The crack Of the bulldozer's whip re,
sounds louder and. iercer than ever since
Chamberlain yielded. Every step gained
by his opponents has served to increase
the arrogance of the Southern Democ-
racy. Notwithstanding his pledges to
await the decisions of the courts in re-
gard to the State officers holding their
positions under Chamberlain, the usurp.
er Hampton has turned them out and
sealed the doors of their offices against
them. Little cares he or his fellow-bull-
dozers for his promises to President
Hayes, whose confidence they SO outia
geously abuse. Hampton never intend,
ed to keep his pledges. Bound to the
purpose, of extinguishing republicanism
in the State through the power attained
by control of the State Government, ht
will go on step by step for the consum
nation Of the plans necessary to accom-
plish his object. paying no regard what

School Year Ended.

Last Friday was the last day of the
school year. We regret that our alb
sence from town prevented our visit
ing the schools on that day. At Miss
LOOMS Select School the closing ex-
animation was highly interesting to
the visitors and evidenced degree of
substantial progress very gratifying
to parents.
The public school, under the man
agement of Mr.. II. &. Lesser, closed
with the usual exercises. The music
al entertainment, given by Mrs. Mich
olson's music class at the Rcctory on
Thursday evening, was numerously
attended by the parents and friends
of the scholars.
The public exhibition at Holy An.
gels College, on Friday evening, was
= credit to the young men who got il
up. The welcome song was well rem.
dered. The comedy, entitled 1.-THE
Return from the Colonies" elected
the loudest applause. The drama in
three acts, entitled 1.-THE Expiration,
with Charles Troup as Count Flavy
was fine piece of amateur acting
After the valcdictory by Edward
Hughes, the exercises were concluded
with song, "The Flag of the Free.

The DalleS.

While at the Dalles the other dav,
we called on Capt. Hand, of the
M0untalneer, and found him working
patiently away as of old. He is a
perfect specimen of an editor and
printer, works constantly and at
the same time takes the world easily.
Says he will not allow anything to
disturb his equanimity. With him,
to use an expression of the camp,
''every thing goes" The Maintain
eer is the best paper published in
Eastern Oregon, and Captain Hand is
a worthy prophet.
The Tribune, with M. II. Abbott
as the knight of the quill, is doing
well, considering that it is COMPARE
lively a young institution in The
Dalles. Mr.. Abbott's job office is
fine one. He has the material for
doing the best of work. The high
water of last year invaded his prcmi-
SEES, and he thought at that time he
should be ruined; but now he says it
did him but little damage. The hand
press and type used in the publca-
ton of the Tribune is the same for
merly used in the Office of the Van
couver Register.
The Dales is lively town. Here
are few lively business men. This
is the supplying point of a large ex
tent Of country. Coming in over the
road from Yakima we met n large
number of transfers, their wagons
loaded with g oods purchased at The
Dalles, and bound for all parts of va
kima and Klicllitat counties. The
city has Il fine public school house
aud other public buildings. Several
new ediices, designed for dwellings
and business houses, are in process of
construction. Front street shows
signs of the high water ravager Of last
year. in the Umatilla House the
high water mark is still to be seen ON
the wall paper up whore the pictures
hang, and Judging from the way
things come on the dining table, we
should say the high water, or some
thing else, is still ravaging in the
kitchen. There are no high 'cdtcr
rava@crs up stairs. This is very

This city is SO situated behind the !
hills, that the winds, common IN this
upper country, are to great extent
broken off; per consequence there Is
some warm weather here in the sum

the location on the whole a pleasant

cat eleven o'clock Sunday forenoon
the citizens Of Pittsburg. beginning to
| fear q general baptism Of fire, for the
first time undertook to do something
to uphold the arm Ut law aud order.
1t Is difficult to excuse their supine-
ness. The situation on Friday should
have dictated to them an effort To stay
the sentiment In favor of violence
which-the city being one vast work
shop-was fast permeating all classes
of laborers. And one would think
that they could not have done less on
Saturday than to have organized and
guarded arsenals and other places
where arms were stored. But they
did absolutely nothing but look on
until this moment, when In the fear
of fire-and it Is a that great pity
that the same terrible fire did not
reach some OF the rich and influential
instead of burning the houses Of the
poor along the Railroad-they met
and appointed two Committees of
preachers to go out and talk compro-
mise.
Ofcourse this awaited nothing. All
day Sunday the demon of destruction
had full sway. The magnificent I'm
ion depot, 75xooo feet, offices and
waiting rooms below aud the Key
stone hotel, the finest i'm the city,
above, was fianked by long lines Of
pine sheds to protect passengers. At
8 80 burning ears were run under
these, and in a short time the depot
was in flames. Then the huge freight
depot of the p. c. l. st. l.. was pill
LACED and fired, followed close by the
firing of the Panhandle offices and Of
the huge grain elevators, which.
crammed with grain, stood near the
Union depot. At this time, three
solid miles along the track was mass
of flames, and the frightened citizens
began to organize and arm. rs they
should have done As hours sooner,
while the fire departments, which on
pain of death were not permitted to
throw water on anything belonging
to railway, were struggling 10 pro-
tect the city.
And jus, about here the fury of the
mob began to show signs of having
worn itself out. The great crowd-of
which during these terrible scenes the
original striking railroad men formed
only u small fraction began to dwin-
die; and before daylight Monday the
place of battle, of fire, and of pillage,
was smoking scene of desolation,
guarded by the police and the citizens
vigilance ~ committees.
The destruction Of property is esti-
mated at over fre millions oJ' dollars.
So much entirely gone-dissipated in
smoke-of the accumulated earnings
of the country. Who is better off:
Not the laborers, certainly. But
worse, even, than this were the scenes
where friends were weeping over the
hundred of murdered and twice that
number of wounded men, women and
children--the victims of those who
SOW the wind, no matter who shall
