WHAT THEY FOUND OUT

The Congressional Committed
which is now insssession in New Or
leans, investigating the troubles
down there, are getting some lively
tleas put into their ears and will &C
back to Congress with lively burf
to put under that dignifed body {
croopor, The dispatches tell us that
conclusive evidence was given before
tho Committee that "eolored clubs
existed which voted with the Con
seryatiyes because tired of existing
evils. Others testified to the de-
prossion of business in New Orleans,
Gttnbuting it to the oxorbitant taxes
and general want of confidence, The
general impression is that misrule
and fraud is the occasion of the
troubles. y "Colonel Miller,
testified to tho condition of affairs
generally in Mississippi, and attrib-
utod tho trouble to the utter inabili-
ty of the whites to control tho negro
vote and keep il from the influence
Of caypet-baggers and political ras-
Gals, He stated that since the war
lands had deprecated fifty to seventy.
five per cent, in value, and that
taxes were so high the people were
unable to pay them, and in many
cases allowed their land to be for
feitod TO tho State,
We wonder II that Congressional
Investigating Committee will have
the sand in its giz2ard and the hon
osty Of its heart to go back to Wash
ington and tell Grant to remove his
soldiers from the South and allow
the people of those bayonot-cursed
and carpet-b bag ridden States to "rog-
ulate their own domestic concerns
according to thoir own judgment%
1t is to be hoped that they win have
sufficient manhood to obey the de-
tails of common honesty and justice
and mako such a recommendation as
will relieve the southern people from
their present expressions,

the front and proclaim its own shame
by endorsing the act. Every decent
Republican in Oregon will hang his
head in chagrin and humiliation at
the Bulletins conduct while the peo-
pie Of other portions Of the United
States, who may chance to hear of
it, will have their precohceiyed ideas
of Pacific coast barbarity only the
more strongly impressed upon their
minds. We expected better than
this even from the Bulletin, and can
only account for its shameless and
reckless course by remembering the
fact that its very life hangs upon its
abject fealty and cringing submis-
sion to its Washington masters
The reproach and ignominy Of such
shameless utterances as appeared in
its columns Of last Wednesday can
never be expiated or atoned.

ONE MORE SCREW rURNEp ON.

The most trying nuisance ever
perpetrated by an abolition Congress
is just now gone into operation,
much to the disgust as well as injury
OF every newspaper published in the
land. We allude to the lately en-
acted law which compels the pay
ment Of postage on newspapers as
on letters. 1t tcompels the publisher,
who has only charged living rate
for his paper, to go down in his
pocket and fork over additional sums
from his nett earnings in payment of
post which has always been paid by
the subscriber at the post Office where
the paper is delivered. This is a
palpable system of extortion which
was resorted to as a punishment up
on thenewspapers of the land which
denounced the corruptions and vii
lainies of the very Congress which
concocted this scheme of revenge
They knew well it would not kill off
Republican papers, as they are, with
rare exceptions supported by either
rich corporations, government print
ing swindles or from the national
Republican corruption fund "a fund
which is extracted from the hard
earnings of government clerks, Gus
tom-house employees and other pub
lie servants, who are continually
taxed and black-mailed for this ne
farious purpose.
And the hard.taxed farmer, me
chanic and laborer foot the bills for
all these infamies while the rich land !
holder gathers in his vast profits and
pays nothing.
But thank God there is light in
the offingl
The people are rolling on the char
lot wheels of Democracy, and anoth-
er year will bring forth the glorious
fruits Of our labors and prayers.
With the national Democratic vic
tory which will come next year will |
also come peace and tranquility to our
country, both North and South it will
bring an early abolition of the high
protective tariff villainly, which is de-
3troying our commerce, impoverish-
ing the bone and sinew of the
Great West and turning the tide of
European immigration back from our
shores to the more prosperous and
INVITING industries of "the Father
and" It will reduce the national
expenses and lower the rate of taxa
ion nov enforced to support a mill
ary family in Washington and
tanding army to intimidate the
southern States into giving Radical
ictories. ..
We will pay our postage in adj !
ance, in conformity with tho infa-
nous law, as other poor people are |
equired to pay their extortionate
axes throughout the land; and also,
Ike them, we will watch and pray
Or that political millennium which :

A DEFIANT CAM FnonI T1LToN.

BRooELyN, Dec. -Tilton has ad
dressed a card to the public concern
ing the two trials-one civil and tht
other criminal involving his contro
versy with Beecher. Tilton says ht
has made charges against Beecher
and. has already proven them to the
belief of three-quarters of the peo.
pie OF the nation, including the legal
profession, He now waits to repeat
and solemnize this proof in Court
Of law. He then goes on to say
"The civil suit is continually thwart-
cd by o strange, unexampled de-
mand for o catalogue Of particular
dates, places, etc. It is an affront to
ethics and equity to limit Beecher's
fourteen months of adultery to two
days. Accordingly, L give the pub
lie due notice that SO far as the civil
case is concerned, l shall go Into
Court on the first day when | am
permitted to carry all my evidence
with me, but never while am to
leave -tenths of this evidence
outside the door. In other words,
to try Beocher for adultery, with
that sin carefully forbidden to be
proven, is farce which l am hardly
qualified to play in these sad days
Meanwhile, since Beecher is seeking
to battle my case against him, | chal-
lenge him to end this by-play of
strife over bill of particulars by
calling up his case against me, This
he has power to do at any moment.
| am advised, and believe, that the
cunning managers Of Beecher's safe
ty are seeking to contraveno the
ends Of justice by strategem, and
that as soon us his counsel shall have
restricted me so as to make my proofs
inadmissible, their plan is to with
draw the indictment against me,
which is to be explained to the pub
lie as an act Of unexampled magma
nimity by Beecher toward me. BY |
these devices Mr.. Beecher is to es-
cape altogether" Tilton then asks
the public to unite on determining
That Mr.. Beecher shall not have the
the moral support Of the community,
md that he be stopped by public
opinion from imposing restrictions
upon his (Iilton's) case, or else that
ne shall bring criminal prosecution
against Beecher forthwith. Tilton's
,ard is dated December 25.

INTERESTING OREGON LTTnnAruRn.

We notice in the Penn. MonH,ly,
for january, highly interesting pa
per, from the facile pen of Hon.
Geo. Il, Curry, Ex-Governor of Ore
gon. It is entitled, "The Pioneer
Government of Oregon, and is one
of the most elegantly composed ar
ticles to be found in tho periodical
literature of the day. Among other
good things which the writer says,
we find the following elegant tribute
to tho good sense of our early pio-
neers. "0regon has experienced
three different characters of Gov
ernmont, First, the Pioneer or
Provisional; afterwards the Terrific
riul, under the jurisdiction of the
United States, and now tho superior
authority of the State. The first
was government as good and sufi-
ciept for all practical purposes at the
time of its existence, and as much
respected, as either of the others.
Where the public interests were sed-
ulously observed, the highest regard
was manifested for individual rights.
The law has been supreme, its maj
esty held inyiolate always in Oregon,
since its first enactment by the pio-
noors, Wiso in its simplicity, po-
tent in the measure Of justice and
right it maintained, its fundamental
principles were the same as those
which sustain the jurisprudence Of
to-day"
Thearticle throughoutiso of somuch
merit, and will bo of SO much in
terest to our readers, that we expect
to publish it in full next week in our
