PASSED AWAY.

Capt. E. S. Fowler. one of the foun-
ders of Port Townsend, who has lived
there for more than quarter of cen
tury, died a. that place last Monday
He had been ailing from a cancer for a
number of years, and death came to
him like a welcome guest. He was a
man of limited early education, but pos
sessed of good native judgment. He
came there to find it wilderness, and
left it garden of roses. bequeathing to
his children a fair worldly competency,
and the priceless legacy of an unsullied
name.
So they pass away, the bold and
energetic spirits who laid the corner
stone of new empire on the SHORES of
the sunset sea. The pioneers of the
Pacific were a peculiar people, possessed
of all the Puritan fortitude IN danger,
and more than Puritan federation
Courage, simplicity and honor, were
the distinguishing traits of their char
acter. If they lacked the polish ohar-
acteristic of an older and better per
fected state of society. they lacked its
vices also. They stand out in bold
relief before the future historian, grand
in their rugged honesty and homely
heroism. They toiled and endured
many privasions to bring about the
blessings We now enjoy. Let us cherish
the remnants of the "Old Guard" and
make the autumn days of their lives full
Of the peace which blesses only the
brave and the true.

THANKSGIVING.

Following the laws of custom, the
President of the United States and the
Governors of the various States and
Territories, have set apart this day fol
the purpose of Thanksgiving and
prayer. This custom originated shortly
after the landing of our Pilgrim Faith
ers. From the New England states the
custom has spread. until now, it is rec
ognized as a National day of prayer and
festival. For many reasons have we,
as people, cause to thank our God for
the blessings he has vouchsafed US.
We have had abundant harvest, no
wars either foreign, civil or lnternecine.
The business prospects of the country
look more brightly than ever, end " III
once more be on sound and healthy
basis. We have just peacefully passed
through one OF the most exciting and
momentous Presidential campaigns the
country has ever witnessed, and more
than all-our country has taken, by the
direction of an All wise Providence, the
step that will fade into oblivion. the
times when brothers hands in deadly
warfare smote each other.
For these many blessings, and sure
ly gratitude is component part of the
soul of man-we have cause to be truly
thankful. Whether Christian, Israelite,
Mohammedan, or Infidel. whether We
render thanks in one form or another,
it is but tribute to the aching Of the
spirit that dwells in the heart of man,
to pour forth his gratitude in praise, on
day commemorated by the people Of
his country, for the purpose of thanks
giving and prayer to the "All-wise Pro-
whence that shapes our ends. +" But
amid the prayers that will arise from
the devout, from one end of the land to
to the other-the most powerful appeal
will be heard in the petition that in the
present crisis of the country, no resort
to arms will be made, and that Justice
alone will determine who shall preside
over our destinies for the next four
Years.
To many this day will bring reminis-
ences of days gone by, when the family
reunited, encircled the homestead table,
and wonderment if they, so far away,
have forgotten him who once occupied
the now vacant chair.

DECLINE OF THE REPUBLIC.

DECLINE OF THE REPUBLIC.
The debauched state of public senti
ment engende1ed by the manner il
which President Grant uses the military
arm of the Government, on all occa-
sions where the success Of the Repub.
ican party is in jeopardy, is well sci
orth BY leader in the Oregonidn OF
Monday. That paper is the least hide
bound of any radical journal on the
coast and is reported to have sunk be-
tween 1872 and 1875 some thirty thous-
and dollars in fighting the self-consti-
tuted leader of the Republican party in
Oregon. We allude to the chronic bride
groom or Webfoot MormOn-as you
lke.best-who represents that State in
the United States Senate. Moreover,
the Oregonian is edited by legal prac-
titioner, who should be good judge of
constitutional law, hence we are fully
justified In saying it represents more
than the average of its party's lntelli-
gence.
Yet the Oregonian calls the South
Carolina election a fai- one and says
that Hampton ran well on account of
his high personal character; as if Til
den, who ran 5000 votes ahead of Rob
inson in New York. was a man of no
character. If Hampton was a stronger
man than Tilden. it was pity he did
not get the nomination for the Presi-
dency.
But the sentence to which we wish to
cali attention, is the Oreg0niaR'S state
ment that "while Hayes carried the
State, Chamberlain the Republican can
didate for Governor was beaten, and
g5ts in, If at ALL only through the &C.
ton of the returning board" And this
it calls "a healthy sentiment" This
declaration that the returning board, -
a military political weapon of Grants
administration, can count III whom they
please, is just what we have always con-
tended-that republican government in
America exists only in name. Grant is
q monarchist and despot; and if his
gang of hirelings can bring about state
affairs that will keep out both Hayes OF
and Tilden, it will be done. With 6
military man in the White House like
Grant-o or Hayes, who endorses all
Grants acts-the American republic is
despotism compared to which a limit
ed monarchy, like that Of England
would be Divine blessing. The enc
is not yet.

IS THE REPUBLIC A FAILURE?

The news that comes TO W this morn
ing is rife with disgraceful reports. At
midnight on Nov. 2Sth the STATE House
of South Carolina was occupied by Uni
ted States troops, who refused admit
tance to members of the Le- stature un-
less they possessed passes from usurper
Chamberlain. Thus reenacting the
usurpation of 1874 in the Louisiana
Legislature. which the country so en-
phatically denounced in the election of
the following November. By this move
the Republican portion of the House,
formed. without quorum, a partial
organization. However, two honest
Republicans disgusted with the pro-
ceedings, have gone over to the Demo-
Gratis of that State, and now. let fraud
continue rampant, those that bear the
name. but not the principles of Repub-
licanism cannot cheat justice of its due.
Florida and Louisiana by the greatest
political chicanery that nerican
politics ever knew, will probably be
counted in for Hayes, d Hayes COM
placently states that if he be counted
in, the American people shall not be
cheated out of Republican admins
tration." Could the veriest partisan,
with but an ounce Of love of country in
his veins, but study for moment, un-
t:ammelled by party spirit, the villian-
GUS character of the personel of these
Southern Returning Boards. he, with
many others, would have to stiff1e the
enqriry.-'Is the dagger of Brutus

We have hitherto omitted to mention
the death of the wife of Donald Mac
leay, Esq, of Portland, a lady whose
presence was dream of perennial sun
shine. Bred to life Of ease and lux
ury, she bore no part in the many fri
volities of fashion, but rather regarded
wealth as d Heaven-born gift to the
rich, to enable them to alleviate the
sorrow of the hard -faring poor. She will
be better known. by the void her death
has left, than to the place she filled in
life. A vessel bears her name. and will
float her flag in many port beside our
sunset seas; hut the most enduring
monument to the departed lady is erect

dens she lightened with her welcome
presence. She was true woman-God

THE r 1ASON WHY.

Many of the leaders of the Demo
cratic party in the East have expressed
astonishment that the three Pacific
States went solidly for Hayes and
Wheeler, and are unable to account for
it. The solution is easily seen when
the facts Of the case are known, as any
body can see. The Republican press
of the Pacific Coast have an almost alb
solute monopoly of the Associated Press
dispatches, and consequently we, of this
Coast, hear of nothing but Southern
outrages, and the State of public affairs
except through Republican versions.
Only when our Eastern exchanges come
to us, can we get anything but an ec-
Darte statement of how things exist in
the East.
Especially is this true in Oregon. In
that State, the Oreqonian, under the pat
ronage of senator Hipple- Mitchell. or
Mitchell Nipple, is the only paper that
f6CelNcS luG ttSSOCldttu 1883 tli0 pdtCuOo,
and this because the Repub lean party
are rich and diplomatic enough to con-
troll the balance of power in that State,
by thus giving the people nothing but
Republican dispatches to read. 1t is
even admitted by Republicans that with
any sort of attention on the part of the
Democracy to Oregon, that that State
would have Cast its vote for Iilden and
Hendricks. We call attention to this
state Of affairs, that our Democratic con-
temporaries of the East. belonging to the
Associated Press, may insist that here
after their -partisans of this Coast
shall have at least fair show in the
matter of telegraphic dispatches.
