A TEST CAsE-Navy Officer Cornell is
occupying considerable space in the pub
lie eye at the present time. Not having
the fear of the Presidential order to alb
stain from meddling actively in politics
before his mind, he presided few days
ago over the state republican committee
of New York 1t is said by the Washing
ton letter-writers that his conduct was de-
hberate, and he was willing to become q
martyr for the sake of having test case.
Senator Conkling approves the gentle
mans independence, and denounces the
order as uncalled for and disruptiye of
the republican party. Senator Jones, of
Nevada, is represented as holding to the
theory that the President has no more
right to prohibit an office holder "from
joining political club than debating So
ciety or church Another distinguished
gentleman has said that "the Presidents 8
Southern policy might be easily acquies-
ced in, but this arbitrary order never !"
The anxiety now is to know what action,
if any, the President will take toward Mr..
Cornell. One correspondent declares the
Presidents mind is made up, and that he
will remove MIR. Cornell as soon as Mr..
Eyarts returns to the capital

WnEAr.-Buyers in the early part of
the week paid as high a 81 OF and 81 O3,
on board the cars for wheat. Now paving
SO cents to 81 90 on board cars We hear
considerable complaint of wheat which
was not merchantable being thi own upon
the hands Of local buyers, acting as agents.
and understand that several car loads
have been returned Farmers, in that
case, must pay freight and charges both
ways We would advise farmers to offer
only merchantable wheat in order to avoid
trouble and expense to themselves; and
when wheat is mixed with oats and cookie.
it would be better to put it in the mill to
be cleaned, when it viii bear shipment.
We learn that wheat has been shipped
back from Portland to points on the road,
and thrown on the hands of the farmers,
who have to refund the money and nav
freight and charges both ways. Freight
on car load of wheat from Eugene is
$50, return freight, $50, and extra charges
about $40, making $40 per car load which
is dead loss to farmers shipping unmer-
chantable wheat.-Eugens Guard.

A STANDING ARMY.-The cry for n
great army is not to keep it standing for
foreign foes. Let MS frankly understand
why We want the splendid possession. 1t
has been considered in cabinet and with
it was considered also the proposition to
build harbor gm-boats and put the GOV
ernment buildings by the margins of the
great waters. The movement is directed
against the people, and the guns of the
sea-coast fortrcsses are to be turned i'll
ward instead of outward When this ar
rangement is completed it viii be well to
keep the guns shotted and the port-tires
lighted, for the people will surelyrise when
cannon are pointed down the streets as a
proyOcation.

AN INDIcAroN.-It is an encouraging
indication for the success of the republi-
can cause in France at the October cleo
tions, that no candidate for the assembly
has been put up by the republicans against
the 1868 members who voted a want of con-
fdenca in the Mcmahon government, and
that out of 1G6 other constituencies to be
contested, there are but in which more
than one candidate of the same party is
running. This proves that the liberals are
entirely united, and have hopeful pros
pect OF achieving a victory. There may
be said to be four parties on the other
side-that of MacNIahon and the three
royal aspirants, who are divided ON every
other subject than the one of destroying
the republic.

canvass of 1876 will be quoted as the dark

A Thrcadbarc Subject.

EDITOR STATESMAN The Portland SEN
t;nei criticises the closing paragraph OF the
"Adieu to Father Duffy" as published IN
your paper. The strong language no doubt
hurt, but we have known bishops who were
not saints, and priests who were not perfect,
and because they were not what they claimed
to be, were liable to err. 1t is proper that
their errors should be pointed out. Now,
what was the real cause OF this change. Is
it true, as the Sentinel says, that Father
Duffy's valuable services were needed IN the
parish presided over by Father Brondel!
We think not. This sort of reasoning throws
slur upon Father Brondel The true cause
is to be found in Misrepresentation, not to
say calumny, of priest, whom the bishop,
although unwilling, was subsequently COM
PEELED to disrObe Much Inconvenience has
been wrought by this change of priests, as
for example, the body of a lady, who died
on the Sound pending the change, had TO be
conveyed distance of some 90 miles IN or
der to obtain the assistance OF priest at
her burial and at this place, it is not at all
unlikely, that at least one soul might have
had the consoIatiOns of religion, had the
priest here been better acquainted with the
lukewarm Catholics, Such mismanagement
should not be allowed to go unrebuked. We
offer up prayers that a more rational policy
may hereafter prevail. AMIGA JUSTIoIA.

CHICAGO'S LATEST TROUBLE. event
since her great fire-not even the whiskey
ring exposures occasioned a more
profound sensation or a greater excitement
than the failure of the State Savings Bank
OF that city, and its attendant circumstan-
ces. This institution carried nearly So
OO0, 900, and had twelve thousand depos-
itOrs. When the failure was announced,
d. d. Spencer, the President of the Bank
took his departure from the city, with the
announcement that his destination was
New York, where he intended raising
funds to enable the bank to resume ope-
rations. He did not 60 to New York, and
since the date of his disappearance moth
ing has been heard of him. About the
same time the cashier and his assistant
abscOnded, and the stockholders and de-
positors are left TO examine the affairs of
the bank, and ascertain how much these
three worthless have stolen-a duty upon
which they have entered, with prospect
before them, as they proceed, that is far
from encouraging. Spencer owned con-
siderable property, but an examination of
the records shows that he had put it out
OF his hands some time before the bank
failure, and it is not supposed that any
considerable portion of it can be made
available To meet his defalcation. One
slight consolation remains to the deposit
ors. Under the law of Illinois. every
person who was stockholder six months
prior to the date of the failure is liable
for the Indebtedness of the bank to the
face value of his shares. Several of the
number have endeavored to shirk their
responsibility. and others are bankrupt,
which makes reliance in this direction
much less satisfactory than it should be.

The CHINESE PEsT.-Queensland is
even worse afflicted with the evil of Chi
nese immigration than the Pacific coast.
The colony threatenes to be completely
Overrun with these people, and in conse-
quence the head of the government has
sent a dispatch to the Premier of the
Australian colonies, invoking co-opera-
tion to get rid of the difficulty. This dis
patch declares that the influx is owing to
treaty formed by Yictoria's government
with the Chinese Empire, which the
Queenshnders want abrogated.
