Radical and Conservative.

Democratic urIeraucus-
fthe bowling mob of infationists in Ohio,
consist of denunciations of Republicans as
Radicals. 1t is quite unnecessary at this time
to give definition of the term ''Radcap' as
applied to political parties, or to that other
term in use, Conservative. 1t is we'll howey-
er to inquire il there is even show of rea-
son in calling the Republicans Radicals, and
the Democrats Conservatives.
The question of paramount interest now
before the country is the currency question.
1t is. an issue which the Democrats have
made, and which the Republicans have ac-
cepted. The Democratic party in Ohio and
elsewhere has taken position in opposition to
contraction and virtually in favor of imitation
and of reputation of the interest on the
public debt. The Republican party every
where has pronounced for the resumption of
specie payments. The Democrats are carried
away by wild and visionary schemes of
finance. They camor for the abolition OF the
common currency of the world, for the dem
Meditation of the precious metals, for the
adoption of paper currency as bad or worse
than the French assignats. Regardless of the
wisdom of ages and of the teachings of ex-
perience they cry out for the overturning of
the present money standard, and for the set
ting up of a new and variable one. On the
other hand the Republicans cling to that
standard Of value in general use by the
world, and refuse to wander from the path
marked out by the great financiers of all
times. The Democrats advocate great and
radical changes. The Republicans conserva-
lively adhere to the ancient financial system.
Which party, on this question Of currency,
is the Radica. and which the Conservative.
The Republicans had no objection to be
called Radicals wien the term meant the up
roofing of slavery and kindred denominations,
but they do rot propose to uproot the finan-
cial system of the world and set up a new
standard of value; that they leave to the
Radical Democracy.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Isaac BA0Gs. - Counselor Isaac
Baggs we'll known to old Humboldt
ers passed here last evening going west.
He said he had been to Wyoming Ter
ritory, where he fell heir to six thous-
and, mot one less, lhead of cattle, look
ing after his herds. Mr. Baggs is anx-
ieus to learn the name of the man who
traduced him last winter while bill
for an appropriation Of few thousand
dollars for services rendered by him to
the Territory of Nevada, at the time of
the Never-sweat war in Honey Lake
Valley, was pending in the Legislature.
Mr. Baggs is rich, immensely rich, now
and he expresses determination to ex-
pend part of his fortune in making
it warm for that man. He will not
probably find him as there are few men
living who are capable of doing what
he accuses that imaginary individual

MINE SoLD.-The Independent mine
at Varyville has been purchased by San
Francisco parties for thirty thou
sand dollars. 1t was owned by j.
III. Vary, Badly Green and .. A.
Hyatt. The deed was signed and nc.
knowiedged yesterday by some of the
owners before j. ii. Job, County
Clerk. We olso understand that an
offer has been made for the Badger
mine in the same district, but the mine
owners refuse to accept it. 1t will be a
fortunate thing for Bartlett creek if
few of the moneyed men of San Fran
cisco become interested there, as from
what We can learn, capital is needed to
develop the mines in that locality.

The Court adjourned until 7:15

The Court adjourned until tbs
o'clock.
Before the examination began the
Court stated that the question under
advisement had been considered, and
the objection was sustained. Counsel
for defendant excepted, and the excep-
ton was allowed.
The direct examination of Spencer
was continued. He testifieds l know
the boots Rover wore on the day of the
disappearance of Sharp.
The Sheriff, in answer to request to
produce the boots, said that he did not
know what had become of the boots.
Judge Leonard asked for an order re-
curing the Sheriff to produce the
boots that Rover had on when arrested.
The boots. said counsel. were worn by
defendant in Jail, and they should be
available to the Sheriff.
Cross-eeamined By Mr.. Bonnifeld !:
Live wherever can get a job, and am
not particular what the job is; McWor-
thy has not spoken to me about the
trial since yesterday morning, before
the Court met; talked with McWorthy
three or four times about the murder;
told him what Rover said about the
case when l was over at the mine; ]
am positive that have stated Rover's
exact words; am positive he did not
say We got away with man " in
stead of II got away with man."
made it my business to hunt for
Sharp's tracks; did not measure de-
PENDANTS boots, nor the track which
the Sheriff measured; / saw Rover's
old boots at the camp; they were not
tap-soled.
FL. Nc Worthy recalled: Dontknow
whether Sharp left any money at the
camp; saw him have money at Mill
City the day before; it was in gold
coin; think he had about 500 with
him in Mill City; defendant said he
had no money when he left California;
never saw him have any since.
Cross-eGan,ined by Mr.. Bonnitield i:
Sharp drew from bank in Oakland,
CAL, on the Odd of March, $3.50; his
handbook showed balance of So, $50;
the book was left in the trunk at Os-
born's ranch, and I have not seen it
since.
James Knapp testified; First saw
prisoner at spring about three miles
from the camp; while in the camp.
Spencer, Rover and myself being pres
emit; the defendant in the course OF con-
versation, snid he thought McWorthy
ought to send out man to help him;
replied that guessed that was what he
brought me out for; Rover said he
hoped he had. that he had got away
with one man, but he did not do it with
hard work; asked if he thought he
could get away with another; Rover
then changed the conversation.
Examined His manner, did
not change when he spoke about get
ting away with the man; was kind of
watching for point on Rover; / did
not 90 out there for the purpose of get
ting points on him.
The Court adjourned until 8 O'Clock
this morning.

ACCIDENT AT RYE PATCH. - Conduc-
tor William Minchin met with a
serious accident last evening at Rye
Patch. The up and down freight trains
meet there, and while Minchin was Mt
tempting to get on to his train while it
was in motion, he missed his hold and
fell under the cars. He was saved
from being killed by Conductor Phipps
of the down train. who pulled him from
under the cars. He was badly cut on
the head over the right eye, and in the
small of the back. He lay insensibls
for about twenty minutes, but at latest
accounts was resting quite easy. He
was too badly injured to stand the ride
up here, and Doctor Hanson was mott
fed of the occurrence by telegraph, and
went down on last evenings freight
train to attend him.

The Daily Oregonian, 30th ult., con-
tains the folliwing item in regard to the
weather at Klicktat: Subsequent to the
rains, considerable snow fell during No
vember, though not enough to cover the
grass, and stock are doing well.
On Tuesday of last week Walla Walla
was visited with snow storm, depth 2
inches. The snow fall seems to have been
a general one ovor all the eastern coun-
try. The depth is said not to very as
much a. usual. 1t was soon heavisr south
and west of Walla Walla. The ground
was slightly frozen.
The Walla Walla Ution says: James
Silcott, of the Paouse Ferry, on Snake
river called on us during the week. He
says that at the time he left there there
was no snow, and that stock of all kinds
was doing well. Mr.. S. has been in this
country ever since white men came here,
and he is of the opinion that we are now
getting about as heavy winter weather as
we will see this season, and thinks we are
going to have very mild Winter.
The Seattle Dispatch of Nov. 10, says:
Mr.. William Denny, gentleman living
some miles north of town, started for
town at o'clock yesterday morning and
arrived here at six o'clock. He counted
325 trees laying across the road. The
telegraph line repaireo who went south
yesterday, found over 100 trees across
the wiros in distance Of two miles.
There are only ten spans of wire lett
standing in distance of 9 miles north.
Our chances of getting any press report
are decidedly slim
