/ Not Played Out.

The Radical politicians have been
assuring the people for some years
past that the doctrine of States Rights
was a monstrous political heresy,. and
that it is entirely played, out, hay
ing been completely doneafer by the
recent amendments to the Federal
Constitution; but the Supreme Court
of the United States every member
of which, with solitary exception,
was appointed under the ireignIof the
Republican psrty,nsserm to think
Otherwise. That "ttfbana4, with A
with full bench, afterA long and lar
bored argument. and a thorough con-
sideratiou, have decided, iin, TWO sew
eral cases, Involving q construction i0t
the late amendments to the Constitpr
ton, that those amendments do not
alter the relations which have hither4
to existed betweem the State and Fed
eral governments; that they were ops
| ly intended to prevent the Statessfrom
abridging the rights, privileges and
immunities of the negro, and that be-
yond this they do not touch the rights
or powers of the. States themselves.
] SO, it would seem that this doctrine,
so much despised and hated by the
party in power, is, in reality. sound
principle, firmly rooted in the Consti'

What 1t Costs.

Some people seem TO think the back
pay voted to themselves by Congress
men is all there is of the salary grab,
when, in fact, it is but mere drop In
the bucket. The million and half
pilfered from the treasury at the very
close of the last session is the smounnt
drawn from the pockets of the people
every year in the future, unless the
thieving act be repealed, and repre-
sents the annual interest on .SlS,-
100000. The act for increasing the
salaries from 5000 to $500 imposes
perpetual annual charge on the
treasury and the people of $500, ,OOO.-
This is exactly five per cent. on SlS,-
100000 which is the rate at which
tie treasury is now borrowing mon-
ey. The effect of the increase of sala-
ries is that. therefore, which would
have been produced if Congress, had
issued bonds for $1S.OOOOO0. sold
them, and stolen the proceeds and left
the people to pay the interest on them.
That act would have compelled an
annual tax of just $500 900, and this
is just what the people have now had
added to their taxes, by the sw1ndiing
operation of their representatives.. 1t
would have been cheaper for. the
treasury. and the people, in the end,
if the rascaIs had voted themselves .
plump sum of $4,000 apiece, and
gone home with the plunder. This
would only have taken q little over
SIG, 100000 out of the treasury, in
stead $l0,0OO,OOO, as the thing now
stands. The upshot of the whole OPP

"Time at last. makes all things

more fully exemplified than in the
case Of the heartless murder Of poor
Mrs Surratt who was offered up as a
victim to blood-thirsty mob who
unfortunately had the power to exc
cute all sorts of villainies during the
late unholy war. We see already
how they twist and squirm these Rad
ical leaders, to throw off responsible
ty TOR the judicial murder of Mrs.
Surratt, When the unfortunate wo.
man was standing bllnd-folded and
pinioned under the gallows, and her
daughter was beating her heart out
on the flinty steps to the White
House, there was not one of these
worthies--now. so anxious to appear
clear Of her blood that made an eff,
fort to stay the arm of the execution
en- Mrs. Surratt was hanged amid a
howl Of exultation, in which nobody
howled louder than Holt, Bingham,
Speed, Stanton, Howard, and the rest
of the clique which ruled in Washing
ton at that time. But every man
Of them has been trying TO wriggle
out Of his share of infamy ever since.
The most terrible and prostrating
blow Butler ever dealt his rival,
Bingham, in Congress, was the taunt
he hurled at him of having helped to
hang Mrs. Snrratt. "Thank God,n.
cried the immaculate spoon collector,
"the blood of that woman is not on
my skirts" Bingham fairly wilted
and wept, and then he Indignantly de.
aied that he was guilty of participat.

Judge Holt attempted to shift the
responsibility upon Andrew johnson.
Il is well known that Andy says that

A GERMAN DISPLACED roR A NEGRO.

Secretary Fish has recently re-
called Consul Klauprecht, n German
American, from Stuttgart, and ap.
pointed in his place Mr.. e. D. Sam.
mis-, a Florida negro. Thereupon the
Washington Sentinel, organ of the
National Brewers association, com
ments as follows:
We venture to say that Mr. Fish,
by removing German American,
and appointing negro as Consul in
Germany, has rather paid an ugly
compliment to the worth and estima.
tion of our citizens of German birth.
There are nearly twice as many Ger
man American citizens living in this
country as there are negroes, and if
Mr. Fish wanted TO give one of the
latter q consulate no might easily
have found another place than Stutt-
gart, and without being necessitated
to remove German from Germany
for tho purpose Of making room for
an African. Nor will Mr., Fish sue
oeed in excusing himself by pleading
the necessities of the service or the
greater efficiency Of his last selection,
for II is very hard for our American
Germans to conceive that a negro
will make a better consul at the oapi.

WHAT Is A GRANGEs

The Rstr0I World gives us the most
correct conception of Grange and
its objects in the language which we
quote as follows:
A Grange is an organization of far.
mers. It has for its object improve
ment. 1t is designed to elevate and
enlighten the farmer It would bet.
ter qualify him for his God,given pro.
tession. 1t aims to bring about these
objects by association. 1t -unites
those of the same calling into one
grand brotherhood for the protection
Of all. 1t establishes in every neigh
borhood lecture room-which is the
Grange itself--in which the most i'm
portant truths are unfolded 1t dis
seminates valuable information, that
all may be benefited. II collects as
as well as disseminates. 1t receives
knowledge, as well as dispenses it,
1t is an intellectual institution. 1t
calls for exercise of the mind II
brings mind in contact with mind,
and, by the contact, other minds are
illuminated by the friction 1t draws
out latent talent. 1t makes active
md tangible what has been before
larment and unseen. 1t shows the
of cultivating brains as
veil as soil. 1t demonstrates the fact
hat as rich harvests are developed
~ brain culture as soil culture-that
,reat crop Of weeds has grown up and
mothered out the useful plants, by the
Ieglect Of brain culture. The Grange is
social institution. 1t makes a grand
'rotber and sisterhood. 1t unires by
trong ties, those that have before
een strangers. 1t makes each feel
n interest in all, and all in each. 1t

ate. 1t administers comfort to the

The officers arrested all the parties

At Sageland precinct, Kern county,
on election day, difficulty occurred
between Larry Watson and Moses
Gilman. The former asked Mr. Gill
man who he had voted for. On re-
ceiving a reply Watson struck Gilman
on top of the head with pisotol,
crushing his skull and causing death
in few moments. Robert Peppard
and others attempted to arrest Wat
son, and to intimidate him fred a
shotgun over Watson's head. Wat
son then drew his knife and stabbed |
Peppard, inficting mortal wound.
Peppard then dropped his weapon,
closed and disarmed the murderer,
and stabbed him in vital part. Both
died within minute Of each other.

CHINESE SHEEP.

During recent visit to the State
Fair we were shown number of vari
eties of sheep, ranging in breed from
the Merino, Cotswolds, ETC., down to
the common stock, but we have just
heard of an entirely new breed, speci-
mems of which are owned by Mr.. 9.
j. Mulkey, who imported them direct
from China per good ship Edward
James. They are described to us as
being about one-third larger than our
common sheep, with a fleece varying
from l8 to 20 inches in length and of
remarkably fine texture. The wool
is almost wholly devoid of yolk or
grease and of unusual weight. Their
ears are large and droop over like
those of hound, while their noses
are of the Roman style, rounded off
from the forehead down, their tails
being about eight inches long, rang
ing from four to FIVE inches in width.
They have no horns, resembling the
celebrated Cotswolds in this respect,
Being possessed of no little hardl-
hood, Mr., Mulkey is of the, opinion
that they will do well in this State,
and he proposes to use them for
breeding purposes. They are quar-
tered on William Stevenson's farm
and are of course attracting consider
able attention among sheep raisers.-
The only question of doubt in the
mind of their owner is whether or not
they can stand our Oregon Winters,
and the present movement is but an
experiment. We believe this flock is
the only one on this coast, consisting
as it does, of three fine bucks and two
ewes,
The Oregon farmers are evincing
enterprise in the intro
auction of choice breeds of sheep,
and this is but one instance of many.
