Pres.
ident, John Russell, of Michigan.
Free Love, Etc.--For President, Vic
toria c. Woodhnll, of New York for
Vice President, Frederick Douglas, of
Washington.
Anh> Secret Societies.-For Presi-
dent, Charles Francis Adams, of Massa-
chusetts for Vice President, Cha rles
L. Howard, OF Illinois.
Candidate's Oath and Pledges.
Thomas A. Davies, of New York, No
Vice President heard from.
HimseI.-For President, George

nobody needed.
This completes the list so far as
heard from, How many more self.
nominating candidates may appear Is
impossible to even conjecture. The
Baltimore Convention will meet nex'
Tuesday to decide whether to put out q

the nominations of the Cincinnati Con,

no force from either OF the other great
parties in that case, the various tickets

One change which is very much
needed in our school law. is one to make
provision for the support of school at
least six months every year. Our pres
ent law compels each district to have at
least three months school, but makes no
provisions for its support, unless ma
jority Of the legal voters shall decide i'll
favor of tax, or in some other way
provide for its maintenance. The di>
rcctors of each district should have the
power to levy n tax for the support OF a
six months school without being CON-
PEELED to take vote on the question
This would obviate all difficulties which
are so common among our country dis
trcts, and give the directors power to
carry out practice which is very
much needed, and which the majority
of the people demand.
In Illinois and many other Eastern
States, this practice has been kept
up for years, the principle being en-
bodied in the law, and everybody ad-
mits it's efficiency and beucfcicnt re-
suits. Under our present law the di>
rectors have no power to adopt amy et-
fective means to carry on school, but
have to be subject to the dictatlon, in
many Instances, OF parties who are un-
interested in schools matters or are op-
posed in principle to the common school
system. Instances are common where
districts have been thrown out of a school
supported as it should be, by taxation
simply through the opposition of one
or two influential individuals who were
not interested in keeping up school,
and lent their influence against it. An
other advantage in provision of this
| kind, it would present to the teacher a
prospect of more regular and steady
employment, and prompt many to fol-
low teaching as profession and qualify
themselves for it, who now only teach
at times when nothing better presents
itself, or when they have nothing else
to do To manage school properly re-
quires hard study and experience, and
Inducements sLonId be offered TO incite
persona to adopt this as a profession or
we can never expect our common school
system to attain that excellence which
the very best interests of the public de-
mand With little attention to this
matter now, the foundation may be laid
for an efficient school system which shall
rebound to the credit Of It's originators,
and prove of immense benefit to the
state.

THE NORTH PACIF1C.--Fr late
Olympia paper we take the following
concerning the North Pacific railroad
"There is rumor on our streets that
the Secretary of the Interior has writ
ten to the directors of the n u. II. Il.
Company, informing them that as soon
as they complete their railroad to the
waters of the Sound at any point, that
will be regarded as their choice of place
for terminus, and they will be proclu.

All about aaOlladay.

We do wish for their own good, aud
the pleasure at least of their readers,
that our leading newspapers would de-
vote more of their space to matters IN
which the people are directly Interested
and not be quarreling over Ben Holla>
day. One side in speaking OF him can
not say too much in his favor; emu
nifcent benefactor, as he has spent
more time and money for the benefit OF
Oregon than any other man IN 1t. "a
man with bushel of brains, as he has
evidenced by the immense amount OF
business which he is constantly carry
ing on; compared to which the Stew
arts, the Vanderbilts, the Astors, the
Goulds, and even the Rothschilds
dwindIe into nsiguifcauce. " An in
comparable phiIanthropist," deyotins
his immense fortune, and the great in
telLect which he possesses to the ad-
vancement Of Oregon, with no hope or
desire for remuneration. These and
other like laudations have filled the
columns Of so,sa. Of our principal pa
pers, until it has become disgusting to
The public. On the other hand, the
opposition are indulging in equally as
absurd inuendoes aud harrangues. He
is called political montebank, an ex
tortioner, an aristocrat, a nan who re-
CARDS nobody's rights but his own pays
no attention to the feelings, desires, in
clinations, but those Of Ben Holiday.
AT one time he is represented as
monied king, running the financial af-
fairs of the State ct his own will aud
pleasure at another, he is bankrupt,
his railroad failure and his entire in
terests in the State not worth picay>
une. Now, we ask in all candor when
is this senseless twaddle going to cease
Ben Holiday has done much to de-
yelop the resources Of the State, but
why has be done it? Was it exclusively
tor philanthropic feelings and SYM
pathy for the people of the State IN
their isolated condition No one would
claim for moment that such was the
fact. He has had tie good fortune to
obtain control of the railroad interests
of this State, which, in common with
oil others, had to be controlled by some>
body, and by the assistance of munifi-
cent grants from the General Govern.
ment, aud liberal private aid, is being
enabled to complete bis enterprises. lie
works for his money and he reaps bis
reward. He has in few instances
shown liberality, as in the donation to
the Sisters School in Portland, for
which he should receive due credit. He
has also, in some instances, shown an
overbearing spirit which should be dis
countenanced his good acts should be
acknowledged, opposite actions censurec
but the press of the State might ind
something more interesting to spend
their time and space upon than to have
it all devoted to Ben Holiday

DECLINED.--The convention of La
bor Reformers, which met at Columbus
Ohio, the 22d of February. nominated
Judge Davis, of Illinois, for the Presls !.
dency. Since the Cincinnati nomina'
tions, Judge Davis resigns bis nomina-
ton, as he says, to leave the friends
who were generous enough to affirm
their voluntary support free to obey
their convictions of duty, unfettered
by any supposed obligation" This may
or may not be an Endorsement of the
Cincinnati nominees, as his friends may
see fit to construe 1t.

Malicious.

The Democratic press of the country
are resortiDg to every means in their
power to prejudice the minds OF the
people against Hon. Henry Wilson, the
Republican nominee for the Vicc-Presl
dency. His private character is unim.
peacLable, his PUBLIC career is without
blot or blemish, and they cannot abuse
him for either. They are compelled to
resort to something other than these for
their accusations. But as Vindietive
feelings can always find some cause for
complaint and means of gratifying it, SC
in the present instance. The great cry
now against this great manis that he is
Of obscure parentage. Taking advan-
tage Of this fact it has been promulgated

Rebuilding OF Chicago.

The newspapers chronicle the fact
that this city Is being rapidly rebuilt
and in many instances in more sub
stantial and magnificent style than.it was
before the fire. Chicago, as city OF
ruins, is a thing of the past, and tic
tourist who visits that city TO see the
effects of terrible conAagration, will
be doomed to d appointment. In lieu
of charred ruins and desolated places
which have been pictured, may be
found the handsome dwelling or the
ma guihcent business structure, the ruins
and desolation being visible only in the
memories of those who witnessed ii, or
in the pictures for sale in thu galleries
Business runs on in its usual channels,
the hum of machinery, and the rush
of the busy throng run on as in Chicago
of old, and the time is not FAR distant
when no traces of the great confagra-
ton will be visible in any portion Of the
city. So rapidly are losses repaired in
these busy times, that the vacant places
of to-day are the busy ones of to-mor-
row, and the desert which now lies un-
improved may next week be the scene
of busy life of business and pleasure.

GAS COMPANIES The New York World
makes some estimates as to the profits Of gas
companies, and arrives at these conclusions
among others: The Manhattan company Of
New York never paid but S25 per share on
their capital, the profits having paid the rest,
and run the value Of the stock up to 50 thus
representing an accumulation Of profits Of 40
per CT, besides regular semiannual dividends.
Ia Cincinnati the profits of the Cincinnati Gas
company pay about 20 per Ct, per annum on a
capital of -, $50, 900. which capital has been
largely accumulated out of profits, and the
whole profits, including what goes into capital
stock each year, are probably twice as much.
The net monthly profit Of the Peoples Gas
company, of Chicago, is now about $3l 900, OF
10 per ct. year on principal OF over So: 1OO,.
600; and the net monthly profit Of the Chicago
Gaslight Coke company is about $35. 900, or IL
per ct. per annum on a principal of about s.,
200 600.
