OREGON CONGRESSMAN. - The Albany
Democrat understands the situation and COM
prehends that it viii not do to put upa straw
man Us a candidate TO fill the vacancy crea-
ted by the death Of Col. LaDow In a gen
eral election it is possible to sandwich an in
different candidate in between half-dozen
strong men and in that way pull him through
At the election the coming fall the candidate
will stand solitary and alone, and if a weak
man he will surely go 10 the wall. This Is
the position, and that the Dehn0yat understands
it is evinced by the following paragraph:
1.-The democracy of Oregon have an unexpected
contest preciptled upon them by the death Of Con-
gresham laDow and they should follow the exam
pie OF friends the older States and make an
aggressive platform and nominate honest, trust
worthy and able democrat for Congress who IL

THE LOUISIANA COMPRoMISE-Congre
man Wheeler has at last spoken in the mat
ter of the f0ur members about whom 80 much
has been said. He regards the action Of the
conservatives entirely in accordance with
the terms of the agreement. At the time
four republicans We're declared entitled to
seats by the House, no one pretends that
there was quorum Consequently the Act
had no legal effect. and the four democrats,
never having been legally expelled, were en-
titled to their seats as soon as the show of
force which caused their retirement was re-
moved. Mr.. Wheeler, as author of the COM
promise, is certainly good Judge of its
meaning, and his testimony relieves the
Louisiana conservatives of the charge of act
ing in bad faith which has been brought
against them Mr. Wheeler is hopeful of
the future of Louisiana, under the new order
Of things.

SECRETARY FISH.-The NTsona! RepR&rar
has reviewed Secretary FiSh's services at the
head OF The State Department, ndpronounced
them good. This is assumed on the part of
Washington correspondents to be an intima-
tion that Mr. Fish is about to retire. First
and last there have been many rumors of Mr..
Fish's intention to resign the Office he has
filed so creiitably, but events have shown
them to be unfOunded. Mr.. Fish's presence
in the Cabinet has besn of great service to
the country. If not a really great statesman
or diplomat, he Is An eminently respectable
one, both in ability and character. What
ever other members Of the Cabinet may have
done to the discreiit Of American public life.
Mr.. Fish has had nc share in it. His advice
TO the President and influence with him. 50
far as is known, have been in the best inter-
ests of the country Last winter, when the
President stood on the edge Of the Louisiana
gulf, it was Fish's cool head aud calm tenn
per that saved him.

BRINGING HONE HIS DEAD.-A sad con-
signment of freight passed through our city on
the sourh-bound train last Monday. Mr. Jas.
MeHargue passed mp on the train, taking
with him to his home in Brownsville, in this
conpty, the cofiued remains of his two eld-
est sons. William and John, who had died in
Walla Walla Valley. and were being convey
ed home by their father for burial They
were both young men just YerginS on the
twenties, Just stepping across the threshold
of responsible manhood, when they were
stricken down by death and summoned Il
that bourne from which no traveller ever re-
turns. 1t seems that William. the eldest OF
the boys, while attending 10 his father stock
in the Walla Walla Valley, was two months
ago taken sick and died and John hearln =
of his brothers. death, left the old home at
Brownsville and hasteued to Walla Walla tC
look after the stock which his brothers death
had left uncarsd for and he, too, fell q VIC
tim to some fatal disease and last week died.
The father was mp there assisting John TO
take care of affairs, aud as this double stroke
fell upon him he disinterre3 the remains OF
the elder son and brought the sacred ashes OF
both his loved boys to the old homestead for
burial. 1t was a sad cOrtege and one which
the casualsobserver could scarcely behold
without dropping the sympathetic tear in
pIty.-Albfty Democrat

TwEEDELDUM AND TwEEDLEUEE. -
Truly Loyal is Secretary Delano. He
is loyal to the Government; he regards
not the people. In deciding the lands
claimed by the st. James Mission at
Vancouver to belong to the Military
Department, he served his master. In
deciding the lands at the Dal!es claim
ed by the Methodist Mission to heIonq
thereto, he served his church. In the
first instance he disregarded the rights
of the original pOssessOrs in the last,
be paid no regard to the rights of the
bona .fde settlers; aud in each he
needed neither law, nor equity, nor
justice. Had St. James, been other
than a Catholic Mission, or the Da!les
people Indians, no doubt but that in
each instance their respective claims
would have been allowed by the Sec
retary.-S4nday HeLcome.

J. NJ. SHEPARD, of the Baker City Deno-
6E, is named as a candidate for Congress,
whereat some Of his ootenporaries of the
press turn up their eyes in holy horror. Now,
We can certify from personal observation
that men Of far less ability and in every
way inferior to Mr.. Shepard have been
elected to Congress from Oregon, and
hence We know of no reason why in the gen
eral scramble he should be ruled ont. In
point of education and general ability Mr.
Shepard is far above the average Congress
men, and should the people select him for the
place he Will make g creditable represent

PRosPERIrY.-We are often asked
if Boise City is gaining any in popu-
lation. We answer, Yes; ; there Is
considerable increase in population,
and usbstantial, permanent improve
ments in every direction. n few
houses are being built, and a great
many old ones are being repaired and
enlarged. Robert Louthan's new
brick opposite tie Overland Hotel
will be the largest and best store
building in town. The work is con-
tracted low, and aill it will cost be-
tween FIVE and six thousand dollars,
exclusive of the ground, which cost
$4,000. New fences are being built
and new grounds are being cultivated
IN every direction. Mr.. Walling
says there is mOn than twice the de-
mand for irrigatDg water this year
than last year, aud last year it was
twice as great IS the year before.
There Is lot a vacant house Saltabie
for family to li7e IN in town. This
is an uncommon circumstance at this
time Of the year. Many families come
here TO winter, ard generally leave by
this time, SO that we usually have the
largest number Of vacant houses this
season Of the year, but such is not
the case this yeas; every house Is oc-
cupied, and there is very little lumber
to build with. We have three lumber
yards in town, but only very limited
assortment of lumber can be had
This shows that building in some shape
is going on, and that our town has a
healthy growth.-Boise Statesman.

The SEA SERPENT has again made
his appearance and this time measures
one hundred and twenty feet. Evi-
dence of his existence is found on the
bloodstained pike with which he was
stabbed bya sailor. There IS certainly
no reason known 10 the naturalist why
the immense snakes that exist on land
should not have their duplicates in
the water but the testimony on rec
ord does not Justify firm belief in
such oceanic monsters. No one has
ever killed a sea serpent, the body
of one has never been washed ashore,
and all we know. Of them rests upon
the untrustworthy word of startled
sailors. II is no wonder that scientists
classify them with the sirens Ulysses
heard, and the mermaid which Mr..
Barnum made out OF goldfish and an
African monkey.

4 New JERSEY law makes it 4 mis-
demeanOr, with 81 900 fine, or three
years imprisonment, or both, for any
public officer to be interested in any
contract for work or supplies. New
Jersey will not be progressive and is
determined that her officials shall not
become rich. But this law will prove
a dead letter since it is always difficult
to catch an officer of the period. If
it was possible to effect what the law
coEemplates there might have been
several convictions made of certain
parties IN this State and county. 1t is
not necessary to particularize, for the
instances are well-known and the
only remedy possible is to be found in

At the Nerrick camp meeting, Q"
Sunday, the Rev S. II. Plat said
that twenty-five years ago lie was
kicked by horse on the left knee,
and he leg was practically disabled,
50 :ha. for years he was forced to use
a cruch, and he could not bend the
knee. Subsequently the right knee
was also disabled by an accident
He sought the best surgical aid, but
was only partially relieved, and the
best he could do was to hobble short
distance with the aid Of two canes,
and with much effort and pain. For
twenty five years he did not stand up
to preach but delivered all his sermons
while seated. Sciatica supervcneG,
and he was thus further made wretch
ed. Three weeks ago, while at Ocean
Grove, he was visited by Miss Nose
man, a spinster somewhat advanced
in years, who announced that she had
come to pray for him--that she had
been sent by the Lord to do SO for the
purpose Of healing him. He consent
ed to the trial. She knelt before him
and placing her hands upon his knees,
began to pray. Her prayer was cr'
binary in language and terms, but the,
result Mr.. Plat described as wonder
full indeed. lie soon began to feel a
sensation, from the feet upward, as Of
coming strength, and gradually the
entire use Of his limbs returned to
him, so that he was enabled to dis
pense with the use Of first one cane
and then the other, and the knee that
had not bent for twenty FIVE years be-
came supple. Sunday before last he.
stood up for the first time to preach,
without support, ana last Huhuay lie
stood before the spell bound audience
at Morrick strong on his feet, and
with the perfect use Of all his limbs,
. we'll man.
There can be no question about the
truth Of Mr.. Platts story, for it isl
otherwise sufficiently vouched for,
Miss Moseman is described as ofslight
physique, Of rather inferior vitality,
and a posscssor Of little magnetic
force; and the reverend gentleman
consequently scouts the notion that
the cure was effected by the ordinary
laying on Of hands" or manipula-
ton.
