John w. Forneyss paper only
figures out four majority for Grant
in the electoral college. Thisis leav-
ing it pretty close for Grant paper.
It is about as good as giving it up.
The battle is on the side of Greeley,
and the people are rejoiced. Bold
and determined fighting from this
out will give us such an overwhelm-
ing victory that it well be the last of
political rings. Let the work be
we'll done, now it is SO we'll begun.
The Grant men only appeal to Demo
Gratis to save them. Will Democrats
help them?

THE kNow-NoTHING CANDIDATE.
Wilson, Radical candidate
for Vice President, has been driven
from pillar to post, on his Know
Nothing record. He went into cover
for while. under a letter written in
German to which his signature was
attached, fatty denying that he ever
was d Know-Nothing. He was
smoked out of that and compelled to
pronounce the letter forgery. Hon.
+. w. Bond, of Massachusetts, not
only gives the time and place of his
initiation, but also states that he was
b'ock-bo!Ied on bis first proposal for
membership He was afterwards,
unfortunately for himself, successful
in getting into another lodge, and
now comes the New York Tribune,
with an extract from speech of Will
sons, published in its issue of the 10th
of October, 1855, in which Wilson
speaks of himself as memeber of the
Know-Nothing party. o! Jeremiah
That was one OF the extracts from the
Tribune which you did not want res
urrected. There is an old proverb
that zone false statement breeds fifty.n
Mr.. Wilson has illustrated it for the
benefit Of the public, in his clumsy
efforts to dodge bis past record as a
Know n othing.

THERE ARE SEVERAL FEDERAL OF
F1cALs, including a postmaster at
Portland, q collector of Internal
Revenue for the Oregon District, q
Collector of Customs at Astoria, and
an occupant of Load Office at Rose
burg, here, counselling the disogran-
ization of the Republican party. If
the President knew of this and did
not give the incnmbents of Office
above mentioned indefinite leave of
absence, we should think he could
not reasonable expect the Republicans
of Oregon to give him the State in

SALEM. Sept. II.

Considerable business was transact.
ed in the Senate yesterday afternoon.
Baldwin, of Grant, introduced three
bills-one in relation roads and high
ways. another to regulate interests on
contracts, and third to amend the
law relating to procuring evidence
These bills all appear to be measures
of utility and necessity, and will
doubtless pass. Dolph, Of Multno'
NAH. introduced a wise and just bill
for the protection OF fish aud game
A similar bill was introduced in the
House yesterday; SO tha, you observe
our Legislators have At last awoke to
the necessity of some action upon this
subject. II is n fixed fac, that game
law will be enacted during this ses-
sion, and the useless and cruel slaugh-
ter tout of scason) OF TIE timid iallow
dear and the swiit-footed jackass rab-
bit will now forever cease within our
borders. Many bounding roe" and
cock pheasant will rise up and call ye
wise Oregon legislators blessed.
Yesterday afternoon the Governor
returned to the Senate his veto of
two bills passed at the last session -
one appropria;ing $4,000 TO drain
school lands in Union county, aud the
ether known as the Portland subsidy
bill. The Senate Immediately voted
unanimously TO sustain the veto OF the
drainage bill, and also sustained the
veto of the subsidy bill by a vote of
q to 1-Cornelins o: Washington,
alone voting to pass the bill over the
veto. A caucus of Republican mem
bers was called for last night, and
courier-doye tells us that only SO of
the 43 RAIDS were in attendancc-ten
refusing to be whipped, cajoled or
subsidized into a caucns. The bird
further whispers into our car that
vote upon the Senatorial question re-
suited in "a for Mitchell and 0 for
Corbett. AS it is understood that
the ten Repubs who refused to go in
to caucus are for Corbett, this would
indicate that he has 10 votes in his
own party. which only lacks three
of being a majority of that side Of the
Legislative body. 1t Is thought that,
after The signal failure last night, the
caucus will be Abandoned and a reg
ular guerrella warfare inaugurated on
the part of the Holladayites. The
Democrats have as yet had no concert
of action, but are simply placid spec
tators of the combat. They have
however, their lances in rest, and will
be pretty sure to make prod into
some mans bread basket when the time
comes.

A dispatch from New York TO the

such a proposition will be spurned
with contempt. Great efforts, how
ever, are being made to secure him

SALEM, Sept. 1S.

SALEM, Sept. 1s.
Last night another Republican eau
Gus was held, and is said to have been
worse failure than the one of the
preceding night. Only about twenty
eight members were present, and they
all shortly retired in disgust. In the
light of these events ye Senatorial
chances of ye attorney Of ye Railroad
King are growing beautifully less.
Yesterday afternoon the Legisla-
ture resolved itself into penitentia-
ry visiting committee, and the men,
bers went out en- 0lasse and nosed
around The magnificent edifice for a
couple of heurs. This elegant and
imposing new structure has been SO
frequently embalmed in printers ink
since its erection that l do not deem
it necessary at this time TO occupy
space in its description. The large,
commodious and airy rooms, with
their finely carpeted or sleekly polish
ed floors, and the less sumptuous but
equally reliable cells, are all models
of perfection in their way, while the
fixtures and conveniences indoors and
ont seem to be all that the most ex-
acting convict could demand. A
large and voluminous library has been
provided by the liberal contributiens
of the Salemits, to which the inyolun-
tary guests Of the mansion have free
access. From the well thnmbed con-
dition of the books one would sup
pose that many of the inmates were
diligent students, but it is sad to note
that the books on Christian Method
ism, with which the library abounds,
are freer from soil and dog's-ears than
those relating to a heroic individual
named. "Thie eo~Grgered Jack and a

Senator POmeroy Defended.

Gen. Howard is out in letter defending
Senator Pomeroy from the charges of HAVING
acquired great wealth during his term as a
Senator; Of having palatial residence in
Washington Of living in great luxury. and
OF having acquired a part of this wealth
through his connection with the Freedmen,s
Bureau, the Freedmen's Bank, and the How
ard University. Gen. Howard says:
Mr.. Pomeroy's only connection with the
work undertaken by the bureau was to act as
a trustee, with others, of fund set apart to
furnish homesteads to freedmen near the CITY
at cost, the proceeds of the sales. as thew
came back into the fund, to be used for the
education of the freedmen's children. In
the execution of this trust, Mr.. Pomeroy has
never been compensated one dollar, either
directly or indirectly. Again, with the Freed
mems Bank, 1 have it from the best author
ity that Mr.. Pomeroy has never had any con-
nection whatever. AS to Howard Universe
ty; he was one of the corporators, and has
always been one of the trustees. He has
attended the meetings of the board has
spent any leisure he could command for the
benefit OF those who have, in the past, had
no helper. He has subscribed as much as he
was able toward its permanent endowment.
He has helped INDECENT students in the way
OF obtaining employment. for them, but in no
single instance has he received the least Pc
cuniary compensation.

these schools who may have embraced GER
tain religious faith have the right to openly
violate rules AUTHORIZATIONS adopted for their
government, what kind of discipline can be
maintained?
IT certain class can only be reached and
benefited by the religious dogma and disci-
pine of certain churches, then there is no
objection to their establishing sectarian
schools to be supported by themselves,
where such textbooks as they may adopt
can be used; but our common schools owe
tealty to government, and our songs of pa
triotism should be taught in them; our chill
dren there should learn that loyalty to good
government is sacred duty, and that the
separation Of church and state is the palla-
dunn Of American liberty 1t has been the
steady aim of the sincere and intelligent
worship in the colOred churches, and they
have looked to the common schools as the
surest means to accomplish that very desir-
able object, and as order is said to be
" Heavens first law" and cleanliness
next to Godliness," they have every reason
to wish the present excellent rules and strict
discipline in the colored schools of Washing
ton and Georgetown maintained.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, l believe the
trustees are right in introducing the standard
music of the day in preference to that wild
and incoherent hallooing, accompanied by
Symnastic exhibitions, that has heretofore
panied and disguised all intelligent people,
and which is so tenaciously adhered to by
the gentleman complaining Of the course of
the trustees of the colored schools.
Respectfully, JOHN H. BROOKS.

Is Hanging Il Crucltyi

DR.. Paul +. Eve, of Louisville, has written
a pamphlet to prove that hanging is not only
unpleasant, but positively inhuman as a
means of death. The doctor contends that
it is an exceedingly difficult matter to dislo-
cate the human neck, and that this event
rarely happens in ordinary hangngs, the VIC
tim dying gradually of strangulation. What
is worse, the consciousness of the criminal is
not suspended by the fall, and he suffers ter
ribly during that period-from seventeen to
twenty-seven minutes-hc is engaged in
shuflling off his mortal coil. Indeed the doc
tor thinks that, with the exception of cruel
fixion, hanging is the most painful of all
deaths. DR.. Eve is doubtless right in many
of his deductions. Hanging is beastly way
Of killing q criminal, even when artistically
done by sheriff who understands his busi-
ness and never loses his presence of mind.
But when the job is bungled, as it is three
times out of five, hanging is horrible, inhu-
man, and disgusting. The object being simply
to kill the prisoner and get him out of the
way, it would seem that science ought to pro-
vide some simpler, quicker, and more humane
method than that Of choking him to death.
DR. Eve suggests rs substitute for the hal
ter modification of the Spanish garotte,
fitted with spring so constructed as to drive
a knife into the neck, severing the spinal
chord and producing instantaneous death.
This would be a decided Improvement on the
halter; but powerful salvanic battery, pro-
ducing painless death with the swiftness of a
lightning stroke, would be better still. But
best of all would be the abolition Of the death
penalty in all its forms.
