ANEcDorE OF THE GRAND
DUKE ALIENS Tie Emperor's
third son, Alexis, is in the naval scrv-
ice. Somewhat more than a year
ago, when holding the rank of mid
shipman, the flagship in which he
was serving was wrecked on the
coast of Denmark. The Admiral
ordered the boats to be lowered,
and directed Alexis to take charge
of the first boat. The royal mid
shipman declined to obey the order.
1t was peremptorily repeated : 81,
your commanding officer, order,you
into the boat" "Admiral; | can
not obey you,' said the young
Prince. "It would not become the
Emperor to be the first to leave the
ship. / shall remain with you to
the last" "l5ut | shall put you
under arrest for disobedience of Or
ders as soon as circumstances will
allow me to do so." 81 mean no
disobedience, but l cannot obey"
replied the youthful hero. In due
time almost the entire crew reached
the shore in safety, only some fouror
five having perished in the transit
from the ship. Among the last to
land were the Admiral and the
Grand Duke Alexis. Tents were
hastily erected from the spars and
sails from the wreck, and the rigid
decipline Of fslip-life was promptly
resumed. The young Prince was
placed under arrest for his previous
disobedience Of orders. AS soon as
possible the Russian Minister at
Copenhagen was informed of the
facts and tclegraped them to the
Emperor, from whom he received
the following reply: 81 approve
Of the act Of the Admiral in placing
the midshipman under arrest for
dipbedience Of orders, and | bless
and kiss my son for disobeying
them. ."--LiPpincoa's Nagdzine'

The New York Times is on the
track of Carl Schurz. Its detesta-
ton Of crime and hypocrisy is
only equaled by its fearless energy
and success in unrayeling them.
Senator Schuz places himself in the
van as a civil service reformer. lie
charges, if not directly, by implica-
ton, at least, that the President
has been guilty Of mismanagement;
but the Times steps in and shows
that Senator Schurz is unfit, from
moral and consistent standpoint, to
utter any criticism under that head,
as he has done more to bring about
corruption in the civil service than
any other Senator, unless it be Fen
ton. In the State Department,
Schurz has recommended over
thirty persons to office; IN the In
terror Department he has recon-
mended over hity-sir, Of whom
t'ce'se were appointed, and nine
are now in ofice--three having
been removed or resigned. One Of
these was dismissed for drunken.
less. Schurz in all candor assured
the Senate that he did not person.
ally interest himself in obtaining the
appointment of his brother-in-Iaw,
Jussen, to office. The Times says
that he did, and proves it by say
ing that Schurz personally urged
this appointment upon the Secretary
ofthe Treasury and also the Secre-
tary oftbe Interior, besides "indors-
ing" Jussen's paper. The Times
has begun to pick the feathers Of
deception and hypocrisy from Sena-
tor Schurz, and the chances are that
this Teutonic game cock will have
his bare-bones of deprayity pretty
thoroughly exposed before tie IL

OregOn's Legal Rights Rs 20 swamp

The Hemld is constantly asserting
that the State will realize a million

forts of the 0REGoNIAN and its party

not successful! "The 0REGONIAN aud

to defeat any Just and legal rights
which the State may have in swamp
lands, and would not defeat those
if they could. Those rights are of
character which the courts will enforce,
and the State cannot lie deprived of
any lands to which it i, legally en-
titled. But the 0REGoNiAN trusts that

to defeat great scheme Of public rob
berry. like those which have been prac-
ticcd in other States uadCr this swamp
land act, whereby vast areas Of lands
not swamp and oyerilowed have pass
cd into the hands Of spectators to the
tleirlmcnt of The States respectively.
This Is the scheme which the WyGM
fears we will defeat. Here i, the rub.
1t knows that nobody can deprive the
state of the lands actually granted by
the act Of CONGRESS, because the Courts
will enforce tie legal rights of the
State or of claimants under its authoi-
ity. All this talk, therefore, about de-
teatlng the just claims of the State Is
mo0nshiue. The fear Is that claims
not just may Ike defeated. Oregon con-
tains small proportion Of lands Of
really d swampy character. Perhaps
no State ia the Union contains pro-
portion so small. They who want to
create a belief that there are one mill- |
len aeEes efswamp lands III the State,
are pursuing a deep game. One mill /

of solclen lands isnot nearly so high. .
Behind the attempt to create an ini-

ALIENS INQUIPlSG ABOUT our
WoRKlNG,lEN. During the Grand
| Duke Alexis walks through the
Bridgeport cartridge factory the
other day, he pointed to several
workiugmen and inquired OF Gov.
Jewell, Are these men what YOU
call the common people I" The
Governor replied that they were a
fair specimen Of the working classes
/ in thiscountry. "l;ut do YOU mean
to say that these get into official
positions p further asked the i'm

men," rejoincd Governor Jewell,
"but men of their class do; they

cases where such men have actually
been elected to office" again quer-
led thecuriouS Alexis. Con, certain

worked in the shop as tanner till
| was twenty years OF age )" and
the announcement seemed to puzzle
the Duke n good deal. Here was
the Governor of a State, as well
dressed aud as we'll appearing as
himself, who had actually worked
in a shop, and this man was wei
coming him in behalf ola hundred
thousand voters; it was more of an
enigma than the boy had ciphered
on previously; but as he goes
through the country he will ascer-
tain, upon inqniring, that many OF
the public men here have come
direct from the workshop. In Mas
sachusetts, where he is now visit
ing, Governor Clatln was a shoe
maker, Senator Wilson was a cob
bier also, aud General Banks was q
machinist. In every State just such
selt-made men can be found. They
fill the highest places. President
Grant was a tanner, and Vice Pres
ident Colfax printer. President
Lincoln split rails for a living.
There is no end to these examples
ofpromotion. And the Duke may,
if lie chooses, gather facts enough to
make a very interesting narrative,
showing the beautiful working Of
Republican system Of government,
to be recited to his most august
parent, when the old gentleman
shall ask him on his return to sum
up the experiences ofhis journey

Grant not sincere.

Party zeal and prejudice are Just
now prompting some of our Demo.
cratic editors to commit injustice
in charging President Grant with
being insincere in his advocacy oI
the civil reform. They do not
bring any positive or substantial
testimony to convict the President,
of course, for such evidence cannot
he adduced; but they try to prove
by inference or conjecture, that he
isdishonest and hypeentical. Efforts
to do this in other directions have
been attempted for the past two
years; but have most stsignally failed,
from the simple fact that President
Grant, with all Of his imperfcctions
and tailings, is strictly honest in his
efforts to administer the Govern
ment, and such is the estimate IN
which he is held by the people. It
will not be forgotten that in his
first message he gave some intima-
ton Of the evils, tending towards
corruption, which wcretlle concom-
itants of the practice of the civil
service, and expressed his formal
opposition to the practical opera
tions oftle system. lie is the only
President who has earnestly pre-
sented in his message the import
ance Of reform IN the civilservice.
II he were acting insincere in this
matter, why has he in so many in-
stances ignored the wishes Of the
party in appointing men to posi-
tions, and in other cases retained
men in power whom the party
would have turned out? He answers
this question in his first message
where he says; "Thee has been no
hesitation in changing officials in
order to secure an efficient execu-
ton Of the laws; sometimes, too,
when, in q mere party view, unde-
sirable political results were likely
to follow. Nor has there been any
hesitation in retaining efficient Off
cials against remonstrance wholly |
political" This has been the sTrit |
which has influenced President
Grant from the first--an honest de-
sire to promote the welfare and hap
piness Of the nation, by placing and
retaining good men nofice. Pres
ident Grant has shown no inclina-
ton to play the hypocrite, or dema-
gogue, but on the contrary, in this
civil service matter, especially,
has he shown an earnestness and
sincerity worthy of the highest COM
incubation.

A Democratic Leaders, letter.

! ~ 't 81
There is a leading Democrat ii
the State oflowa, who is known by
the appellation Of the Hon. Geo. H
Parker. lles has been connected
with the Democratic family for over
twenty years. His intelligence is
mdoubted, and Ills influence in the
party has been considerable. Not
long since this gentleman wrote a
letter to the Chicago Times, in
which lie declared that the Demo-
cratic party had outlived its useful
ness, and was in favor Of burying
the putrid remains ofthe defunct
organization. We think he takes
q very correct view Of the aspect
now presented by the Democratic
organization, and we commend the
proposition that ''the body must be
buried, and the stencil Of its putrid
remains beremoved from the public
nostrils," to the Oregon Dem
and hope they will acquiesce.
Here is the letter:
"Having faithfully served as q
member OF the Democratic organi-
zation for over twenty years, and
still having the fullest confidence
in the cardinal principles Of the
party, | am impclled to declare my
conviction tliattlle organization has
outliyed its usefulness, and that it
is the duty of Democrats to ac-
knowledge that the Democratic par
ty is dead. All efforts at depart
ure or to galyanize it into life have
proved a failure. The prestige of
its general policy, or rather a lack
Of policy, during the war, will cling
to it and prevent its success, no
matter how much we may become
purified by a change OF heart. The
result of the recent elections is suffi-
cient proof Of this fact. We can
organize by forming some integral
part ofa new party, and probably
'esunect our principles. But the
BODY must be buried, and the stencil
# its putrid remains removed from
he public nostrils. The present is
he proper emergency to test the
,atriotlsln of the members of the
Democratic party. five love our
ountry better than we do our party,
