This is what Minnie Myrtle Miller
writes to the San Francisco Chronicle;
"Dream on, my Oregon Love and
love again, ye dwellers by the mar
gins of the seasl Land Of humid
airs and heavenly drops, let thy
mpidens blush and sigh to own the
tender passion; let thy poets write
sweet madrigals within thy dewy
dingles, and fewer evils will be done
beneath the dreamy shadows Of thy
hills than in lands where they love
not, The editor Of the st. Paul,
(Minn, Press has read this ELUSIVE
gush Of Minnie, and remarks in an
absent sort of n way that perhaps,
after all, the world has been little
to severe on joaquin for his desertion
of his family.

Work on the Walla Walla and
Columbia River Railroad is now pro-
crossing in earnest, Grading from
Dry Greek up is now going on salts
tactorily The route has been changed
somewhat from the original survey, as
the new line at Dry Creek passes
1000 yards or so above Mr.. Lowdin's
house. This change places the road
on better ground and does away with
a good deal Of filing as the ground is
much more level, and isa great saving
in the work Of grading. 1t is deemed
good economy to avoid all heavy fills
in this light soil, ths wind having a
disastrous effect upon all the embark
ments composed of such material as
is to be found along the greater part
of the line between the terminal
points.

Gratis will not work under such lead
ers or on such q platform, and as for
the Republicans, they have about
run Republicauism in all its shapes
to death in their own party and if
they come to US it will be to try
something else They have followed
Republican leaders until they see
our free government is about gone.
And if we will be Democrats; show a
bold frontto corruption; Be now as
ever in favor Of official honesty; in
favor of each State attending to its
own individual affairs, free from the
meddling of a corrupt President, and
that the finances of the Government
shall be used only for its legitimate
purposes-the carrying on Of the
Government-and not for the private
use Of any King, clique, company or
brother-in-law- well, almost any
thing in opposition to Grantism /;
there will be more join us than under
any other policy.
We have just got through winter
that will be remembered; not SO much
on account of the snow as the cold.
The cold was so intense here that
every drop of water was frozen solid
and hundreds of cattle starved to
death for want of water. Even wells
that were never before affected by
the weather were frozen solid. The
thermometer went as low as 90 be-
low zero and few of the old COWS
went even lower The snow was
never over six inches deep, but it put
q hump in the stock. Everybody
here lost more or less-some severely.
A Mr.. Coon who came here last fall
with 800 head of sheep, has lost all
but 30. Circle and Galloway, who
brought q band of cattle late in the
fall, have lost q good many. But as
the grass is getting good now I hope
that there will be no more die.
The Changers are going to start u
store here. They have organized a
company with capital of $4,000,
and have bought out both stores at
PrinesYille and are now under way.
The Grange at that place is in n
fourishing condition-there being
several applications for membership
at every meeting. They have a hand
some hall well fitted up, carpets,
curtains, pictures, furniture, in fact
everything prosperity. The farmers
are all busy putting in their crops,
but the ground is very dry, and if we
don't have O freshet we will not raise
very large crops. Rains here never
affect anything; the ground is mois-
tened from the creeks or by an over
flow. There is plenty of snow in the
mountains but it is melting very
slowly and does no good.

A contemporary thinks cruel fatal
ity seems to pursue the Republicans
in all their efforts to regain the
ground lost in the last elections.
Much Of the valuable time which Re-
publican Congressmen proposed to
devote to Legislation for the benefit
of the party's future has been invest
ed in the Civil Rights bill, and the
investment is already proven to be
infinitely worse than useless. 1t al
ready fails of the desired effect, eth.
er upon Southern Democrats or
Southern Republicans. The COM
ments upon it in the Southern papers
show that the exact design Of the
bill is generally understood by
Southern Democrats, and counsel the
practice Of such cool-headed forbear-
ance and patience, under the annoy
ances to be imposed by the bill if it
becomes law as will make the law
utterly useless to Radical party man
ayers. On the other hand, the bill
need go no further than it has al
ready gone in. order to compel the
disintegration Of the Republican
party at the South, where in fact
very little Of it now remains except
what is represented by Grants bay
onets in Louisiana and his threat Of
bayonets in Arkansas. Leading Re-
publicans in the North Carolina Leg
islature the other day openly de-
nounced and renounced their party
for its passage of Buffers Civil Rights
bill in the House Of Representatives.
Their action is sure to be followed by
other Southern Republicans, not o
few Of whom opposed the Radical
majority when the bill was before the
House. By these signs, and others
more ominous than these, Republi-
cans may learn now as well as later
that reckless and revolutionary
policy is about the most disastrous
that could well be devised for bolster
ing up a hopelessly shattered party.

THE perils that attend the publish
ing Of an anti-Grant newspaper in q
locality whose court machinery is
controlled by carpet-bag thieves, are
about to be illustrated by the trial of
the propnetors of The Charleston
Nelcs and Courier on u criminal suit
for ''libeling" tho bigamist Bowen
and his precious gang These in
jurod innooents have procured the
indictment Of tho newspaper men on
eight counts, enough to insure them,
if they are convicted, u residence in
the public works at the expense Of
tho State for the remainder of their
natural lives, What renders the
prospect peculiarly cheerful is the
circumstance that Bowen, as a Sheriff
of the county of Charleston, super
yises the impanneling of juries, and
can easily pack the jury which will
try his case with his own creatures,
The ofIense Of the newspaper was the
calling Of Bowen and the other mem
bers Of the carpet-bag ring by their
right names during the late political
canvass. 1t is expected that all that
is decent and responsible in South
Carolina will stand stoadtastly BY its
newspaper champions in this exi-
goncy, and that if the champions
have to go TO Jail, that ediiice will
not be large enough to hold all who
will go with them. Sheriff Bowen
will have a large job on hand il he
attempts to arrest all who are do
tormined that the press shall be free
to rebuke official corruption.

CIVIL ItIGHTS WITH BAYONETs.

IluB Ol our pOllulcul blrucJur6, tne
Senate was voting on the Civil Rights
Bill. The most notable features Of
the debate were the powerful legal
argument Of Mr.. Carpenter against
the bill, and the first recitation Of
Mr.. Edmunds' stump speech for the
campaign of next year. It is very
good speech of its sort, and practice
may be expected to make Mr. Ed
munds perfect in its delivery. He
has certainly begun in ample season.
The readers of this journal old or
new, do not need to be told that it
believes heartily in the principle Of
equal rights, and welcomes every
honest and hopeful attempt to re-
ducc this principle to practice. II
does this because it believes the prin-
ciple to DO rooted in that justice
which Justinian defines as the con-
slant and perpetual will be to render to
every man his own. The poorer and
more ignorant q man is, the more
abject his condition has been, the
more jealously should society protect
him against any unjust invasion Of
his rights. Had bill been brought
forward in Congress any time these
ten years past, decreeing and secur-
ing absolute equality of rights
throughout the jurisdiction Of the
federal authority, the Republican,
would have been found giving it an
earnest support. So if the present
bill had been brought forward as a
part of peace policy, coupled with
universal amnesty, and a truly ma
tional and healing administrative
policy toward the southern States,
we should have rejoiced at itspassage.
In its avowed objects it is benefcent;
its most unpopular features have been
stricken out; the worst thing about
it, Us bill, is its odor of unconsti-
tutionality, and the decision as to
that belongs to the courts Under
different circumstances it would have
u positive moral value as n declara-
ton Of the mind Of the government,
quite apart from its political value as
q piece of working legislation
But when the olive branch is kin
died at the embers Of civil war, and
then pressed into service as fire
brand, its usefulness, as an olive
branch, is materially impaired
Coupled with force. bills, with incen-
diary reports from committees of
northern Congressman, with ominous
threats from the White House, with
an administrative policy which not
only does not seek the things that
make for peace but seeks the things
that make for war, this bill takes on
new and unnatural character. Pro-
iected into the South under such con-
ditions Of irritation and alarm, its
value to the negro and the country
can be easily computed. The carrier
dove is one Of the most innocent and
useful of birds, Tie u can Of nitro
glycerine to it, and it becomes a
menace and q terror.
1t is almost impossible to exagger-
ate the magnitude of the interests at
stake, at this moment, upon the mod
Grafton and self-control of the best
people of the South, and upon their
SUCCESS in controlling their more
ignorant and excitable neighbors.
Never has q high-spirited people
found itself in case calling more
urgently for tho heroic virtues--jus-
tice, prudence, temperance, forti->
tude.

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

The election which transpires in
Connecticut next Monday, has de-
veloped a most intense and bitter
campaign, and both parties have
made the hardest possible fight
But the Democrats have q decided
advantage in being led by one Of the
ablest and best champions of that
party in the old wooden nutmeg
State. Gov. Ingersolls administra-
ton has been distinguished for abil-
ity, honesty and economy The N,
Y. Neaos says there is no room to
doubt his election, for it is confessed
on all hands that his name at the
head of the ticket makes it far strong
er than it could have been made with
out him, and The Boston Advertiser,
a Republican journal, says the plat
form is, in tho main, n good one.
So, also, the New Haven JounaIand
Courier, tho leading Republican pm
per of Connecticut, frankly confesses
"We find it hard, and expect to find
it harder throughout the campaign,
to oppose the recollection Of Gov. In
gersoll. We do oppose it solely on
political grounds. Personally, we
have the highest regard for Gov. In
gersoll, and consider him one of the
best chief magistrates which the State
Of Connecticut ever had"
We confidently look for a complete
victory in that State next Monday.
