An OREGON SHIP.-In a late San
Francisco paper we observe the follow.
ing complimentary paragraph concern
ing vessel which was built in this
State: "The Western Shore is a Pa.
cific coast ship, having been built at
Coos bay, little over q year ago, since
which time she has made a round yov-
age to Liverpool and back, with a full
cargo Of 1900 tons, making the Quick
est passage each way of any vessel in
the fleet sailing between the two ports
during the season of 1s74-5. Last eve
ming the Master Mariners of San Fran
cisco held meeting, at which a series
OF resolutions, complimeuting Captain
McAllep, the master Of the Westey7e
Shore, on his successful and expeditions
voyage, were adopted. The TVeste17a
Shore is built of Oregon pine, except
ing her upper works which are construct
ed OF cedar, the latter being the most
durable wood, growing on the Pacific
coast and the best adapted for the pur-
pose to which it was devoted by the
builders of the vcssel.' The above
vessel Is now on the way to Portland.

The Olympia Courier says: ga
farmer, whose name we could not asccr-

started through the Natchez Pass short
" after the fall rains began with 200
mutton sheep. After getting this side
Of the summit with them, he met man
who informed him that all the little
streams were full TO the brim, and that
it was impossible for him to get through.
The farmer knew be could not drive
them back the way he came on account
Of the high waters, SO he abandoned
them to the storms, wild beasts or star
walton, and rode toward home as last as
he could. We imagine the wolves and
cougars have provided material for a
woolen factory long ere this.''

The question OF licensing the whisky
traffic has long existed and worried the
sage and subtle intellect of our wisest
solons. Il isnow suggested that instead
OF requiring liquor vendors to take out
license, it would meet the case exactly
to compel consumers to procure license
TO drink. The revenue thus derived
would be a princely ono indeed, far ex-
OeediDg that now derived from whisky
license, aGcrdipg ample means for the
support Of the General and State gov
ernments, and running our common
schools right up to The handle. It's o
good idea.

white men were lifting heavy log in

ing one esd of the log, casting his eyes
toward the little fellows, one of whom
had an Ak raised to sever the neck of
his brother, let go of the log to save
the boy, and it fell, killing six men. two
instantly, the others living only a few
hours. The AK fell before the father
could reach the scene, severing the neck
of the son. Thus were seven persons
hurled into eternity in twinkling.

There is trouble in the anti-Repub-
lican Iowa newspaper family. The
young converts, such ag the Ottum-
wa Spirit and Newton independent,
are not satisfied to go over all at
once to the full endorsement of all
the old fire-eating dogmas Of the un-
regenerated Democracy, but want to
" have word or two to say" occas-
ionally about the line of policy to be
adopted by the party. They manag-
ed to live in forced peace and harmo-
ny during the Anti-Monopoly hon
ey-moon, but since that is passed
they are tormented with unrest
under the dictatorial lectures of
the papers which have never known
ar"thin" but Democracy. Sam.
Evans. of the Ottumwa Der.ctrat,
one of the veteran ~ ;, -. .... -
is determined not to be drilled in
squad under command of these new
recruits, and every week asserts his
better right to command. He thus
takes the chevrons from the sleeves
of one of the usurping Anti-Monopo-
ly sergeants:
"The Jasper County Independent, a
slab-mouthed half-and- half Repubii-
can paper, with an instinct to be
Democratic if the thing turns out all
right, rises up and reads the Demo
crdt a lecture on Democracy. Ii has
not been long since the editor of the
Jasper County Indepenaert was de-
nouncing US rs a copperhead because
we advocated the election of Demo
cratic candidates, while this brisk
young chap was putting in his best
howls for loyalty and Radacalisn.
And now he wants to teach US De.

In the next congress there will be
eighty-six senators aud representa-
tives who were active rebels during
the war. When these men were
elected last autumn the Democratic
press Of the country shouted joyfulIy
under great display headlines, roos-
ters and artillery cuts; and the paper
OF that persuasion in this town cried
out in its ecstasy: Light in the
East and South!" And it then
claimed all these rebels as Democrats.
and still rejoices that they and their
allies are to have control Of the house
for the next two sessions. 1t hopes
to make one of the number or one
like them President in 1876. There
is terrible meaning in all this
which the people of the United
States are slow to perceive. The
course of the Democracy in uphold
ing the White League rebels in all
their systems of murder and intimi-
dation in the south to-day--in their
opposition to the civil rights bill in
congress-in their vindictive and
cowardly hatred of the negro race
in their opposition to the bureau of
education and the free school system
in their disposition to retard the
work of congress upon all important
measures-ail points Enthusiastically
to the same end, ard proves the ex-
istence in that party of the rebel
spirit Of l86l-5 And that is the rul-
ing spirit in the party.
