THE TINE HAS CONE.

The time has come, the Philadelphia
Times declares, when the military au.
thority of the country should be taught
that it is the servant of the civil powers
of the Government, and that it can
have no choice in political disputes be-
yond obedience to the recognized law of
the land. If any other policy shall
DO taught now, no wever indirectly, it
will be regarded as an invitation to the
military commander to solve Presiden-
tial disputes by the sword, and General
Sherman greatly wrongs himself if he
is not ambitious to do it. 1t is init
mated that the friends of the Army
Bill, despairing of its passage in a fair
and free discussion of its merits, pro-
pose to offer its most important sec
tions as an amendment to the army ap-
Against all such efforts
to enact so momentous a measure by
legislative jugglery, every fair-minded
man should protest; and if the House
shall entertain such proposition, it
must be forgetful of all the sore teach
ing Of the past, and indifferent to mil
tary usurpations in behalf fraud in the
future.

EuT ONE HAN.

The people have abundant time, re-
marks the Cincinnati Commercial, to
consider the proposition that wo have
but one man fit to be President, and
he our most distinguished military
chieftain, whose most commendable
quality in civil Office was that of ad-
herring to his friends, who were chosen
without special regard for the general
interests. If we must have Grant for
a third term, we must have him for a
fourth. If he Is necessity to the
country in 1880, he will DO indispensa-
in 1884, and, indeed we shall need him
during his life. The tendency of this
policy is very plain. The American
people cannot fail to understand it com
pletely and reject it accordingly. We
shall not be Mt special trouble to stop
the Grant movement. 1t will stop
itself long before the meeting of the
next National Republican Convention.

No INTERFERENCE THERE.

We see it stated in the Portland
dailies that petition is in circulation
IN ROseburg to prevent the hanging of
the two Cinnamon recently convicted
and sentenced in Portland. What in
thunder Roseburg has to do with
Chinese hanging in Portland somewhat
puzzles US, but it may be that some
crazy loon has started such a petition
and is attempting to secure signatures.
But the ROseburg people are level
headed, and will not be ''sniped" into
any such grave matter as compounding
a felony of this nature.

SOw LOOK HERE:

We have always desired and gen
orally secured the good will of our
newspaper exchanges throughout the
State, and still desire to hold this fra.
terDal concord but several of our ex-
charges have practice of gobbling up,
-.body anI breeches," whole articles
from our paper without even intimat-
ing the locality from which they cone,
and we think it is about time this style
of newspaper vandalism were stopped.
We hunt our items and write them up,
and there is no excuse for journalistic
quacks transferring them to their col
umns without credit. 1t is not only
unfair but unprofessional. This arti-
Gle only applies to the guilty.

Full-bOsomed, near and warm,
A sweet o!d dream surprising
Remembrance with its charm

Another world than ours,

On wooden walls and towers;
Under the locusts walking
We breathe an air divine
Tho stars and flowers are talking
And we all speech resign.

The throbblng summer night,

You went your way soreaoly,
And / went mine with blame;
Your brow was fair and queenly,
And mine was rod with fiamc.

First love may fade, but dies not,
Though wounded and distressed;
Tho stars, long since departed,
Still shines TO dua.-yoiled eyes,

Though after days deride us
With Hymen's broken ring,
We know that once beside us
An angel stopped his wings,
And angels come so rarely,
Along life's troubled way
We may remember faiIly
The moment, as tile day.
We leave our dead, with yeatninz,
Where the daisies drink tho dow,
And live our lives In learning

For dreams, In wild expansions

And wrought such rosarios;

IT Is A PITY.

If Mr.. Blaine really wanted the
Southern question to be investigated,
the Boston Herald thinks that it is a
pity he did not take place on the
Committee. The older Senators were
jealous enough of him in the begin
ming, and we must not expect them to
work for him if he cuts out the work
and then turns away from it. The in
vestigation is likely to be farce. The
people are tired of the Southern ques-
tion-every phase of it. They have
decided to let the States run their own
Governments. They see that things
are very much better than they were,
even in South Carolina and Louisiana,
and are willing to leave the rest to
time and education. A system that
makes Hampton Governor and Ssna-
tor is better than one that elevates
Moses or Patterson. The Northern
mind is settling down to that conclu-
sion, and less political capital will be
made out of Southern election frauds
than seemed probable when Congress
first came together. 1t would be the
simplest matter possible for the Demo-
Gratis to to take the wind out of Mr..
Blaine's sails by protesting against any
wrong committed by their own party,
but without it they viii be judged
rather by the wisdom Of their public
acts than BY any expression Of opinion

will retract the statements contained in

do not retract l will be compelled to

You also report the drug bill over

bill was ever got or paid for, the cor

this matter, fully trusting to Thompson

xOT A DEMOCRATIC CosuMIrrEE.

We observe that our Republican ex.
changes presistently urge that the late
4'defuncted" Investigating Committee
was composed of Democrats with but
one exception-D. P. Thompson of
Multnomah. This is not the case.
Col. John E. Ross, another member of
the committee, was supported by the
solid Republican vote of jackson coun-
t. and was elected over the regular
Democratic nominee; consequently he
IS Republican, anything. Hon.
John White, another member of the
committee was for many years Rad
seal leader in Multnomah county, was
elected by the Republicans of that
county to the Legislature and still
boasts of having secured Corbetts cleo
tion to the United States Senate. The
ether two members of the committee,
Thompson and Galloway, are Demo
crats, but Thompson didn't stay to see
the 'fnvtigation" through, and Gallo
way was Gin the hands Of his friends p
IF this sort Of conglomeration can
be called Democratic committee we
confess our ignorance of what Demo-
cratic committee should be composed

ST.. JosEPH, Mo, Jan. 26.-The
State IAInatic Asylum, adjacent to this
city, was discovered to be on fire at
o'clock Saturday afternoon and was
totally destroyed. No adequate means
bad ever been provided TO extinguish
fire, and but little resistance could be
made to the spreading flames. The FIRE
originated in the laundry and some Of
the employees we're slightly scorched in
attempting to a arrest it. The patients,
about $50 in number, were safely re-
moved and now occupy the court house
in this city, everything boing done for

some from exposure and excitement
The building was erected four years age
at cost Of $4,000. Eighteen
months ago there was 100000 insur
ance, but the State refused an appro
priation TO continue the same, therefore
the loss is total.

ONE OF BLAISE's SUBJECTS.

As one Of the proofs of bull-dozing
the negroes in the South by Democrats,
Senator Blaine instanced the defeat Of
Ruben Davis, the Independent candi-
date for Congress in one Mississippi
District at the last election. But it
turns out that the reason why the col
ored voters refused to vote for Mr..
Davis was his ideas of their, race, as
expressed by himself in speech in a
former campaign, in which he said: 81
think that the negro is by nature dis
honest; l think the negro by nature
destitute of all ideas of virtue and /
think the negro is capable of being in
duced to commit any crime whatever,
however violent, especially if he was
encouraged by bad white men. That
is my opinion of the negro" It
might require bull-dozing to force ne
groes to vote for such candidate, but
surely not to vote to defeat him.

Now that the investigation has clear
ly failed as party investment, there
is remote possibility that some good
may como out Of it, is the opinion Of
the Springfield Republican. The lon
gitudinal axis of the country is heav-
lily represented on the Committee, and
the non-participation Of the leading
Republican partisans may not prove a
grievous loss to the country.
