1t is reported by a party here just from
New York, that Chiei-Enginecr w. Mil
nor Roberts expressed an intention to start
from there for the Pacific division on tho
18th of May, accompanied by party of
railroad officials. Up to the present time,
no tidings of their movements have been
reported here; but if they left about the
time desi grated, we may expect them at
Kaama within couple of week at the far
thest.
This week, several young gentlemen
from the East reported themselves here
at Division Headquarters, to be assigned
TO duty in the Engineer Department. We
understand they are abont to take the field
in the following positions: Robert A,
Habersham, Assistant Engineer, to take
charge of party; Geo. II. Paddock, (of
Philadelphia Transitman with Capt. G.
II. Bernie, Assistant Engineer; VIM. ID.
Bullock, (of Warren, r. ~ Levelcr with
Capt. Sheets, Assistant Engineer; Geo.
II. King, (of New York; Rodman.
G. II. Bernie, G. f., is in charge of a
party now locating line northward from
the end Of the forty miles to Budd's 1n-
let
Capt. W. II. Taylor has removed here
with his family from the Sound, and is to
resume his old post of Railroad Storekecp-
er, which he held last year, and resigned
for engagement on the Sound.
Freights are not only becoming immense
on the road now, but travel is fairly rush

be called in loud voice unto Josiah the
censor, snd when he had come forth from
bis tent he saluted him and gave him the
grip and said, put forth thy hand and
choose by which of these two thou wilt
abide.
33. And when Josiah, the censor, had
looked into the tamolsh and saw that the
bottle which was in the end was wine, and
that which was in the center was water.
he put in his hand through the hung, and
laid hold of the bottle which was filed
with water.
81. And when Petroleum saw that he
had taken hold of the bottle, he said unto
him, brother dost thou choose water rath-
er than wine, and will thou abide by thy
choice.
IS. And Josiah, the censor, answered
and said unto him, will hold fast unto
this until l die.
3G. And when he had forsworn himself,
Petroleum said unto him, thou shalt 80
with me unto the camp of Selucius, the
babbler.
81. And Josiah the censor would have
resisted him but he found that his right
hand would not come forth from the bung,
and he could not let 20 his hold lest he
should forswear himself and perish.
3S. And seeing that he was rabid and
blind when he looked upon the water, Pc

captive that it might be fulfilled as it is
written. lie shall be newer of wood
and drawer of water to his enemies all
the days of his life.

EARLY PEAs.-Herbert Jeal presented
us, on the 10Th ult., the first green peas Of
the season. He says that the seed from
which they were grown we're given to him
by Judge McFaddcn, and relates as re-
markable fact that the peas sent him by
Garfelde, are not yet in bloom. 1t is i'm.
possible to convince Jeal that there is not
some special dispensation of Providence in
the to him incompreh ensible phenomenon.

THE INDIAN SUPERINTENDENT.

THE INDIAN SUPEklNTENDENCY.
Dispatches to the Sss Francisco press
announce the appointment of Robert II.
Milroy, Of Indiana, as Superintendent of
Indian Affairs in this Territory. 1t might
occasion some surprise that this announce.
ment was not made in the press dispatches
to the Portland papers, If Gar6elds's skill
in manipulating the telegraphic news was
not matter settled by the record. The
nominations of Ferry and Beach we're kept
back until it was too late for the people 10
express preference for anybody else, or
even their objections to the confirmation Of
these ot.house politicians for two of the
most important official positions in the
Territory; and it is not matter Of sur
prise that his influence has been equally
potent to delay all information that would
weaken his cause with the people. until his
wire.pullers were instructed just in what
manner to meet the emergency.
In the appointment of Gen. Milroy we
believe the people have cause for copgrat.
ulation. His record in the war stamps
him as man ofgallantry and courage; and
it is to be hoped that he is one of integrity,
for in no department Of the civil service
is there more need Of reform than in that
to which he has been assigned. 1t is i'm.
possible longer to delude the people into
the belief that large fortune can be legit-
imately saved upon moderate salary for a
short time. 1t is no longer thought pro-
per to make the SUPPLEMENTARY a huge
political machine, to which the will of the
people must yield.
The Democracy have no dread Of honor
able opposition in the field Of politics.
They can respect the victors of fairly
contested struggle, and checrfully acqui-
escc in the will of majority of the people,
1t is in accordance with the well-defned
principles Of the party TO do so, as it is to
yield to the legally constituted authorities
and the laws they are charged to execute,
all the sympathy and support they they
would to officers of their own choice. But
it almost appears as if the days of honest
competition, Of advocacy of principle for
the sake Of principle, had passed. never to
return. The influence Of money and off.
cial position have so corrupted popular
sentiment that it beholds undismayed the
most fragrant outrages and by silence sane
tons the most glaring wrongs.
We incur but little risk, therefore, in
approving any change that may be made,
especially in the Indian service, and We
have the hope of some improvement, at
least, to cheer US. Indian affairs cannot be
managed worse than they have been for
the past eight years, so far as the Superin.
tendency is concerned. If Gen. Milroy is
the upright, honest and gallant man VIC
arc inclined to believe he is, he will neither
prostitute the position to enrich himself
nor to advance the schemes of ambitious
demagosues.

OREGON ELECTIoN.-The election in
Oregon has gone Republican by a small
majority. The Senate is tie with a re.
publican majority in the house. Ben.
Holiday has ridden the party to some
purpose this time, and it will hereafter
belong to him, as does three fourths of the
business done in Oregon. If Republicans
can rejoice over victory like this, they
must be blind to the best interests of the
Pacific coast. A more soulless monopoly
never existed anywhere, and the party has
been bound hand and foot and delivered
into his keeping.

REpREuENsIBLE.-Charles Patton, a
boy ten years of age, was up before Judge
Elder last Thursday for shooting half
breed Indian boy, few years his senior.
1t appears from the evidence that Patton
supposed the gun contained only powder,
and that he aimed aud fired the gun merely
to have little fun. The result was that
dozen or more shot were lodged in the
body Of the half-brced boy, inAicting inju-
rics that may terminate in death. The
Judge merely inflicted fine of $40 for
shooting within the town limits, costs of
suit, and such costs as the injured boy
may incur for medical attendance. The
penalty should have been sufficiently large
to have broken up the practice prevailing
among mere boys of carrying firearms.

ry the election in November. The de-.
lay in the final passage Of the bill was .
part of his programme, to secure his own
nomination and to ascertain who his oppo-
ncnt was likely to be. The final deter
mination was probably not made until it
was decided who the Democratic Conven-
ton would place in the field. Had less
popular candidate than Judge McFadden
been named. it is not at al improbable that
the reconsideration would have resulted 10

Safe? You Bet {!

4 San Francisco paper speaks of safe
constructed by an ingenious mechanic of
that city. To illustrate its burglar proof
qualities, he had himself locked up inside
Of it, with an amply supply of provions,
and offered to give 81 600 to the man who
could unlock the door. That was about
two weeks ago; since which time all the
blacksmiths aud burglars and carpenters
in the State have been busily boring and
Blasting at the safe, and the man is there
yet. He has whispered through the key
hole that he will make the reward $l0,-
600, but fears are entertained that the
only way to release the prisoner will be
to melt him up with the safe in blast
