A SEw ISsTE WILL nE RAISED.

BY Grants nomination a new issue
will be raised, remarks the Brooklyn
Eagle, and it will turn on the disposi.
ton Of the people, temporarily or per
manently,to suspend the ordinary meth
ods for the conduct of the Republican
government. On such an issue the
candidate opposed to Grant would bO
an altogether secondary question. 1t
will bo overshadowed by the greater
issue; Are the American people de.
sirous of virtually abandoning their
form of government for the time beingi
The Eagle further says: We dc not
think they are, but if they are not, it
is clearly within the power of the
party that elected Mr.. Tilden in 1868
to elect Kim again in 1880, and We
doubt if it be in its power to elect any
body else. II is possible that enough
has been done, through the division Of
the Democratic party in the Empire
State and through the depression which
has followed it in other States, to de-
feat tho Democrats in 1880, under any
candidate. The nomination Of Mr..
Tilden would be an assurance that
these discussions were in a great meas
ure settled; his defeat in a Democratic
National Convention weuld be proof
that they are irreconcilable, and that
the Democratic leaders prefer to secure
the accomplishment of their personal
ends and aims TO the success Of the
man who had led the Democracy in the
only victory they have secured within
this generation.

IMPORTANT TO FRINTERs.

A California Judge has recently de-
oided q case Of considerable interest to
both printers and publishers and type
founders. The suit was an action Of
replevin, brought by II. G. Shaw, of
the Pacific Lite, against Sheriff Nunan,
to recover a quantity Of typo and print
ing msterial which had been levied on
by the Sheriff The plaintiff contend
cd that under tho Code this property
was exempt from execution, AZ it fOrm-
ed the tools or implements of an ar
tisan, by means of which he supported
himself and family. After a number
of experts and witnesses had been ex-
amined, Justice Wright, in denying
the motion for a non-suit, held that the
design and effect Of the law Of exemp-
ton were to secure to men the use and
enjoyment of the implements by which
they are accustomed TO obtain subsist-
ence in their respective occupations.
The exemption is not merely restricted
to the tools used by the artisan with
his own hands, but comprise such in
character and amount AZ arc necessary
to enable him to prosecute his appro-
priate business in n convenient and ap-
propriate manner, and the only rule by
which it can be restricted is that of
good sense and discretion in reference
to the circumstances OF each particular
case. 1t would be too narrow a con-
struction of humane and beneficial
$ tatute to deny to artisans the neces-
sary instruments Of their employment.
Our statutes on the subject were much
broader than those of the other States,
excepting Missouri, and they must be
literally construed.-S. +. Bulletin.

RETRBUTION.

The radicals who Perpetrated such
glaring frauds in South Carolina arc
now having justice meted out to them
by the Courts. The telegraph tells US
that last Tuesday, Sam Lee, a colored
Republican leader, recently appointed
postmaster at Sumpter, S. c., was tried
and found guilty of official misconduct
while judge of probate. Lee could net
be found but was represented by coun-
sci. His attorneys made a motion for
q new trial and arrest of Judgment.
Both motions were denied and Lee was
called for sentence, but failed to appear,
and Judge Mackey placed the sentence
under seal with the clerk of the court
On the same day the grand jury of
Charleston county found a true bill
against E. W. Mackey, Republican, for
libel, in publishing charges against W.
l. Daggett, Democrat, of stufing the
ballot box at Palmetto engine house at
the late election. If there is any vir-
tue in the Courts down there we think
the carpet baggers will have to con6ne
themselves to the truth hereafter.

CAPE TowN VIA sT. VINCENT, Jan.
30.-On the 2lst inst. a British col
umn consisting Of portion Of the Gath
regiment, battery of artillery, and
600 native auxiliaries, were utterly an
initiated near TuquelA river by 10000
zulus, who captured valuable convoy
of 1O2 wagons, 1000 oxen, two can
non, 400 shot and shell, 1000 rifles,
%, 900 rounds Of ammunition, 10000
pounds weight Of provisions, and the
colors of the Gath regiment. 1t is os-
timated that 5000 Zulus were
killed and wounded in the battle.
Among tho killed on the British side
arc two majors, four captains, twelve
lieutenants and quartermaster Of the
gath regiment; two captains Of the
royal artillery . eelOnel, captain, four
lieutonants, sergeant and major Of en-
gineers, besides twenty other British
officers commanding native levies.
Seven attacks, subsequently made by
the Zulus, have been rcpulsed, and the
colony is now somewhat recovering
from the utter condemnation which at
first prevailed. Natal, however, is in
great danger, and disturbances are
feared in Pongland. Lord Chelms-
ford, commander Of the expedition, has
been forced to retire in consequence Of
the defeat. It Is estimated that 800
soldiers were killed, besides the officers
enumerated above. Governor Sir Bar
tle Freere has sent appeals TO Eng
land for Teinforeements. The mail
steamer for England was dispatched n
day earlier than usual with . request
fer six regiments of infantry and a
brigade Of cavalry.
LONDON, Feb. ll.-Detsils Of the
disaster to the British ferce in South
Africa show that the guns were spiked
before they were captured.

There is lots Of talk about Grant
for the next Presidency, but no better
aIgum ent could be made against him
than the fact of his selfshness and
ncpctism. He had the happy faculty
of obeying tho Biblical injunction that
"he who does not provide for his own
househould is worse than an in6del, and
in order to secure his eternal salvation
he appointed even his forty seventh
cousin to an office.
While Grant was President BIO tried
to induce Cen. Sherman TO have his
son Fred Grant promoted, he being
Cd lieutenant; but Gen. Sherman would
not agree to IL, because it would DO un-
just to n large number Of officers above
his grade. However, he found a will
ling tool in Gen. Sheridan, who aided
in raising the young scion Of nobility
to the rank and pay Of 1t. Colonel.
Fred wo beiieVe never smelt gunpoW-
der in battle. 1t. Col. Grant has re-
cOived permission from the Secretary Of
War to join his father in his cruise in
the east. Gen. Grant has been travel
ing all over Europe since his time ox-
pired as President at the expense Of
the Government. lie has u large
steamship belonging to the navy Of the
United States, which takes him TO any
place he wishes to 60. Hc is accom-
panied by his family. And now Col.
Fred has leave to join the family, hav-
ing his bills paid by Uncle Sam. Verify
Gen. Grant has been feted and toasted
as no other ex. President Of tho U. s.
has from Washington down till you
come TO Grant.

Governors tho Republicans object to
this, and want to fix il SO that only
Republicans can be appointed. As the
work is to be done during the year of
the Presidential campaign, it would
seem entirely proper to have it as far
removed from federal patronage as pos
sible, and Mr. Cox's plan is certainly as
near nOn.partian as can be. The
special agents and experts being under
the control of the Superintendent, who
is to be federal appOintee, that is
enough. The federal patronage is al
ready enormous, and politics enter too
much into every department of public
business Notable society events
have not been numerous 80 far. Re
ceptions at the White House are far
moro slimly attended than ever before

TRAFFIC WIN CHINA.

Just now, in order TO affect the fate
Of the Bill before Congress to restrict
the immigration of Chinese, the adve-
Gates Of tho Mongolians are endeavor-
ing to get up a scare at Washington, as
to the loss of the trade between China
and the United States. But what
does this trade amount tol The total
exports of produce and merchandise
from the United States to China IL less
than three millions a year. The specie
export is nearly twelve millions. This
enormous export of specie will describe
the difference of trade against this
country and in faver of China. In
other words, in order to sell that coun-
try three millions worth of breadstuff
every year, the United States bay
twelve millions Of dollars worth of teas
and silks and other wares from the
Chinese. If China should declare non
intercourse to morrow with this Gov.
eminent, it would be millions to the
profit of our people, and correspond
ing loss to the Chinese. So between
the trade with China and the unlimited
immigration allowed to her population,
or the prohibition of that immigration
and absolute stoppage Of trade by all
means let US have the latter. To give
a coolie dollar to get two bits in ex-
change will not pay in a single trans
action, and the eftener it is repeated
the worse it is for tho white man and
the more profitable for the heathen
Chinee. The loss of the China trade
scare is feeble devices. r. Eramin-

THEY MIST CO.

From the recert outrageous acts of
the Mongolians of Albany it would
seem that they have more immunity
from punishment for criDe than the
very humblest American citizen. The
very fact that in three days of the past
week rape of a six-year old white
girl was proven to have been perpe-
trated by a lOathsome, diseased, al
nond- eyed wretch that another Mon
golian attempted similar crime upon
one of our NEST respected Albany
ladies, and that it was still necessary
on the night of the last mentioned oc-
currence, for our vigilant Sheriff to use
firearms to protect his own property
from these yillainous wretches, is a suf-
fcient argument in faver of the popu-
lar American cry-'Me Chinese must

SHALL WE HAVE THE EAuLRoADs

It will be noticed by our local col
umns that meeting of the citizens of
Albany was held last Friday night to
devise ways and means for securing the
proposed narrow gauge railroad from
Springfield toathis place. The matter
was quite fully discussed and a com
mittee appointed to report progress at
an adjourned meeting tonight.
New, the question is, what shall we
dol This enterprise, as We have here
tOfore frequently urged through the
columns of the DEMocRAT, is Of i'm
mense Importance to Albany and the
adjacent country and we cannot afford to
lose it. Once permit railroad to start
from Springfield "a point south of the
southernmost limits of Linn and run
ming thence to Brownsville, Sand Ridge,
Lebanon, Scio, etc.-thus betting the
whole of the eounty-and tapping
our Ilehest agricultural distrct-and
then permit it to so on to Salem, car
rying the millions of bushels of grain
produced in Linn to another place of
transit, and then consider what our
city would lose.
Albany people can't afford to shut
their eyes to this question. That rail-
road viii be built, and with our char
rcteristic energy, promptly exercised,
We may reap the lions share of the
benefits Of il.
The meeting tonight is for the pur-
pose of hearing the report of the COM
mittCe appointed to correspond with
the railroad company and to adopt fur
ther measures for an immediate effort
to secure this road.

THE San Francisco Examiner, which,
in treating of weekly papers and their
vocation, aptly remarks: "How great
becomes the toll, how vexatious the
disappointment, to the editor of the
weekly paper, who gathers up the fund
of local news which flows in upon him
from every corner Of his section of the
country, and the intelligence from
every quarter of the globe which each
days mails bring him, and seeks to
give his readers not only the best of it
all, but the pith and substance of it
all. AS we look over our weekly ex-
changes, and see with what success the
painstaking editor has met these de-
mands upon him, we are amazed at the
industry which is exhibited. There is
more labor frequently, upon one col
umn of news in first class weekly
journal, than upon a whole page in an
ordinary city Journal"

An IuIsuMAN To THE YR0NT.

Gen. Shields il not only the "hero
of two wars" but he is "Senator from
three States" His career has been re-
markable. He was born in the county
of Tyrone, Ireland, in 1910, and settled
in KaakaskiA, Ill, in 1882. He has
been a member Of the Illinois and Mis-
souri, Legislatures, Auditor Of the
State Of Illinois, Judge Of her Su-
preme Court with Douglas, her Senator
in Congress, = Senator also from the
State Of Minnesota, a Major General
in the war with Mexico and the war Of
tho Rebellion, Governor Of Oregon
Territory, and Commissioner of the
General Land Office. His recent cleo
ton by tho Missouri LegislaturS, TO gil
tho unexpired term Of the late Senator
Bogy makes him a triplicate United
States Senator. Few men attain 70
the distinction Of United States Sena-
tor, and we believe Gen. Shields Is the
only one who has had the honor Of rep
rcsenting three sovereign States in that
capacity.
Our information is that he il still
bale and hearty at the advanced ago Of
three score and ten, and, a. his term
as Senator from Missouri expires On
the 4th of March next, he may come
to Oregon and elect himself Senator
from this State in 1882.

"a HORSE OF ANOTHER COLOR"

Here's "nigger" bull-dozing in the
North. A dispatch says that five law
less negroes at Port Chester, New
York, last Saturday armed themselves
and committed several acts of lawless-
ness IN the streets, but were finally run
into the woods. Henry Hart and AL
exander Banks were wounded.
If this matter he'd occurred down
South, and FIVE white men had acted
thusly, we would have had a Congress
sional investigating committee down
there by the first train. Why don't
the Teller Committee leave the South
and go to New York.
