uAN UGLY RUMOR, -

Such is the heading Of leading
editorial in the 0rego1tian Of the 15tf
inst. This "ugly rumor," is based
upon what the st. Paul Press says
"a gentleman Of high standing, who
has spent much Of his time in Florida
for the last two years, and is acquaint'
ed there, says that since the cleo
tions there are persons in that State
buying up claims for slaves lost by
the war, and paying cash therefor,
the price being in some instances, as
high as $780," The name of this
gentleman of "high standing" is not
given; nor does the article explain
whether his "high standing" is from
the ground up, or whether such is
| his character for truth and veracity
among his acquaintances. Perhaps
it is well no such explanation is Civ
en- for it might seriously embarass
the newspaper, or the man ''of high
standing"
The Oregonian is careful to sug-
gest that: "This is probably q SEN
sational report" The Oregonian
need not have made this suggestion,
for the reading public have long since
learned the sensational" character
of all such absurd newspaper articles.
But the OregOnian ventures a step
further, and says; "lf, however, the
Democracy desire to hasten their re-
pudiation by the people, they cannot
pursue a course that will more surely
and speedily bring that event to pass,
than by giving it to be understood
that their accession to power will
saddle this class of claims upon the
people of this country" There is
no two sides to that proposition" y
"Nor let it be supposed for \ mo-
ment that the Democratic party will
not be held responsible by the peo-
pie for the conduct of the fanatics
who engage, even though they do 80
without the sanction or encourage
ment of the party leaders or ororgans."
Not 80, Mr., 0re5onid'a. The day
was when you could say the Democ-
racy was responsible for the institu-
ton of slavery in the United States,
but the people have learned to know
TINT New England is responsible for
planting that "accursed" institution
upon our soil. The day was, when
you could say, and did say, that De-
mocracy was responsible for the late
civil wpr; but the people no longer
believe it--they have learned that
such declarations are false--that that
civil strife, with all its evil conse-
quences, would never have occurred
if Democratic counsels and policy
could have prevailed. The time was,
when any scallNwag, oarpet-bagger
or negro could falsely accuse the
best citizen Of the South, Of any i'm
aginary offence, have him transport
ed hundreds Of miles from home
for, not trial, but q conviction; tho
time has been, when all these and
more, was done by the Republican
party, but tho people have repudiat-
ed the party and its foul acts. The
party too well under
stands its own interest and the inter-
est of the country to hazard its sue
cess by. any doubtful doctrine or pol
icy. Rest easy, neighbor, the De-
will be restored to power
and the country will resume its want
ed prosperity.

feet, the Chief Justice comes to the conclusion
that the s'wssiver" is binding and so ruled
That is, that the homestead exemption is at
the disposal OF the claimant to do with as he
pleases, or in other words, it is no homestead
lat all, but a two thousand dol1er exemption, ia
ken out of property, either money, personality,
or whatever the claimant my find to make it
UP, belonging to his litors since April, 1869,
which he is at liberty to squander as he pleases,
without reference to a homestead place to
shelter his family. This construction Of the
homestead clause is destructive of the whole OBJ
ject. had in view. The fact that man without
family cannot claim the homestead, is evil
dence that it was intended for the benefit OF
the family Of the claimant, and that it should
be held for their benefit.
In both these decisions of the Chief Justice
there is much that might be said on both sides
But as the Chief Justice lays down the law, ar
gument would be thrown away, addressed te
the point already decided.
