When Mr.. Scott, Of the Oregonian,
questions the consistency of "Mr.
Clarke" he had better whet his appe-
tite by reading from the files of the
OregoaiaN the account Of the Albany
convention, held October, 1873, which
account bears the signature Of "Sac,
where Scott is announced as the author
Of the so-called mitchell resolutions, /"
which Scott said had to pass "if it burst
the Republican party wide open" ="
There has "a change came Ger the
spirit of his dream" with vengeance.
The Republican party was burst wide

when Ulysses was allowed by Jefferson

Dismissal from the Army, until he had
won his way to high command in the
progress of the civil war, his brother
Orville, and his father Us well, gave
him little help or encouragement.
They refused even to furnish him with
the means to provide himself with q
Colonel's uniform whom he received his
appointment to the command Of an

for his strong Southern sentiments.
Orville was then partner in the tan

Ulysses on little more than board wa

Grant was President he threw many a

APPS, the remaining Indian who was
convicted Of completely in the murder
of whites last summer, was hanged
here to-day. The same precautions
were taken to prevent any trouble.
A number of whites and Indians at
tended the execution. Several promi-
nent Indians addressed the whites as
suring them Of peace in the future.
Two hours before the execution, APPS
bid farewell to his people. He said he
died as an innocent man he had killed
no one. He solemly abjured his peo-
pie to profit by his fate to always re-
main steadfast friends of the whites,
and not harbor i'll feeling toward them.
In an interview with the principal
chiefs, all displayed great anxiety to
have it understood that they had no
intention to retaliate; but would re-
main peaceful. They ask for even Jus
tice, and that the Wholesale plundering
Of their horses by the lawless whites be
stopped. Regarding Commissioner
Hayes recommendation to remove
hem to another locality, the Indians
express partial willingness, but desire

1t will be remembered that accord
ing TO our former school law, directors
were elected on the first Monday in
April. but the last Legislature amend
mended that provision Of the law so as
to read as follows:
SIC. 81. Organized districts shall
hold annual meetings on the first Mon
day in March and shall elect one di-
rector every year for each district, who
shall qualify as aforesaid, and shall
hold his Office for three years, 30 that
the Oldest director shall retire from
Office in order. The directors elected
on the organization of a district, shall
remain or retire, as a vote of the first
annual meeting shall decide the two
getting the highest votes thereat shall
serve until the next annual meeting
thereafter Provided, that in any dis.
trict containing five hundred or more
qualified voters, the annual election for
directors and clerk shall be, held at
from P. NJ. till 6 p. N. Of the. second
Monday in March that such election
shall be by ballot, and that the judges
of such election shall bo appointed by
the directors of said district, who shall
sit at the time and place appointed to
receive and canvass the votes, and re-
port the result to the directors. But
in such districts the annual meeting |
be held on the first Monday in March |

than the election of director and clerk.

of the emergencies connected with
these Indian outbreaks and the calling

They must be supplied or men can't

Mr.. KOehler returned by the Oregon

US that while in New York on his re-

in pattern and weight as those on the
Central Pacific between Saeremento

essary rolling stock and motive
