The Due D'AuALE,-The Tumor
given in the Pas dispatch to the
S. +. Gail. that oe of the Orleanlst
Princes and preteilers to the French
throne-Duc d'Amale, fourth son OF
Louis Philippe about to marry
Princess ThYra oiDenmark, the sister
of the Princess c Wales and of the
wife of the comig Car Of Russia, Is
anything but assring to the mmuta-
bility of Presidelt MacMahon's posi-
ton. Although it was Indignantly
denied st the tiFe, rumor was clr-
culaied six monns ago, that Premier
Buffet was intriguing to bring about
the resignation Of President MaeMa
hon and the deviation of the Duc
d'Aumale TO lie Presidency. 1t is
very likely thatthe French Conserva-
tives who are got Bonapartists will
desire to make lse Of the name OF tins
brave and rich erleanist TO serve their
ends. and to at least threaten Macs
Mahou with a successor. The Due
d'Aumale, who was so long an exile
during the last Napoleonic reign, will
in all likelihood be elected President
of the new senate, the most dlgnihed
position in the republic-a position in
which, with hii tact, he can win gol>
den opinions. He is in middle life, at
present a widower without IN heir,
and loves Frame above everything else
and all the more because of his long
exile from it. 1t Is not Surprising that
the umor Of his marriage, which
would form such an alliance with Russ
sia AMI Great Britain, should create
political comment.

NENEsIs-The New York World
aptIy remarks The proceedings in
the whisky suits at st. Louis are as
suming a most serious, over shadow
ing shape. Secretary Bristow has al
ready deserved we'll of the country
for the courage and decision With
which he has pressed these suits. He
will deserve bitter yet of the country
if he perseyeres in the face Of revela-
tions which, as the Washington des,
patches to-day plainly show, are begin
ing clearly to implicate persons i'm
mediately ana intimately connected
with the President of the United
States. The names of General Bah
cock, the private Secretary, and of
Lieutenant Colonel Frederick Gra Ii: ,
the son of the President, are drifting
with what seems to be fatal certain
t. and speed into the m2istrom of this
investigation. The probabilities now
are that against a loss to the trea u Y
of some SAT. 900, 600 these proceeding S
will secure q restoration Of no more
than 100000. The bringing home
SO enormous system Of robbery to
the very doors of tie white house Will
assuredly dwarf all other issues of the
moment, and make the exposure and
punishment of this gigantic conspiracy
memorable and important in our his
tory.

THE WmsKGY RNG TRIALs.-The
st. Louis whiskey ring has been pretty
efectually broken uP, resulting IN
placing Revenue Agent Joyce and
Supervisor Mcdonald within the walls
of the Missouri Penilentiary, and
causing a verdict Of guilty IN the
Avery case, the Judges sentence in
which will not be rendered until the
remaining trials Of Babcock and others
have been concluded. The trials Cf
the whiskey ring case in the United
States Court in Chicago, in which it
is expected similar results will follow,
have been set to begin January II,
1876, before Judge BIodgett; and if
care be exercised in selecting such a
panel as will secure an equally inrelli-
gent and incorruplib,e jury as that at
st. Louis, the interest Of the people Of
the United States will be protected
for time at least, or until such time
as revenue officers shall arise that

The FRsr STATE ELEcrroS.-The
| first State election of the Centennial
and Presidential year will be that of
New Hampshire, early in March. 1t
is thought that the republicans will re-
nominate Governor Person o. Cheney,
and depend upon his generally salts
factory administration to re elect him,
At the New Hampshire election OF
March last there was no choice of gov
ernor on the popular vote, and Cheney,
the republican. Candidate, was elected
by the Legislature in joint session in
June. The republicans will have
some advantages at the next election
which they did not possess at the last.
All the state offices, including that
Of governor, are now filled by repub-
licans, whose party at Washington has
since pursued the policy of somewhat
unloading itself of Objectionable Off
GERS and of prosecuting frands, so that
New Hampshire republicans may be
less dissatisfied with their party, and
fewer of them the next election be in
clined to vote with the democrats
The latter, On the contrary, by defeat
inc the will of the people last Spring
in throwing out some thousands OF
their votes intended for Nathaniel
Head for the Senate, which were cast
for Nathaniel Head, and by similar
acts may have lost the confidence o.
tho people. Although New Hamp-
shire may be ciasSed among the re-
publican states, 50 far as the elections
Of the year now closing are concerned.
yet il is claimed, with its five eIector-
al votes, by both parties for 1876, the
New York HeraLd, among others,
placing it among the democrats. Ac-
cording to the claims of both parties
of what they expect to carry next Fall,
the race is to be very close one, and
even the five votes of New Hampshire
will prove a prize for which both par
ties will struggle. 1t being the first
State to vote after it shall have been
known what course the democratic
United States House of Representa-
tives shall take in its legislation, there
will be much political significance at
tached to the result of its March eIec-
ticn. Senator Gordon of Georgia, and
Congressman Lamar of Mississippi,
will probably be too much occupied
in Congress to take part in the cam
paign, as they did last February, even
if 1t be not thought bad policy for
these confederate generals to stump a
Northern State.

CoUYr NoN ARSHW, who has been
indicted AM tried a compile Of times al>
ready by the German government, is
now to be tried for treason, for the
publication Of certain pamphlet res
fieeting upon the Emperor and EJap>
ress. Since Bismarck got cut of the
war business, ne does not appear TO he
ratisiied. He is Just all the time spoil
ing for fight, and as he has thus far
been unsuccessful in getting any for~
eign nation to knock the chip off his
shoulder, he eases himself of his extra
energy by lighting the Jesuits and
Count Won Arnim. Buff the Count
suffers this time more severely than
heretofore, he will have himself to
blame for his misfortune. He ought
to have been made wise by his former
experience. There is no use in kick =
ing against the bricks.

PROTEsTS.-The Olympia CO,Hierpro.
tests against the re adjustment of the
boundaries Of Oregon and Washington
Territory. 1t thinks the territory none
too large now, as far as population is
concerned" and fears that if the pro.
cess of disintegration is commenced, it
will GO on until the whole of the ter
ritory is ABSORBED, This suits US ex-
actly. For years the territory has
been in comatoSe condition, and the
sooner it is allowed to die out the bet
ter. \ proper arrangement would be
to give Oregon the whole of the Puget
Sound country, and in exchange for
this organize the country east Of the
mountains into a new territory. We
should then have natural boundaries.
and an organization that would secure
harmony aud 4 unity of interests.
With the "clam" country we have
nothing in common, aud 4 political
union with the Sound people has be
come diStasteful to a great majority
of our people. This arrangement,
however, We despair Of obtaining, and
hence as choice Of evils, We favor
annexation to Oregon. We could
then exercise some influence upon
such questions as the improvement Of
the Columbia River, the regulation OF
freights and fares, and many other
issues that come right home to the
pockets Of our people. We are now
tied to a dead carcass that is repre-.
sented in Congress by non-voting
delegate-spolitical eunueh-who has
no interest in common with us. and
whose highest ambition is TO secure
appointments for his Puget Sound
friends. Such an alliance may suit
our neighbor OF the Courier. but the
people living east of the mountains
are tired of it, and will gladly vel.
come q transfer to Oregon-and the
position of equals in moulding the des-
TIMES of live State. Our voice Is
for annexation.

ALAsKA.-Senator Mitchell has in
troduceed bill annexing Alaska to
Washington territory. An improve
ment in our opinion would be to an,
mex Puget Sound to Alaska, and
transfer all the river and eastern
counties to Oregon. This would make
Oregon a magnificent State, and al
the same time it would leave the
"clam eaters" and "seal catchers "
in an organization by themselves. 1t
would also be N accordance with
the eternal fitness of things, and as
such we recommend it to the con
sideration of Oregon's distinguished
Senator.

Forty MILLIONS \ YEAR.-Thirty
years ago the total expenditures of the
United States were about forty mill
ioEs year. Under Martin Van Buren,
whose administration was charged
with a lavishness Of expenditure un-
becoming republican form of govern
ment, the annual expenses were about
S37 100000 Now the city of New
York, with population of about one
million, raises Sl0,000,000 in taxes.
The Herald SAYS the rate of taxation
for 1876 will be over three per cent.
The same journal calls for a radical
reconstruction Of the city government.
The municipal departments are now
run AS political asyIums, not as busi-
ness offices, and then there are too
man y departments, too many bureaus
in department, and too many high
sal aried commissioners and other Off
GERS living without labor on the public
treasury. New York runs to com
missioners. There are commissioners
for everything. 1t is respectable
title, a vague title, and one which car
ries M defined duties. A commissioner
Is generally a fellow who looks on
and sees other people work. For this
he is paid about four times as much
as the men who perform the labor.
New York has four police commits
sionprs, four of Park, and three each
Of fire, docks, taxes and assess.
mentS, and charities and correction.
Here are twenty commissioners, and
without doubt each one has his politi-
cal pets, for whom snug places are
made. The HerdId calls on the legis.
Iature to simplify this business. De
! partmentS should be consolidated, and
the number of bureaus reduced by
one half. With some reforms, which
are pointed out, the Herald thinks
their tax levy could be reduced from
thirty to forty per cent. Could this
/ be done, New York would enter upon
a new period of prosperity. The tax
gatherer is now S'raugIiUg the business
of that city by a slow, but sure and
effectual process. No city iu this

ResolrS, That in the opinion of this house
the precedent established by Washington and
other Presidents of the United States, in re-
tiring from the Presidential office, after their
second term, has become by universal con-
currenca, part of our republican system of
government, and that any departure from
this time-honorel custom would be unwise,
unpatrDtic, and fraugh5 with peril to our
free institutions.
The yeas and nays were called,and
ont of fall House but Is menu 5erS

The vote was 232 for, and IS against.

immediate representatives OF the peo
pie be will deem it best to draw cut.

SUDDEN DEATHAOur neighbor
town Of Wilton was aghas: last
Thursday afternoon with the news
that Mr.. J. L. Reed had peen thrown
from his buggy aud received injuries
which must prove fatal-as they did
do at seven o'clock the next morning.
The deceased is widely known
throughout this region, having been
at Wilton for soms twenty years and
through many of them taking a lead
ing position as banker, grain, live
sock and real estate dealer. Mr.
Reed had erected number OF the
best buildings in Wilton. and done
much in many ways toward advanc-
ing the material interests of the
place. This it was natural for him
to do, as it was there that he began,
continued and concluded the sue
tessful business career, which leaves
IN estate Of some 100000; but his
loss will be none the less severely
felt by the place.
The deceased was about As wears
of age, and leaves wife and two
children. A sister, Mrs. Davis, has
for many years been resident OF
Upton.
