TEE PRESIDENTIAL OUTLOOK
IN 1880.

Tie Republican party and press
throughout the United States seems
to have reached the conclusion that
the presidential election in 1880 is
settled, and that they can carry their
banner to victory. Their view is too
high tolored and far from the actual
standing of the two great parties.
While the Republicans in the North
secured aplcurality in all the northern
states, except Indiana and Oregon, at
the late elections, they only had
maiorities in three-Iowa, Kansas
and Colorado. The great states of
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin, the
combined strength of the Democratic
and National parties, exceed the Re-
publican vote. If the Democrats
and Nationals should unite their forces
on a western statesman sound on the
financial issues of the day there is no
doubt-but the Democracy can sweep
the country by the largest electoral
majority given any candidate for
years.
In New York the Republicans car
ried the state by $1,000. The Ma
tionals polled 10000 which, if added
to the Democratic vote, would place
the Republicans in a minority o.
SO, 900. In Pennsylvania the Repub.
: lican majority Is 1880 over ths
Democracy, but the combined vote o.
: the Democracy and Nationals place
the Republicans in minority $4,000
= In Michigan the Republicans have
majority of $4,000 over the Demo
Z Gratis, but the combined Democratic
and Rational vote places the Repuhli
y cans in a minority of $4,000 votes
In Illinois the Republican majority i
$1,000 yer the Democracy, but tn
} Democratic and National vote com
bined would defeat the Republica
party 3 1000 votes; and Wisconsi
gives only 500 majority against III
- Democracy, and with the combine
y vote of Democrats and Nationals til
Republicans would be in a minorit
: $1,000. All of the Southern STATE

That such a power is vested in the

cannot doubt. He who denies it

1t is possible and probable that all

Thanksgiving Day is new an %uniyer-

flying that the II next consecrated

counterpart of it that day Of humilia-
ton on which we lament our noble
dead and decorate their graves.
Other holidays are shading out and
Americans do not banker after new
ones. Every effort to introduce
them has fallen still-born. Besides
days Of humiliation in seasons OF
affection, the average citizen needs
none. Such days must be appointed
as occasion demonstrates their pro-
priety and necessity, but each re-
turning year, whether prosperous or
otherwise. demands recognition OF
God and perpetual sacrifice of thanks

On The Frazer.

A short time since Capt. Lloyd re-
turned from trip up Frazer river,
and gives the following interesting
account: This is the fishing season
there, and the river, from the bar to
Samass, distance of about 80 miles,
is lined with small boats and other
apparatus that is being used in con-
nection with the fisheries, which are
seven in number. There are not far
from $50 small boats, and four or five
small steamers being kept constantly
engaged in connection with this en-
terprise. Some 5000 Chinaman are
furnished employment, besidesa large
numbers Of white men. The time is
constantly taken up in catching the
July salmon (sockeyes, as they are
called except between II o'clock
Saturdays and o'clock Monday
mornings, during which time an OPP
portunity isgiven the fish to re-supply
the river, thereby providing for an
other weeks catch by the fishermen.
The Captain says it is astonishing to
see the immense quantity of fish that
are caught of a night; ESTIMATED at
$4,000 weighing s pounds each y that
the numerous wharves from 80 to IS
feet square are every morning laden
with fish that have been caught dur
ing the night, to a depth of three
feet.

ECCENTRIC INDIANs.-Amongothe
notable freaks of Indian character,
q correspondent from John Day
country relates the circumstances of
lady who had to flee from home
leaving everything to the mercy OF
the savages. She had quite amount
of glass dishes in the house,
and when the settlers ventured back
to their homes, they found that the
Indians had invaded this lady's pre-
misses, taking the dinner table out of
the house and set it with the glass
ware all in perfect order with knives
and forks at each plate, and also
carried out the chairs and set them
around the table opposite each plate.
In this condition things were found,
the Indians having LETT everything
ready for an imaginary feast, not q
a dish carried off or broken.

A new danger threatens and terri
fies the Democratic party in South
Carolina. 1t is well known that a
great majority of that state are col
ored. Great efforts have been made
to carry them over to the Democratic
party; and now it is said they are
joining that party in such numbers
there is every prospect that the white
element will be swamped by the
new negro converts. That would be
the domination of a negro majority
quite as calling and odious as if the
colored voters were massed in the OPP
posite party. 1t would somewhat
resemble the case of the horse in the
fable, who besought the man to help
him against the stag, but very soon
afterwards found that the rider whom
he had received on his back had be-
come his master.

The new industry of canning hall
bat, which is being inaugurated by
the Hoko Salmon Company, at Hollo,
w. T., bids fair to rival the salmon
export from this north Pacific Coast.
This company is engaging very ex-
tensively in the enterprise, as the
handsome labels being turned out by
the thousands by A. G.. Walling,
printer, goes to prove. The halibut
which are canned by this company
are caught by the Indians off Cape
Flattery, from certain banks called
by them, mountains in the Sea"
They are of medium uniform size,
young, fine favored, juicy and very
fat. The Indians often imperil their
lives to obtain them for their own use
rather than eat those to be had more
conveniently and in less dangerous
waters.

covered with only about three feet of
water. 1t was not known to any cap
tain on the Sound, we believe, and it

discovery almost took the breath of
some of the steamboat captains, as
they thought how serenely they had
