A Virginia City lady, just as she
was about to enter a store in that

on the slippery sidewalk with en-

At q meeting Of the farm ers of

proposition from the Willamette
Navigation Company to carry all the
grain raised by members of this Club
to Portland for seven and one half
cents per bushel, if insured the
whole trade for five years. This offer
was thankfully received, and will be
duly considered by the Club at an

DEATH OF GOV. oEARr.

A dispatch announces the sudden
death, on last Saturday morning, at
Harrisburg, Pa, of Ex-Governor
Geary, of that State. The telegram
states that he had returned from New
York the evening previous, apparently
in good health, and that on Saturday
morning, while brcaktasting with his
family, and while IN the act of help
ing his little son, his head suddenly
fell back, aud before his wife could
get to his side, he was dead. The
cause of his death is supposed to have
been heayt disease o: apoplexy.
John w. Geary was Colonel of a
regiment in the Mexican war, through
the whole of which he served with
distinction. He was also Brigadier
General in the Union army during the
late war, where he won fresh laurels
as skillfnl officer and brave soldier.
In civil life he has been no less dis
tinguished than in the pursuits of war.
He was in an early day resident of
California, and was the first Mayor OF
the city of San Francisco. In 1856,
after his return to Pennsylvania from
the Pacific coast, he was appointed by
President Buchanan Governor Of the
Territory of Kansas, and served for
about year in that capacity during
the Bleeding Kansas" era. Upon his
resignation of the Office he again re-
turned to his native State, of which
he has twice since been elected Gov.
ernor, his second term having only
expired few weeks ago.
The distinguished deceased was the
younger and we believe the only
brother of the Rev. Dr. Geary of this
city. We deeply sympathize with
our respected fellow-citizen in this
his irreparable and sudden affection
and we believe we echo the sentimen,
of this entire community when we
tender him our sincerest coincidence

MORE VILLAINS PaRDovED NJ THE
PRESIDENT.

Since the pardon of Hedge,-who
was sentenced to the Penitentiary
about year ago for defrauding the
treasury out of nearly half million
dollars-becausc he had some aristo-
cratic relatives who associated with
the President, and who felt bad on ac-
count of his confinement, all the viii
iains in the country whose relatives
can get the ear of the President, es-
pecially if they are connected with
the army and navy, are likely to be
let loose. The pardoning power has
been recently exercised in two cases,
one of which our readers may remem-
ber something about. Alexander A.
Semmes of the navy, was tried last
winter for infiicting cruel and un-
lawful punishment upon persons un
der his command, for abuse of his
official powers and for oppressive and
inhuman conduct unbecoming an Off
Ger and gentleman, while he was in
command of the United States steam.
er Portsmouth. He was found guilty
and sentenced to be suspended from
duty and rank for three years, and &c
be reprimanded by the Secretary o.
the Navy. So glaring and inhumar
were the enormities he committed
the Secretary, in administering hi.
part of the sentence, stated that if the
sentence ofthe court had been severer
the Department would have beer
prompt to approve it. But before
the expiration of year the President
interposes his official power and re
mits the sentence, and Semmes is now
on waiting orders ready to exercis,
his authority and vent his spite on tn,
first unlucky wight that comes in hi
way.
The other case is that of Paymastel
Henry Breese of the army, who wa
charged with the "soft impeachment
of irregularities in his accounts, which
means, we suppose, that he had teer
stealing. He was found guilty, ant
sentenced to be reprimanded in gen
eral orders and to be suspended from
rank and duty tor four months, the
last part of which has recently beer
remitted by the President and he il
again restored to duty where he cal
practice his irregularities" at pleas
ure. To save expense, and for tn,
convenience of all parties concerned
why not let the President hereafte
settle all such little difficulties withou
the interference of the courts Or
new bureau might be established 70
the issuing of pardons when the arm,
or navy officers are caught stealing
and permits when they are suspected
of an inclination to steal. This woult
save heap of trouble to the officer
and their friends, and the demand
of justice would be quite as well an
swered as they now are under the in
discriminate exercise of the pardon
inr power.

DEAR SIR:--rhe stand you have

nerve and bonea of the land entities
you to the everlasting gratitude OF
every man, woman and child who oh.
tain their bread "by the sweat of their
brow" There is not man IN Ore

does not know that when the farmer
is oppressed every other branch Of
industry suffers. "Dnst thou art, and
unto dust shall thou return" Take
anything temporal you please and
trace il from its origin to its final des-
tination and you will find the soil has
more or less to do with il. Therefore
the farmer is called the "nervo and
bone" of the land. Arc we not op.

Many farmers are going to raise flax

shameful manner in which they have
been swindled out their wheat. We
