| WHIcH? = The Portland Bullet,
contained an article few days ago
headed Journalism and Rufiianism ;
in which the following excellent advice
was given:
No newspaper conductor has privil.
ege or warrant to use his columns tc
abuse citizens whom he may dislike
or seek to pour out his private spleen
or malice upon.
As the columns of the above paper
have from time to time been filed
with abuse of respectable citizens like
B. Goldsmith, Esq, Col. Jos. Teal,
VIM. H. Watkinds, of Salem, and
last, not least, Governor Grover, we
should like to inquire under which
head its attacks could be properly
classed-Journalism or Ruffianism ?
There can be no question as to the
head under which that part of the
BalIetta's lucubrations should be
classed which continue to assert that
we acknowledge to thing which we
utterly deny. journalism would never
resort to so base uses.

GRANGE NEWS.

On luesuay. OctoDer l4tD, Deputy
James Tatom organized a Grange at
Bethel, Polk County, called Garretson
Grange. George Eiiars is Master,
and II. Alexander, Secretary.
An old farmer, became seriously i'll,
and was urged by his neighbors, who
thought he was going to die, to call
in minister to pray for him. "To
pray for me! No sir; l am an ongi-

middle-man between me and Almigh.

The Central Grange Association
met in Masonic Hall, in this city, last
Tuesday. In the absence ofPresident
Alexander, Judge S. D. Haley, of Pc.
oria, presided over the deliberations
of the Association. There were some
fifty delegates in attendance and the
session was prolonged from | o'clock
in the afternoon until 10 o'clock at
night. 1t is said to have been o very
interesting and useful meeting, but
not having "ridden the goat" we are
unable to give our readers any fur
ther information upon the subject.
Our city swarmed with Grangers
last Tuesday.
In consequence of the utter impos-
sibility of att ending to the necessary
business at one meeting a month, Leb.

THE PART OF JACKSON : Inc
Richmond Eaquirer says that Grant
played the part Of jackson recently
on a small scale. When Jackson
found the United States Bank roIten
and about to collapse, he removed
the deposits. Grant did the same
when he got private information that
the First National Bank was gong TO
burst. The difference is that Jackson
took away the public money and
Grant took away his own, leaving
100000 of the public money to De
