From OcI,oco.


Our Ochoco correspondent, writing from
Prineville, under date of March 29th, says
the weather in that valley is pleasant,
though windy. Farmers are about done
putting in their crops Grass is good, and
cattle are getting fat. A number of store
houses are being built at Prineville. The
Odd Fellows are having a hall erected.
Crooked river is very high.
OUR PosTMAsTER.-We are no apologfst
for Grants office holders, but our sympa-
thies are awakened when we see an officer,
attacked by his own party for doing his
duty only too faithfully. The Gazette man
goes for Brother Hanna, in his last issue,
in a style unbecoming the s.high moral
.organss' He is incensed because a letter
directed "W. D." instead of ssW. B. y
was not delivered to him instanster. It is
well known that sstW. d. Carter is far
mer in Linn county, not many miles from
this city. Mr.. Hanna has frequently met
with complaint for not being strict enough
with the mail matter OF individuals, and
in this instance acted from firm convic-
ton of official duty.

for the English to ship large part of the
gold back again. To avoid this trouble and
expense, the great exchange houses borrow
money in London with which to meet the bills
which are sent to our English creditors, and
retain the money here which the New-York
importers pay them for those bills. To make
this clearer, suppose A in America owes in
England At the present time, let us suppose,
there is no one in England who owes any
one in America an equal sum, but it
is known that in four months at most
NJ in England will have that very
sum to pay to n in America. Here
X, the dealer in exchange having house IN
London and one in New-York, offers his SER
vices. He takes AS money in America. but in
stead of sending it to London invests 1t In
Newly York, with the intention of using 1t four
months later in paying Ms debt to N Mean
while he bOrrows money in London and pays
B. This, though not exactly the manner In
which the business is done. is sufficient
illustration of it for our present purpose.
The custom which has sprung up of late
years of borrowing bills of exchange makes
an essential change in the above operation.
The banker, instead of selling his bills to
American debtors, and taking care of the
money himself, lends them at high interest to
some speculator for rise in stocks and fall
in gold, and takes the stocks as security for
the return Of the bills or their current market
value, which is the same thing to him, two,
three, or four months later in the season.
The stock speculator then sells the
bills for gold, sells the gold for cur
renew, and paws the currency into
the bank from which he drew the
money to buy the stocks which he has pledged
with the dealer in exchange. If it should
happen that at the present time "a certain
class Of foreign bankers are loaded down
in the manner we have described, we should
not be surprised to learn of more failures of
houses which have lent large sums here on Sc
curities more or less worthy Of the name, and
are in debt for sums of corresponding magni-
tude which they have borrowed on the
other side of the water, or, which is per-
haps more likely, Incorporated from the
moneys left ON deposit with them. This
is a very rotten piece of timber that we have
been boring into, and we are glad to say that
there is no reason to suppose that the prac-
tice is countenanced by any house of high
standing. The misfortune Of the public, and
particularly of many persons who prefer
Europe to America as q Summer residence, is
that there is a disagreement between the
knowing few and the ignorant many as to
the standing of well-knOwn firms. BY houses
of high standing we mean houses so ranked
by the Produce Exchange and the Cotton

the ticket is formed of persons too
obscure to have been the spontaneous choice
of any deputation of citizens. Mr. Taylor re-
ceived the reward Of his subserviency to the
Canal Ring in nomination. which offsets
all the good done by that of the Controller !;
and Gen. Barlow, whose friends have been
endeavoring to have him renomnated by ac-
clamation and then forced with gentle violence
to accept, was supplanted by Mr.. Slliman OF
Brooklyn.
The resolutions show, if possible, more signs
of deliberate cooking than the nominations
They betray in every paragraph the wrinkles
they have acquired in the pockets OF the
managers. The first one must nave oeeh
written in quieter times than these, for IL
credits the Republican party with haV-
ing established general financial stability
and prosperity throughout the country; an
other claims also that it overthrow Tammany,
and we NAV now expect this resolution In ali
future platforms; another says the RepuDilcan
is the true Temperance party, and ahother ueA-
terously tries to avoid saying anything compro-
missing in regard to the transportation question
But the greatest ingenuity is displayed in the
Rack Paw resolution which is really master
piece of evasion 1t could not condemn Sen
ator Conkling and Mr.. Roberts on their own
thresholds, and so it calls upon Congress TO
pass a law that the Back Pay now lying sub
iect to the order of those deliberate patriots
who p" do no not intend to draw 1t" shall De
covered back into the Treasury. BY this neat
contrivance the Convention aims to place
itself mon the popular side, and hopes that
the fair repute of the derellct congressman
may be saved alive.
Altogether, the work Of the convention Is
no worse than we expected. There was a fine
opportunity before them, but the leaders OF
the Administration party in this State would
have to be made over again before they
could embrace it.

The tender passion has done great deal of mis-
chief in this world and will probably continue to do
so until time and love shall step out together. But
an entirely novel incident may now be added to

that Ovid never dreamed of. locomotive engineer,
flirting with lovely Kentucky lassie. did not burst

THE GOVERNMENT BANKERS.

II is reported that the suspension oil Henry
Clews & Co., regretted by all classes OF the
community, was a special and most poignant
affection TO the President. "Poor Henry" said
Senator Norton " his failure will Int Gen.
Grant the hardest of anything" we are
curious to know how the President felt yes
terday when he learned that the gallant stand
made by Clews g. Co. in New-1ork during
the early days of the panic was at the expense
Of the firm of Clews, Habicht g. Co. IN Lon
don, and that the foreign house had conse-
ouently been compelled to close its doors
Clews, Habicht 81 Co. are the financial agents
of the State Department IN Europe; Jay
Cooke, McCullOch s. Co. are the financial
agents of the Navy. The suspension OF either
house involves the Government in serious
embarrassment, and even casts upon 1t a
certain degree of discredit.
We cannot help thinking that in selecting
these two banking-houses for the custody OF
the money needed by the Government in its
business abroad, Gen. Grant committed grave
indiscretiOn. The famous house of the Earrings
had acted for us during great many years,
to our entire satisfaction. Ii was, perhaps OF
all banking establishments in the world, the
one best fitted for such trust. Jay Cooke,
on the contrary, was VIGOROUSLY doing spec
ulative business. The Government knew very
well that he was carrying an enormous load
for a railway which could not possibly pay its
way for many years, if it ever paid; and 1t
was evident that a panic in railway securi-
ties which might come at any time, must place
his bank in serious peril. Mr.. Henry Clews
haH
yolved himself with worthless Southern
bonds. Although his credit was good, his best
friends could not pretend that he was ever
absolutely safe. These facts, however, weighed
very little with President who has always
distributed public appointments as favors to
his friends. The enterprise and success of
these young firms, their services in placing the
Government war loan, and certain political
considerations likewise, determined him to take
the fiscal agency away from the Barings and
give it to them. We see the result.
Now we have no desire to cast any reproach
upon the suspended firms for whom in their
misfortune there is a general feeling of SYM
pathy. But we should like to impress it upon
Gen. Grant, if we could, that whatever he may
choose to do with his private funds he has no
llSHO W SlNC away pupiiV 'iuSI 40 iShdluo w
his personal and political fayorites. Clews
and Cooke were appointed Government finan-
cial agents not because their appointment
would be a good thing for the Government
but because it would be q good thing for
them; and the whole system of patronage
from the construction of a cabinet down to
the filling of village post-ofces, is admins
tered in the same way. We may bear with it
while only the lower grades Of the Civil Ser
vice are involved; but when it comes to tam
pering with the finances, the whole country
will protest.
