The Russian Turkish War is about
at an end, with victory absolute and
complete perching on the Russian bsn-
ners. The utter and overwhelming de
feat Of the Turks on almost every bat
tie field since the War began, has final
ly culminated in their total rout and
their armies are broken up into Wild
est stampedes. Turkish inhabitants
have also partaken Of this eoAsterna-
ton and disnay to such an extent as
to fy from their towns and cities and
scatter In ali directions, with only the
prospects of famine and destruction be-
fore them. The suffering of those un-
fortunate creatures is reported as ap-
palling and almost pas. belief. Many
are perishing from the intense cold and
thousands are without food or shelter
Of any kind. Many mothers are re-
ported in their frenzy to have thrown
away their living babes rather than see
them die in their arms.
The Turks are row urgent for peace
and on almost any terms. Latest dis
patches inform US thai peace negotia-
tions are now pending and it is expect
that an armistiee viii shortly be declar-
ed and a permanent peace arranged.
So it may be safely asserted thai the
war Is about at an end.

HEARD FROM.
justice

A friend writing us from scio says
he has seen and talked with "our little
man" since his return from his pilgrim
age through Linn, and that he says the
Republicans are getting things ia good
shape in Linn. They have secured the
nominationof a Greenback ticket, which
the little Mitchellite says win be the
salvation of the Republicans in Linn
county.
Welt he little gopher's efforts in the
service of his master are to some extent
being rewarded, for there are already
two Greenback Clubs organized in the
county. But we do wonder how the
Democratic portion of that movement
win feel if it secures the reelection of
that great Radical frand 90 the o. S.

That coarse buffoon and eminent blk,
Brick Pomeroy, Is mad at the editor Of
this paper because we have lately been
smoking him out in his treaohery to
the Democracy, and he undertakes to
Tstaliate by hurting his stink-pets at US.
But this is not to be wondered at, as it
is his only resort when cornered. His
charge about our conduct at the st.
Louis Convention is lie, made out Of
whole cloth, which we could prove,
were it worth the trouble, by Hons. J.
c. Braly, H. H. Gilfr,, R. R. ThOmp-
son, J. n. Turner tour associate dele
gates) and every other gentlemen with
whom We associated while at that Con-
vention.
But we can't afford TO defile our col
umns in controversy with this mass of
treachery, brutality and rottenness,
whose whole history shows an utter
want of even the oommonest instincts
Of manhood. A man who in drunken
brawls beat hR wife until she wes
forced to fy to the law for protection
and release from his besstly persecu-
tions, and who married another woman
only to drive her on 70 the stage to get
free Of his coarse coEpanionship a man
Who lugged of $4,000 ef Boss Tweed's
hush money the man who, pretending
to be Democrat, pocketed thousands
Of dollars by selling out the party to
the Radicals in the late Presidential
campaign the man who, while travel
ing in California a few years ago, had
his posterior kicked from one end to the
othor Of the Grand Central Hotel at
Oakland by an outraged husband whose
wife he had maliciously and cowardly
slandered; a man who has been the
subservient tool of all interests and
trae to none a man who advocates
neither politics or morals without the
promise of plunder; a man devoid alike
of character and honor-to decent so
eiety an Ishmaelite, and to manhood a
burning shame,-this sort of creature
Is no fit subject for comment or contro-
versy, and the sooner the base wretch
goes to his place with Judas, the better
for the purity of the atmosphere and
the relief of the country.

The Indiana Democratic State Con-
vsntion is called to meet in Indianapo-
lis on the Goth Of February. The State
committee, in its address to the Demo.
cratic voters Of Indiana, sets forth in
measured but burning terms the public
condemnation of the great crime by
which Hayes and Wheeler were inaug.
urated, notwithstanding their defeat at
the polls. This is the first occasion, .
reads the address, aupon which the
committee has been called upon to ad-
dress you since the election of 1876.
We cannot now be wholly silent upon
what took place after that election. 1t
is known to you all that Tilden and
Hendricks were elected, and according
to the Constitution and laws they should
have been inaugurated. A cabinet ofR
Ger announced to the country the flag
rant falsehood that Hayes and Wheeler
were elected, and then it was resolved
that they should be forced into the
Offices. The President gave his sane
ton to the high, h,handed proceeding, and
commanded the military forces of the
country to be assembled at Washing
ton, thereby seeking to control the ac-
ton of Congress and dictate his sue
cessor. The work was done. The right
of the people to select their rulers at
the ballot box was sacrificed to the
greedy demands of party, and in the
presence of military power Rather
than involve the country in civil strife,
or even expose it to the hazard of that
dreadful calamity, the Democrats in
Congress chose to trust the Judges of
the Supreme Court. That trust was
disappointed, and resulted in fraud
even members Of that high court so far
forgot the dignity Of their position as
to allow themselves to be used to serve
the purpose of partisan power and gain.
We do not propose to disturb the in
cumbents, but the people owe it to
themselves and the institutions Of the
country that rest upon the ballot box to
rebuke the crime, so that it never can
be repeated. The party has made no
gain by its crime. II is filed with dis
trust and dissensions. Neither depart
ment trusts the other. Indeed, how
could it be otherwise I Hayes knows
that the commission declared him elect
ed when he was net elected and the
country knows that he has identified
himself and made himself and his ad-
ministration a party to the crime by
appointing to lucrative offices nearly all
the men who had guilty connection with
the foul returning board transaction.
One of the wretches from Florida, ncln-
mated for chief justice of one of the
territories, was so vile that the Senate
was compelled but few days since to
reject him. May We not ask sincere
and honest Republicans whether they
are content to indcrse this crime by
their votesi VIII they net rather Join
us in its condemnation and in an hon
est effort to return to better govern
ment, with the hope that better times
will followf Every friend of the Re
public owes il to himself and to the
cause of liberty and justice, to condemn
the monumental crime of the ages, and
never to condOne to mOnstrous villainy.

Republican papers charge that the
taxes in our State are extremely high.
The tax per capita in Oregon is only
s6.4o, while in California it is sIz-

tax as is levied in Oregon.
