Editor Democrat
In the Oregoaiaa Of the 9th inst. We
saw an article copied from the Guard
in relation to University students, with
appropriate remarks lisa good thing
Years ago Gen. L, T. Applegate
spoke and ably wrote Of the New
Deal" That fact wo remember well.
We never knew the meaning Of the
term, SO MS to have full appreciation
of it, until the "Univsrsity boys" at
tempted to take the City of Eugene.
Now We know iss meaning, and until
the Board of Regents can promulgato,
carry out aud be governed by the prin-
eiples enunoiated in Judge Deady's lee
tIre on "Cties and Towns" wO humbly
ask for u new deal.
1t professors cannot attend 50 the
business for which they are employed,
and amply paid, then we suggest a new
deal
Until this thing is done We will stand
by tho General, endorse his sentiments
and reverence his judgment.
If scholars who attend the Uniyer-
sity free have the right to tell the Siti-
zens and taxpayers what they shall do
with their money, and how the city
shall be governed, then tos ,eant ne,o
deal
If our city elections are to be carried
by free scholarships and students at
seminaries of learning then we seek
ne,c deal
If professors send their children to
teach gray-haired men and tax payers
how to vote, and arrange the laws Of
the municipality, then we want an hon
est deal.
If men who receive large salaries,
coming from the hard-handed sons Of
toll, 'the hswers of wood and the draw
ers of water" are to run our little city,
then we pray for a new deal
Lot the matter stand as it may, pro-
fcssors should know that they are paid
for educational, and not tor political,
civil or religious purposes.
Let students know that they cannot
gain residence by attending Seminaries
of learning.
Let all know the laws of Cities and
Towns"
Let votes he cast in their proper
places.
Let professors attend to the business
for which they aro employed.
Let no classes be adjourned in the
University for the benefit of travelling
evangelists.
Let no term be extended for election
purposes FOR the period Of one week, or
any other time.
For the sake Of Haven give us a
1elo deai We are preycd upon too
much. \ good thing is good in its
place, but for Gods sake don't make it
poison. EUGENE.

A Question OF VERICIrY.

The Oregoniaa claims that the riff.
ratii, tramps, and rapscallions generally
voted for the new California Constitu.
ton but that paper may he aston
ished. to know that other Radical au-
thorities differ with it on this question.
The San Francisco Chronicle says the
supporters of the new Constitution
were patriots, citizens, farmers, labor
ers, poor depositors, tradesmen, taxpay-
srs, progressionists, honest voters, cot
tagers, honorable miners, lovers of JUS
tice, sensible financiers, homesteaders,
American freemen, gentlemen, hungry
humanity, producers, fair dealers, vir.
tue, good government, economy, free
DOM. useful capital, industry, equal
rights, honesty, Truth--The People.
And that the opposition to It's adoption
were composed of Chinese, land-grab-
bers, lobbyists, thieving aristocracy,
traitors, divy directors, rings, tax evad-
ers, fossils, bribsrs and suffers, palaces,
tricky trustees, fraud, bank-wreckers,
mOnoPolists, tyrants, towards, BULLDOG
ers, heartless cheats, plunderors, extor-
tionists, Williams, public robbers, extrav-
agance, cursed shylocks, oppression,
gamblers, speculation, special privileges,
knavery, corporations, liars, and pur-
chased rascals generally.

THE LAST RESORT.

A large majority of the people
though their majority in both branches
of Congress, have, demanded the repeal
of the bayonet election laws and army
force bills, and .et Hayes, minority
President who holds his Office by means
of Subornation Of perjury and villain.
GUS frauds, persistently overrides the
will of the people and by the aid of his
power retains these odious measures on
the statute books, against all rules of
precedent, of statesmanship, Of decen.
cy and of honor.
In this condition of affairs it only
remains for the people to orally once
again and in the'contest of 1880 speak
at the polls in tones and with results
not to be misunderstood and not to be
unheeded. We must have President
who is in harmony and sympathy with
the American institutions and with the
great majority Of American freemen,
and then for surety Radical force
bills and bayonet election laws
and fraudulent returning boards and
purchaseable electoral commissions and
their concomitants villains must got

STATE PRINTING.

Mr.. Carriers whole claim Tor the ses-
sion of 1878 is less than $4,000, in
eluding the report of the Investigating
Committee, while that of Mr.. Brown
for less service WAS over $4,000
.StatesDsI53.
The Statesman knows this statement
to be false. Carter only printed the
incidental work Of the Legislature, and
the journals and laws-the reports of
officials being printed by the retiring
State Printer, The reports usually
amount to more than the rest of the
work Besides Carter worked under
the law of 1874 and Brown under the
law Of 1870, and there is reduction in
the former of nearly one,half. Carter
will have the reports to print at the
next session, and his bill will be fully
doubled. The injustice of this sort of
comparison IS too evident to need cum
ment-Xeycury.

A GEASD OPPORTUNITY.

Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, has in.
troduced a bill Tor the relief Of the
poor blacks who are floclsing TO his
State. The telegraph does not inform
us what sum he proposes to appropriate
for that purpose. Wonder what he
proposes to do for the millions of poor
whites in this countryl Are they to
be kept in an impoverished condition :
asks the Louisville Couriey~Jourgiai.
Are they TO be left out in tho cold, un-
pitied and unprovided FOR, by heart
less Congress What Is Aance for the
goose should be sauce for the gandcr
But there is no constitutional authority
to feed either the goose or the gandor
out of Unslo Sans crib. Tho estab.
lishment OF the Freclman's Bureau, to
be sure, can be quoted as precedent
But it should be remembered that when
that act was passed Radical Cong ess.
men, according to the high authority OF
Thsddeus Stevens. were legislating out
side Of the Constitution. Il is 10 be
hoped that those days are passed and
gone forever. The poverty stricken
black immigrants are unquestionably in
need Of help, but it must eome from
the charitable and humane Of the land.
Here is a grand opportunity Tor Eadi-
calls to display their pfofessed love for
tho colored brother. VIII they do it
And will they hold out To the end !

GOING TO INVESTIGATE.

Senator Bruce, who has been APP
pointed chairman Of special Senate
committee to investigate the affairs of
the defunet Freedmen's Bank, announces
that he Will begin his labors as soon as
Congress adjourns, and he doesn't pro-
pose to stop until ne finds out what has
become of the missi,g millions. Thous-
anjs Of defrauded colored men have 4
lively interest in this work, and will
naturally desire to see Senator Bruce
make good his promises. and thank a
Democratic Senate fo- placing him
where he can do justice to his defraud-
ed race.
He viii include in his investigation
the management of the Bureau under
Gen. Howard, as lie believes there was
much ''crookedness" about that concern
in hose days.

HAYES HANGS TO THE WILLOWS.

Hayes has vetoed another bill to ex-
clude troops from the polls. This was
to be expected. Hayes knows his par
tvs only hope of even a temporary con-
tinuance of power in any part of the
country is through the aid of the army
and by means of bulI-dozing U. S. Mar
sIlals and fraudful "election inspectors. 3"
But the Colossal Fraud and his party
will learn that the liberty loving people
are yet strong enough in numbers to
outvote them, troops, bayonets, ballot
box suffers, fraudulent electoral COM
missions and all.

ONLY CONSISTENT.

According to the OrsJoaians stom.
ach-aching over the adoption Of the
New California Constitution, the Iifi.
raft, slum, and rag-tag,and-bobtail ele-
ment Of California procured that re-
suit. This is rather rough on the hon
est, hard-working farming population of
our sister State, who, accorliu. to the
returns, gave the majority for that in
strument. If this is the estimate that
the Oreyoasia7s places upon the farming
population of our own State it is not
to be wondered at that that sheet is
always found advocating the cause of
the bankers, monopolists and money
sharks In this the Oregoaiian is only
consistent, but it is consistency ON
the part of that concern which can
scarcely be regarded as jewel by the
sturdy, honest agriculturists of either
California or Oregon.

The Radical managers got usN the
scheme to hire thousands of negroes
from the South, in order to colonize
them in Democratic States in the North.
Now that the poor deluded victims of
this atrocious conspiracy, to elect a Rad
ical as President next year are famish-
ing in the States 10 which they have
been brought, the old Abolition Gle
comes again to the front and in its lead
are, as matter of course, VIM. Lloyd
Garrison and Wendell Phillips At a
mass meeting in New York. the other
evening, to provide means OF relief for
those misenble victims of Radical ma.
ehination, these WORTHLESS were repre-
sentsd, each by a flaming letter, Gar
rison wanted to know, in his, il four
milliens Of negroes were to be left as
sheep among wolves, and Phillips wrote
that the negroes must either themselves
starve or leave their oppressors to that
fate. Neither of the two sent dollar,
however, or gave anything more sub
stantial than inky trothings, They are
so blinded by their f,natical hatred of
the Southern people that they fail to
see that it is the fault and crime of
those who have deludsd the starving
negroes from their homes in the South,
to the inhospitable land in which they
are now as strangers and destitute, that
this sad lot is encountered by them, and
that the Southerners are not only not
in the least responsible for it, but that
they have all the time labored to pre-
vent the ill-advised exodus. Ii the
negroes starve, says the Examiner, the
people in the States which they were
auartered will be measurably RESPONSE
BILE. Nobody ever heard of negro
starving to death in the South. Ii
Garrison and Phillips and the Radicals
of the North are SO very much moved
to pity, in the case of these wretched
dupes of Radical scheming, let them
prove it by their acts, not by mere
words. Dollars and food and clothes,
and place OF shelter, are the substan-
tial means to relieve people fsom fam,

right to voto money for the purpose.
1t is the duty of the people themselves

AGAINST GRANTIsM.

The New York HeraLd-the confessed
leader of conservative Republieanism in
America-pronounces strongly against
Grantism IN the next Presidential con-
test. That paper very wisely observes
that the moment the Republican party
confesses that it is simply Grant party
and nothing else, or, in other words,
the moment the country discovers that
the party has pinned its hopes upon one
individual AS means of salvation, it
will show weakness which must dis
gust the voters, and which, if the Dem
ocrats are shrewd in their choice of a
candidate, is likely to prove fatal to the
Republicans.
