DIED STANDARDIZATION Deputy
Sheriff Geo. Humphrey we learn that
Mr.. w. G. Boyes, proprietor of the
Boyes Hotel at Halsey, died on Sun
day last. The disease of which he
died baffied the skill of the physician.
He was first seized with fit of vomi-
ting and afterward suffered severe
crampings, which finally terminated
in death. He was AN estimable citi-
zen, and leaves a young widow and
two little children to mourn his death.
WHERE IS HE?-Wm. S. CLARK, OF
Ochoco, asks US to inform the public
that the people of Ochoco Valley are
very ambitious to know the abiding
place of one James Glover, who depart
ed thence last July, intending to come
to the willamette Valley and return
there in few days. He is tall, slim
man, 6 feet inches high, dark COM
plexion and about 32 years old.
GREAT ExcITEMENT.-Rea the
flaming new advertisement of Mr..
Lewis Brown of Harrisburg, the gen.
tiemanly proprietor of the Arcade Bill

that he is selling off his large stock Of
wines, liquors and cigars at cost. He
has the purest brands of all articles in
| his line, and the public can rely upon
his promise to sell cheap.

the Louisiana TroubIe.

The mistakes Of Grants Administration have
been numerous-but none have been more seri
Gus, dsgraceful and injurious to the reputation o.
the Government than the interference of the Fed
enl officers with the State affairs in Louisiana
And the press and the people are heartily glad to
find that exposures of the political tricks Of the
Administration through its office holders in New
Orleans is likely TO cause the whole scheme by
which the government of State was overthrown
and Senate and House organized by ofice-hold-
ers under Grant who had no right or authority,
and who were clearly usurpers Even Gen. But
Ter, when the matter was discussed in the Lower
House of Congress, on Monday, said:
"Warmoth seems to have the regular machinery
which could declare his government the proper
one, while the members of the Pinchback gov
eminent only had certificates. He would not
pretend to say whether Warmoth's returns were
correct and legal but the fact existed that he had
the proper machinery"
Mr.. Sheldon said that the returns were given
by the State officers, and the United States super
visions, Of which there were two at each polling
place, had given the certificates.
Mr. Butler said that was why he called one set
OF papers returns and the other certificates. The
State officers were returning officers and could
make returns. The supervisors were only certify
ing officers, The returning officers were the
proper ones to be recognized, but il was for Con-
gress TO determine as to the legality OF these re-
turns. The question to be asked was, were they
the real returns ?"
And yet Gen. Grant recognized Pinchback and
when appealed 10 to hear the other side, had it
telegnphed to New Orleans that appeals were
useless-he had made up his mind.
Longstreet and Others counted the vote so as to
give the State to Grant, and that was sufficient
Now, it turns out that the counters and sehemers
were all brbed to do this with the promise of of
fees, which they have since been appointed to.

LIBEL.

The Reading Times aud Dispatch says, "under
the present libel law of Pennsylvania every editor
or publisher is at the mercy of evil disposed per
sons who may feel inclined to prosecute, either
for the purpose Of blackmailing or wreaklng ven
geance for some imaginary wrong done them"
We have no doubt whatever Of the truth of the
above, and the press Of that State should not let
the opportunity pass without securing some moro
favorable law from the convention now sitting in
Philadelphia. Every official scoundrel who is
properly held up to popular indignation threatens
the newspapers with suits for libel, and thus the
press is hampered and the State disgraced by
statutes which it is well said have "thrown pro
tecting mantle over official rascality." In refer
ring to the subject the Ledger says:
ave do not hesitate 10 express the belief that
but for the present state of the laws and the rul
ings on this subject, we should have no such
scoundrels in Office as some Of those who for
years have been disgracing Philadelphia, and out
raging common decency."

Coal Combination.

1t appears that the Reading R. R., and those
connected with it have been endeavoring to form
a combination for the purpose of increasing the
price of coal but having failed in their efforts to
comlpete arrangements, have now, it is under.
stood, taken another method TO force up the
price, by first forcing it down. The matter is re-
ferred to by a Philadelphia correspondent of the
N. 7. Tribune, from which we copy the follow
ing paragraph;
The Reading Coal and Iron Company has an
nounced that 1t will sell coal by retail at prices
between So and S. per ton, which are much be-
low the regular rates. This course has been
adopted, IL is alleged, with the view Of compel
ling all who oppose that company to come to the
terms which II has proposed, and il is believed
that as soon as panic is created in the market
by this step, that they will promptly raise their
prices. The retail dealers are mnch disturbed by
the announcement, because they cannot afford to
sell at less than the current pnces so long the
cost Of bringing coal to the city remains at the
present figures.

Elections to the proposed removal of the Comfy
Buildings. matter which touches the public in
its sensitive part, viz the pocket, is not TO be
consummated in shorthand, summary way,
partaking of the character of what Is known TO
the legal profession rs "snap Judgment" 1t
seems to be the impression with those who arc
agitatlng the matter in Wilmington, that the ex-
preston OF few gentlemen directly interested in
the removal, and resolution OF the Board OF
Trade, will be all sufficient TO induce the Legsla-
ture to do that which former Legislatures have
repeatedly declined TO do. The people of this
county have right TO be heard in this matter,
and they have right to have this question an
swered; "What necessity exists for an unusual
outlay of money at this time, when nine+enths of
| our people find It difficult TO make living g'-
The gentlemen who have ventured to deal in fig
ures have placed the population of Wilmington
at forty thousand, fol the sake Of their argument
adding onethird TO the real number, which is
thirty thousand. They have estimated the pro
posed cost at fifty thousand dollars, very iDsin
cerely placing it, at the very least, at less than
one-third of the real amount which will be re-
quired. The City Council propose to give sit
and one-half of the cost of the buildings not des
ignating the location nor the amount; one of the
most active and intelligent members of the Coun-
Gil stated that in his opinion one hundred thou
sand dollars would not be sufficient The people
of this county are too wide awake TO their own
interests to trust the city of Wilmington in Its
present embarrassed condition, They have ere
now had reason to know that the engagements
made for tho improvement of that city, have not
been faithfully fulfilled, and the whole and plain
truth ofthe matter is, that the county will have
TO settle bill of at least two hundred thousand
dollars, and this at a time when the majority can
find no reason why one dollar more should be
added to their burden. Now there is one way
that this question can he settled, and the conyic-
ton of this fact grows stronger as you reeede
from Wilmington, namely, by division of the
county.
The city of Wilmington insists that it should
have fuller representation, and il desires the
county buildings. Let the county be divided and
both these desired objects will be attained. Viii
mington, with the upper hundreds can form q
county, have their own representatives and their
own courts; we will thus settle this biennial
trouble, and get rid of some expense, for if VIII
mington pays good deal of tax, she also entails
a great deal of expense upon the county This |
seemed to be the view of the Hon. T. +. Bayard, |
as expressed beforethe Board of Trade and ii |

The election yesterday passed on very
quietly, probably not more than three hum
dred votes being poed. In North Cairo
precinct not over $50 votes were poied,
while In South Cairo precinct the number
was probably little over 200. Judge Baker,
than whom more popular man for the posi-
ton could not have been found in the dis
trict, had no opposition and everyone knew
that he was "sure Of election anyhow"
This fact induced hundreds, who under
