The California papers are danoin


The California papers are dancing
on their noses over the discovery o.
a French girl in that State, eighteen
years old, who has hauled cordwood
two trips day, five miles, averaging
q cord and three-quarters to q load
over rocky and mountainous road,
with four horses, nearly every day
the past Summer. She is usually
the first one on the road in the morn
ing and frequently the last one at
night. She sits high on her spring
seat, with her whip and four lines in
her hands and her foot on the brake,
managing her team with as much
grace and ease as any man.
To all Of which the Portland BuL
letia very justly adds: "That French
girl is good girl. That we would
not be SO ungallant as to dispute.
But where is our Lane county girl
that put in eighty acres of wheat,
then took the district school and
"walloped" all the big boys in the
precinct into decency and subjection,
eh2 And when you are talking
about girls with pluck, just bear in
mind that Oregon can produce about
four thousand, now married, to be
sure, and many Of them grandmoth-
ers, each Of whom whacked an OK
team from the Missouri River to the
Willamette Valley; stood guard
against savage Indians on the Plains,
scaled three ranges of mountains,
reached the promised land in triumph
to raise family Of thirteen strap
ping boys and girls, and never laid
eyes upon store-made bonnet for
fifteen years Don't mention your
California girls, please.

The Pieagune says: "For the first
time in the history Of the United
States armed soldiers have invaded a
Legislative hall and bayonets used
to oxpel the Representatives Of tho
people f1om their seats. No one
ever dreamed the President had the
right TO employ an army for the pur-
pose Of shaping the organization of
State Legislature. In this case
there was no emergency such as the
law contemplates; there was no call
made upon him through the channel
which the law points out; there was
no iHsurrection, no invasion. The
General Assembly was in session,
and had not asked HIM to interfere.
Simply, there was an organization Of
the House not agreeable to Kellogg,
and upon Kclloggs reputation the
President sent forces to drag from
their seats members whom Kellogg
asserted had not been properly
chosen to constitute the organization
under his direction, There is no
escape from this statement Of facts. ("

THE FLOODS.

MEMPHIS. Aug. g. Noon.-The river here is
rising steadily at the rate of two inches in
twenty tour hours. Weather cloudy and
threatening. The levees below here as f4l
down as Friar's Point are still reported good
the only break being at the cut in Old Town
levee, through which the water is pouring,
threatening the plantations below from The
rear. The St. Francis, at Madison. Ark, had
risen four feet at IL last night and was rising
rapidly.
This water comes from the Mississippi
River near New Madrid, and threatens the
fine cotton lands above Helena on the Arkan-
sas side. Cotton men predict the loss Of
$4,000 bales of cotton in the Memphis dis
trict alone, from the present outlook.
A letter from the mouth of White River, 21t
miles below here, written on the 4th, says: II
will take foot more water to get on half OF
the cotton outside of the levee. one-third oil
which is now in the water, and foot more
will take in at least half Behind the levees
we can stand three feet without damage. The
corn was planted in low places and is now in
the water and lost
MEMPHIS, Aug. 6-River is rising steadily
having risen inches in the "a hours ending

which overfows entirely the country on the

NEGRO GAMBLING DENS.
Why Are They Not Closed!

Some time ago Superintendent of Police
Loan issued an order to close all the gambling
houses in the city, and that order was obeyed
with commendable alacrity. The houses
were closed and kept closed for long time;
indeed some Of them have since then thrown
open their doors, but there are several on
franklin street which have been in working
order and running for several weeks past.
One of them is situated at the corner of
franklin and Customhouse streets, another is
at the corner of franklin and Bienville
streets, and there is still another in the i'm
mediate vicinity.
They are regular dens, and are frequented
by the most degraded and vicious class Of
negroes, and few white men, lower than
those with whom they associate.
This is not the worst of it, for, strange as
it may seem, in view of Capt. Loans order,
there is not an extra number of police officers
detailed in the neighborhood, to maintain
order.
The right Of these dens to continue in bust
ness, while more respectable CO establish
ments are closed up, is one that may be ques-
toned.

The following authentic incident indicates
the spirit with which political contests were
carried on in Tennessee twenty years ago:
Andrew Jackson and Meredith P. Gentry,
in 1856, were the opposing candidates for
Governor of Tennessee. The leading organ
of the Democratic party OF the State, at that
time, was edited by E. G.. Eastman, who pos
sessed happy faculty for stirring up the
bile of political opponents. We make this
statement in OF der that what follows may be
thoroughly understood. The contest be-
tween the parties was fierce one, but John
son triumpbed. Gentry bowed gracefully
to the will of the people, and retired to his
farm in Bedford county.
Two enthusiastic friends, Col. Matt. Martin
and the Rev. VIM. G. Brownlow, soon paid
him visit. The latter is not wholly unknown
to fame. They tarried several days, and
when they were about to depart, Gentry,
taking down Bible and hymn-book, said:
81 never permit distinguished divine to
visit my house and leave without saying
prayers for the family and the neighborhood.
Brownlow, you must pray" The invitation
was accepted, and after chapter in the Bible
was read and hymn sung, they all got down
upon their knees Among the petitions that
Brownlow offered up was this one: May
the Lord send beam OF grace upon the
heart of Andrew Johnson and his man East
man." Gentry at once sprang to his feet and
exclaimed in loud voice, "Stop, Brownlow,
stop! If that petition is ans wered, the plan
of salvation will be exhausted and the balance
of US will be damned "
