SrRAws.-The Democratic journals of
Wisconsin claims that the results of
the local elections in that State this
Spring indicate political revolution
in favor of their party. The Mil,oaukee
Ne,cs says that the issues were clearly
defined between the two parties, and a
straight vote resulted in Democratic sue
cesses everywhere. It adds: "This
certainly foreshadows the result on State
officers next Fall. The Democrats, Re-
formers and Liberals will undoubtedly
carry the State by very great increase
of their majorities. And more Of the
result above reviewed, and more of that
predicted to come, is attributable to the
result of the Senatorial election than
to any other cause"

The LooKour.-If the present situa-
alton continues without material change,
the Troy Press shows, the Democratic
candidate for President will receive 1876
votes out of 800 in the electoral col
lege. This is SO large count that oil
the doubtful States may be conceded to
the Radicals without damage. The
brilliant record of some of the Demo-
cratic leaders, contrasts so gloriously
with the base and corrupt subservience
of the Radical chiefs. as to absolutely
guarantee to our party national supre-
macy once more.

EcoNoMY.-The County Commission
ere Saved the county nineteen dollars
by ignoring printing bills, at their late
session, and increased the county ex-
penses ffty-four dollars by prolonging
the session three days beyond the usual
length of time required by former
Boards in transacting the county bust
ness. Such economy may appear COM
mendable but we apprehend that it will
in the course of time reduce the county
to bankruptcy.

OFFICIAL HUCKsTERs.-At the Februa-

Court, that august body proposed to
swap the Courthouse to the town for the
District School-house and 5000 to boot,
AT their last term, finding the trade
was not likely to he consummated, they
voluntarily reduced the amount of boot
to $500. When they meet again they
will probably trade even, and build o
fine Courthouse on the school site.

OUGHT TO HAVE KNOWN BErrER.-
The County Commissioners, at their
late session, adopted the rule of increas-
ing the assessed valuation of property
of citizens who petitioned for reauc-
ton. They evidently regard the fright
of petition" as one of the obsolete
privileges of American citizenship. Tho
people will learn, sooner or later, that
it is not safe to incur the displeasure of
that august tribunal. -.

PRoPAGATING SALMON. --The Portland
Bulletin says that Livingston Stone,
United States Fish Commissioner, pro-
poses to visit Oregon at an early day,
and examine the Columbia River and
its tributaries, to ascertain whether it
is desirable to establish salmon hatch
ing establishment to supply the Co.
lumbia with young salmon, instead of
trusting to the uncertainties of natural
production. This is most important
matter to Oregon, and it is hoped that
the distinguished fish culturist will con-
clude to favor the proposed enterprise.
If the Columbia river cannaries keep
at work it will not be long until sal
mon will be quite scarce; because it is
already demonstrated that not one pei
cent. of the natural spawn is developed
into fish, while IS per cent. succeed by
the artificial plan. The fisheries OF Or
egon are already a source of large in
come, and they should be fostered by
all means at command.

The STEAMBOAT CATASTROPHE. - The
explosion of the boiler of the steamer
Senator, at Portland, on the eth inst,
a brief reference to which was made
in our last issue, is one of the saddest
calamities that has befallen the North
ern Coast for many years. The names
of the persons killed are Daniel McGill,
Captain; Joseph d. Locey, Purser;
George Warner, Fireman; John Crow
ley, and John Cosgrove, Deck-hands.
Felix Evans, passenger and Charles
Grant, Deck-hand, were seriously in
jured. The Coroner's verdict states
that there were probably others killed
or wounded, not reported at the inquest.
The passengers, in the cabin, of which
there were upwards of thirty, escaped
without injury. The Coroner's Jury
found that the explosion was occasioned
by reason of an insuficiency of water
in said boiler; that John V. Smith,
engineer of said boat, acted in the pre-
misses without due caution or circum-
spection, as appears by the testimony
of competent witnesses, and was there
fore guilty of criminal negligence" In
accordance with this verdict, Smith has
been arrested and held for trial.

DEpARrED.-Judge Alice c. Smith,
formerly of this place, and at one time
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
of Idaho, died at Kalama, of Consump-
ton, on the 9th inst. The deceased
was native of Jacksonville, Illinois,
and came to this coast in 1859. settling
in Oregon. In 1858 he removed to this
Territory, and took up his residence at
Gray's Harbor. Since that time, with
the exception of a couple of years in
Idaho, his residence has been contin-
uously in this Territory. He was a
man of kind disposition and genial
character, devoted friend, and up
right citizen. He leaves many acquai-
taeces to sympathize with his afflicted
family in their sad bereavement.
