Norton Disappoi,.ted.

Mr.. Morton was very much pleased at
the hope of finding some "iiregularity"
n the Oregon investigation. When the
$4,000 dispatch was raked up he thought
he had it sure. But he was disappointed.
1t appears that a mandamus on Governor
Grover was expected to be required, and
to pay the fees of four lawyers $4,000
was raised in New York city. Instead
of that being necessary Gov. Grover did
his duty under the constitution, and the
money was remitted on telegraphed
order from the Oregon Democratic State
Committee, to the bankers with whom it
had been deposited in New York. That
is the whole case. 1t has suitably shocked
the New York Times; but as is nerves

cepting of challenge to fight. 1t began
with the brutal assault which led to the
sending and enforced the acceptance of
that challenge. 1t is necessary to civili-

A POLITICAL SENSATION.

The Washington correspondence of the
New York .Sltn contains the announce
ment that the next great political sensa-
ton will be a rousing speech from Mr..
Blaine denouncing the revolutionary pro-
gramme of Zach Chambers creed, and
holding up high standard of party in
tegrity in regard to the presidential cleo
ton. We do not know what grounds
there are for such an announcement, but
Mr.. Blaine's character, position and pro-
spects make such Independent action on
his part seem very probable. Mr.. Blaine
is a man OF splendid ability and great
force of character, and is very popular
among the masses of the Republican par
ty. He has never identified himself with
Grantism, and has been sufficiently un-
compromising in his attitude to incur the
resentment and displeasure of the boss of
that system. Mr.. Blame is well known
TO have been strongly opposed to the
southern policy of the administration, and
the carpet-bag wing of the party during
the Forty-third Congress denounced him
because he would not fall in with their
schemes for renewing their hold upon
the South through fresh interference of
the federal power. During the canvass
preceding the Cincinnati convention, it
was well understood that Blaine was not

We were glad yesterday to be
able to take by the hand that emf.
nent soldier and genial gentlemen,
General Joseph e. Johnston, who
is now paying brief visit to our
state. To one who has seen General
Johnston at the head of brave
army, handling it with consummate
skill and Judgment; to one who hears
his praise from the ablest and best of
his professional brethren of the age.
1t seems passing strange that our
own government can consent to dis.
pense with his professional services
even for day. Yet so it is; and
General j. but honors the soldierly
instincts of the nation, when he
quietly and unostentatiously passes
from scenes of the proudest military
trlumphs into the ordinary walks of
business life. There is no true sol.
der, either north or south, to whom
the fame of this illustrious gentle
man is not a priceless treasure

Gunpowder is an intimate mix
tnre of inter, charcoal, and sulphur.
which vary slightly in different
countries and according to the uses
to which it is applied. The Ameri-
can and French Governments use
% parts of saltpeter, 125 each of
sulphur and charcoal, while in Eng
land ten parts OF sulphur and fifteen
of charcoal are used. The charcoal
is made by d;stilling poplar or will
low wood in iron retorts. The sui
phur comes from the volcanic pro
duets of Sicily, and the satpeter is
made from nitric acid and potassa.
The charcoal and sulphur are reiin-
ed and pulverized by rolling IN iron
barrels with zine balls. The ingre-
dents are then mixed and thorough
~ incorporated, then compressed
into fragments of cake, which are
then passed between rollers and sep
arated by sleeves. 1t is then glazed
by rolling in barrels, which makes
the grains smooth, after which it is
dried by being spread upon shelves
IN a room heated by steam to about
65 degrees.
