played by their standard bearer, the
Fraudulent Hayes.
THE SWEEPING CHANGES
to be made in the New York Custom
House, will cause the 'hottest" dis
cussion in the Senate ever known, as
it effects the big guns (Conkling s. co.,
of the radical party. The reasons
which have heretofore been given for
this determination on tho part of the
Cabinet, have been merely those
whims of the writer's thereof The
true cause of this Wholesale slaughter
will be given to the public about the
time Congress meets in extra session.
This decision Of Mr.. Hayes has stirred
up tho iveliest kind of whirlpool
among the RAIDS, and whilst q recon-
sideration may possibly occur, still we
think it not at all probable. The abuses
which have existed in the N. Y. Gus
tom House are as much attributable
to the system as to the corrupt
officials, aud whilst the appoint
ments therein have for years
been the perquisite of Conkling. we
are at loss to see the remedy by
ousting them and giving the perqui.
sites to Mr.. Evarts or some other Re-
publican who would like to succeed

Letter from Milton.
MILroN, OREeoN. Feb. 2j. !

MILros, OREGON, Feb. 2j 1877.
EDITOR STATEsaAN:-A few lines in re-
gard TO the growth and prOrperity of our
thriving little town may possibly be Of IN
terert to the renders of your paper. Milton
boasts Of two small stores, two hotels, two
blacksmith shops. two feed stables. one meat
market, several carpenters, boot and shoe
shop, and last and least of sll, a whiskey
mill.
The splendid Touring mill owned and run
BY John Miller, just adjoining the town. is
doing thriving business, and ia turning ont
valley.
We have good school rsnning almost the
year round.
There Is subscription paper now being
circulated to raise means TO build union
church, that -is for all denominations TO wor-
ship in !; and am informed that the proIac-
tors are meeting with good success, and that
the house will be built the coming summer.
Mart Taylor Is here teaching the boys snd
girls. and some OF tns older ones, how TO
hold the pen and sling ink. Mart 'aos how
to do it.
The citizens of Milton are busy grading
streets, Ieveling up lots, and making general
improvements. Lots are selling from SO to
S200 What we must sand IN need of is a
good store, with general assortment of mer-
ehandise; sn INSTITUTION Of tbst kind wonl5
pay weIl. In conclusion, ] viii cav ths,
Milton has the best facilities for running
machinery of any town in the valley; her
water powers cannot be surpassed in any re-
spect in this upper country MILTON

RUSSIA.-The latest news is to the effect
that Russia has an army or nesrly 2O0, 900
men ready TO take the field. At the came
time the Gar is reported as expressing him
self in a very public fashion, and statements
are made showing that Ru--is is in very
bad condition financially There car be no
question that the State of Russia's fuancs
and commerce is very precarIous, and that
the prospect of serious war mnst tend still
further TO depress trade and industry and
cripple the money market But there are
other reasons which make it probable that
war will BE- commenced, rOtHit hstanding all
these draw backs, and In that event the draw
backs themselves will operate TO make the
war more vigorous For Russia cannot
maintain large army in insction long. and
must find work for it. II IL doubtful whel her
war can make the financial condition very
much worse than it is, while the issus of war
may improve the situation. The Emperor
is strongly ayerss to fighting. but the Caro-
witch is rs keen for war, and formidable
faction supports and follows him. Russia
cannot hope 10 stsrve or wait out Turkey,
aud therefore she will be compelled to pro-
ceed, now that she has commenced, and will
do so on the theory that anything promises
better than irscrion. The views of the
Emperor will probably be over-nled by his
more energetic sdvisera, and as coon "a the
spring opens the army will be pushed forward
into Turkey. No matter what complications
may be hazsr1e., this ia the most probable
event fer Russia may be said to stand almost
alone upon the policy of war, aud, since the
other powers have refused to JOIN her. she
need net be over solicitous about protecting
their interests.

Hayes elected, and the triumph not
won By the republican party at the
election be thus accorded 20 them, We
firmly believe that it will be the end
of the republican organization So
completely disguised are the people
now with the refusal of the republican
managers to Weld to the fairly eN-
pressed verdict of the people at the
polls, that they will never vote anoth-
republican ticket. That party will
achieve power and position now at the
cost of IFS future life, and we don't
Fnow but that, after all, this would be

DIVORCE LAWYERS. - Illinois has
made some praiseworthy efforts to
check the practice Of advertising "to
procure divorces without publicity"
but SO far with Indifferent success. a
conspicuous offender of this descrip
ton was stricken off the role of prsc
tising attorneys, but he still contrives
to do bis work through other attor-
aeys who do not appear as public ad
ver,isers. The Chicago Bar ASsocia-
tion is deeply chagrined that the prac
tice should be continued, and now ask
the Illinois Legislature 10 enact that
"whoever advertises, prints, publishes,
distributes or circulates, or causes TO
be advertised, printed, published. dis
tributed or circulated, any circular.
phamphlet, card, hand bill, advertise
ment, printed paper, book, newspaper,

procure, or to aid in procuring, any
divorce, either in that State or else-
where, shall be fined not less than
Sl00, nor more than $1,000, for each
offence, and be imprisoned in the
county Jail not less than three months
nor more than one year." This act
not to apply to the printing CT publica.
ton of notices for procuring service
of process by publication, upon de
PENDANTS in chanCoIy cases, as provid.
ed for IN the revised statutes OF 1874,
but with this exception 1t seems a
sweeping blow at The divorce busi-
ness.

In Louisiana James Lewis has been
chosen for the short term of two years
by the Packard legislature, aud the
Nichols legislature has thus far failed
10 elect, but there will be demo
cratic claimant for the sea-. Governor
Kellogg has been elected for the long
term by the Packard legislature, and
]. b. Eustis by the Nichols Legislature.
The two seals will be contested by four
claimants. A like contest comes from
South Carolina, where the Chamber
lain legislature elected ID. I. Corbin
and the Hampton legislature elected
NJ. g. Butler. 1t is probable that
either the whole three republican
claimants from the two States will be
admitted, o. tina; the whole three
democrats will be accepted by the
Senate. Should the republicans be
admitted, the republican strength will
be increased to AZ and the appa, ent
republican majority to I. Should the
democrats be admitted, the democratic
strength would be increased TO 81,
leaving nominal republican majority
OF 2. We say apparent or nominal
republican majority. because it would
be wholly unreliable majority for
any extreme partisan measure. such as
Morton and Cameron have been &C
customed TO force upon the party.
The present Senate stands 46 repubIi-
cans, 20 democrats and one vacancy.

OLKoaARGERINE.-This Substitute
for butter has not been much heard
from of late in this region, but seems
TO find an active market abroad never
theless. The n. Y Tribune says that
its makers. after invoicing huge guam
ties of it through the Custom House
20 foreign lands, sometimes as grease
sometimes as 'suet,' and often as 're6n-
ed tallow,' have at last cut the matter
of fact and settled down on 'butterine.'
Last month about l 100000 pounds of
this article was sent abroad from that
port. 500, 900 of it going to France,
EnglaGd and Scotland. Germany and

RETURNING BoARDs.-American pol
hicians are Just discovering the utility
of returning boards. They may be
briefly defined as al invention which
enables a person 10 forecast with rea-
sonsble certainty the result of an elec-
ton. The n. Y. Times was the first
journal in the United States to CON-
prehed their fnll efficiency. Thus, the
Times asserted stoutly from the cleo
ton day that Hayes and Wheeler had
carried Florida aud Louisiana Other
journals could not quite understand
the persistency OF the Times, more
especially as it was retIeent in the
matter of figures; but everybody
knows now that the Times was right.
HAYES and Wheeler did carry those
two State in spite of the general inn
preston to the contrary, in PROOF of
which We can point TO the eight mem
bers of the august electoral commits
siou who have just testified to The tact
nnder oath. Nothing of course can
he more conclusive than this. The
point in which the Times excelIed all
other American newspapers was in its
confidence in The returning bnards Of
The two States above mentioned. It's
faith in those political experiments
never fsltered, and il is now justified
by the success which has attended
their joint labors No gambler with
loaded dice in his hand was ever more
certain Of throwing SKIES at will than
was the prediction that the returning
boards of Florida and Louisiana would
return the votes of their States for
Hayes and Wheeler.

COINAGE OF SILVER DoLLARs.-The
Illinois Senate has passed by unaui-
---.v, ---~l--.i--.. -~1~e-.:-s
Congress TO restore the coinage Of
silver dollars. The resolution had
previously passed the House with bet
few dissenting votes. The Chicago 7ri-
bmae is satisfied that nineteen twenti-
eths of the people of Illinois, irrespcc-
tive of party, desire the silver dollar
reu anetized and made a full legal
terder for everything. The St. Louis
Republican says the same OF Missouri,
and adds that Indiana, Ohio, Michi,
gan and nearly all the Western and

IMPORTANT TO ERs.-The Supreme
Court of Philadelphia has Just render
cd decision which, if correctly stat
ed, denotes strange Interpretation OF
the principles of justice. The decision,
it is stated, declares that a sale of
goods by sample is not a warrant ;
that is 10 say, the buyer and seller in
q business transaction must have dis.
.inet understanding as to whether the
merchandise is to correspond to the
sample; nothing must be taken for.
granted the sample, when no agree
ment is made, only regulates the
"kind" and not the quality of the
goods; and SO long as the goods de-
liyered are a merchantable article of
the same kind as the sample, there is
no breach of warranty or actionabie
variation from the contract. The gen~
ersl opinion would be that The merehan
disc must be as good as the sample.
