to give them honest peaceful, constitu-

THE GOVERNOR OF OREGON.

WHO MIR. LAFAYETTE GROVER Is AND
HIS RECORD AS A PUBLIC MAN.
The attention which the action of La
fayette Grcver, the Governorof Oregon, in
refusing to give the certificate to an incl
igible elector, is attracting, renders
sketch of his career of interest at the pres
ent time. His official action has enraged
the Republican politicians and made the
men who have been unfolding all of in
famies by the returning boards perfectly
furious. Governor Grover is probably
one of the worst abused men of the pres
ent day. That he is man of purerchar-
acter and superior in honesty to many of
his traducers, is shown by his past record.
Lafayette Grover is a native of Bethel,
Oxford County, Me-, and a graduate of
Bowdoin College. Immediately upon
leaving college, he removed to Philadel-
phia. there studied law, and was admitted
to the bar in that city in 1850. Near the
close of that year he took up his residence
in Oregon. then Territory, and at its
capital, Salem. In 1851 he was elected
Prosecuting Attorney for the Territory,
and in 1852 Auditor of Public Accounts
He served three years in the Territorial
Legislature. He took a leading part in
the service of the Government in the In
dian wars of Oregon; was appointed a
Commissioner, in 1854, to adjust the
claims Of the citizents Of Oregon against
the United States; and in 1856 was ap-
pointed one Of the Commissioners to in
vestigate the Indian war claims against
the General Government; was one of the
leading members of the convention to
form Constitution for the State on its
admission to the Union, and was subse-
quently elected the first Representative
from the new State to congress, taking
his seat in February, 1859. At the eX-
piration of his term he resumed the prac-
tice of his profession, and from 1867 to
1870 was engaged in the business ofmill-
ing. He was two or three years Chair
man Of the Democratic State Committee
in 1870 was elected Governor of the state
and reelected in 1874, his present term eN
pring in lSIS. At the last session of the
Legislature he was elected to the United
States Senate for the term commencing
on the 4th of March next and will there
fore resign the GovernorshIp early in the
coming year. Ii will thus be seen that
Governor Grover is one of the pioneers of
that State, has been one of the NEST prom
inent citizens Of the State, identified with
its growth and progress, one of the franz
ers of its organic law, a lawyer of note,
and knowing the law, has the courage to
administer and maintain it. In this in
stance he has giventhe Radical politicians
a file to gnaw which has made them turi-

1HE QUESTION OF GAME

Wyoming Correspondence.
NAlong the main thoroughfareS across
the continent game is every year becom-
ing more scarce, and is seeking new
grounds, being scared away by the adj.
vancing settlers, They seek new places in
which to hide themselves where thre are
no white men and but few Indians. In
our board land there are us yet many
such places, though every year they are
becoming more scarce. Here the larger
kinds of game most do congregate, and
here, also, we may find several varieties
OF grouse and other game birds. | be-
lleVe there has been slander going the
rounds of the press lately, TO the effect
that several hunters have been engaged
in the latter part of the summer and this
autumnin slaughtering antelopes fortheir
skins alone.
do not credit this, as no mountain eel
! OF my acquaintance would be guilty of
such thing. Still, some men may have
been out who have slaughtered more
antelopes than they ought 10, and more
than their fair proportion, hope public
opinion will soon put these men down
and keep them down. We do not want
TO have the deer parks completely clean
ed ont, nor do we want the lively and
graceful antelopcs completely swept of
the face OF the earth, they being in fact
among the most graceful animals in eX
lStence. ON the plains they become very
tame, and so accustomed TO the sight of
the railroad trains that they only move
OFF very short distance when locomo-
tive approaches

Thomas II. Bransiord, Esq, general
freight agent of the Richmond, Fredericks-

returned from visit to his friends in Gooch-

abundant regularity that his friends are
forced to the conclusion that his trip has
done him good.
Rev. DIR. Edwards left the city yesterday
to attend the Richmond District Confer

Doctor has been busily engaged for several
days past as q member of the Board Of

in the right places he departs joyfully to q
new field of usefulness. In his absence
Bishop Doggett will fill his pulpit, at the
Centenary church.
Major Poe, Chief OF Police, returned to
the city Yesterday from the Centennial. He
describes his trip as delightful, but leaves it

crazy in five minutes by attempting to tell
him all that he saw. His companion, DR..

BELLIGERENT CARD FROM Mr.. DAWSON
Charleston, S. c., July %, 1S76.-In the
Journal of Commerce Of this day is card
from Mr.. M. W. Gary, in which he repeats
his misstatements in regard to the NeacS and
Courier, adding some insolent illusions to
me personally.
There are public reasons, understood in
Charleston and elsewhere, which lead me to
postpone for the present my rejoinder to his
charges.
Meantime, if Dir. Gary, who sets himself
up as a champion Of the shotgun policy,
feels any solicitude as to the likelihood OF
nv raising the "white flag" at his coming,
he should lose no time in resolving the
doubt, unless he is content to be known
throughout the State in the double char
acter OF slanderer and braggart.

That Murderer. Petersburg Post
of Monday last mentions that negro man
who murdered his wife in this county Last
spring, and for whose arrest the Governor
had offered a reward Of 800, was
seen in the upper part Of Ches-
terfeld on that day. Upon diligent in
quiry of the various officials OF the coun-
ty, your reporter is unable to learn OF any
such murder ever having been perpetrated
in this county. The paper from which thus
article is quoted has probably confounded
this with the Amelia case.

YOUNG MAN, "GET MARRIED. DIR. Dio
Lewis having learned the minimum guam
titv of food on which life can be sustained,
advises all young men to marry and settle
down in life. His idea is that "until man
is married his life is lacking in that which
best develops his manhood" He gives cold
bachelors some hard raps in letter pub
lished in the Green Bay (Wis.) Aduocate,
and then administers this rebuke to that
class who are anxious to see the world be-
fore marrying: "Seeing the world as the
young man does who has to earn his living
as he goes along amounts to very little. What
he does see is nothing that helps him fight
the battle Of life more successfully. 1t only
keeps him from habits which are in direct
antagonism to correct and happy and sue
cessful life, and when he gets through
knocking about he has nothing to show
for the misspent years save the habits which
he must overcome il he would make any
thing OF himself. Do you call that gain or
loss !? So, young man, take the advice OF
man who has kept his eyes open for more
years than you have lived, probably, and
don't tknock around II you think have
overdrawn the picture, look around you,
and out Of the men you know select those
who have knocked around and see If they
do not bear witness to the truth OF every
assertion have made concerning the class
they represent. Are they men you envy?
/ tell you, boys, knocking around makes
man good for nothing else, and take it you
have desire to be good for something
higher In hfe."

portion of Seabrook's warehouse that was
demolished during the late storm, will the
city fathers practice what they preach in
requiring citizens to conform TO the recently
established lines ?? II so, they must draw in
their limit some six or eight feet, because
you know it is bad rule that don't work
both ways. Mr.. Editors, can't you make
them "toe the mark?" Please do SO, and

REMOVAL OF TIE HOSTILE INDIANS TO THE
BIG Horn MOUNTAINS. AdyiceS from Gen
eral Crooks command, in camp on the
south fork OF the Tongue river, July
23, ria Fort Fetterman 2G, are OF am-
portance. The main body OF the Sioux
are believed to have taken to the Big Horn
Mountains, where game is more abundant
and the grass fresher. The Indians efforts
to burn the grass of the valleys makes it al
most imperative on Crook to follow them
up at once. His force musters about twelve
hundred regular soldiers and citizen volun-
teerS.
1t is expected that the wagons will be
packed on the Main Tongue river, near the
mountains, and with Il pack train loaded
with from fifteen to twenty days rations, a
vigorous but careful advance will immedi-
atcly follow. 1t is not deemed advisable for
Crooks and Terry's forces to join previous
to move by one or other of the commands.
The enemy is believed to be on the headwa-
ters of Ash Creek and Little Big Horn, not
far from the Montana and Wyoming line,
thirty to forty miles from Crooks present
camp.
