In Australia cattle are far in excess OF
the demand, and win not sell for more than
can be realized from, their hides, taflow,
horns, &C., for expectation. The flesh is
almost valueless. An immense establish
mcnt has been started there for boiling the
meat into condensed soap Or extract. The
meat, cut into large chanks, is enclosed in
an enormous tight cylinder capableof hold
ing so hnllocks at q time, and steamed for
7 hours. The tallow is then skinned off,
and the meat, mere pulp, is sfurther solidified
and canned for exportasion.o A bullock
makes about 20 pounds of extraet,as to the
nutritious quality of which there is wide
difference cf opinion. # 2soz 7s41&- g

Australia has a schemer, Mr.. Fl. Z. Rus
den. who proposes to reduce the week from
seven days to five, and rename the days by
calling them oneday, Twoday, Threeday,
Fourday and Goodday, the latter being the
holy day or substitute for Sunday. Mr..
Rusden is very sangnine as to the success
of his scheme, and answers the plea of i'm
praeticability with the remark that "the
week itself was actually altered by the Ro-
mans, Greeks and many other people. %
Notwithstanding all which there Is no i'm
mediate probability that the plan will be
adopted. It would puzzle even the devout
to have score more of Sundays to dispose
of in each year.

saa- A letter from Kischenef mentions that
the Grand Duke Nicholas lately said:

Although Russia has on paper an army
which, when fully modified, numbers near
ly 1000, coo men, the forces which she has
sent against the Turks show that she is not
yet prepared to bring into action more than
small portion of her nominal strength.
Military men are of the opinion that she
will need nearly 100000 men before the
march son to Constantinople can be ta-
ken up with any degree of certainty that
success will attend her arms. The Russians
can take their own time about crossing the
Danube, and their officers can probably be
presumed to know about what number of
men they will need to overcome them.
Fighting in Turkey territory is not novel
thing for Russia. 'ass b ssss@s9 -

defnition of freeholder, in common law.

matters not whether ne owns property
or not, SO long as he is the head of u
family. This is the letter of the law,
unquestionably; but whether it is the
spint of the law, or the intention of the
power which framed the organic act of
this Territory, is quite another affair.
The spirit of the law should not be dis
regarded, nor overridden just because
the letter of the law is badly expressed.
The ruling might at the first blush be
regarded as absurd. Were it not that
believe that the surest way to repeal
obnoxious laws, is to insist upon their
Judge Lewis was addicted to hairs, lit
ting. But it is evident enough to us
that he sees the defect in the law and
desires its modification. 1t this pre-
cept were to become a standing rule, an
irresponsible tramp" with wife and
child would be more eligible as juror
than the wealthlest and most honorable
bachelor in the county. and if one
man on jury was bieamist and the
head of two families, then the cause
could go to trial with eleven men, like
the celebrated Cancemi case in New
York, some years ago. But we are
convinced that Junge Lewis is working
to gain a repeal of such portion of the
act as renders those things possible;
and that before long. it will no
difference whether good Juror is mar
rled or net. So long as he is qualified
voter aud not an infamous person.
We were not favorably impressed
with Judge Lewis on first acquaint-
ance, but his frank and manly ways are
calculated to disarm prejudice and
make him friends where he least ex-
poets them He is the superior. as

I save Judge Sha:tuck. He is less of
partisan than Watson, more studious
than Macarthur. less tickle than Prim
and less bigoted than Boise. He was
great Improvement upon his predeces-
sor, who is man of sterling integrity,
though better fitted for bar than bench.
We should regard his resignation from
the Bench of this Territory tfor he has
more than once talked of it) as a pub
lie calamity. 1t is not alone for his
nice sense of equity that we like to see
him ON the bench; it Is for his ready
and metbodical way of ruling, upon
questions both of law and of practice.

Senator Booth, of California, has de-
livered the great speech of the season

only replete with patriotic sentiment,

The action Of Judge Wheeler, of
San Francisco, in granting perpetual
injunction against the Neacs Letters
ever mentioning the name of Fred
eric Clay's bogus banking opera
tions, is a piece of downright tyran-
ny. The Neacs Letter says no more
about Clay than the Bulletin said,
but why does not Wheeler issue a
like injunction against the chloral-
hydrate organ?

The Cregonian suggests that some Of Its
country exchanges take down their po-
Htical poultry, as they look frosf-bitten.
We concur. Ii there is anything calcu-
lated to disgust sensible readers in
either party, it is picture of puking
rooster, or some other equally ridicu-
lous device. No paper ever gained any
permanent patronage by such vulgar
pandering to a Yahoo appetite. Every
Hoosler schoolmaster that comes to O1e-
gon, thinks he Can edit newspaper;
and makes up in cocks and blackguard-
ism, what he lacks in sense.

There is prospect Of the immediate
passage of the salmon Matching bill in
troduced by the Republican Senator
from Oregon. This is no premature
movement, for if the catch of salmon
is as large in the next five years. on the
Columbia. as it has been during the
past five. the fisheries will not make ex-
penses after 1882. A hatching-house
in clear, cold water would be of great
benefit and help to sustain our material
wealth. for the largest canneries are in
this Territory, though Oregon reaps all
the glory Of them.

A spECK OF WAR.

InlngS Degln TO look ike 3 resort
to arms, and we regret to see it.
Louisiana has her militia, armed by
her lawfully elected Governor,
Nichols, to protect the Treasury
against the Vaccinations of the ras-
cal Kellogg and his tool, Packard.
Indiana's Governor has called out
his minute men to protect, not the
State, but the Federal Government
against the premeditated usurpation
of Grant who, if he can keep both
Tilden and Hayes out of the Presi-
Dental chair till the 9th of March,
will proclaim himself Dictator by
reason of military necessity. Penn
sylvania. the Governor of which is
a mere tool of old Simon Cameron,
the most corrupt man in America,
is also calling out her minute-men,
but she is for Hayes, and will sup
port him in defiance of the self-evi-
dent fact that Samuel J. Tilden is
the lawfully-elected President of
the United States. That mere mil
itary satraps like Ruger and Badger
(who are merely Grants men of
dirty work. should be in the field
with armed men, is by no means a
matter of wonder. They are sol
diers by profession and have no
idea above the supremacy of the
army.
We don't apprehend an outbreak
from anything that has yet trans
pired. ''It is one thing to fight a
mob and another to fight the peo-
ple," as General Sherman remarked
to the Governor of California in
1856. If the hero of the Great
March from Atlanta to the Sea, has
not gone back upon the precepts OF
his earlier life, the people can count
upon him as against such discomfit-
ed schemers as Grant, Morton and
lack Chandler. There are yet fifty
days left for the people to answer
this question-is there public vir-
tue enough left in America to inau-
gurate a President who has been
fairly and honorably elected? 1t is
impossible to resist the. belief that
Tilden carried Louisiana, not by
one thousand but ten thousand ma
jority. The people see it and will
not be robbed. of the fruits of fair
ly earned victory. We deprecate
war but we also deny that the fact
of the Republican party having saw
ed the nation, also gives them the
right to bankrupt it, twelve years
later, by its venality. The Treasury
Department is but little better to-
day than vast brothel kept up at
the expense of the nation. 1t is a
degrading picture to behold. Re-
form can only come through the
agency of the Democratic party land
that party has long since elected
Samuel J. Tilden as the Chief Ma
gistrate of the Nation.
