SENATOR SPENCER, the radical carpet
bagger who disgraces Alabama in the SEN
ate of the United State, conscious of the
fact that it will be best for himself, as
well as for his State, TO leave for distant
parts after the expiration Of his term of
six years, March 3, 1879, has been pros
pecting the Black Hills religion, with a
party OF his own PICKING. They have
twice been mistaken for highwaymen, as
they rode ever the mountain stage-roads.
II the others Of the party are Ike Spencer
the mistake was very natural one forgood
judges Of character to have made On one
occasion, when a stage-ioal Of well-armed
and fearless passengers prepared for deS-
perate encounter with the supposed rob
bers, the Spencer party, no5 eager for d
fray, resorted to ready specimen of false
report to save themselves. He shouted
To the stage-lGad that they were honest
men Possibly some of the passengers
then recognized Spencer, for the word
came instantly back "1hrow up yonr
hands !" and in that position, at a dead
halt, they were compelled to stand uptil
the stage got beyond gunshot from the
place.

PoLITICu BoBBERy.-Somevery damag-
ing revelations are being made by the leg
islative committee cf South Carolina,
now in session IT Columbus. The proofs
are numerous that the state treasury has
been systematically and sAcmafully rob-
bed for years bv officers sworn to guard
the rights Of the people. As a sanpls Of
the corruption pract;scd, the committee
have brought to light the slight plank
partitions in the c.e-l, and committee
rooms of the state house were erected at
cost Of twenty-five or thirty dollars
each. Fifty dollars was charged, however,
and this ammount was increased afterward
ts six hundred and fifty dollars in each in
stance, and the bills admitted and paid
By these disclosures We can understand
better than ever why the South Carolini-
ans had 50 great an aversion to carpet
bag rule.

EUROPEAN DEMAND FOR BRrArsrUFrs

EURofEAN DEMAND FOR BRrApsrUFFs.
For some years past the potato crop in
Europe has been essentially reduced in
quantity, owing TO diseases of the vines,
and in consequence more breadstuffs have
been required. The supply OF beef has
also been less, owing TO the diseases of
cattle 1t is likely the interferences with
the supply OF two such importent COM
modities VIII cause greater demand for
American wheat, corn and beef, an I'M
portant trade in the last named article
having been developed with our Eastern
seaportS. Indian corn. which is being
extensively introduced into England to
take the place of wheat, has also found
such favor with the people that it viii re-
duce the required quantity Of the latter,
and to some extent regulate the price.
There is little doubt but that SO long as
we can furnish wheat at reasonable prices
England viii take what we can spare.

R. NJ BISHOP, the democratic candidate
for governor of Ohio, is thus described by a
Cincinnati Enquirer reporter: "A tall, broad
shouldere,l, finely-formed man of perhaps
sixty, model Kentuckian in build, with
full, long gray whiskere, not only gray but
indeed white, keen, but withal pleasant
eye, a shapely hand, which in early days
his days as a retailer-has often adjusted the
weight on the counter-scales while It's owner
gossiped pleasantly with the country women
over her quarter OF pound of tea, number
seven foot, good shaped legs, full chest. and
business head, the, white hair on top Of
which, when ne stood up was fully six feet
from the floor. He smiled as Re saw the re-
porter enter, for Mr. Bishop, as q christian
gentleman, is always kind to the humblest-

lief is that unless ths democrats come 10

which illustration viii be made that Hayes
is repudiatcd in his own State, or that the
only salvation for the future Of the radical
party is 10 read him out or It, and thus be
aloof from any responsibility for his official
acts Il Indications are worth anything
as showing the way the wind blows, they
unmistakably point to the fact that the
President is losing ground with his party
each passing day.

JUDGE WEST on CAPITAL AND LABOR.
The speech oi Judge West at Cleveland
caused several Eastern republican papers
to raise the question if he was a proper
man to be made governor Of Ohio. Some
papers went SO far as to say that leayen
of communism could be detected In his
speech. Others simply pronounced him
visionary and impractical, and disposed 10
attempt 70 do things by law which eaa
only be done by voluntary agreement be-
tween parties. The points OF the Cleve-
land speech were these /. That labor
should receive that compensation which
shall he sufficient for support and sus-
tenance OF the laborers. 2. That the
great railroad companies should be pro-
hibited from SO reducing their rates, by
ruinons competition, rs TO disable them
selves from paying just compensation to
their operatives. 5. Some arrangement
which should secure q minimum of wages
for labor with ceTtain per cent, Of the

Army AID NHITIA--Ths principal
object of the regular army is to protect
The country against foreign enemies and
hostile Indians. The army IS not priinari-
ly designed to maintain domestic peace
and order, and to suppress trouble ana
riots falling short ~ All actual rebellion
While this task belongs to the proper
sphere of the state governments the
federal constitution f6rbids the state
without tlie consent Of Congress TO keep
troops IN time of peace, but it declares a
well regulated militia necessary To the
security of a free state. The trainers OF
the constitution never contemplated the
maintenance of large military establish
nlent by the nation, and therefore granted
the federal government the power II call
inc he militia OF the several states into
It's service, providing that IN such case
the president shouh I've its comm@nder-in-
chief. Power is vested IN Congress " to
provide for calling forth the militia to
execute the laws Of the Union, suppress
instructions, ard ropel invasions. Con
gress has passed acts authorizing the
President to call forth the militia in
certain exigencies. The constitution fur
ther gives to Congress power " to provide
for organizing, arming and disciplining the
militia, and for governing such part of
them as may be employed in the service
of the United Safes reserying to the
states, respectively, the appointment of
the officers and the authority of training
the militia according to the disciplin pre-
scribed by Congress. This power has
never been fully exercised, but the time
may yeomefor Congress to consider whether
it is not expedient to use It's constitutional
authority IN the premises. The country
will never tolerate large standing army
until it is prepared To surrender its iber-
ties, and it will continue TO regard the use
of the army for other purposes than war
and the suppression of rebellion, with
jealousy and suspicion. This very feeling,
however, should lead TO making the army
as well organized and efficient as possible.

Low W,GEs.-The Philadelphia Press
gives the following as The prices paid for
labor in the rural districts of Berks coun-
ty, Pennsylvania Girls get from s. to IS
per month, some persons hiring them ex-
pecting them to do the work of men.
Hired men are paid from S6 to $40 per
month day laborers, 10 cents men who
nov with the cradle, 81 ;rakers and bind
.ers, 70 cents. As low as these prices may
appear, wages throughout the New Eng
lands States are no better, except IN large
towns /; and there persons carrying on bust
ness, even with these prices, are scarcely
making both ends meet. The proof Of
this is found in the numerous failures
which are taking place.

THE opinion grows IN Europe that Bus
sia has given up all hopes of finishing her
war this summer, and is preparing to car
nv it over TO the next spring. 1t would be
likely to prove heavier strain for the sick
man than a quick and adverse campaign.
af he were beaten now Europe might IN
terfere to set him on his feet, and save his

SrRAxcE AFFAIR.-The Salem Mercury
learns that Mrs. Ireland, wife OF u. Z.
Ireland. editor OF the AStOTidn, was COM
nlitted to the insane asylum under CIR
cunstances which give coloring TO the sus-
picion that foul play has been resorted 10
in order to accomplish the object Mr.
Alien says that the the lady IN question
came on board the steamer Hay'rard at
Astoria in company with her husband and
children. Soon after the boat left the
wharf Mrs. Ireland discovered that her
husband and children, except a baby,
were left behind, and she in the hands OF
an officer, who produced all the legal pa
pers necessary to her commitment to the
insane asylum. To al appearances she
was as sane as any other person on the
boat, and soon enlisted the sympathies OF
al on board. Immediately on the arrival
ef The KaGrrrd at Portland, Mrs. Ireland
was conveyed by the officer to the asylum,
while her friends openly declared their
intention of investigating the questona-
bic affair and hherating her from what
seemed TO them 10 be foul conspiracy to
deprive her of her liberty. From parties
who visited the asylum We learn that the
lady is to all appearances sane, and there Is
strong probability that the matter will be
investigated. The county judge of Clatsop
county, who made out the eommittai pa
pers, probably can throw some light on
the subject.

WHERE DID THEY GET ARMS.-It has
often been asked where did the hostiles
oct all their Henry rifles and other good
Guns and ammunition The Indians them
selves say they bought three of their good
a7,ns Of soldiers at the Walla Garrison,
that many of their Henry rifles they OBJ
tanned of traders at Walla Walla, and am
munition they had bought from nearly all
of the traders, that they also bought many
cartridges of soldiers at Walla Walla, and
some were obtained of soldiers at the last
council held at Lapwai, when Gen. How
ard was present. Of course these are In
dian statements, but there may be more OF
truth than fiction in them, and for the
sake OF white humanity we hope the or,
der lately issued by the President forbid
ding the sale of arms and ammunition tC
