MXED.-The republicans Of Mary
land have nominated for the second
place on their ticket a man whom tie
government once incarcera.ed as =
reasonable disunioniSt. The Massa-
chusetts democrats equaIizc things by
nominating for the second place on
their ticket n staunch republican. The
latter distinguished himself by a speech
of conciliation when South Carolina
recently visited Massachusetts, and
was caught up by the democrats As q
good enough exponent Of the Massac-
huSetts democracy. In New York the
democratic ticke; Is headed By one of
Lincoln's Cabinet, and two Of the
great republican papers advocate his
election and that OF his ticket. The
republican state candidates were, a
few years since, more democratic than
republican. One Is never known to
have voted for Grant, and the other
left Grants Cabinet because he dill
not ike the policy Of the:admininis,ea-
tion. The Pennsylvania ticket shows
indications of the same chaotic con
dition OF the political elements. The
currency question in Ohio tossed dem
ocrats aud republicans in the sir. aud
as they strike ground decendins they
begin TO fight Unfortunately.

WALLOvA VALLEY.-An able and accom-
plished writer furnishes us an interesting
sketch Of Wallowa valley, to which we direct
the attention Of cur readers. The suggestion
of the writer that Wallowa valley be set
aside for the use Of Indians who now occupy
the best part of Umatilla county, is an excel
lent one, and in view of events that are just
now transpiring, viii meet with marked
favor. Umatilla Is too much exposed tor
Indian purposes, and WalIowa from Its isola-

SPECIE PAVWENTs.-The Chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee, Scna
tor Sherman, who Is probably better
informed OF the suhicc Of the financial
law passed last winter, providing for
a return to specie payments on January
|, 1879, than any other statesman,
seems to be firmly Of the opinion that
this law will accomplish the object in
tended. He says it does not provide
for the best way, but that congress
would not ana will not hereafter lega-
lie better OF more direct way. He
says We must reach specie payments
before we can reach steady prosperity;
that It Is not \ pleasant process, but
that the difficulty in the way is exag-
gerated. In regard 10 the process of
reaching specie payments for which
the law provides, the Senator says:
The bill itself gives 10 the Secretary Of the
Treasury almost unrrstriutsi power 10 prepare
for resumption. by the sale cf bonds and the
accumulation Of coin. The general reduction
uf the gre,nhack circulation. and the accumu-

GRANTS LAST BID.-A Washington
special says Grants lengthy speech at
Des Moines is construed but in one
way among nearly all classes Of politici-
ans, and that is, that he does not return
to private life in 1876. The speech
was not particularly called for, as he
has remained silent on a good many
more important occasions He has al
so been slowly making his cabinet
over in compliance with the popular
standard. In his own opinion he is
one of the few statesman Of the age,
and he believes tha t the entire country
rests upon his shoulders. lie has lat
terly, III conversation with hIs friends,
indicated an interest in pubic affairs
that denotes great change III hls
mind. No one in the past has ever
carried the burdens Of the presidential
office easier. He has been absent
from Washington ever since the mid
die of May this year, and will not re-
turn there until the middle of October.
During his absence he has attended 10
but the petty routine of small
and has really had less /
care upon his mind than an average /
treasury clerk.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The Governor thinks the salary of
the superintendent should be increased.
Three hundred dollars per annum is a
very inadequate compensation for the
discharge Of the duties which should
be performed by competent superin-
tendeat. Our school system of which
he IS the head, has not as vet been
fully inaugurated, owing in particular
at least, to the fact that the present
and former superintendent could not
afford to devote the requisite time and
attention to the duties of the office.
In lieu Of a fixed annual salary. |
would recommend that the superipten-
dent he paid a certain amount per
a'sD' t3r the time actually employed,
and travelling and incidental expenses !;
the maximum amount TO be fixed at
such sum as as may be deemed lust
and proper.

the territory, who, from the pecuniary
inability of their parents, are recelV-
ing no instruction. The condition OF
this unfortunate class, even with all
the knowledge that can be impaired
to tsem through the various systems
of education which have been devised,
naturally awakens our deepest feel
ings of sympathy and commisseration.
But when they are allowed to grow
up ignorant and unenlightened, except
As to those things within the range of
their vision, their situation Is sad and
lamentable in the extreme. We
should therefore afford every facility
for the education OF these untortunates,
aud to supply, to some extent, at least,
the important senses, OF which they
are derived. A humane sentiment to
which all good men will give hearty
assent.
PROSPECTS OF THE TERRITORY.
The Governor is hopeful Of the
future Of the territory. It's growth
and prosperity may not be SO rapid for
several years to come as many hope for
and desire. But with our agricultu-
raj advantages, our commercial and
manufacturing facilities and our min
eral resources, we can confidently pre-
dict certain and steady advancement
in wealth and population, the extent
of which will be determined mainly
by the efforts We put forth to secure
it. Indications of increasing prosper
ity are manifest. The feelings d,
des,, ondency existing in the minds Of
many, after the suspension Of work on
the n. p. r. r., have passed away.
Our people are becoming more self
reliant, more energetic, more enter
prising. This is one of the hopeful
signs of the present, Many have
learned by the experience Of more
than twenty years, the practical lesson,
that little dependence can be placed
upon foreign corporations or foreign
capital to build np and develop our
territory, and that human life will
probably have to be materially eX-
i. tended, to enable them to realize any
substantial benefits from those sources.
Many are also learning that the mex
haustible resources Of our territory
can be gradually and proftably devcl,
oped by active and energetic personal
efforts, without through railroad con
nectiOn, and our position as one OF the
most prosperous and favored OF the
territories can be fully maintained.
