A MINISTER SUSPENDED j. +.
Devore has been tried by an ecclesias-
teal tribunal ut Portland and suspended
from all church relations till the meet
ing of the next Annual Conference.
The sum of his offending seems to have
been certain transactions in connection
with Col. E. G. Kemble, in the adjust
ment of difficulties at the Neah Bay In
dian Reservation. These charges are
contained in twelve separate speci6ca-
tons, and embody those of SANDER,
making false returns as to the number
of days employed in performing certain
labor for the Church and Government,
and for circulating falsehoods. Three
of these specifications have been sus-
tanned, Mr.. Devore, in letter to the
Oregonian, denies the charges, and ap-
peals to his friends and the Church for
a suspension of public opinion until a
further investigation is made.

CONGRESSIONAL TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.

CONGRESSIONAL TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT
A proposition is before Congress &c
regulate the beverages of the people
and prescribe the precise number Of
nips to be taken before breakfast and
the exact quantity of hot-scotch to &c
into respectable nisht-cap. A bill has
been introduced into in the House OF
Representatives providing for the up.
point,nent by the President of FIVE Com
missioners, "whose duty it shall be to
investigate the alcoholic liquor traffic in
its economic, criminal, moral and scien-
titic aspects, in connection with pauper-
ism, crime, social vice and the public
health and general welfare of the peo-
pie, which shall also inquire and take
testimony as to the practical results of
license and restrictive legislation for the
prevention of temperance in the several
States" 1t is not known precisely what
action is contemplated when the report
is submitted, but the movement is be-
l:eved to have been inaugurated by
radical reformers with view of secur-
inga national ..prohibitory liquor law
If so, the project is one which opens on
dangerous ground, and may lead to un-
fortunate results. A vigorous and eff
cient law, however, toiprevent the man
and sale of adulterated liquors, would be
step in the right direction, for the
drugs with which the public are now
being poisoned are more apt to generate
an irrepressible longing for stimulants
than the strongest wines and liquors that
are pure and genuine.
NOT A PARALLEL CAsE.--The Echo OBJ
jects to the STANDARD having reporter
of temperance proceedings, and APP
peals to us as member of another
order to cease publishing the" private"
workings" of the order of which it pro-
fesses to be champion. When we be-
long to an order that breeds discord, it
will be time enough for it to extend its
fraternal counsel. One of the chief
aims of the Echo for many years, has
been to induce the belief that the STAND
ARD was edited by one habitually &C.
customed to the use of strong drink,
and ineligible for any position of profit
or trust on that account Tne lodge
has sustained tine Echo as it's mouth
piece, and must share the blame that
attaches for this unwarranted course. Is
it at all surprising that we should ex-
pose the hollowhearted professions of
the ring-leaders of the Little Tammany
who profess to own and run the order?
Is it expected that we will allow the
Echo to apply all the epithets found in
the temperance vocabulary to us and
our friends, and refrain from sticking q
pin whenever their baser parts are ex-
posed? If it does, it gives US credit for
much more Christian meekness and
philanthropy than we possess.

tom on the eve of St. Valentines day
to place the names of select number
of the opposite sex in a box to be
drawn by an equal number of the
other sex. The name which fell to the
lot of each person was called his or her
valentine, and they were expected to
stand by the implied contract.

OUR RAILROAD.

The report of Engineer Morris, pub
lished on our first page, should, we
think, settle the question of gauge be-
yond cavil. Aside from the compare
tive cheapness in construction and OPP
Grafton, the narrow gauge possesses adj
vantages apparent at a glance. The
great weight of broad gauge trains,
compared with the weight of the pas
engers and freight carried, would con-
stitute an insuperable barrier to their
use where the amount of business done
is limited. We find in the New York
SIN, al interesting article on the feas-
Utility of this class of railroads. 1t says
there are, at this time, in the several
States and Territories, no less than
irty-eight different narrow gauge
roads, either completed or in the course
of construction, and all of them in actu-
al operation, having an aggregate of
$50 miles of track already laid, and
which, when finished according to the
plans on which they have been begun,
will give an aggregate of 1851 miles.
Practical experience, it affirms, has
shown that ten of the narrow-gauge
cars carry as much freight as eight
broad gauge cars, while one narrow.
gauge car, loaded with five and half
tons of freight, weighs no more than a
broad-gauge car empty. But there is
also very great saving in the cost of
construction and equipment Of narrow
gauge roads over those of the ordinary
gauge, while for mountainous regions
the narrow-gauge has an immense ad-
vantages over the wide in respect of its
superior facilities for taking trains over
sharp curves and up ascending grades.
Indeed, trains can be run over a mar
row-gauge road with comparative ease
where it would be impossible either to
build or operate road of the common
kind.
If all that is said in favor of the mar
row-gauge be true, it would be the part
of wisdom to adopt it, even though we
had unlimited means to build the road.
