From the Lewiston, Idah'., Signal:
From what we can learn it is a

ferceuess as thas which was fairly in-
aueurated last Sunday. It commenced
showing on Friday. but not until Sun
day did the ground present an appear
ance which would indicate more than an
ordinary furry of snow. All that day
and the two days following the feecy
particles came down. until it piled up to
the depth of 20 inches; bnt the body of
the snow is light and dry and for that
reason it will not remain any great
length of time. On the mountains it
fell to much greater depth. and being
much more moist is packed much more
solid. Thursday it rained a little in the
morning. with q very visible effect on
the snow and left many spots bare
again. We are of the opinion that CHI
nook is blowing. but 1t is sabove us. and
therefore only the mountain tops, if any
where, will get the benefit of it. From
what we can learn stock. of all kinds are
not suffering much from the effects Of
the storm. OF horned animals, those
which were in pretty fair condition in
the fall bid fair to stand long and pro-
tracted siege of rough weather. but the

FEDERAL OFFICIALS. President Grant
has just issued an order addressed to
Federal officers in the several States,
warning them not to interfere in State
matters in any way whatever. The
country has already seen the result of
the interference of Fedora, officials in
the distracted condition Of affairs in
Louisiana, South Carolina and Arkan-
sas. and it is to guard against repeti-
ton of the disgraceful scenes now
transpiring in those States that Presi-
dent Grant has issued his non-interfer-
ence order. Recognizing the principle
as just and correct, We regret it is not
applied to the Territories. Here in
Washington Territory, the principal
business of the Governor, Secretary,
etc., seems to be the manipulation of
local politics, to the neglect of their
official duties. The people of the Ter
ritory are fully able to regulate their
domestic affairs. and we suggest to the
President that he give us the benefit of
his timely order Walla Waaa States

Missouri SENAron.-Col. L. V. Bogv,
who has just been elected q. s. Senator
IN Missouri, was a Confederate officer
curing The war. His competitors were
Gen. John S. Phelps and Gen. Frank
Blair. both Of whom were officers in the
Union army, but the Confederate senti-
ment in the Legislature was too much
for them, and the Confederate Colonel
was preferred to either Of the Union
Generals. e
Col. Bogy is Of one Of the old Creole
families of st. Louis, inheriting con-
siderable fortune and leading social
position. When young man he was
engaged to- be marned to the accom-
plished daughter of the principal of a
Grammer School at St. Genevieve.-
While this matter was pending. a young
man from the Wisconsin lead mines, the
son of pioneer, entered the school
with the results of his own earnings. de-
termined on achieving an education OF
which circumstances lad deprived him
in boyhood. He became acquainted
with the affianced bride; mutual at
techment soon followed, and despite the
interference Of the parents, eloped with
.he girl on the very night set for her
marriage with Bosy. greatly to the hor-
ror of all her friends, who could not un-
de,stard how woman in her senses
could reject man of wealth. culture and
high social position for the poor uncui-
,;vate miner. The result proved. how
ever. that the woman was not altogether
wrong in her estimate of manly quail
ties. The man she married. became
Delegate to Congress from one OF the
Territories, then United States Senat-
or, and subsequently foreign minister,
all before he was As years of age. and
sustained himself in each position with
parked credit. Bogy.we believe, never
married, but has constantly striven for
the political distinction borne off BY his
successful rival, and has finally achiev-
ed the object OF his ambition in his old
age. with none to share in his honors.

PARTY PREJUDICE.--A gentleman oc-
cupying a distinguished position. with
whom we we're accidentally brought IN
association in this city some time since,
has written us a letter. from which we
take the liberty of publishing the fol-
lowing extract:
II thank you kindly for coy Of
your excellent address before the Teach
ers' Institute, and for your gentlemanly
kindness towards me while was at Sc
nttle. Allow me ever to number you
among my friends; ind permit me to
add, that in my brief intercourse with
YOU there, was impressed with this
thought: how dim and misgniding is
the light in which we view public
mans character, when we have seen 1t
only in the columns of opposing politi-
cal prints
Not because Of its personal bearings,
but to exemplify prevailing party pre-
;ndice growing out of the common prac-
tice Of party editors of low grade OF
assailing all party opponents with foul
invective or vile calumny, do we refer
to this subject. Through this mallgn
influence it often happens that men OF
honest intentions and mutual interests
in the public welfare, neutralize the IN
fluence of each other by mutual distrust,
and designing rogues profit thereby
Having suffered more newspaper vitu-
peration and Misrepresentation than any
man of our acquaintance, we never take
any personal offence at prejudices thus
engendered-wh are often SO strong
as to cause persons on first making our
acquaintance to question our identity
and have been taught to condemn no
man on account of differences Of opin-
ion, and to utterly disregard the assaults
of partisan journals. based upon such
differences, upon any man.

INTERcHANGE.--Under the head OF
Remarkable Coincidence, the Port
land Oregonian relates the following
curious facts showing how mutual en-
dorsements are sometimes managed be-
tween country and metropolitan jour-
nails, upon the principle of "you tickle
me and I'll tickle you."
Three days ago we were told BY gen
tleman of this city, who declared he
knew whereof be spoke, that when til e
Federal officer who owns the Puget
Sound Courier, came over to Portland
last week to pay proper homage to our
worthy Senator-elect, an article written
by the editor of the Bulletin, strongly
endorsing the Bulletin s s!anders against
those Republicans who dared in Sep
tember to express their preference for n
man other than the aforesaid Senator
elect, was placed in the hands of the
aforesaid Puget Sound office holder,
and he was informed that be must have
It. inserted in the Courier edilori-
ally, or off would come his political
head and likewise the political head OF
his editor. who is another Federal officer.
The owner of the fnget Sound paper,
so the story ran, demurred a little, but
finally, seeing the aforesaid worthy gen
tleman and rising statesman was inexor-
able. he concluded. as it was the only
thing he could do to be saved, he would
Crook the supple hinges of the knee,
That thrift might follow fawniug"
We paid little attention to the story at
the time. thinking there could hardly be
anything in it, although we were assur
ed it was positively true. Yesterday
came what is either proof or o remarka-
bic coincidence. The Courier comes
with just such an article in it. We do
not assert now that the Story was cor
rect. or that the editor of the Bulletin
did wlite the article in question: but we
do say, first, that the article is unlike
any thing that Mr.. Strive, the editor oi
the Courier ever wrote before, and Sc
condly, that if the editor of the Courier
did not write it, there is no use in pre-
tending that any mans writing can be
Identified by its peculiarities of style.
But our readers are themselves familiar
with the writing of the editor of the
Bulletin, and We beg any one of them
who thinks he can judge Of such mat.
ters, to examine the article in question
critically, if he should happen to see it,
when it Is copied into the bulletin. as ii
Will be, If 1t originated in the manner
