on exhibit that could compare with it.

duction at the Centennial has done
more towards advertising Oregon IN

the Atlantic Statesi it would be difficult

would flock to our State" The same
is equally true of our Territory: In
fact the exhibit of fruits at several
of our Territorial Fairs has been pro-
nounced superior to that of Oregon,
by those who have been enabled to
institute o comparison.

Disturbing Questions in Oranges.

An eminent member of the Grange
gives this advice with reference to
the admission of questions tending to
distract the object of the organization,
which we especially commend to the
Patrons of this Territory, where the
Order is comparatively weak and in
need of the exercise of those fraternal
principles which strengthen the bond
of union. He affirms that it is wise
regulation to exclude from the Grange
all bitter and exciting disputes and
discussions of old partisan 'politics
and sectarian religion, which tend to
distrust and divide the Order; since
the success of any people or cause al
ways requires a spirit of unbroken
unity and harmony. But the princi-
Piles of true politics and true religion
are very difent things. We need a
new political and moral dictionary
for the working class, not found in
any partisan or sectarian library.
When politics means home interests
and everyday duties of labor, pro-
duction, wealth, and comfort, then it
properly belongs to the Grange.
And when religion is made to consist
of the principles of love, affection,
brotherhood, and sisterhood, it at
once becomes most heavenly in char
acter, and fit for the patrons and the
family.
The politics of the party, as under
stood by dominant politicians, is,
of course, wholly unsuited to Grange
exercises, because the principle of
equity and brotherhood is not its ba-
sis. Its motive is selfish, and it's
methods continual strife and con-
fict for personal station and the spoils
of office.

WINE IN CAL1FoRN1A.-However fair
and large the fruits of California, it
is well known that they lack flavor.
This knowledge is gaining from year
to year, and buyers in Eastern mar
kets largely take Michigan fruit in
preference when they can get it. In
addition to California wines the Sac
ramento Record says: Whatever the
cause, it is certain that our grapes
produce very crude and heavy and
earthly favors, as unlike the light
wines of Southern France as shark
meat is unlike halibut." This is put
ting it pretty strong; nevertheless
it is the fact that California wines
will not bear to test with the better
class Of vintages of Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana, and Ohio.

OLYMPIA. SATURDAY IoRNIyG, H. q, 1876,
The Impending Crisis.

The situation in the South remains
unchanged, except that the returning
board has counted in South Carolina
for Hayes. This was done in plain
violation of the law and the evidence,
of which it assumed to be the sole
Judge. This course, if reports are
true, was about as infamous as that of
the Louisiana board in 1874, under
the Kellogg administration, which
action was so fragrant that it elected
the condemnation of even a Repub-
lican Congress.
We await with impotence the con-
GLIDING acts of this absorbing drama.
II is useless to attempt to prove that
they are not fraught with the most
serious results. The popular feeling
is held in restraint. It awaits but an
indication of purpose to subvert the
will of the people to turn the farce
into tragedy.
While we cordially endorse the
resolutions of the Ohio Democracy,
declaring that patriotism demands
q ready acquiescence in the results. of
the Presidential election fairly as
certained, no less imperative duty
is involved in any action which may
defeat the will of the people, con-
stitutionally expressed. The candi-
date who is legally elected must be
inaugurated on the 4th of March, or
free government exists only in name,
and the centennial year will have
witnessed the beginning of the end.

SUMMARY REMOvAL.-The Seattle
papers announce the dismissal of
Mr.. r. B. Curry from the agency of
Wells, Fargo & Co., few days ago,
and the substitution of Mr.. Bryant,
of Walla Walla, in his stead. It
was done quite as summarily as was
that of Messrs. Crosby & Lowe, in
this place some time ago, without
any apparent shadow of a cause.
While we do not assume in the least
to dictate to that company their
course, we do affirm that, they have
in many instancesignored the will of
the community their customers in
displacing and appointing their
agents, and it has in no small degree
lessened their business and decreas-
ed the profits they would have
otherwise made. Packages come
every steamer as freight which
would have been intrusted to the
express if tariff rates and other con-
ditions were satisfactory. A petition
is in circulation at Seattle for the re-
instatement of Mr.. Curry, but it will
doubtless prove about as effective as
the almost unanimous request OF the
people of Olympia for the reinstate-
ment of Messrs. Crosby & Lowe.

ALEXANDER CorNTr CoNvEN-

Let all true Democrats who desire har-
mony and perfect organization in the
party attend the county convention this
afternoon, at the court house. Delegates
are to be selected to represent this
county aud its interests in the Jonesboro
senatorial convention, to convene on
Monday next.
1t should be the policy of the party to
send to that important convention men
of known Democratic faith and political
ability, tor upon the results of that con-
vention hinges. perhaps, the success of
our congressional candidate, Mr.. William
Hartzell.
The existing breach in the party ranks
in this senatorial district must be
mended. and peace must prevail. TO in
sure this, all Democrats Of influence in
the county should come forward and as.
sist in the selection of discreet and
non-partisan men to go to Jonesboro on
Monday next, where the vacancy occa-
stoned by John II. Oberly's withdrawal
from the ticket will be filled, and means
taken to harmonic the discordant ele-
ments in the district.
Democratic success in the district can
only be insured by settlement of exist
ing troubles. and those in this county in
terested will now have an opportunity to
take part in that which is preliminary
step towards the contamination ola much
desired result, by attending the conven-
ton at the court house this afternoon.

be Democrats enough present without

is folly to suppose that barrel of dollars
could escape Radical politicians hands

quently refers to his affable business
manager for information on the subject.
He is working for glory-for the
good Of the party-and when

derers turned from Office, he will wrap
himself up in the flag OF the United

meeting with success We extract the fol-
lowing from letter written to him from
Vienna by prominent citizen of that
place
"1 our speech here has done more good
than all other speeches or documents that
have been distributed or made in this sec
ton OF our country. Some Of the most
radical Republicans say that if your
