SENsDLE,-In reference to the re,
cent appeal of Governor Davis, ol
Mississippi. for Federal assistance al
Vicksburg, contemporary sensibly
remarks that this custom of calling
upon the General Government to in.
terfero in purely State affairs ''is be-
coming dangerously frequent in the
South, and shows II tendency toward
Capitalization Of power not in ac-
cordance with the true spirit Of re-
publican institutions. II is the nat
uIal result Of the criminal and bung.
hing system pursued by the Wash
ington authorities toward tho South
since the war, and serves to destroy
every yestigo Of Legislative freedom
in that portion of the great Republic.
When the Governor Of State is
obliged to call upon Federal troops
to guard against an anticipated riot
in a mere local election the corrup-
ton or weakness of the State Coy
ermment must be doploablo. Louis
lana, Arkansas and Mississippi are
brilliant examples of the reconstruc-
ton policy Of the present Admins
tration, not to speak of South Caro-.

THE VICKSBURG ELECTION.

A Vicksburg dispatch of the 5th
published in the San Francisco pa
pers, says that the city election passed
off quietly, without disturbance O
any kind. Both whites aud blacks
polled their full registered votes.
Some Of the leading negroes of the
Third Ward attempted to- induce
their followers to leave that poll,
but encouragement for such a course
was strenuously withheald by the
whites. About forty negroes voted
the white ticket, and fonr whites
voted with the negroes. The whites
elected their entire ticket by $50
majority. This is the first political
victory since 1867. The Union flag
and every availablepiece Of bunting
were displayed in honor of the event.
The event justifes the course of
the Administration in refusing to
heed the request Of the carpet baS
Government of Mississippifor troops.
II the Government will follow the
precedent that 1t has established for
itself in the Vicksburg case, we shall
have no more such spectacles as
Louisiana has presented during the
last two or three years. An honest
election, upaccompanied by violence
or disorders Of any kind, has taken
place in Vicksburg in spite of the
Mississippi State Executive. The
people are superior to those in
authority. They have preserved
their society against those who have
been constituted its guardians.

and tyranny is wearing fast to its

The State Of South Carolina has
but one white representative in the
lower house OF Congress, and he, il
seems, is n candidate for reelection.
His name is Wallace In recent
speech which this model Congress-
man, Wallace, made, he is reported
to have said to the colored people,
"your' rights are in peril and you
must defend them. Ii you don't get
them at the ballot-box you must re-
sort to tho cartridge-box' The
Portland .BMieta thinks this is
vicious and wicked advice, and if
true 80 very dangerous speech to the
colored people"
We cannot see why such a speech is
any moro vicious or wicked now than
hundreds of similar speeches were a
few years ago in pretty much all the
gulf States, made by similar worth.
less characters, and no reproofs,
however gentle or mild, were ever
heard from Republican paper or
speaker. Aboutall the local troubles
in the South since tho close of tho
war, including whatever there was in
reality Of the Ku Klux organization,
was brought about by incendiary
speeches Of the character referred to.
The colored people folt safe in acting
upon the "yicious and wicked ad-
vice, and sought in advance Of any
attempt to 'imperl their rights, % to
redress their imaginary grievances
and collision was tho signal for the
cry Of 6sswreciioa, followed by mar
tial law, and the indigcriminato In
carceration Of white men whose inau-
ence would be most feared, These
things were done in we think in the
carly part Of 1872--and in three
counties Of North Carolina, whore the
grand iuTies were composed mostly
OF negroes, had reported that there
was no armed or other opposition to
the execution Of the laws.
Late news from Tennessee indi-
cate that the negroes there have
been receiving and acting upon
vicious aud wicked adyice' to the
extent Of shedding blood. What the
real grievances Of the oolored people
were does nottetappear, butitseoms
they were greatly incensod at the re-
suit Of the election and came to
town heayilyaImed. One negro pol
itician at summersyAle felt himself
authorized to appease tho wrath Of
his colored brethren by swapping a
pistol il the face o. tho Mayor.
But il is encouraging, even al this

nouncing these lawless acts that they
have contributed 70 much to inaugu-
rate. They have sowed to the wind,
brit they shrink from tho task Of

4 FEnsu srARr ON THE NEW volUMB


This issue begins the tenth volume
of the DEMocRAT-the paper having
been established in August, 1866
During eight of the nine years of its
existence the present proprietor,
Mart. v. Brown, has been almost
continuously chief engineer Of the
business as well as editorial depart
ment of the paper, and it is our pride
to be able to state that the character
and standing of the paper has not
only been maintained, but enhanced
in the appreciation Of critical read
ing public during al those years, =
Now the DEMOCRAT is second in inau-
ence and popularity to no provincial
paper on the coast, and as it is to be
the official organ for the State Of Or
egon for the next four years its ap-
probation in public estimation must
necessarily increase.
The constantly augmenting bust
ness Of the office, the almost unpar-
alleled in crease Of Job work, and the
multifarious duties that have crowded

sumption, in the past years, Of the
duties Of editor, local reporter, busi-
ness manager, collector, book-keeper,
mailing clerk, foreman, land when
necessary, roller-boy and devil) have,
to use homely phrase, about worn
us out, and we find it necessary to
change the programme SO as to les
sen our duties as well as responsible
tiles. Hence we have associated with
us, in full partnership, Mr.. c. FL.
Stewart, whose mechanical skill and
business qualifications will greatly
relieve us from many of the respon-
sible cares of the Office and enable us
to devote much more time to the ed
itorial duties and management Of the
paper. Mr.. Stewart is wholly indi-
genious to the DEMOCRAT establish
ment, having grAyitated from an up
premiership through all the stages
Of carrier-boy, journeyman and fore
man to the creditable position which
he DOW occupies joint publisher and q
proprietor OF one Of the best news l
paper offices on the North Pacific q
coast. He is an artistic mechanic, u 1
business man, and his ex- Il
omplary habits warrant us in prom Il
sing our patrons that the DEMOCRAT Il
will lose nothing either in charae-
er or caste, by his association with 9
is proprietary control. The edito- .
'ial management Of the paper will re- "
main unchanged. s. @

l "Mr. Beecher's friends now say
: openly that he was blackmailed il
large amounts for some years, ant
that should Mr.. Moulton tell all ht
knows, the case will assume an en-.
tirely new phase"
The above is q telegram from New
York, of the 10th instant, and most
suggestive dispatch it is too. If Mr..
Beechers conduct has been above
reproach, is it possible that he could
be the subject of "blackmailing'
scheme, even by the most successful
blackmailer that ever practiced the
thieving art? Has Mr.. Beecher's
pastoral duties called him to any
house, knowledge of which should
be kept from the world, OF has his
sacred Office required of him the
performance of any deed that the
world would be the worse for know
ing Of it? Why should the pastor of
Plymouth Church, or any other
church, pay "hush money" to lire
somebody not to tell on him? Not
withstanding the dispatch informs us
that such is the position openly as
sumed by Mr.. Beecher's friends, we
must be permitted to doubt its au-
thenticity, for if true, then is Mr..
Beecher convicted in advance of the
report of his committee. From the
developments thus far, the indica-
tons are that blackmailing has been
practiced, but if so, who made the
levy, or, rather, who was the recipi-
ent OF pecuniary consideration if
one was given, and at whose in
stance was tie contract made? These
are important inquiries now as well
as after further developments are
made, as promised by these friends
of Mr.. Beecher; and while We are
propounding interrogatories here that
may never be satisfactorily answer
ed, we will, with becoming defer
ence to all concerned, PROFOUND one
more. How did it happen that after
Mrs. Tilton had given to her hus-
band q confession Of her guilt in
writing, Mr.. Beecher should have
had in his possession u retraction
from her of all her self accusations?
But, Mr.. Tilton has at last taken
sensible view of the matter and the
'nly view likely to lead to practical
iolution of the question. He has
nut himself loose from the Beecher
Committee and proposes to have the |
lifficulty settled in Court in accord I
nee with the forms Of law. Had
Gr. Beecher pursued this course in i
tead of referring the matter to jury I
# his own selection, he would to the |
ast have had the sympathy of the t
'ublic, and nothing short of proof
lost conclusive could have seriously II
ffected him. But, instead, the first fl
tep he took in the premises cast t,
ortentious cloud over him, from o
'hich he has not yet emerged, nor
as anything in the progress of the il
'ial, if it can be dignifed as such, 8,
'nded in any way to dissipate, but Ii
lther to augment that cloud. 4,
