one OF the best caricature, we have ever
seen. The abrupt shores and towering
banks in the harbor are admirably
shown, as we'll as the surrounding land
scape. The Saranac is quietly lying,
with steam up, while several boat crews
are busily sounding the unfathom able
depths for anchorage" A number of
sharks and other voracious fish are
swimming around the lead. One of these

I'm the House.


House met pursuant to adjournment
MIR. Speaker in the chair.
The first conspicuous objects, which
attract the attention this morning, upon
entering the Representatives hall, are a
score or more of tin sconces tackled to
the walls and columns, respondent in
their brilliant polish. 1t is supposed
that they will, in the course of time be
made the receptacles of /" tallow-dips, u
to throw light on the progress of legis-
lation. The economy of the Secretary
of the Territory is heartily to be praised.
The cost of the sconces and candles
will, it is believed, be several dollars
less than lamps and kerosene, consid-
Grafton of primal importance in these
days Of national distress.

THE OREGON ELECTION.

Partial Returns from the election in
Oregon, held last Monday, indicate the
success of Nesmith by from 81 900 Ia
81, 500 majority. The vote OF the State
is much less than that of November
last, but it is thought by those whose
opinion is entitled 10 weight. that full
vote would not have placed the result
in less favorable light.
As was anticipated, the main struggle
of the Nitchell-Holladay party was
made in Multnomah county, where all
the appliances Of the noted capitalist
are under his immediate supervision
and control. The Or"goHjdp says that
men were bought openly 20 vote for the
autocrat's pet, and says: There is a
feature in this transaction illustrative of
the intense patriotism which character
ICES the Custom House ring. Cards
were circulated adorned with picture
of President Grant placed in the center
On one upper and on one lower corner
was printed the mystical word Gold.
When the party supposed to have been
bribed demanded his pay, the briber
wrote over the portrait of President
Grant the figure g. He was then
informed that certain member of the
ring would pay him five dollars for the
picture" Several men were arrested
for repeating" all of whom received
these pictures, and presented them for
redemption. Even the City Attorney is
implicated in this infamous proceeding
and proof against the Custom House
ring is positive and incontrovertable.
This was how Multnomah county was
carried against the free will of the peo-
pie, to bolster up and whitewash the
crimes of Senator Mitchell and the cor
rupt ring that have taken upon them
selves to carry his sins that their own
iniquities may be shielded from public
observation.
But thanks to the innate purity of the
masses. and the rapid growth of a
healthy popular sentiment, the express
sion, where it has been left flee from
communicating influences, has been suf-
ticiently powerful to rebuke the corrup-
ton that had obtained such an alarming
grip upon the politics of the State.
The leaven of reform, which was i'm
planted in the contest of our own Ter
ritory, has spread until the whole coast
stands redeemed. The result here can
but have salutary influence abroad and
greatly encourage the efforts of our
brethren in the older States, where
superhuman efforts are being made to
turn the tide of popular opinion into
purer channels. 1t is time that this
change was taking place, if we would
bequeath to property the boosted her
itage of national greatness and re-
nOWn.

BAZAINE.
Continuation of his Trial before the
French Court Martial.

VERSAILLES, October 1.-THE ses-
sion of the BaZaine cOurt-martial was
resumed this morning. Several dOcu-
ments submitted by the prosecution were
read, the most important Of which was
one going to show BsZaine was re-
sponsible for the delay in the husband
ing of PROVISIONS in Metz by neglecting
to inform bis officers of the situation,
thus preventing them from taking the
necessary precautiOn to provide against
scarcity. Rivieres's report was then
taken up and its reading concluded.
Rivieres says, in relinquishing chief
command of the army, that the emperor
gave his last order TO Bazaine,
which was to retreat to ChalOns.
Though this order was repeatedly in
sisted upon, BsZaine aimed to escape
the emperor's control. He deceived the
emperor in causing, as he did, by
his false information an advance
toward NJ ntmedy, greatly shared
the responsibility for the disaster at Sc
dan. Alluding to the negotiations be-
tween Regnier and Bazaine, the report
saws that Bszsine never ought to have
listened to q stranger, who was without
credentials. Itwas his (Bazaine's) duty
to take the field.

Our Washington dispatches of last
night bring something Of an exciting
nature from the capitol. 1t appears
that all the shooting or attempts at
homicide do not occur south Of the Po-
tomac nor in the city Of New York.
Ex-senator Pomeroy, Of Kansas, while
walking up New York street, and when
near the corner of Fourteenth street, in
Washington, was shot down by M. I.
Conway, ex-repreSentative in congress
from Kansas. The dispatch says that
the firing surprised Conway more than
anything that ever happened to him, "
as well il might. But it must have sur
prised Conway alse, for, although with
in few feet Of the amiable senator from
Kansas, and using a "large revolver,
he only hit him once out Of three shots
We are left to conjecture the cause OF
this attempt at Assassination, and
although Mr.. Pomeroy disclaims
any knowledge of the demon
iacsl spirit moving the ex-member
Of congress, we suspect that in this as in
nearly every other difficulty between
men, there is a lady in the case. Or est
Ia teBln1e2 is the question which a Ger
tain distinguished Frenchman always
put when acase was brought before him
for adjudication. In the case at issue
we think Mrs. Conway has something
10 do with the murderoUs attempt
OF her husband. At any rate,
this case discovers curious
plan of northwestern felicity. About

CARD.


The suggestion made by me to the Relief
COMMITTEES on the 9th ins ant, reported in
Fridays papers, in reference to sending TO
New Orleans for medical aid, was at the in
stance of persons connected with the same
committee, and under the inspiration that
our physicians who were skilled in the treat
ment Of the prevailing fever " were worked
down." and, in the event Of an increase, or
long continuance of the disease, they would
not be able TO attend the sick.
Nothing that 1 said could have been con-
strued, even by the hBPer-critical, into any
disparageInento Of the skill, or a lack of a gen.
erous, self-abnegating spirit on the part of the
local medical fraternity had been Informed
that many, probably hundreds, were without
such aid. The mOrtuary reports have eX-
hibited a lamenta5le confirmation Of the fact
that many persons had died who had no ply
siciau. If It is true. as N. ID. says IN a note
to me, that "there are skilled doctors here
who are not lCOTked dOtC7l, and are ready to go
wither they are called as a supplement to
my suggestion I would submit that such ply
sicians be employed and put In the places
that intended the imported medical men to
occupy-namely: the caring for the destitute,
and such others as could not obtain medical
aid otherwise. r. Z. DANIEL
